Amber

Alex, Edison, and I emerge from the maze world, coughing as thick smoke assaults our lungs. We are back in the living room, but something isn’t right. Everyone is coughing, straining to see through the fog, and then staring at us with wide eyes as if not expecting us to be there.

I don’t see Emma anywhere, but I see the guy with the hood. He is the one who wrote our names on the list and had us teleported to the maze. He is also the first to speak, shrieking and stammering, “Y-you’re back? But how? I-I didn’t think you would return—”

Alex grabs the collar of his shirt before he can utter another word and lifts him off the ground. The muscles in his arms bulge, and Edison moves close to me.

“By the Gods... Your mate is extremely powerful...” He says warily, eyeing Alex with newfound respect and even a bit of fear. “It’s perhaps fortunate he chose not to fight me within the labyrinth. He isn’t even in his purest form, yet he has the strength to hoist a man over two hundred pounds

    Amber My stomach won’t stop churning. Alex isn’t acting like himself and driving at a scary speed through the traffic. He was always a big and scary guy, but he is colder now, more intimidating than ever. I regret picking the front seat. Why didn’t I choose to sit with Edison in the back? Alex drives past another car, and I sink into the seat, hoping I will survive the drive home. I wonder how Alex is going to treat me back at the mansion. I know that he doesn’t trust me since he doesn’t know whether or not I’m working with Alpha Ashlee. His cold attitude towards me is a way to protect himself and his heart, and I guess that, in a way, I can’t blame him. I’m not his enemy, but Alex doesn’t know that. “Guys,” Edison’s head is hovering over the middle console, and there is a big smile on his face. “These are simply...divine and delicious. What a delight! What delicacies could these be? Exquisite meat?” I raise an eyebrow at the bag of sour cream and onion chips in his hand and try

    Amber“Sexually frustrate me?” I ask and cock my head to the side, disappointed because my husband is literally saying he won’t make a move on me. “So you won’t sleep with me?”Dark amusement crosses his face. He definitely knows how wet I am. How badly I want to rub my cunt against the bulge in his pants, but he doesn’t ridicule me. Doesn’t ask me what I really want. At least not with words, but his teasing eyes are a whole other story.They look at me like they know.“No, I won’t sleep with you,” his large hands are still on my back, still touching me while I sit in his lap. I want him to do more for me. Alex has the perfect body to be rough and sexy, but he just sits there, watching me with a smirk.It makes me groan. “What do you want from me?”“Isn’t it obvious?” he stifles a laugh by biting his lower lip, and even that is sexy. I swallow another groan and try to ignore how good he smells when he hugs me to him.“Nothing is obvious with you,” I say, and try to find a sitting posi

    AmberI won’t be able to sleep like this. Alex is spooning me against his hard chest, the smell of citrus and bergamot warm in my nose since he just showered before joining me in my bed. His chin is on top of my head, and his arm is snaking up my entire belly while holding onto my nonexistent breasts. It really puts his size into perspective. My body is entirely swallowed by his larger one, and he is sound asleep. I swallow down a groan and wiggle my butt a little to get some more space. But the reaction I get is shocking. Alex is steadily becoming harder and harder. He even moans in his sleep. It’s such a sexy, exotic sound that my entire face flames. Gah, what am I supposed to do? My heart is racing, and it only worsens when Alex rolls us over, changing our position so I’m straddling him. Or more like I’m using him as a mattress since my legs don’t spread enough for me to touch the bedsheets. He is a thick boy. I don’t have enough strength to fight this. I’m ridiculously attracte

    AmberI glance up from the dough I’m kneading, not surprised to find Alex watching me from the kitchen table. His sky-blue eyes are studying my every move with vivid interest, and I shiver.I can’t believe I’m marrying this man. Alex is way too sexy for someone like me. He would be too pretty if not for cuts and bruises on his elegant face and the slightly bumped nose from his time on the battlefield. It might be weird to say that about a guy, especially one as big and strong as Alex, but somehow, the word “pretty” fits him. I get a strong case of butterflies whenever he smiles at me.“Are the cookies ready yet? “he asks with such impatience it’s easy to forget the fearsome Alpha he is and only see the inner child that never grew up. Alex is adorable...until he rises from his seat, and I once again remember that my head doesn’t even make it past his broad chest.I frown. “I liked it better when you were sitting.”Alex pauses in his tracks, and a confused look crosses his face. “Oh...u

