AMBER’S POVAlpha Logan had just left my room when I moved my hand and grabbed onto my pillow tightly. I groped around the bed for the bedsheets. I found them and quickly covered my naked body. I hugged the pillow tightly, pressing it against my chest and placing my chin over it while tears filled up my eyelids.Is this why I’m here? Will I continue such suffering in the name of a child bearer for the rest of my life? I guess this is the reality of how my life was to turn out. Is this what I am to face everyday of my life? We have sex while he constantly tries to belittle my self esteem. This isn’t how I pictured myself , being constantly abused. This has become my life now and I have to accept my fate. If the moon goddess was watching over me, I guess my life wouldn’t have taken such a drastic turn, I thought.I shut my eyes tightly while tears ran profusely down my cheeks. I cried myself to sleep that night.The doorbell rang.I rose up from the bed, half-awake. “Who is it?”“May we
AMBER’S POVLouis was right about the milk. I can feel how smooth my skin is and this milk is helping me relax well.It seems I was wrong about this bath. I’ve certainly not taken a bath like this before and I’ve certainly never been this relaxed in my life before, I thought.“Louis, forgive me for scolding you so harshly earlier today. I don’t normally talk to people in such a manner,” I said as I readjusted my sitting position.“No no, your highness. I don’t hold any grudge against you. You had reasons for why you did what you did and I honestly respect that,” Louis replied while massaging my head. “Forget about it. Now tell me, are you enjoying your bath, your majesty?”“Quite frankly, yes! I feel more relaxed than I’ve ever felt before,” I said, wearing a smile on my face. “Can I ask you a question?”“Of course, yes your majesty, you have all rights to,” Louis replied.“Why are there coat racks in every room of the palace?” I asked curiously.“The reason is that alpha Logan and hi
AMBER’S POVMy doorbell rang.“I think that’s Hannah at the door,” I muttered under my breath. “Come in Hannah.”Hannah came into the room with a tray of food in her hand. Hannah is older than me. Hannah is the oldest maiden out of the four maidens that served me, and also the most quiet of them all. Hannah is five foot nine inches tall and her fingers are also very long. Her eyes are still gold colored, which means she hasn’t taken the life of a human. Judging from her calm look, Hannah doesn’t look like one that could kill a fly.“What is that, Hannah?” I asked curiously.“It’s your breakfast, my queen,” she said as she gently placed the tray down on my table. “You had also summoned me, your highness.”“That is correct, I sent for you. Have a seat,” I said as I tapped my bed and she sat. “I want to—”“I know you’re currently angry at me, your highness. That is why I’ve come here to plead for your forgiveness—”If you would let me finish my sentence, you would’ve known that I didn’t
AMBER’S POVAlpha Logan had startled Hannah and I greatly.Did he hear our conversation? It could be possible that one of his men overheard me when I shouted saying that he was a murderer. I think he’s here to kill me for saying that. This was what Hannah warned me about. It’s good he only heard when I insulted him. If he had overheard Hannah and I, it would be drastic for Hannah. I wouldn’t want my words to put Hannah in trouble, I thought.I boldly rose up from the bed and yelled. “It wasn’t Hannah’s fault. It was all my fault!”Alpha Logan glared at me with a puzzled look on his face. “What are you talking about? I only came here to inquire if you’re being taken care of. What fault were you talking about?”“Uh—uhm, you see, I was only talking about—forget about it. Why are you here?” I stuttered.Logan stared at me once again, the tip of my fingers went cold.“How is her company?” Logan asked.“Great! I mean, what company?” I asked, wearing a weird smile on my face.“The company of
AMBERS’S POVI woke up from my short slumber and brushed my sleepy eyes. “Who is at the door?”“It’s Grace, your highness,” Grace replied from behind the door.Why is she here again? Doesn’t she know that this is the time for a nap? I never called her or sent her on an errand. It would be rude for me not to let her in after knocking, I thought.“Come in, Grace,” I permitted her.Grace gently opened the door and walked in. “Sorry to disturb you, your highness, but I overheard your dialogue with the alpha and clearly, he instructed that you must be present during tonight’s dinner—”“Yes yes, I know that,” I yawned as I wiped my face one more time.“Yes, you’re aware. But I must tell you, my lady, you have just twenty minutes before dinner begins,” Grace added.Grace’s words came at me like they were arrows that had been shot at me that were penetrating through all parts of my skin.“Come again?” I had to ask to be quite sure I heard what she said.“My lady, you have only nineteen minute
LOGAN’S POV“Why the hell is she this late for dinner? Doesn’t she know that it’s wrong to keep a king waiting! Waiting for her! She has truly taken her revenge on me for belittling her like I did last night. That woman is unbelievable!” I angrily banged my fist on the hard glass of the dining table.After a while, my child’s mother walked into the room. She slowly walked towards the chair that was opposite mine. From the look on her face, I could tell that she hasn’t seen a dining room as big and luxurious as mine. My dining table was exactly 11.81 meters long. It was so long that one couldn’t see the person sitting opposite him. But not me though. My sight was as clear as crystal. I could vividly see Amber. We needed not to yell at each other while talking. Since we were the only people in the room, our voice’s would echo perfectly.“What took you so long?” I asked, glaring at her angrily.“A lady has to take her time to get ready. The real question here is why haven’t you started e
