AMELIA’S P.O.VI am almost embarrassed at how quickly I rushed out of the room when Clara arrived. She was still barefooted and she smiled softly at me as she shut the door behind her. As we walked through the office walls, I took my time to really admire the expensive interior of the place. Clara led me to her car and as soon as the doors were shut and I was sure we were far away from Kaden and his super Alpha hearing that I know every Alpha possesses, I turned to Clara.“Kaden was nicer than I thought he would be,” I admitted and she turned to me with an amused smile. “I thought he would be upset for disrespecting him at the lake earlier but he told me it was fine.” “I knew there was nothing to worry about,” Clara said softly. “Kaden can be scary sometimes but he is a fair leader. You did absolutely nothing wrong.”“I was just expecting to be punished,” I mumbled. “Also, I’m sorry to be such an inconvenience. I know you’re taking on a lot by having me stay with you.”
KADEN’S P.O.VClara had been giving me updates on Amelia’s progress at the house. She texted me when she took a bath and when she ate dinner. My skin itched to see her and to find out how she was doing. The texts weren’t enough for me and I wanted to see her for myself and see how she was doing. When Clara told me that she was asleep, I instantly got into my car and drove to their house.I knew what I was doing felt crazy but I needed to see her. It was already difficult for me to know that she wouldn’t be living under my roof but I needed to see her to make sure that she was fine. Their house is a twenty minute drive from the pack office but I got there in under ten. I probably broke every single speed limit and road safety rule known but I couldn’t bring myself to care.I knocked on the door and it took a few minutes before someone pulled it open. My skin itched with anticipation as the door finally swung open. Clara stood there in a robe with wet hair but I couldn’t be bothered to
AMELIA’S P.O.VI woke up feeling better and more rested than I have in a very long time. I freshened up in the bathroom and I exited the room to find Clara standing in my room. She led me to her room and to her wide closet so I could pick an outfit for myself. I teared up at the fact that she gave me a choice which is something I haven’t had in a very long time.I chose a simple blue floral dress that flowed to my mid thighs. It had thick straps tied into bows and although it was a bit free on my body, it still showed off the curve of my hips especially because the torso had a corset like look and really cinched my waist in.“This dress looks better on you than it ever has on me,” Clara mused as she took me in. “You look absolutely beautiful.”My cheeks warmed at the comment and I found it hard to look her in the eye. The only person who had ever called me beautiful was Blake and I always thought he was lying but to hear someone else say it brought a warm feeling into my chest and a s
AMELIA’S P.O.VClara drove me to the front of a really large building. It had glass walls but I couldn’t see the inside and she explained to me that they were one way mirrors. There was a scary looking guard in front of the doors screening people who went in and my skin prickled at the thought of having to even speak to him.During the drive, she had explained the basic breakdown of the things I would have to do. She said I would have to meet a woman at the desk who would just ask for my details and issue me a new identity card. She would have to ask some invasive questions about my family but for my safety and comfort, they had called her in advance so I could have the interview in a quiet place without people eavesdropping.“Unfortunately, I can’t go in with you,” Clara said and I shot her a wide eyed look.What does she mean? I’m not sure if I can do this by myself. The very thought of stepping out of this car is terrifying. I know I am safe but I can’t help but feel like everyone
KADEN’S P.O.VI was so annoyed at the fact that I had been called away from Amelia. It grated on my nerves because I had spent all of last night thinking of a way that I could spend more time with her without raising suspicions and I had finally found one.I don’t know the name of the woman who was interviewing Amelia but I made a mental note to give her a bonus for putting up with my outrageous demands. She knows there is no physical test and I have never gone into that office to check on their work before. The only reason I was there was because of Amelia. The woman looked so confused and she looked like she had stepped out into an alternate universe but she still played along.For a second I thought she wouldn’t understand and would slip up but she remained professional throughout and Amelia will never know that all of that is just so I can spend time with her.I got to my office and pushed open the door only to see that it was already occupied. My mother was seated on the couch so
AMELIA’S P.O.VAfter I left the building, I didn’t know where else to go. Clara had told me that she would be back to pick me up in the evening but until then, I decided to roam the pack and try to sort out the multitude of thoughts that were swarming my brain.I walked down the streets and I passed an ice cream van. I wanted to get some but I realized I had no money and it brought back to the forefront of my mind that I needed to get a job. I need to be able to do things by myself without depending on anyone. I am no longer at home where my status could get me little things.I let out a sigh as I realized that life as I know it had completely changed. I would probably never see Blake again. Just thinking about him brought a pang of longing to my chest. Regardless of everything that happened, I still miss him and want him around. He did warn me about everything which means he must still have some feelings for me.If he truly didn’t care for me then he would probably have never warned
AMELIA’S P.O.VThe bomb that Clara dropped played in my head the entire ride. Those boys would be with me at every second of every day. There would be no Clara to save me then so I would need to be able to defend myself. The truth is that I’m not sure if I can do it. I am sure they have been training since they were children and I have never even stepped onto a training mat in my entire life. Would it really matter how long or how hard I train? They would always be able to beat me.“You’ll be fine,” Clara assured me and that was when I realized that I was talking out loud. I flushed pink and she gave me a small smile. “Don’t worry about it, are you ready?” “Ready for what?” I asked and she laughed softly.“To get your car of course.”I looked up and realized that we were in front of a large auto repair shop. I didn’t realize it was an auto repair shop because of how prim and proper it looks. The building had cream walls and glass windows that prevented me from looking inside. W
KADEN’S P.O.VMy irritation was growing with each passing second. I was irritated that I had to go on that godsforsaken date with that girl. She was about as interesting to watch as drying cement. She could barely even hold a simple conversation and she kept trying to throw herself at me. I wanted nothing more than to get up and walk right out of that restaurant but I knew mother would never let me hear the end of it.I spent the entire time thinking about Amelia and her scent and how soft her hair felt beneath my fingers. I thought about how peaceful she looked while sleeping and all the things I wanted to do to her. That was the only way I was able to get through that nightmare. I thought about her so much that for a split second when I was leaving the restaurant, I could have sworn that I actually smelled her scent but I knew it was impossible because I looked around and I couldn’t see her.I felt a pressure at the back of my mind meaning someone wanted to mind link me and I put my
