Amalthea's POV

My lungs burned within me but I kept pushing. I took deep breaths and kept up the pace with the other pack members.

Like Nicholson had ordered, today was my first official day back on the training grounds and I was informed it all began with a pack morning jog.

Even though I was out of breath and sweaty beyond belief I was glad it was a jog in human form and not with our wolves.

At least this way I didn't have to cook up some lies.

We jogged around the pack borders two whole times and I was ready to drop dead when Mikayla announced we were just warming up.

Several pack members eyed me wearily, no doubt thinking I was weak and waiting for me to drop dead.

That was what kept on pushing me...the urge to prove them wrong.

"Alright everyone, pair in twos and begin your basic combat sparring." Mikayla announced as we got to the training grounds.

Everyone started pairing in two and I was at a loss.

"Would you like to be my partner?" I awkwardly asked the woman beside

    Amalthea's pov I stared down at the light which seemed to be shining from my chest. What the hell was that? I gripped my chest and it was uncommonly warm. "They are coming for it." A voice called out to me and I turned to face a woman who looked strikingly like me. "Who are you?" I asked with furrowed brows. "That's not what's important." She said with a sad smile. "What's important is that you protect it." She said cryptically. "Protect what?" I questioned. "Can't you feel it beating in your chest?" She retorted. This woman was crazy. "Keep it safe or else the consequences would be dire." She called out to me as I began walking away from her. "Keep it safe." She screamed at me in a panic. I bolted up from my bed as I woke up. I looked around me and sighed when I realized it was just a dream and I was in fact still in my room. I tried to calm my breathing and blinked the sleep out of my eyes. What kind of dream was that? Was it merely a dream or was someone trying to

    Amalthea's pov Nicholson's smile slowly slipped away from his face as he stared at me and my heart dropped as our eyes met and held. Good, he didn't deserve to be happy and all smiled around me when he was making my life miserable. "Thea, so glad you could make it." Callum smiled at me. He was the only one who genuinely looked happy with my presence at the picnic. "Thea?" Mikayla arched a questioning brow at Callum. "It's our little nickname for her." Callum explained as Jade and I took our places on the mat. I strategically positioned myself as far away from Nicholson as possible, just as I had at the dinner. "It's nice to see you too Beta Callum." I offered him a small smile. "Just Callum is fine." He retorted. "It's Beta Callum to her." Nicholson gritted out and I furrowed my brows. "Just Callum then." I purposefully ignored Nicholson's words, wanting to get on his nerves. He stared at me with fire in his eyes but I ignored him. "So what did we miss?" Jade asked, clearin

    Amalthea's POV I intended to head back to the pack house but somehow I had lost my way. I wandered aimlessly in the forest, trying to find my way back. It was then I noticed the darkening clouds and the earthy scent of rain in the air. I looked up to the sky and it was obvious a storm was coming. I hastened my footsteps, although I wasn't sure if I was headed in the right direction. My eyes scrambled to find the nearest building or anywhere at all I could take cover under as the first angry raindrops fell onto my face. All I could see were trees...for miles to come. The rain began to fall in all earnesty and my clothes slowly began to cling to my body. I screamed as a thunderclap boomed in the air, startling me. The winds rose and blew with vigour and I had to hold on to a tree before I would be swept off. Pure fear and panic gripped me as it only got worse. I had never imagined this would be how I would die. Why had I let Nicholson's words rile me up and more importantly

    Nicholson's pov "You dare to cut me off?" I sneered as I gripped the armrest. I had never in my life met anyone as aggravating and irritating as the little woman who sat in the middle of the bed. "Look Alpha." Almathea gritted out my title. "I already know it was stupid of me to leave the picnic when I didn't know my way back but you were the one who got me angry in the first place." She accused, her voice considerably more calm. "And while I'm grateful you somehow found me and saved me, that doesn't mean I'll let you bite my head off." She finished off and plopped back down on the bed. I remained silent as I observed her. Did this woman realize I had the power to crush her? The power to kill her within seconds? "Where are we anyways?" She arched her brows as she took in her surroundings. "A cottage not too far from the pack." I replied quietly. "How did you find it?" Almathea asked, she was so ignorant. "It belonged to my mother." I revealed and she looked up at me sharply

    Nicholson's POV I crossed my hands over my chest as I watched the pack members train. My expression was stoic as always, revealing nothing as I watched them. My eyes landed on Mikayla and Amalthea at a corner and I couldn't look away. I convinced myself the only reason I stared at them was because I knew Amalthea needed more training than the rest of the pack members but my conscience called me out for the liar I was. I couldn't turn my gaze away no matter how hard I tried as I watched Almathea's clumsy movements. My lips twitched in amusement as she tripped on her own feet and fell to the ground. How could a she-wolf be so weak and clumsy? "If you stare at her hard enough, she might just transform into a powerful, feared warrior." Callum broke into my thoughts, standing beside me. "Excuse me?" I turned towards him, feigning ignorance. "You know exactly what I'm talking about Nick. Stop staring at her so blatantly before your pack members begin to ask questions." He said, giv

