KADEN’S P.O.VMy irritation was growing with each passing second. I was irritated that I had to go on that godsforsaken date with that girl. She was about as interesting to watch as drying cement. She could barely even hold a simple conversation and she kept trying to throw herself at me. I wanted nothing more than to get up and walk right out of that restaurant but I knew mother would never let me hear the end of it.I spent the entire time thinking about Amelia and her scent and how soft her hair felt beneath my fingers. I thought about how peaceful she looked while sleeping and all the things I wanted to do to her. That was the only way I was able to get through that nightmare. I thought about her so much that for a split second when I was leaving the restaurant, I could have sworn that I actually smelled her scent but I knew it was impossible because I looked around and I couldn’t see her.I felt a pressure at the back of my mind meaning someone wanted to mind link me and I put my
AMELIA’S P.O.VTime seemed to fly by and my days got even busier. Clara took me to a store where I was able to get some things for school. The closer I got to school, the more terrifying the idea of it became. Kaden hadn’t called me for the test yet so I was yet to train and I was scared of meeting those boys but the general excitement of going to school managed to water down my fear.It took me hours of sitting in bed and squealing into my pillow before I managed to fall asleep and regardless of that, I woke up every other hour hoping that it would finally be morning. By the time I saw 6 a.m. on the clock, I practically leaped out of bed and rushed into the bathroom.By 7, I was dressed in simple jeans and a cute top with a sweater over it and I paired it with sneakers and tied my hair into a low ponytail. I didn’t want to dress too much so I wouldn’t draw attention to myself but I also wanted to look good and I think I managed to get the exact look I was going for.I waited patientl
AMELIA’S P.O.VMy steps faltered and I wanted to run away and pretend like this just didn’t happen. I looked over at her hoping that her figure would change before my eyes but even as she smiled, I recognized her as the same girl. I was about to leave when Aiden looked up at me. He pulled out a chair for me and I had no other choice but to take a seat beside both of them.I noticed that the girl was also looking at me with a weird and analytic expression. Her eyes were piercing and I wanted to shrink under the gaze but I forced my shoulders to stay squared and I gave her a soft smile which she returned quickly.“Amelia this is Lucy,” Aiden said and I waved at her. She didn’t wave back but all she did was give me a curt nod of acknowledgment which I took to be better than no response at all. “It’s really nice to meet you,” I said to her and she smiled at me- even her smile was beautiful and I had to stop myself from comparing myself to her.“Lucy is also new like you,” Aiden t
AMELIA’S P.O.VThe entire school stopped to stare at Kaden and I am assuming that it isn’t a normal thing for him to appear on school premises to pick someone up. I felt my cheeks heat up as his eyes found mine and he started moving over towards me. I could hear whispers from people all around wondering who he came for and a flash of movement to his side had my smile falling.Lucy had the smuggest expression on her face as she made her way over to him. She walked like the ground was her personal runway and I couldn’t help the feeling of envy as she proudly made her way over to Kaden. The whispers increased and got louder as she got to his side but to my surprise, he practically ignored her. The truth is, I don’t even think he saw her because his eyes were fixated on me.Her steps ceased as he walked right past her and I saw her mouth fall open as an ugly expression took over her features. I heard people snicker at her and I felt bad for her because people were outright pointing at her
AMELIA’S P.O.VIt was only a few minutes that I spent waiting for Kaden to return but it felt like hours. I sat in one of the chairs and waited anxiously for him to return. I couldn’t help but wonder what was being said in my absence. I wondered whether he would defend me to Lucy or whether he would take her side and call me a wolf less member. I heard those words every single day at my old pack but hearing it now felt like an even bigger insult.This was supposed to be my new and fresh start but it was like my past kept following me no matter how much I tried to avoid it. It was like no matter where I went, all people noticed first was that I was wolf less. I couldn’t help but wish I had a wolf like everyone else then maybe those words wouldn’t have hurt.All my life I had asked the question, why didn’t I have a wolf? Was I cursed? Was I as useless as they all thought I was? Why couldn’t I just be like the others? I didn’t know if it was jealousy or envy but that emotion was roaring
AMELIA’S P.O.VKaden stood in front of me like an imposing statue. My hands were still in his and I could feel the weight of his stare like an ever watching hawk. The intensity of his gaze was enough to make even grown men squirm. He stared like he knew all your secrets and he could see through your skin and bones into the deepest parts of your heart and soul and like he could see even the things you struggled to hide.I tried not to squirm in my seat but it was difficult especially because I couldn’t bring myself to look up at him. I could feel him boring a hole into me and I knew he wanted me to look up but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. His gaze and his hands holding mine was leading my entire being into an overdrive and I didn’t understand why that was happening.Suddenly, I felt his grip loosen and I used that moment to pull my hands into my lap. I could still feel the pressure from his hold and somehow as I pulled my hands closer to myself, I felt cold. I almost missed the he
KADEN’S P.O.VI have never once been more grateful for the fact that Amelia is nervous around me than I have been today. Usually I hate her nervousness and I want her to be free around me but if she was then she would have noticed how many times I slipped up today. From the moment I picked her up at school, it was a battle not to haul her into her arms. When Lucy arrived and messed everything up, I was so frustrated and angry.I was furious at my mother for setting things up with Lucy and I was even more furious that Lucy was now living at my house and there was nothing I could do about it. My anger at Lucy couldn’t stay at the surface for long because Amelia was like a magnet. She was my kryptonite and she managed to drag my attention no matter how far in my thoughts I was buried. Her silence was loud and her words were even louder.No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t help but be pulled and sucked into her world and axis. Speaking to her reminded me of being a teenager again and t
AMELIA’S P.O.VI was having the most blissful dream about being in an ethereal garden with a beautiful horizon and water as bright as crystals. I don’t remember exactly what I was doing but then I started to hear Clara’s voice. At first I was so confused and I looked around hoping to see her but she was nowhere to be seen. All of a sudden, I woke up and the remnants of my dream were washed away by the awareness of reality.I looked around for Clara thinking she was in my room but my room was empty and my door was still shut. I began to think that I had imagined her voice in my dream when suddenly I heard her voice as clear as day in my head.“Wake up,” she said over and over again and I was confused for a few seconds.I thought I was imagining it all when suddenly yesterday’s events settled in my brain and I remembered that Kaden added me to the mind link. I let out a sigh of relief when I realized that I wasn’t actually going crazy.“I’m awake,” I responded in my heads I wiped the re
