She jerked up from the bed, panting heavily. Her nightie was soaked in sweat, her heart racing faster than ever. She took in several breaths trying to calm herself down. It wasn't working, she was having mini panic attack. She placed her hand on her chest, trying to take in deep heavy breaths. "Hey, easy, easy." She flinched a little when she felt a big palm on her shoulder, rubbing it gently. She took a deep breath slowly as he rubbed her back soothingly. "Thank you." She whispered timidly when she was finally able to catch her breath. Leaning down on the headboard, she stared around the room, wondering what time it might be. It was plain dark outside, it might probably be midnight. She closed her eyes and took in several breaths, trying to remember what happened previously. Ana. That betrayer. It's hard to believe she tried to kill her. Amelia had left the garden and headed straight to her room, pained and angry. She had gone to sleep after crying. She wasn't supposed to be c

"Alpha, Winter. Winter has been poisoned." Amelia heard a loud bang in her ears when he said those words. Her heart skipped a beat and shivers repeatedly ran down her spine in a second. "What do you mean? How did it happen?" She asked, rushing her words as she walked closer to him. "We don't know. Maybe we're not sure." He looked very confused. Well, who wouldn't be? How could the little girl be poisoned? "Where is she?" Sebastian hurriedly grabbed his jacket, putting it on. "She's downstairs." Ralph replied hurriedly. "She was brought here?" Sebastian turned to look at him sharply. "No, she's been at the palace before she was poisoned." Ralph replied, twitching his lips. "Spill it Ralph." Sebastian could easily sense there was something else he had to say. "We found out she had taken food from Loretta." What?! Amelia looked between the two, not saying a word. Loretta couldn't poison the little girl. No she couldn't. There must be a mistake. The look of shock on Sebastian's f

The castle was usually silent. Even the slightest drop of a needle could be heard in the entire palace. Even the entire village was silent and cold. The atmosphere was dull and filled with sorrow. Amelia walked down the stairs, her footsteps echoing unusually around the castle. There were no guards or maids around. It was dead silent. There was not even one single person around. She stood when the reached the foot of the stairs, staring around to see if anyone would walk in. Her heart began beating unusually fast, the eerie silence was making her scared. She heaved out a small breath and turned to the left, heading to the room where Winter slept. She had put it on her mind to see her, immediately she wakes up this morning. It wouldn't be good if she was left lonely. She smiled, looking at the cup of tea she had made for her in her hands. She was sure she'd love it. Walking into the room, her brows knitted together in confusion when she couldn't find her. Where could she be? The b

The moment he stepped into the borders of the pack he sensed that something was wrong. It was dead silent. He couldn't even hear the usual distant noises of the market. It was strange and almost felt like he missed his way and wasn't where he was supposed to be. Walking into the pathway leading to the village, his footsteps echoed around, coupled with the rattling noise of leaves on the ground. He walked past the guards standing at the border, his brows knitted in confusion at the weird atmosphere. Something was wrong. This doesn't happen in the pack, only when a member- he stopped abruptly on hjs tracks. Only when a member of the pack dies. What the hell happened here? Without wasting any more time, he began walking faster. Who could've died? The alpha's human mate? No, they did not plan on killing her soon. But what if she was the one. The quietness of the village made him know it was someone very important or precious to the pack that died. Well, there was only one way to f

"No, no. We can't tell Sebastian about it." Amelia opposed, shaking her head vehemently. "We can't, it's gonna ruin everything." "Then what do we do?" Rieka asked, stretching both arms out. She just came up with a suggestion of telling Sebastian about Ana. That was the only thing she could think of. He was the alpha, it'd be better if he handles this. He was surely wiser than they are. "Come up with a good plan. Like you said." She replied and ran her fingers through her hair, heaving out a deep heavy sigh before adding. "A good plan that doesn't involve telling Sebastian." She rolled her eyes as she said those words. "Like?" Rieka folded her arms and quirked her brows, staring at Amelia with a dry look on her face. "I suspect Ana very much. I think she has a lot we don't know of, going in her freaking head." Amelia explained, looking exasperated. Frustrated. Anyone, name it. It was hard keeping up with Winter's death. She wanted to speak again but stopped and looked around cauti