    Amalthea's pov "Where are we going?" I asked for the millionth time, as Alpha Nicholson led me deeper into the woods. “You’ll see,” he said tersely. “So, I should just keep following blindly?” I asked irritatedly. "That's what you are doing right now, isn't it?" He retorted. I stomped my feet to the ground. “I’m not moving an inch until you tell me where we are going, Alpha,” I folded my arms across my chest, my brows knitted in a frown. "Now's not the time for your childish tantrums,” he said in a dangerously low tone that sent shivers down my spine, but still riled me up regardless. "Childish tantrums?" I gritted out. "Now's not the time for an argument, believe me,” he turned on his heels and began walking, no doubt expecting me to follow behind him. I remained rooted to the spot where I stood. I had to make him understand that he couldn't control me, I wasn't his minion. "Amalthea." Nicholson growled back at me. "Like I said, I'm not moving another inch till you tell me

    Amalthea's pov "Is everything okay?" Jade's voice pulled me out of my thoughts. "I'm fine." I muttered, not looking at her as I flipped a page of my book absentmindedly. "You have been reading the same page of that book for the last fifteen minutes." She pointed out. "I'm trying to dissect the text." I said lamely. Jade snorted, not believing a word I just said. But I couldn't care less at the moment, since we got back from the seer, my mind hasn't been at ease. Different thoughts were racing through my mind but mostly one bothered me the most. If the werebears indeed came for me why hasn't he given me up yet? I definitely meant nothing to him and he had nothing to lose but everything to gain from stopping their attacks on his pack. If the attacks persisted would his decision waver? Would he eventually hand me over to them? I was losing my mind at this point. "You know you can talk to me, right Thea?" Jade said, her face etched with worry. I sighed, dropping the book to th

    Nicholson's POV "The seer was unable to provide any useful information." I informed Callum. "How is that possible? He knows everything." Callum looked as confused as I felt. "He said some nonsense about not wanting to alter fate but the main thing is he couldn't tell me anything." I explained in frustration. "What are you going to do now?" Callum asked and I rubbed my hand down my face. "I don't know." I admitted and it was true. I was at a loss for what to do. "Would you consider handing the girl over?" Callum asked. "That is not an option." I said with finality. Callum looked at me for a few seconds, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "What's so amusing?” I gritted out. "Nothing at all." Callum shrugged. "We better find a way around this, and early,” he suggested, and just then a knock came on the door. "Come in." I said, as I could already tell how as at the door. Mikayla strolled in. "What is wrong?" I asked. "I have something to show you Nic." She said and

    Nicholson's POV "You acted rashly, like you always do when it comes to Thea." Callum said from his place by the corner of the room."She was contemplating leaving with him." I reminded him but he just looked at me flatly."Did she say she was the one reading those books?" He questioned."She denied it." I revealed."And do you have any evidence pointing that she was actually reading the book, except for the fact that it was placed on her reading table?" He probed."No." I admitted reluctantly."Then why are you so adamant to pin this on her?" Callum crossed his hands in front of him."Because I don't trust her." I growled."Why? She hasn't done anything to deserve your distrust." He pointed out and I knew his words were true.Amalthea had done absolutely nothing to make me distrust her."Have you for a second thought that maybe she was framed just like the last time with the werebears?" Callum quirked a brow at me.If I was being honest, the thought had crossed my mind but I had imme

    Amalthea's POV "I would have suggested a walk but the last time Nic saw us together he almost bit my head off." Alpha Sebastian chuckled, walking farther into the library."What do you want?" I asked him, resuming my position by the window side."I want to talk to you." He shrugged.I looked away from him and I wrapped my arms around myself."Have you thought about my proposition?" Sebastian broke the silence between us."Alpha-" I began."Seb. I told you already to drop the formalities." He interrupted me."Seb..." I began, looking at him pointedly."Why did you even want me? Why me?" I asked."Because you are pretty, you are smart and I can't help but feel drawn to you." He explained so casually like it was the easiest thing in the world."How can it be that easy for you?" I asked."It isn't, trust me but my pack needs a Luna and it doesn't hurt that I find you attractive." He revealed."If I accept, and that is a very big if, what happens when you find your fated mate?" I asked."

