*Amelia* "Tricksy, do you think that Alex is going to find it in his heart to forgive me for lying to him?" I asked Tricksy through our mind link as I was still deep inside the bathtub with my two eyes closed.It was something that I usually did when I was in the human world, so coming here and seeing a bathtub, I decided to do my usual routine, which is dipping myself in the water and staying inside for some minutes without breathing."Well, for someone to forgive you, the person has to be angry at you first, but in Alex's case, he isn't angry at you; he just can't trust you anymore because you lied to him, so I think the best thing to do is to find a way to gain his trust once again," Tricksy said to me, and at the same time, I came out from under the water and used my hand to scrub away the water on my face."And how am I supposed to do that?" I asked her with a confused tone."Well, I don't know; surely you will figure that out yourself. After all, you were the one who lost his t
*Amelia* Once I heard the knock on the door, I immediately pushed Adrian away, and without hesitating, I picked up the towel that was on the ground and used it to cover myself once again, and at the same time, the knock sounded once again."Adrian, you need to hide," I said to Adrian, who was now sitting on the bed as if nothing had happened."And why should I hide?" He asked me with a furrowed brow."Because my mate is back, what do you think will happen if he comes in and sees you here?" I asked him, but from his facial expression it was clear that he had no intention of hiding; he actually wanted Alex to come in and see him."Well, I'm not hiding, sweetheart; after all, we weren't doing anything wrong, or were we?" He asked me with a wicked smirk, and at the same time the knock resounded once again."A minute, please," I said loudly so that the person who was knocking could hear me."First of all, I'm not your sweetheart, so stop calling me that, and secondly, if Alex suspects any
*Amelia* Hot tears streamed down my cheeks as I stormed into the dimly lit bar, my heart pounding with fury. The man I’d been married to for two years, Adrian, was sitting there with another woman, his lips pressed against hers as if the world outside didn’t exist. Tonight was supposed to be our anniversary—a celebration of our love—yet here he was, entangled with someone else. I’d doubted my friend when she called to tell me she’d seen Adrian with another woman. I’d trusted him. But now, standing in the bar’s smoky haze, there was no denying the truth. Without hesitation, I marched toward him, my voice trembling with anger. “Adrian, what is going on here?” He froze, his lips still hovering close to hers, and turned to face me. His expression shifted from shock to guilt in an instant. “Amelia, what are you doing here?” he stammered as he stood, but my gaze had already shifted to the woman. When I saw her face, my breath caught in my throat. It was Mara, Adrian’s ex-mate. Th
*Amelia* "Adrian, you have to believe me, I..." My words faltered as Adrian stormed towards me, slapping me hard across the face. I stumbled, crashing to the ground, the sting of the blow still ringing in my ears. "How could you be this heartless and vicious?" His voice thundered with rage, dripping with anger and hatred as I sat there, tears streaming down my cheeks. This was the first time Adrian had raised his hand to me in our two years of marriage. And it was all because of Mara—his ex-mate. What hurt most was that he hadn’t even given me a chance to explain. Without hesitation, he slapped me and accused me. "You better pray nothing happens to her," he spat, his words like a cold knife to my heart. "If anything happens, you won’t like what I’ll do to you." He then turned his back on me, scooping Mara off the ground and leaving the room. As I sat there, the realization hit me like a punch to the gut. Adrian was still in love with Mara. No matter how much time had pass
