"Are you ready Amelia?" Isabel asked, watching as Amelia paced to and fro with deep thoughts going through her head."I'm fine Isabel, I'm just a little bit worried about a few things," she replied.Isabel frowned. "What few things Amelia? Don't tell me you're thinking of backing out now? Not after I stayed up all night packing my bags and preparing a goddamned speech! You better not annoy me missy," she hissed harshly and Amelia couldn't help but roll her eyes."Can you take a deep breath Isabel and stop overreacting? For goodness sake, I can't possible be thinking of backing out now, I've come too far already. I'm just trying to practice what it is I'm going to say to them at the fortress gate cause it's not like I can go there and tell them, Oh hi, I'm Amelia and I'm the Alpha's mate. They're never going to believe me and they could even chop my head off for lying to them," Amelia said causing Isabel to scoff.
"You know Amelia, I've always known you were a crazy person but what I didn't know was how crazy you actually were. How could you put our lives on the line like that? What if Adrian by chance doesn't end up remembering who we are? What are we gonna do then?" Isabel asked, as the realisation of where they sat finally dawned on her."We haven't even been here for ten minutes Isabel and you're already panicking? Is this how much of a scaredy cat you are? Listen Isa, there's no way Adrian won't remember us cause it hasn't even being that long since we met with him and the last thing you should be doing now is panicking cause that is exactly what that bastard wants. He thinks we're some weak girls that'll end up begging him for our freedom but no Isabel, we're not what he thinks we are. I don't know about you, but I'm not giving that bastard the right to call me weak," Amelia replied and Isabel could not believe her ears."It's not like I'm pan
"Well, look who we have here. If it isn't our darling Beta," Isabel drawled sarcastically as soon as she spotted Adrian's familiar figure walking towards their cell.Adrian rolled his eyes as soon as he recognised the familiar voice of Isabel. He had only met her once, but that one time alone was more than enough to know she would be a pain in the ass for him and unfortunately, he knew there was nothing he could do to get her away from him."As much as I'd like to tell you it's a pleasure seeing you again Isabel, I just can't bring myself to blurt out such a lie but I must say, prison suits you way more than I expected. You should really consider living here," Adrian replied and Isabel glared at him."I'd consider it if you join me you idiot!" she muttered under her breath but was audible for Adrian to hear her."You realise you're speaking to the only person that can get you
"Why are all the rooms in the place so freaking huge? How can an office and a bedroom literally be the same size? What the hell!" Isabel exclaimed as soon as she and Amelia walked into Adrian's office."Don't be so loud Isabel," Amelia reprimanded and Isabel quickly placed her hand over her mouth in realisation."Sorry, sorry," she whispered an apology with her eyes still scanning Adrian's office."Have a seat ladies," Adrian invites and both Amelia and Isabel take a seat opposite Adrian, who had a tired look on his face."I'm sorry I had to invite you both here by this time of the night. You're both probably wondering why I'd choose such a timing but I can assure you that it's for the best. I know you may be thinking that being in the fortress might mean you're safe but in all honesty, there's absolutely nothing safe about being here. Over here, they're eyes and ears everywhere and things aren't exactly as pretty as they se
"They'll kill her? Just because she's the Luna? What the actual fuck!" Isabel whisper yelled furiously as the mere thought alone baffled her."That's why I'm letting you know now that it's actually more dangerous than you think. The council members don't like their authority challenged and that is why they hate both Ryan and I. They'd rather put an Alpha that they can easily control on the seat than obey the one they'd like to believe is mentally unstable. Over the years, they've argued that Ryan should step down from his position as the Alpha because he isn't fit to be there but lucky for us, as much as they hate Ryan, they also fear him which is why they haven't achieved their aim so far," Adrian explained and Amelia scoffed."Isn't Ryan an only child and isn't the Alpha position more like a monarchy?" Amelia asked, wondering why they'd want to overthrow the only heir to the position.The position of the Alpha to the best of Amelia's knowledg
Is this Ryan's room?" Amelia asked as soon as both herself and Adrian walked into a large room that was located at the end of the hall and very much isolated."This is where everyone believes to be his room," Adrian replied, confusing Amelia."What do you mean this is where everyone believes to be his room? Does he stay somewhere else?" she asked."Not exactly Amelia. Remember I told you that all of Ryan's movement is being watched by the council. The only time he's not being watched is when he has to go into hiding and the only reason he isn't, is because, no one asides myself and Ivan knows where he is and they're all of the believe that he's here at the moment," Adrian replied and although Amelia was still confused, she decided against asking any questions and just waited till everything finally made sense."Come with me," Adrian instructed, leading Amelia towards what looked like a closet door."Why are we walking
"You left her in there all by herself and you're not even bothered? What the fuck is your problem?" Isabel yelled furiously, watching Adrian completely focused on his work and ignoring her presence.Isabel had woken up pretty earlier than usual due to being unfamiliar with the environment and after getting dressed, she had gone over to Amelia's room only to find out from one of the maids that Amelia did not spend the night in her room. At first, she had thought things were fine with Ryan and that Amelia ended up spending the night with him but when Adrian had nonchalantly told her that he had left her in the room with a very much crazy Ryan, she fumed."You can't keep ignoring me you idiot or do you prefer I raise my voice so loudly to the point where the stupid council you're so wary of, hear what it is I have to say and finally have a reason to overthrow that crazy son of a bitch you left alone with my friend," she threatened furiously, not bothering to f
Amelia sat quietly with her arms folded around her knees and her chin resting in between them. She stared lazily at Ryan with a small smile of satisfaction playing on her lips.She had honestly expected the absolute worst to happen the minute she let Adrian leave her here by herself and at first, things did seem to be going just the way she had expected but that was until Ryan suddenly recognised her and called out her name. She had thought it was all in her head until she heard Ryan's voice call out to her again, pleading that she ran out of the room and get as far away from him as possible.As expected, Amelia turned deaf ears to his words and did what any absolutely sane person wouldn't do. She moved closer to him and did the first thing that came to mind which was hugging him and getting that close to him made her realise that Ryan wasn't actually in his human form.The only part of his body that still looked human was his face but ot
