Amelia's POV
I didn't know whether walking in front of Damien was such a good idea as I led him toward the room that had been prepared for him.
I could feel all the hairs on my neck stand, my movements were stiff and almost uncoordinated like I didn't know where I was going. My face was hot and red and I had a strong urge to turn around to see if he was looking at me. I wanted to know what he was thinking.
His voice had been so cold and emotionless as he ordered me to show him to his quarters and even though I was used to Cassius's cruelty, I didn't understand why Damien's coldness surprised me.
Perhaps it was because of the way he looked, his eyes filled with a fire that Cassius lacked.
And then there were the butterflies in my stomach that seemed to flutter whenever he was near.
What was this feeling? And why was it happening now?
Touching my forehead with the back of my hand as I stopped in front of the huge black door that led into the room the Alpha would be staying in, I turned to look at him and the two men that had followed him.
"As my master said, only one room was prepared. I will let you know when the others are ready for use." I said with a low bow, raising my head to watch Damien stare at me coldly, his height even more intimidating now that he was standing in front of me.
His blue eyes suddenly moved away as if he could not bear to look at me for one more second and he entered the room, his companions behind him, and the door was slammed shut.
I didn't know why my eyes stung at the lack of anything in his gaze and it made me wonder whether I had developed a crush on the Alpha, because why did his lack of interest bother me? If anything, I should be grateful.
I wanted to wake up one morning and see a lack of interest burning in Cassius's eyes.
My stomach plummeted, my body taut with fear as I headed to Cassius's room, knowing that nothing good ever came out of going to his room.
When I entered, he was removing the cufflinks from his shirt and his hair looked like he had run his hands through it in despair.
He didn't like that the Alpha had decided to spend the night.
"Get me a glass of blood." He said without turning to look at me and I nodded with a bow even though he couldn't see me and ran to the kitchen, quickly preparing the tray and grabbing a blood bag from the refrigerator to fill the empty glass.
With the mood Cassius was in, I didn't want to be the one to bear the consequences as he would look for any excuse to hurt me.
Entering the room, I dropped the tray gently on the table in front of him and bowed, turning around to leave when he spoke.
"Stay." He ordered.
I swallowed nervously, nodding before I went to stand by the door, with my head bowed, staring at my feet as he had always ordered me to, except he wanted me to look at him. I had forgotten to do it once and my back still bore scars from that incident.
As I stood idly by the door, the door suddenly opened and Elena entered, bowing low at the waist. I glanced at her covertly, making sure he didn't see that I had raised my head.
"Speak," he told her and I saw her swallow nervously before she answered.
"Some mails have arrived for you in your office, Master. Shall I sort them for you?"
"No. I will do them. You may go."
Elena nodded and bowed again, giving me a sympathetic smile before she left the room.
I stood by the door awkwardly for what felt like hours after that, afraid to peek and see what Cassius was doing.
Just as I was counting back from hundred, I heard his voice again in the quiet room.
"We are going to my office to set the mails. Raise your head."
Raising my head, I opened the door for him and rushed to walk in front of him so that I could open the door to his office because he did not like anyone to walk behind him.
Following him as he walked to sit behind his desk, I stood meekly by his side and winced when he dug his nails into the skin of my arm.
"Kneel. That's how you will be till we are done here."
Biting my lips, I did as he asked and fought the urge to cry at the pleasure in his eyes from watching me on my knees.
Handing me some of the envelopes from where there was a pile on the table, he relaxed into the chair and folded his arms.
"Read them out to me." He ordered and one after the other, I started to read out all of the mails while he listened.
I was on the tenth mail when he raised his hand, halting me.
"I have let you be all day, Amelia. Don't you think that it is time for you to see to it that I am relieved and happy after the long day I have had?"
My face paled at what he was insinuating and I chose to feign ignorance.
Reluctantly, I looked up at him and tried to sound as polite as possible, even though my lips quivered as tears brimmed in my eyes.
"What would you like me to do, Master?"
The smirk on his face turned into a frown and I knew that it was only a matter of time before his rage was directed at me.
"After all these years, you still ask what would pleasure me?" His face was contorted into a frown that gave me a glimpse of the monster that lay beneath but I wasn't about to give in this time without a fight.
"You've always told me to ask what you want, Master. That it is the best way to please you and so that I do not do what you do not like. Has that changed, Master?" I replied and the next thing I received was a hard slap across my cheek.
My head throbbed and he grabbed my neck, dragging me to kneel between his legs.
"You cheeky little brat. Perhaps sucking my c*ck will teach you to not be naughty. Undo my belt." He growled and my eyes stung with tears as my hands shakily undid his belt and released his c*ck from his trousers.
His cock sprung up angrily, long and hard and Cassius looked at me gleefully.
"Being cheeky turns me the fuck on, you bitch. Now, taste."
He forced his dick into my mouth and I fought the urge to bite down hard.
Throwing his head back, he groaned as I fisted the base of his c*ck and pumped him hard.
"Yes, slave. Take it deeper into your mouth, you mouthy little bitch." He slapped me again and with both hands around my neck, he pushed into my mouth deeper until his dick was touching the back of my tongue. I gagged and he smiled, his grin cruel.
