Masuk~Amelia~By the time I got to Gregory's cell, I had already rehearsed ten different versions of what I was going to say to him.None of them were kind. None of them were supposed to be.Kaden walked beside me the whole way down. Caleb followed just behind. The guard unlocked the outer gate and stepped aside without a word.
~Amelia~“Say it,” Kaden ordered. Blake exhaled. “He used poison first. Enough to make her weak and that if anyone noticed, it looked like her body was failing. When that didn’t happen quickly enough, he finished it.”My nails bit into the envelope.
~Amelia~Blake had the kind of nerve that should have gotten him buried weeks ago.I was in the small sitting room near the eastern hall with a cup of tea I had already forgotten to drink, trying to convince myself that a quiet afternoon was not some suspicious trick sent by the universe. Kaden had been called away to deal with patrol reports. Caleb was somewhere outside pretendi
~Amelia~Caleb showed up and leaned on the fence like the field had become free entertainment while Clara perched on the rail. Then one badly timed blast sent silver sparks wide, and one of the younger boys who had been watching too close yelped and stumbled backward off the rail. He hit the dirt awkwardly.Everybody winced.
~Amelia~By sunrise, Alan had already decided peace was not for me.I barely had both feet planted on the training field before he sent a blast of force straight at my chest.My shield flew up on instinct, and the hit shoved me backward hard enough that my boots dragged through the dirt. I managed to stay standing, which felt like a personal victory considering I had not even eaten yet.
~Amelia~When Caleb told me a northern Alpha was coming to Dark Fangs because of my baby, I stopped halfway through folding one of Kaden’s shirts and just stared at him in shock.He stood in the doorway like he had not just said something wildly irritating.I blinked once. “Because of my baby?”
AMELIA’S P.O.VBlake hadn’t touched me again since that day but I couldn’t shake the guilt that I felt. I knew why I had done it but that didn’t seem like enough of a justification to me. I had kissed another man, I had let him kiss my skin and even though an entire day had passed and I had scrubbed
AMELIA’S P.O.VMy head was pounding. It felt like someone had taken a sledgehammer to my skull and had turned it into their personal construction ground. I lifted a hand to my face trying to block out the bright rays of light hitting me. I wasn’t sure what had happened but I felt immensely weak. It f
AMELIA’S P.O.VI couldn’t fall asleep the entire time that Blake was behind me. I wasn’t sure if it was the unfamiliarity of the room, the fact that I missed Kaden, the fear or the boner that pressed into my back. Whatever it was, I couldn’t bring myself to actually fall asleep.Blake fell asleep and
KADEN’S P.O.VAmelia wasn’t here. I wasn’t sure if I was more pissed off or relieved by that.Just because she wasn’t here didn’t mean she wasn’t with Blake though. He seemed too much at ease for someone who was obsessed with Amelia. I wasn’t going to find her here, that much was clear. I had to retur
