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.
AMBER’S POV“Walk?” I asked with a weak voice.“It seems that you didn’t quite hear so I’ll have to repeat myself. Would you walk with me?” Alpha Logan asked again.“Uhm—”Hannah interrupted me by bumping her shoulder into mine. I turned to her and she gestured that I agree.“Yes, alpha Logan, I’ll walk with you,” I replied.“Quickly get dressed, I’ll wait for you at the palace gate,” Alpha Logan said as he turned around and left.The grumpy alpha had left but the room was still filled with this aura of uneasiness.“What’s this all about, Amber? Why do you think the alpha wants to take a walk with you? What does he want to discuss?” Hannha asked, wearing a sly smirk on her face.“It’s nothing of the sort, Hannah. He probably wants me to come out to fresh air, especially after working out,” I replied.My words seemed to be entering one ear and escaping through another. I reckoned she didn’t believe me because her face looked unconvinced.“Well, I’ll go with that for now,” Hannah looked
AMBER’S POV“Hmm,” I scoffed in disbelief. “Who knew a man like you could seek peace?”“Who in the world isn’t searching for a place to dwell in peace?” Alpha Logan said as he stretched his arms.“I guess you’re right. Everyone is in need of peace and where to find peace. But one should accept that peace is of the heart, either in your heart or the heart of someone else,” I concluded as I sat beside him.The wind of the cold evening blew the trees on the garden, thereby forcing dried up leaves to fall to the ground.“You may also be right as well, Amber. But that isn’t my own ideology. To you, peace is in the heart, but I don’t feel the same,” Logan disagreed.“You also sought for peace, which means that you find peace in a way that differs mine. Do tell me what peace means to you.”“To me, peace is not a material or an ornament that could be obtained. Peace is an everlasting feeling that is gotten by the sacrifice of life,” he said.“Elaborate…” I replied with a puzzled look on my fa
AMBER’S POV“I guess you may be right after all, Amber. Maybe the essence of finding peace through war was wrong. What is the essence of gaining peace after losing the ones we cherish more than life itself? I now understand your perspective. One can’t find peace through a war where he lost his loved ones. One can only find peace in a war where he didn’t lose those he cherished. This means that finding peace had already been established through love even without me knowing. Truly, peace is love,” Logan looked into my eyes and smiled, revealing his long blood stained fangs.My eyes went bright because of the surprise.Is he smiling at me? Alpha Logan is smiling! Alpha Logan is smiling!! Who could’ve known that the argument that was rapidly escalating would be the one to help me with my promise. I promised that I’d make you smile today and I fulfilled it before midnight, I thought.“I love your smile, alpha Logan,” I complimented.“Which smile?” He asked as he quickly wore his motionless
