"What are you doing here?" They both froze on hearing the familiar voice. Hell! How did they not smell him? Rieka and Ralph stared wide eyes at each other, knowing they've been caught. They turned around slowly, sighting him standing by the door, leaning against it. "Alpha king." They bowed their head, looking down at their feets. They were caught red-handed. Sebastian walked into the library with his hands crossed behind him, standing close to them. "What were you two doing?" His brows knitted into a frown as he stared at the old brown book on the table. "Alpha... We were... Just.." Rieka twisted her fingers together, stuttering helplessly. God! Why were they so careless? But it wasn't their fault, he hid his scent. Damn! What is she going to tell him? "We're really sorry alpha king. We shouldn't have come here in the first place." Ralph apologize calmly. He was obviously the one who wasn't really bothered about the alpha king, finding about it. Sebastian stared at them for a
"Yes, that's great!" Amelia smiled, her eyes lit in excitement. That would be nice. It's just like a free treat. Her first here in the pack. "I'm happy you like it." Aviana beamed, her face full of smiles. "Yeah, and I'm happy you're really nice and friendly." Amelia complimented with a warm smile on her face. "Oh, thank you." Ana smiled, completely flattered. "Okay, so when is it going to be?" Amelia asked, unable to hide the curiousity lingering in her voice. "Uhhh.... I don't really know but anytime I'm really free, like less busy. I'll tell you immediately." "Okay, I'll keep that in mind." Amelia swayed from one foot to another giddily. "Erm, I.." Ana paused when she heard someone call her. "Ana, you're needed at the-" "Okay, okay! I'll be there." She yelled back before turning back to Amelia. "See? I gotta go." "Yeah, bye friend." Amelia waved at her. "Okay bye." Ana gave one last smile before she left, heading back to the castle. "Amelia?" Amelia turned around when sh
Amelia let out a small gasp, her eyes wide open in shock. She stayed frozen for a few seconds before disengaged her lips from his and shook her head a little starting to get up. "Uhm.... I.. sorry... I'm... I'm... I'm sorry!" Amelia apologized quickly before scurrying off. Running all the way to her room. She rushes into her room and bolts the door, resting her hand on it as she pants heavily. What the hell was that? Amelia moves away from the door and walked into the room, sitting on the bed. It was an accident. Yes! An accident. But how was an accidental kiss suppose to ignite feelings in her. Weird foreign feelings. Why was she almost longing for the kiss to continue? That big frowny face guy must surely have something that might be drawing her to him. It must be charm. Because she hasn't felt this way for any other person. No one has ever woken such feelings in her. Feelings that comes like a tornado. She shook her head to get rid of those thoughts and stood up fr the bed hea
"I want it." Amelia let out a loud gasp, staring at the little girl in shock. Did she just hear her speak? Amelia shook her head lightly, asking. "Did you just say something?" She stared wide eyed at her. "Say something." She urged when the girl only looked down at her fingers. Amelia blinked her eyes repeatedly, still in shock. "Hey." She called, trying to make her respond. Amelia heaved out a deep breath when the girl only wiggled, trying to get down. Amelia dropped her to the ground and she scurried off quickly before she could say a word. Amelia stood there, rooted to the ground for a few minutes before she shook her head and walked out of the garden. "Is there anything I can help with?" Amelia asked as she walked into the kitchen. "Oh, nothing dear child. You've done a lot today." Loretta declined with a warm smile. "Besides, you need to take a rest, before the seamstresses comes with clothes for you." Loretta added. "Seamstresses?" Amelia brows raised in confusion as she
"What's in that bag?" Amelia asked, pointing at the bag laying on the ground. They had successfully chosen a suitable dress and mask for the festival and were preparing to leave. "Oh that! Oh my god. We almost forgot one important thing." Kalani rushed to bring the bag. "These are shoes." "Oh my god. I can't believe we forgot about that." Rieka brows raised in surprise. "Come on, bring it. Let's check it out." Kalani brought the bag to the bed, bringing out some of the shoes. "That." Amelia pointed at one. "Let me see it. It's so perfect." She smiled up at Rieka. "It suits the dress perfectly." She stared at the light yellow glittery shoe in her hand. She took it to her leg and wore it, smiling as it fit perfectly. "I'll take this. Thank you for your time." "Yeah, you're welcome." Kalani answered, putting the rest of the shoes into the box, with the help of Mirabel before they both took their bags and exited the room. "Woof!" Rieka plopped down to the bed, letting out a tired sig
"I don't think he knows yet." Ralph turned around sharply when he heard Rieka speak behind. "What?" He furrowed his brows in confusion. "I was thinking this over the night. The alpha doesn't know yet. He doesn't know Amelia is Lupe." She explained further, staring up at him. Ralph stared around cautiously before he grabbed her wrist, pulling her to a secluded area. "What do you mean? And how did you know this?" "It's obvious Ralph, if he already found out she's Lupe he wouldn't act the way he's behaving to her. And you know? Treat her that way. Also distancing himself from her." She explained, whisper yelling. "Besides, we all know how he treated Lupe. He was always close to her, like she was the very oxygen he breathes. If he already found out she's Lupe, he would have changed." "But what about that time he caught us in the library." Ralph pointed out, staring at her unsurely. "He must've known." "Maybe, maybe not." Rieka waved her hands dismissively. "But just think about. If
"I spoke with Hector yesterday." Gregory announced as he sat opposite Derek in the bright office. "Did he agree?" Derek asked, taking the tip of the lit cigarette to his mouth. "Yes he did." Gregory confirmed. "Great, so very soon I should be getting news that the alpha's new mate is dead right?" "Yes." Gregory answered in contrary to what was in his mind. He knew Hector wouldn't agree just like that without benefitting anything from it. He hates the alpha yes, but he wouldn't just take orders like that. He would only do something that would benefit him positively. Yes, he was a desperate and would go at any length to have what he wants, but he's also a skilled manipulator. Deep down Gregory knew Hector had other plans in mind and Derek wouldn't like them. He'd wait till the festival is over to hear any news. He's sure he'd hear one and Hector would definitely be behind it. "You can leave." Derek ordered, waving his hands dismissively at him. Gregory gave a quick nod after he
"How dare you try to poison me?" Amelia gasped holding his hands as all air cut out of her lungs. "Stop." She whimpered with eyes widened in fear and terror. Sebastian released her and held her shoulders slamming her hard against the wall. "No!" Rieka screamed, her eyes widened in pure fright. "No." She whimpered and hurriedly turned around the ballroom searching for Ralph. Oh shit! He wasn't in the room. She stared around the room one last time and rushed out in search for Ralph. He was the only one that can help now. The entire hall gasped when he slammed against the wall again, this time harder than the first. The crowds let out another gasp as he raised his hands in the air, his fangs stretching out, ready to strike her. But in the blink of an eye he was pushed away from her with a great force, landing on the other side of the room. Amelia let out repeated short breaths, dropping to the ground as she stared at the phoenix king standing a few meters from the alpha king. "Stay o