AMBER’S POVWhy’s he staring at me like that? If it weren’t for what Hannah had told me earlier, I would’ve told this rude alpha, things that he won’t like. How can he persuade me to compliment him and when I ask for mine, he refuses bluntly? This isn’t right. This sort of thing could make me lose my cool easily. I think this alpha is intentionally getting me angry. Amber, you have to control yourself and be calm. You can’t let such a rude man get to you. C’mon, I lived with a man named Vermont. There’s no man on earth as arrogant as he is. If I could live with such a man for fifteen years, I could leave with Logan for a few months, I thought.“It’s all good, alpha Logan, you don’t have to compliment my looks or my outfit anymore. I’m not one of those ladies that needs to be complimented before they get on with their food,” I said, wearing a serious smile.“From the look on your face, one could tell that you have been waiting to be complimented the very moment you put on your dress,”
AMBER’S POVI grinned and rose up from the chair. Hannah came into the dining room wearing a large smile on her face.“Well, how did it go?” She asked impatiently.“You’re asking how my date with a cold hearted, abnormal alpha goes?” I scoffed. “You’re funny, Hannah“Why are you calling him names in the open? We’ve talked about this,” Hannah warned.“Let it be, Hannah. We’ll talk in my room,” I said while heading to my room. Hannah followed behind.Hannah and I entered the room and I began to undress.“You haven’t quite told me what happened during dinner,” Hannah asked as she comfortably sat on the bed.“Nothing much actually happened,” I said, wearing a straight face.I undressed and hopped in the shower. “Your alpha is weirder than I thought.”“Are you going to narrate the whole film or will you keep telling me trailers?” Hannah asked, standing at the bathroom door.“Trust me, nothing happened at all,” I insisted.“Are you trying to say that you both just ate without even speaking?
LOGAN'S POVIt's been a week since Amber and I were joined by the mating bond in the mating ceremony.The preceding days have been nothing but blissful. Carrying Grandal everywhere with me, even to court meetings with the elders of the pack. It felt like I was trying to make up for the times that we were apart from each other.As for Amber, she glowed every day, blossoming like a flower. Every day, I set my eyes on her, I can't help but desire to take her to bed and make love to her.But then, I didn't mean to rush things. I had treated her badly in the past, sexually, and would want our sexual encounters henceforth to be better.It was a bright cool morning and I prepared for my meeting with the elders. We had a lot to deliberate on, and I wouldn't want to keep them waiting.I arrived at the pack's house, the sun slowly rising from its abode in the sky. I walked into the hall and the elders were already seated, their faces expectant.I exchanged pleasantries with them, as I took my s
LOGAN'S POVHaving my family in my arms felt like the best thing that has happened to me at that moment. I could not believe that after such a while, I was finally reunited with them.“Are you alright?” I inquired, disengaging from the hug to take a proper look at them.Amber looked shocked, like she had seen a ghost but nodded, “Yes, we are.”Quickly, I turned to my men. “A number of you should fetch the pot while the rest and I will proceed home with Scott, my mate and my son.”My men nodded and walked off to carry out the order while a number of them stayed back. “Come on, it's time to head home,” I rose to my feet and pulled Amber up. “Let me have him,” I said, gesturing to my son.Amber obliged and handed him to me and surprisingly, he didn't make a fuss but relaxed comfortably in my arms.Turning to my men, I ordered, “let's head home, our mission is completed.” They nodded and we filed out of the dungeon. We made our way outside Scott's pack house, the dead bodies of his men
LOGAN'S POVI had assembled my men on returning from the seer's home. I filled them in on what the seer revealed, and I also informed them about the ritual to be held.They were all supportive as they all wanted Scott defeated as much as I wanted. So in the preceding days, I made preparations for the ritual, making provision for all the necessary materials we needed. And so the D–day arrived. The seer led me and my men to a large, open field on the outskirts of the Red Fanged Pack's territory. The moon was full in the sky, casting a silver glow over us. My men stood in a circle around me, their eyes fixed on me.The seer stood at the center of the circle, her eyes closed, her hands raised to the moon. “The moon goddess demands a ritual to weaken Scott's hold on the sacred pot,” she declared, her voice reverberating across the field.I nodded, my heart pulsating with anticipation. I knew that this ritual was the key to rescuing my mate and son.The seer began to chant, her voice risi