    Alex“Amber, open the door,” I knock on the bathroom door, frustrated that my future wife is hiding from me. Am I really that bad in her eyes?Sure, I told Amber that I would kill her former pack members, but it’s normal in the werewolf and the Lycan world! Wars are fought all the time, and regardless of her feelings, most of Amber’s former packmates are likely planning an assault on my pack already. And if they hurt me and my pack, they also pose a risk to Amber as well. She is a member of my pack now; can’t she see that? Is she that oblivious?I fail to understand why she is still so devoted to her old pack. Just why is she still loyal to them? What reason does she have to protect them?! They threw her away by forcing her into marriage with a Lycan against her will simply because no one else wanted to do it!It was cruel.Any other person in Amber’s position wouldn’t have been able to keep their composure the way she has. She’s gone above and beyond, putting in an effort to get to k

    Amber“After seeing how much you care about Alex, I really want a mate for myself,” Edison says in a low tone and looks down at the table inside McDonald’s with sad eyes. Alex is in the bathroom, so the two of us are alone.I stop sucking from my straw and set down my milkshake, grabbing a french fry instead. “Alex isn’t my mate.”“You still care about him, and he can claim you, right?”My cheeks turn warmer. “Right...” My heart is pounding incredibly fast, but talking about how vulnerable Alex makes me isn’t something I want to do. I change the subject back to Edison and his mate issue. “What is stopping you from trying to find your fated mate?”He releases a humorless laugh. “This form,” he gestures at his human self. “I might look human, but it’s just an illusion. Sure, I would look like this at my most intimate, but my true form also needs love and attention. And I’m not sure who could ever love a giant drider.”“Aww, Edison!” I reach out my hand, placing it over his larger one. H

    AlexI stand naked in my human form and glare into the forest with a conflicted heart.Why is this happening?The smell of the dragon fills me with dread. Not because I’m afraid of dragons - I’ve crossed claws with them before and come out victorious. I might be smaller than them, but I’m strong, and that’s why dragons don’t scare me. That’s not what this is...the truth is, I know what’s going to happen next. Don’t ask me how. I just know in my heart that this is the moment I lose her - Amber - to someone else.See, dragons don’t just appear for no reason. This oversized reptile is here for a purpose, and when I meet Amber’s frightened eyes, my whole chest constricts.I can’t do this. I’m falling for her, but I know in my heart and soul that the dragon must be her fated mate here because he somehow picked up her scent.Amber doesn’t seem to have realized that yet. She has probably never met a dragon before. Her expression tells me she is terrified, and it’s confirmed by her taking my

    AmberWhen I go to bed with Alex, I’m angry. Not at him, but at the world. Right when I was starting to feel comfortable with Alex as my future husband, a dragon woman showed up to tell me I had a fated mate out there - her son. It’s so annoying, and I can’t stop grumbling to myself.Alex slides the duvet to the side. The bed sheets are newly changed in the room by the people working for their Alpha, and there is a faint scent of softener in the room. It calms me down a little, and I look at Alex - only to blush when I realize he is taking off his clothes without a care in the world.“You’re sleeping naked?” I ask, eyeing his chest. Short, black hair grows over his hard pectoral muscles. The sheen from the lamp catches them, making his skin appear golden.So pretty.Without waiting for Alex’s answer, I approach him tentatively. He stops moving and holds his breath, watching me come close. I waste no time. I place my palm right above his heart, feeling his strong heartbeat. His skin is

