MiallAmanah stared at me with her arms crossed over her chest. I looked at her from the side of my eye and copied her actions. She had been staring at me since Malakhi left after his big entrance, which I thought was useless, but he had to barge in here and pretend to be concerned when we both knew he didn't really care about what happened. Drystan was dead. Finally.I pouted and sat down on my chair, and she tilted her head, clearly offended that I was choosing not to say anything about Drystan's death. Honestly, I was relieved that whoever killed him helped us immensely, but now I was stuck trying to find a murderer in my pack, so not good. "So you're not going to say anything?" She finally huffed, and I looked up at her and shrugged while gathering my documents. "Spit it out," she scolded, and I raised my eyebrow. "Spit what out?""Stop mumbling and talk! Why are you mad?" "I'm not mad," I shook my head, and she pushed her face forward; I had to bite my lip to stop myself from
"So what happens now?" I asked Anin while I stood next to Amanah. She was finally sound asleep despite the pain she was in earlier.Watching her cry worriedly for our baby made me feel useless since there wasn't anything I could do to help ease her pain; all I could do was promise her that our baby would be okay."Right now, we're going to keep monitoring her and check how far her dilation is; if it doesn't go beyond four centimetres in the next six hours, we might have to do surgery," Anin explained as she pulled the sheet over her, aiding her comfort."Amanah said she doesn't want surgery," I pushed her hair back as I sat beside her. Her face finally looked relaxed. Like her mind wasn't wandering as much as it had been lately.Of course, I would probe and ask her what the issue was, but she would brush me off and say she was okay; she was planning for the wedding. I had not tried to listen to her thoughts because she asked me to stop, and I respected that, but sometimes, her quietnes
Amanah"Ugh, why do I still need to drink this?" I groaned as Miall passed me a bottle full of his blood, which I found horrid."Because you need to get better," he kissed my forehead, and I pouted. "But it's disgusting," I whispered as I adjusted Maniah properly in my arms. She pulled my nipple between her gums, and it took all that was in me not to scream because I didn't want to scare her. "Stop biting me."I poked her cheek, and she looked at me with a cheeky grin. Just like her father. "Just three months ago, you were greedy for it, and now you don't want it anymore?" Miall asked as he sat down, and I raised my eyebrow. "Are we talking about your blood?" I questioned, and he looked at me exhaustedly. I laughed and looked back down at Maniah. "I don't want it right now," I emphasised and looked at him from the corner of my eye, and he sighed, covering his face. "I'm playing Miall, but I no longer want to drink your blood. It's disgusting," I shivered. "Too bad, you're going to
Nyleve liked to plan things ahead of time. I mean, she had my apartment cleaned out for us, and everything was sparkling and looking new.She had the restaurant reservation done, and all we had to do was show up; not only that, but she also prepared a special pampering day for the both of us separately and told us we'd meet at the restaurant.As hesitant as I was about leaving the kids, this was needed, and this woman massaging the knots out of my back knew exactly what she was doing!I groaned blissfully as she applied pressure on my back using her fingers. The way they would glide across my back, targeting the tension, was heaven.I never had the money to do this before, but if being Miall's wife meant all the things I couldn't do before, count me in! This was heaven.I loved every minute, my body being pampered and feeling new again. My feet were soaked in that warm water while my nails got painted a new colour since the previous one started chipping.My hair was washed and treated.
I looked for Frank but couldn't see him anywhere in these crowds, so I pulled Miall towards the bar and leaned against it. A male bartender was making drinks, and Frankie was still missing.I was starting to feel sad, but the bartender came to us and asked us what we would like to drink."Do you know where Frank is?" I asked, and he pointed behind us. Frankie's eyes connected with mine as if he felt it, and I grinned brightly.He rushed toward me, leaving the group of girls that were surrounding him."You fuckin' hoe!" He grunted as he wrapped his arms around my waist and spun us around. "You're still alive, thank God!"He hugged me tightly before pulling away and looking at me."My baby," he whimpered, pulling me back into his arms. "My gorgeous, gorgeous baby," he repeated as he rocked us to the side."I missed you too," I said, patting his head gently."Okay, that's enough," Miall pulled me away from the hug and wrapped his arm around my waist possessively."You're the one keeping h
As much as I would have loved just to head back home and be comforted in the sheets with Miall, I had to catch up with the best man I'd ever known.Meeting Frank had been an enormous blessing, and I was entirely grateful to him. I don't know how many times I'll repeat this, but Frank deserves the world and everything beautiful."So, how has it been going between the two of you?" Frank asked as he picked up his glass. The pub had finally died down, and he could sit with us and enjoy a drink or two. Truthfully, we had more, but who liked to look like an alcoholic?"It's going well. We're getting married soon," I told him, and he raised his eyebrows."And I'm not invited?" He shouted, and I laughed."You're officiating. Has the invite not reached your hands yet?""Living wherever you have insanely improved your dialect, you used to use incomplete words to form a sentence," he laughed, and I snorted."That's because I was always around you, but I've been upgraded to a lady if you haven't n
"Look, Miall, let me explain what happened," I pleaded with him as he pulled me into our apartment. "It's not like I cheated on you or anything," I said, and he gently dragged me to the bathroom.How he did that surprised me. This man must be deeply in love with me."Shower and come to the living room once you're done," he said after opening the water for me."Aren't you going to shower with me?" I asked as he stripped me naked from my dress."I'll shower in the other room," he said, leaving me alone.Was he really mad that I didn't tell him I kissed Frank a couple of times? And maybe I touched him another couple of times, too?While showering, I tried to devise ways to get Miall to forgive me and at least look at me with his bright eyes, but I could only think of one idea.I had never thought I would ever have to use this method since Anin told me. Would it even really work with him? I can only hope so.After lotioning my body, I pulled up the sheer white dress and was impressed with
Third PersonAmanah sat in the middle of the huge bedroom as her stylist tied her hair in a head wrap. She couldn't believe how much time had passed. Today, they were officially getting married before the pack, and she couldn't be more excited.Tradition in Nioz was entirely different from what happened on Earth. She hadn't seen Miall in a week, which was custom; it brought luck and goodwill into the marriage. Nyleve was adamant about culture being followed regardless of Amanah not believing in these myths.Amanah turned her head to the left and grimaced at the heavy garments they called a wedding dress. Everything was completely different from the time she was pregnant; what used to be light dresses suddenly became heavier because of all the jewels that accompanied the outfit.The red dress, highlighted in gold patterns, awaited Amanah as she completed her wedding look. As nervous as she was, she was completely excited and couldn't wait to be around Miall again.The week was exhaustin
