AMELIAI wished I had not attended my mother's burial. On that day, I was supposed to bid farewell to the one person who had always been there for me, my mother, but someone robbed me of that moment.Her battle with cancer had been fierce, but in the end, it claimed her, leaving me alone in this world.My mother had dedicated her life to serving the Midnight Crescent Alpha, an ancient and powerful werewolf pack. She worked hard to keep the Alpha's household running smoothly, and I admired her dedication. It was a life I knew well, having grown up in the pack, and I understood the importance of loyalty to one's pack leader. The funeral was meant for the pack members to pay tribute to my mother, who dedicated herself to the Midnight Crescent.Mrs. Rowland, one neighbor, climbed the podium to give a heartfelt eulogy, "Your mother was such an amazing woman, she was…" she suddenly trailed off at the screeching sound of Alpha Hector's car.My heart pounded, and I, along with everyone else

_ THREE YEARS LATER _AMELIA I was setting the dining table for a formal dinner, a routine I had done several times that I had become an expert at.I raised the back of my hand to clean the bead of sweat on my forehead, cleaning my dirty, sweaty hand on the side of my apron. It was never cold for me, even in the cold environment. The constant cleaning, sweeping, throwing the trash and arranging the dining had taken a toll over my body.Or maybe it was the dirt. I only ever shower once a day and that was in the morning. I was always too tired to remember to shower at night. The clothes also given to me were old maids' clothes, and I only got three pairs. I had to wash them every two days or else I'd wear smelly clothes, but no matter how hard I washed, the kitchen smell stayed on the cloth like a perfume.I couldn't even recognize my voice because nobody talked to each other. You would think that since we're all servants in this miserable place, we would come together and be friends,

AMELIAThe atmosphere in the room tensed as the golden-eyed man approached us. Zayn released his grip on me, his eyes narrowing with a mix of surprise and displeasure at the sight of the man.The man’s gaze locked onto Zayn, his golden eyes gleaming with intensity. It was as if the air itself recognized the authority exuding from the golden-eyed man, and now as I met his gaze I noticed how handsome he looked. I could not help but stare at him with my lips parted. The light in the corridor made his face, hair, and eyes look even more attractive by casting flattering shadows. Damn! Moon Goddess, why didn’t you make him my mate? Why did you have to give me such a vile man as a mate? I groaned inwardly.“I said, let go of my mate,” the golden-eyed man repeated, his voice echoing with a power that needed no argument.Zayn, torn between anger and curiosity, finally released me. I stumbled back a few steps, my eyes never leaving the man. Zayn couldn’t help but feel a surge of frustration a

AMELIAAtlas didn't struggle with the guards. He remained quiet as they dragged us both to the dungeon. At first, I had tried to struggle with them, but I realized that struggling with them would only get me into more trouble.We walked down the hallway and made a few turns as we got deeper into the mansion, the lights slowly fading into darkness.I was unfamiliar with this section of the mansion. The walls had scratches and a distinct smell of blood as we ascended the stairs to an underground dungeon.A long hall appeared, with cells on either side. Some servants I hadn't seen in months and unfamiliar faces sat on the bare floor, looking lifeless.The bodyguard put us in a cell, locked it with a padlock, and gave Atlas clean clothes to wear as he only had a jacket over his shoulder covering his nakedness.Atlas reached for the cloth on the floor, removing the jacket covering his nakedness. I turned quickly, not wanting to see him change. I heard him chuckle lightly at my action, but

ATLASShe stared at me, waiting to give her an explanation, but I had none.She sneered, walked to the end of the cell, and sat on the floor. A worried look plastered on her face as she curled her knees up, burying her head in her knee.I wondered what was going on in that mind of hers. Maybe if I told her who I was, then I would keep her mind at ease, but wouldn’t that be dangerous? Being my mate didn’t erase the fact that I didn’t know who she was and if she was on Zayn’s side and not mine, it was best to keep it to myself for now. I walked opposite her, sitting on the floor and staring at her. It was going to be a long day and worse, a long night if the bodyguards didn’t come back to inform us of Alpha Hector’s decision. I grabbed the jacket the bodyguard offered me earlier to cover me and tossed it towards her. “here, you might get cold,” I said to her. She raised her head, grabbing the jacket with a frown on her face. “Don’t act like you care,” she sneered, tossing the jacket
