AMELIA’S PO.V
I am almost embarrassed at how quickly I rushed out of the room when ra arrived. She was still
barefooted and she smiled softly at me as she shut the door behind her. As we walked through the
office walls, I took my time to really admire the expensive interior of the ce. ra led me to her
car and as soon as the doors were shut and I was sure we were far away from Kaden and his super
Alpha hearing that I know every Alpha possesses, I turned to ra.
“Kaden was nicer than I thought he would be,” I admitted and she turned to me with an amused
smile. “I thought he would be upset for disrespecting him at theke earlier but he told me it was
fine.”
“I knew there was nothing to worry about,” ra said softly. “Kaden can be scary sometimes. but he
is a fair leader. You did absolutely nothing wrong.”
“I was just expecting to be punished,” I mumbled. “Also, I’m sorry to be such an inconvenience. I
know you’re taking on a lot by having me stay with you.”
“You’re not an inconvenience, it would be amazing to have someone around who is my age. I love
my grandparents and my brother but sometimes they can be overbearing.”
“You live with your grandparents?” I asked and she hummed. “What are they like?”
“Well my grandmother is the nicest person in the world. She is so sweet but she can also be a little
scary and my grandfather is just quiet. He mainly keeps to himself and sits on the rocking chair
while drinking tea and reading the newspaper.”
“They sound fun.”
I have no other family except for my father and Brittany and even before this, I would never have
spoken about them with the same kind of affection that ra spoke about her family. She spoke like
they were so important to her and dear to her heart and I knew without a doubt that she loved them
and they loved her. it warmed my heart to see but it also gave a bittersweet feeling and a pang of
pain and longing right in the center of my chest but I quickly brushed it off.

“Will they be upset to have me?” I asked and she nced at me incredulously.

“Of course not,” she said as if I was stupid for even considering it. “I’m sure grandma is already
making a huge meal for you right now. Fair warning, she can be very overbearing. but she is only
doing it because she cares. She will probably stuff you full of food until you pop.”
I chuckled at her description and she squeezed my palm softly in a calming manner before returning
to the wheel. I appreciated how she was trying to calm me down and assure me of everything and I
rxed in the chair. I trust ra and if she says her grandparents will like me then I will believe her.
The drive to her house took a little over fifteen minutes and although I hade to terms with
where I was going to be staying, I still felt nervous butterflies flutter in my belly. I hesitated in getting
out of the car and if ra noticed, she didn’t say much about it. Instead, she stood and waited
patiently for me to join her by her side.
We walked towards the front door and before ra even raised her hand to knock, a woman
appeared on the other side. She was a splitting image of ra although many years older and she
was wearing an apron that was stained with flour. She had a warm smile on her face and I saw
smile lines and wrinkles framing her face. Her graying hair was tied up in a bun but she looked so
young that I would never have guessed that she was her. grandmother.
“You poor thing,” she cooed as she looked over at me. “Come in please.”
She stepped aside for ra and I to walk in and the first thing I smelled when I crossed the
threshold was cinnamon and coffee. The house smelled lived in and something about the
atmosphere waspletely cozy and warm. It felt like being wrapped in a long and warm hug and I
felt all the tension drain out of my b*dy.
I saw ra’s grandfather sitting on a wooden rocking chair with a newspaper in his hands just like
ra had described but he put it down when we walked in. He also looked as kind as her
grandmother and he offered me a soft smile.
“ra why don’t you take her to the guest room?” her grandmother asked, “You can take a bath
dear and maybe ra can help you with some new clothes. Dinner should be ready before you’re
done.”

“Thank you,” I said softly and she waved me off.

ra led me to a room down the hallway. She showed me her own room which was two doors
down from the one I was supposed to use and when I walked in I was in
awe. I was expecting a small room like the one I was used to at home but instead, I was met with a
room almost three times that size with arge four poster bed in the middle. There was a vanity and
a walk in closet. The bathroom was almost as big as the room andpletely tiled.
“This is amazing,” I breathed and I saw ra grin.
“I’lly out some clothes for you before you return,” she said and then she was gone.

I spent longer than I should have in that shower and it was mainly because I couldn’t bring myself to
get out. It was so big andfortable that I didn’t even realize I had spent so much time until the
water in the tub went cold. I got out and saw a pair of sweatpants and a top that ra had left out
for me. They fit me perfectly and I towel dried my hair before stepping out of the room.
The smell of food carried me to the living room and I saw ra’s grandmother setting out tes on
the dining table. She smiled when she saw me and beckoned me over.
“Thank you for having me,” I said to her and ra who had appeared from the kitchen holding a
dish. “I don’t have any money right now but I can do chores or jobs around the house I can do to
earn my keep.”
“Don’t worry about it,” ra said. “All your needs are going to be funded by someone. Don’t bother
asking who, just sit down so we can have dinner.”
Even though she had said not to bother, I couldn’t help but worry about who was funding it. Was she
lying just to make me feel better or was there actually someone that was going to handle
everything? If there was, then who was it? Was it Kaden? He wouldn’t actually do that, he doesn’t
even know me, right?
The thoughts were swirling in my head but I took a seat at the table next to ra. She offered me a
smile and I waited until everyone else had started to dish out their food before. I hesitantly reached
for a bowl of pasta.
“I know we haven’t done the introductions yet but my name is Pam and that’s my

husband Devin.” ra’s grandmother said. “Now what’s your name and how did you. stumble
across our pack?”
“My name is Amelia,” I swallowed. “My mate left me for my sister today and my father thought it
would be a good idea for me to go to another pack to finish school to avoid the shame that would
come from it. On my way driving, some wolves attacked me.”
I told her the story of how the birds saved me and how I stumbled into the pack and came across
Kaden. I rushed through that path because even thinking about Kaden had me feeling a type of way
that I didn’t want to think about. Pam was listening with rapt attention and wide eyes and by the
time I was done, she was shocked.
“Who could have wanted to hurt you so badly?” she asked, “Why would they send wolves after you.
Do you have any enemies?”
“I didn’t at the time,” I said softly.
“They were sent by her father,” ra added. “The birds saw him nning the attack and I was able
to warn Caleb and Kaden.”
Pam put a hand over her mouth. “I am so sorry that happened to you Amelia,” her voice was so
soft as if she was trying tofort me with her words. “I’m d you’re safe here.”
“It’s all thanks to ra. If she didn’t have the skill with the birds I would probably be dead.”
“Yes, ra’s skill is amazing,” Pam smiled softly. “It runs in the women of the family. Her
maternal grandmother could talk to horses and she was an amazing warrior. Her mother was also
an amazing warrior, it was a shame when she and her mate died in battle.”
I saw ra’s smile waver slightly and I knew that she probably still missed her mother. We drifted
the topic over dinner to softer matters like what I nned to do now that I was in the pack and my
hobbies.
By the time dinner was over, I wanted to help with the dishes but Pam shooed me to the room
and told me to get some rest. I reluctantly walked into my room and once the door was shut it was
like the weight of the entire day finally fell on my shoulders.
I crawled into the bed and pulled the nket up to my chin. If anyone had told me yesterday that
Brittany and father would have tried to kill me, I would have called them

liars. But here I am in a foreign pack simply because they wanted me dead. I can never go back
and that means I am no longer the Alpha’s daughter. In the span of one day my entire life has
crumbled and I am no one.
The silver lining to all of that was that Kaden had granted me a nk te. I never expected. his
kindness but I am grateful for it. Tomorrow I will talk to ra about starting a
university part time so I can also find a job. I have been given a second chance at life and I am not
going to let it pass me by.
I allowed the new found hope consume me as I drifted off to sleep.
