Chapter 35


    AMELIA’S PO.V


    Devin’s words settled like lead in the room but I couldn’t bring myself to believe it. As soon as the


    words left his l*ps, I started tough. Laughing proved to be difficult because it only intensified the


    ache in my bones but it was all I could think to do. I didn’t fully understand the concept of shifting


    because father never exined to me. He told me that I didn’t have a wolf so I didn’t deserve to


    learn but I knew it had to do with finding my wolf and I didn’t think it was possible anymore.


    At some point I had juste to terms with the fact that I might never have a wolf but hearing Devin


    say that I might be shifting had reignited a lost sense of hope that I had even forgotten I had. I


    stared at him after myughter had died down with wide and hopeful eyes and Pam walked over


    to him.


    She pulled him off to the side and I saw them engage in a serious discussion. I couldn’t hear what


    they were saying properly but I heard my name and I heard the word shift used a few times. I knew


    they were talking about my situation and I knew Devin was probably exining to her why he


    thought I was shifting.


    I wanted to be a part of that conversation. I wanted to tell them to include me but I was too weak to


    speak or ask questions. I was too weak to tell them that I didn’t understand and I wanted to know


    more. My skin was prickling with heat as the seconds ticked by and I started to sweat through the


    n*eck of my tank top. I felt like someone had stuck me inside an oven and locked the door. ra


    was sitting on the sofa next to me but I still couldn’t manage to open my mouth to tell her. I suddenly


    believed their earlier words about a fever because I felt like I was on fire.


    I managed to reach down and pull the nket off my legs and that was enough to draw ra’s


    attention. Pam and Devin were still talking so they didn’t even realize that I had moved. ra


    rushed over to me and picked up the nket to probably put it back on me but I shot her a pleading


    look with my eyes hoping and praying that she would understand.


    Thankfully, she did because she reached over and ced a hand on my forehead. She snatched it


    back almost immediately and she stared down at me with eyes wider than saucers. I could only


    imagine how much I was burning up.


    “I think you need some rest,” she said to me and her words finally caught the attention of

    Pam and Devin.


    ra helped me to my feet and leaned all of my b*dy weight on her. I wanted to thank her but my


    tongue was tied and all I could do was let her lead me into the room. Pam followed closely


    behind with the wash cloth and bowl. Once I was in the room, ra gentlyy me on the bed and


    Pam put the freezing cold wash cloth on my forehead.


    It felt like ice on my skin and I flinched from it. Pam offered me a small smile as if she understood


    and like a silent piece of encouragement. I wanted to return her smile but moving my b*dy felt like a


    chore that I did not want to partake in.


    “You should rest,” Pam said to me softly and she led ra out of the room.


    Before she left, she turned on the air conditioning and then she was gone. As soon as the door


    clicked shut, it was like all my thoughts and worries came flooding in. I couldn’t help but think back


    to what Devin had said.


    Was I truly shifting? Was I finally going to get that one thing that had evaded me for years that I so


    badly wanted?


    It felt like an illusion and it felt like a dream and I couldn’t believe it. I wanted to believe it; I wanted it


    to be true more than anything but I was also terrified that it wasn’t true. If I didn’t shift then that


    would mean that father was right all along. I did not have a wolf and I was never going to shift.


    My thoughts were depleting my energy levels fast and the more I thought, the more tired I got. It


    was a chore to keep my eyes open and an even bigger chore to stay awake. I tried to stay awake


    but my eyes started to droop and before I knew it, I was fighting a lost battle.


    Just as I was about to fall asleep, I heard a voice. “Hello.”


    I turned around immediately looking for the source of the voice and wondering when someone had


    walked into my room. The voice sounded familiar although I knew I had never heard it before and I


    was worried that I was losing my mind until I heard a smallugh.


    “I’m your wolf,” the voice said and I was suddenly filled with inexplicable joy.


    “Are you really?” I asked wanting to pinch myself because it felt like a dream and I didn’t

    want to wake up yet.


