Chapter 99

AMELIA’S POV

Walking to I and Donald’s usual meeting spot in the dimly lit alley near the border of Moon Shadow, a sense of anticipation fluttered in my chest. Even though the Queen Mother hadn’t explicitly instructed me to meet him, it was an unspoken agreement between us that we would meet at our secret meeting place whenever possible.

However, as I approached the alley, my heart sank at the sight of an empty, desolate street. Donald was nowhere to be seen, and a sense of disappointment washed over me. I had been looking forward to our meeting for one reason or the other.

But as I took a step forward, the dull ache of

my recent injuries reminded me of my limitations. My journey to the alley had been slow and arduous, my movements hampered by the lingering pain that coursed through my body. I knew that I couldn’t afford to overexert myself, lest I risk aggravating my injuries further.

With a resigned sigh, I leaned against the cool stone wall of the alley, feeling a wave of exhaustion wash over me.

Closing my eyes, I took a moment to collect my thoughts and center myself, drawing strength from within. Donald would understand my absence, I reassured myself, knowing that he would never want to see me in pain or distress.

And so,

with a heavy heart and a sense of regret, I turned away from the empty alley and began the slow journey back to my residence.

“Amelia” The voice I so much wanted to hear called my name and my heart fluttered. My wolf was very happy to hear that very voice as she whined inside me.

“Donald?” I turned swiftly to face him and he ran over to meet me.

“I’ve been waiting for a while now. I only turned to see if I’ll possibly set my eyes on you. Luckily, here you are.”

“I’m sorry I delayed you. Something came up.” I tried to smile, hoping that he wouldn’t see through me.
