Dale’s POV

The moon priestess was right.

Skin-to-skin contact did help Amber’s wolf to deal with the mate bond, and in no time, the pain was almost gone, and she was sleeping like a baby in my arms.

Janine had helped as well, stuffing Amber up with different kinds of concoctions that it was hard to tell what worked in the end.

“How long has her wolf been bound like this?”

The priestess asked, pulling me from my daze. I glanced at Amber—she looked beautiful when she slept—and wondered why someone would do this to her. The fact that her wolf could be quite strong could not be the only reason.I shrugged.

“I’m guessing since she met her wolf.” It did look like it had been going on for a long time. Amber had no clue she had a wolf when I met her. “Or before that. She used to believe she was wolf-less.” Maybe she still did.

“Then it is a good thing you found her. If her wolf isn’t bound before the next culling, she might die. I can only imagine what pain she has been going through

  • Bride Of The Lycan King   Getting To Know Him

    Amber’s POV “Mate.” My heart skipped at the mention of that word. In fact, ever since waking up and finding myself in the same bed as him, my body has been going through a lot of phases.My stomach danced with butterflies when he pulled me to sit on his thighs, and now that his eyes were boring into mine with the kind of intensity hot lava used to melt iron, I couldn’t bring myself to look away.His fingers traced my scars—the ones that were healed—and his lips parted slightly. If I concentrated, I could almost feel that pull that I had felt before. It had been mixed with the pain before, but it was there; I had felt it.It proved I had a wolf. Alpha Dale had not been lying. I really did have a wolf, although I did not want to think about why someone would go as far as binding that wolf in and letting me believe I had no wolf for so many years.The fact that I may have found my mate was something I could not stop thinking of, and he was the most handsome man I ever laid eyes on. He

  • Bride Of The Lycan King   Who is Mallory?

    Amber’s POV The temperature in the room dropped. A chill raced through my spine. Tension around the room was palpable, but Eric was still oblivious to what was happening, or was it just me reading meaning into things?Who was Mallory? And why was everyone reacting the way they did to her name?Breakfast was quiet after that. No one said a word about Mallory, but I did notice that Alpha Dale pulled his brother to one side after breakfast. Their exchange was too low for me to make out the words they said, but Alpha Dale’s eyes narrowed every now and then, and Eric maintained his smug grin. Janine was busy with the beta, and I had no idea what to do. I paused at the door, wondering if I should return to my room or wander aimlessly. What else was there that I could do? Glancing back, I caught Janine waving at me, and then she began walking my way.“Are you okay?” her eyes flashed as she stopped in front of me. Maintaining eyes contact was still hard for me so I lowered my head.“I

  • Bride Of The Lycan King   Do you want me?

    Amber’s POV When Alpha Dale returned to the room, he was positively furious. His eyes softened when he saw me—it seemed as though he had completely forgotten I was here—but I still could see past the mask he was struggling to put on. Taking a seat next to me on the couch, he placed his head on my thighs and closed his eyes. I wanted to take care of him the way he took care of me, and probably this was the only way I could do it. Besides, I did not feel the need to push him away or complain. Was Mallory still here? I glanced at the door, wondering how their conversation had gone after that. Did Eric finally realize what was going on? Was anyone going to tell him? Did they already tell him? What was his reaction? Was Mallory really here because she wanted to get back with Alpha Dale? Could I fight for Alpha Dale?I had so many questions, but I knew I wasn’t getting any answers anytime soon. Alpha Dale was sleeping faster than I could say Jack, but while he slept, pain ricoc

  • Bride Of The Lycan King   Finding Answers

    Dale’s POV Leaving our shared bedroom, I found Janine hovering just outside the door. Concern was etched on her face, and her eyes widened when she saw me. Beta Trent was with me, but as usual, he was relaxed and composed, only standing straight as he saw me come out. “How is she?” Janine demanded. “Asleep.” I answered. “If she keeps being in pain like this…” I trailed off, unable to make myself say the words. Amber’s health was quickly declining, and if something was not done about it soon, I hated to think what would happen.A puzzled expression crossed her face. “What is it, Alpha?”I took a deep breath in. “Amber’s health is deteriorating quickly.We have to find a way to unbind her wolf before it’s too late.”I scratched my quickly growing stubble. I knew I should shave soon, but I could just find the time to do it, not with all that was going on. I couldn’t sleep, and although we were still getting to know each other, being away from her while she slept felt odd.“What

