The 5-time Rejected Luna Queen

that he is okay and then I’ll leave after that, I promise."

Scarlett stared at me for a long time, "You have only till then to walk away willingly from the pack, Amelia, don’t test my patience."

I watched her walk away, and as more tears rolled my eyes, I rested my back on the wall for assistance so I wouldn’t end up falling. Every damn thing was falling apart and it was all my fault. If only I hadn’t believed those witches about my family origin and walked right into their traps. My desperation had led to Dexter being in danger because he had come to save me.

I had no idea the witch planned to kill me and my unborn baby because, according to their prophecy, my baby would bring doom to their kind.

"Amelia, he’s awake." I heard Karla’s voice from the entrance of the room where Dexter was and I instantly rose to my feet.

As I rushed inside the room, Karla stepped aside, and seeing Dexter, I instantly rushed towards him, "Hey, my love, can you hear me?" I uttered, gently touching his forehead. He was burning badly while trying so hard to fight the venom of the vampire bite coursing through his veins,

"A...Amelia?" He called my name softly, and I moved even closer, "Y..yes, it’s me, Dexter, it’s me. I’m here baby." I muttered, crying uncontrollably,

"I’m so glad you’re okay." He uttered faintly into my ears,

"I’m fine. But you aren’t fine, Dexter. We need to find a cure for you as soon as possible because I can’t let you die. I’m not going to let you die no matter what." I uttered, but he gently raised his finger to my face, and rubbed my cheeks gently,

"As long as you’re okay, I’ll be fine no matter what."

That was a big lie. He groaned aloud in pain, and I held his hand tight. "Just hang in there, my love; you’re going to be okay, I promise."

I darted my gaze to Karla who was standing behind me, "What do we do? We can’t leave him like this for long, else he’s going to die, Karla, he’s going to die." I uttered, but the door burst open and Daniel walked right in,

"How’s he? How’s Dexter?"

"He was awake a few seconds ago, but he’s in so much pain, Daniel. Please tell me if you have any good news from a witch."

He shook his head in negation, and at this point, a part of me just wanted to rip everything apart. I really couldn’t leave Dexter in pain like this,

"Do you trust me?" Karla broke the silence,

"What do you mean?" I responded, but she simply darted her gaze to Daniel,

"Stay here, Amelia. No matter what, do not leave his side. I’ll be back and I’ll certainly be back with anything relating to the cure, I promise."

Even though I didn’t understand what she was about to do, I nodded my head, telling myself to trust Karla. She had saved me so many times already, and most times, I had a feeling there was something special about her.
