AmyI woke up with a light head. I willed myself not to think anything about Jace so that I can focus on my work. I realized that I had lagged behind on the book I was editing. I poured myself some coffee and sat in front of my laptop. I am surprised when I finish the book before one. I haven't eaten anything sensible since morning. I last ate a decent meal at Jace's house. Ugh... There he goes again. He just can't get out of my mind. I can't stop thinking about him. I miss him now.I turn off the laptop and go to the kitchen. I try not to remember that Jace was kissing me on that kitchen counter, but it's hopeless. Jace has probably done something to me. I have never been possessed by someone like this. I have to use possessed because I nolonger have any control over my own feelings. There isn't enough groceries in the kitchen for me to make a decent meal. I hate this day.While I am getting angry at my kitchen, someone knocks at my door. I am not expecti
JaceAmy invites me into her apartment and I enter without thinking twice. I know that I am being too careful with my words but I don't want to ruin this day for Amy and me. I want to be a normal man that Amy wants. She hasn't told me that I am abnormal. Maybe not yet. I really want to show her that I can be a normal boyfriend that she deserves."What are you thinking about?" Amy asks while walking into the kitchen. I follow behind her like a puppy."Nothing. Just you," I reply."What about me?" she inquires, and pours some water for herself into a glass."Everything.""Like?""How nice you are," I reply, and I am rewarded with a smile."Nice?" she raises an eyebrow at me."Yes," I reply, and walk farther into the kitchen."What makes you say so?" she asks with a shy smile."Because I am a jerk and you still went to lunch with me," I reply."I don't think you are a jerk," she shrugs her shoulder.
AmyI am so nervous when I get out of the kitchen. My body is still excited from the recent touches that Jace has been giving me. My legs are wobbly and I am slightly giddy. I wanted to ignore the call and go on with the Jace's rewarding and all that he has in store for me, but mom hasn't called me for a while. She could have something important to tell me."Hello, Amy. I'm sorry if I am disturbing you, switie," her voice is sweet and apologetic as ever."No, mom. It's fine. I wasn't that busy," I lie. I was actually very busy. Oh, and I have a man in my kitchen. I wonder what mom would say about that."I have a work seminar on Wednesday. It is going to be held in town where you are, so I want to visit you after," she says."That would be great, mom. I really miss you," I tell her."I miss you too, dear. That is why I can't miss this chance to see you in your new apartment," she says." Me too. I have a lot of things that I want to ta
JaceIt is quite dark when I leave Amy's apartment. I wanted to stay or drag Amy home with me, but I don't want to be the clingy type of boyfriend. I want to give her some breathing space even though our bodies demand the closeness to each other. I want to hold her till we say goodbye to the sun and good morning to it when we wake up but Amy and I are still new in our relationship. We need to give each other space so we can make sensible decisions. Amy has a job that requires a lot of her attention. I also need her attention. She has to decide on how to satisfy both our needs.I got her phone number. I couldn't make the mistake of going back home without it. Now I can go home with a peaceful mind knowing that I can reach her by just putting on my phone. My car still has her sweet smell. I wish she was in here driving with me to our home. It will be our home soon. I will make sure that happens. We could reach home and I would kiss her until we reach our bedroom. I don't
Amy I am so anxious to when my mom calls me telling me that she is already in town. The seminar is supposed to be ending at five in the evening. She says she will come to my apartment immediately after. I am so excited and nervous. I am just a bundle of nerves and I am afraid I will mess up. I have everything ready for her. I have already cleaned up and organized the entire apartment for her arrival. I really want to show my mom that I am now a grown and independent woman. I just want her to be proud of me. The knock on the door gets me to halt in my tracks. I am in the kitchen getting everything ready with the meal. I have already finished preparing and the only thing left is setting up the table and serving. I ran hastily to the door and take a deep breath before opening it. I don't want to appear a nervous mess when my mom sees me, but I am just too excited. "Mom!" I cry out as I engulf her in a tight bear hug. "Amy, sweetie," she smiles sweetly at me and the entire room heats u
JaceI am fuming with fury and morbid disgust. My body is covered in blood from the wounds I got from the fight. I know that I will heal quickly so that is the least of my concern. I can't get myself to calm down when the evil smirk Dwayne carried on his face when he mentioned Amy's name still replays in my mind. How dare he invade my private territory! I gave up my own park for the sake of peace but that didn't seem enough to him. He still wants more. He wants my mate and my family. He wants to take away the biggest treasures left in my life so that he can ruin my life."He is not going to stop this until he gets what he wants. Until he takes everything from me," I scream out towards Jose who is equally covered in blood. Patrick stands quietly behind me. His arm is still bleeding from the cut one of Dwayne's followers gave him during the fight. Jose nods frantically and I continue shouting over my lungs."I won't let him carry on his plans. He ruined my life an
