JamesAfter the party, I had to help Amelia to William's car because I had too much to drink.While I had my back turned, she must have downed a whole glass of wine and poured herself more, because I didn't even notice that I was drinking that much. Only when she started laughing at what Alex was saying and leaning her head on the counter laughing so hard. Which, by the way, was an incredibly loud and infectious laugh. Until then I was enjoying it, but when she leaned her head on the counter and stayed there, I realized that she was already too tall.William, Alex, and the rest ended up trapping me in there with her for some reason I didn't know. Stanley and Sarah were long gone and I just wanted to fall into bed and pass out. I still had work to do tomorrow, and by the time we got home, it was late at night.I draped her arm over my shoulder and led her into Sarah's room. Which apparently was hers now. Amelia was all limp and squishy in my arms, completely different from the distant
SarahWhen Stanley parked, I asked them to get off first. I needed to have a word with Amelia first, as I noticed that she was very withdrawn and awkward around James. I didn't even see the two exchange a word this morning. Either she's confused, or James may have gone a little too far yesterday and tried something. I don't believe that was it, but I don't know how he would have handled it if he had actually recognized Amelia as his mate. So I need to ask her about it.When Stanley nodded and got out of the car with James, I turned to look at her in the backseat. Amelia looked back at me and then placed her hands between her knees."I wanted to ask you something. Do you mind?" I smiled taking the belt off."No, you can ask. Did I do something wrong?" She frowned."No, imagine! You're a sweet Amelia." I waved my hands. eyes."No, no, no! It wasn't that. James brought me from the party after I had too much to drink. He was a sweetheart, actually. It's just..." She looked away. he looks
AmeliaThe slap that Sarah had given had been a beautiful scene. For some reason I felt good, even though I didn't even know the woman James was pulling away from the wolf. Even I would pull the poor thing if I could. It looked like the redhead's dominance was going to swallow the girl by itself. I have to admit, I had to sit back because of it, but oddly enough, the situation was distracting me from recent thoughts since the fatality with my brother.I was trying to think of any place he could be right now, but my brother was probably a long way from the pack. However, thoughts about my brother were not the only ones, far from it. Time or another saw me diverting attention to others even more overwhelming. And they always ended up in the conversation I had with Sarah in the car.I rested my hand on my chin as I walked back to the table where I'd been before.The idea of having a mate was strangely welcome, but unrealistic. And the thought of James being mine was even more mind-bogg
JamesI was on the lookout to see if Sarah was really okay after everything that had happened. Before she lashed out at Rosaly for those rude words, I felt anger at her bubbling up in me a little too. That's what ended up slowing down my reflexes when it came time to stop Sarah. But now, looking at her finishing her shift, she looked pretty happy. I wanted to laugh at the stupid face she was making, but I went back to collecting the plates and glasses from the table. I'm glad everything got resolved. And on the other hand, I've been worried since Amelia left here. She seemed to have something on her mind, and it doesn't reassure me that she's been alone most of the day.It had started to snow that afternoon, and as Sarah and I walked home, it started to snow even more. The streets were already turning white and the cold was chilling."Do I need to ask if you're really okay?" I asked looking at Sarah huddled in her coat."Hm? Oh yeah. That was nothing. It just pissed me off to be insul
AmeliaI don't know who that guy was, but he seemed to be a longtime friend of James's, so I was willing to let him borrow my room indefinitely. It wouldn't be a problem for me.I looked at the couch.It wasn't even close to small, but for James, it was going to be one hell of an uncomfortable one. And since he has helped me a lot so far, I can do this for him.I went towards my room to get my pillow and blanket."No, of course you won't." He stepped in front of me."It's okay, James. I don't care. It's just a room." I walked past him and he was quiet.I grabbed my pillow and grabbed my blanket. When I came out, Stanley was already going to take Daniel by one arm and James was soon forced to take the other. His face made it clear that he was uncomfortable with the situation. Daniel wasn't a small guy, far from it, he was as big as the two of them. He must have been very heavy."You don't have to." James walked past me down the hall and I clapped him on the shoulder. The delicious smel
MarkI ended up getting a perfect grade on my biology homework. But not on my merits, it was completely Antony's. That since yesterday he was still cold with me and avoiding any chat that wasn't necessary. I left him alone and gave him space to get used to my "threatening and monstrous" presence that he must think of me. But until that didn't happen, I had Mandy who would always come and chat with me. And even though we talked about pretty much everything, I left out what had happened. I couldn't spread it to anyone else, even if I trusted her."Did you and Antony fight?" She asked me during the break. "I thought they were like meat and nails."We had a disagreement." I said."And why?" She smiled, probably seeing my "I don't want to talk about it" face."It was about work. No big deal. He's just... Stubborn." She heard me and seemed to accept it, as she shrugged uninterestedly."Got it. You'll be talking to each other soon." She looked around the courtyard. Blonde hair tied in a pony
Sarah"I can try to sneak in." I heard Amelia's voice at the door and turned around."No. Too risky." James said."I can try to get rid of the weapons. I know where they keep them. They're wolves, they won't want to keep that in their hands unless it's absolutely necessary." I looked at Stanley and realized he was really considering this stupid idea."She would be a chance." Stanley said getting up."What?" Me and James spoke together."Got to talk to my wolves about this." He walked over to me and placed a warm kiss on my lips before heading towards the door. "If they agree, we'll have a meeting with who goes and who stays." cell phone before leaving and the room was completely silent. I glanced at James and Amelia before heading off after Stanley. Is he really going to consider letting Amelia go down there in that lonely nest after she was attacked by her own brother? There has to be another way."Stanley." I called to him halfway down the hall and he looked back. "What if those lon
Amelia"What do you want?" "It's cold and the firewood is over." I said. The honest truth. And the truth I most enjoyed saying. "And you decided to sleep here." I nodded even though it wasn't a question. And I saw his hand tighten on the side of the door, “Come in.” He made room and waited for me to walk past him. When I did, he closed the door again, "Make yourself comfortable," He said simply and walked back to his bed. The temperature inside was already far more pleasant. I walked around the bed and climbed on the other side. James gave me a sideways look and pulled his blanket over him when I did the same. He turned to the other side and I wrapped myself in my blanket, moving closer to his back and placing his blanket over mine. "You're quite chilly, aren't you?" He grumbled. "I hate the cold. And my resistance is much lower in the winter." I decided to lean my forehead against his back and ended up inhaling his delicious scent. My heart was still beating fast, but I was doing m
