LOGIN~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~I lay there in his bed, in his shirt now because he had apparently changed me at some point while I was too tired to properly resist, and stared at the canopy above me like an exhausted queen after a particularly violent coronation.When Kaden came back, he had a tray in one hand and the expression of a man on a mission.Soup.

~Amelia~The first thing I did after becoming Kaden’s mate was throw up in a bush.So if anyone had a prettier version of how mating ceremonies were supposed to end, good for them. Mine ended with blood on my dress, my new mate holding my hair back, and me dry heaving into expensive pack land while the moon goddess probably looked down and decided she had seen enough for one night.
KADEN’S P.O.VMy mind felt like it was being split open, like someone had put their hands into my skull and was trying to tear my brain in two. Everything burned, everything hurt and it felt like I was watching from outside of my body as my own hands choked the life out of her. I couldn’t move, could
AMELIA’S P.O.VI tried to ignore the pang of pain in my chest knowing that it was a stranger who was helping me and not my mate who was meant to be by my side through it all. First it was acute embarrassment that someone had to see me like this, helpless and without anyone to turn to. It brought back
KADEN’S P.O.VI knew the minute I left Amelia that I shouldn’t have but I just couldn’t force my legs to move back towards her. There was so much that I wanted to tell her but how could I? The minute my memories started to come back on their own, I knew I was screwed. How did I tell the woman I calle
I was in the kitchen fixing up breakfast the next day. Kaden sat at the dining table, his eyes fixed on the newspaper in front of him, but I could feel his agitation from where I was.I could practically see the frustration radiating off him as he tried in vain to focus, his attempts punctuated by th
