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
KADEN’S P.O.VIt had become a routine for me to visit Caleb’s house once I knew that Amelia was asleep. Clara was so used to my presence that when I knocked on the door last night, she just opened it and side stepped me. Even Pamela and Devin were used to seeing me around and when I walked in, Devin just smiled at me softly before retreating to his room.I already knew the way to her room and I knew the way around her room but I needed to make sure she was deeply asleep because according to Clara, if you bothered her within the first thirty minutes of her falling asleep then she would wake up. Anything after that was fine but those first thirty minutes were crucial and I didn’t want her to wake up and see me in her room.She would freak out and probably be more terrified of me than she already was. I knew what I was doing was considered weird by many standards but I didn’t know how to stay away from her. I was trying my best by staying away from her when she was awake and giving her t
AMELIA’S P.O.VI was so deep in thought wondering what Kaden could possibly want from me when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I jumped slightly and Serena looked at me with raised brows. She must have thought that I was crazy and all I could do was offer her a small smile.“We have about an hour before the next class,” she began slowly. “I wanted to know if maybe you wanted to get some coffee from the café. It might help you stay awake longer.”I nodded and walked out of class with her. We walked side by side in silence but to my surprise there was nothing awkward or tense about the silence. It was rather comforting and when we got to the student settlement, she led me to a café that I had never been to.“They have the best things here,” she said and I chose to believe her because I knew she has been in the pack longer than me. “Why don’t I buy you a drink,” I offered. “Seeing as you brought me here.”I dug through my bag to find some cash and I muttered a curse when I realized t
GREGORY’S P.O.VBrittany was silent next to me as I drove into the Dark Fangs territory. I have never been here before and I was still reeling from the insult of the last time I was here and wasn’t allowed to cross the territory. I knew it was because the Alpha didn’t know me and I had come unannounced but it didn’t make it any less of an insult to be turned away like a commoner.When I received the offer, I almost declined it but I realized that the business I had to conduct was a lot more important than my pride so I shoved down every feeling I had in relation to the situation and accepted. I immediately wanted Brittany to come with me even though I knew how unusual it was.On diplomatic missions, it is advisable to carry your Beta but there is no one I trust more than Brittany. She was the only one who knew the true reason we had to come and I also wanted to teach her an important lesson about dealing with other Alpha’s for when she becomes ruler of the pack.I could feel Brittany’
