Chapter 4.

Amelia's POV

"Come back to Silver Moon Pack to attend my wedding tomorrow."

Five years later, I received my nightmare's mind link again. I have been living in the human world; I almost forgot I was a werewolf.

I can still receive a mind link from Silver Moon Pack. Maybe it's because I'm the daughter of their Alpha, a wolfless and banished biological daughter.

Thanks to my stepsister, I was pregnant with the stranger's baby, but I finally decided to have them, and I have to say it was the wisest decision I ever made.

I'm a designer, and I can happily raise my pups. I cherish what I have now.

Her groom will undoubtedly be Jax; she has been fighting me for him since childhood. And to get him, she even conspired to make me lose my virginity. When I think about that night, I feel like there are a thousand needles in my heart.

"I'm not coming to the Pack ever again." My answer was firm, and there was no persuasion after this.

She scoffed, her voice cold, "I knew you would say this, but don't you want your mother's things?"

I rolled my eyes at her mean tone, which was the truth about this vile woman. "You're still embracing your foul behavior?" I said, arching my brow. She could never change, but I didn't know my mother still had something left in the Pack.

"Trying to be mean, aren't we? So, do you want me to dispose of your mother's belongings?"

I froze for a while and finally gave in to her, "You'll see me at the wedding."

I heard her chuckling, "Very well, then. If I don't see you tomorrow, I'm going to burn everything associated with your mother."

As cruel and shameless as she was before, she wanted to show me off her victory, so she forced me to be there to witness her happiness.

That was why I was on the plane with my twins, snuggling on both sides. 

Ethan murmured something in his sleep, and Evie copied him, hidden telepathy between them. I caressed their cheeks and kissed them.

I had always wanted to protect them from the same fate I had to live through during my childhood. Even though both were never planned and resulted from Chantel's conspiracy, it had never made me love them any less.

'If I have to live without a mate my whole life, then I am ready as long as it protects my pups, I said to myself.

I released the breath I had been holding for so long as we got in the cars sent by Chantel to the Pack. It had been so long since I had been a member of the Silver Moon pack. My pups had no idea about this side of the world. They were born in the human world and never taught about the shifters.

They did not know anything about the wolves because I was wolfless.

Without a wolf, no one counted me in the shifters.

"Where are we, Mom?" Ethan asked, rubbing his eyes.

The fresh air of the Pack hit me across the face, and memories of my past flooded my mind. I had to close my eyes and call myself down as the images of my mother haunted me now.

It was the first time I had stepped into the Silver Moon Pack's territory since I had been banished, and the fresh air from the snowdrifts hit me. The memories of my past flooded my mind. I had to close my eyes and call myself down.

I smiled, "Sweetie, I told you about Aunt Chantel's wedding. We will go back after the wedding."

The maids recognized me instantly, and some of them smiled while the others made faces of disgust. The Pack was decorated, and so many young pups were running and playing with each other. No one had a parent looking after them since the Pack was the safest place for the young, unlike the human world.

Ethan and Evie giggled when they saw a few kids running around and trying to catch each other without any worry in their minds.

"Ethan! Catch me if you can!" Evie screamed at the top of her lungs and lunged forward to the playground as Ethan ran after her.

I tried to stop them, but a familiar voice stopped me. I turned around and saw Jax walking toward me, hearing that he had become the Pack's Beta.

"How are you doing?" Jax still looked at me as fondly as ever, as if he had never rejected me.

"I'm fine, but shouldn't you be getting ready as the wedding's groom now?" I avoided his eyes and questioned him.

He tried to stroke my soft hair as he did in; we were not, but I avoided him, and his hand stayed awkwardly in midair.

He withdrew his hand, coughed to hide his embarrassment, and explained, "I'm not Chantel's groom."

I was shocked that Jax wasn't Chantel's groom. As Jax was about to say something else, I glanced at my kid's direction. I saw them colliding with a huge man.

I frowned when I noticed the man intently looking at my kids. He ran his hand over Ethan's hair. I immediately went to the kids, but the man was already gone before I could get there.

"Ouch, Mommy. He plucked my hair," Ethan said.

Something didn't sit well with me, so I checked his hair, but everything seemed fine. He was a weird man staring at both of my pups with attention.

"You both need to stay around me. It's not safe playing here alone because no one knows you are my kids yet."

I walked Ethan and Evie toward the wedding hall, ignoring Jax, who was staring at us with hot eyes behind me.

I felt nervous and uncomfortable when I saw the guests queueing to enter the wedding hall. After all the bad things she had done to me, Chantel was about to have a wonderful life ahead.

"Let's go. The wedding proceedings just started."

The glamorous opening of the hall made everyone turn around and be mesmerized by Chantel's efforts.

Chantel wanted the best out of everything to feel superior to others.

"She looks so beautiful, and she will be Luna to all werewolves soon, not just the Silver Moon Pack," someone murmured.

Why did she become Luna to all the werewolves? Who's going to make Chantel give up Jax as her groom? I have a lot of questions in my mind.

Suddenly, I felt Ethan shaking my arm to get my attention. I bent down to his height and raised my brow at him.

"Why does he look like me? We have the same eyes, Mommy," he said, pointing his tiny finger at the wedding stage. I followed his little finger and saw the man who would be my stepsister's husband.
