Amelia’s POV
I wanted to steal the show, and I made sure I did.It was the first step to my plan. I wanted to get not only Eliot’s attention or the alphas present, but the entire crowd. I wanted to make Lydia feel threatened.To the other wolves it might not be a problem but to she-wolves, especially the ones that are to be mated to someone like an alpha that has so many wolves to his disposal, it is a problem.Immediately I came inside the ball room, a lot of wolves were asking me for a dance. I felt amazed. It was the first time I had a choice but this time I had to be very precise. My fate lies on this very ball.None of the wolves asking for my hand caught my attention. I needed to get Eliot’s attention and that is by dancing with and alpha, especially one higher than him. I gave one of the beta’s my hand first; the strongest one I could sense.I didn’t want anyone to discover my plan so I took it nice and easy. He was kind enough to take me to the middle of the dance floor. He was trying to build a conversion but honestly, I didn’t care.I was just looking round for a particular alpha that I heard will be in attendance. Immediately the music was over I smile and left to look for Karla. She was by the counter refilling drinks. I went there with a glass.“You said he will be here.” I told her in a whisper.“He is here. I saw him during the dinner. You just have to look.” She told me.I went toward the crowd and stood by the side so that the crowd can notice me. I wanted to get Eliot’s attention and the only way was to get the attention of someone that is higher, better and stronger than him there is only one person, Jackson Kane, alpha of the blood moon pack.I looked round but I could see him and at my side, I saw another wolf coming towards me. Immediately left the ball. I couldn’t risk dancing with another person the wasn’t what I wanted. I took a drink from a nearby waiter and went upstairs.I went to the balcony to think of what to do. I held the rod tight to pull myself together. It was like all was not going well. I couldn’t make it more clear to myself that if this did work, I might as well die.“Lady, are you okay?” I heard someone say from behind me.I turned out of shock and held my chest.“Lady, are you okay?” I heard someone say from behind me.I turned out of shock and held my chest.“I am sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you.” The man said and came closer. “Are you okay?” he asked. I could hear a bit of concern in his voice.“Yes, I am fine. I didn’t just expect anyone to come here.” I said and raised my head. I looked at him and his face took my breath away. He was so handsome but most importantly, I could sense he wasn’t ordinary.There was something unique about him.“What is a pretty she-wolf like you doing out her all alone.” He said with a smile. His teeth were so white and his smile was so elegant.“I am looking for a certain alpha. I want him to ask me for a dance.” I said. I saw his eyebrows rise with doubt and surprise. He put his hand behind him.“Why if I may ask?”“It’s complicated.”“Try me.”I looked at him and he smiled.“Well, he is the only one who can help me find the people I am looking for. I heard he is the most powerful alpha and is well gifted and connected. So, I need him.” Said to him. For some reason I trusted this person even if I should not. But he seems calm and powerful. Not one to talk much but one to do a lot.“So, what are you doing here? You are meant to be downstairs dancing with him” he smiled at me.“I know that.” I said and rolled my eyes. “I looked for me everywhere but I couldn’t find him. I was told he was going to me that this party that is why I bothered to come.” I told him. I was disappointed.“And what might be this might alpha’s name?” he asked me.I was a little bit hesitant. I wasn’t sure if I should tell him. But then I thought about it, what if he knew him or what if I could reach him through him? Besides I couldn’t sense anything bad about him and my senses are never wrong.“Jackson Kane.” I told him, “Jackson Kane. Alpha of blood moon pack.” I told him. I could see a smile on his face but it immediately went away. He kept on nodding and that gave me some kind of hope that maybe he knows him personally.But he dashed my hopes. All he said was “Hmm” and I smiled. I just grunted and went downstairs.I went down the stairs thinking. I was already to steps down to the ballroom when I felt someone hold my hand. I turn and I saw the same man.This time he had his mask on.