AMBER’S POVThe rays of sun had pierced through the windows of my room. The rainbow was out due to the rain that fell last night. Though the sun was out , the windy and cold temperature of the atmosphere hadn’t changed since last night. It was almost noon and I was just waking up from last night’s slumber. I gazed outside my window and saw the guards training in the field. I struggled but I managed to get up from my bed. I went to my bathroom and washed my sleepy face.While heading back to my room, I stopped at my bathroom’s mirror and decided to take a look at myself. I glanced at myself and thought of how much I have changed over the months. I recalled how I had suffered throughout my childhood, being maltreated and verbally abused by my so-called step father. I felt my face and touched my cheeks. I had really added weight. It must’ve been because I was pregnant but I know it wasn’t. I had been properly taken care of. I looked at my big belly. I rubbed it to calm the kicking child.
The sun had risen above the mountains and it was time for people to go on about their daily business. Several people had woken up earlier than the sun but I was still in bed. And from the looks of it, the moon would rise before me.I opened and stared at Hannah with blurry vision. I sat up and stretched my tired arm.“I was afraid you were going to sleep the whole day through,” Hannah said with a smile on her face.I turned to my side and looked out the window. It was quite sunny today, not quite, it was really sunny today. Today’s temperature was heated like the palace was set on fire. What do I expect from a Wednesday afternoon?“Are you alright?” Hannah quizzed as she place her hand on my forehead, trying to check my temperature.“You’re simply wasting your time. My forehead is warm, so is yours. It’s a sunny day,” I said as I gently rose up from the bed.“I wasn’t checking for a fever or anything. I was checking if you were alright or not. I mean, who sleeps till noon?”“Me,” I re
AMBER’S POV“It happened eighteen years ago. Naive Hannah had just been betrothed to the cruel alpha, Logan’s father. As a newly wedded Luna, the king and I were meant to mate and it was the mating ceremony that day. The king had forced me into mating with him even when I cried and begged..”I patted Hannah on her shoulder to show that I’m there for her and that gave her confidence.“While we were mating, the first Luna, Logan’s mother, came into the room. Due to her lack of self esteem and her non confidential state, she decided to turn around and leave but the king got angry. The king was the type to beat up the queen on various occasions for no good reason and that was why he was a feared man. The queen apologized and started to leave but the king got angry. The king mercilessly beat up the queen until she died. After he had killed her, he then came back to his senses. I was so traumatized that I couldn’t move. I only clinged onto the bed sheets and watched. Annoyed little Loganwa
LOGAN’S POV“What do I want?” Amber asked with a puzzled look on her face.“Yes. You heard me well. Would you prefer a foot massage or a head massage?” I asked with a motionless look on my face.“Do I want a foot massage or a head massage? Where is all this coming from? Is this a trap?” She asked.I turned around and glared at her.“Don’t glare at me like that. I’m just surprised by your question. Not surprised, I mean shocked, because you’ve never shown concern for me, then why now?” She asked angrily.“Please do not have the misconception that I’m doing this for you or that I care for you because I don’t. I’m only doing this for my son. Now, which do you prefer?” I asked.“If I say I prefer both at the same time, does that seem like an answer?” She asked.“No it won’t,” I grinned. “Come in here!”Hannah and Kate came into the room all dressed in their uniforms. They each came with a bag. Probably where they kept their tools for massaging.“Hannah?” Amber muttered under her breath.“
AMBER’S POV“Relax properly on the bed while we begin,” Kate said.Hannah and Kate wore their gloves for work before starting. Kate took care of my feet while Hannah took care of my head.“Hannah?” I muttered under my breath while watching her smile.Hannah placed two pillows under my head to raise it up. And on top of those pillows, she placed plastic wrappers to avoid stains.Hannah’s blessed fingers ran gently through my aching head and I immediately felt better. Hannah massaged my head and hair softly. At that moment, I was stress free.“Amber?” Hannah called. “How are you enjoying the head massage?”“I’m enjoying it really well. Can I ask you something?”“Sure, you can,” Hannah replied.“Why is he doing all of this?” I asked, fixing a bitter scowl on my face. “Is he doing this to apologize for last night?”“You should know that alpha Logan isn’t in the slightest remorseful for what he said last night. When he summoned Kate and I, he didn’t mention anything about apology. He just
LOGAN’S POV“Can you see now reason from my perspective?” I asked.“Well…you may be right and you may as well be in the wrong but, to each, his own ideas and views,” Amber said before sighing.“Quit talking. We have to start training immediately!” I echoed.“Training, why?”“…Because we’re in the gym. What are we supposed to do other than train?” I asked with a puzzled look on my face.“Train? No, I can't train. Why should we train?” Amber asked with disgust laced round her face.“We have to train…I mean, you have to train in order to keep the baby in shape. Not only the baby needs to be in shape. He’s mother also needs to be in shape.”Amber turned to me with rage in her eyes.“In shape?” She whispered evilly.Her red, blood thirsty eyes had started to make me feel very uncomfortable. I had started to sweat and take back my words.“Don’t start yet. Uhm…excuse me,” I excused myself and left the room to go meet Luke who was outside.I came out and found an ingenuous Luke who was examin
AMBER’S POVOh my! He’s really close to me. I can feel his heartbeat from behind my back. He’s also holding my arms, I thought.My cheeks had gone red and puffy. I raised my head and saw Logan’s perfect face before me. His chin was only a few inches far from my head. My heart had started to race rapidly.What is this feeling? Why am I blushing so much?I feel really nervous standing this close to him. He’s touching my arm. Why do I enjoy his touch so much? I can’t seem to see myself anywhere else than this. I feel somewhat glad that I’m this close to him, but why? In all my years of living, I’ve never felt a feeling this strange before. Why do I feel like I should feel his body more? His body’s feeling a little more soft than before, I thought.I was so lost in my thoughts that I couldn’t make out what I was doing.“Tighten your grip more, Amber. You don’t even look like you’re trying at all,” Alpha Logan lamented. “Amber..Amber!I gasped and came back to reality. “Did you say somethin
AMBER’S POV“I’m sorry,” I said as I withdrew myself.Alpha Logan cleared his throat as he redressed his rough coat. I turned to him with my side eye to see his reaction but he was still. He wasn’t like he felt anything at all. He still wore his straight and motionless face.“You need to be more careful from now on, you’re carrying the heir of the Red fanged pack and mistakes won’t be permitted from me!” He yelled.What’s his deal? He didn’t seem to feel anything when I hugged him. Is he that stone hearted not to have feelings? Not even feelings of touch? I wondered.“What are you thinking about? Are you hurt?” He asked.I scoffed. “Why do you care so much if I was hurt or unhurt?”“I don’t care in the least if you were hurt or not. I’m only asking because my son could be hurt as well,” alpha Logan plainly stated.“Oh my! I seemed to have forgotten that I was brought here only to bring forth a male child,” I sarcastically stated.“Good!”“What?” I asked with a puzzled look on my face.
