**Antonio**



I walked back into the house after passing the death verdict on the two men that had journeyed along mile, abandoned their pack and all they could tell me was that I was prone to loose.

Pathetic beings.

"Amelia, I did send you on an errand didn't I?" I asked as I came into the parlor to see Amelia and Damien playing rock, paper, scissors.


"Yeah, you did." She answered simply and went back to playing the game which made me more annoyed than I already was.

"And so what are you doing?" I questioned as I glared at Damien who withdrew his hands immediately as he realized that I was raging inside of me.



"I know you're scared of losing her powers to another Pack but at least treat some of us here with some respect." Amelia stated looking ay me resignedly like she was tired of me.

"And what do you mean by that?" I questioned as i grabbed a bottle water and emptied the contents into a glass water while taking it all in one go.

"Exactly, this is exactly what I'm talking about. Since Leila was kidnapped, all you've done is command everyone that everyone around here now thinks of you as a monster. They won't tell you but I will."

"I'm still your daughter, stop making me think otherwise." Amelia grumbled before nudging Damien for them to go back to the game they were playing before I interrupted.

Too tired to say a ward, i just ignored them and went up to my room wondering why none of them would understand what ta total loss it will be for me if another pack discovered and utilizes Leila's power before I do and that made and gave all the more reasons why I had to find her as soon as possible.

If she was with Lucian, then there was no doubt that they had already found out about her powers especially since her powers tended to act up whenever she was with her fated mate.


But that thought also raised some kind of curiosity in me.

I knew for sure that why Alpha Xander wanted her to play the role at that ceremony was to be able to unlock her powers and make her dormant Wolf come into activeness.

That only revealed the fact that he hadn't unlocked her powers yet and they hadn't acknowledged their mate bond.

According to the rules, she wasn't supposed to find a second chance mate unless her first original mate was dead or he had rejected her and as far as i knew, none of these had happened with Xander.

Amelia was a mysterious being and things didn't work as planned whenever it came to her.

My head has been clouded a lot with thoughts recently and I wished there was a way to pause time so I would stop thinking for a second but no!

My brain was always running hundred miles a minute, reminding me of things that i didn't even care about.

Speaking of remembrance, the two men that had come here said as at the time Alpha Xander wanted Leila to prepare for the role of the priestess, he was without the artifact and no matter how much I wanted to doubt that single information, I ended up believing it all the more.

If he wasn't with the artifact to unlock her powers then why did he want her to play such crucial role?

I couldn't stop thinking and yet I couldn't come up with an answer either.

What if Alpha Xander knew my motive all along and was just playing me?

There was a possibility that could be true but there was no way for me to prove it and I couldn't work without proof.

Though my instincts sensed it, it wasn't so strong so my instincts could also be wrong.

My thoughts clouded my mind that i made a decision immediately and decided to go and relate it with Amelia and Damien if the both of them were still in the living room.

Strodding down the stairs, I started trying my best to put in my thoughts and decision one and by one so it would be ready by the time I laid it out to them but as I approached the living room, i couldn't hear any sign of life.

They were playing and laughing when I left them or had they gone about the orders I gave to Amelia?

I was about turning to go back upstairs when I hears a weird sound and I turned sharply, walking straight into the living room.

When I got there, my eyes nearly bulged out of my socket as I stared at Amelia and Damien kissing and nibbling at each others lip like they were trying to swallow each other.

It wasn't supposed to be shocking but I guess when it came to my emotions these days, I wasn't able to lay a hand on it.


"Mmmhmm," i started clearing my throat trying to get their attention.

"If you want to do any of that, my advice is that you get a room because the living room is a general place and not a place for your sexual escapades." I scolded and they immediately got off each other while Amelia blushed in definitely.

"Ohh, we thought you went up to your room to nap a bit." Amelia said playing with her hair and I just rolled my eyes.

I couldn't blame her though. I had felt what she was feeling right now once in a lifetime when I fell in love with her mother.


"Let's pretend I didn't see any of that. Amelia, whatever you find of Lucian's Pack before dusk report it back to me. And Secondly, we would be dividing the armies because we will be launching two attacks tomorrow." I explained and the both of them just stared at me like I had spoken in a language they couldn't understand.

"What? Two attacks? We haven't even had time to think yet." Amelia yelled standing up abruptly.

"Well, I have decided it and that's exactly how its going to be. Find out all you can about Lucian's pack before night fall. Damien would divide the armies into two equal parts and one set would go with him to attack Alpha Xander while the other set would come with me to find Leila." I declared putting an imaginary seal on it.