  • Bride Of The Lycan King   More Questions

    Dale’s POV Mallory leaned against the wall outside my room with a suggestive smirk on her face. One look at her and I could tell what she was thinking, but it was never going to happen. Her smile widened, and she tilted her head back. “Is this any way to treat an old fling, Alpha Dale? ”I scoffed. “You and I were a mistake. One I regret making. ”Her smile did not falter, but her stance did, and suddenly she was standing too close to me that was acceptable. My wolf growled his warning, pushing her back with a warning glare. “You seem awfully protective of that weak girl. She’s so weak; are you sure she really is your mate? ”I stiffened, clenching my fist to keep my wolf from breaking through my control. “If you know how close I am to losing control of my wolf, who isn’t fond of you, you will stay out of my business and keep my mate’s name out of your mouth. ”Mallory chuckled. It was not a reaction I was expecting, but this was Mallory, and I should not be surprised. “I mean

  • Bride Of The Lycan King   A Glimpse of the Past

    Amber’s POV The scent of smoke overwhelmed my respiratory organs, suffocating me from the inside. A smaller version of me stood in the middle of a burning city. My tiny hands trembled at my sides. The sky was colored with red and orange, a mirror of the horror that was going on around me. Fear and tears closed my vision as I stared at the fire, which was destroying everything in its path. Bodies were scattered everywhere in the street. Someone was calling my name, but I couldn’t bring myself to move. I knew I needed to move, but I couldn’t look away from the horror I had caused. Yes, I knew this was my doing. Yes, I did this. I did this, and I was going to do more. I heard the woman’s voice before I saw her. Her screams pierced through my ears and heart, pulling my attention to the people who were running towards me. Somehow, I knew what would happen if they came any closer. My wolf—at that young age, I already had my wolf—recognized them as a threat.Slowly, I raised my hands

  • Bride Of The Lycan King   Get Ready To Return Home

    Amber’s POV The next days and weeks that followed were mostly uneventful, save for the bouts of pain that were becoming more and more severe and my constant run-ins with Mallory. I had no idea what she wanted from me or what her qualm was with me, but it was beginning to unnerve me. Alpha Dale was always busy running pack business that I barely got to see him, and when I did see him, I couldn’t shake the feeling that he was avoiding me. Did I do something wrong? Was this whole inaccessible mate thing beginning to piss him off?Janine mentioned on multiple occasions that he was trying to find a way to break the binding without hurting me, and he kept hitting walls. Was that why? Maybe he finally realized I was a lost cause and was trying to let me off. Crossing the foyer, I waited ten seconds before I began a slow walk through the hallway that led to Alpha Dale’s office. Since my arrival here, I could count how many times I had visited this wing of the mansion. I never came

  • Bride Of The Lycan King   Moonstone Pack

    Amber’s POV I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at nothing in particular. My mind was everywhere, although I had tried to assure myself and Alpha Dale had tried to assure me as well; I was not sure I was ready to face my former pack. Still, it was too late to take back my words. Why had I just blurted those words out without thinking? The soft knock on the door barely registered through the haze of my thoughts. Glancing out my window, I noted that it was almost sunset and we would be leaving soon. Alpha Derrick was gone, I reminded myself. He gave up his Alpha title and fled after I left. Lydia and Celia were gone as well. So, why the hell was I scared? The knock sounded again, followed by the sound of the door creaking open. Janine popped her head through the small space, followed by the rest of her body. “You good?” she asked, settling into the space beside me. I shrugged, lowering my head to stare at my hands.“I still think this is a bad idea, though,” she said, pulli

  • Bride Of The Lycan King   Trouble

    Amber’s POV I stared at her. For too long than was considered appropriate. Celia. Saying her name in my head stroked chords of fear and anger. I still dreamt of her, and I hated to admit that a part of me still felt that tremor of fear. I dreamt of all the punishments she made me endure. The strikes of whip that tore my flesh. For a minute, I forgot to breathe. My lungs were frozen and no matter how much I tried, my nose just wouldn’t take in any air. She was here. In front of me and I was the weak, vulnerable and frightened girl that was left for dead in a well. Once again, I was trapped in that suffocating cell and starving because they refused to feed a prisoner like me. I heard her laugh and it felt as though a knife was scraping down the inside of my skull. Rage bubbled through me. My hands began to tremble and my vision became blurry. Athena surged to the surface and her fury seeped into my bones. I squeezed my eyes shut, desperate to regain control and push the memorie

