Chapter 4


    4 Friends


    Amelia POV


    I grab a sundress from my bag and sandals so I’m ready when Lily gets here. I sit on the couch and


    about an hourter a knock sounds on the door. I look out the peep whole first, but it’s not Lily. It’s not


    As either, so I open the door. “Hi, Amelia, right” the young man says. “Yes, how do you know my


    name?” “Sorry I’m John.” “Lily asked me to bring you some dinner and to let you know she’ll be up as


    soon as she can.” “We had some rowdy guests she’s dealing with.” He pushes the cart in that I didn’t


    even notice he had. This time it only has one covered dish on it. “Thank you, John.” “You’re wee,


    just call the desk if you need anything else.” “I will” I say before I shut the door locking it. John is


    human, so I have no reason to think he knows who I am or who As is. Besides, I’m starving and the


    food smells good. I’m always starving anymore. I was worried, with all that’s happened, I wouldn’t be


    able to eat, but thankfully I still have my appetite. Iy my hand on my bump. Are you making mommy


    hungry bean? I take a seat and uncover the te. Oh, my goddess, it’s chicken Alfredo. I love pasta


    and white sauce is my favorite. I start eating with gusto. I’m almost done when a knock sounds on the


    door again.


    I go and look out the peep hole and this time it’s Lily. Shees in and sees my eaten te. “I’m d


    you enjoyed the food.” “I did, I hope you got to eat something too.” “Don’t worry about me I’m not


    growing a person.” “I’ll eat when we get to my apartment.” “Are you ready to go see the apartment?”


    “Absolutely” I say and we head down to her car. “There’s actually an open apartment three doors down


    from mine.” “That’s great, I’ll know my neighbor” Iugh. We pull into a parking garage attached to the


    apartment building. “You’ll have a card to get into the parking area.” “This apartmentplex is pretty


    secure.” “The owner really cares about people.” “Do you remember how I said people helped me when


    I didn’t know anyone?” “Yes, I do” I say. “The owner of the building was one of those people.” “That’s


    wonderful that he actually cares about the people that rent from him.” “I’m sure that isn’t amon


    thing.”


    We walk in and head to a desk. “Hi Mark this is Amelia, the girl I told you about.” A man that I assume


    is the person in charge is behind the desk. “Nice to meet you, Amelia.” I shake his hand and hees


    off around the desk with a set of keys. “Follow me and I’ll show you the apartment.” We get into an


    elevator and take it to the third floor. We pass two doors and stop in front of the third. The apartment


    reads 315 on the door. “My apartment is 317” Lily says. I smile because I’m really d that I met Lily.


    He opens the door and we head inside. I look around and honestly, I love it. It’s not fancy, but I don’t


    need fancy. It has two bedrooms which is perfect for me and my pup. It has a small kitchen and a nice


    size living room. “What do you think, Amelia,” Mark asks me. “I’ll take it, it’s great.” Lily hops up and


    down like a teenage girl. “When will I be able to move in?” “As soon as you’re ready.” “I’ll need first and


    last month’s rent and then the keys are yours.” I take the money out of my purse and hand him the


    money. “Here you go my dear, you have a new apartment.”


    With the sh*t storm my life has been over thest few days, I’m actually happy in this moment. Mark


    leaves and Lily leads me to her apartment. It looks exactly like mine but hers, of course, has furniture in


    it. I take a seat on her couch and she brings me a ss of water. “So, I’m off tomorrow, if you want, we


    can do some shopping if you have the money.” I think about my brother-inw and my sadness creeps


    in a little. Elias was so kind and I can’t imagine what he is going through right now. “I’m sorry if you


    don’t want to that’s ok” Lily says. She must have seen the sadness on my face. “No, I was thinking


    about something else.” “I would love to go shopping with you.” “I’m not going to pressure you to talk to


    me but know that you can if you ever want to.” “I can’t thank you enough for all the kindness and your


    friendship.” “So, it’s a date then, shopping tomorrow” Lily says. We drive back to the hotel since I can’t


    really stay in my apartment until I get a bed. I get out of the car and lean down in the window. “Thank


    you, again Lily.” “What time should I be ready for tomorrow?” “I’ll pick you up and we can have


    breakfast.” “So around nine.” I wave and head into the hotel. As I walk, I get this weird feeling like I’m


    being watched. As I pass the desk, the guy from earlier John, waves at me. “Have a good evening,


    Amelia” he says. “You too” I say and get on the elevator. There is something strange about him, but I’m


    not scared. It’s not strange like a creeper. It’s just strange.


    I reach my floor and take the key card out of my purse. Once I’m inside, I decide to take a shower. As I


    shower, I think about the things I was able to forget about for a little while today. I look down at my


    growing belly. I can’t believe what As did to us. No, I’m not going to keep giving him the power to


    upset me. “You are strong Amelia” Star says. “We both are” I smile. Once I’m dried off and, in my


    pajamas, I sit back down on the couch. I look at the phone Iid on the table. I think about thest


    conversation I had with my mother. I think about not seeing them and having this pup without them.