*Amelia* "You are joking, right?" Adrian asked me, his tone filled with disbelief, as I threatened to divorce him if he forced me to give my blood to Mara, his ex-mate, who had accused me of stabbing her. "As much as I'd like to say I'm joking, unfortunately, I am not. It's either her or me. The choice is yours," I said firmly. Adrian stared at me for what felt like an eternity, his eyes narrowing before his lips curled into a sarcastic smile. "You think I don't know what you're doing? You're trying to blackmail me with a divorce. Well, let me make it clear—it won’t work on me," he snapped, his tone cold and unyielding. "You stabbed someone. And no matter your position in this pack, you're supposed to face the consequences. But here I am, sparing you from punishment by asking you to give her your blood so she can survive. Yet, you’re still being stubborn. Do you think I can’t punish you?" Adrian's voice grew angrier. A sad smile tugged at my lips as I looked at him. "Adrian,
*Five Years Later* **Amelia** The hum of New York City traffic filled the air as I drove along the bustling streets, heading to the university where I had spent the past five years pouring my heart into my studies. Today marked a monumental milestone—I was graduating as a medical doctor. It had taken relentless effort and commitment, but I had finally made it. After escaping the Moonstone Pack five years ago, I’d used my savings—hard-earned from my time as Luna—to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a doctor. This was a dream I’d once abandoned when Adrian chose me as his Luna, demanding my focus and sacrifice for the Pack. But none of it had mattered to him in the end. He cheated on me, discarded me for his ex-mate, and left me broken. Still, in that heartbreak, I found my freedom and reclaimed my dream. My hands gripped the steering wheel tightly as I navigated through the congested traffic, the weight of the day sinking in. This wasn’t just any graduation—it was a turni
**Amelia** Despite my request for him to reject me, his face betrayed no sign of anger. Instead, his calm expression suggested this was exactly what he had hoped for. A pang of hurt shot through my chest as he agreed so readily, without hesitation. I stood there, waiting for him to utter the words I feared. But instead, he reached out and gently stroked my cheek. The instant his fingers touched my skin, I stiffened. *So this is how the mate bond works,* I thought, feeling the intense pull of his presence, his scent overwhelming me. "So you really want me to reject you?" His voice was teasing, and I felt the space between us close as he took a step closer, lowering his head toward my cheek as if he was about to kiss me. I should’ve stopped him. I should’ve pushed him away, but I couldn’t. My heart hammered in my chest, and my body betrayed me, standing still, allowing him to do whatever he wanted. "You really smile well, mate," he murmured, his face inches from mine. Then, hi
**Amelia** Even though I had agreed to follow Dr. Alex Darlington, who was now my mate back home because of the party he organized, deep down I knew I wasn't going to follow him; I had only accepted in order to get him off my back. After collecting my certificate, I bade goodbye to Becky, who was busy discussing with some of her friends and taking selfies with them, and with that, I started heading to the exit while praying deep down that I wouldn't encounter Dr. Alex Darlington again because all I wanted to do was to go home and get some rest and to also think about what I was going to do next, whether to stick with Dr. Alex Darlington, who was now my mate, or whether to do to him the same thing I did with Adrian, which was escaping and going to somewhere very far where he would never find me. With these thoughts running through my mind, I walked out of the school and made my way to the parking lot, but immediately I got to the parking lot, I halted in my steps as I saw the last
*Amelia* Once I heard the knock on the door, I immediately pushed Adrian away, and without hesitating, I picked up the towel that was on the ground and used it to cover myself once again, and at the same time, the knock sounded once again."Adrian, you need to hide," I said to Adrian, who was now sitting on the bed as if nothing had happened."And why should I hide?"

