Amelia Lovecraft

"Mia muffin! You might wanna wake up or you'll be late for work." Mum piped in through the door to my room.

"I'm up..." I stretched with groggy eyes. Pulling down my crop top, I lazily got up from my snug bed. Walking to the bathroom to finish up my morning routine before getting ready for work.

I walked to the closet to pull out an outfit when Lincoln's blazer caught my eye. There had to be a way to hand it over to him. My fingers began to trail over the material, without any forethought I lifted the sleeve to sniff it. A sigh of contentment left my chest at his scent.

"Yes and no one knows what happened to Benjamin...." I heard my dad speak to mum, while I entered the dining room. They were so engrossed in their conversation to notice my presence.

"Good morning family." I smiled.

"Morning Mia." They replied looking up at me.

"What's up?"

"Well, there's a meeting tonight." My father began.

"To which I won't be coming." I entwined my fingers on the table.

"I understand. It's your wish honey. So the meeting, it's to designate Tyler as the new Beta of the pack."

"What? What happened to Benjamin?" I was compelled to ask further.

Dad only shrugged.

Well what can I say, I was happy for Tyler. Benjamin always felt like an unapproachable person.

"Yes! She works at the pack house with maids..."

"She deserves it though."

"I wonder if the Luna accepted the Alpha."

Several whispers were heard as soon as I stepped out of my car. Thank god for werewolf hearing, I could hear the nurses and receptionist gossip. Sucking in a breath, I walked into the entrance of the hospital. The murmurs died down and the ladies instantly stood up and bowed. What the actual- ugh!

"Morning Lu-"

"Good morning. It's Amelia or Dr. Lovecraft." I smiled with a nod and proceeded into the corridors.

I was absolutely clueless about what would happen to Lincoln and myself next, since he draped the blazer around me. A few knew we were mates but no one really publicly made a statement of it. When an Alpha usually finds his mate, there held a ceremony before they mated. It was to inform to the pack of their Luna. Even though the packs obeyed their Alphas, the Luna usually was like the mother for all in the territory. She cared for everyone. What did the moon goddess think when she put together myself with Lincoln, an Alpha? That too with him being a cold hearted one, leading the most potent pack. All I wanted was a simple life. And yet here I was in the midst of so much attention, known as the Alpha's unwanted mate. While he had his lover right beside him. What happened to the words he spoke to me. Is he really breaking up with Sarah? Why did Tyler take up the position as Beta? Where is Benjamin?

By the time I reached my work space, all these questions began to give me a headache.

"Hey! Are you okay?" Alex walked in with concern as he saw me frown, rubbing my head.

"I'm fine Alex, just a slight headache."

"You could go home and relax. I understand Mia." He held my hand, looking at me with sincere care.

"No." I shook my head. "I'm good." I grinned at him.

"Are you sleeping well?"

"Mhmm." I nodded.

"You know you could talk to me. I'm right here." He crossed his arms, waiting for me to say something.

"I don't know Alex, it's just a lot. You know. The whole mate thing was there, like I didn't wanna bother since he had Sarah. And then suddenly he does something so absurd in front of the whole pack that night." I sighed. "I don't get it Alex. I don't understand him."

Alex simply chuckled. "No one understands the Alpha. The man is too great to be calculated." I'm his mate for crying out loud. "But... when he threw his blazer on you. Damn! He proved his point. He made sure to let everyone know you were his."

"Yeah, let's not forget the part where he already has a lover..." I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Well, not anymore." He placed his hands in his pockets.

"Not anymore?"

"Yes, one of the nurse's mother works at the pack house and she said Sarah has been sent to work as a helper there." He informed. So Lincoln broke up with her as he said. Why did he have to make her work for the pack house? A part of me felt hurt for Sarah. Whatever she may be, she didn't deserve such treatment. Imagine being dumped by your boyfriend, and then being treated this way. I knew for sure the maids wouldn't be pleased with her and they'd probably give her a hard time. Lincoln was a heartless wolf after all. He used the girl and threw her out like trash.

"The bitch literally warned you to stay away from Lincoln. Threatened you because her brother was the fucking Beta. And you feel her pain? Wow my human is a special kind of stupid." Heera snickered. She had a point.

