Chapter 26

• Amelia's heart was pounding in her chest as she locked herself in her room. She couldn't believe what had just happened. The king, her pack leader, had just made an advance towards her, and even suggested that they get married. The thought of being with him made her stomach churn. She had never thought of him in that way, and the idea of being forced into a marriage with him was terrifying.
• As she paced back and forth in her room, her mind was in a wonderland . She couldn't stop thinking about what had just happened, and the implications of it all. What would happen to her since she rejected the king? Would he punish her, or even worse, kick her out of the pack? But at the same time, she couldn't bear the thought of being with him.
• She collapsed onto her bed, her head in her hands. Tears streamed down her face as she tried to make sense of her emotions. She was scared, confused, and angry all at once.
