AMIA

“Iris’s death is unforgivable,” Zand’s voice boomed over the gathered crowd.

She was a bright light that helped ease our days and brought a comforting joy to our lives.

Not a day should go by that we don’t remember her, but your anger should be on me.

As alpha, I should have seen her mental struggle.

I should have felt it as she edged closer and closer to the darkness.

I was too focused on my own goals, and I will never forgive myself for it.

Neither should any of you.

    EpilogueZAND Five Years Later"You think you're strong enough to take me?""I am your king."My threat only made them smile as they came toward me.To my horror, I took a step backward.For one terrible second, I wondered if I was actually going to surrender."You swore you would protect me at all costs," Amia said beside me.There was only the smallest tremble in her voice, but I heard it."Zand, please.""You got us into this mess," I growled."This is your fault."A pack of wolves howled somewhere behind us.The sound pulled my attention away for only a second.That was all my attackers needed.They rushed me with excited screams.Before I could react, they slammed into me and sent me over the edge.I hit the water flat on my back with a loud grunt.The cold water closed over me, and I sank like a stone.I turned around quickly, planted both feet against the ocean floor, and pushed myself upward.I broke through the surface just in time to see my two attackers flying toward me.T

    AMIA I narrowed my eyes at him."I sense a theme you're trying to prove."Fine.I'm loved.Everyone loves me.I'm a princess.With a soft chuckle, he gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind my ear.I nearly melted right there into his warm touch."You are loved.""And you are a princess, my princess.""But that's not my point.""I'm just reminding you that you aren't lost.""You've never been lost.""King Orion found you.""To use me," I grumbled under my breath.Maybe I still wasn't entirely over that part."But he didn't use you.""He loved you.""You become an omega, and he protected you.""What happened then?""The next stepping stone?"I placed a trembling hand flat on my belly."Mate and mother.""But you didn't feel loved.""The first transition you truly struggled with because I left you alone.""You're not lost, Amia.""You're mine."His heavy words dug deep into me, and I shivered against him.He was right, I was completely his.Closing my eyes tight, I focused inward o

    AMIA“How can I trust you? I feel like I barely know anything about you,” I whispered. “You kept so much from me.”“I did. And you did the same thing. So let me tell you everything I’ve been hiding. I’ll start with the first time I saw you.”Zand reached for my hand and held it gently.“It’s no secret that I came there to win over the Shadow Oak Alphas and find an omega. At the same time, I was doing everything I could to stay away from King Orion. I hadn’t had many chances to prove that he wouldn’t recognize my scent, so I was careful. I watched every move I made. I thought about every step before taking it.”He paused and looked at me.“Then I saw you.”His fingers tightened slightly around mine.“My wolf claimed you immediately. There was no arguing with it. You were calm, elegant, and beautiful. The only thing I wanted was to see you smile. I wanted to see that little spark in your eyes. I wanted to touch you.”“You did all of that,” I said with a small laugh. “And a little more.”

    AMIA "I didn’t know for sure how you felt when you ran off, but I could guess," he said, his voice dropping low as he looked down at me."King Orion taught you to wear a hard shell, but you’re so beautifully soft beneath it, Amia.""Victor was your father.""He was a monster in every sense of the word, but he was still your father.""Before I knew the truth of it all, I would look in the mirror and wonder if I was also a monster just like him.""I never wanted you to carry that fear or feel that way.""Do you want to know who you really are?" he continued, searching my eyes."You’re the most amazing omega I have ever met.""You’re the strongest wolf I have ever met, and you are the fiercest and most kind-hearted woman I have ever known.""Things have been done to you, Amia, but they don’t define who you are.""This box represents a part of your past.""The wolf inside of you is a part of you.""Your life with King Orion is a part of you, and your time with Victor is a part of you as

    AMIA Zand sat me on my bathroom counter and lifted my foot to examine it."I like the dress," he said quietly."It's my revenge dress.""No, it's not. You wore it because it reminded you of the dress I picked out for you for our ball. You wore it for me," he said cheerfully."I did not! What is wrong with you? Why are you so happy? I told you what would happen if you came to me again, and you did it anyway!"I tried to ignore the way my body reacted as his hands circled my ankles."Have you lost your mind?" he asked. "You never said that.""I didn't? Huh. It must have been in my head."His finger swept under my foot, and I inhaled sharply as pain shot through me.It was hardly anything, but he growled anyway."Besides, I wasn't coming to you," I said. "I was stopping two idiots from ruining the party I've spent night and day planning.""You still have a scar."He kneeled down to examine my foot and gently pulled a jagged piece of glass out of it."Are there others?"The cheerfulness

    AMIA One Week LaterI dressed in a red gown that clung tightly to my rounded belly.The cloth fell down my back and showed too much of my skin.It was not something I wore when I belonged to King Orion.I was free from him now and could wear whatever I pleased.Luna wore a blue dress that looked a lot like mine.Her hair sat high on her head, and a shiny gold chain hung on her chest.Her alphas gave her that gift.She danced with Zane and smiled with pure joy.They walked away together a short while ago, so I knew why she looked so happy.The celebration went well.Only fifty people came, but everyone had a good time.Seraphina looked pretty, and she and King Orion seemed very glad.One man was missing, and I checked the door as each minute passed.I tried to stop myself by dancing and smiling, but my eyes stayed on the entrance.It felt silly to care this much."Something wrong?" a wolf near me muttered.People were starting to notice me staring."Pregnancy hormones," I said with a
