Could Amelia's one mistake get her into trouble or would it go unseen? You'll have to read on to find out...
Amelia realized that she had so much to learn about pack law and felt rather ashamed at what she’d done. The last thing that she would want was to anger the Alpha. He had been so kind to her and allowed her to stay in the compound in the first place. As she walked around the crowd she seemed to seek Jax and Blake out. She couldn’t help herself. She easily picked up their cinnamon and sandalwood scents, even though there were so many scents in the room. Both elicited feelings within her, feelings she wasn’t yet ready to explore for she didn’t know what they were. They intrigued her. They were each so different yet both had such a profound effect on her. Amelia spent most of the evening with her mother, speaking with the other Salutaries. There luckily happened to be one her age. Her name was Catherine and she was absolutely beautiful. Flawless. And the beauty of it all was that she was blissfully unaware of it. She was quiet and kept mostly to herself, not wanting to be caught up in a
Stephanie didn’t stay with Amelia when Jax walked away. She simply gave Amelia a dirty look and sauntered off to her little click of friends. Swaying her hips as she walked.Amelia could just see from her body language that she was the leader of that click. She spoke to her friends very animatedly. Arms and hands flew in the air, with a lot of head shaking going on. The next thing Amelia heard was her name being mentioned and then the entire click looked back at Amelia laughed and gave her death stares. Amelia just knew that that click would mean trouble and made a mental note of staying as far away from them as possible. Enemies were the last thing that she needed, especially because she was the newbie of the pack.Jax and Stephanie were, in her eyes, an item. If only she’d known. She would never come between Jax and his mate. She’d already been warned by her mother that that was frowned upon by their Alpha and the last thing that Amelia wanted was to piss Blake off. Especially afte
Amelia decided it was time to make a beeline home. The last thing that she needed was a run-in with the ‘it’ girl of the pack. She touched her wound which had begun throbbing. She still couldn’t believe how her life had changed in a matter of just one bite. But it was something that she now had to accept, there was nothing that she could do about it. “I was waiting for you to come over and tell me that you’re leaving,” said Lucia as she smiled, bent forward, and hugged her daughter goodbye, “take another dose of the medicine as soon as you get home. It’s best that you rather get back and go and rest. Tomorrow is another busy day for you here in the pack. Tomorrow you get introduced to the training for the Omega rank that you will join the pack as. It is best that you get to know the other Omegas as soon as possible, that way you can make some friends and better settle into the pack.” Fear overtook Amelia and she began to visibly shake. If only her mother knew what went down between
Jax meandered back to the hall. He was in no mood to be a part of the festivities now that Amelia had left but he had to stay until the end. It was expected of him as the Second. He’d barely entered the hall when Stephanie, the fiery redhead, was at his side. “What do you want now?” he asked not even trying to act interested in a conversation with her. He’d been watching her throw herself at every Beta to try and find a mate. Something that she would never get right with him. Straight after she tried with Blake. “Can’t I just come over to say ‘Hi’ again? Is it such a crime?” she fluttered her eyes at him and he had to stop himself from doing an eye-roll. She was so fake and he saw straight through it. “I don’t have time for idle chit-chat. Especially after the stunt you pulled earlier. I would prefer it if you didn’t touch me as you had earlier. It is unnecessary and embarrassing for you. You know how I feel about you. There will never be an ‘us’, so please remember that,” said Jax
“Any news about the Staint Claire pack?” Asked Conner, Alpha of the Olden pack. “No Alpha, nothing to report yet. Their compound is shut tighter than ever before,” reported Christian, Connor’s Second. “We need to find a way in. They must have a weakness that we can exploit. This is really starting to piss me off!” Connor’s fits of anger made the windows in his cabin reverberate. “We’re trying out best, Alpha. We’re sending out our best Scouts but they come back with no news at all.” Christian hated giving Connor bad news. He knew that it would make Connor all riled up and riddle him with anger. “Then I’m going out there myself!” Shouted Connor, as he rose from his chair, pushing it so hard that it slammed into the cabin wall, “if you want something done right then you clearly have to do it yourself!” His face was blood red with anger. He had been waiting for so long for his Scouts to one day come back with good news. But nothing. They always came back empty-handed. Half of the pac
Connor was headstrong and put together the strongest hunting pack that he could. He obviously included Christian, his best Beta, as well as Pierce, his Second. The pack was stacked with their strongest wolves, but Pierce knew that they were no match for Blake’s. He just had to find a way of making sure that he didn’t get killed in the bloodbath that he was sure would ensue.Connor stayed at the compound. It was too risky for the Alpha to be out for in case a war began. Losing an Alpha would be catastrophic. There was no talking Connor out of the attack, Pierce tried but failed. They were going through with this attack come hell or high water. Connor was an Alpha on a mission.Pierce braced himself and left the camp with Connor, knowing what was waiting for them. Knowing that they were walking into a death trap.***Blake’s Hunters were readying themselves for a daily run. They patrolled the area around the compound at least twice a day and this was their morning run. They didn’t exp
The Olden pack limped into their compound. Battered and bruised. The poor first and second line went straight to their Salutary cabin. Pierce and Christian were immediately summoned to Connor’s cabin. “What the hell happened out there?” Asked Connor, his face as red as a beetroot. To say that he was angry would be an understatement. “How could we have lost to them yet again? Did you guys even try? I find it impossible that they beat us every single time we meet their Hunters. They aren’t made of rock, surely you did some harm to them?” Connor was out for blood and he wanted answers. “Our first and second line put up as best a fight as they could, Alpha.” Said Pierce, but he knew that he was going to get a tongue-lashing in any case. He always did. “Please tell me that we at least wounded some of their Hunters?” Asked Connor, as he hoped for a favorable answer. He ground his teeth waiting for the response. “No, Alpha, they were far too strong and outnumbered us three to one,” said
Blake’s Hunters came back with huge grins on their faces. “And what are those smiles all about?” Asked Jax as he exited Blake’s cabin, just in time to witness the Hunters arrive back to the compound. “Oh, do we have a story for you and our Alpha!” Said the leader of the Hunters. He and Jax made their way back into Blake's office. Jax was eager to hear the news. Blake sat at his desk pouring over maps of the forest and the various compounds. He liked to know where his enemies were at all times. He liked to be ready in case he needed to attack. He looked up to see a wicked grin on both Jax's and the lead Hunter’s faces. “And what are those grins all about? What happened out there” Asked Blake with a smile on his face. Blake sat back down in his chair and waited to hear all about the morning run. He was dying to know what had happened. The happy faces of Jax and the Hunter leader had him intrigued. “You’ll never guess who we met in the forest on our run today?” Said the leader. He
