Amelia stood in the darkness, carefully looking around in confusion. She couldn't help but wonder how she got here but instead of screaming first, she preferred to look around to be sure her life wasn't in danger. "Hello? Is anyone here?" she muttered in a shaky tone as the realisation of her situation finally dawned on her. 'Why was she here? How did she get here and most importantly, what is this place?' she wondered to herself, trying as best as she could not to panic. She knew panicking would do nothing but put her in even more danger. "Can anyone hear me? Is someone here?" Amelia asked, this time raising her voice slightly just in case someone would hear her. When she realised that she was by herself, her mind started to panic and she took in deep breaths to keep herself from freaking out in fear. "You can do something Amelia, you can get out of here. This place isn't gonna mess up your mind," Amelia muttered to herself but as soon as she felt a strong wind hit her face an
Isabel and Amelia let out deep sighs simultaneously as they both stared into the sky to observe the stars. Isabel momentarily turns to look at her friend and she couldn't help but notice the dark circles under Amelia's eyes. "You're stressed, huh?" Isabel pointed out and Amelia smiled sadly. "I'm just so confused Isa. The last thing I wanted was to have to deal with something like this at this stage in my life and I thought I could just avoid it and move on but it's not stopping Isabel. I see him everywhere, in my dreams, when I wake up, when I'm about to go to bed, when I'm working, everywhere! He's the only thing on my mind at the moment," Amelia expressed in frustration, hating the fact that she just couldn't change her thoughts no matter how hard she tried. It was exactly how it was during her first dream. She couldn't stop thinking about him. Everything she did suddenly reminded her of him and the only thing she could think of relating to him were the sad expressions he alway
"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
