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.

I am so excited to continue this journey with you and bring you more of the characters you have grown to love (and certainly some new ones too!). I promise to keep you on the edge of your seat with even more twists and turns. Again, thank you for all that you do. I appreciate every kind word, review, and recommendation. You are the reason I write, and I cannot wait to share more of my stories with you. With love and gratitude, H.B Temilorun
Amelia's POV Pain. It made me wonder how much more I could take before I passed out and probably never wake up again. My entire body ached, my bones shaking as I turned on the bed, and the chains that held me captive rattled, reminding me of what I was. A slave. At Cassius's mercy. My pussy ached and I felt sore all over as I remembered how he had laughed as he tortured me, how his handsome face had looked distorted as his lips lifted up in a cruel smile at my pleas for him to stop. He didn't ever stop though, seeming to enjoy it when I begged, writhing in pain. He was the devil and I was just his to use, hurt, and fuck as he pleased. My eyes hurt as I forced them open to take in his room. My prison. I was probably the only thing that was not attractive and bright in this king-sized bedroom. Looking down at the flimsy dress he had forced me into before he left, I tried to raise my leg and winced from the pain, the chains rattling as the cuff dangled from my ankles,
Amelia's POV"Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?" Elizabeth asked as she pulled away from me and hurried back to chopping the vegetables in a hurry. It made me momentarily forget about my own troubles and be truly intrigued about what could be happening that made her so rattled and looking like she was running out of time. Speaking of which, I was also here to ask about the reason why I had been sent to the kitchen by Cassius or the Master as he often reminded us. "Is something happening? Do you know why I was ordered to come to the kitchen?" I asked her and she didn't answer immediately, hurrying over to check for something in the kitchen drawer and shaking her head when she didn't find what she was looking for before finally turning to face me. "We don't know either. All we know is that the Master is having a guest over tomorrow and has ordered us to ensure that all the preparations are in place. Perhaps that is why you were sent here. Sit, I'll whip up something q
Amelia's POVI was running in the woods, my breaths coming fast as I dreaded looking back because he was chasing me. My master and prisoner. A beast with the face of a man. Running as fast as my legs could carry me, I gasped as my legs made a connection with a branch and I fell on my face. "Thought you could run away from me, Amelia love?" His menacing voice said and I froze, turning around on the ground to see him looking down at me with a sinister smile. "Tell me, Amelia, how loud do you think you can scream? Let's find out." And then he grabbed my neck and sank his fangs into my throat. I screamed and opened my eyes, jumping from the bed. It had been a dream, I realized as I stared at the four walls of my bedroom and touched my throat which was slick with sweat. Inhaling deeply, I shuddered because the nightmare had felt so real this time. I could feel my pulse rising and it felt like Cassius was really there, taunting me. Looking at the clock, my eyes widened when I saw
Amelia's POV I had thought that when the blue jade eyes landed on me just as they had on all of the other staff, they would move of their own accord so it made me self-conscious and almost entranced when we both stared at each other, the silence around us thick and tense as his eyes watched me like he was observing a phenomenon that could not be possible. His pupils dilated and I swallowed, unable to break our stare. Elizabeth cleared her throat and from the corner of my eye, I saw her step forward and give a deep bow. "Welcome Alpha, to our Master's home." The rest of us followed suit, bowing and repeating her words and when I raised my head, he was still staring at me. Pulling me behind her gently, Elizabeth smiled at him and gestured towards the large entrance doors. "Let me show you to where the Master is waiting." He nodded and as he walked forward, I noticed how his hands had turned into fists, his knuckles, white, and his jaw, clenched. It made me wonder what he
Amelia's POVI 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 tu
Amelia's POVI hated my life. I hated how powerless I was. And as I tossed and turned on the bed, naked down to my bare skin just as Cassius had ordered, I fought the tears that refused to stop falling down my cheeks and sat up on the bed, bringing my knees to my chest as I waited with dread for the door to swing open and for him to walk in, eyes filled with malicious intent. I didn't know how long I rocked back and forth on the bed waiting for the door to open but as I looked up at the gigantic clock in the room, I realized that hours had passed since I was ordered to leave his office and come here. My anxiety increased as I wondered if this was one of his mind games at work again. Was he purposely delaying to make me squirm and lose my mind to panic? I was expecting him to rush in here so that I could leave as soon as he was done with me but perhaps he had other ideas. What was wrong? Has something bad happened to him at last? Has all of my prayers finally worked? Or was it Damie
Amelia's POV After the rollercoaster night that I had, I was not very surprised when I woke up to the sound of the alarm clock almost immediately the next morning. Taking a deep breath, I was already dreading what horrors today might bring to me when I remembered what had happened in the kitchen yesterday. With Damien. The Alpha who was too handsome and had a face that could scare the living daylights out of a person if he so wished. I remembered how his hand had wrapped around my neck and how my body had come alive with fear and something else that till now I could not quite describe, how his eyes had darkened with rage as he asked me who had touched me. Slapping my forehead to stop myself from daydreaming, I quickly showered and left my room, heading to Cassius' room first like I always did every morning. As I got to the front of the door, I remembered how he had kept me in his room for hours and hadn't come back. Would he punish me today instead? Instead of drinking the b
