~ A M E L I A ~Run. Run. RUN!Don’t stop. Can’t stop. Do not stop.I was already breathless, panting like crazy. My stupid anxiety was pulsing through me, slowing me down. I could still feel the touch of Alpha Adryan’s hands on me, the image of him licking his lips, looking like I was his next conquest because, for him, I was. He was hunting me.They were chasing after me, and I could feel it. If they weren’t yet, they would be. From how Everett behaved, he seemed reluctant to want to get into any conflict, which only tells me how much danger I would truly be in if Adryan got his hands on me. Tired. I’m so tired.No, I couldn’t stop, if I did— I couldn’t think about it. I had to focus. Focus. Focus on his words… Everett’s words.When you have a chance, you run… don’t look back. You just run. His ethereal voice echoed in my mind and kept my anxious belly at bay. Run, Amelia. Run. Sprinting with all my strength, as fast as I could. Damn it, why did I run so much before? The exh

~ A M E L I A ~When I said nothing, Adryan released my neck, moving hair from my face as he gave me a cruel smile, ‘Mmm…’ he dragged his lips across my neck, ‘Should I mark you?’ He licked my neck, groaning again after having a little taste of me. I shuddered at the sensation, my body was trembling hard even under his tight grip, ‘M-Mark me…?’He snickered as he brought his lips to my ear and whispered, ‘Then you’ll be mine forever, would you like that?’A cocktail of fear and rage broke free, lifting my head, I bit his ear as hard as I could. He yelled and pulled back, but not far enough, ‘You bitch!’ ‘I will never be yours, you disgusting bastard!’ I spat. Retaking hold of my neck, he squeezed tightly and growled a growl so deep it rattled to my core. My body froze. He sounded just like the wolf in my nightmare. How the hell was that possible? I couldn’t move. I couldn’t breathe. Help me, please!Squeaking in pain, gasping for air as Adryan’s grip held strong against my neck

~ A M E L I A ~Every fibre of my body twinged and throbbed as I came back into consciousness. As my awareness drew to my heavy breathing, I realised how much it even hurt to breathe; it hurt to do anything. Where am I?I jolted to sit up as I gasped, trying not to wince at that aggressively pulsing movement. My eyes flashed open to scan my surroundings. I was… home, in my living room, on my sofa with a blanket over me. How did I get here?Throwing the blanket off my legs, I saw the harsh bruising around my ankles, a reminder of Adryan’s restrictive power over me, preventing me from running away from him. Scanning my body further, I saw more scrapes and bruises along my thighs, my waist and my arms. My throat felt dry and achy like I’d been screaming endlessly for days and days. Even just trying to swallow was enough to make me croak in pain. I grimaced, gripping my shoulder after trying to move my right arm to touch my bruises. Even though I could move it now, my wolf healing had

~ A M E L I A ~Everett crossed his arms with a slightly displeased expression. ‘You sound shocked.’ ‘No! I just mean, uh, I didn’t know that you could because…’ I bit my lip, not even knowing how to finish my sentence. He raised a brow, ‘Because I live in a huge manor with chefs and servants who do everything I ask?’ Shaking his head, he scoffed, ‘You do think so little of me, you think I’m just a spoilt heir to the throne.’My cheeks heated, ‘No, I didn’t mean—‘Taking a seat next to me, ‘I could’ve been,’ he said soothingly, moving my hair out of my face, ‘but I was always too curious growing up, I wanted to learn the roles for everyone in my life. I followed my mother around while she did her duties as the Luna, and obviously, I followed my father around, too, but I also loved spending time in the kitchen with our chef, the gardener, and all the other workers in my home. I found joy in learning every element in my life.’Hearing him talk so genuinely about himself, about the thi

~ A M E L I A ~Everett scoffed as I continued to clean his wound, ‘Yeah, well, that’s where fiction comes into play anyway.’Jerking my brow up, still focusing on the gashes in his arm, ‘Oh?’ ‘Love stories like that don’t happen in real life, especially for us werewolves.’I stopped and looked at him, ‘Do you really believe that?’A shrug, ‘I don’t know what I believe in when it comes to love. All I do know is that the Moon Goddess will pick the right mate for me.’‘What if she picks someone you hate?’ I asked, dipping the towel in the water and ringing it out before shuffling closer to wipe away the dried blood spread across his arm. ‘She won’t,’ he said steadily.‘You don’t know that!’ My hatred for the mate bond and the conflict it had caused me broke through, ‘What if you fall for someone before you find your mate? Would you still go for your mate even when you care for and love someone else?’ Tilting his head, Everett narrowed his eyes at me, ‘Are we talking about me or you?’

