Masuk~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.”
~Amelia~One second I was in the kitchen, hungry for the first time since the ceremony disaster, thinking maybe life was finally giving me a break. 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.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
AMELIA’S P.O.VI wasn’t thinking of Blake or what he did to me. No thought could exist in my mind outside of Kaden and the feel of his mouth on me. He feasted on me like a man starved and it took everything to not shut my eyes and get lost in the pleasure.He kept his eyes on me the entire time. He kn
KADEN’S P.O.VI hadn’t left my house in days and I didn’t let anyone in to see me either.Caleb hadn’t found her and while I logically knew that it wasn’t his fault, that didn’t stop me from needing someone to blame. I could have killed Blake and I wish I did, it would have been one lest scum on the e
AMELIA’S P.O.VI woke up to the sound of incessant beeping and numbness. For a split second, it felt like I was floating in a void trying to remember what had happened when I heard an unfamiliar male voice.My eyes snapped open in a flash and I shot up into a sitting positon. I didn’t know where I was
