Chapter 8.
As lady Sabrina left the room, Ace let out a long breath. He felt a strange mixture of relief and loneliness. It was true that he appreciated her company, but he really did need some time to himself. He wandered over to the window and gazed out at the night sky. The stars were shining brightly, and he felt a sense of peace wash over him. In that moment, he felt like he could finally breathe. But then, his thoughts turned to the strange feeling that had been nagging at him all day. He couldn’t quite put his finger on it, but something just felt… off. His mind immediately went back to Amora.
” She has been unconscious for long.
*”Are you worried about her”?, Roa asked*
*”Yes of course, she’s one of my subject*
*”Your subject “? . Since when did you start caring about the omegas?*
*You’re talking too much Roa, Ace cut off the mind link*
He looked up to the full moon above and sighed. “What game are you playing fate “? . As soon as I find out she’s my mate, I’m rejecting her, she can’t be my weakness and…. Is for her own Ace muttered, closing his eyes.

*SNOW PACK MEADOW*
“Mother”? Juliet called seeing the helpless woman on the floor.
“My daughter”?, Any news about your friend? Helen asked.
Nothing at all mother Juliet sighed shaking her head.
Helen , still reeling from the news of her daughter’s arrest, hasn’t been herself.
“Mother ,” Juliet said, reaching out to take the mother’s hand. “I just wanted to check on you, make sure you’re okay. The neighbors told me you haven’t be out of your room since Amora’s arrest.
” Helen’s eyes filled with tears. “I’m not okay,” she said, her voice trembling. “I’m so worried about my daughter. I don’t know what to do.
“Oh mother” Juliet said giving Helen’s hand a gentle squeeze. “You don’t have to face this alone,” she said. “I’m here for you, and we’ll figure this out together. Maybe we can go to the castle tomorrow and talk to someone, try to find out more about what’s going on.
Helen shook her head. “They won’t let me see her,” she said, her voice breaking. “I don’t even know where they’re keeping her.
Juliet bit her lip, thinking hard. “Maybe I could talk to one of the guards at the farm, he’s a friend of Amora and I ,” she suggested. “Maybe he knows something about the situation.
Helen’s face lighten up, she looked doubtful, but she nodded slowly. “It’s worth a try,” she said. “Maybe we can at least find out where they’re keeping her, so I can send her a letter.
Juliet gave her a reassuring smile. “I will make it work mother you don’t have to worry, Amora is like a sister to me and you?, ” The mother I don’t have” she said. “In the meantime, why don’t you get some rest? You must be exhausted.
Helen nodded, knowing Juliet was right. She needed to rest, so she could be strong for her daughter. With a sigh, she headed to her bedroom, leaving Juliet to sit in the living room, lost in her own thoughts.
“Amora”? Hope you’re safe wherever you’re. Please dear goddess keep my sister safe Juliet muttered before shutting her eyes.
*SNOW PACK CASTLE*
Amora slowly opened her eyes, blinking against the bright light. She felt groggy and disoriented, as if she’d been asleep for days. As her vision cleared, she realized she was lying in a bed in a room she didn’t recognize. She tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness washed over her and she fell back against the pillows. A moment later, ” where am I she asked looking around.
A door opened and a figure stepped into the room.
“You’re awake,” Samantha said, And Amora immediately recognized the voice and her environment .
Amora looked up at Samantha, confused and frightened. ” Please don’t hurt me, I ran away like you instructed but I lost my way and ran into the Alpha and his men, but if you can show me a route back to the medaow, I promise not to come back the castle again.
“Hello,” I’m Samantha the pack’s healer and consultant, and you’re in the infirmary at the castle. Do you remember what happened?
” Amora shook her head, feeling her head throbbing. “I don’t know,” she said, her voice hoarse. “The last thing I remember was running in the woods then… nothing.
” Samantha nodded, her expression sympathetic. “Easy child ,” she said.” You were brought back by the Beta.
“Beta”? Amora said, you mean the guard ?.
” No child ” the Alpha’s right hand man. Speaking of the Alpha, I have to remind him you’re wake.
“Alpha” Samantha bowed, she’s awake .
“Who”? Samantha….. Wait you mean the omega?
“Yes Alpha “.
” Lead me to her at once.
As you wish Alpha.

*ACE POV*
As soon as I left Samantha’s chamber after meeting the girl.
I burst through the door, running inside my chambers. My body was reacting strangely, feeling hot inside while shivering.
I stripped off my clothes, revealing my naked chest, and collapsed heavily on the couch.
I felt the same way as I did the night when I met that mysterious girl in the woods. I wondered what was happening between us.
Maybe she could be my mate. I’ve had my wolf since I turned 18. Since then, I’ve been searching for my mate. My urge for her grew stronger each week, leading me to seek solace in other females.
My dad took his time to explain how you feel when you first meet your mate, and since the night I first met her, I’ve having the symptoms. It’s funny how my wolf groaned whenever I set my eyes on the strange girl.
I just met her few days , and my wolf is already craving her. It’s evident in her demeanor; she’s a mere omega.
An Alpha mated to an Omega…
