Amelia had done her homework really well when Archie was busy with his work. They were seated in the VIP box and enjoying the opera. Her mother was a ballet dancer and she had won many awards so Amelia was interested in watching the performance on a live stage and would often go whenever she could.

Today’s Play was Hans Christian Andersen’s classic fairy tale. “The Snow Queen.” It was all about bravery, love and innocence, and a touch of nastiness. The snow queen is at times gloomy, but also a heart-warming story of Gerd’s and Kay’s struggle, and it was told by the Ballet, music, and song and it was very enchanting. Amelia was so busy watching the play that she did not notice that Archie was looking at her carefree nature with admiration.

 “Archie, doesn’t she look like a child who has been given a big candy?” Casper joked.

“What nonsense are you sprouting Casper? I have heard that her mother was a very famous ballet dancer so it must be in her genes no wonder I have read in her journal that she likes going to operas to enjoy the plays very often.” Archie informed him.

“It seems you have done your homework really well. Archie.”

Suddenly Casper became restless and Archie frowned. “What ! What’s wrong Casper?” 

“I can smell some bad wolves around. Alert the pack. I am having a very bad feeling about this.”

Archie immediately closed his eyes and through mind link he tried to connect to his beta and soon he got his response.

“Cover up the whole Opera house there must be an ambush and be careful.”

“Noted Alpha.” Beta Brain replied.

Archie had been so busy looking around that he did not notice the play was over and everyone was moving out. Amelia looked at him happily and smile but he was too distracted.

“Archie shall we leave?” Amelia asked.

“Huh….what?” Archie spoke with a little surprise in his voice and noticed that the play was over.

“I am sorry I was a little distracted,” Archie said and stood up from his place and held her hand but as soon as he touched her she shivered and he frowned.

“Are you feeling cold?”

Amelia who felt an electric current or you could say an unknown tickle inside her body couldn’t speak for a few seconds then she spoke up all of a sudden. “No, of course not. I am all right don’t worry, let's go.”

Then she walked past him and was out of the box and Archie walked behind her all alert as he knew that there were bad people around and he couldn’t afford to let Amelia be alone. 

They were walking down the stairs when a woman ran and bumped into Amelia and she fell forward, she couldn’t even react or hold on to the railings and was about to fall so she closed hereyes but a strong hand pulled her firmly up and embraced her in full force.

“Are you all right?” Archie asked her with concern.

The woman who had knocked her down looked at her apologetically and said. “I am sorry I was in a hurry I didn’t see you.” Amelia observed that she was wearing the latest Dolce and Gabbana gown and looking very chic but her eyes looking at her very dangerously.

Archie glared at her as for a few seconds his heartbeat had stopped and he wanted to beat up the women for being so careless and if he had not held Amelia on time she would have broken her head for sure and she was his guest.

Amelia could feel Archie’s anger as she was too close to him and whispered. “Leave it, I am fine.”

Archie’s hold on her tightened and all of a sudden his mouth came down and his mouth captured her lips and started kissing her passionately ignoring the woman who was standing there and looking at Amelia with hatred. 

Amelia's eyes widened with shock but she couldn’t help but respond as his kiss was intoxicating and her stomach was churning with excitement.

But soon the magic was over and Archie let her go and looked at the women who had tried to push her with hatred.

“Boy, why did you stop I was enjoying it,” Casper growled and Archie ignored him as he knew his Wolf will put him into trouble someday.

“Lady Ann, you better behave yourself when you are around my girlfriend or I will make sure you are transported to Africa.” Archie warned her and holding Amelia’s hands who was too shocked to react walked out of the Opera house.

As soon as they left lady Ann dialed a number and as soon as the call went through she roared.

“What the f**k! You said that she is a normal human being but when I got close to her, I was suddenly jerked back and stumbled and she was about to fall but Archie saved her. That b***h she has all the attention of handsome men but Archie is mine and I won’t let that human take her away from me.”

“What did you say? You were jerked back.” The voice on the other end asked in astonishment.

“But how can this be because Archie is also a wolf so why isn’t he affected by her?” 

Lady Ann clenched his fist and said. “ I don’t know and the only thing I know is I will kill that woman and end it forever. Archie can only be mine and no one else’s.”

After that, she ended the call and walked out of the opera house.
