Amber's POV
***
I reached my assigned client place, A&A Inc. Companie's office building, after lunchtime. That receptionist from before showed me my assigned cabin, her name is Asha, I thanked her before she left me alone after giving files and documents I required to do my job here.
Today I can work in peace as Suzi is not here to disturb me with her super important topic, and neither is Archie. I start my work, checking digits shown in the documents and ledgers, that's how time flies.
By the time I finished my today's task my phone screen was showing 8 pm, it's dark outside. I turned off my system before saving my files.
People are leaving whose shift is over, I wish goodnight to Asha who is also ready to leave as her shift is over.
I don't know why but a thought crosses my mind and I asked her as we walked together outside the building, "I haven't seen Mr. Dan nor his partner nearby all day-"
Before I sa
Alexander’s POV***I caught her hand in mine, just want to touch her to make me believe she is fine, but made her scared as she flinched and takes steps away from me. It’s takes everything in me to stop my beast to hold her close to us by force, it will be the last thing I want to do, to scare her even more than she already is.“Well, it’s just a coincidence we meet again,” I replied to her earlier question as using it as a distraction chip because in reality I was looking for a chance to meet her all day but don’t want to disturb her in her work too, that’s why I waited for her outside office building when her working hours are about to over but that does not go according to as plan also because of her new friend was with her.So, that’s how I ended up following her all the way here, if you want to call me a stalker so I just have one thing to say in my account that I hate who envied others pri
Amber’s POV***His eyes are looking enchanting enough that it’s hard to look away from him, but I don’t want either. I wish time stops and I can spend my whole life here watching him smiling for me. “Where are you lost, my love?” I heard his deep and husky tone, he asked as squeezing my hand. I smile as shake my head whilst murmuring, “Nothing, I’m just happy.”He smiles broadly hearing my reply and cupped my face to make me look straight in his green orbs as he is looking in my dark ones. “I’m g
Amber’s POV***I can’t stop myself from thinking about that dream, it was like some kind of warning, and my gut feeling is telling me to keep my distance from Alex more than ever.Yes from day one I feel a dangerous aura around him but I also feel protective too when he is with me, in the past week I see a gentleman in him.He helped me that day on the station and after that in my work too when once I can’t able to find actual entries of related transactions. He is the kind person behind his cold mask, but we are not friends.He is my client and I’m there to do my duties so mixing professional and personal relations is out of content, and other than that it’s my last week here I’m halfway to complete my work.After that this chapter will be closed until next year I guess or more if my boss assigns the A&A Inc. project to anyone else in the next accounting year, well I don’t kno
I picked my bag as take a step to go but stop when he come stood in front of me, blocking my way and murmurs as looking towards me with his enchanting green orbs, “Answer my one question, then the decision is yours if you want to stop or not.”I didn’t say anything, confused about what does it means actually but nodded as he is patiently waiting for my answer because I don’t think a mere question can change my decision.I take a step back as gulped feeling too much closeness between us which is making it hard for me to think, the air is heavy with anticipation as my heart is going nuts from fear I guess.“Please take a seat,” He requested in an extremely soft voice like talking with a kid. I hesitated from his sudden behavior change but did as he said I don’t know why but I know it’s not a good idea to disobey him and run away from here which must be the first instinct of mine.He gulped a deep b
Dan POV***I finished my work and as usual left for the club. It's been my routine since she left, I don't know maybe it's my way to bury myself in work to prevent myself from thinking about her as best as I can.I reach my club, which is managed by my pack members, and get a warm hug from one of the female workers here, Loren. She-wolf from my pack and my childhood best friend, she is beautiful with her tall frame and honey color skin and black hair which touches her hips.We were used to being very close, like sharing every secret and spending memorable days with each other before I found her, my fated mate. I don't blame Loren for leaving me alone when I needed her most because somewhere I wish to be alone that time too.N
Amber POVI run off from that place without looking behind, nothing makes sense as my mind is still trying to process what happened there exactly? My hands are shaking as I pull out my phone from my bag, to inform Asha that I will come back in an hour or so, I just need some time to get back to my normal self. I can't risk going there like a sacred cow.I was about to send Asha a text when my phone ping to show a mail from my office, as Mr. Shegal, my boss, called an urgent meeting. I guess this is good, I can meet my friends there and I desperately need some change of environment.I reached my office building and greeted with a warm smile with the receptionist, Ms. Mia. "Welcome back, Ammy. Good to see you. How are you?”"I'm good, thanks for asking, you are looki
I'm not a coward nor I am running away…But that's exactly what I'm feeling as I'm feeling like a criminal and waves of something strange, I quite know exactly but why am I getting this weird feeling when all I am doing is taking some days away from my usual self and that also not for fun purpose, its work, right?I closed my eyes and convinced myself that nothing was wrong with me before taking a deep breath and proceeding to board our flight with my boss, Suzi, and two other colleagues."Time to have fun!" Suzi chimed, I shoo her as our boss gave us a disdainful look, God, this girl is crazy.After a 2 hours long flight we landed at Mumbai airport. Suzi is on cloud nine as considering a work trip to vacation, but I can't blame her as Mumbai is an amazing place f
My mind is telling me to run back inside, I look towards Suzi as about to ask her once more what is her plan but before I uttering a word I saw her smiling as looking forward, before I heard the click sound of the car's door open and revealing a person, makes me scream in surprise….Eyes widened in surprise as I saw a ghost, while Suzi and he let out a fit set of laughter at my expressions, "What the hell is going on exactly? Anyone want to enlighten me?" I demand.I can't help gawking at the person in front of me. I admit he is a sight for the eyes with his tall frame and bulging muscles, which sometimes makes me wonder if his slight touch can break me. And his dark black locks which I always want to run my fingers into, to find out how soft it is against my skin. He is wearing black denim and a black button-up shirt, sleeves are rolled. Smiling with hi