    “Why don’t you just call them Amelia?” “They aren’t the ones that hurt you” Star says. “They are going


    to want me toe home and that can’t happen.” “I know my mother thinks I’m wrong because none of


    us thought As could do such a thing.” “Amelia, your parents love you.” “If they understand what he


    did they would support you.” “You can make them understand that you are not wrong.” I think about it


    for a few minutes before I pick the phone up. I dial the number and my mother picks up on the fourth


    ring.


    “Amelia is that you” she says. I take a breath “yes mom it’s me.” “Amelia, where are you?” “Please let


    use get you.” “Mom, I can’t.” “I told you what happened.” “He betrayed me and could have hurt my


    pup.” “I don’t want to talk about him.” “I just want you to know that I’m safe.” “Amelia you can’t really


    believe Freya after all she has done.” Now I’m definitely confused. As is as guilty as Freya. “Freya is


    not to me for As’s actions.” “He was a willing participant in the affair.” “Amelia, I’m not talking


    about the lies she told you.” “Freya killed Elias in cold blood.” “She killed her own mate because she


    wanted yours.” The room feels like its closing in on me and I feel sick to my stomach. I can’t have


    heard my mother correctly. “Mom” I say before a voice I never wanted to hear is on the phone. “Love


    please I can exin everything.” She called that ba**ard after all I told her what he has done. “F**k you


    As, I heard you with her.” “I swear to you Amelia I would never touch another woman.” “You may


    have my parents fooled but I know what I heard.” “Forget about me and my pup.” “I intend to forgetThis is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    about you, you cheating pr**k.” I hang up and rush to the bathroom. I haven’t thrown up since the


    beginning of my pregnancy but the thought of Elias being dead makes me sick.


    As POV


    I’m in the office when I get a link from Amelia’s mother that she is on the phone. I don’t even respond, I


    just take off for the cottage. When I get there, her father lets me in. Amelia’s mother hands me the


    phone. I heard her tell Amelia that Freya killed Elias before she saw me. I can’t worry about that right


    now. I plead with her to believe me but she won’t listen. When she says she intends to forget me, Ss


    is at the surface. The line goes dead and I throw the phone, breaking it against the wall. I look at my


    mother-inw and she looks shocked and terrified. I push Ss down. “I’m sorry” I say to her and my


    father-inw. “I will rece the phone.” Sheys her hand on my arm. “Give her a few days and


    hopefully she’ll call back.” “I’m losing my mind, I can’t lose her and my pup.” She pulls me into a hug.


    “Everything is going to work out, As.” “Thank you, I don’t know what I would do without your support.”


    I head back to the pack house. I link Neal toe to my office. A few minutester a knock sounds on


    the door. “Come in Neal.” I made Neal my Beta since he was head warrior and he has supported me


    since Elias’s death. “Neal, Amelia called her parents again.” “We need to find her.” “Have the trackers


    been able to find out anything?” “The trackers went to all the human cities and packs within two hours


    of the pack and have found nothing.” I m my fist down on my desk “then tell them to go three hours”


    I yell. ” Alpha, please calm down.” “We will find her but you need to have faith.” “You said she called her


    parents, we should be able to get the number from their phone.” “We can see if any of the pack


    contacts can trace the phone.” “Thank you, Neal.” “I’m sorry, for yelling.” “Alpha I can’t imagine having


    my mate missing, especially my pregnant mate.” I tell him about getting my inws phone fixed and he


    leaves. “She is never going to forgive you for f**king that wh*re.” “Shut up Ss, yes she will.”


    Lincoln POV


    “Alpha Lincoln, she is moving into your apartmentplex.” “She paid for two month’s rent.” “Well, we


    know she ns on staying for a while.” “Did you find out any more about why she left her pack while


    she is with pup.” “No Alpha, I have a feeling that something bad happened to her.” “I will being in


    to town to check on things.” “I would still like to meet her and get my own feeling about her.” “I don’t


    want her to feel threatened but I need to make sure whatever she is running from will not affect my


    pack.” “Of course, Alpha.” “She won’t be moving in for a few days.” “Good, I’ll be in town in three days.”


    I hang up and start working on my paper work. I get a link from Michael that the patrol guard needs us


    at the border. I head downstairs and out of the pack house. I shift and Talon takes off. Michael’s wolf,


    Felix, joins me as we run. We reach the border and the patrol guards are waiting for us. We both shift


    and pull on our shorts.


    They bare their necks at me. “What is going on” I ask. “Alpha, we have caught the scent of wolves near


    the pack border.” “How many rogues are we talking about?” “No alpha, not rogue wolves.” “They had


    the smell of pack wolves.” “If I had to guess I would say three to five at least based on the strength of


    their smell.” I link the pack warriors. Fifteen warriors arrive at the border. “I want you all to search over


    the pack border and I want a report immediately if you find any wolves that don’t belong here.” “Yes


    Alpha” they say in unison. They shift and take off over the border. “Michael follow me back to my office


    now.” When we reach my office, I tell Michael about the pregnant she-wolf that came to the human city.


    “These wolves have to be connected to her.” “Why else would pack wolves be near our border?” “I’m


    sure they know it could start war if they trespass without permission.” “Michael if your mate who was


    pregnant with your pup was missing would you be afraid of pissing off another Alpha.” “No probably not


    but I’m just as confused as you are.” “Why would a pregnant she-wolf leave her mate and pack unless


    something really bad is happening?” “That’s what I’m afraid of Michael.”