    AshleeMy life’s been a joke for a week. I’m the Alpha of my pack and shouldn’t be stuck in a damn prison cell, but here I am, captured by Alpha Alex and my former pack mate, Amber. She used to be our little Omega, but she smells different now. Stronger. Maybe she is forming a pack of her own?Either way, I must find a way to get out of this dungeon. Every minute spent here is a waste of time—who knows what Emma is up to? She could be hurting my pack members, just like she fractured my mind with her magic.Suddenly, I hear footsteps. It’s the ones belonging to Edison, the giant drider that happens to be my mate. I pull my legs to my body and wrap my arms around them. He might be my mate, but I think he is scarier than the others.“Are you hungry?”I remain silent, avoiding eye contact with Edison. Despite his tall and attractive human form, I know it is just a facade to hide the truth: he is a human-eating monster. I’m not sure what’s more frightening: the fact that his eyes are pitch

    EdisonI am utterly perplexed. Amber is my master and, as her familiar, I would do anything to protect her. Our bond is unbreakable because of our contract and because I genuinely care for her as a friend.But now things have changed. The little human lying on the couch is my mate, and even though she tried to kill Amber before she fell unconscious, my heart still pounds for her.Alpha Emma.When she makes a noise in her sleep, I force myself to look away. Every instinct is telling me to pick her up and hold her in my arms. Even if she is an Alpha werewolf, she seems so vulnerable and small in my eyes. It makes me want to protect her…even if she hardly deserves that. Fuck. What is the matter with me? She is supposed to be the enemy!“Uhh…” Ashlee sits up on the couch but pauses when she notices her handcuffs. It’s special ones that will prevent her from shape-shifting. Eris put them on her, and they are apparently magic-infused. “Where am I?”“This is Alpha Alex’s mansion.”I wait for

    AmberAshlee’s eyes flash silver for a moment, and I see her struggle, her head whipping back and forth. But then, the mania returns, and she lunges for my throat again. I buck and wriggle beneath her, but she’s too heavy.Suddenly, a loud growl reverberates through the forest. It’s Alex - or maybe Eris? Does it belong to a Lycan or a dragon? In this commotion, it’s hard to tell. The figure charges towards us, shifting mid-air into a massive...dridder?My eyes widen with realization - this is Edison coming to save me, not Alex, or Eris. I almost laugh at that. To think my familiar is more knowing of when I’m in danger is laughable.“What are you doing to Amber?!” Edison shouts before his massive hand swoops down, grabbing Ashlee and holding her in front of his glowing, spider eyes. “Just who the hell do you think you are attacking my master like that?”I shift back into a human, staring up at Edison, who is holding Ashlee as if she is nothing more than a toy.“Edison,” I say, gaining

    AmberSuddenly, the world tilts back into focus. Eris is still kneeling before me, his mouth glistening with my arousal and a self-satisfied smirk on his face. I’m still trembling, my legs weak from the intense orgasm that has just ripped through me.Eris rises slowly, his gaze never leaving mine as he pulls up my clothes to cover me again. His hands are still trembling slightly as he helps me get dressed. It’s a strange contrast to his earlier aggression, and I find it equally attractive.“Why did you stop?” The words tumble out of my mouth before I can stop them.Eris seems startled by my question but recovers quickly. “I didn’t want to mark you against your will,” he says, his voice as rough as sandpaper. “When I make you mine, completely and utterly mine, it’s going to be after you begged me to. It’s also going to be in a bed where I can worship your body properly.”My heart skips a beat at his words. Eris leans in close, so close I can feel the warmth radiating off him. His scent

    Amber“You slept with Alex, didn’t you?” Eris’ voice is like a gunshot, his expression twisted into something between disbelief and betrayal.I can’t look at him as I nod slowly. “I did.” It’s the worst thing I’ve ever done to him. I had sex with Alex right under his nose, knowing how much it hurts him. We are mates, but...I was with Alex first. “It seems I can’t stay away from him.” I add, for what reason, I don’t know.Eris locks his eyes on mine, hissing. It’s such a dangerous expression I fear he will hurt me. Instead, he approaches me and pushes me up against one of the trees. I’m shocked. It seems there is a darker side to Eris and I find myself liking it. Heat spreads between my legs, something my dragon mate doesn’t miss.“Wait,” Eris pauses, his eyes darkening. “Do you like that I’m angry with you?”I don’t answer him. I just bite my lower lip and Eris smirks, suddenly slamming his hand around my throat, choking me softly but forcefully enough to know he is in charge.“You be

