After dropping off Gabriel and Kaylee, then Sammy and Theo, the whole cab ride home, Hudson remained silent, staring out the window the entire time. We finally made it to my cottage and walked down the pathway, still hushed.
I couldn’t take it anymore, I wanted to break the silence, but I had no idea what to say.
As we arrived at the door, Hudson turned to face me, ‘Are you okay?’
A nod, ‘I’m fine…’ I said in a questioning tone, wondering why he was being so weird.
He tucked my hair behind my ear and smiled faintly, ‘You should rest,’ he said before planting a kiss on my forehead and stepping back, ‘I’ll come get you in the morning before we head for the diner.’
As I watched him

~ A M E L I A ~I knew I could speak for all my friends when I said that we were all grateful to have the first and second period free. It was put in place for revision in the lead-up to our final exams, but we took it as an excuse to go out clubbing on a Thursday night. What a wild night it turned out to be.The plan was to have breakfast at the diner before heading to school together. Hudson and I were already running very late, and as tempted as we were to be even later… we were both starving. So I quickly got myself together and we headed to the diner.As soon as we entered, a random group of people cheered and whistled at me.‘It’s the girl that stood up to Betty!’ One of them called.That made a bunch of other people in the diner turn and star

~ E V E R E T T ~The morning air was much cooler than usual. It had rained for a couple of hours last night, but a few hours of sun had already dried up the ground, leaving the only evidence of rain in the refreshing, crisp air. Taking in a deep breath, filling my lungs with the chilled air, and enjoying the view of the lake. It was one of my favourite places to be. In the distance, I could hear steps approaching. Amelia.I could tell it was her immediately, not only because no one else ever comes to this side of the forest, and not even from the sound of her steps, but from her scent. A scent that was ingrained into my mind— floral and citrusy. Elegance and beauty with a twist and tang, it was a fitting scent for her. ‘You know,’ Amelia said in a subtle huff, ‘you could’ve just told me to pack my bag for a hike instead of sneaking a note into my pocket like a creep.’ A faint smirk peaked on one side of my mouth, I turned to face her, my arms crossed as I leaned against a tree, ‘

~ A M E L I A ~He pushed me.He pushed me……off a cliff! A CLIFF.That bastard. The second he pushed me, my heart sank to my stomach and felt like it was going to fall out of my rear with the amount of anxiety and fear that consumed me. I knew I should never have trusted him. I gasped loudly, not having time to process my impending death, but… There was no splat. Why was there no splat? My eyes were squeezed shut so tight, I thought my eyelids were going to rip. A few seconds passed, and enough courage grew within me, I peeled my eyes open and saw Everett gripping my forearms. He was smiling. That arsehole still had that smug smirk plastered all over his stupidly handsome face. If he hadn’t been preventing me from sudden death, I would slap him silly. I snarled, ‘What the fuck are you playing at?’ I yelled, ‘Pull me up!’Everett’s head tilted to the side, his smirk growing stronger with each second going by, as my distaste for him also grew, ‘Now, now, where would the fun in

~ A M E L I A ~The day before the full moon, everyone in the village was on edge about what may or may not come. All my friends were feeling extra agitated. The closer the full moon came, the more heightened their emotions and abilities were, edging closer to shifting, but not having access to do it at their own free will. It was devastating to see their struggle. I was even feeling the moon’s effect more in comparison to last month, as my eighteenth birthday was nearing. It only made me sympathise more with the rest of the pack, as what I felt was a mere fraction against everyone else.‘Can someone please tell me why we’re spending our Wednesday evening in the gym?’ Sammy huffed, sitting on the floor by the weights. Theo frowned, ‘I thought it would be a good idea for us to release some of the steam we’ve all got building up in us, and for us to hang out together.’Sammy’s eyes rounded, ‘Oh, babe!’ She hugged him tightly, ‘You’re too cute.’Kaylee and I rolled our eyes. Every We