    “I was blocked all these years by something. I still haven’t figured out what it is yet.” She paused as


    if she was thinking about something and then she sighed. “I can feel our mate.”


    I wanted to ask who it was and where he was but before I could respond to her, exhaustion won the


    battle and sleep finally imed me.


    BLAKE’S PO.V


    I snuck past the border hoping- no praying- that I wasn’t going to get caught. I spent thest few


    hours searching for a way through the border knowing that I had very limited information and I


    prayed to the goddess I wouldn’t be caught because if anyone was to see me then it would have


    been game over. I was banking on the fact that most of the patrol guards would be at the meeting


    spot.


    When I suspected Brittany, I instantly went to do my own investigation and I found out from a guard


    that she was going with her father to visit the Dark Fangs pack. I had also found out that Amelia had


    somehow stumbled into the pack and I knew that it would be my only chance and opportunity to find


    Amelia.


    Gregory called me to his office a week ago and told me that Amelia was dead. I was rocked by the


    news but I knew there was a reason he was telling me and so I asked him. He told me that he knew


    the reason I was dying my mating with Brittany was because I still loved


    Amelia and that she was now dead so there was need to wait. I asked how she died and

    all he told me was that she betrayed the pack and paid the price. I remembered that conversation I


    overheard between him and Brittany and I knew that he had something to do with it even if he


    wouldn’t admit it.


    I left his office quietly not believing a word he had said. Even Brittany noticed my weird mood and I


    wanted to ask if she wasn’t the least bit concerned that her sister was dead but I knew it wouldn’t


    end well so I did my own investigation and I got to know about the rogues and Amelia.


    I knew that entering Dark Fangs was as good as a death sentence but I couldn’t bring it in me to


    believe that she was dead. I was not going to believe it until I found concrete proof and I knew the


    only way to do that was to find Amelia or at least find out what happened. when she stumbled onto


    their territory and that was why I was there.

    I knew Amelia couldn’t shift but I also knew that she had a unique scent. It was what drew me to her


    in the first ce and I knew that was my best bet of tracking her. Over two weeks had passed and I


    knew it was a long shot but it was the only option I had. Once I was safely within the pack borders, I


    took shelter in the woods and shifted into my wolf form.


    It was easier to catch scents in wolf form and once I had hidden my clothed beneath a tree stump, I


    took off into the woods. I couldn’t check the main pack because people would recognize a weird


    wolf so I prayed to the goddess that Amelia was or had been in the forest. in the past few days.


    To my luck, there were a few houses on the edge of the forest and I was able to investigate by


    sniffing around. I checked around the first few houses with high hopes but those hopes were


    smashed to the ground. The first two werepletely abandoned and although the others were


    inhabited, I couldn’t even get a trace of Amelia’s scent.


    My hope started to dete like a balloon. I started to wonder if Gregory was telling the truth. Maybe


    Amelia was dead and maybe she was killed a long time ago because I felt like I should have at least


    gotten a glimpse of her if she was still alive. An hour had passed and I knew I had limited time to get


    out of the pack as easily as I had gotten in.


    I had about an hour left before their meeting was over. If I didn’t get out before then, the guards


    would return to their positions and it would be impossible to leave. They would demand to know


    how I entered and Gregory and Brittany would be informed of my arrival. I didn’t want that and I


    debated going back in defeat but something kept telling me to check some more houses so I


    decided to check three more before leaving.


    The first two proved fruitless but something was weird about the third. It was a veryrge three story


    house decorated with beautiful flowers and ornaments. From afar, I couldn’t smell a thing and I


    started to wonder if something was wrong with my nose so I decided to go closer. As I got closer, it


    was like all the scents hit me at once and it took a few minutes to get used to. I realized that the


    flowers around the house were protecting scents from going out and it wasn’t until I bypassed the


    flowers that I got the scents.


    The scents were overwhelming and as I tried to sort through them, I smelled something very


    familiar.