    Amber I shift uncomfortably in the backseat of the car, my heart pounding with guilt and anxiety. We are on our way home from the pumpkin farm, and I can’t bring myself to look at Eris. Not after I had sex with Alex. I feel like a total slut since I can’t keep my paws away from that man, but at the same time, can anyone blame me? I’ve had a thing with Alex. Like, I don’t know what we are to each other right now, but what I do know is that I want him. Eris hasn’t done anything wrong, but that doesn’t matter. Just because he is a good person doesn’t mean I automatically want him. My heart is set on Alex. ...how do I tell Eris that? And am I one hundred percent sure that I want Alex? Right as I ask myself that question, my mind is consumed by memories of the heated encounter I just had with Alex in the clearing, our passion consuming us despite the fact that I’m bound to Eris by destiny. “Hey, Edison, have you ever tried carving pumpkins with power tools?” Alex asks conversationally

    AmberI can’t believe Alex just told me to use him and that I’m actually considering it. I shouldn’t be thinking about riding him. He isn’t my fated mate. I should be horrified about his offer, but instead, my body betrays me as desire floods through my veins.I want him more than my lungs crave oxygen, and the confident look on his face tells me he is very aware of that. Alex knows how much I crave him, and his self-confidence only adds to his dark, seductive charm.“Are you sure?” I ask, feeling my face burn red with embarrassment and excitement.My fated mate, Eris, is somewhere nearby picking out a pumpkin, completely unaware of what is happening. Guilt nips at the edges of my consciousness thinking about him, but the pounding need between my thighs easily drowns out my guilt. I can’t help but let my eyes travel over Alex’s muscular frame, and the sight of him makes me even wetter.“Of course,” he replies confidently, smirking at me in a way that makes it hard not to climb him lik

    AmberMy life has officially turned into one of those romantic movies where the female lead is chased by two beautiful men. Alex and Eris want me, and I have no clue what or who I want. I’m in love with Alex, but there is a mate bond between Eris and me that is hard to fight against. I’m drawn to them both, honestly.That’s why I have decided to bond with both of them. I’m going to turn my life into “The Bachelorette,” which might be a stupid idea, but it’s the only one that I’ve got.“I think it’s a wonderful idea,” Edison says while helping me pick an outfit. I’m going to pick a pumpkin to carve for Halloween - both Eris and Alex are going to this farm with me. I’m super excited.“I hope so,” I say and sigh. “Do you think it’s stupid of me to celebrate Halloween when we are in the middle of a war with my old pack, though?”“No,” he smiles. “They haven’t made another move. We are waiting for that, and in the meantime, we can’t stop living. You should definitely be celebrating Hallowe

    AmberMy breath hitches in my throat the moment I step outside Alex’s mansion and into the lush garden. Looming before me is a colossal white dragon, its yellow gaze piercing me with unrestrained intensity. At first, I’m afraid, but as soon as I feel the mate bond brewing, I know that the dragon is none other than Eris.“Jesus, he is big,” Edison comments from behind me in an amazed voice. “Just as large as my spider form.”“He really is...” Alex sounds grumpy. “Is that your fated mate, Amber?”I’m unable to answer him as I stare up at Eris. He is staring right back at me and seems relieved to see me. I’m about to approach him but stop in my tracks when plenty of guards storm the garden, all of them in their lycan forms and ready to battle.Panic swells with me, and I turn around. “Alex, you have to tell them not to attack him!”Irritation ticks against Alex’s jaw. “For you, I will tell them not to attack him, but I can’t really say that I’m happy that you’re mate is here...”I wet my
