Amelia screamed in terror as she felt her body slowly fall off the cliff. She closed her eyes waiting for her body to feel the cold water and hard rock below. But instead, she felt someone grab her hands. She slowly opened her eyes and saw that she was hanging on the cliff. Amelia gasped as she saw deep down under her.
“Oh my god!” she cried. Then she grabbed her other hand to whoever was holding her.
“Don’t let go!” he shouted.
Amelia’s heart was already pounding. Suddenly, her sadness went away. She was ready to end her life earlier, but she was terrified now. Seeing how deep the river was below made her knees tremble. The man slowly pulled her up. Amelia was relieved and crawled away from the cliff when she was finally safe.
“Oh my god! I thought I was going to die already!”
The man chuckled. “Wasn’t that what you were doing earlier?”
Amelia held up her head. She saw a tall man smiling at him. He was covering the moon. That was why it looked like it was shining from behind. Amelia’s mouth opened and almost watered. This man was a goddess! His eyes were blue and his hair was white–no. It was silver. It was her first time seeing anyone with that hair color. Amelia stood up without moving her gaze away from him. Then suddenly, the man's smile went away, and he stared at her too. No one was talking and their breathing became hard. Slowly until they were breathing unitized.
Amelia felt his gaze warm. Almost feeling like it was hugging her and giving her warmth.
“Mate,” they both said.
“Mate,” a voice from Amelia’s head. Then it howled.
‘Who was that?’
‘Mate!’ it said again.
‘I have a wolf?!’
Amelia’s eyes widened. She touched her mouth as she gasped in surprise. She stepped back but she made the wrong step and she almost fell down. But her mate grabbed her by her waist and pulled her closer to him.
‘Mate!’ the voice kept on saying from Amelia’s head. She mindlessly smelled the man as she was close to him. ‘He smells good! Mine!’
‘Yeah,’ Amelia finally answered. Now it was talking. She was still confused about what was happening to her.
“W-Who are you?” she finally asked.
The man lowered his face. He closed his eyes and smelled Amelia. “Mine,” he growled.
Amelia gulped as he went to her neck. He breathed there, which made Amelia shiver. Then he kissed her cheek and went to her lips. Amelia blinked thrice until she finally realized what he was doing. She tried her best to push him away and step back. He looked at her confused.
‘What are you doing?! He is our mate!’ the voice protested and growled at her.
‘Shut up! I don’t know him!’
“Who are you?! I know everyone in my pack and I swear I never saw you!”
The man then stared at her. “Oh, right. I’m sorry. I forgot to introduce myself. I was stunned because of you.” Then he smiled sweetly at her.
Amelia felt weird but she tried to control herself. “Stop it! Are you a rogue?!”
“Rogue? No! I’m not a rogue!”
Amelia’s eyes widened as she remembered what happened to her mother. She slowly stepped back.
‘Hey, Amelia! What are you doing?!’ the thing inside her said. She didn’t even know if it was a wolf. But it howled so she would think that it was a wolf for now.
But Amelia did not answer her. When the man stepped forward at her, she immediately turned around and ran back to their pack. How could a rogue enter their territory?! It was impossible already because their Alpha put guards on the surroundings of their territory.
‘Amelia! Stop running! He is our mate!’
‘Shut up, will you?! I don’t even know if you are real!’
‘Of course, I am! I am Lily.’
Amelia shook her head. ‘Lily, whatever you are, just please shut up for now! I need to run away from him!’
‘No one is chasing you, duh? And I am not ‘whatever.’ I am your beast form.’
Amelia stopped running and looked back. Lily was right. No one was chasing her. Why didn't he chase her? She sat down on the ground to rest a bit. She still couldn’t believe what just happened.
She saw Nicolai again and learned that they still had a bond. Then she almost killed herself but she was saved by a man that turned out to be her mate too. Then a voice came out of her head and apparently was telling her it was her beast form.
“Oh my god! My mind will explode!” Amelia looked up at the sky. “What is happening, Moon Goddess? Why do I have two mates? And why do I have a beast instead of a wolf? Oh, god! I don’t know what to think anymore!”
Amelia put her face on her palms. She was so confused and didn't know what to do.
