로그인~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~“I don’t have a problem with who you are,” I told him. “I just want our child to have traits far better than ours. She should be respected, yes but not a tyrant.”I kept going before he could cut in.“You know what I grew up around. I know what happens when cruelty hides inside authority.”

The next second the knife slipped from my hand, the room tilted, and I saw a little girl standing in the middle of the training field with silver light buzzing in her fingers.I froze.The toast dropped.
AMELIA’S P.O.VI was discharged before the end of the day.Kaden clearly didn’t agree with my choice but I doubted he could bring himself to refuse me. I knew I was being a little irrational and illogical but I couldn’t bear to be anywhere else. I wanted to be surrounded by people I knew and by my hom
AMELIA’S P.O.VI had no idea where I was going or where I was.Once I got out of the house, I ran west. Growing up, I was always taught to find a river because most often than not, a river led to a town and from a town, I could find my way home. With tears in my eyes, I ran. I just wanted to be free,
AMELIA’S P.O.VJackson and I left very early in the morning and we had been running for the entire day.My paws hurt and I was sure that I was bleeding somewhere but I didn’t care. I was so close, so fucking close and I wasn’t going to give up now. We had stopped for water a while ago and Jackson told
AMELIA’S P.O.VWhen Blake returned later, it was already nighttime. The moon was high in the sky and I could hear the crickets chirping outside. The only source of light was the tiny lamp on the small coffee table. I ran the plan over again in my mind being careful to make sure there were no holes in