LOGAN'S POVThat night, I couldn't sleep as I kept tossing on the bed, nightmares of Amber and Grandal sleeping in a dungeon plaguing my dream.I couldn't believe Scott could be that cruel to a little child. I was even more angry at Amber for running off to my enemy's territory.I was unable to sleep as I rose from bed in the wee hours of the morning to visit my study. I tried to attend to some paperwork to get my mind off the events of the previous day, but I couldn't.It was in my restless state that I fell asleep on my study chair. The knock on the door roused me from sleep.“Come in,” I answered, groggily sitting up.My advisor stepped in, his face bearing an urgent expression. “Good morning, Alpha. The seer has sent for you on the moon goddess’s order.”My eyes immediately lit up. “Is it about my mate and son?”“I doubt. You have to hear her call right away.”I nodded and rose from the chair as I made my way back to my chambers. I freshened up and got changed into something befit
SCOTT'S POVAfter sending out the letter to Logan, I instructed my men to get prepared because I was sure Logan would come for war.He was a man of pride who never said no challenges, and just like I predicted, he arrived with his men Two days after I sent out the letter.“Alpha Logan and his men are here, armed to the teeth.” My advisor came to inform me, in my study.I let out an amused laughter. “Just like I expected. The men should not panic because he and his men won't be able to penetrate.” I said with so much confidence.My advisor nodded and exited the study.After he left, I took my time before heading outside to see Logan and his men. I walked out of the study, a smirk plastered on my face. I made my way to the palace gate, where Logan and his men were waiting. As I approached, I could see the determination in their eyes, but I knew it was futile.“Logan, Logan, Logan,” I said, shaking my head. “You really thought you could take on me and my pack? You're no match for us.”
LOGAN'S POVSince our rescue, today was the day I was finally meeting with my men. The reason being that I wanted everyone to be fully recuperated for the tasks at hand.I intended to restore the pack to its previous state. Compensate every family that Noel had killed their loved one or loved ones or stolen from them.I also intended to compensate Jayde and Laura for the inhumane treatment meted out to them by Noel. I also handed back the Zion's pack back to Laura.Afterward, I want to begin my search for Amber and my son. But before that, I had to summon the moon goddess for her opinion.“You all are welcome,” I said to my men as they all assembled in the throne room, on my orders.“We have a lot to discuss, but first I want to specifically thank you all for sticking by me. It is only unfortunate that we lost one of us during that trying mind,” at the mention of that, their eyes turned misty.“Wherever he is, Killian will be happy to know that we got the pack back. For that, I want u
SCOTT'S POVI stormed out of Amber's room, my vision blinded by fury. I couldn't believe that the woman and her child I have been harboring and come to take as family are the mate and son of the man I detest with every single fiber of my being.Amber–who would have thought a woman as calm, conserved and innocent like her is capable of such deceit? More reasons why quiet females should be avoided at all cost.I arrived at my study, the walk from Amber's room doing nothing to alleviate how I was feeling. I felt used, betrayed and foolish.Lowering myself on my seat, I reminisced on the raid carried out by Logan and his men. My fury skyrocketed as I thought about the number of my soldiers and pack members that were lost that night.No matter how hard I tried to wave the painful thoughts, owing to my promise to Amber to keep her and Grandal safe, the images of that night still came surging back like an angry tide.My heart constricted painfully in my chest. Such an act was too difficult
LOGAN'S POVI have never felt satisfied and relieved like I felt when I delivered the blow to Noel's face.“You bastard!” I growled and charged towards him, aiming to hit him again, but I was restrained by the other Alphas.“You need to get a grip on yourself, Alpha. You need to recover first, he will be here to get the penalty of his deeds. You need detoxification as I can smell poison all over you.” Sir James said, pulling me backward.As if on cue, I felt a wave of dizziness and I staggered backwards.“Are you okay?” I heard different voices in the background as my head swoon. I tried to stay stable, but couldn't. I doubled up, and my legs gave way beneath me as I lost consciousness.That was all I recalled as I woke up to find myself on a bed. Groggily, I opened my eyes and was met by pairs of worried eyes staring down at me.“Thank God he is awake,” a voice said, and I tried to prop myself up on the bed but stopped as a banging headache overtook me.“Don't stress yourself, Logan.
NOEL'S POVI turned to the maiden and harshly ordered her to leave my chambers. Hurriedly, I slipped my manhood back into my trousers.Turning to Olivia, I asked. “Are the soldiers retaliating?”“They are, but they seemed outnumbered. These people mean business, and the arms that they have with them are ones that I have never seen before.” Olivia explained, her eyes misty with fear.“Go on, I'm coming after you.”Hesitantly, she stared at me before hurrying off.Confusion overtook me as I slipped into my fighting clothes, wondering who these Invaders were. And to worsen things, they attacked at night, a vulnerable time when everyone would be exhausted from their diverse daily activities.My confusion was replaced by fear. My soldiers are not prepared enough because no one was expecting an attack.“Cowards!” I cussed at the Invaders. They didn't even have the decency to warn me beforehand about their attack.I was even more scared because there was no way to reach the Giants that had
