After dinner, Darren sent Amelia back to the hotel. She kept silent all the way. Darren knew it was his “like” that was disturbing her. He felt her mood change instantly after he said it. The ambiance surrounding her from then on was not sad or troubled, but confused and…distant.Darren wondered if he had done something wrong. He meant to tell her he loved her, but it might scare her, so he changed the word to “like”. It turned out that she didn’t like that word either.“Amelia, did I upset you?”After driving Amelia back to the hotel, Darren stood at the front door. He still remembered she didn’t like him to intrude on her private space, so he stopped there.He lifted his head to look up at Amelia’s back with worries in his lonely green eye. Amelia seemed to be startled by his voice.She turned around with a blank face as if she was just now daydreaming.When she realized what Darren was asking, she knelt down in front of him.“Of course not. You didn’t upset me. I was just wonderin
Next morning, the first thing Amelia did after she woke up was jump off the bed and rush towards the window.She just had the best sleep ever and she wanted to share her joy with Darren.She reached out her arms to pull open the curtain with this big smile on her face. The morning daylight spread into the room following her motion. It brightened everything, including her emotion.She pushed open the window with overloaded ecstasy of finding her true mate, then looked down into the alley. She was expecting to see Darren there smiling and wagging his tail, but sadly there was nothing.Nobody was in the alley, nor did any wolf. “He must be waiting at the front door.” She thought, feeling a little down but not disappointed.She quickly went into the bathroom to refresh herself, and then changed into her best clothes and put on her make-up. The make-up she wore yesterday was helped by Carlie. It had been forever since the last time she did her own make-up.Amelia put the foundation on her
“Long time no see, my dear wife.”The moment she turned her head, Amelia had frozen on the spot.The man standing behind her back was young, refined, and handsome. He had short, slightly curled black hair and a pair of fascinating deep grey eyes. When he met Amelia’s gaze, he gave her this bright, and charming smile. His voice was soft and low as whispering. But it awakened the deepest fear buried in Amelia’s heart.It was Ian. Her ex-husband and her biggest nightmare.Amelia tried to escape, but Ian grabbed her by her neck and then smashed her into the wall beside the door.“Where do you think you are going, Wife?” He kept his charming smile, squeezing Amelia’s neck, lifting her into the air, so she could utter no sounds for help.He tightened his grip on her throat little by little, watching her gradually choke due to lack of air. Amelia grasped his wrist, scratching his arm. She struggled hard, trying to get away from his ruthless claw. But Ian was much stronger than her. The only
In the downtown at Wolf Committee. Darren had no idea what a hellish ordeal his mate was going through.He was being tortured too.In the meeting room, around the huge conference table, he was placed at the end of it, facing tons of uncovered disdain and contempt from all the other “legitimate” Alphas.On the opposite of him was Fay, the Chief Luna of the Wolf Committee. She took a chair at the head of the table, looking at him with a light sneer on her meticulously cared face.“I think I’ve made it very clear on the phone.” She spoke coldly, leaning forward to place her elbows on the table, crossing her fingers together, “Why don’t you bring that poor girl here as I asked, Rogue?”Darren was in his human form. It would be impolite to attend a meeting like this as a wolf. He wore a formal black suit as the other Alphas did. The fabric and the bind made him very uncomfortable. He got more irritable because of that. “Watch your language, Fay,” he growled, “Amelia is not some poor girl.
In the central building of Wolf Committee, Darren hesitated, standing behind the front gate of the lobby.He came to the meeting alone but shredded his clothes when he shifted. If he left the building now, he would have to walk on the street in his wolf form. Normally, it wouldn’t be a problem since most humans in the city could never tell the difference between wolves and dogs, but he is an Alpha, and the only one he could tolerate looking down at him and treating him as a dog was his mate, Amelia.To walk between human legs was unquestionable humiliation. Darren stopped his steps involuntarily and started wondering. Roland was currently too far from him to mind-link. It was impossible to ask him to bring clothes here. But to walk on the street alone in his wolf form…After hesitating for a while, right before he decided to take the chance and run back to his packmates, a girl in a blue suit suddenly appeared from behind a door at his right side.She wore a pair of dazzling purple hi
Amelia escaped from Ian. Or to be more specific, Ian escaped from her.She bit off almost half of Ian’s face. He had never been injured this much before. It would take him some serious time to recover. And her sudden madness scared him. She made him feel he had lost control of her. There was a crowd gathering around because of the huge noise he made when he kicked Amelia out of the car. Ian knew he wouldn’t stand a chance once being caught beating a woman. So, he simply stepped on the gas and ran away.Some warm-hearted passersby supported Amelia up from the ground, gently asking if she needed any help. Amelia spoke nothing, answered nothing. She even heard nothing. She had already lost her heart along with her soul the moment she saw that girl kissing Darren.If only Ian hadn’t said those fake, cruel things to her in advance, she would have caught up with her mate and figured out it was simply a misunderstanding, a nasty, treacherous trap. But there were too many wounds in her hear
At around 9 at night, Amelia followed Irene and got off the train at a small town not so far away from the city. Irene purchased a second-hand car there in advance. She had planned to go to the east along with the highway.“Eric’s father is a very … special wolf. I mustn’t let him track us down. Travelling by car is the best way to hide our traces.” While they were still on the train, Irene told Amelia about her “travel plan”.Amelia nodded her head without asking Irene the reason why she was escaping. Irene didn’t ask Amelia either. She knew Amelia was Alpha’s mate. That had already explained everything.After getting off the train, Irene left Amelia with Eric and Ella at the train station, then picked up the car by herself.When she came back, the time was late, but she insisted on getting on the way now.“We can’t stay in a hotel. It will raise the chance of being found out.” She explained, then asked Amelia, “Do you know how to drive? We need to take turns.”Amelia had never lear
Natalia was very excited about her 18th birthday.Her father, the Alpha of the Red River Pack, Robert Moore, had prepared a huge birthday party to help her locate her mate. Natalia had been looking forward to it for so long. She didn’t even get any sleep when that day actually came.In the morning, the first thing she did after jumping off her bed was try on her splendid new dress. It was a strapless dark blue one which falls just below her knees, with shining sprinkles on the hemline just like lovely stars shining in the deep blue night. She got her mother to prepare it for her the day after she met her mate.Yes, though it happened six months ago, long before she turned 18, Natalia was sure that the man she met in the woods the other day was her mate.He was this gorgeous male wolf who was tall and strong, with disheveled shoulder-length black hair and a fascinating silver eye. They said he was the Rogue, the living legend among all the werewolves.Two years ago, he defeated sever
