Amelia Lovecraft

The days went on as usual, him showing up at the pack hospital, every other day. For god knows what. His presence though terrified the children, the children's wards that resonated with squeals and giggles becomes drop dead silent when he's around. Sometimes the little pups make so much noise that it makes it hard for us to concentrate on other things. A few of them have been hospitalized for a couple of days for recovery. They seem to be the noisiest since they're stuck in one place. How I wish the Alpha could sit outside the wards so the pups would behave.

"Yeah, you'll surely like that, won't you?" Heera mocked.

"Ugh can't I make one pathetic joke!"

"You and I, both know it wasn't a joke." She replied.

Rolling my eyes at her, I carried on with my work.

"Mia!" I heard little Maddison shout as I walked into the room. As if on cue, every little one in the room began jumping up and down to grab my attention.

"I finished my breakfast on time!" Maddison spoke.

"Mark pulled my teddy last night.." Sandy pouted.

"There's my girlfriend." George yelled.

After attending to all my patients, I made my way to have lunch with Alex. As usual we exchanged a few stories that made each other laugh.

"Amaya and Jason are going clubbing tonight, and they've invited me, would you like to come?" Alex asked.

"I'd love to.." I smiled at him, I loved being friends with Amaya and Lilly recently. They're the girls who knew all the gossip about the pack and were great fun to hangout with.

Striding onto my workroom, I noticed a blonde already seated at the patient's seat.

"Yes?" I asked as I walked closer.

"Amelia Lovecraft?" She asked as she crossed her leg over the other. She wore a nude body-con dress that stopped above her mid thigh. Her blood red lips contrasting to her hair. She looked absolutely stunning, as if she stepped out of a magazine. She took her sunglasses off... Sarah Cohen. My body straightened up at her being present here in front of me.

Her blue eyes ran over my figure from head to toe. My hair, my black dress to my pumps she scrutinized my appearance before her face turned into disgust.

It took me a minute to realize it and as soon as I knew she tried to belittle me, a scoff left my lips as I crossed my arms and raised an eyebrow at her. If she can act like a bitch then I can be worse. "How can I help you?"

"I knew something was up the first time I saw you here. The little daze you and Lincoln got stuck in. Remember?" She smirked.

I bit my lip. I needed to know why she was here.

"A word spread saying that Lincoln came to see you at the railway station that night. Is it true Amelia?" She stood up.

I smiled at her, her question seemed smooth but behind it was a lot of hidden desperation. "I don't know what you're talking about... Did Lincoln come to see me?" I pretended I think a little. "Maybe you should ask him about it. Don't you think?" I shrugged and took my seat.

"Listen here, you're speaking to the future Luna. I demand respect." She slammed the desk. Oh not so pretty and elegant now, are we?

I let out a breath, "pardon me, I thought I replied quite respectfully. Future. Luna." I emphasized the last two words.

"Let me remind you one thing Amelia, he's mine! I claimed him before you did and it stays that way. You understand?" She gritted her teeth, her face turning red as a tomato.

"You may share a foolish mate bond, but I've given him more. I know Lincoln like no one else and that will always have him coming after me." She hit the nerve but I masked it up by looking down at a few prescriptions.

"Do I look I collect scraps? Hmm? Honey I'm better off alone than have a grumpy ass mate with a crazy girlfriend. Too much drama for me. No thank you." I felt her relax after hearing my words. She wasn't even aware of the part where I called her crazy.

"Ju- just stay away from him. Don't forget my brother's the Beta." She warned before stepping away.

"Don't forget to put your man on a leash." I replied, watching her storm out of the room.

I laid back on my seat and closed my eyes for a few minutes. The mate situation was already out of hand and now that Sarah has interfered I can only expect things to get worse.

~~~~~

Alex and I entered the not so crowded part of the club. Normally I'd expect a lot of people drunk and dancing. Thankfully it wasn't the case here. Everyone seemed laid back and only a few people on the dance floor.

"They're over there, come on Mia." He held my hand and walked to the already crowded table.

By the time we walked closer, I smiled at the familiar faces Amaya, Jason, Lilly and Logan. Looking to my right I saw Tyler and a pretty brunette beside him, the both of them giving me friendly smile. The mark on the girl's shoulder made me realize it was his mate. I returned a smile and sat alongside Alex. "Amelia right?" Tyler asked.

"Yes." I replied.

"I'm Tyler and this is my mate Tania." He spoke, rubbing his mate's arm.

Greeting each other, we ordered a few drinks. Surprisingly Tyler has been the friendliest out of the lot. During the trainings and other gatherings he had a very stern, rough and tough demeanour. Almost similar to Lincoln. In fact all the higher ranking wolves seemed very unfriendly during the trainings. I began thinking how Lincoln would be around his family and friends. How would his laugh sound like? What would make him happy? How did he behave around his parents?

"Are you alright Amelia?" A soft voice spoke out, holding my hand. I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up to see Tania looking at me with a smile and Tyler staring at me with his eyebrows furrowed.

"Yes... I'm perfectly fine."

"Yeah she does that every now and then. She drifts to dreamland, just like that." Amaya intervened.

"Oh shut up!" I threw a napkin at her.

"Thank you!" She giggled, picking the napkin and wiping the edge of her lip.

Tania chuckled shyly, as I shook my head at Amaya.

Lilly and Amaya spoke about a fair held at the training grounds next week, where other packs are also invited. It was something Alpha Elijah and the Luna had organized two years ago, there would be stalls, games and of course lots of food. As much as I was new to the news so was Tania. Tyler later explained how she belonged to the neighbouring pack and how they met.

As he spoke about her, he held so much adoration in his eyes for his mate. Apparently she was a little wolf who was abused since childhood and never had a family. He had found her when he visited their pack with Lincoln. He said how she's still afraid of crowds and loud noises so he takes care of her. "She's my baby." He said before kissing her cheek. It was the most beautiful sight to watch. The moon goddess gave Tania the most valuable gift.

The other two couples began dancing as Alex and I spoke about a few things at the hospital.

"Why not?" Tyler chuckled at Tania.

"No Ty! You know I won't.." she pouted, giving him the puppy eyes. He hummed in response. Tania noticed me looking at them.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Ty wants me to dance..." She told me and glared at him in the cutest way possible. "Go away you silly." She swatted his hand away.

"You're very cute." I laughed at her. In an instant Tania's cheeks turned pink.

"And you're very beautiful." She complimented me back. "I like you very much."

"I like you too Tania."

"You know, you should dance with Ty." Tania suggested.

"What? No!"

"He's a good dancer Mia!" Alex informed.

"Still no!" I crossed my hands. "I'm just like you Tania, I don't dance." Tyler watched me intently, as if he was thinking of something at the back of his head.

"You know what, I'll teach you!" Tyler immediately stood up. "Baby stay close to Alex, I'll be back. Just watch me from here okay." He kissed his mate and held his hand out for me.

"Get up doc!" He motioned his fingers for me to stand.

"Go!" Tania laughed.

"Wait, no-" I couldn't finish protesting because, Tyler had already dragged me to the dance floor with Alex and Tania laughing at me.
