Masuk~Amelia~The first contraction disturbed my beauty sleep at three in the morning and I lay there for a full ten seconds convincing myself it was just the baby shifting positions.Unfortunately, it was not the baby shifting positions.The second one came six minutes later and that was when I sat up in bed and pressed both hands flat against my stomach and thought, very clearly, okay. Thi
~Amelia~"Let me tell you something about your precious Vibrius bloodline," he said, and his voice took on the tone of a man who had been waiting to say this for a long time. "I spent years watching what that power does to people around it. Your mother couldn't walk into a room without changing the energy in it.”“Wolves who were perfectly stable around her started having control issues, acting like rogues. Young wolves who hadn't even come into their abilities yet were triggering early around her. She was a disruption, A
~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’S P.O.VIt was exactly one week since I had been back and I was yet to leave the house.Kaden had been patient with me, not forcing me to go anywhere until I was ready or making me do anything I didn’t want to but even I knew that life had to move on. I couldn’t just sit in here forever and pre
BLAKE’S P.O.VFor a second, I was floored. She was kissing me. I had dreamed about it for so long but I realized that my imagination was a lot different from reality. She was soft and her lips were as soft as pillows. I tangled my hands into the back of her head and kissed her deeply. It felt like ev
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
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
