AMELIA’S P.O.V
The hair at the back of my n*eck stood on end when I heard her words. Fear gripped me and it took
every effort I had to not begin to hyperventte. I was scared and terrified and I wanted nothing
more than to crawl into a hole and hide.
I tried to recall the man I sawing out of theke. He was shrouded by shadows and he looked
every bit the terrifying monster I have heard about. I couldn’t help but remember the stories I heard
father and the members of our pack say and I wondered if he was looking for me so he could finally
punish me foring onto his territory and running away from him.
“The Alpha is looking for me,” I repeated and she nodded.
“My name is ra by the way,” she said in a sing song voice, “I am going to take you to
him.”
I swallowed down my fear and looked up at the girl, “Is he angry with me?” I asked, “For running
away at theke. Did I somehow disrespect him?”
“What are you talking about?” she sounded genuinely confused, “How would disrespected him.”
you have
“I don’t know. I know I shouldn’t have crossed the border without a formal arrangement or invite and
I shouldn’t have run from him because now it makes me look like a criminal. But I promise that if
you let me go right now, I will leave in the morning and never return. I just need to rest for the
night.”
I hoped that she would feel some sympathy for me as a female herself and she would allow me
escape. All I need is a few minutes rest and I will be out of here before anyone even wakes. I don’t
want to see the Alpha, I don’t want to be punished by him and I pleaded with the girl in front of me
to understand and rte to me.
I tried to gauge her expression but it was carefully nk with cracks of confusion bleeding into it.
She looked at me like I was speaking a foreignnguage and she was struggling to understand. I
wasn’t against dropping to my knees to beg her and I was contemting doing it when suddenly
sheughed.
She didn’tugh like anyone I had ever heard before. Herugh was soft and melodic like a note
from the piano or like something was specifically programmed to sound that way. She

and
“You have no reason to be scared of the Alpha or anyone here for that matter,” she said once she
had calmed down, “I assure you that we are of no harm to you.”
“Then why is he looking for me?” I couldn’t help but ask, “Why is he asking for me if he doesn’t want
to punish me.”
She sighed softly, “I can’t answer that question because I don’t know why he is asking for you.”
I wanted to bury my head into my palms in frustration. Of course he wouldn’t tell her. She looks to
soft and innocent to be able to deal with the realities of the kind of punishment and torture that goes
on in their pack. I wouldn’t be surprised if she is in the dark about everything that happens.
“Whatever the reason is,” she continued after a beat, “I can assure you that we are not your enemy.
All the evils you have faced today havee from your own family.”
She said it with such assurance and determination that I couldn’t help but take a step back. I started
to wonder who this girl was and what exactly she knew about the evils I had faced and about my
family. She spoke about them like she knew them and I wondered if she was sent by them too.
I knew she wasn’t because something about her seemed trustworthy but it was scary and a little
weird that she spoke so surely about my own family. I analyzed her once more to make sure I
hadn’t seen her somewhere before but she looked as unfamiliar as before.
“What do you know about my family?” I asked slowly anticipating her next words. It is possible she
knows more than I do and I could learn something new from her.
“I only know what you know,” she answered with a soft but sad smile, “They sent those wolves after
you and they tried to have you killed. I can only see what my birds show me and that is all they think
is necessary.”
“That was how you knew to help me,” I deduced and she nodded, “Are you sure you don’t know
anything else?”
She shook her head, “I don’t but you’re more than free to ask the Alpha after youplete his
request ande with me.”
I stared at her for a minute and realized that there was probably no way I was going to get

out of having to see the Alpha so I nodded. She smiled in relief and took a turned around for me to
follow her through the woods.

A part of me thought about using the opportunity of her facing away from me to run but another part
of me considered her trustworthy and followed her. She said they are not my enemies and for some
reason, I believe her. It does not mean I am not a little apprehensive but it means I think I am safe
for now.
I noticed that the birds overhead were following us. They were flying on trees that we passed and
after a second of observation, I realized that they were following her and not me. They moved when
she moved and they stopped when she stopped.
We didn’t walk far before we got into a car. It was a deep green color, almost like the color of moss
and it was small but expensive looking. She gestured for me to get into the passenger side and I
did. She didn’t speak as she started the car and soon we were driving in silence. I saw her try to
avoid the trees but we still mmed into a few of them.
“I don’t know how you managed to avoid mming into a tree,” she joked, “I have lived here all my
life but I still can’t drive in this forest without an ident. How did you do it?”
“I don’t know,” I admitted, “I’ve never driven in a forest before and I did bump into a few trees but I
guess I just chose to trust my instinct.”
“I
guess it is a little good to know that I am not the only one who cannot navigate it properly.” She
chuckled and I found myself smiling a little, “What do your instincts tell you
now?”
“They say that you’re trustworthy,” I said after a moment of silence, “And that you’re not nning to
kill me.”
Sheughed at that and once again I found myself marveling at how melodious the sound was. It
was like a song that I wouldn’t mind hearing on repeat. I found myself smiling alongside her and that
was when I heard the birds outside.
They chirped in line with herughter and I realized that was what made it as melodious as it was. It
was almost like the birds were an extension of her. I looked out through the window and saw a few
of them flying over the car almost as if they were following her.

“How are you controlling them?” the question left my l*ps before I could stop it.
She turned to me briefly before looking back into the road in time to avoid mming into a tree. I felt
guilty because I was the reason she had to look away for a second.

“I’m sorry about that,” she said once she had gotten us back onto the road, “What was your
question?”
“I asked how you were controlling them,” I jerked my head outside, “The birds I mean, they do
whatever you ask and they listen to you. How do you do that?”
She smiled almost knowingly and for a second I thought she wasn’t going to answer. I assumed I
had overstepped and it was a private thing so I turned my attention back to the window and focused
on watching the birds flying overhead.
“You could find out how,” she began after a minute of silence and I turned to her, “But only
you stay.”
if
“Stay where?” I brows scrunched up in confusion.
“Stay here of course.” She said as if it was the simplest thing in the world.
She turned back to the road and although I had a million and one questions in my head, I couldn’t
force any words out of my mouth. I just stayed there staring at her with my mouth agape as she
drove through the woods.
Soon, we got out into a clearing and I saw a massive building in front of us. It was at least three
stories high and was the color of warm milk. Lights shone from every inch of the ce and I
instantly knew it was their pack office judging by the number of people going in and out of the
building.
“Here we are,” she said as she turned off the ignition, “Are you ready?”