AmyHaving Jace on top of me in my bed while my mom is asleep on the couch just an earshot away makes me feel so dirty. I just sneaked a man into my room in the middle of the night. Jace quickly removes his shirt and discards it on the floor. His hard muscles stretch out of his body in a sexy masculine way. I bet he works out every day. My fingers itch to draw patterns on his hair dusted chest"Seeing something you like?" he raises an eyebrow at me. I smile at him as he leans in closer toward me so I can have a better look. I run my fingers across his hard chest and sexy abs. He has a scar across his chest on the breast where his heart rests. It looks like a slash or scratch, I can't tell. I trace it with my fingers and place my palm on it to feel his heart bit. It looks like someone wanted to pull out his heart. He places his hand over mine and I look at him."My heart beats for you, baby. I don't think it could still beat if I lose you," his voice is raw with
JaceMs. Hermann is such a charming lady. I wanted to stay in bed and wait for Amy to come back but I had a feeling I was going to regret if I didn't meet her. If things go well, she might end up as my mother-in-law. It would be awesome if she would always visit us when Amy moves in with me. I know she would go along well with the other women, especially Sophia.Amy stands behind her mother wearing an adorable smile. She watches her mother and me as we make endless chitchat."As much as I would like to stick around and have fun with this prince charming, I have to go. My colleagues will leave me behind and I don't want to go back home on my own," she says and gets up from the stool she was sitting on."Where are the rest of your colleagues? I can drive you there if you don't mind. My car is parked outside," I offer."Don't bother yourself. I already called in for a taxi. It will be arriving in a few minutes," she says."Okay. Maybe nex
TWO YEARS LATER Amy I finally dash down the stairs after staying in the bathroom for almost half an hour staring at the results of the pregnancy test. I am afraid that I might be too excited and this may be a fake result. For all the two years of being married to Jace, we have been trying to get pregnant. After the first year of so much trying and disappointments, I gave up hope of having a baby with Jace. Everything has been going great in our marriage and the entire pack, but one thing has been lacking. Jace has always convinced me that it doesn't matter if we have a baby or not but I would notice how he looked at parents around the castle. Jose and Sophia had their first child, Bella last year. Patrick and Alexa's boy is almost two years now. There are so many kids around this place and it hurts being the only one unable to have one. Reaching downstairs, I find Jace and Jose giving instructions to the engineer who is handling the construction of Pack's hospital. Jace is plannin
Amy Today is Jace's coronation day. It is also my coronation but it is mainly Jace's. I am so happy for him. Today is the day he will officially become the Alpha of the Redclaw pack. I see him growing stronger and more hopeful every day that I wake up by his side. Saying that I moved in with him is an understatement of the fact that I can't even leave his side. Our love for each other grows stronger and stronger each morning. Most of my things are still in my apartment. I haven't even made up my mind to go and collect them. Most of the things that I am using are new: the clothes, the shoes, almost everything. I want to go back to my apartment sometime next week and pick up my laptop. I want to continue doing my job and catch up with the things I have lagged on. Jace told me there is no need for me to work, but I still insisted on doing my job. I love my job and it doesn't demand a lot from me. I know I will always save time to sit down and edit some articles. I slowly remove Jace'
JaceTHREE WEEKS LATERThe Redclaw pack is once again in jubilation. The castle has been decorated to its maximum. All kinds of foods and drinks have filled the castle kitchen. I wonder if we will be able to finish all of it. Very long guest lists have been made. Some invited packs I have never heard of, but ofcourse Alpha Daniel of the Half moon pack is the first on the invite list. I wouldn't risk my life to dare forget to invite him. A very special seat has been saved for him and his wife, as well as his Beta.I am standing in the great hall watching the pack members as they move about joyfully decorating the place. There is nothing in this place that can act as an evidence of what happened three weeks ago. All the remains of the bloody battle were cleaned up and burnt to smithereens.Now the castle is a place where everyone comes to have their feel of happiness. Tomorrow will be my Alpha crowning ceremony and everything is a percentage more exci