Passionate moans and groans of pleasure could be heard, as a couple was busy having the best moment of their life.Suddenly the sound of a ringing tone filled the whole room interrupting their passionate moment."F*ck who the hell is that?" The man who was no other person that Dave asked Mara as he stopped sliding into her."I don't know, and why did you stop?" Mara asked him with a displeased tone."Go on and check who is calling, it might be an emergency," Dave said to her as he rolled off her before sitting up on the bed, and with that he took the pack of cigarette that was beside the bed and brought out a stick before lightening up and smoking it.Sighing heavily, Mara stood up from the bed and walked towards her handbag in which the phone was, and with that she brought out the phone and checked the caller ID which was her father."What the hell does he want this time around," she muttered angrily before sitting down on the bed and dropping the phone beside her without picking up

*Amelia* As I got into the palace with Alex memories of all the time I had spent in this palace came back playing in my head.Looking around, I could clearly see the surprised look written all over the faces of the maids who were around, especially the old ones. Among them were the ones who had the habit of spreading bad rumors about me and also gossiping about me back then when I was the Luna, and despite being aware of it, I never informed Adrian about it or tried to punish them because of it, and the reason why I did that was to avoid being tagged as the bad Luna who takes advantage of her power as the Luna to punish those under her. Despite that, I was still tagged as the bad Luna throughout the whole pack, and when Adrian accused me of stabbing Mara, it gave them the opportunity to make fun of me more as they saw that Adrian was no longer on my side.Even though I'm not going to stay long in this Pack before returning to the human world, I'm going to make sure that with the li
Amelia couldn't believe her eyes as Adrian rushed towards her and hugged her; she had thought that he was going to order for her arrest or maybe even attack her, but to her greatest surprise, he rushed towards her and hugged her as if they had been on good terms before she left the pack."Where the hell have you been? You don't know for how long I have been searching for you," Adrian whispered to Amelia, who was still standing motionless as he was hugging her."Hey, what the hell is wrong with you? Get your filthy hands off my mate," Alex growled angrily at Adrian as he yanked him off Amelia, and with that, he pulled Amelia behind, standing between both of them as he fumed in anger."Mate? You mean Amelia is your mate?" Adrian stammered with a surprised tone as he still couldn't believe his ears. "Yes, of course, or were you expecting her to be someone else rather than my mate?" Alex growled angrily at Adrian."Impossible, this can't be," Adrian muttered in disbelief, and with that,
*Amelia* I still can't believe that after all these years spent in the human world, I'm returning to Wolfenwood Pack, the same pack I had run away from five years ago.I know that I had promised myself never to return to Wolfenwood Pack again, but with Alex constantly pressuring me, I have no other choice but to accept to go back with him, and happily he had agreed with me that we will be back to the human world once the mating ceremony is over, so I won't have to worry about putting up with Adrian and Mara for a very long time.Concerning Adrian, I still don't know what he's going to do to me when he finally sees me, but one thing I'm sure about is that Alex isn't going to stand back and watch his brother hurt me, and also he had promised me that he was going to protect me and make sure nothing happens to me. For now, my main prayer is that he doesn't go back on his promise, especially after discovering my past relationship with his brother."Come on, Amelia, you worry a lot. Alex
It has been over a week since the event of Adrian discovering Mara's infidelity took place, and unlike the first week after the event took place, Adrian was no longer feeling downcast; he had even started assuming all his responsibilities as the Alpha just as before, giving Jake enough time to focus on finding Dave, Mara, and the former Luna Amelia.Meanwhile, Adrian was in his office going through some Pack-related documents when his office suddenly started ringing.Sighing heavily, he dropped the document he was going through before taking his phone to check who was calling.On seeing the caller ID, he furrowed his brows in surprise, and just in the twinkle of an eye, his surprised facial expression was replaced with an angry facial expression.After some minutes of hesitation, he finally picked up the call and placed the phone to his ear."Hello," he muttered after picking up the call, anger evident in his tone."Hello, big bro, how are you doing? It's really been a while." Alex's
After dropping off Erica at her house, I couldn't help but think about what she told me as I was driving back home.Even without her telling me, I have already known that sooner or later Alex was going to find out that I was formerly his stepbrother's mate, and just as Erica said, he is going to be angry when he finds out, which I also know, but before he finds out, I would have already informed him about it, but that still doesn't mean that I'm going to accept to follow him to his pack. Who knows what Adrian will do to me when he sets his eyes on me?As these thoughts were running through my mind, I spotted a car parked in front of my house as I was getting closer, and leaning on the car was someone who looked like Alex.At first I didn't want to believe that it was him since I couldn't see his face, and also the car was different from the one I always saw him driving, but when I got closer and the person leaning on the car turned around, that was when it became clear to me that it w
