AMELIAClutching on to the cold bar, I desperately pleaded with the guard standing by my cell, "Let me out! Why are you keeping me here?" My words fell on deaf ears, and the other prisoners making a run for the exit door seemed to mock my desperation.The ceiling vibrated with the sounds of hurried footsteps and distant screams. I looked up at the ceiling, as it seemed it would give way at any moment, but it didn't. Panic coursed through my veins at the uncertainty of what was going on or what was going to happen to me. He said I was his mate, yet he decided to keep me locked up in here. I knew he wasn't my mate; he was just a liar.As the commotion escalated, I pressed against the iron bars, "Please, you have to tell me what's going on!"The guard's stern look wavered for a moment, but he refused to meet my gaze. He either didn't know or he didn't want to speak to me. Frustration bubbled within me at his silence. I gritted my teeth, closing my eyes and opening it as I furrowed my b

ATLASAs Amelia’s consciousness faded away, I watched her body fall into Enzo’s grasp as he carried her over his shoulder.“What the hell are you going to do to her?” Zayn asked as Enzo carried Amelia out of the office. “She is my mate now. I can do whatever I deem fit.”“Please, she doesn’t deserve any of this, and neither do I.” his desperate plea hung in the air, but I felt nothing for him. “Please spare me. My father was the one who attacked your pack, not me.” His eyes bore into mine, but I remained silent.Standing up from the chair, I gave a subtle nod to my men, a silent command that they knew too well. As I left the room, walking out of the mansion, the cool night air greeted me. The air was cool against my skin as I stepped out of the mansion. The moon hung in the sky, shining a white light over the land. I gazed at it with a blank stare, my expression disguising the thoughts swirling within.Inwardly, a quiet satisfaction swelled my heart. Alpha Hector, the obstacle tha

AMELIA My heart raced as I followed the maids through the grand corridors of the mansion. My eyes absorbed the details of the mansion’s interior, off white colors adorned the walls.It was nothing like Alpha Hector’s mansion, which looked old. There was a big painting of Atlas and what seem to be his family hanging on the wall with other unusual paintings.I trailed behind the maids, my mind clouded by what Atlas had said in the car. The Blood Moon pack? Was he really serious? He was the Alpha of the Blood Moon pack? But the pack had seized to exist years ago. After the war, rumors were circulating of the end of the pack. Even though some people still identified under the pack, over time, people feared to even mention the pack's name in public.Was he saying the truth, or he only said that to scare me? But if he was speaking the truth, what would that mean for me, Midnight Crescent pack had been the one who started the war against them.Would I be safe here? I needed to get out of

AMELIAI paced the room once Atlas left, trying to figure out my next course of action. With a reluctant sigh, I decided to attend the banquet. It was the only option I had right now. I walked over to the bed, pulling the rope Ethel had told me to pull if I needed her. I pulled it twice and stood by the bed, waiting patiently for her to appear. It didn’t take long when a knock fell on the door as Ethel entered with a respectful nod. “I saw the light flash. Is there anything you need?” She asked, looking at me.“I will be attending the banquet,” I said in a low voice, not certain if I was making the right choice. “Oh, that is lovely. Why don’t you freshen up while I arrange what you will wear?” Ethel smiled, going to the wardrobe while I stepped into the bathroom. As I stepped into the bathroom, I felt the cold tiles beneath my feet. Stripping away my clothes, I placed them into the empty basket.Turning on the shower, I grabbed the bottle of shampoo, applied it to my hair, and was

AMELIAShock etched across my face. What did he mean by that? If this was a setup, why was he still allowing the banquet to hold? Before I could process it fully, he smoothly twirled me around as the music gracefully came to an end.As the music faded, Atlas took a step back alongside the men on the dance floor. He stared at me while the rest bowed their heads to the dancer. Wasn't he going to bow as well? Right! He was the Alpha. I bowed my head slightly to him as one of Atlas's bodyguards swiftly approached, handing him a microphone.With a commanding presence, Atlas gaze left mine and faced everyone. "Ladies and gentlemen, please find your seats and indulge in the delights of this splendid banquet," he announced, effortlessly steering the crowd's attention away from whatever they were doing.They all bowed their head to him and made their way to their seat."Shall we?" Atlas asked returning the microphone to the guard and grabbing my hand in his before I could answer.Navigating
