"And what is that?" Jeremy asked. "I want you to marry me," she said. For a moment, I honestly thought I'd heard her wrong. The morning breeze moved gently through the trees around the driveway, but none of us seemed to notice it. Jeremy stared at Claire, his brows drawn together as though he was waiting for her to laugh and admit that she'd been joking. She didn't. Instead, Claire smiled. "This is insane," Jeremy scoffed. "No, Jeremy. Insane would be thinking I came here without knowing exactly what I wanted." She chuckled and shook her head. "Oh myâŠ" Her eyes moved briefly to me before returning to him. "You marry me, and I keep quiet. You walk away from this deal, and I tell the council everything I know." She glanced at Marcus, then back at me. "Everything." Jeremy's jaw tightened. His gaze shifted toward the car. Eli was sitting inside, completely unaware of what was happening. He had hi
°Amyâs POV°Jeremy was the first to get off the car, and I followed suit, Eli still remained intact with his seatbelt.The woman stepped out of the car, and the moment I saw her face, my stomach dropped.Claire?I had not seen her since before my marriage to Jeremy, but I knew that face too well. I looked at Jeremy, and the way he had gone still told me he was thinking the same thing I was thinking.Claire shut her car door and glanced at the luggage beside Marcus's Mercedes. Her eyes moved to the back seat where Eli was waiting, then slowly returned to Jeremy.A smirk tugged at her one corner of her lips."On the run?" She asked as Jeremy stepped away from me to face her."You don't have to do this." he told her.Claire walked toward us, sliding her hands into the pockets of her white furry coat."I told you I was going to come back for you. You're going to pay dearly for choosing that whore over me.â She scoffed, âOh, you thought my father let it slide after you broke the alliance
°Amyâs POV°The noise woke me up before the sun had properly risen.At first, I thought one of the maids had come into the room by mistake. I kept my eyes closed, listening to the soft sounds around meâthe opening and closing of drawers, the rustle of clothes, the occasional dull thump against the marble tiled floor. It took me a few seconds to realize that the sounds were coming from our bedroom.I turned under the covers and opened my eyes.Jeremy stood beside the wardrobe as I faced his back, he was still dressed in yesterday's clothes. One of my dresses hung over his arm while he leaned into the wardrobe, searching through the clothes as though he had done it a hundred times before as an opened suitcase sat on the bed, already half-filled.I watched him for a moment, trying to understand what I was seeing."What are you doing?" I asked.He turned at the sound of my voice, and for a second there was something almost guilty in his expression. It disappeared quickly, replaced by the
°Amy's POV°I could barely stay calm.Jeremy's hand tightened around the steering wheel as he drove, his eyes fixed on the road. Neither of us had spoken since we'd left, and the silence between us had become so heavy that I found myself listening to the sound of the engine simply because I needed something to focus on.I kept looking at the time,then at the road, then at the time again."How far?" I asked, although I already knew the answer wouldn't be what I wanted to hear."Five minutes." He replied quickly."That's too long." I said as I let out a deep breath.His foot pressed harder on the accelerator, and I looked out of the car window as the trees blurred past us, five minutes had never felt so long in my life , every second we spent on the road was another second our son was alone in that house with people who had come looking for him.I panicked as my fingers dug into my palm."Amy.â He called as I looked at himâŠ.His eyes stayed on the road, but there was a tension in his fa
° Amy's POV°For several seconds, I simply stood there, staring at Jeremy.My husband.The man I had trusted with everything.... again.The man who had looked me in the eyes countless times and told me there was nothing to worry about.And all this time, he had known.He had known about me.He had known about Eli.He had known what would happen if anyone discovered the truth about us and he had said nothing.My eyes burned with tears.I shook my head slowly."No." I said, finding it hard to believe whatever my ears had just heard.Jeremy took a step toward me."Amyâ""Don't." I said, raising my right hand as he stopped, that single word seemed to hit him harder than anything else could have.I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to hold myself together."How long?" I asked.He didn't answer immediately and that hesitation was enoughâŠ.My heart sank."How long have you known?""Amy, I was trying to protect you.""How long?"He lowered his gaze."Since the night I saved Eli."I stared
° Jeremy's POV° What test?" Thomas leaned back. "Don't tell me you haven't been listening, Alpha Jeremy, a witch would be brought to tell their blood line." I stared at him. "No." I refused. "We can bring her here." "No." "If the blood is clean, this entire matter ends." Rowan said. "And if it isn't?" I asked. No one answered. Yeah they didn't need to, I already knew. My pulse began pounding in my ears. "You're suggesting testing my wife and my child?" "For the safety of the pack." Thomas replied, his presence was beginning to irritate me. I laughed bitterly. "The safety of the pack?" Rowan's face remained cold. "You know the law, Jeremy." I did. Everyone did. Forbidden wolves were not allowed to live within pack territory. They were considered dangerous, unnatural and out of balance. A threatâŠ.and the punishment for wolves of such kind had always been the same. Death. My hands slowly tightened into fists. "You don't know what you're talking about." I told th
°Amy's POV ° I didn't think it was a great idea to go to school, not that it wasn't a great idea, I didn't want to. Not after yesterday, Gia wouldn't stop tugging at my mind. âYou lustful thing, haven't you had a taste of him?!â I yelled at her, tugging at my hair, wishing that I could just pull
° Amy's POV.° Maybe he was right⊠maybe this was my sin. But then again, sins always leave a mark. The morning light didnât feel warm. It felt like judgmentâpeeking through the curtains, touching the bite on my collarbone, the bruises on my hips, and the fading flush still lingering on my che
°Amyâs POV°Jeremyâs hand on my ankle froze me in place. My stomach dropped, and my mind just went blank. He found me again. I couldnât even screamâI was stuck, like my body had given up.And then, in one fast blur, Christian was there.I barely saw him before his fist connected with Jeremyâs jaw.
°Jeremyâs POV°The hand on my shoulder was soft. Too soft. For half a second my chest caved in, hoping, begging. But when I turned, golden eyes werenât waiting for me.She wasnât Amy.The girl staring back was about my age. Red hair, bright, sharp eyes. Pretty in a way that made people look twice,
