There's nothing going on, Alpha Kade,she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

Damian heaved in relief and he stepped closer to Amelia and took her hand in his. If you would excuse us, Alpha king… I would like to escort my Luna to her room. She needs to take a rest.

Before he knew what was happening, Amelia stepped away from him and her hands connected to his face.

Slap!

The sound echoed through the hallway, his head snapping to the side. Everyone's mouth hung open.

Damian clutched his cheeks and glared at Amelia. The look was supposed to make her cower but it did nothing of such. Instead it only increased the rage brewing inside her.

Another slap!

That is for my child that you made me lost!She spat, her voice trembling with rage and tears blurring her eyes.

Before Damian could recover, she slapped him again.

This for my trust that you broke!

Kade stood looking at her, his mouth opened. He has never seen a lady as feisty as she is.

Damian gritted his teeth, reaching out to grab her arms but she shoved his hands aside and stood beside Kade.

She glanced up at hin. A lot is going on Alpha king.Tears streamed down her cheeks, despite every attempt to hold it back. He made me lose my child by bedding with his mistress. I became a slave in my own pack and this bastard….,her voice broke, he rejected less than an hour ago.

Kade jaw tightened, his fists clenched at his side.

Alpha king…..Damian began, panicking.

Save it,Kade snapped, his anger palpable. I have heard enough and I have seen enough to prove that everything she is saying is true.

He couldn't talk anymore. Not even a word.

Alpha Kade snapped his fingers and his guards stormed into the hallway.

Seize them,he ordered.

The guards obeyed, grabbing Damian and Selena. They tried to fight against them but they were no match for them. They took them away and their desperate cries faded into the background.

Kade turned towards Amelia. She was sobbing silently as she shook her body with pain.

Get her to her room and let her rest,he ordered.

Aria stepped out of the crowd, walked towards Amelia and wrapped her arms around her.

They cried into eachother's arms, their tears soaking through their dresses. When they pulled back, Aria fell to her knees and bowed in front of the king.

Thank you, Alpha king for coming,she said, and everyone's eyes narrowed in disbelief. I sent those letters to you and I'm glad you honour it. No matter what everyone says, I know you are a good person.

Kade's jaw tightened.

Whispers and murmurs spilled out.

What letter?

She was the one who invited the Alpha king over?

Amelia had stopped crying, instead her mouth fell open in disbelief. She couldn't understand what Aria was saying. If that was true… that explains why he seems to be able to read her even from the first time they met.

Aria…..she managed.

Arise,Kade commanded, looking down on her. That was a brave thing to do."

Aria stood up, smiling.

Amelia stepped closer to her. What did you do?

I couldn't watch the woman who saved my life suffer,she said. True Amelia saved Aria when she was almost assaulted by Rogues seven years ago. She brought her to the pack and gave her a home there.

So I started sending out letters every week for the past three months to the Alpha, asking for his help.

Amelia lips trembled, her eyes filled with emotions as she pulled aria into another embrace. Thank you,she muttered.

__________

You need a lot of rest, Luna,the physician said. And heal by yourself because the painkillers you've taken in the past has accumulated in your system and I'm afraid I can't administer any more for you.

I understand,Amelia says with a groan. Her lower stomach hurts so much from the love making session of Selena and Damian yesterday.

The physician gathered his belongings and stepped out of the room.

She tried to push herself off the bed.

Where are you going.Aria rushed to her side. The physician just said you need a lot of rest.

I need to see the Alpha king. I need to thank him and have an important discussion with him.

Aria nodded and together they made their way to the guest palace at the east wing.

I need to see the Alpha king,Amelia said to Ronan, his Beta who stood at the entrance of the chamber.

Alright… Luna,he said with a polite smile.

Amelia wanted to correct him that she was no Luna but he slet it slide. She would regain back her throne in no time.

Ronan mindlink Kade and in no time, he ushered her inside the room while Aria stood outside.

Inside the chamber was dark and thick with raw untamed power that made goosebumps rise on her body. He was seated on her leather couch at the center of the room and when she stepped closer, she could barely look him in the eyes. He sure seemed different from the man she had seen earlier. Now, he just look as ruthless like she had heard.

You should still be resting,he said, his voice was cold but Amelia understood that he couldn't help it.

She forced herself to remain calm by imagining him as the man from earlier. Thank you for coming to save me.

He scoffed, nodding his head. Take a seat.

She took the seat in front of him. But I still need your help, Alpha king. I want Damian and Selena to suffer. I want to reclaim back my throne.

Hmmmm… making them suffer, I can do that. But reclaiming back your throne, I'm afraid that won't be easy.

Amelia hope dashed away, her expression dimmed. Why? You're the Alpha king. You control all the packs in the Northern Province Clan—shouldn't reclaiming my throne be easy for you.

He leaned forward, clasping his hands together. Amelia Cadman,he called, his voice was cold yet melodious. No one has ever called her name like he did.

I am the Alpha of the Southern Province and not the king of Werewolves worldwide. And I discovered that you removed your name from your family registry and added his instead.

Yes… Amelia knew she had been foolish. She had removed her name from her family's registry and replaced it with Damians, legally making him the rightful heir of her parents. She did it so the Elders wouldnt look down on him for being just a common guard.

Really?his voice rose with disbelief. You thought love would protect you, but all it did was strip you of your power.

She didn't say a word. No excuse.

He continued. How about you help me become the king of Werewolves and that way I will be able to reclaim back your throne for you.

Amelia's interest was piqued. How can I help you become the king of Werewolves?She asked, her eyes narrowed in confusion.

Marry me, Amelia.

She didn't say a word. She must have heard wrongly.

He repeated, louder this time. Marry me for six months, and Ill give you the weapon you need to destroy your enemies.
