Amelia alighted from the cab with her friend who paid for it, she entered the house “Can you please help me out of this dress first” she asked turning her back to her.
“Of course,” she helped her zip down making the White dress fall to her feet “There you go”
“Thank you and I never want to see this again” She yanked the dress off throwing it far away from her
Amelia sighted her belongings on the sofa, her friends must have brought them here for her, and she was glad she had her “Who is that lady, I haven't seen her before” She jumped on the chair in nothing but her underwear
“You need to forget about them, do you want to hit the club with me?” Sarah suggested, wanting to cheer her mood up.
“I don't mind but I need to shower first,” she replied.
“I agree, you look terrible and your makeup is messed up” she teased
Amelia stood up and went to her room. She and Sarah have been sharing an apartment since they finished school. She looked at her packed box that Dylan was supposed to pick up later today. Tears threatened to fall out but she sniffed and entered the bathroom.
She looked at herself in the mirror and was shocked, was this how Lucius saw her, her makeup was ruined and there were dark circles under her eyes from all the crying. She quickly washed up and changed into a short mini gown showcasing all her curves. She was ready to have the best night of her life.
Sarah marveled at the sight of her friend “Is this you Amelia, I can't imagine you will be wearing the clothes I have tried forcing you to wear countless times” She checked her friend out.
“Don’t tease me and go dress or do you want to go in this bridal gown?” she asked
“I am the life of the party, why will I go in this shabby dress?” She excused herself and went away.
The club was crowded which was unusual seeing today as Saturday. Sarah whispered something into the bouncer's ear and he let us in without checking our IDs, more reasons why I love her, she knows her way around things.
Amelia looked around as she began to feel the same aura as before, something was calling to her, she checked but couldn't find it “I will go get us drinks to put us in the mood” her friend yelled over the loud music.
Amelia nodded so she could leave and let her find what was calling her, she looked up into the VIP section and her eyes caught familiar eyes looking right back at her “Lucius” she muttered
His body was radiating power and danger but she was so drawn to it that she couldn't say no when he gestured for her to come to where he was
Amelia took a step towards Lucius, her heart pounding with a mixture of fear and hope. She knew that opening her heart to love again meant taking a risk, but she also knew that Lucius was different from Dylan who had not shown her support, understanding, and love throughout their journey.
As she stood before him, her eyes locked with his, Amelia felt a surge of warmth and love wash over her. She knew that she couldn't let the pain of her past define her future. She had to take a leap of faith and trust in the love that was right in front of her.
“Come sit” he patted the seat beside him
Amelia could feel everyone's gaze on her, they must be wondering who she was “Don't you see you are making her uncomfortable” he yelled at them causing them to flinch and go back to their drink.
“What am I doing here” I asked him
“I want to be around you, I want you to give me a chance seeing that we are mates and all” his eyes were filled with love, Dylan never looked at me like that before.
“My friend is down there, she will be worried if she doesn't see me, she went to get us something to drink” she replied changing the subject
“I will tell someone to get her to join us here” he stopped for a while and I knew he was mind-linking someone “Now, back to us”.
"Lucius," she whispered, her voice filled with emotion. "I'm scared, but I want to give us a chance. I want to open my heart to love again."
A smile spread across Lucius' face, his eyes shining with joy. He reached out and gently took Amelia's hand in his, his touch sending a wave of comfort and reassurance through her.
"Amelia, my mate," he said, his voice filled with love. "I will cherish and protect your heart with everything I have. Together, we will heal and build a love that is stronger than anything we have ever known."
Amelia felt her heart swell with love and hope. She knew that she had made the right choice. With Lucius by her side, she felt invincible, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
Sarah joined them sharing a smile with her friend before sitting down “I thought you left”
“I won't, at least not without telling you” Amelia replied.
“What are you doing here” Sarah asked Lucius whose attention was only on Amelia
“I came to investigate something but I ran into her,” he replied.
“I never thought I would ever meet a Lycan, I have only heard about you” Sarah couldn't hide her excitement.
“What will you ladies love to drink” Lucius asked
“Water will be fine” Amelia replied not trusting herself with alcohol
She won't want to wake up beside him naked tomorrow.
“I won't take advantage of you if that's what you are scared of” he answered her
“Hold on, you can hear my thoughts” She flushed in embarrassment
“You didn't know that Lycan can hear their mate's thoughts” Sarah confirmed.
“f**k me” she groaned
