“We are set to leave Beta Jamie.” A wolf suddenly announced from the side and Jamie nodded at him.“I'm beyond glad I met you here Valerie.” Jamie spoke and I gave him a shaky smile, knowing he'd be leaving and I have no idea how it'll be before I see him again.I looked towards the child sitting peacefully in his arms. He had his head relaxing on his father's shoulder, his eyes observing the stranger amongst his parents.I couldn't move forward to touch him. Afraid I may somehow hurt or harm him.I turned to find all the large crowd all walking a long line of vehicles.I could feel his eyes on me but it was hard to turn to face him.I swallowed. “Good bye Jamie.” I whispered, my voice breaking. He nodded once, shaking, folding his lips into his mouth.“We'll see you another time Valerie.” His mate said with a soft smile, stepping towards her mate.“It's good to know you're not alone here. Help's put my mind at ease.” He said, his eyes flickering behind me but my focus was on him.“I'
I yanked Jamie into a big hug, surprising both him and myself.His warm hands wrapped around my back.I was beyond happy one of us had life going really good for us.A loud ferocious growl suddenly filled the air causing me to jump.I pulled back from Jamie with wide eyes. Both our head's snapping towards the sound.The Alpha King stood rigidly in front of us. His eyes glaring daggers at Jamie like he wanted to burn him to aches.Jamie took a step back at the sight of the Alpha King glaring down at him like he stole something from the courtroom.Jamie's hand left mine like it had burned him.All wide and surprised eyes watched the King stand there and fight for full control against his wolf.Including the other Alpha's as they stared at him with worry. Except for Alpha Draco, he watched the King with raised eyebrows, his eyes squinting from me, back to the King.He closed his eyes sharply and when next he opened them, they were back to his normal honey brown.But he didn't stop glarin
Jamie! He was amongst the neighboring packs right? Was he going to just leave without seeing me? My heart clenched and ached. “Where's the court room?” I suddenly asked. “It's on the other side of the pack.” Danny replied, blinking at me. “I'll be right back.” I quickly said. I ran out of the Library, passing by a group of wolves walking in. I didn't know what I was about to do but my feelings were hurt that he was going to leave without trying to find me. I just wanted to see him one last time and tell him how much he meant to me. I never got to tell him how grateful I was. How much warmth I felt by just seating with him in silence back then. I ran. Trying to shake my memory to figure out where the pack hall was the last time Aria and Melanie took me there. I asked whoever I could find on the way and soon I was reaching the most magnificent and scary building I'd ever seen in my entire life. It stood tall and intimidating. It gave me a chill. Puffed breat
“He must have known this.” She added, her face in wonder. “Why was he still willing to go ahead with the mating ceremony if he knew this?’ her eyes scanned round the table in thought. The heat swelled and pumped. We all sat quietly after that. Everyone on our table looked tense and unsettled but I had a different problem right now. The heat in my back spread so fast like a tide wave and I bit into my lips to stop myself from crying out. A few other groups performed up the podium while the rest of the hall clapped. I inhaled sharply, pulling myself together before turning to speak with a smile. “I'll like to head back to my room now.” I whispered and Melanie and Aria turned to me. “Okay, I'll just–” Aria, it's just the room. It's not too far from here. I'll manage. I promise.” I was beyond used to being independent for as long as I could remember but I was beginning to feel strange about the fact that they didn't let me do anything here. I realized the very next day th
I hit my hands on Jamie's shoulder for him to put me down. Reluctantly he dropped me to the ground. The throat cleared again. Both our head's turned and Jamie's eyes widened. He looked back at me and back to the royal family of the Royal pack. He seemed stunned for a moment before he gathered himself. He bowed to greet everyone on the table and then his eyes scanned until they landed on the King and he flinched. I sucked in a breathe. His eyes they were flashing black and gold. His one hand were gripping the table tightly and the other was still gently holding on to the little child. His face blank. I don't think anyone did anything to piss him off just now. “Well, well, well.” I realized it'd been Melanie who'd been clearing her throat. “Who's this Valerie.” She clicked her lips mischievously. Her eyes looking him up and down. I shifted on my feet, all three women positioned attentively as awaited my answer. I looked up to Jamie who was still looked tense from the King's g
“W-what?” I nearly stumbled backwards. “He…seems unlike himself.” Luna Nymeria continued and I shook my head repeatedly. “Yeah I noticed that too.” Melanie nodded, stepping forward and now staring suspiciously at me. I couldn't believe what was happening. “N-nothings going on. I swear.” I felt like I was about to cry and I was certain I looked it too. “It's okay. I was just joking.” Melanie laughed. “You look like you've seen a ghost.” She held her stomach now cackling and drawing attention of onlookers to us. “Stop it you two.” Aria scolded, her tone dismissive. “Pay them no mind Valerie.” Aria offered me a smile while Luna Nymeria still watched on, unconvinced and Melanie was still recovering from her laugh. Soon we were all walking to the other side of the grounds that held what looked like a hall. The hall was beautifully decorated just like the outside was. I steared clear from Melanie and Luna Nymeria and walked alongside Aria instead. We reached a table that had names