AmyJace finds the door to the bathroom and opens it to check inside. A few minutes after he enters, I hear water running and then being turned off. Jace later comes out and walks to the bed."There is a bathtub big enough for us to fit. I have filled it with warm water and I think it will be more refreshing than a shower," he tells me. He looks looks at me with a secret smile. I am only dressed in pants."Should I help you with those?" he asks me referring to my pants."No need. I can manage to take them off on my own," I answer him with a smile."I don't mind helping. Besides, I enjoy helping you get naked," he says with a smirk and I swat his arm."Come here," he beckons me with open arms, and I don't think twice before responding. He helps me off the bed and I stand on my feet. He squats in front of me and slowly undoes my zipper. Carefully, he pulls my pants down to my feet and I step out of them. I am left in only in my white lace pant
JaceI had assured myself that I was dead but the feel of my girl's gorgeous lips on mine awakens every cell in my body. I pull her closer to me and engulf my arms around her. This has been a really tough day and night for both of us and I am very glad that we still have each other. Amy pulls away from the kiss and looks me in the eyes.She runs her fingers down my collar bone to my chest. She looks so weak. She must be very exhausted. She has been in this place since yesterday morning and has spent the whole night awake. That is why her lips are pale and her face looks weary."Amy," I lift my hand so that I can trace her face with my fingers. She leans her face into my hands, submitting to my touch."Have you been hurt? Anywhere?" I ask her and she shakes her head slowly in response."I am fine. I am just worried about you," she tells me."You don't have to worry about me. I will be able to heal quickly because of my werewolf ability," I te
AmyNelly leads me behind the castle away from Dwayne and his men. Jace has remained behind to stop them but I don't feel safe at all. How can I leave Jace behind and hide?"No. I am going back to Jace," I tell Nelly."What are you talking about. You are going to get yourself killed," she says."He is alone with those monsters. I have to do something. He is going to get killed," I try to explain to her but she just shakes her head."He is trying to save you. You can't just go back. You will make things worse," she tells me. I know what she is saying is right, but I don't want to leave Jace's side. He is already very wounded. I can't stop worrying about him."Come on. Let's keep going," she pleads. I look behind me but I can't see Jace anymore. I can't even hear the growls of the wolves fighting. We have already gone far from the place where I left them. I nod to Nelly and she leads me away back to the back entrance of the castle. We we
JaceI was damn surprised out of my mind seeing Amy being brought by the pack trainer. I thought she had already gone away from here. When Dwayne walked towards the pack trainer, I thought he had caught Amy and had brought her to him. I couldn't just watch Dwayne get back Amy so I had to stop him. I saw the look in Amy's eyes when she saw my wolf. She was terrified. I started thinking that she didn't like what I really was, but the pack trainer explaining the ulterior motive of the Redclaw warriors brought unimaginable relief to me.It means that Amy came here with the warriors on her own will. When I saw Sophia among the warriors, I really felt so supported. I was not expecting any help from the Redclaw pack members and there submission to me was totally unexpected. It had never crossed my mind that the Redclaw pack would fight along side me to get rid of Dwayne and his followers.At least Amy doesn't think of me as a beast since she has been with the wol
AmyA very loud howl comes out from the woods in the direction of the castle. An equally loud growl follows the howl, making my heart pound louder. We immediately stop walking and I look at Nelly who looks very worried."What is going on?" I inquire."That is Alpha Dwayne's howl. He is trying to communicate that there is danger in the castle and the entire pack should go and defend him," Nelly replies. I look at the pack of warriors behind me wondering if they are going to choose to .defend their current Alpha or their rightful Alpha."But we know what we want. We have already chosen the side we want to fight for and we aren't going to change our minds," Menny assures me."We must hurry. I think they have started to fight," he adds, and we start running. the wolves just glide through the woods. I, however, keep stumbling over my own feet. Nelly keeps helping me to run without falling. I don't understand why she should bother trying to help me inste
JaceThe rowdy guards come back inside without Amy. I briefly sigh with relief knowing that they haven't been able to find her. I hope Sophia managed to get her out of this place. Now all I have to worry about is Jose, Patrick and Jordan. Ellen is in the great hall with me. She looks very strong. She is must be more determined than I thought."Tell me!" Dwayne orders the guards who look very breathless. They must have done a lot of running around."Sir. We searched around the castle but we couldn't find her," one of them responds."Damn it!" he roars and throws a decorative flowerpot off the windowsill infront of him. It lands on the floor with a deafening sound as it cracks into pieces. I could have laughed at seeing Dwayne throwing a fist because he has lost."Quit it, Dwayne. You are never going to have Amy. She is too smart for your idiotic pranks," I tell him with a smirk. The look on his face now is something I would pay a fortune to se
