Chapter 99
AMELIA'S POV
Walking to I and Donald's usual meeting spot in the dimly lit alley near the border
of Moon Shadow, a sense of anticipation fluttered in my chest. Even though the
Queen Mother hadn't explicitly instructed me to meet him, it was an unspoken
agreement between us that we would meet at our secret meeting place
whenever possible.
However, as I approached the alley, my heart sank at the sight of an empty,
desolate street. Donald was nowhere to be seen, and a sense of disappointment
washed over me. I had been looking forward to our meeting for one reason or the
other.
But as I took a step forward, the dull ache of
my recent injuries reminded me of my limitations. My journey to the alley had
been slow and arduous, my movements hampered by the lingering pain that
coursed through my body. I knew that I couldn't afford to overexert myself, lest I
risk aggravating my injuries further.
With a resigned sigh, I leaned against the cool stone wall of the alley, feeling a
wave of exhaustion wash over me.
Closing my eyes, I took a moment to collect my thoughts and center myself,
drawing strength from within. Donald would understand my absence, I reassured
myself, knowing that he would never want to see me in pain or distress.
And so,
with a heavy heart and a sense of regret, I turned away from the empty alley and
began the slow journey back to my residence.
“Amelia” The voice I so much wanted to hear called my name and my heart
fluttered. My wolf was very happy to hear that very voice as she whined inside
me.
“Donald?” I turned swiftly to face him and he ran over to meet me.
“I've been waiting for a while now. I only turned to see if I'll possibly set my eyes
on you. Luckily, here you are.”
“I'm sorry I delayed you. Something came up.” I tried to smile, hoping that he
wouldn't see through me.

“That's not a problem. It happens.” He said, and he beckoned on me to come sit
with him on a pavement not far away from where we stood.
“Nevertheless, I'm sorry.” I muttered in a low tone.

“It's fine, really. I'll have been the one to stand you up if I didn’t stop all work I had
to do. But, it would be rude to stand a princess.”
As I settled down beside him on the pavement, I couldn't help but feel a rush of
warmth flood through me at his words. His nature, together with the mate bond
put me at ease, and I found myself relaxing in his presence.
“Thank you
for understanding,” I replied softly as I glanced up at him through lowered lashes.
His eyes met mine, and for a moment, the world seemed to fade away as we
shared a silent exchange filled with unspoken emotions.
A small smile tugged at the corners of his lips, and I felt my cheeks flush with
warmth as I realized how close we were sitting. After meeting up a couple of
times, we were more open to each other than usual and by every moment we
spent together, I felt drawn to him the more in ways I never expected.
The intimacy of the moment was not lost on me, and a nervous fluttering
sensation danced in the pit of my stomach as I struggled to find the right words to
say.
“So, how was your day? What kept you so busy?” Donald broke the silence.
“It was... eventful,” I replied, my voice slightly breathless as I recalled the events
of the day.
“...... two emotions that could easily get to a being...... easily approachable and
vulnerable. Fear and empathy...... depends on how you use them...."
Canthra Minerva’'s words became the only thing that lingered in my mind and it
made me momentarily lost in thought as I stopped paying g attention to what
Donald was saying as I tried to figure out what she meant. Though, I had a hint, I
wasn't quite sure.
“Amelia...” Donald tapped my shoulders to jolt me back to reality and I winced
slightly.
“A penny for you thoughts. I'm sorry if I tapped you hard.” He focused all his
attention on me. “Are you fine?”

“Sure, I am. I..." I trailed off, staring at him.
“Is there something you're not saying?”
“No, nothing.” I answered, averting my gaze.

“Amelia,” he called out a bit louder, forcing me to look at him. The way he did it, I
couldn't explain. All I knew was that our gaze locked the moment he called my
name in that different tone.
Then, it occured to me what the Queen mother meant. The way Donald looked at
me said it all. What she meant was which was for me to use the pain she inflicted
on me to get to Donald by making him empathize with me, given the mate bond
between them.

As Donald's concerned gaze bore into mine, I couldn't help but feel a surge of
guilt wash over me. He was trying to understand, trying to connect with me on a
deeper level, and yet here I was, hiding the truth from him. What choice do I
have? The mission must be accomplished.
Taking a deep breath, I squared my shoulders and met his gaze head-on,
determined to lay my cards on the table.
“You know you can to speak to me right? What's wrong?” His voice shook my
insides with how soft and full of concern it sounded to me.
“Nothing, really. I'm just tired.”
“I'm surely not buying that. I don’t know why, but I have a feeling that something
more is bothering you. Moreover, why did you wince when I touched you earlier?
Sounds like you're in pain.”
Oh, Goddesss! This was it. I had no choice and slowly I began to open up to him.
It made me feel better and I would achieve my aim that way. Killing two birds with
one stone.
“That's because, I am really in pain.” I was honest.
“What happened? Did you get injured?”
“Kind of. I got punished, thus, the wounds.”
“I'm so sorry about that. Have you gotten it treated?”