"What happened to Benjamin? Tyler is gonna be the new Beta. Why?" I asked him quietly.

Just like dad, Alex also shrugged cluelessly. What is wrong with you Lincoln? Punishing Sarah for loving you, making her brother resign. All because you were done with her. I hate you so much.

"Well, we'll hopefully have our answers tonight. Let's get back to work." Alex spoke up.

~~~~~

It's been almost the end of the day, when I visited Rosalie.

"You're all good to go home."

"Thank you Mia." She steadily hopped off the bed.Rosalie seemed a lot happier during her healing process.

"Do you have to work as a maid after this? You've been through so much." I asked.

She shook her head instantly, "no Alpha Lincoln, paid father for my studies. He was kind enough to provide us sufficiently, I'm thinking about travelling outside the pack to continue my education." She rocked on her heel and toe in excitement. My heart warmed at his actions but, then again it was his fault Sarah treated the poor girls so badly.

"Well, that's great news." I laughed at her enthusiasm.

"Mia?" She called me cautiously.

I looked at her. "Are you the Luna of the pack?"

I froze at the question. That was simple thing to ask but yet so complicated for me. I didn't know what to say.

"When the moon goddess gave us a tough and scary Alpha, it was only right for her to give us a Luna as amiable as you. Isn't it perfect?" She squeezed my hand in hers with hope. How I wanted to tell her that I don't plan being their Luna.

"Miss Lovecraft?" A bold masculine voice called out from the entrance. I was thankful I didn't have to give Rosalie an answer, because now our attention was focused on the man standing at the front of the ward.

Kayden Foster. The well known business big shot of The Blood Hunters Pack. He had a lean built body, almost as tall as Lincoln. He stood there with his formal suit that clad his body just right. He didn't look like he needed any medical assistance. Rosalie and I shared a confused looked. I stepped away from her and walked to him.

"That's me."

"Oh I know, Kayden Foster." He held his hand out. I took it and in an instant he placed a soft kiss on top of my hand. I gasp left my lip, that was unexpected.

"Hi?" I narrowed my eyebrows, slowly pulling my hand out of his hold. He only smirked. What did this man want now?

"Mia, this is Mr. Foster. He's made donations to the hospital this morning." Alex piped in with an introduction. Donations? The hospital was already well equipped. Maybe they did need other donations for the patients or something. I had to ask Alex about it later.

"I see, that's very kind of you." I smile at him.

"Dr. Thornton you didn't really have to say that now." He laughed.

Alex and Kayden shared a few a formal discussion, with me standing awkwardly there.

"It was nice meeting you Mr. Foster, I should get back to-" he cut me off before I could finish.

"Oh well I came by to talk to you Amelia. If you have a second." He glanced my way with interest.

"Oh sorry, I'll get going then. Mia I'll see you before you leave." Alex smiled and walked away.

"How can I help you Mr. Foster?" I asked him with a tone of seriousness.

"Please call me Kayden. I've heard so much about you."

"About me? I hope they're good things." I laughed.

"Of course, yes! Heard your patients adored you so much."

"Oh?" That was something no one has ever told me. He nodded his head. His straight strands of dirty blonde hair fell upon his forehead. He casually raked them back to its earlier style. At the sight of that you were immediately drawn to his ocean blue eyes.

"Yeah. And then that intrigued me to find out who this doctor was. I saw a glimpse of you at the last pack gathering, until the rogues had to ruin it." Intrigued by me? He seemed very forward with his words.

"I guess you've seen me now." I smiled nervously, feeling awkward under his gaze. Dad used to tell me that after the Hunters family, it was Kayden Foster and his dad with very wealthy backgrounds, and a line of very strong wolves who fought along side Alphas and Betas. So it meant Kayden was also worthy of Alpha status.

"I'm glad I have Amelia." He mentioned my name with so much depth. It felt he already knew me well. Heera on the other side, seemed curious. She sniffed and her ears peaked up as her tail curled inwards. My wolf was alert of this new person we've met. I took two steps back to calm her down.

"It was a pleasure meeting Kayden." I gave him a kind smile.

"I'll see you around then." He winked before turning to the exit, and disappeared.

I walked back to the bed where Rosalie was on and she had already left. Of course she left. The time spent with Kayden was longer than intended.
