Chapter 33


    AMELIA’S POV


    I was so deep in thought wondering what Kaden could possibly want from me when I felt a hand on


    my shoulder. I jumped slightly and Serena looked at me with raised brows. She must have thought


    that I was crazy and all I could do was offer her a small smile.


    “We have about an hour before the next ss,” she began slowly. “I wanted to know if maybe you


    wanted to get some coffee from the café. It might help you stay awake longer.”


    I nodded and walked out of ss with her. We walked side by side in silence but to my surprise


    there was nothing awkward or tense about the silence. It was ratherforting and when we got to


    the student settlement, she led me to a café that I had never been to.


    “They have the best things here,” she said and I chose to believe her because I knew she has been


    in the pack longer than me.


    “Why don’t I buy you a drink,” I offered. “Seeing as you brought me here.”


    I dug through my bag to find some cash and I muttered a curse when I realized that I didn’t have


    any. I must have spent thest of it on the drink this morning. I wanted to face palm. myself. I don’t


    know how I managed to spend all the money that Pam and Devin had. given me but I was


    officially broke for the rest of the week. Shame filled me and my cheeks. heated pink in


    embarrassment.


    “I’m sorry,” I said softly. “I’m out of cash. I haven’t found a job yet and I will soon. I’m so sorry.”


    I couldn’t tell her that I didn’t have any money. I would have to exin to her why I don’t have a card


    or rather why I have a card but cannot use it. Using it would alert my father to my presence here


    and I didn’t want to do that.


    “It’s okay, what do you want to order?” Serena asked looking up at me in anticipation and I forced


    my most nonchnt expression as I shrugged.


    “I don’t really want anything,” I lied.

    She rolled her eyes and ced an order for two cups of hot chocte and two muffins and I was


    filled with immense gratitude that she was willing to do so much for someone she didn’t even know.


    I had never experienced an ounce of kindness from anyone excluding ke before I came to this


    pack. I never even knew that people could be this kind.


    Our order arrived within a few minutes and I carried it since she paid and led us towards a secluded


    table away from the hustle and bustle of the other students. Once we were seated, I took a bite from


    the muffin and was shocked at how good it was that I almost moaned.


    “This is good,” I said to her with a mouthful and sheughed.


    “I told you,” she took a sip from her drink before facing me squarely. “Are you from another pack?”


    I hesitated before responding because I wasn’t sure whether or not I should tell her or how she


    would react to it. After a second of hesitation I realized that the people here were vastly different


    from the ones I met before and I decided there was no harm in telling her so I nodded.


    “I am from another pack,” I admitted. “My father is the Alpha and he abandoned me because I was


    weak.”


    I couldn’t stop the sadness from creeping into my tone and although I wanted to tell her the whole


    truth, I wasn’t close to her enough to tell her that. It didn’t matter however, because she had a look


    of pure sympathy on her face as the words left my l*ps. I tried to assure her that I was fine by giving


    her a small smile but it came out looking more like a grimace and I gave up on the second try.


    She reached out and grabbed my hand in hers. “You have nothing to worry about here. Our Alpha is


    formidable and he will not let anything bad happen to you. He does not discriminate and he won’t


    send you away.”


    I allowed her words calm me and at the mention of Kaden, I felt my cheeks heat up. I still didn’t


    understand the feelings I felt towards Kaden but I knew they were growing more by the day and I


    felt stupid because he hadn’t even shown any interest in me. He was just being nice and helping


    me settle and I was falling for him.


    “Can you tell me about him?” I asked trying to keep the curious note out of my voice so she wouldn’t


    know how eager I was to hear about Kaden. “I haven’t heard much about. your

    Alpha so I would love if you could tell me about him. He is a mystery to everyone.”


    If she noticed how eager I sounded, she didn’t mention it and she nodded. I decided to drink my hot


    chocte so I could hide my expressions behind my mug.


    “He rarely appears so we don’t know much about his personal life and I will admit that a lot of


    people are scared of him. The scar on his face doesn’t make him any less scary if I’m being


    honest.”


