Amelia’s POV
I woke up with a light knock at my door.
I know it’s mom and it looks like she’s bringing food with her.
Again.
Toast with scrambled egg and a glass of orange juice. My favorite.
The door opened and I slowly got up and leaned my back to the headboard of my bed.
“Good morning sweetheart. How are you feeling?”
She put the tray of food at the bedside table and touched my forehead.
My eyes are focus with the food she brought as it is exactly what I guess earlier.
Weird.
“Uhm.. I’m feeling better now mom, you don’t have to bring food to me every morning.” I look at mom hoping she will believe me.
“We’ll I figure you might still be sick since you didn’t come down for breakfast earlier. I’m going to run an errand and I don’t want to leave without making sure you eat. So here it is.” Motioning to the food she brought.
It’s been two weeks since my birthday and I had been feeling sick since.
The headache is gone but my body is really not what it is.
I’ve been feeling very hot lately even after a cold shower and I’ve also had a frequent body pain especially at night.
It had been worst last week and I’m glad I can manage the discomfort now.
I already went to the hospital to get a check up but everything came out normal.
I don’t want to cause anymore trouble with my parents so I decided to pretend everything is okay.
And I think I’m getting better anyway so no need to make this a big deal.
“Are you sure you’re going to move out today? I mean no need to rush El, we haven’t celebrated your graduation yet.
“Mom, I am way beyond my schedule in moving out already. It’s been days since I have planned to go but you keep on insisting to extend it. I really want to be independent now.” I tried to convince her with pleading eyes.
She sighs.
“Okay, but I’ll ask you once more. Are you really feeling better?”
“I’m perfectly fine. In fact I have plans with my girls right now so I better get ready before I get late.” I said enthusiastically as I get up the bed.
Mom got up too and walked to the door. She stopped and pointed at the breakfast she prepared for me.
“Be sure to eat your food before you go. And don’t forget to wash your plates since you are fine now.”
She winked at me before closing the door.
As if on que, my phone beeps and saw a chat from Melody, one of my best friend, that they are already on their way to the mall.
I look at the time indicated on my phone and silently cursed myself for waking up late.
It’s already 10 o’clock and I better get ready quick to avoid being yelled at.
I quickly took a shower, put on a denim jean and a plain white shirt and dash out of the room.
I took the food with me and shove it inside my mouth.
I can wash the plate when I get back. I giggled on the thought.
I hurriedly park my car and went inside the mall.
Melody and Jasmine are waiting for me in our favorite coffee shop so I went directly there.
“What took you so long?” Melody asks as I sit on the unoccupied space adjacent to her.
“Traffic.” Replied as I wave a waiter so I can order.
“Yeah right.” Jasmine playfully winked at me while sipping her coffee.
Shut up. I mouthed to her which makes us giggle silently.
As I said, Melody and Jasmine are my two closes and trusted friend. We were inseparable since primary school and college will be the very first time we will be apart from each other.
Melody is the most serious one in our group. She always sticks to schedule and hates wasting time. Therefore, she always gives me lecture about how precious her time is and for me to be considerate and be early for once.
Which I tried but unfortunately failed always.
Jasmin on the other hand is the happy go lucky one. She smiles a lot and always brings positive vibes to us.
And I am the introvert one who hates parties and wants to just stay at home all day and read books in the comfort of my room.
Us, being friends is a total mystery since we have different personalities and hobbies. But we have one thing in common though and this enables us to meet each other half-way, and that is our love for coffee.
“One cappuccino please.” I said to the waiter who jot down my order and hurriedly walk away.
“So, you’re moving out today?” Melody asked and I sense she already calmed down but her emotions were already clouded with sadness.
I know this is a sensitive topic for us because for the first time, we will be enrolling to a different school from a different country.
Melody will be pursuing her love for fashion so her family will be sending her to a fashion school in Paris while Jasmin will be enrolling in a business school in England.
I on the other hand will still be in this same old country though will be moving an hour drive from my small town.
I can’t afford to enroll in a fancy school so I will settle on a university located at the next city where I lived in. That’s okay with me since they have a great BS Psychology program and that’s what I’m after for.
“Yes. I am actually leaving this afternoon.”
There was a moment of silence between the three of us.
“We’ll I’m also leaving the day after tomorrow.” Jasmine said sadly.
“In that case I’ll be telling mom to book me a ticket to Paris then. This place doesn’t feel the same without you two.”
A sad smile crossed our face.
The waiter came with my order and I instantly sip it to refrain myself from crying.
I’m really gonna be missing this two.
After we chat about our future plans and the school we got in, we went for a quick shopping and have a girl time knowing that we won’t be doing this again anytime soon.
We bid goodbye at around 2 o’clock since I am still going to finish packing and of course spend the remaining hours with my family before leaving for college.