~ A M E L I A ~‘Aren’t you going to get that?’ Everett asked. I shook my head, ‘No, it’s okay, it’s just Hudson. We’re meant to be hanging out today, watching movies and stuff. He’s probably just calling to let me know he’s on his way.’Everett cleared his throat, ‘Oh, okay, well, I guess that’s my cue to go,’ he spoke quickly and stood up just as fast before walking towards the door. Confused, I stuttered, ‘Wait!’ Shooting up to my feet and wincing loudly at the pain in my ankles. In an instant, Everett was at my side, holding my waist, keeping me from falling. He shook his head, ‘You need to rest.’Feeling dizzy from standing up too quickly, I mumbled, ‘But… But I have more questions.’He huffed a soft scoff, ‘Maybe another day if I’m feeling generous,’ he helped me rest against the armrest of the sofa. He held my chin and scanned my face, ‘How are you feeling?’‘Better,’ I tried to smile, but I felt so weak that I doubted it even came through, ‘the food helped.’ I peered down a

~ E V E R E T T ~Shit. I had to get out of here. There was no doubt in me that Gabriel had told Hudson what I told him yesterday morning. The two of them were best friends, after all, and both were overly protective over Amelia. I hid out of Hudson’s line of vision as he spoke to Amelia, ‘You seem surprised to see me, am I early? We said 1 p.m., right?’Amelia’s cheeks were flushed with that rosy hue I enjoyed inflicting on her, but even though I was partially the reason for the warmth in her cheeks, I think her blushing was for another reason. A conflicting reason… or maybe that was me thinking there was more to the moment we almost shared. ‘No, no, we did!’ She said, her voice squeaked, echoing her essence of uneasiness, ‘I just didn’t realise the time,’ she turned her head to look at the clock in the kitchen, then locked eyes with me. I could hear her heartbeat flutter. Her eyes were glazed with… sorrow. Not for me, but for Hudson, because of what she was about to do with me.

~ A M E L I A ~Shopping was the last thing I wanted to do right now, but I promised Sammy and Kaylee. We had all decided to go check out the dresses at a boutique called Silver Style, the best place to shop for all things designer and fabulous to try on for the masquerade ball. It was the same boutique where Hudson’s mother’s stylist picked out dresses for me for the formal dinner at the Shaw Manor, which was happening tomorrow. I was still hesitant about whether I should go or not, considering my plan to break up with Hudson, and especially because I didn’t want to see Everett. The dresses the stylist had organised to be sent to my home were beautiful, but with my fluctuating weight, I had to send them back to try on different sizes. I was annoyed about how grateful I was that Everett had helped me gain the weight back that I’d lost over the past few months. It was another conflicting feeling to add to the mess in my mind. To my surprise, I managed to pick a dress for the Masque

~ A M E L I A ~Smiling, I parted ways with my mate and walked towards the group. They all instantly fell silent as they laid eyes on me, uttering different words and bowing to me. ‘Hello,’ I smiled at the girl I desired to speak to, ‘you’re Suki, right?’Wide-eyed, Suki struggled to speak at first until the man next to her nudged her arm gently, ‘Y-Yes!’ She bowed, ‘It’s a pleasure to meet you, Alpha Amaris.’ Coming to a stand, and gesturing towards the man and spoke speedily, ‘This is my father, Machiavelli Twyla, Beta wolf of the Moonstone pack.’He bowed his head, ‘A pleasure to meet you, Alpha Amaris.’I tittered, ‘I’m still not used to that.’ Looking down at her drink, I noticed it was empty. ‘Come, let’s get you a refill. I could do with a drink myself.’ I looped my arm with hers and guided her towards the bar. She exhaled and whispered, ‘Thank you, it was almost suffocating being there,’ she picked up another flute of champagne and sipped it. I watched her, almost feeling c

~ A M E L I A ~A large smile grew on his face, ‘I love you too,’ he said before kissing me with even more passion. Everett traced his lips against my cheek, planting a kiss as he moved closer towards my neck once again. My breathing stuttered with every move of his. He planted another kiss on my neck before gently dragging his teeth against my flesh, taunting me and making me crave him more.‘Ev… stop… teasing,’ I said, struggling to breathe as I spoke. He chuckled against my skin, ‘I can’t help it, darling, it’s just too much fun.’ He sighed and lifted himself to meet my gaze again, ‘I promise you, I will mark you, but just not today. Today is your Ascension Ceremony; it’s an important and memorable day for you. Completing our bond should be a separate thing, what do you think?’I smiled, intertwining my fingers behind his neck, ‘I think that is a great idea.’ Ev looked pleased and pecked my lips. ‘Besides,’ I added, ‘you probably should meet my adoptive parents before we complete
The One True Alpha Epilogue (Part 1/3)
~ A M E L I A ~With the curse finally being lifted, the people of the Silver Moon pack celebrated for three days straight, immediately after the Battle for Alpha ended, and I was deemed the new leader, the youngest Alpha leader ever in the entire history of the pack, claiming that title from my birth father. I thought and hoped he would’ve been proud that it was me who took that title. Truthfully, I’d expected more backlash for my rise from being essentially rankless to then becoming Alpha, but it seemed that the people of Silver Moon had the utmost respect for my birth parents, as well as gaining respect for me for saving them from the dreaded 18-year curse. The people of the pack were able to enjoy the freedom of having their powers back. I, however, had no chance to embrace my powers or even try shifting yet. There was too much to do, and I had no time to rest, not yet.Moving arrangements for one—I was now the Alpha, and moving back home with my adoptive parents was no longer a

