Chapter 5

Amelia's POV

I ran and ran as fast as I can. I can see the wolf was gaining on me. I kept running as fast as I can when the wolf lunged at me from afar.

I was lying underneath it. I took a tweak and put it in its mouth to stop it from biting me. But it breaks the tweak. I struggle against it trying to fight it off.

As it was about to put its teeth in my neck, a giant black wolf came and took it off. Both of the wolf were fighting each other when the black wolf rip the rogue's neck

That's when I smelled the scent. It was the Alpha King. He was looking down at the rogues while breathing heavily.

I didn't know what came over me, but I ran the opposite direction of them. I didn't want to face him. At least not yet. Not after what happened.

Soon I reached my house and ran in. My mother looked at my flustered look and hurried towards me. "Oh my goddess Amelia, what happen?" she asked me worried.

I took in few deep breathe of what happen. Except for the part where The Alpha King is my mate. Hearing this my mother got shocked checked for bruises.

I didn't have much bruises except for a few scrapes here and there. But that's all it was. She quickly called my dad and told what happened.

My father got scared and wanted to come back, but I said I was ok and he didn't have to come back. He reluctantly agreed to me.

My mother insisted we go to the infirmary but I said bandages were fine. After much convincing she agreed. I was afraid I might bump into the Alpha King.

I sighed and went to my room to take some rest. Oh moon goddess please help me. I prayed letting her guide me out of this and went to sleep.

What felt like hours, I woke up to my father sound. I sat up hearing his voice when he came in with a worried look.

The moment he saw me, he came to hug me. "Oh thank goddess you are ok." my father said. "I'm fine papa." I said assuring me.

Next I saw my brother and Angela come in. "Baby sister, are you ok?" Nathan asked me concern. I assured him I was fine and soon Angela came and hug me.

"I am so sorry I left you like that. I didn't know that you didn't know how to drive." She kept apologizing. "Its ok. You didn't know. You don't have to apologise." I assured her.

My mum smiled softly at me. Once I told them, I was fine, all of us went down. We sat in the living room just talking.

"So Nathan, did the Alpha King finally find his mate?" my mum asked making me freeze. I don't know what to expect. Did he tell?

"Nope mum." Nathan said making my heart sink. He didn't tell anything about us. He refused to even speak about me. My eyes started to stink.

Before I could cry, I excused myself and left. I didn't want to cry. I just cant believe he would do something like that.

He should at least acknowledge me. But he chose to ignore me. What I didn't realise was that without even realising, I am starting to like.him The mate bond already taking its effect on me.

What am I gonna do? With so much of confused thoughts, I went to sleep.

The next day.

"Honey, hurry up. You are going to be late on your first day." my mum yelled from downstairs. I quickly stuffed everything in my bag pack. Luckily I didn't lose my stuff yesterday.

I went down to see my dad was ready. I grabbed an apple and went towards my dad's car. "You ready?" he asked me.

I nodded my head frantically. The college was walking distance only. But since it was the first day, my dad insisted that he drop me off.

I got inside the car so did my dad. I turn on the radio as I sing along to the songs till we reach the college. "You should choir." my father said turning to me.

"No thanks." I said taking my bag and got down. I heard my dad chuckle. "Be safe." he said as I show a thumbs up signal. I heard him drive before going in.

I went straight to the office room to take timetable and locker combination. The receptionist was a kind lady as she gave me my things and explained on how to get to my class.

Once keeping my stuff in the locker, I gather my things and went to my class. I knocked the door, as the professor was teaching the students. Upon hearing me knock, he stopped teaching.

"You are?" He asked me questioningly. The entire class was looking at me. I blushed due to the attention.

"I am Amelia Rose. New student." I introduced myself. "Oh right. Please come in and take a seat at any empty space." he said directing me in. I climbed up the lecture hall and saw an empty space beside a girl.

"May I?" I asked her politely. She smiled at me softly and nodded her head. "Hi I am Avery." she introduced herself.

"Hi. I am Jason." a boy beside her introduced. I smiled at them both. I can smell both of them are werewolves. I don't know if they are my pack.

"Are you guys from silver moon pack?" I whispered to which they looked surprised. "Wait how do you what we are?" Jason asked surprised. "My family is a werewolf family. I somehow am human." I explained.

"Well. Yes we are from the Silver Moon pack." Avery said smiling to which I return. We return back to what the professor was teaching.

The day seemed to go by very fast. Avery and Jason seemed to be very nice and joyful people. I also learnt they were mates.

The moment they said that my thought ran to my mate. But pushing those thought behind, I continued my day.

Once college was over, Avery and Jason offered to drop me off and I agreed instantly. I didn't want what happened yesterday to happen again.

Once they dropped me off, I when inside my house. That's when I smelt wolves from the pack inside my house. I quickly ran inside.

The moment I went inside, I saw bulky men standing inside. My parents, Nathan and Angela were talking among themselves.

The moment they smelt me, everyone's head turn to me. I stood there frozen not knowing what is going on. My parents quickly rushed towards me.

They grabbed me and pulled me into an empty room. "What's going on?" I asked confused to the 4 of them. They closed door before turning to me.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Nathan asked me. "Tell y'all what?" "That the Alpha King was your mate?" they asked as I stood there shocked. How did they know?

I didn't answer and looked down not answering them. "You met him at the Ball? Didn't you?" Angela asked. I nodded my head slowly.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Nathan asked me again. I didn't know how to tell them. "H-He didn't want me." I stuttered out.

The four of them took a deep breathe. "Of course he would do that." Nathan said angrily. He took a deep breathe.

