Getting to the room, she was relieved to see that the door was still open, and without hesitating, she ran into the room and closed the door while panting heavily."Where are you coming from?" A voice sounded from behind after she closed the door, causing her to freeze on the spot._______________________________Hearing the voice, Amelia could already tell that it was Alex's voice, and from the way he was sounding, she didn't need a fortune teller to know that he was angry."I'm listening," Alex's voice sounded once again as he switched on the light of the room from where he was, and Amelia slowly lifted her head and looked at him, and just as she had expected, he was really looking angry, and on seeing this, she swallowed hard.On seeing how angry he was, Amelia had thought of lying to him about where she had been, but she immediately changed her mind as she thought of Alex already knowing she had been and still asking in order to see if she would lie."I went to check on Adrian. So
Leaving Adrian's room, Jake went to the rooftop of the palace, where Alex was sitting while sipping the wine he was holding and manipulating his phone.Coming from behind, Jake started massaging Alex's shoulder, causing him to sigh heavily."Jake, that's enough; I'm not in the mood for a massage right now," Alex said to Jake as he shifted away from his huge and strong palms."Okay, if you say so," Jake said to Alex, and he walked towards the sofa that was opposite Alex and sat down."So what did he say?" Alex asked Jake, who was now pouring himself a drink."Well, he was asking if there was any means to cancel your mating ceremony with Amelia tomorrow," Jake said to Alex, who scoffed before shaking his head in disbelief."That son of a b*tch, I knew he wasn't going to take the news lightly. Throughout the whole dinner, he had pretended as if he wasn't angry about the mating ceremony, while in reality he was," Alex said to Jake before taking a sip of his wine."So what did you tell him
Getting to the front of Adrian's room, Amelia didn't even bother knocking before rushing into the room. Because of her doctor's instinct, she already considered whatever was happening to Adrian as an emergency on which she needed to act immediately before it got worse.Barging inside the room, she saw Adrian sprawled on the floor while writhing in pain and clutching his stomach, just as the maid had describd, and without hesitating, she rushed towards him and knelt beside him, trying to see what was wrong with him."Adrian, please, can you hear me, and can you also tell me what exactly is wrong with you so that I can know how to go about it?" Amelia asked Adrian with a panicked tone as she tried to stabilize him on the ground in order to see if she could find out what was wrong with him. Suddenly Adrian opened his eyes and looked around, and when he noticed that there was no one in the room except for him and Amelia, he immediately stopped wriggling in pain and cleared his throat bef
After dinner, Alex and Amelia retired to their room to get some rest against the following day, which was their mating ceremony.After discussing for a little while, Amelia, who was already feeling sleepy, was about to drift to sleep when Alex's phone suddenly started ringing, jolting her back up.Taking the phone, Alex checked the caller ID before sighing heavily and standing up from the bed."Hey, babe, try getting some sleep. I will be back in some minutes," Alex said to Amelia before kissing her on the forehead and walking ,out of the room with the ringing phone."Hey Tricksy, have you noticed that Alex is always acting like someone who is hiding something?" Amelia asked her wolf through their mind link."Are you sure of what you are saying? If not, I haven't noticed anything weird about him yet," Tricksy said to Amelia in reply."Well, that's because you haven't been paying attention; all you ever do is praise him as if he's the son of the moon goddess," Amelia said to Tricksy wh
Retiring to his room, Adrian couldn't bring himself to go to sleep no matter how hard he tried; he kept on rolling on the bed while thinking about Alex and Amelia's mating ceremony.When Alex had informed him that his mating ceremony with Amelia was going to take place the following day, he had pretended not to be affected by the news, but deep down he was the only one who knew how he felt after hearing the news.When Alex had informed him that Amelia was his mate, he had doubted it, and deep down he still believed that he had a chance of winning her back even though Alex was claiming that she was his mate, but on hearing that Alex was about to put his mark on her, the last piece of hope that he was holding on to shattered into many pieces.Now he would have to leave the rest of his life watching the only woman who he has truly loved, despite the fact that there wasn't a bond between them, being with his brother forever, and all this because of that damn Mara. Not only had she wasted
It was six PM in the palace, and everyone had gathered around the dining table to have dinner, including Adrian.Once everyone was present, some of the maids came out to dish out the meal for everyone, but they were immediately interrupted by Amelia, who volunteered to do it, and with that, the maids bowed their heads in respect before walking away.Without hesitating, Amelia dished out some of the meal for Alex and handed it to him, and afterwards she started dishing out that of Adrian."Sweetheart, whose food are you currently dishing out?" Alex asked Amelia, who turned and looked at him."That of Adrian," Amelia said to Alex, who smiled before looking at Adrian."Since you are his ex-mate, are you sure that he would want to eat food served by you? You should ask him that first because, as far as I know him, he's very good at holding grudges, so he might reject the food just because you are now with me and there's no way he can take you away from me," Alex said to Amelia before look
As he was making his way inside, he heard Alex screaming his name from behind, and with that he slowly turned only to receive the greatest shock of his life.____________________________Alex was walking towards Adrian with an angry facial expression while dragging behind him the guard Adrian had sent to follow him, and the guard was now all covered in blood.As he got closer, he pushed the guard towards Adrian, and at the same time he launched at Adrian, giving him a punch that made him lose balance as he fell to the ground with the guard falling on him in the process."You fool, how dare you?" Adrian growled angrily as he pushed the guard away, and stood and made to attack Alex but was immediately withheld by the guards who were around."You son of a b*tch, how dare you have me followed?" Alex growled angrily at Adrian as he made to attack him again, but the guards around were quick to hold him back."And why shouldn't I have you followed when every single thing you do is suspicious
Leaving Elder Patrick's house, Alex was no longer speeding as he used to do; instead, he was driving slowly, as he was determined to find the guard that Adrian had sent to have him followed.After driving around for some minutes, he finally noticed the car that had been trailing behind him, and from the plate number he could already tell that the car was from the palace.Seeing this, he smirked inwardly before driving into a street, and just as expected, the car slowly followed him from behind while maintaining its distance."Perfect," Alex muttered as he increased the car's speed, driving into another street, and without hesitating, the driver of the car that was also following him from behind did the same, but on getting to the street, he could no longer find Alex.As he was still looking around, trying to figure out where Alex had disappeared to, a crash suddenly came out of nowhere, crashing into him from behind and causing the driver's head to slam on the steering wheel.After th
Getting to the entrance of Elder Patrick's house, Alex placed a soft knock on the door and waited for the door to be opened.After some minutes, a young Omega who was probably one of the maids of the house came and opened the door, and on seeing Alex, she immediately prostrated herself in respect."Greetings, your Highness," the young Omega greeted Alex while bowing her head in respect."Yes, tell me, is your master around?" Alex asked the Omega with an inquisitive tone."Yes, Your Highness, he's around," the young Omega said to Alex with her head still bent down."Okay, can I come inside?" Alex asked her."Yes, of course, your Highness," the young Omega said to Adrian as she left the road for Alex, who walked inside, and with that she closed the door."Please have a seat; I will inform my master about your arrival," the young Omega said to Alex, who nodded in reply before sitting down on one of the sofas in the sitting room, and with that the young Omega headed upstairs to to inform