    Amalthea's POV I stormed out of my room and headed towards the library. I didn't care that I left Nic in my room, all I wanted was to put some distance between us.The nerve he had to accuse me of something I was totally clueless about.My hands clenched by my sides as I recalled the accusations he hauled at me.The man was so infuriating and it was almost as if he was constantly waiting for a chance to harass me, a chance to find fault and accuse me of things I knew nothing about.I banged open the library door and shut it behind me.I growled lowly, wishing I could hit something, anything...preferably Nicholson, to relieve the anger which I felt within me."I knew you'd come after a few minutes." Callum's voice startled me."You scared me Callum, what are you doing here?" I asked him as I placed my hand to my chest to calm my racing heart."I was waiting for you." He shrugged as though it was totally normal."How did you know I would come here?""Once Nic stormed to your room I kne

    Nicholson's POV Mikayla led Callum and I towards the library and no matter how much Callum tried to inquire what this was about, she remained tight-lipped."Why do you trust her so blindly?" Callum muttered to me as we walked a few steps behind Mikayla."Because she has proven herself valuable to me and this pack." I shrugged.Callum and Mikayla didn't like each other, it was no secret and they expressed it in the way they communicated whenever they were in the same space."My gut doesn't trust her." Callum told me, giving me a side glance."That's because you don't like her." I retorted."It's more than that...I can't place it now but there's just something about her." He continued and I rolled my eyes."Has she done anything to garner your suspicion?" I asked."Well no, but I trust my gut and my wolf Nic and none of them seem to like her." He explained."I won't tell you not to trust your gut, neither can I tell you your suspicions are valid. All I can say is that Mikayla is very v

    Nicholson's POV "The werebears sightings have significantly dropped but there are still a few lurking around." Callum informed me.Rather than being happy, I was skeptical.What were they planning?Why had they taken a step back? That meant they were up to something."Were you able to get the ones who are still lurking around to talk?" I asked."They kept on saying the same thing." He shook his head and I knew what he was talking about without him having to mention it.Amalthea...all they ever said was that they wanted her."What do you think they want from her?" Callum questioned.I had run through every possible scenario but none of them could explain how Amalthea could be linked to them."I don't know." I replied gruffly.I hated being in the dark, I hated this guessing game."But we have to find out." I continued."How will we possibly do that? The werebears are too loyal to their cause, they won't tell us anything." Callum reminded me."We'll find a way...we have to." I rubbed

    Amalthea's POV "Train your reflexes, you need to be sharp and you need to know exactly how to act without wasting much time on thoughts." Mikayla explained right before she sprung at me.My hands instinctively came up to shield my face but she changed course last minute and jabbed at my side.I grunted and took a step back before getting back into position."You need to think about what your opponent would possibly do and be ready to counter it at every moment. Watch them like a hawk." Mikayla said in-between jabs she threw at me. I tried my best to follow her advice and I was able to block some of her attacks."Let's take a break." She announced after a while.I immediately plopped onto the floor, grateful for a chance to rest as my lungs burned within me."You are getting better. Some more training will definitely do you good and with time you'll get a hang of it." She encouraged me and I gave her a small smile.I was really glad I was training under Mikayla despite my initial hesi

    Amalthea's POV I sprang away from Sebastian with the speed of lightning and to my absolute horror, it was Nicholson that stood in front of us with a murderous expression on his face.I gulped as his eyes looked from Sebastian to me.I opened my mouth to explain but no words were forthcoming.What could I possibly say to explain what was obviously about to happen?"Nic, we were just talking about you." Sebastian broke the awkward silence between us."Were you?" Nick furrowed a brow."I think Jade needs me." I muttered."I doubt it, she's with Callum." Nicholson cut in, blocking my only escape route."I was just telling Thea I am in search of my Luna." Sebastian announced and I wished the ground would open up and swallow me then and there."I thought you were here to finalize the peace pact between our packs?" Nicholson asked."Call it killing two birds with one stone. The opportunity revealed itself and I couldn't resist." Sebastian shrugged. How could he be so oblivious as not to no

    Amalthea's POV "I think Callum needs me." Jade announced, rising to her feet."What?" I looked at her in disbelief while she looked anywhere but at me."I'll see you later Thea." She said with a tight-lipped smile and zoomed out the door.Jade had just thrown me to the wolves."Your friend is very subtle." Alpha Sebastian muttered and I slowly faced him."Alpha Sebastian." I rose from my chair."Just Seb is fine." He retorted and I blanked.The use of his nickname would imply a level of intimacy between us."I don't think that would be proper Alpha." I pointed out."I insist." He replied with a smile.I nodded, not having a word to say in response, as the level of intensity in his eyes when he looked at me was making this whole conversation awkward. It's either he's oblivious to that fact or he simply doesn't care."Did you need a book?" I asked, breaking the silence."No." He answered."I wanted to talk to you." He announced.I blinked.He chuckled.

    Amalthea's POV "Where have you been?" I asked Jade when she walked into the library.She remained silent and leaned against the closed library door with a dreamy sigh as she clutched her chest."Jade?" I called out to her and slowly her eyes met mine. "Are you alright?" "I'm better than alright Thea." She composed herself and walked towards me."What has you in such a good mood?" I questioned."I'm always in a good mood." She replied almost defensively and I knew something was up."Hmm, where have you been? You were meant to be here an hour ago." I queried.A blush slowly crept up her face and my lips parted in shock."Jade, why are you blushing?" I shut the book in front of me and placed it on the side table."I'm not blushing." She muttered attempting to hide behind her hair."You are clearly blushing Jade. Spit it out, what happened?" I probbed.She remained silent and I waited."It's alright if you don't want to talk about it now, I just-" I began to explain."I met someone." S
