Chapter: Chapter 73: The escape~Amara~It was the signal, the one I’d been waiting for. The Hollow Ball that Adrik held wavered and then vanished, along with the shimmering lights and strange haze of power that had filled the room. He rose to his feet, his gaze dark as he turned to me.“Omega, stay here. Guards!” he barked, calling them to his side. “I’ll deal with whatever this is.”I nodded, forcing myself to look as calm as possible even though my pulse was racing. As soon as Adrik left the room, my instincts took over, and I darted for the door, every nerve on fire with anticipation. Chad would be waiting for me. I could hardly believe that soon we’d be free of this place, but I knew every second counted.Apart from that fact, I didn’t want Lucian blocking me or even trying to talk about what happened in the past. I wasn’t up for that at all. All I wanted was to get to where Chad was in one piece.I was halfway down the hall when a figure appeared, blocking my path. I gasped, thinking that it was one of Adrik’s

Chapter: Chapter 72: The escape~Chad~“Fire! Fire!!”The second I heard the alarm, I knew it was time for me to act fast. I couldn’t waste any more time because I can’t tell how long it would be before Adrik finds out that this was a fake alarm. My body reacted faster than my mind could, every nerve alive despite the gnawing pain that felt like fire under my skin. It didn't matter. Pain had become the background music of my life in this place, and I’d learned to ignore it. What mattered now was getting out.With a shaky breath, I forced myself to my feet and patted around the corner of the floor for the small key Lydia had smuggled in. She’d risked everything to get it to me, and I wasn’t about to waste her efforts. My hands trembled as I slotted it into the lock, the heavy, rusted door clicking open with a sound that was somehow both too loud and too soft. I slowly pushed the heavy iron door open, waiting a moment to see if anyone would notice by any chance that a prisoner’s door has been opened.The corridor o

Chapter: Chapter 71: The Hollow Ball~Amara~As I stepped into the grand ballroom, my heart felt like it was about to leap out of my chest. The room was filled with elegantly dressed guests, laughter, and music that floated through the air. Every flicker of a candle seemed too bright, every footstep around me too loud. I kept reminding myself to breathe, to appear composed, but with the weight of what I was supposed to do, it was a bit hard to pretend.Adrik had told me that he wouldn’t have any need for me until the dinner starts, so that mean that I have enough time to plan my movements carefully. I just hoped that I wouldn’t need to make it to that dinner before I get my cue to escape with Chad. My freedom was so close and I could smell it. Soon enough, I would be able to know how it felt to have my freedom. And it wouldn’t be just about me. It would also be about my child.I smiled, my hand going to my belly instinctively. This baby wouldn’t live the kind of life that I’ve led. He won’t have a mother who will sell hi

Chapter: Chapter 70: I’ll help you~Amara~I stood in front of the mirror in my room, the dress that Adrik had picked out for me clutched in my hands.Tonight is the night.This is the night that will either make or mar me.This is the night that I get my freedom, and together with the man that I love.This is the night of the Hollow Ball.I was excited at the thought of finally leaving this hellhole and going somewhere far away from this kingdom. Chad and I have sometimes talked about the possibility of settling in the human world, and it had sounded like a good plan. All we needed to do was make sure that no one suspects our identity. We’ll just blend in and make sure to avoid staying outside on full moons.But then again, I still couldn’t shake off the feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach. It felt as if I was about to embark on a suicide mission. As if this was the most foolish thing to do. A part of me screamed at me to abandon this plan and live as peacefully as possible with alpha Adrik instead of putting my

Chapter: Chapter 69: Whatever happens~Amara~“You want to break the Beta out of the dungeon? Are you crazy? That stunt can cost you your life!” Lydia whispered harshly, looking towards the door as if there was someone listening to her.“I have to, Lydia. They’re gonna kill him if I don’t”She paused for a moment as if digesting what she just heard. “What do you mean they’re going to kill him? Who are ‘they’?”“Alpha Adrik and Katherine. They want to kill him because he supposedly raped me”I could tell by the confusion on her face that she still wasn’t getting what I was trying to say. She knew that Chad and I were an item so saying that he raped me would be a little confusing for her. but if she was going to help me get Chad out of the dungeon by distracting the guards there and laying false alarms over a fire or something else worthy of attention, then I needed to explain everything to her in detail.“Did he really do that to you? He’s always come across to me as a fine gentleman. How did he suddenly change into a perv