"Well to bad. He has to accept you. We need you." Angela said nonchalantly. I stared at her unbelievingly.

"He just told us about you. After so much persuasion, he told us about you." "And now you need to come with us to the palace." he said seriously.

"What?" I asked shocked. "Yes dear." my father said softly. How am I going to face him? What am I to do now?

"You have to come with us. The pack needs you. You can feel it yourself that the pack is becoming weak." my brother said to which I agree.

Letting out a big sigh I agreed. Just then we heard the doors knock. "We have to go. Now." someone said from the other side.

With last sigh I stepped outside.

Chapter 6

Amelia's POV

To say that the palace looked huge would be an understatement. It looks magnificent. i was looking at it in awe, when my brother nudged me to walk forward.

I walked forward following the guards. As we entered the palace we took couple of turns and up the staircase. Soon we reached a double door. I looked at it and back to my brother.

That's when I smelt him. He was standing inside. I also smelt few others. Angela have stopped few steps away. She gave me soft smile.

My brother led me inside as I followed. I looked around the room and it was in gold. I am pretty sure this is the throne room. I saw a few old men in the room.

Upon hearing of the doors, everyone's head turn to us. I quickly hid behind my brother. My brother was well built enough to hide me completely. I was pretty small so it wasn't that difficult.

"Welcome Beta Nathan. Where is she?" I heard someone ask. My brother step aside to show me. The moment he did that, my mouth went wide. I probably looked like a gold fish.

I looked in front to see about 9 old men. All of them stepped forward towards me. "Hello dear. We are called the elders. My name is Anderson." he said as everyone start to introduce themselves.

I tried my best to remember all their names. "We hear you are Alpha King's mate. Is that true?" he asked me.

I kept my mouth shut not knowing what to say. He sighed before continuing to talk. "You don't have anyone to fear. You can tell us the truth." he said assuring me.

Slowly I nodded my head. "Well its confirmed than. We officially have a Luna Queen." the elder told everyone.

"She is HUMAN." We heard a voice boom from across the room. The voice sent chills down my spine and I knew than that it was him.

I saw dark figure walking towards us. It was him. The moment I saw his face, I felt my heart break. His face consisted of distaste and anger. Towards me.

I flinched when I saw that. I can't believe my own mate is looking at me like that. The elder beside me spoke.

"She is still your mate. The Kingdom's Queen and your pack Luna." he said sternly. He rolled his eyes. "She is needed now more than ever. The moon goddess paired you guys for a reason." he explained.

"Look my child, you would know vaguely about the witch problem. Your connection to the pack and Kingdom is what that's going to make everyone stronger."

I nodded my head in understanding. "You have to be marked soon and the coronation has to take place soon." he said making my eyes go wide.

He just smiled at me sadly. "How am I supposed to mark her?" The Alpha King growled angrily. Seeing him angry made me scared as I clutched on to my brother.

I sensed that my brother was tensed due to everything. I tried to calm him by squeezing his hand. He smiled down at me.

"You have too. The battle is in less than a week. The witches are coming at us. You don't have much of a choice." One of the elders said.

He groaned before pulling his hair. Without saying anything, he just walked away out of the room. We all stood there not knowing what to say.

"Jerk." my brother mumbled before turning to me. "Don't worry. He'll come around." he said looking at me. I just nodded my head.

"You'll be staying in the palace from now onwards for your safety." the elder said. I nodded my head in understanding. "Also your coronation will be happening in 2 days time. He'll mark you during coronation."

I got shocked. This is all too fast. "I understand you are feeling overwhelmed. But you have to understand us dear." he said as I nodded my head in understanding.

"Bring her to her room, Beta Nathan." another elder. Nathan slowly guided me outside. "I am sorry I was mad at you for not telling us about you being mated to Alpha King."

"I understand now why you didn't tell." "Its ok." I said smiling softly at him. We went up couple of steps. Before stopping at the last second floor.

He guided me towards a room and opened it for. I saw some of my suitcase was already there. Knowing it must have been the guards I shrugged it off.

"Nathan can I ask you something?" "Sure. What is it?" he asked as he sat in the bed. I went and sat beside him. "Can I continue to go to college? Please?"

"I don't know baby sister." he sighed. "Please. Today was only my first day and I am already here. So please?" I begged him.

"Let me see how." he said assuring me. I hugged him happily. "Thank you so much. Will you be staying in the palace?" I asked him hopefully.

"Yes. Just one floor down baby sister. You can come down anytime you want.". I nodded my head. Soon he left as I was once again stuck in my own memories.

I really needed a shower. I quickly went and took a shower. I wore my grey sweatpants with grey hoodie. My stomach started to growl.

I went out remembering Nathan saying there is a pantry in the floor. I tried finding for the pantry when at last I did.

I grabbed some pastries and did hot chocolate. I sat there, eating and start thinking about everything that has happened.

Why am I mated to the Alpha King? Why me out of all people? There are so many people out there who are stronger and prettier.

The thought of other female mated to him, makes me mad. But its true. I finished my pastries and was going to my room, when I saw him stumbling up the stairs.

He didn't notice me as he's back was facing me. I realised he was drunk stumbling up the stairs. I wanted to help him, but knew it would anger him.

So I fight urge to go help him and return to my room. After 5 minutes, I heard my door knock. Smelling its Nathan, I asked him to come in.

"Hey baby sister. I have spoke to the elders, and they are ok with you going to going back to college. But however, during coronation day, you can't." he explained.

I nodded my head with glee. "Thank you so much.". To which he chuckled. "No worries. Now go to bed. You must be tired." the moment he said I let a yawn.

We said goodnight as I fall asleep.
