Analise's POV

After pondering for a long time, I finally decided to tell the others about Amelia which leads to why I felt like I was some sort of celebrity in my father's office. Since I called for the meeting every pair of eyes in the room was fixed on me, waiting for me to disclose whatever I had to say. As many of the leaders were gone scouting with their people, there was only two of them and few packs here.

Clearing my throat, I started. "So you guys are probably wondering why I called you all here on such short notice. Well, I may have found something that could help us to defeat the vampires." I rounded the table and stood in front, facing everybody. "As many of you might not know it, we had another fight with the vampires long time back. Right grandmother?"

As realisation dawned upon her, she nodded

"Right. And we also won it with the help of someone rather special I must say. Amelia Del Rosa."

"The female black wolf" My grandmother said in a hushed voice and I hummed in response.

"So? What do you want to say?" Father said, growing impatient as the time passed by.

"What I want to say is, years ago Amelia helped us defeat the vampires and not only this but was the one to kill the King that is the leader which we all know is not something easy to do. I suggest we find her and try get her to help us this time again."

Everybody looked at me with calculative eyes before the leader of the witches, Elena spoke. "How do we know we will find her and even if we did, how can we be sure she would help us."

"I never said that we will find her and neither did I say that she will help us but we can't just go by that possibility only. I know the chances of actually finding her are very slim but there is also that small part that we can find her. So, I think we should try our best to find her and even if she does not help us, at least we could try to get some information from her on how to defeat the vampire king."

"Let's say we agree. How will we know where she is?" Mother spoke.

"I have the solution to that too." I connected my phone to the projector I got installed in the room for today and opened the picture I took. The reflection of the picture was seen on the wall right across from us. I moved towards the wall and started showing the different markings on the map while speaking "I think that these three marks that we see on the map have something to do with where she could be staying."

"It's what you think. How can we trust what you think" Ivory's voice reached my ears and I internally cringed

"Don't. To trust me and work with me is your choice and I can't do anything if you don't agree with me." I glared at her before continuing. "So, as I was saying, if these marks actually have something to do with Amelia, then we could find her. So, what do you all think?"

"There is a big possibility of us failing at it and we would lose the time that we could use to be training and doing other better things." Rayna said

"Yes. Will it not be a waste of time, resources and energy if it does not work out in the end?" Ryan voiced out.

"If we would go by that thought, then today, none of us would be where we are. No matter what decisions you take there is always its drawbacks but that does not mean to not take the risk at all." I said, not bothering to hide my annoyance at their stupid reactions. "So, who is going?" I took in a deep breath to calm myself down.

"My coven and I will be ready to help princess." Elena said

"A few of the packs will go too" Grandmother intercepted before my father could get anything in.

"King Denver?" I asked him as he was looking at me, deep in his own thoughts. I raised an eyebrow at him.

He sat up straight and finally replied. "I will help" Unknowingly, I found the corners of my lips tugging into a small smile.

"It's done then. As Analise said, we have three spots to check out in total. So we will make three teams. The teams won't be too big as we need most of you here to protect the castle and continue training since the others are not within the castle walls either. There will be a total of three teams. The first one consisting of Elena and two other witches. I would appreciate it if you would leave your second in command or someone that has power over your people here just in case something might happen. The second team will consist of one of the packs here. And finally the last team will consist of King Denver and Analise." My eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets when I heard the last words coming out from my grandmother's mouth.

"Can I not go with the pack?" I asked as I looked at my grandmother who was smirking at me. She must know about me and Alexander being mate. Otherwise, there is no way she should let me go with one of our enemies on a mission by myself.

"You know the things with pack and their alphas Analise. The alpha will not want someone else with high authority, let alone the princess to be with him. You will clash because he will feel he is not in power." She is really cunning for her age. Maybe a bit too much

Nah. I like her.

Of course you would.

"Why can I not go with Alpha Axel's pack? He knows me and we get along fine. I doubt there will be any clash between us" I retorted. I heard a low growl from Alexander as he threw daggers at me.

"I am sorry Analise but I don't want to take the risk of anything happening during this mission. You may not clash with the alpha but the other people coming could clash with you."