Chapter: Chapter 68: I need your help~Amara~“Why would you do something like that? The alpha is so mad. And is in pain. Even though he healed really quickly. What were you thinking?”I plopped myself on the chair in the kitchen while Lydia peeled some potatoes for dinner. I’d come to her because I needed to talk to someone and she was the only other person that I could talk to, apart from Chad.Yes, I knew that I was supposed to still act like I do not have my memories back, but I just wanted to talk to someone familiar and friendly. A person whom I trusted. And Lydia was the only other person who filled in that role.After the incident with Alpha Adrik, he had quickly growled at me to leave his presence at once and I didn’t need any other prompting to scramble away from his room. The fact that nobody came to arrest me or put me in the dungeon for attempting to hurt the alpha is one thing that I’m still puzzled about, stemming from the fact that Alpha Adrik almost never forgives.What if he had something deadly planned

Chapter: Chapter 4~Valerie~“Whip, whip” The tongue of the whips tore through my skin like a knife slicing through a portion of red meat. The pains ricocheted through my body, making me weak. I had lost count of the whips that I had already been given. All I wanted to do then was probably join my dead parents in whatever world they were in right now. I am mad at them. Yes. Mad for letting themselves get murdered. Mad for leaving me all alone in this world. And mad for not leaving me under any insurance at all.An omega? I killed them? I couldn’t believe how my life turned upside down in the blink of an eye. “That is enough. You will kill her at this point” a voice filtered from the doorway. I looked up from where I was sprawled on the floor and saw Cordy standing there.And why in the heavens is the son of the bald alpha not with his mother yet? Is he here to make sure that the pain is served cold?“Alpha Lockwood ordered that hundred strokes…” the guard started.“I said, enough!” Cordy growled. “Get

Chapter: Chapter 3~Valerie~I couldn’t understand why the Pack council decided to hastily bury my parents in the space of six hours, especially for a Beta who was murdered. As long as I can remember, it takes at least one week before burial so that the relevant authorities can lay their hands on whatever evidence they can get their hands on. My eyes swept through the crowd at the burial ground. There were so many people; a lot of them that I didn’t particularly know. But Pack is family, right? I glanced around for a sign of Cordy but he was nowhere to be found. Maybe I’m trying to build castles in the air but I still refuse to accept that Cordy had rejected me last night. The bond that we have is too strong for that to happen. And the way he looked at me before the sudden decision that he took, I saw that he still loves me. Maybe I had seemed so needy. Isn’t that why he called me promiscuous?I sniffled and turned my attention back to the two graves before me. At this point, my red, puffy eyes could

Chapter: Chapter 2~Valerie~I watched as he walked to the restroom, my heart pounding in my chest. I wondered what it was that he needed to show me in the restroom. I counted twenty seconds off my fingers and stood, took my purse, and headed to meet him.I opened the door and found him patiently waiting for me with a dangerous glint in his eyes.“Cordy, what was it that you couldn’t show me out there? Are you trying to murder…”Before the sentence could roll off my tongue, I found myself banged up against a wall with Cordy’s tongue invading my mouth. It made me breathless and giddy. But damn, it was the hottest kiss I’ve ever gotten from him. I went on a tip-toe, wrapped my hands around his neck, and opened my mouth more, giving him unlimited access. But then he pulled back, warranting a groan of non-appreciation from me.“What was it that you said again? About me not affecting you hm?” he whispered in my ear while his hands assaulted my body.I moaned and arched towards him, wanting him to stop the on

Chapter: Chapter 1~Valerie~I stared defiantly at my father who was tired of explaining the same thing to me because as usual, I am stubborn and I never listen; at least not when it comes to matters of the heart. He puffed out an exasperated breath and took two dangerous steps closer to me. I took two steps back and my stare wavered a bit because there was no denying of the authority in those steps that he just took. But no, I will not back down.“Have you been listening to anything that I’ve been saying for the past twenty minutes?” my father said, a bit too softly for my liking.My father Rohan, is the Beta and second in command of our pack, Silverhowl Pack which made him able to afford so not-so-basic things in life. We have a big beautiful house and a little respect which comes from the title. Anyway, my father has been having a fit ever since I told him that Cordy, the first son of the alpha, is my mate. He and the alpha seem to have a good relationship so why is he trying to talk me out of lettin