Amelia’s POVWhen I arrive home, everyone is there.Dad left work early saying he wants to see me before I go.Mom closed her flower shop for the afternoon and Trixie… well she’s always here since school had already ended a week ago.“You still have time for pizza, right?” Trixie’s head popped behind the door and gently opened it before stepping in.“Of course sis.” I said while putting the last set of clothes to my duffle bag.We went down the living room and enjoy the pizza with mom and dad.We talked and laugh and just making the most out of this simple moment with my f
“What…. What do you want?” at last I found the strength to speak.“I want you…” he pause and then stare at me with nothing but pure hatred.“….to suffer.” He finished his sentence and it made me shiver.“Why? I didn’t even know you.”“See? That’s the problem. You acting like you don’t know me puts you into this situation.” He seethed.“But I really don’t.” I tried to reason out.But before he could answer, a man had emerged at his side.And the man is also naked. Just great!“We have to go alpha.” He said to the man.“Nice meeting you, Luna.” He said to me and gave me a smile.“It’s Amelia, actually.” I&rsq
Dimitri’s POV I clench my jaw upon hearing what Keifer said. How dare him disrespect me like that. No body questions me and my actions. “Looks like your friend there is way logical than you.” she smirked while looking at me. She is really testing my patience. First, she acted like she don’t know me. Second, she keeps on throwing banters at me like she’s not affected at my threats to her. And now what? Mocking me? This made my blood boil. I opened the cell and pushed her inside. Max, my wolf, growled at me. He doesn’t agree to my decision of rejecting our mate. He’s hurt, but I know he’s gonna accept it soon. “You must be taking good care of her and not putting her in this godamm place.” He wants to take over now but I tried hard not to gi
Dimitri’s POVKeifer motion us to sit and so we did. He stayed at the center of the room before explaining his data.“Five months ago, Sebastian and I are working on something when we come across a data from our thermal imaging system. It caught an unusual activity of something that would often visit the place near our secret entrance.” He pause while showing as a number of images from the system.It was just a shade of orange and red and of a shape of a person.“At first we didn’t think anything of it except that it might be a passerby, or someone who got lost in the forest and was just trying to look for a way out. It also didn’t alarm us since the person’s body index is of a normal range with humans.”This is the main reason why we use Thermal Imaging in the human borders because it will be easier for
I was once again woken up with the sudden pain in my body.I automatically clutch my stomach and tried hard to suppress a scream but my effort was futile.I screamed loud and heard heavy footsteps.The door of my cell suddenly opened and again, the guards emerge.“Get the Alpha now.” He said to the other guard.He quickly run outside after receiving the order.“Listen, just let your wolf take control. It will be much painful if you fight it.”I feel very hot inside, I can’t explain it.Its like I’ve been burned alive.“I..I don’t… know how.. aaaaahhhhh.”“Just breathe and empty your mind. Let your wolf take control of your body.” He said in a calm voice.“Listen to him Ell. Please relax and let me take over. I don&r
Amelia’s POV“You’ll stay here with me until I decide what I am going to do with you.”I was hesitant at first but decided it will be the best for me to stay with him.I need to learn more about myself and he will be a great help to me.And besides, he makes me and my wolf feel relaxed even if he treats me bad.Amari, my wolf, had mentioned that during the time that I shifted and the Alpha touched me, she got to communicate with his wolf.He told her about us being mates and that we have this thing called a mate bond that is responsible for our attraction to each other.That makes sense because right now, I was captivated by the way he looks at me.Our first encounter during my party was normal, except for the strong scent that he had.Our second meeting was a bit weird because I felt all giddy and bu
“Then you suffer.”He then went and lay down in bed with his back facing me.At first, I don’t know what he means when he said the word suffer.But then Amari explained to me that when a mate rejects you, it will cause a great amount of pain and it will break your heart every single day.Even from the start, he really wants me to suffer.“Not if you accepted his rejection.”Amari said sadly.“We won’t accept it Amari.” I assured her.I saw a glint of hope in her eyes.“Really?”“Yes! We won’t give up on him easily. You said yourself, we only got one chance of having a mate in this lifetime. I don’t want to live a mate less life.”She
Chapter 13Days go by and I am almost getting used to my routine.Almost.I wake up every morning alone.Eat my breakfast alone.Then stayed on the couch until noon.Cook and eat my lunch.Go back to the couch until it’s time to cook for dinner.Go to bed at nine o’clock, then do it all over again.And to top it all, Sky never talked to me or even give me a single glance.We barely see each other and I can’t help but think that he might be avoiding me.This is a never-ending torture.“Hey.” I heard him yell behind me while I wash the dishes I use during breakfast.I don’t know if it was meant for me but since there is no one else around, I turned around and see him standing looking at me.“My name is Amelia