"Just look at you, little whore, that smart mouth wrapped around my cock. You should be honored that you get to taste this. You should be fucking honored." He slapped me hard again and this time, tears fell down my cheeks as he began to fuck my mouth hard.
Grabbing a fistful of my hair, he slapped my face hard again as he moved in and out of my mouth and I fought the urge to throw up, more tears trickling down my cheeks as he groaned in pleasure, locking eyes with me and smiling maliciously.
And then his entire body stiffened and I knew he was about to cum. As if sensing that I was about to withdraw, he held my head and slapped me again as he started to cum with a growl that filled the entire room.
"Swallow every drop, you wench. Swallow everything. Fuck!" He shook around me, still fucking my mouth as he spilled cum down my throat.
When he finally was done, he pushed me away like I was a rag doll and kicked me.
He tucked his cock into his pants and fixed the belt before looking at me.
"Go to my room and remove all of your clothes down to the very last piece. Fucking your mouth is not enough. I need to fuck you hard so that you remember who is your master. Now get out of my sight."
Standing up with my entire body shaking, I wiped my mouth and bowed, angry tears falling down my cheeks as I left his office.
I dreaded what awaited me the minute he came to his bedroom and just wanted to die. I wanted everything to be over. I wanted Cassius to die. I wanted the world to end.
Dear wonderful readers, I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to read my book! Your support and enthusiasm mean the world to me.

EPILOGUE*Six years later Amelia's POVDreams did come true, I thought as I walked into the woods and stood far away from where my mate was playing with our daughter, Kiara, watching them with a wide smile. She was the spitting image of her father, took his hair, his eyes, everything, and even his smile. The only thing that she probably got from me was my creamy skin and I had not one complaint at all. In fact, it made me smile every time I watched the two of them bicker about something which was almost every time these days, quickly reminding them that they could settle it since they looked very much alike. She threw a punch in the air at Damien which he evaded with ease, but not too much ease that made me realize that he was actually letting her off easy. She tried again and this time that I saw that she was so close to landing a punch but he caught her hand and shook his head, squatting as he ruffled her hair. "Listen to me, Kiara, we have been over this time and again. You are
Amelia's POVI did not think that I would be able to pull this off but looking at the table now, I was proud of what I was able to achieve. The dining hall was large enough to take over fifty people and with the chairs that we added, it was large enough to take almost everybody interested in enjoying this banquet.I had learned that Damien's mother as Luna used to organize something like this and I could see how it was going to help to foster togetherness.Damien had been skeptical about allowing me to do it, quickly reminding me that I was pregnant and that I did not need to do any heavy lifting but I had made sure that it didn't matter, not when I knew that it would be something that people would remember me to, with fondness in their hearts.I felt a sense of pride when I saw everyone digging into their breakfast and having looks of approval. I turned to glance at Blair and she was wearing an equally proud smile on her face. We had done this together with the help of some maids of
Amelia’s POV“How about this one?” Elena asked, her eyes bright as she held up a black sleeveless blouse and a skirt that was probably going to stop mid-thigh, her eyes bright with excitement. “Nope,” I answered, my eyes fixed on the television as I chewed away yet another bag of chips. My appetite had returned with a vengeance after the last couple of weeks that had consisted of vomiting spells and zero appetite. Elizabeth had said that it was because I had passed the first trimester of pregnancy and was now in my second. “Okay, this one is perfect. Why don’t you wear this one?” She came to stand in front of me, holding up a short blue dress that was probably as lovely as the rest but I was not interested, the same with all of the other options that she had chosen for me. I already knew what I was going to wear from the beginning, since the moment she entered the room and told me that I was going out with her and that it was going to be in thirty minutes. “Oh come on, Amelia, so w
Damien's POVI knew that Amelia would probably roll her eyes if I said this to her but she was hands down the most beautiful woman that I had laid eyes on. Perhaps it was the mating bond speaking but it didn't matter. I was hopelessly irrevocably in love with her. She sat beside me, the first aid box on her lap, and opened her hand for me to give her my bruised knuckles. I fought the urge to tumble her on the bed and kiss her senselessly because she looked less than pleased at my injuries even though they didn't hurt and would heal on their own. "It was nothing serious," I said again. When I had told her the first time, she had raised her eyebrows at me in a scolding fashion. It would have looked really threatening if I was not a big bad werewolf that was probably two times her size and towered over most people in the pack, including her. I stifled my amusement at how adorable she was because I knew that she would not appreciate that sort of thing. "I heard you the first time, Al
Amelia's POVThe silence in the kitchen was deafening and the entire atmosphere was very tense after my statement. I was well aware that if I did not do so something to diffuse this, things were going to escalate beyond measure but I had had enough of Nikki, from her passive-aggressive behavior to hurting people like they were not human beings and looking at others from beneath her nose like she was higher than every one of them. Her momentary shock at my statement was quick to fade and she pulled her arm away from my grasp and frowned at me. "Oh and what do we have here? So you really think that just because people have accepted you that you can go around calling yourself Luna and expect people to do what you want? I rolled my eyes, almost chuckling to myself.She continued, "It seems that you have forgotten your place, have you not? You are a slave like her, perhaps that is why you feel so strongly that I am teaching her a lesson." "You bitch!" Elena roared and tried to reach he