‘Maybe start by walking now and going home. You looked stressed already. It’s your birthday, Amelia. Happy birthday to you.’
Amelia rested her back on the tree. ‘Yeah. It’s my birthday now for sure. But why did you just come out now? I mean. What kind of a beast are you? Lycan?’
‘Ahm. Probably.’
“Oh my god. The ones who killed my mother were Lycans!”
‘Yeah, I know. And our new mate was a Lycan too.’
Amelia gasped. Was that the reason why she did not have her wolf? Because she was not a wolf but a Lycan? Was it also the reason why those rogues killed her mother? But why? And how? Her mother and father were werewolves. Even her big brother was a wolf! How could it be that they were wolves and she was a Lycan? More questions were raised in Amelia’s mind. Everything was too much for her. So she decided to follow Lily’s advice. She went home to their house. Luckily, Marcus and Bea were not in their house already. She silently went to her room and laid her body on her bed. She sighed and closed her eyes.
‘Looks like I’ll be a rogue tomorrow. Should I go find my second mate instead? I should’ve at least gotten his name.’
Before Marcus and Bea woke up, Amelia decided to go. She left a note at her study table for them. She was giving her blessings to them and telling them that she'd be okay and to not find her. The whole pack was still sleeping and the sky was still dark. Amelia inhaled the morning breeze as she walked outside. “I’ll be fine,” she whispered. She doesn’t know what will wait for him in the human city. But this was the best. She doesn’t want to cause any harm to their pack. ‘You are crazy, Amelia! You can’t go!’ Amelia sighed. Her wolf–beast had been telling her not to go. Lily was saying that she could sense their second mate was just near. But Amelia’s decision was already firm. She wanted to go. ‘This is the best, Lily. Just support me, please.’ ‘But you have me, okay? You are not a human!’ ‘But I am a Lycan, and it is still the same.’ Lily growled. ‘Then let’s go find our mate.’ Amelia shook her head. She decided not to answer Lily anymore. She kept on whining in her head.
‘Amelia, wake up!’ Amelia gasped and sat down as she came from drowning. She filled her lungs with more air as she looked around. “Where am I, Lily?” she asked. She was in a room it a big window. The room looked beautiful and very organized. She felt like no one was using the room. Her bag was on a big couch at the end of the bed where she was lying down. ‘We’re in the room of our mates! You passed out when you saw them!’ Amelia frowned. Yes. She finally remembered it now. She smelled the scent of her mate earlier. And to her surprise, she doesn’t have only one mate but two! Amelia gasped and touched her mouth. “Was it true? Do we have two new mates? Was it even possible? Lily! Answer me!” she asked. Amelia was already panicking because she had never heard of anyone having two mates. ‘Calm down, okay? Yes. Some wolves or Lycans can have two mates. Especially if they’re twins. Like our mates,’ Lily explained. ‘I can’t wait to see them again!’ “They are twins? Seriously?” ‘
The twins were silent as they were riding the car getting to their pack. Amelia kept on praying to the Moon Goddess that these two wouldn’t do anything when they arrived. She could see how it angered them to hear what they had just said. Grey was driving and Blue was in the passenger seat. Amelia was on her back, looking down and thinking about what she should do. ‘I should’ve told them about it,’ Amelia said. ‘Why not? Now, that Alpha's ex-mate of ours will know the consequences of what he did to you.’ ‘But, Lily. You know the reason why he did that. And I understand it, I am wolfless.’ Lily groaned. ‘Because I am not a wolf!’ ‘I know. But I should tell them about it.’ ‘Fine.’ Amelia cleared her throat. “Ahm. Blue. Grey. What are you doing with our pack?” Blue looked at Amelia from the rear-view mirror. “We were supposed to check out your pack and attend the appointment of your new alpha. But it looks like your new alpha was not capable.” “What do you mean?” “We wi
Amelia and Bea went home to their house. Marcus was there already waiting for them. Inside, Amelia explained to them what happened to her earlier and why she was with the twin princes. And how she ran away from their pack. “Never do that again, Amelia! You don’t know how much you made us worried!” Marcus said. His face was red already and they could hear a growl coming out of his throat. “I-I’m sorry, Brother. My mind was clouded. I just want to run away from this place.” “But why, Amelia? What did your bullies tell you? I swear I will report them to Alpha Chase now!” Bea exclaimed. “Yes! So what if you’re wolfless? We don’t care! You are my sister and you should be here!” Amelia looked away. She still had yet to tell them about what Nicolai did to her. She was thinking twice because Nicolai would be their next alpha. “Yes. I’m wolfless, brother. Because I am a Lycan. Do you know about this? Was our father a Lycan?” Amelia said. She couldn’t tell Nicolai. Marcus frowned.