“You want a dance, right? A dance you will get wolf.” He said with a small smile.I didn’t know what happened to me. In this situation, I am meant to reject him or tell him to let me go but I found myself obeying. I looked into his eyes they were so dark. It was amazing.He took me to the centre of the dance floor. The music started and we started to dance. I knew the dance steps by hand so I didn’t really need to count my steps. I looked into his eyes. They were so daring, like there was something that I didn’t know.I looked around and there was so one on the dance floor. It was strange. Why would they clear the dance floor for him? It should only be cleared for the couple of the hour or someone powerful like Jackson Kane. Wait;“Jackson Kane?” I asked.“The one and only.” He replied.I couldn’t believe it. I was actually dancing with Jackson Kane.“You should have told me when we were upstairs.”“What is the fun in that?” he asked me with a smirked. “You needed help with something and I came. That is what I always do.”That made me chuckle. He spined me around continuously and then held my waist. I found myself looking at him. My lips an inch away from his. His lips looked like cherry. We continued to dance.“Why isn’t anyone on the dance floor with us? Are they afraid of you?” I asked. I didn’t just want to dance. I wanted to make an impression on the man to the extent he falls hard for me.“Are you afraid of me?”“Why should I be?”I retorted as we turned side by side following the music. He spined me around and dropped me. Just when I saw about to fall, he held my waist and my leg exposed by the slit. We came back up looking at each other. The music stopped and we stopped dancing but we kept on looking at each other.“That should get you what you want. I hope we meet again wolf.” He said and bowed to me to end the dance. He let go of my hand which I didn’t notice he was holding till then and left. We both went opposite sides of the ballroom, as everyone clapped for us. It was the most beautiful experience I have ever had.All eyes were on me. That is exactly what I wanted. I was sure Eliot will come after that and he did. One thing you know about the males is that whenever they host and someone better than them dances with the prettiest girl in the room, their dominance will feel threaten. All men were the same; human or wolf.“I am the host; I should be afforded a dance, shouldn’t I?” he asked and brought out his hand for me to take. I looked at Lydia and the look on her face was priceless. I gave him my hand he we lead to the dance floor.“What is your name? I have seen you before.” He asked as we danced.“If you know my name wouldn’t that kill the fun alpha.” I answered.“You sound really familiar, have we met?” he asked again. I became a bit scared. What if he recognizes me?“I simply have one of those voices.” I told him. The music ended and he bowed.“Love to see you again some time.” He said and left.The party was going well. Eliot and his bride-to-be were giving their speech. I took a glass of champagne from one of the waiters and listened. God! It was so pathetic. Giving the fact he was only doing it to take over her pack in the first place.I stood by the side and enjoyed the show while taking a sip of my champagne. Someone can to my side and gave me a later. I looked at the man and I could sense he was a wolf, a beta to be precise.He gave me a note and said “He will be waiting for you” and left without allowing me asking anything.I opened the note and it read:Midnight, first place we met. Join me for a drink. I will be waiting for you.Jackson's POV.I sat down and observed as the werewolves from the Dark Moon Park damaged some of my belongings. I was unable to intervene, and I also found myself unable to stop pondering on Amelia's facial expressions. Why did she believe I had tried to trick her? Why didn't she let me to explain myself to her? How did she come to lose her trust in me.I could hear Simon yelling at the vandals, but they persisted in ruining things. I recollected when Alpha Alexandra had informed me that he would ensure my demise. How could she have allied with the Crescent to accuse me of her abduction? I was unable to suppress a sardonic chuckle, akin to a deranged individual devoid of any will to live. Simon gently placed his hand on my shoulder, and I returned to the present moment. "Brother!" He called out with a tone of restrained ire. I glared at him like I was interested in what he wants to say. "We can't let this happen right?" I immediately took my gaze off him and placed it on my index
