BLAKE’S P.O.V

My head was pounding in my skull. It almost felt like someone was using my head to do construction work. I tried to open my eyes but couldn’t, merely doing that was too much for me. I had never felt so weak or worn out in my life.


I could feel the cold ground under me and I tried to figure out what I was doing on the ground when the memories slammed into me like a freight train. I cursed and rushed to my feet, ignoring the pounding in my skull and the ache in my body.

The room looked the same as it did before I passed out but the only difference was Amelia’s stale scent. I cursed under my breath and looked through my pocket for my phone only to find it missing. A growl nearly ripped from my throat. She had played me.

I was doing everything for her- for us- and this was how she betrayed me. There must have been something in the wine. She planned this in advance and she fucking left. If I had the energy, I would have ripped the entire room apart but I didn’t have the time to waste on that. I needed to find her.


She didn’t know what was good for her, she didn’t know that I was what she wanted yet. She was still under Kaden’s brainwashing, I thought she was over it but she wasn’t. She just needed some more time with me and I knew she would be fine. I headed for the door only to find it locked. I tried and failed to open it but I couldn’t. She had locked it from the outside.

“Fuck!” I screamed slamming my fists against the door. “Amelia, you little fucking bitch!”


I slammed my palm against the door but nothing budged. Out of fear that she would escape, I had renovated the door. She couldn’t break it down and neither could I because I couldn’t even feel my wolf. There was no way to get out, there was no way to get anyone’s attention either. I was locked in.

I cursed, dragging myself into the room. The windows were barricaded but if I could get it open, I would be able to scream and hope that someone would find me. I dragged myself over there and opened the window, screaming as loud as I could but there was no response. I wondered if the guards could hear me or if they were ignoring me. I had asked them to ignore any sounds coming from here.

I screamed for the better part of half an hour until I realized no one was going to come and sank to the ground. My own plans had backfired on me. I didn’t know whether to laugh or not.

I wasn’t sure how long I lay on the ground until I heard the sound of something slamming against another. I got to my feet in time to see the front door being broken down as Alex walked in with a few guards behind her.

“What the hell happened to your phone? I have been trying to call you and I have been knocking but you didn’t answer,” she spat, her hands crossed over her chest. “It has been hours.”

“How many hours?” I asked, scared for the answer I would get.

“The last time I saw you was yesterday evening after your fight with Kaden. What is going on?”

“Gather the guards and the spies, ask them to find Amelia. She couldn’t have gone too far. She doesn’t know where she is. Find her before she finds Kaden,” her eyes widened in shock. “Now, Alex, fucking move.”

She turned to the guards. “You heard your Alpha, find her!”

They rushed out before another word left her lips. I ran my hands through my hair in frustration and slacked into the chair. I could feel Alex’s eyes on me as she slowly made her way over to me. I could feel her apprehension and worry.

“How did she get out?” she asked slowly and I smiled humorlessly.

“She drugged me with that fucking potion- the one to smother her wolf. I don’t know how much she gave me but it knocked me right out and I cannot feel my wolf.”

She gasped. “We need to get you to a healer. There might be something wrong-”

“I will not do anything until I find her,” I ground out.

“Come on, Blake, don’t be stupid. She wants to be with Kaden so let her. Just leave her alone and move on. You have Brittany and you have me-”

“You?” I asked with a laugh. “You are a whore, Alex, that is all you are and all you will ever be. You’re good for a fucking good lay but you are not fit to be a Luna. Amelia is my Luna, Amelia is my mate and she is under Kaden’s manipulation. If I find her, I can help her get better.”

I could see the hurt on Alex’s face. This was the first time I had ever called her a whore and I should have felt bad but I couldn’t bring myself to apologize.

“In the entire pack, you are the only person who had never called me a whore,” her voice cracked on the end. “I hope you find her, I truly do because no one will willingly deal with this shitty personality of yours.”

“That isn’t what you said when you were bouncing on my dick a few weeks ago.”

She laughed. “Yes, I fucked you and maybe that makes me a whore but you fucked me too and you fucked Brittany yet you claim to be head over heels in love with her. You claim that she is your mate but you mated with Brittany. If I’m a whore because I fucked only Gregory then what does that make you that fucked two girls and claims to want another-”

The words were barely out of her mouth when I had her pinned to the wall by her throat. She just smiled, my hold wasn’t as strong as it could be. I didn’t have my wolf so I didn’t have my full strength but she made no move to stop me.

“Get out,” I hissed throwing her to the ground. “Find Amelia and don’t ever show your face again.”
