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

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

AMELIA’S P.O.VDevin’s words settled like lead in the room but I couldn’t bring myself to believe it. As soon as the words left his lips, I started to laugh. Laughing proved to be difficult because it only intensified the ache in my bones but it was all I could think to do. I didn’t fully understand the concept of shifting because father never explained to me. He told me that I didn’t have a wolf so I didn’t deserve to learn but I knew it had to do with finding my wolf and I didn’t think it was possible anymore.At some point I had just come to terms with the fact that I might never have a wolf but hearing Devin say that I might be shifting had reignited a lost sense of hope that I had even forgotten I had. I stared at him after my laughter had died down with wide and hopeful eyes and Pamela walked over to him.She pulled him off to the side and I saw them engage in a serious discussion. I couldn’t hear what they were saying properly but I heard my name and I heard the word shift used

AMELIA’S P.O.V It felt like hours had passed since I had started to feel weak. My fever was worsening a little and I could feel it. It felt like my head was on fire and I felt so weak, almost like someone had run me over with a tractor and left me for dead on the side of the road. I couldn’t move a single limb and I knew the moment I opened my eyes that I was dreaming because I was back in my old pack. I was in my closet sized bedroom and I was sitting on my old and worn sheets. I wasn’t in the same clothes that I fell asleep in. I was in one of my more common outfits from home. It was a faded grey dress with brown leather slippers. My hair was in a braid over my shoulder and I knew I didn’t have the energy to do it myself. Even in my dream, I was completely weak and it felt like a chore to get up from the bed but I managed to do it. I had to brace my hands on the wall and the dresser so I wouldn’t fall over and my legs felt so shaky, almost like they hadn’t been used in a very long

AMELIA’S P.O.VWhen Blake leaned down to kiss me, my first thought was to turn my head to the side and avoid his kiss. I was angry with him for leaving me. I was angry with him for keeping me in the dark about everything. I wanted to know how long he had been aware of the plans my father and Brittany had against me. I wanted to know why he felt so comfortable with leaving me. I was furious but I couldn’t bring myself to pull away from him.There was something comforting and familiar about his touch. There was something warming about his hold and I couldn’t help but just lie there and allow him press his lips to mine. Even if I wanted to, I was too weak to push him away and so I did nothing.I barely had time to process his lips on mine when the door flew open and Kaden appeared. He was drenched by the rain and his clothes were wrinkled as if he had put them on in a hurry. His body was dripping wet and his hair was plastered to his forehead. At first there was shock on his face but it
