Amalthea's POV "Well this is a room fit for a queen." Jade announced as she twirled around my new room. I had to admit the room was pretty big, bigger than my former room, and it was fit for royalty. Why had this room been locked away for so long?"Or a Luna." Jade continued and my heart dropped at her words as thoughts of Nic instantly flooded my mind. If only she knew how ironic her words were and where exactly I stood with Nic right now."Jade, he probably only moved me here because I'm his breeder." I pointed out as I plopped down onto my bed with a sigh...even the bed was softer and fluffier, I didn't know what Nic's agenda exactly was but at least I was benefiting from it."Don't do that Thea, I may not know what happened between you and Nic but it's obvious he's trying to make things right and this is just the start." She wiggled her brows at me.What if she was right and Nic actually wanted to make things right?But if that were the case why had he seemed so closed off when
Amalthea's POV "There are still so many places we haven't been to, come on Thea." Jade whined as we walked back towards the pack house."Jade, we've been to almost every store in this pack, I think that's enough shopping for one day." I muttered as I struggled to carry the bags in my hands without dropping them. Jade had woken up and had been in the mood to go on a shopping spree and of course I had been dragged along with her."You can never over do shopping, Thea, you have a lot to learn." She rolled her eyes at me as we walked into the pack house. There was much movement within the pack house as it seemed some sort of renovation was going on. "What's going on?" I asked Jade as we made our way into her room. Jade's room oozes of femininity in its baby pink colour and princess aesthetic, it fits Jade's personality and honestly I couldn't imagine her any other way."Probably Nic and Callum are up to something." She shrugged as I dropped
Nicholson's POV "I was surprised when Rose told me you summoned me." Callum announced as he strolled into my office."And why was that?" I asked as I leaned back into my chair."I'm usually the one seeking you out. It's good to see that my absence was noted and I was missed." Callum teased and I rolled my eyes at his dramatics."No one missed you Callum but your absence was noted." I looked at him pointedly."Where have you been when we have a pack to run?" I arched a brow at him."You seemed to have a lot going on. I thought you needed some space and that was what I was giving you." He shrugged as his eyes met mine and held in a challenge."A lot going on?" I asked."Ever since Thea's birthday you've been out of sorts." He noted."How exactly does this affect you being here for me as my beta and how we run the pack." I gritted out."As your beta you aren't supposed to hide things from me,you
Nicholson's POV I channeled all my pent up anger and frustration onto the punching bag. I groaned as I could feel my hands blister at the continuous punches I threw at the bag."You've been going at it for an hour, Nic. If you don't feel better by now, I doubt anything in this world can make you feel better." Mikayla called out to me as she walked into the ring.I didn't bother to reply to her but I stopped punching the bag as I tried to catch my breath."When last did I get the pleasure of seeing a sweaty Nicholson." Mikayla teased as her hands slowly caressed my back."I'm not in the mood Mikayla." I moved out of her reach and turned to face her."You are never in the mood Nic, you are always grumpy." She rolled her eyes as she looked down at my blistered knuckles."Come on, we have to treat that." She called out to me as she walked off, looking over her shoulder to ensure I was following."Are you going to k
Amalthea's POV "Think this through Thea." Nic stared at me with cold eyes."There is nothing to think through, I'm not accepting your rejection and there is nothing you can do to force me." I gritted out."Thea will you just-" Nic began."No Nic, you listen. You don't have any idea how it feels to have a mate and lose him, you have no idea what that kind of loss does to someone... especially when you thought you were in love." I cut him off."What are you talking about?" He stared at me in confusion."How do you think I came to be in your pack?" I retorted."Callum...bought you." His brows were creased in confusion"If only it were that simple." I scoffed."I had a mate and I was once a Luna of our pack." I began and I could see the shock registered in Nic's eyes although he tried to hide it."I was framed and accused of something I didn't do by my mate's sister who never really liked me. My m
Amalthea's POV A knock on my door startled me and my wolf perked up."I'm not in the mood Jade, can we just celebrate tomorrow?" I called out, cringing as my voice came out sore and raspy. I felt horrible for how I had snapped at Jade earlier but I wasn't in the right headspace now. I needed time to clear my head and process everything that had happened before I interacted with anyone else.There was no response at the door for a moment and I thought she had turned away, I would just have to make it up to her tomorrow."It isn't Jade." Nicholson's voice called out to me and my heart jerked. What was he doing here? Lux, my wolf, rose within me and began to whine. "Mate!!! He's here, he has come back for us." She said excitedly.She was calling out to her mate but I shut her out, closing the mindlink. I needed to be thinking clearly and she wouldn't help me do that. A small part of me wouldn't help but wonder if Lux was