    “How did he get the scar?” I asked and it was her turn to hesitate. She opened her mouth and


    closed it before sighing and leaning closer.


    “He


    got it during a ferocious battle,” she said but I knew there was more to the story than what she was


    telling me.


    “I heard that he got it when he killed his father.”


    She shushed me instantly and pulled me closer before looking around to make sure no one was


    listening. When she was sure that we were safe, she sighed deeply and turned back to


    1. me.


    “We don’t talk about that here,” she dropped her voice to an even lower whisper. “Some people say


    that’s how he got it but we don’t know for real. All we know is that Alpha Kaden brought peace and


    prosperity to the pack and we respect him for that. Anything else is not important.”


    I understood what she was saying so I nodded. When she was sure that I wasn’t going to say


    anything else, she released me and I sat up slowly. She had a tight grip and I felt my upper arm


    throbbing from where she had grabbed me but I refused to touch it so I wouldn’t draw attention to it


    “As I was saying,” she continued as if nothing had happened. “He is an amazing Alpha but he just


    can’t seem to find his fated mate.”


    At the mention of his mate, I couldn’t help but think of Lucy and I felt a bitter and hot feeling go


    through my heart. I wondered if he was going to take her as his fated mate since he couldn’t find his


    own. Just thinking about it made me feel weird and I noticed Serena staring at me intently as if she


    was trying to figure out what I was thinking of.

    I quickly downed the remnants of my cup and stood to my feet. “I don’t feel so good, I should be


    going.”


    Before she could respond, I rushed out of the cafe. Thest thing I needed was her figuring out that


    I had feelings for their Alpha.


    I avoided Serena all day and it seemed that doing so gave me a fierce headache because by


    evening, it felt like someone had made a construction site out of my head. As soon as I got to the


    house, I locked myself in the room and tried to sleep it off. It was hard to fall asleep but I managed


    to do so and I didn’t wake up again until ra knocked on my door.


    The small sound had me jerking awake and the headache came back with full force. I muttered


    under my breath for her to walk in and thank the goddess for werewolf hearing because she heard


    me and walked in. She walked over to the side of my bed and took a seat


    next to me.

    “You’ve been sleeping all day, I came to check if you were okay,” she said and she moved to brush


    a strand of my hair off my face when she suddenly pulled her hand back. “You’re running a fever


    Amelia.”


    I didn’t feel hot, in fact, I felt cold and that was why I was under the covers. Before I could speak,


    ra had pulled the covers off my b*dy and dragged me out of bed. I protested as much as I could


    but she didn’t listen to me and walked me over to the living room where Pam and Devin were


    seated.


    Pam took one look at me and rushed to her feet, “You look terrible dear


    Before I could speak, ra told her about the fever and she ced the back of her hand against my


    forehead and clicked her tongue. She helped ra ce me on the chair and she disappeared into


    the kitchen muttering something about chicken soup under her breath.


    “I’m fine,” I said but ra didn’t pay me any heed. She disappeared into the kitchen and returned


    with a small towel and a bowl of water.

    She put the towel into the water, rung it and ced it on my forehead. I shivered slightly as


    my skin and I wanted to pull it off but my hands felt too weak to move. I realized that I was sore all


    over and I couldn’t bring myself to even move a muscle.

    I must have over exerted myself during training.


    Devin finally put down his newspaper and made his way over to me. He didn’t touch me, he just


    looked me over from head to toe with concern all over his eyes and I let out a small sigh when I saw


    Pam return with a steaming bowl of broth.


    “I’m fine, I swear,” I said but none of them listened to me. “It was probably because I trained for the


    first time today. I didn’t know my own limits. I’ll be fine by tomorrow.”


    “Tell me what exactly is wrong with you?” I wasn’t expecting Devin to speak and all our eyes


    snapped up to his..


    “My heart is beating fast,” I began slowly. “My muscles are sore and ra says I have a fever. It is


    probably just exhaustion from training. There is no need for any of you to worry!”


    “I don’t think it is training.”


    “What do you mean?” I asked and he stared straight into my eyes as he said his next words.


    “I think you might be shifting.”