I was about to say something but nothing came out of my mouth. I opened my mouth and closed it again. My grandmother wore a smug look as I scowled. "So it is decided then. Each team will leave in a few hours since the sooner, the better." Grandmother chirped as if she was sending us to some sort of vacation to relax instead of going to in search of probably the strongest werewolf. "Elena please inform the two other witches going with you to come here. Gabriel, call in the alpha and tell him to bring his people he chose to go with him."

Elena did some sort of magic with her hands and soon two witches came though the door followed by one of the alphas and two other werewolves behind him.

"Let's discuss who will go where now" Grandmother started and she made sure that Alexander and I get the one the furthest away from the castle. We discussed our mode of transport and also got ourselves copies of maps along with the photo of the map I took before everybody started leaving to get ready.

Before going out, I went to my grandmother and whispered in her ears. "I know you know about the thing between me and Alexander. How?"

She laughed before looking at me. "I am your grandmother dear. Have some fun for once in your life and don't worry about others. Take this mission and get closure."

I rolled my eyes. "If only things would be this easy grandma."

"It will be with time. Don't worry." Before I left, grandmother pulled my back and whispered in my ears "You two look cute together. I can't wait to see your kids." With this being said, she left me standing there with my my jaws on the floor.

I love her

Traitor!

With my face red as a tomato, I made my way to my room. I closed my door and groaned. Grandmas really know how to embarrass you. Since I had only a few hours left before we left, I went in my closet and started packing some clothes, the diary and other necessities as I did not know for how long we would actually be going to be in search until we found her.

An hour later, I was done and quickly chose my outfit and laid it on my bed. I chose a simple black, skinny jeans along with a plain black t-shirt.

Stripping off of my clothes, I got into the shower. The warm water against my skin, relaxed all my muscles and I let out a small sigh of relief. I rested my head against the wall as I assimilated my situation.

First, I found out about Amelia. Great!

Then, I have to go search for her. No problem

But, I have to go with ALEXANDER!!

I don't even know how I will mange to stay composed around him as I am always a mess around him. How will we act? Things will surely be awkward after the last encounter we had. How would I manage to not try to kill him and kiss him at the same time. What is even worse is that we don't know how long it will take for us to find her and get back which also means I don't know how long I will have to spend with him and that too alone. Maybe he will bring some of his people with us. At least one of them.

I got out of the shower and the steam moved out from the cubicle, into the rest of the bathroom, causing fog to rise on the mirror. I sighed and wrapped a towel around me before getting out of the bathroom with the different thoughts running through my mind all at once, nearly giving me a headache.

During all of this thinking, I did not realise that I walked straight into the wall and slipped on the floor. I yelped and waited for the impact with the hard, cold floor to come but instead it never came. I was pulled up against something hard- the wall that I had actually just walked into like the clumsy girl I am.

Opening my eyes, I was met with a familiar pair of dark blue eyes staring down at me with an eyebrow raised. My eyes widened like saucers as reality came crashing down on me. The wall I walked into was actually Alexander. Upon hitting him, I stumbled back and accidentally let go of my towel which was now pooled underneath me and my now naked body was pressed flushed against his with his hands holding me by the waist.

I felt my whole body heat up in a matter of a few seconds along with the feeling of something bubbling under my skin from the contact of our bodies. The area where his hand was in contact with my exposed skin was felt like it was on fire due to the sparks. Our bodies rubbed against each other and the friction warmed my skin even more. I could not muster the courage to look away from his eyes to the position we were currently in. I am pretty sure he could feel my erect nipples through the material of his shirt. He pulled me forward so that I was standing properly on my feet. Still maintaining eye contact, he got the towel from the floor and wrapped it around my body, tucking it securely. My hands held the towel in place on instinct so that it would not fall again.

I cleared my throat awkwardly. "Can't you knock?"

"I did not know you would be walking around with nothing but just a towel around you" He deadpanned. "Besides, I did knock but you did not answer"

How lost was I in my thoughts.

"Whatever. Did you need something?"

"We are leaving in a few minutes. Get ready. I am waiting outside." He said and turned on his heels and was out of the room in seconds. I closed the door and locked it before getting ready, still flustered. I grabbed my bag and made my way outside to set on probably one of the most awkward journeys I would have in life.