~ A M E L I A ~I looked at the guards, ‘Please ensure Draven doesn’t try anything stupid.’With that, I sped through the forest, not realising how tame my wolf speed was before gaining access to my full power. It was a level I could not even fathom to explain. Magical? Fantastic? Out of this world? Yes, all of the above. My nose locked in on her scent swiftly, it was as if I could physically see her just through her scent. She was running back towards the pack, but she wasn’t going to make it. All of my senses were locked on her. I could smell the fear in her sweat and hear the panic in her panting breath. I slowed my pace and moved around enough to make her struggle to decipher where exactly I was coming from, only making her panic more as I moved in closer, finally being able to see her with my eyes. She came to a halt suddenly, frantically searching around, and when she went to move off again, I was there, standing right in front of her. ‘Going somewhere, Yurena?’ I stepped fo

~ A M E L I A ~ His voice was as clear as day in my mind, yet part of me felt like it was all a dream. Yet it wasn’t a dream. It was real, but it was about to turn into a nightmare when my attention was brought to Draven and the dagger in his hand as he pulled back, ready to plunge it into his son’s heart. With more speed than I had ever been able to harness before, I flashed towards them, leaping onto Draven’s back and swinging myself to the side to throw him off and send him skidding away. ‘Everett, Everett!’ I said in a panic, dragging my hands across his chest to check for any wounds. He groaned as he sat up, ‘I’m okay, I’m okay… just weak from the wolfsbane.’ He placed his hand over the stab wound in his stomach to stop it from bleeding, and with his free hand, he placed it on my cheek, looking deep into my eyes, ‘Amelia.’ With tear-stained eyes, I smiled and placed my hand on top of his, ‘Everett.’‘How dare you!’ Draven hissed as he came to a stand and walked slowly back t

~ A M E L I A ~‘No!’ I groaned and shoved my heels in the dirt before I hauled myself down towards the ground, using his weight to bring him down too. As he was above me, I used my legs to throw him to my side before bolting away from the cliff. By this point, I had used too much of my wolf speed and was struggling to lock into it fully. I needed full access to my wolf side. Draven sped after me, though he was also worn out; he still had full access to his power, which gave him that advantage. He hurtled himself at me, tackling me to stumble and fall into the bushes. A twist and crack of my ankle made me wail out in pain. I couldn’t see my friends, but I knew they were on edge watching the scene before them. Hudson and Everett both were likely fighting every urge within them not to get involved. They knew if they did, the challenge would become void, and I would lose instantly. They believed in me enough to fight this on my own. I’ve got this. I can do this!Pinning me down, Drav
The One True Alpha Chapter 132 ~ The Battle for Alpha (Part 3/4)
~ A M E L I A ~Within those first few seconds, I knew that his fighting tactics differed from Everett’s—where he would wait for his opponent to come for him to then take them down, Draven was a head-on type of fighter. That only made him more unpredictable for me and lowered any advantage I could have even more. Focus. My mind hissed. Locking in on the situation before me, I stood still and waited for the right moment. Draven clenched his hands into fists. Watching closely, I spotted his right hand draw back ever so slightly. That was my mark. I waited for him to get closer and closer, to make a move. As he pushed with his left foot and lunged closer as he drew his right fist back, it was time for me to dodge and counter. I leant back as his fist moved for my face, grabbing his wrist and arm, pushing his punch away from me to miss my head. Using that momentum, I twirled around and skidded back, dropping to my hands and knees. Not having time to think things further, I pushed fo

~ A M E L I A ~All my friends tried to keep me busy and distracted during the day. We played board games, watched movies, and even had a picnic in the forest. However, I was struggling to eat and ended up watching the sun move in the sky, teasing me with what was to come. There was no more avoiding the inevitable.‘I’ll be right back,’ I said quietly, pushing myself to my feet and making my way back into my cottage. I’d become so comfortable with this home, and the chances were, win or lose, I’d not be returning to this home.I poured myself a cold glass of water and took a couple of sips before tipping the rest down the sink. Resting my hands on the kitchen counter, I tried to hash out a strategy to help me with the upcoming battle, but everything I thought of always resulted in the same thing: me losing.Draven was an Alpha werewolf, and before then, he was a powerful Beta. He had always been strong, and though I had strength, they were too limited. There was no hope.‘Hey,’ Sammy

~ A M E L I A ~To nobody’s surprise, I couldn’t sleep at all.It got to the point where I had to start pretending that I was sleeping just to stop everyone from shouting at me to rest in preparation for the battle, so I could gather my strength. We had all stuck together in the living room, moving the coffee table and the sofas to allow more space for us all to sleep on the floor. The guys brought the mattress from my bedroom and the guest bedroom to lie on the ground so they all had something comfortable to sleep on. Gabriel and Kaylee were on one mattress, while Sammy and Theo were on the other—they all had fallen asleep not long after I pretended to. I was lying on one of the sofas. Peeling my eyes open slowly, I noticed the other sofa was still vacant, and two people were not in my line of sight. I searched the room carefully to see where they had gone off, too, trying not to get caught for being awake. Both Everett and Hudson were standing by the back door, looking out to the