Jackson's POV.I'm sure the Crescent have bad intentions concerning tonight but I just have to be here because of Amelia, I need to see her and I need to get her back to the park. Ever since she left, I haven't concentrated on anything at all. I won't let tonight pass. I thought to myself as we the Blood moon walked into the Crescent mansion, earlier today we got an invitation to their banquet. Simon stepped out and came back when we have been taken a table reserved for us. "Brother." He started. "Are you sure you need to be here?" Simon asked. "Yes." I replied with a convinced look. "I just got a call from an informant." He said leaning close to me. "He said what the Crescent are planning isn't something small but it wasn't detailed." He continental half whispering. I paused for a while and glance at him. What could be their plan? "Perhaps it was why we were invited?" I smiled calmly wanting to know what's going to happen, suddenly, Crane walked towards us, holding a gla
Jackson's POV cont'd.I quite underrated the Crescent. Perhaps it has been the reason why she was taken away from her family in the first place. Amelia might not really take it in soft if she finds out I know that she has a park and the same time I can't just let go of her. No I and the Crescent needs to settle things well, But how? I moved around my study, trying to figure out a solution to my confusion. I settled down on my seat and pondered on the conversation that went between i and the Crescent until Simon entered the study. "What's the next step? Amelia will surely be returned to her park and I'm sure she wouldn't want to have anything to do with the Blood moon anymore." Simon said as I stared into thin air for a while. "Keep a close watch on the Crescent. There's something that isn't proper around there." "Ok brother but you need to be calm. We just need to get to see Amelia and I believe she might want to hear you out." He said. "Mmm." I said nodding my head.
Lydia's POV.Why does Elliot keep insisting on helping Crane get back Amelia. I know he want the power and wealth from the Dark moon park but Amelia always looked dangerous to me. I scoffed. Now Crane has succeeded in kidnapping Amelia, this will lead to dispute between the Blood moon and we Crescent, but Alpha Elliot seems to care less about it. Gosh! These brothers are driving me insane! I moved around my room with a glass of wine in my hand already looking pissed. I know Elliot never really liked me from start that's why he keeps ignoring my words and I can sense his fishy relationship out there. I thought it was just me but I'm convinced there's another in his life. I must keep a close eye on him. Yes I'll do that. He keeps avoiding me during the day and keeps moving out of the room during the night, there's something he isn't telling me and I'm sure his Beta is aware of all that's happening. Alpha Elliot I'll get to the bottom of this, you wait and see. I kept pondering in my he
Jackson's POV cont'd.After the dinner, a palpable sense of exhilaration filled the car as we returned back to the mansion. We arrived safely but we didn't speak as we went upstairs, I know I wasn't having this silence. As soon as we got to the front of her room, her grabbed her by her waist and gave her a deep kiss, we moved inside her room still kissing as we gently took off our clothes, I slowly but manly placed her on her bed and kept kissing her, down to her neck as well, I could hear her soft moan and I was in for tonight. Suddenly I felt a strange presence around the mansion, I sniffed, and sniffed again as my eyes turned blue, I stopped kissing Amelia and kept sniffing."What's wrong?" Amelia said with a very low tone, like a whisper. I tried to ignore the presence and continue but it wasn't working."I can smell the presence of rogues." I paused and stood up still sniffing. "The rogues are here. Stay here and don't go anywhere." I said putting on my clothes and heading out. I
Amelia's POV.Few days after the night I and Jackson had sex, I've been wondering if he actually want me. Is it that he isn't into me? Does he even like me or he still sees me as one he helped after been rejected? I walked in front of the mirror in my room and stared at my reflection. Right now I need Lia to comfort me so bad. I called out my wolf and she appeared, taking over my reflection. She looked at me like I'm crazy, I know what she might be thinking. "Don't be hasty to conclude he isn't into you my dear." She said. "I mean... I like him already but I feel he doesn't." "Of course he does, who knows he might be thinking the same, that's why he's taking it slowly. Don't get too hasty and don't forget that Crane's still there fighting to get you back." She said "I don't love him anymore. Years have passed and I can't still hold onto what I've dropped a long time ago." I said. There was a time I still held unto to fact he will come back to me. I know he had his reaso
