AMELIA’S P.O.VAfter I left the building, I didn’t know where else to go. Clara had told me that she would be back to pick me up in the evening but until then, I decided to roam the pack and try to sort out the multitude of thoughts that were swarming my brain.I walked down the streets and I passed an ice cream van. I wanted to get some but I realized I had no money and it brought back to the forefront of my mind that I needed to get a job. I need to be able to do things by myself without depending on anyone. I am no longer at home where my status could get me little things.I let out a sigh as I realized that life as I know it had completely changed. I would probably never see Blake again. Just thinking about him brought a pang of longing to my chest. Regardless of everything that happened, I still miss him and want him around. He did warn me about everything which means he must still have some feelings for me.If he truly didn’t care for me then he would probably have never warned

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.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.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

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