We were standing in front of the huge arc-shaped rock. This place is ancient as you can tell by the unknown language runes carved on it. This is known as the portal. I'm feeling blessed right now, not knowing from how long we waited for this dream to come true. Today it's finally happening. I nodded toward Ammy to start it. It's a ritual she has to perform, one last thing to do. She placed her hand on the rune engraved as the sign of hand and lit the torch which is well known as the soul key, in the black space of arc. Rays of light took the shape of a huge circle filling the gap between the arc. The sound of gasping filled the background as everyone in this cave looked at the gateway with wet eyes. I can't explain in words what my heart is going through right at this moment. I never felt this before, this is beyond what I can understand, something new found. I ordered the children and females of my clan to become the f
Ammy P. O. V All other voices stopped except the rhythm of water flowing from the fountain and the jingling of the key fighting with air surrounding it. And then it happens, it moves from the prescribed place and flies in my direction. I didn't let my control waiver just a little more and it will be mine. The key is about to reach the glass barrier when suddenly it's frozen in its place. How could it happen? Shit! I got the answer to my questions when I heard a horrible scream and turned to look towards the person from whom it's coming. It was coming from that female guard whose eyes are stuck at the soul key. if I am not wrong so she is controlling the soul key as I did seconds ago. She is using all her powe
The silence here is scary, however, I keep walking to the source of light. I was right, the thing illuminating the whole place is the soul key. It's flying in the air, over the white marble fountain of red water. An orange glow shooting out of it complimenting the bright sun. I slowly open my eyes and this time a visible glass wall from around the fountain and inside standing a woman wearing a red hood, smiling chilling in my way, it raises goosebumps over my skin in anticipation of what's about to come next… "Well, well look what we have here… what's a little human born doing here? Have you lost my dear human?" Her words sound honey-dipped however not in agreement with her sharp features. I let my eyes waver over the woman standing in front of me, taking over
Ammy P. O. V I flinched and pulled myself backward with each step this horrible creature took forward toward me. His dark eyes are getting darker with the anticipation of the hunt, scaring me even more. No matter how hard I tried to deny it, but that's it. I have nowhere to run now. Death is here to embrace me in its darkness, this is my final moment. I dare to let my eyes anticipate the fall I would have to take if I step an inch backward from the heights I am standing at. It's beyond my range if wouldn't for the beast blocking my way. I have just been looking for another way to reach the secret cave in the deep end of the mountain core. It happened in the blink of an eye. In the next second, I tightly shut
Alex P. O. V the sound of thumping is the main cause I forced open my eyes to stop this annoying voice. My head is bursting and with each second this voice magnified itself to the next level. It's fucking annoying. This headache! A loud groan came out of my mouth and I forced open my eyes to take a look at the surroundings I'm in. The rotten smell of iron and dirt entered my nostrils. I can easily recognize it anywhere. It's underground dungeon cell and clinging of the silver bound around my hands and feet are just enough to prove me right. I raised my head from the metal ground beneath me to evaluate my cell and locate 2 guards who were trying to hide themselves as they peeked through from the other sides of the bars. It's hard to not notice their trembling bodies and the way their hands clutch the sword. It ama
Ammy P. O. V What a weird coincidence it is. I'm standing in the same spot from where I started. The same spot from where I started my discovery was the answer to the questions I was looking for. This time I'm not going to be scared, I know the danger involved in it but the reward is worth it too. And I will be grateful if I help all the people here who consider themselves responsible for the crimes that they never had done. If you are thinking I have some epic idea so no you are wrong. I have no plans, no backups, nothing well prepared, but I have that one thing that can help you do whatever you want to do in your life and that is willpower. I'm willing to do this. No, it's no more for the answers I was looking for but it's more for the lives of so many people who showed kindness towards me even thou
Ammy P. O. V The sound of metal lock clicking made contact with my eardrums. In the darkness of a cold cell, even a pin drop noise magnifies to the next level. I snapped my neck in that direction and blinked many times to clear my view to lock at the person entering inside the cell. For my human sight, it's not easy to make out an image in the dark, all I can make out is the silhouette of a tall figure. But it's not enough to tell who this person is. "Who's there?" I asked in confusion when that person didn't utter a word and just stood there observing me from far away. Despite answering my question, loud footsteps moved in my way, making me scrunched back in my seat, in the back of the corner of the cell. Silver l
Ryn P. O. V I begged my father to listen to me, to give us a chance to explain but he didn't listen a single word and ordered his guards to lock me in my room. The relationship between my father and me was limited to our clan business. We are not like normal father-daughter. Even at home we only talked to each other when it related to the clan's work. I don't feel bad about it anymore, I already passed that point and made peace with myself. I was aware of what was going to happen. That's why I had already formed a counter plan to cope with it. If they are thinking I'm going to stay here to cry my eyes out or feel sorry so it's their fault. I jumped on my feet and grabbed my weapons out of the drawer to stuff it in my leather boats. Before I make my way to
Ammy P. O. V Things get messy, the crowd gets afraid to heat up as the minutes pass by. With Ryn out of the picture and a heated argument going on between two Alphas, the room's temperature is pretty much heated. We don't want to make things more complicated. But I don't know how to clear up this misunderstanding. It's hard to break the belief upon which these people have been living here for centuries. If I were in their shoes I would have the same mindset. I can't even imagine the burden each and every one carries here on their souls as Ryn. They all are tagged with the label of prisoner's for the actions which are not done by them. These people keep locked here far away from the normal life that other species of Darkland are enjoying, when these
