“Where do you think you are going, sweetheart?”The man standing in front of her was short, skinny, and wore a dirty and disgusting smile. There were uncovered lusts and crude desire beaming from his slender eyes. It took Amelia some time to recall who he was—One of the many customers she served in the coffee shop. She remembered his name was Scott. She met Scott on the second day of her work. Vernonia once warned her about him. “He is one of the gang members who ran the unlicensed taxis in this area. Be careful and don’t cross him.”Amelia nodded her head and greeted Scott with her beautiful smile as she did to others. She didn’t know much about gangsters and their illegal business, and she had no intention to cross anyone. That’s why she was able to serve him without any bias.Her innocent smile and her fragile beauty somehow impressed the rough man. From that day, he came to the coffee shop frequently and asked her out a few times.Amelia declined him politely of course. She didn
“Can you take the shower on your own?”After going back to the hotel, Carlie didn’t take Amelia to the fourth, but back to her own room on the second floor. She put Amelia on her bed and then turned on the tap to put hot water in the bathtub.Amelia kept mute all the time, but gradually she gained back her sense. The rotten smell of the hotel, the pungent odor of Carlie’s cheap cosmetics, and the annoyingly loud noises coming from the hallway just reminded her that she was currently in the human world, which was a place big, strange but warm, and far far away from her scary wolf pack.There were no wolves around her anymore and there was no Ian. She had escaped from him and he would never find her ever again. Never.Amelie wiped off the water drops on her face with the backs of her hands. It’s hard to tell whether they were tears or just raindrops.She lifted her head and saw Carlie changing her clothes. Noticing she had back to her sense, Carlie quickly threw her a bath towel and
It was Darren.The moment Amelia saw him she got frightened, but she soon recognized it was her mate who was looking after her.The rain was heavy which soaked his fur to the skin, but he didn’t move a bit as that would cause him to lose sight of her window.When Amelia looked down at him, he got startled first and then quickly walked away with his head lowered. Amelia noticed his ears went down and there was a trace of guilt flashing through his lonely green eye.He was feeling guilty and regretting, guilty of not being able to help her, regret of not finding her earlier…Amelia felt her heart get stung. She didn’t want a relationship anymore, but she had no intention to hurt Darren. In her pathetic short life, Darren was the first one who was nice to her. He saved her from that cold wheelchair and comforted her with his soft, warm fur.He was indeed a ferocious animal, but wasn’t a scary man.Amelia clutched the windowsill in her hands. She bit her lower lip, wondering, hesitating,
Amelia woke up at 6 when Carlie left for work.She got to rest today so she could sleep as much as she liked, but she couldn’t do it as she now felt too embarrassed by what happened last night.She lay on the bed, hiding under the cover with her body curled up into a ball. To think of that kiss, her face burned with shyness and disbelief.She had no idea why she kissed Darren like that, just like she had no idea why she always acted baldly while facing him.Don’t you ever talk to strangers.Don’t you ever touch another man.For all those years, those rules Ian stipulated to her were so deeply carved into her bones. To think of the consequence of finding out by Ian, Amelia thought she would never have the courage to get intimated with anyone, whether spontaneously or not. But last night not only did she clean his fur, she kissed his forehead and she liked it, not the feeling of their skin touching each other, but the feeling of owning the courage to do things she thought she couldn’t.
Darren felt embarrassed. He didn’t know how to act in this awkward situation. The little boy liked him too much. He insisted on bathing him with Amelia together. Amelia didn’t stop him. Instead, she seemed to be enjoying doing so.They let him sit in the bathtub, then soaked him with hot water from top to toe. Amelia fetched her own body wash from her room. They smeared it all over his body, then started to rub his fur. The little boy Eric took care of his forelimbs. Amelia took care of his back. She sat at the edge of the bathtub, starting from the top of his head.She put her palms there first and then grabbed his ears, rubbing them gently with her delicate fingers. Her motions were soft but the stimulation was strong. It cost all Darren’s willpower not to moan in front of the little boy. And then, she slipped her hands down to his mandibular lines. She used her fingertips to massage the muscles on his cheeks and then gradually moved her gentleness to his neck. Darren felt hi
Amelia kept silent the whole time after leaving Eric’s room.She kept her head low as if she was contemplating. When she got back to Carlie’s room, she sat on her bed silently with her eyes fixed on the floor.Darren escorted her all the way back. He felt her emotions going down the moment she saw that little girl. He didn’t know the reason, but he was worried about her.“Is everything alright?” He walked toward her and then sat beside her legs.Amelia averted her gaze onto him. It was hard to specify her feelings now.Her old life with Ian. Her new life in the hotel. Her destiny of being Darren’s fate and the future of going back to the wolf world.She liked Darren but she didn’t want to marry him. She hated wolves but she didn’t want him to disappear.“Could you not shift in front of me?” She asked, knowing she was making trouble out of nothing. To ask an Alpha wolf to keep his wolf form all the time was outrageous, but Amelia didn’t want him to change. She didn’t want him to beco
Alpha James had never thought his pack would be defeated by a rogue. Not only half of his army was demolished, but he also had to sign a statement to announce his waiver of half of his property as the price for peace.The Blue Forest Pack used to be the strongest in this area. When he was young, all the other Alphas looked up to him. He used to be one of the most powerful wolves. Even the Wolf Committee had to treat him with respect. But things changed without him even noticing it.Long before Darren took over the Alpha’s title of the rogues 5 years ago, his status had been challenged. No matter lost or won, in every single war he fought with rogues, Alpha James always lost something. Sometimes an excellent warrior or a tracer. Sometimes a piece of land was extremely important. Alpha James was shocked and confused at first. And then he started to dig into the reason why he kept losing all the fights. He had all those meetings and discussions with his Betas and his warriors. In the e
Amelia felt very nervous.Darren was about to take her out for their first date.She was curious how he could manage that in wolf form. But there were excited expectations flickering in her heart.On her first date with Ian, Ian drove her into the depths of the woods and raped her in the car. He said, “That’s what will happen when you agree to be on a date with a guy.” He also told her, “It is your only use as a girlfriend.”He told her she must satisfy his needs whenever he wanted in whatever way he liked. Amelia tried to tell her parents but failed. Gradually, she just let him.Ever since Ian came to her pack, her life had been reshaped to a different one. He brainwashed her with all kinds of twisted ideas incessantly. Day by day, Amelia just lost her ability to tell wrong from right. She didn’t know what rules she should follow, or what she shouldn’t. She was played by Ian like a doll and she had no dare even to complain.But now she met Darren, and Darren was very different from