~ A M E L I A ~Just like last month, the school sent all Year 13 students home at lunchtime in preparation for the full moon. The only issue this month was that we had no idea if there was anything worth preparing for. Myself, Sammy, Kaylee and Gabriel were by our lockers, gathering our things to head out. ‘Gabriel, do you know what’s going on tonight? As in, is the Full Moon Festival still happening?’ I asked, turning to face him on the other side of the hallway at his locker.He sighed, shutting his locker and leaning against it, ‘It is, but it’s a lot tamer than usual. Everyone is anxious and expecting the worst to happen again, so there won’t be as many food stalls or as much entertainment as last month.’ Kaylee turned her head briefly from her locker, ‘I’m still up for heading over there if you guys are?’Sammy agreed, and Gabriel would happily go wherever his mate was going. ‘Sure,’ I forced a slight smile.My heart ached. It wasn’t fair, this curse. Yet, knowing what I kno

~ A M E L I A ~‘I was going to ask you the same thing,’ Everett paced over and scanned the surrounding mess. His brow rose, and his eyes pierced right into mine, ‘Up to no good?’Narrowing my eyes at him, ‘In your eyes, always.’He scoffed and looked at the books surrounding my laptop. My heart palpitated, realising my laptop was still open with the article about the hospital fire.Don’t look. Don’t look. Do. Not. Look.Everett pulled a chair over and sat down next to me. He reached towards my laptop, making my stomach flip and heart race faster, and he picked up a book next to it, ‘Hmm… “The Alpha’s Roar”?’ he read the title of one of the children’s books and chuckled, ‘Why are you looking at books for children?’As he was still looking at the book, I closed my laptop shut and picked up another book, trying to act as casual as possible whilst steadying my racing heart, which he likely already noticed, ‘I want to learn more about the pack. The culture, the stories children grew up w

~ A M E L I A ~Damn it. I lost track of time.After Everett left me, I rummaged through all the books and picked a few to take home with me. As I was making my way back to my cottage, I checked my phone and I had multiple texts from each of my friends.HUDSON: It took longer than I thought to finish the research prep with my dad. Meet at the festival?SAMMY: Where are you? It’s almost 11 p.m.! KAYLEE: Do I need to come drag you out of that damn library myself? GABRIEL: The girls keep whining that you’re not here. Come and put me out of my misery. HUDSON: How are you not at the festival yet? I’m coming to get you. Shaking my head, laughing at all of them. I replied to Hudson. AMELIA: I’m just dropping off my things at mine. Need to change, then will head over soon. HUDSON: Oh, good, you’re alive! I was gonna walk, but Gabe and I are gonna drive to come get you now. Be there in 15-20.I didn’t bother protesting against it with him. He was too protective on a normal day, so I could

~ A M E L I A ~Tears were streaming down my face. Even with all the strength I had, it was nothing compared to the power that Andrew and Miles had against me, who had completed their werewolf transitions and had (almost) full access to their power. I was weak. Powerless. ‘Hurry up, Andrew, I want a go at her too,’ Miles huffed, gripping harder on my wrists. Andrew brushed his lips against mine and chuckled, ‘No way,’ he kissed my neck and moved up to my ear, whispering, ‘I’m going to savour every moment of this.’Choking out a cry, not loud enough for anyone to hear. I looked up at the sky and stared at the moon right above me. Moon Goddess… give me strength.As Andrew’s hand moved higher up my thigh, under my dress, a mere inch away from my underwear, I suddenly felt a wave of heat in me. Not a heat of desire like that, but a desire for power. A power that was suddenly flowing through my veins. ‘Let… go,’ I choked under Andrew’s grip on my throat. He chuckled, loosening his