Amelia tried to remove her hand. She could feel Vera’s nails slowly piercing her skin. It was also making her breathe hard and slowly, her vision went blurry. But she saw a familiar figure behind Vera. It was Nicolai, standing firm with a brimming authoritative aura. He looked at Vera’s friend who was holding Bea. The two immediately let go of Bea. “Let her go!” Bea shouted. “Vera,” Nicolai called his chosen mate. Vera turned her head and saw Nicolai. Her eyes widened and she immediately let go of Amelia. “N-Nicolai!” “Amelia!” Bea went to Amelia and helped her. She was coughing. “It’s okay now. Breathe.” “What is going on here?” Vera bit her lips. She looked at Nicolai and she saw that he was staring at Amelia. She frowned and went to Nicolai’s side. “Babe! They are being mean to me! They said I am not capable of being Luna because I am not your fated mate.” Vera pouted her lips and held onto Nicola’s arm. Nicolai growled and glared at Amelia. “Did you say that?” “No
Amelia was giggling as she walked with her mates out of the woods. She was over the moon now that she could shift to her beast. She could feel Lily was delighted too that she kept howling and running in her mind. She was beautiful in her eyes. “You were great, love,” Blue said. He was holding Amelia’s right hand. “True. You surprised us. And it was our first time seeing a red Lycan.” Grey was on her left side. Amelia blushed. The twins had been praising her because of her fast shifting. Usually, the first shifting of a Lycan takes up to three hours. But Amelia almost didn’t feel her shifting. Like it was not her first time. “Is my fur not right?” “No. There’s nothing wrong with your fur. You were gorgeous earlier. We could see how excited our beast was seeing yours.” Blue stared at Amelia’s hair. “We love your new hair color.” When Amelia shifted back to her human form, the color of her hair became dark red like blood. The same color as her fur. “And please stop doubting
'To my dearest daughter, By the time you read this, I might be on the Moon Goddess's side. I want you to know that I love you so much, my daughter. I am sorry for leaving you like this. I must too. For your safety. Forgive me because I couldn't tell you the reason too here. I don't know these people. But I believe that this pack would help you. I know you are confused, angry, and sad. By the time the Moon Goddess allows it, you will finally know what you are. You will get what is rightfully yours. I am always hoping for your safety. My daughter, you are special. If you are feeling sad. Look up and always remember that I am by your side. Never trust anyone. Your mother.' That was the content of the next letter. Amelia was sobbing by the time she finished reading it. Her chest felt so hard that her breathing became hard too. Why? Why does she feel like something bad happened to her birth parents? She never met them but she could feel how hard it must have been for them to leav
Lily growled as she waited for the steps nearing her. Her claws went out and were ready to attack. But Lily stopped as she smelled the familiar scent. ‘Nicolai?’ Lily waited for Nicolai to show him. And she was right. There she saw the big black wolf growling at her. But he immediately turned back to his human form. ‘What should I do?’ Lily asked. ‘It's okay.’ Amelia went back to her human form. But realizing she was naked. Her eyes widened and screamed at Nicolai. “Turn around!” she asked. But she realized too that there was no way that Nicolai would follow her. So she immediately looked for something to cover herself. She saw a big leaf just exactly for her to cover her private parts. Amelia looked at Nicolai again and she was surprised that he turned away from her. ‘Weird,’ Amelia thought. “Y-You can find something to cover yourself too… if you want,” she said. Nicolai turned himself back to Amelia. He did not mind his nakedness and stared at her face only. Amelia then trie
