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

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

Flashback Over

Amelia pulls me into a hug. “I’m so sorry you had to go through that.” I pull back “we all have things we have to have the strength to get through.” “I wanted you to know what happened to 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

We drive to the hotel and head inside. John is behind the counter and he comes around to greet us both. “Good morning, ladies.” “Good morning” we say in unison. “How are you today, Amelia, after everything that happened yesterday?” “I’m good thank you, for