~ E V E R E T T ~‘What the hell is going on?’ I asked in a panic as the candle flame began to burn more aggressively, melting the wax representing Amelia’s life force that much faster.Sybil watched the candle in amazement. ‘Her journey through the spirit world has been far too impactful on her body. She’s too weak.’‘No,’ I cooed as I looked back at the small amount of wax that remained of the candle. Squeezing Amelia’s hand, I looked at her and hoped she could hear me in her state of unconsciousness, ‘Listen to me. You are not dying, do you hear me? It’s not your time. It’s not your—‘The room became eerily chilled as the candle flame was snuffed out. I refused to turn around to confirm, hearing Sybil’s saddened sigh was confirmation enough. ‘No… Amelia,’ I cupped a hand on her cheek, ‘wake up. Wake up!’‘Alpha-son, she’s gone.’ Sybil stood and lowered her head, staring at the ground. She also looked heartbroken by this loss. Stepping away from Amelia and towards Sybil, I snapped,

~ A M E L I A ~Panic surged through me. My father’s demise… it was at the hands of his best friend? The Moon Goddess brought us to the time of the battle. As she did, all the magic it took to travel through time was taking a huge toll on my spiritual body. I collapsed to the ground and whimpered, ‘What’s happening to me?’Kneeling beside me, the Moon Goddess helped me up, ‘You don’t have much time, we need to send you back very soon.’I groaned, feeling myself lose the connection and hold I had still back in the land of the living, I couldn’t feel warmth… I couldn’t feel anything. ‘How much longer do I have?’‘Enough time to see this last glimpse into the past.’Holding myself up with all my remaining strength, I watched as the events played out. My father and his best friend were standing head to head under the starry night sky. Many members of the pack, especially the council members, were bearing witness to the fight, awaiting to see who would triumph. ‘Are you sure you want to

~ A M E L I A ~‘What happened after that? How did Draven become Alpha?’The Moon Goddess had brought me back to her moonflower garden, her hand on my back rubbing back and forth soothing me, ‘My dear, you’ve witnessed a lot, are you sure you don’t want to take a break?’I shook my head, ‘I don’t have time for a break! You said yourself that I’ve got a limited amount of time left back in the human world, I can’t waste it.’She nodded, ‘I know, but I can sense your pain and suffering, and things only get darker from here…’Swallowing thickly, I stood tall, ‘Show me.’‘Very well.’~ ~ ~ Following the events of the hospital fire, the next day was sombre. It wasn’t just the families who were directly involved in the fire who were grieving, it was the entire pack. They were all traumatised and scared for what was to come. The funerals for the newborns were held all together, the Alpha and Luna ensured that they were all treated with equal respect and care during the entire process, as we
The One True Alpha Chapter 126 ~ Yielding
~ A M E L I A ~It began to rain. First a trickle, then a complete downpour. The Alpha and Luna looked out to the rain, a perfect resemblance of their sorrow, and knew that they had no more time to waste. They had to say their final goodbyes to their daughter and commence with their plan before people became aware. When they had finally said their goodbyes, Kali had come to terms that she would not be the one to venture out to take their daughter to the person they’d hope would be the one and only person they could entrust to take her outside of the pack and to her new human family. In her state of only recently giving birth, her werewolf healing was depleting her energy, plus her sudden disappearance from the fire would raise suspicions. They had to take their next steps carefully and mindfully.Enzo sent Kali back to the hospital, where she would have to act as though she had lost her baby in that fire, along with all the other mothers who lost their babies. Such a foul and disgus

~ A M E L I A ~They arrived back at Rieka Manor, successfully unseen by anyone else. Enzo placed Kali gently on their bed and began to pace up and down the room, muttering to himself. ‘Enzo,’ she was almost hyperventilating, ‘my love, please talk to me! What is going on?’ Kali spoke quietly, trying not to awaken their baby, who had finally fallen asleep soundly, but concern was laced throughout her voice.Yet he didn’t stop pacing, deep in his thoughts, ‘It can’t be them… They wouldn’t… They couldn’t betray us like that!’‘Who?’He shook his head, ’No, no, no!’ He slammed his fist against the wall, shaking the entire room, ‘These bastards,’ he muttered through gritted teeth before sitting next to his mate and wrapping his arms around her, embracing the love of his life and their newborn daughter.‘My love, my Alpha,’ Kali continued to cry silently, ‘Please. Talk to me.’Enzo looked at his mate, holding her face softly as he wiped away her tears with his thumb, ‘My radiant Luna…’ he

