Amelia's POV

"He saved me." I said in disbelief.

I stared at my reflection and grimaced at the bruise on my cheek and jaw. It'd be gone soon.

Yet I couldn't put it together. He hated me... so why had he saved me? Maybe it was just a possessive thing.

"No one can beat her or violate her, but me." I could very well imagine him saying that.

"Amelia?" A soft voice said and a knock followed.

"Come in." I said and in walked Nancy. She wore a little blue dress and I smiled softly. I walked out of the bathroom.

"Are you okay? Kaden told everyone what happened. He was scary looking." Nancy said and I sighed.

Her eyes widened when she looked at me.

"I can't believe they did that; I'm glad Alpha killed them." The little girl huffed.

"Yeah..." I said unsure of what to say.

"Amelia can I ask you something?" Nancy said staring at me and I nodded.

"Okay; how do you know when you've met your mate?" She asked and I blinked several times.

"Well you feel a connection. When they touch you there's sparks. They make you feel whole and it's something no one else can do." I said softly and she nodded slowly.

"Okay." She said and I raised an eyebrow.

"Why did you want to know?" I asked and she smiled softly.

"I just wanted to know what I'd feel so I would know." She said and I chuckled softly.

"Most of the time you won't start to feel it until you're sixteenth or seventeen." I explained and she nodded in acknowledgement.

After a few moments there was a pounding on my door. Nancy and I jumped in shock.

"Amelia have you seen--" the door opened revealing a beyond-confused looking Ryan.

His eyes settled on Nancy and he let out a breath.

"Never mind." He said and held out the plush wolf.

"Ryan!" I jumped as Nancy leapt to her feet and rushed at the beta and grabbed her toy. Ryan on the other hand looked as if he was on the verge of having a heart attack.

"You named it Ryan?" I asked and Nancy hugged the wolf to her and nodded. The beta beamed.

"Where'd you find him?" Nancy asked and Ryan chuckled.

"He was under your bed, if you hadn't freaked out you might've found him." Ryan said with a smirk and Nancy huffed.

"If he wasn't under my bed I wouldn't have freaked out." Nancy shot back and I chuckled softly as the beta frowned then raised an eyebrow.

"Okay, calm down Cinderella." Ryan said with a small smile.

"But I don't have a Prince Charming. Ryan can you be my prince?" Nancy said exasperated and I laughed softly. Ryan's eyes widened and he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Oh me? Or the toy?" Ryan said and I laughed harder.

"You." Nancy said.
