Amelia POV

I’m lying in my new bed admiring my ceiling. I’ve been awake for about an hour thinking about everything that happened yesterday. I can’t believe that I slept all the way till this morning. I knew I was tired but fifteen hours is a lot. “Star what do you think about Alpha Lincoln?” “I told you, I think he is hot.” “Be serious Star, I know he is handsome, but what about us trusting him.” “I don’t know Amelia but I feel drawn to him.” “I don’t understand it because we are still mated to that ba**ard Atlas but I trust him completely.” “Maybe its just being around a strong male wolf whose kind after Atlas’s betrayal.” “I know you don’t believe that Amelia.” “You felt something when he touched your hand.” “Star we are still mated to Atlas and that’s not possible to feel anything for another wolf.” “Anything is possible if the goddess says so” she says before she recedes into my mind. I push thoughts of Alpha Lincoln and what Star just said out of my mind and get up to shower. She’s wrong, I need to focus on myself and my pup. I head out of my room toward the kitchen when a knock sounds on the door. I stop in my tracks. After seeing those two wolves yesterday, I’m nervous even though I know how secure this place is.

I walk toward the door slowly and press my eye to the peep hole to look out. I see a smiling Lily. I didn’t expect her this early but she probably has work and I asked her to take me to get my car. I open the door and she is holding a plate full of Danish. “I brought breakfast” she says and walks past me. We head into the kitchen and I make both of us a cup of coffee. I set her cup down in front of her. I grab creamer from the refrigerator before I take a seat and grab a cheese Danish. “Are you alright Amelia” she asks. “I am, yesterday was just a lot to deal with and I needed to get a good night’s sleep.” We eat for a few minutes more and my curiosity gets the best of me. I want to understand Lily better. I can’t believe she left her coven just like I left my pack. “Can I ask you something Lily?” “Of course, you can.” “Why did you say that you ran away from your coven with John?” I see hurt flash across her face and I feel like an a**hole for even asking. “I’m sorry, you don’t need to tell me if it’s upsetting to you.”

Flashback

coven is much larger than ours and in order to keep our alliance they have requested you be given to their son as a chosen beloved.” I feel like I didn’t hear him correctly. “You will spend your birthday with your mother and I but the next day you will be taken to the Black Rose Coven.” I feel like I’m about to be sick. He can’t really be serious right now. “You’re giving me away?” “Lily, you’re not a child anymore, sometimes in life we have to make sacrifices for the good of the coven.” “You’re sacrificing me” I can feel the tears starting to stream down my face. “Does mom know that you’re doing this?” “Your mother has no say in this, it’s done.” “I will not be forced into a mating that I don’t agree with.” My father gets up and comes around the desk. He grabs my face in his hand squeezing my cheeks in his fingers. “You have mistaken that you have a choice, young lady.” “If you keep this up you won’t even spend your birthday here.” “Have I made myself clear?” I don’t respond. “Answer me now Lily or I will have the guards take you to the Black Rose Coven tonight.” “It’s clear” I manage to get out before I get up and head for the door. His words stop me with my hand gripping the handle. “Take solace in the fact that you are keeping the entire coven safe, Lily.”

straight to my room. My father will not use me as payment for this coven’s protection. I throw a bag on my bed and start to throw as many clothes as I can into it. A knock sounds on the door and my mother walks in. “Lily” she stops the minute she sees I’m packing. “Lily, what are you doing?” I turn to her and I’m sure my cheeks are still tear-stained. She rushes to me, pulling me into her arms. “Lily tell me what is happening.” I tell her everything my father just said to me.

She smiles but it doesn’t reach her eyes. “I will be fine,” she says as she picks up my bag after sticking something inside.” “John will be going with you and I want you both to stay safe.” “Once I get you through the coven shield you go as far as you can and find a human city to settle in.” “You will be safe there.” I wrap

me because I know you will get through this too.” “Thank you, Lily.” “I’m so glad I found you.” I smile “everything happens for a reason in our lives we just don’t always know what that reason is.”