~ A M E L I A ~Devastated was an understatement for how I felt, but I was not surprised at all. Those men had been stuck in traditions for so long they were blind to the facts that were right in front of them. That women wanted to show their strength and power, to prove that they are equally as powerful as they are. Yet these men just have to prove themselves to be the best. The Moon Goddess took me later in the day. The sun was slowly going down, dimming the light sky and introducing us to the upcoming night. We walked down the long hallways of the hospital, and the sterile aroma of my surroundings was hard to ignore. We finally made it to the private room that was dedicated to my birth mother, Kali. She was in her hospital bed, sitting up while holding her baby girl, me. With one finger, she bounced my small hand up and down until I clasped my tiny fist around her finger. ‘I can already sense that you’re a strong one, aren’t you, little wolf?’ Kali smiled. Even after giving bir

~ A M E L I A ~My expression faded. That was not going to be easy to get used to, but I nodded and followed her towards my birth parents’ manor. ‘Most of the pack is slumbering away, nursing their hangovers or resting in whichever ways they seem fit,’ the Moon Goddess informed me as we walked through the manor grounds and phased through the door to enter the home. ‘However, Alpha Enzo knew the importance of caring for the pack, and always prioritised his duties before anything else. So, as his mate rested in the hospital and was learning to nurse you, he was back to his duties. They were still recovering from a recent conflict they encountered with another enemy pack. I believe you’re already aware of some people of the Shadow pack?’I nodded as we phased through another set of doors. Inside the room was a grand table. Sitting around it were men, mostly middle-aged but some older and some younger, but a handful of them I recognised from the present day in the Silver Moon pack. It wa

~ A M E L I A ~A wave of dizziness hit me as I reopened my eyes and took in my surroundings. The Moon Goddess and I were no longer in her garden of moon flowers, but deep within a forest. It was so familiar, yet different all at once. In the distance was a gentle glow emitting from lanterns.‘Where are we?’ I asked.The Moon Goddess linked her arm with mine, holding me close to her, ‘We’re in the village of the Silver Moon pack…’ she began walking me towards the lights, where noise and music began to tickle my ears, ‘…18 years ago.’I froze in place and looked at her, ‘Before I was born?’She nodded, ‘In fact, the day I brought you back to is your birthday.’Drawing my gaze back towards where the noise grew, it sounded like there was a huge celebration going on. This was it, this was finally the time I was going to learn everything. I was going to learn the truth and finally be able to understand who I am. But, for some reason, I could not move.‘Are you sure you want to do this?’ T
The One True Alpha Chapter 123 ~ The Garden
~ A M E L I A ~It was so cold and dark…Where am I? What is going on?My eyes slowly peeled open, feeling the weight of my drowsiness, meeting the night sky above me. There was not a star to be seen, which was unusual for the Silver Moon pack. No matter where you are, you’d always be able to see stars at night. It was one of my favourite things about the pack. Scanning my surroundings briefly without moving my head, there were trees all around me. How did I end up in the forest? Where was I last? Pushing myself to sit up slowly, my head felt heavy as I tried to recall what happened. Everett had told me to come see him… The Alpha ambushed me… pain… so much pain…My lip quivered as I examined and patted down my entire body, but there wasn’t a cut to be seen.Am I dreaming? What the hell is going on?A rustle behind me caught my attention. Twirling onto all fours and pushing myself to stand, I felt too alert and concerned for what was out there. ‘Who’s there?’ I said sharply. No re
