Amber

I’ve spent more than an hour talking to Alex. We are sitting on my bed while munching on cookies that his butler delivered us. It was the same one that drove me here. His name is Smede, and I like him, even if he is a scary Lycan. Alex, on the other hand...well...

I glance at Alex when he stuffs his mouth full of cookies before swallowing. He doesn’t even chew before he burps and looks at me with a raised eyebrow. “I’m not going to apologize for my bad manners. This is my home.”

My cheeks turn molten hot. His stomach is jutting out a little from eating so many cookies, but it’s still pretty obvious he has a six-pack underneath his clothes. “Umm...I-I wasn’t expecting you to do that...” I mumble.

Alex grins mischievously, “Well, you better get used to me having no manners because that’s just how I roll,” he says while patting his stomach. “This is also a house where only men live, so eh...things might smell like cheeseballs.”

I cringe at his words and nod awkwardly. I’m not sure

    AlexI drag my tired ass up the stairs after a grueling workout in the basement. I expect to be alone on my eighteenth birthday, but to my surprise, Amber waits for me in the kitchen. Amber has been avoiding me like the plague for the past week, but today she is decorating my cake, her face unreadable as she avoids meeting my gaze. The tension between us is palpable. Now that I’m finally legal, our wedding can take place...if Amber still wants me, that is. She was acting really strange when we fell asleep in the same bed. The little thing touched my abs and then ran away as if my skin had burnt her. Doesn’t she like my muscles?I meet her gaze, hoping that some miracle will happen, and we discover we are fated mates, but nothing happens. Fuck. That means Amber’s mate is still out there. Like, I can claim her as mine since I’m a Lycan, but until then, there is an ACTUAL guy waiting for her out there. “Umm...” Amber’s frightened eyes meet mine. She seems uncomfortable with having me s

    AmberIt feels odd walking into Magic Academy. This is where I will finish my degree and where I will take additional courses because, let’s face it: I rather not spend too much time at home. I intend on avoiding Alex Lycania like the goddamn plague because that guy has the ability to hurt me by just opening his stupid mouth....it just sucks that Alex seems to be a superstar on campus. There is a whole wall committed to him. He is apparently the team captain of the Lycanball team, The Hellwolves—a real original name right there for a sports team that is entirely made up of Lycans. I rolled my eyes so far into my head the first time I heard it that I, for one second, feared I would end up blind. Sighing to myself, I reach down into my backpack to pick up my laptop. I’m hanging out on the bleachers of the Lycanball stadium. Alex is running on the field below, and while I know I shouldn’t be watching him, I’m very attracted to his muscles and shirtless torso. Not coming here to study w

    AlexI hate parties. In my opinion, they are a huge waste of time. I’m the Lycan King and the Alpha of my pack—I should be helping my Beta, Zeke, do paperwork at home. Or train with my warrior Lycans with my Gamma, Sebastian. Even the gym would be time more well-spent.The only thing besides Alpha work I have time for is Lycan ball since I plan for that sport to turn into a career. It also helps me keep muscle mass.But this?This is just misery!I sigh to myself and run my hand through my wet hair. I barely had time to shower after practice since Amber’s new friend, Emma, was stressing so much. She kept telling Amber that we needed to go if we didn’t want to stand in a party queue for free beer, and so here I am, sitting on a chair at a freaking frat party. Could I get any more miserable?“Are you having fun?”I look up at Amber. She is almost as tall as me sitting when she is standing. Utterly adorable. But what is less cute is that she is holding a red plastic cup filled with who-k

    Amber“We are sooooo lost, Alex...” I hiccup and smile at the large and beautiful Lycan walking beside me through this very creepy labyrinth. He scowls down at me with wrinkles forming on his nose.“We are not lost.”Laughter bubbles up in my throat. “We are.”“No, we are not.”I just giggle and lift my chin, keeping my eyes on Alex’s face. He is so damn pretty...would he mind if I just lifted up his T-shirt and licked his abs for one hot minute?“What?” Alex barks when I beam up at him. “Why are you looking at me like that?”“Because you’re so pretty,” I say in a baby voice that I hope he finds cute. I want Alex to like me.But much to my disappointment, he rolls his eyes at me and mutters, “You’re so drunk...”“Maybe…”Despite Alex’s attitude, I don’t stop smiling as I follow him. He is walking really, really fast, though. I have to take two steps at a time to keep up with him, but I’m struggling right now and almost fall head-first over a root that sticks up from the ground.

    Amber “Can we really trust this guy?” Alex grumbles while we follow the drider through the green, woodsy labyrinth. “I would assume so,” I try not to fall and glance between Alex and the path. “I mean, the drider could easily change back into his terrifying spider form and kill us, but he hasn’t done that, so I would assume he is trustworthy.” “I am very trustworthy and not deaf,” the drider turns around and glances between us. There is a white fang sticking out of his mouth when he smiles. He reminds me of a vampire with his pale skin and long dark hair. “And my name is Edison. I’m a person, just like the two of you.” “A person that loves to eat Lycans and werewolves for breakfast...” Alex mutters. “And humans,” Edison helpfully adds but catches himself when we both stare at him. “Err...I won’t eat you since you saved my life, but I do love to eat little critters,” he strokes his stomach. “Feels good in the tummy…” I look down at his stomach and then up at his face. “Should we

    AmberAlex, 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

    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