  • Bride Of The Lycan King   D-Day

    Amber’s POV As Yeti predicted, her glamour was sloppy but the bad work wasn’t that noticeable. Except someone was standing too close and then they’d definitely see the glitches. So, including rule number one which Yeti had spent at least fifteen minutes drumming into me, I now had to add a second rule. Don’t go too close to anyone. We left the hotel an hour later. The anxiety that I was feeling kept me from noticing how beautiful Free City had become with all the decorations for the Culling. Although, I didn’t fail to notice that the city was packed with people three times the usual. “Free City is hosting the Culling this year,” Eric supplied. “It’s been almost seven years since we hosted the Culling. Too bad it had to be this way.” I glanced out the window, thinking about Derrick and the fact that he might be here. Alpha Dale and I were supposed to be enjoying this day, instead, we were being forced to fight to be together. “The pack house is only a mile away,” Eric said, glan

  • Bride Of The Lycan King   Glamour

    Amber’s POV Days and nights blurred together and before I knew it, a week went by. Beta Trent and Eric spent the one week before the Culling training me even harder than Alpha Dale used to train me. and not just physically, my abilities were tested as well – as best as they could which wasn’t even scratch the surface deep, but at least I got to know that my abilities had something to do with manipulating emotions and elements. While Beta Trent and Eric spent the day sharpening my senses and helping me be more in tune with my wolf, I spent the night trying to suppress the growing ache in my chest whenever I thought of Alpha Dale – which was always. I found little consolation in talking to Athena – who I was getting to know more and more – and talking to the life forming inside me. On the seventh day, I didn’t feel the least ready but I still dressed in a black hoodie – Eric was sure would hide my face and Janine had gotten me a cream which would mask my scent – I pulled my long,

  • Bride Of The Lycan King   Harsh Reality

    Amber’s POV My heart pounded in my chest and my lungs constricted as I waited for Eric’s answer. There was a frown on his face as he pondered the question, then the frown deepened, and his lips pursed. “Who is Derrick?” he asked. “Am I supposed to know him?” I let out a breath I hadn’t even realized I was holding. But then, I realized if Yeti’s mother was now actively working with Donn, then it only meant Alpha Derrick was somewhere in the picture. Perhaps, behind the scenes, pulling the string and my airways constricted once more. “Derrick is the former Alpha of Moonstone pack and the man who raised Amber,” Beta Trent explained. “He’s Alpha Dale’s number one enemy.” Eric looked lost but he didn’t ask any further questions. Meanwhile, my mind was going through a lot of scenarios. What if Derrick had been working with Donn from the very beginning? What if he was the reason Donn came to Free City and brought the council with him? It was plausible and fit right into the puzzle. I

  • Bride Of The Lycan King   August Visitor

    Amber’s POV For the next three days, it was as though we were in denial. None of us wanted to talk about what had happened, nor even think about it, although it was my waking thought and the last thing I thought about before sleeping. We all wanted to forget about it. But I couldn’t forget Alpha Dale’s expressionless face as he stood beside Mallory with her hand in his. I couldn’t forget him chasing me through the woods and I sure as hell couldn’t stop thinking about the what ifs. What would have happened if he had caught me? Janine couldn’t forget about what role Yeti’s mother played in all of this, and although, I saw her trying to act indifferent, I knew how hard it was for her, seeing as Yeti was once a friend. Yeti… I had no idea what Yeti was thinking. She was quiet and closed off and never left her room except when it was time to eat. Beta Trent couldn’t forget about the fact that Alpha Dale’s uncle was now in control of Free city. Although, we didn’t say it out loud, o

  • Bride Of The Lycan King   Rescue & Reunion

    Amber’s POV I shifted back to my human form without even realizing it. “Janine?” I gasped, tears pouring from my eyes. Yeti and Beta Trent stood at a safe distance behind her and both heaved a sigh of relief. “How are you guys here? Beta Trent?” Taking off her jacket, Janine stepped forward and draped it on my naked form. Although the day was dark, I could still make out her pale face, hollow cheeks and bandaged hand. Yeti didn’t look any better. She had cuts and bruises everywhere, but her eyes were still filled with concern as she stared at me. “What the hell happened?” I whispered. “I saw the video. I thought you were –” Janine touched my arm lightly, as if trying to remind me that they were here and they were fine. “We’ll explain everything later,” she said, gently pushing me forward. ‘For now, let’s get out of here.” My eyes darted between all three of them and I felt as if a weight has been lifted off my chest. But my mind went back to Alpha Dale or the man I saw who was

  • Bride Of The Lycan King   Alpha Dale?

    Amber’s POV When I snapped back to reality, it wasn’t slow or gentle. My lungs ached with a burning sensation and my throat was raw. My limbs trembled with exertion and I was no longer on my knees. Instead, I was standing in the middle of what looked like a fucking war zone. Blood and carnage were everywhere – splattered across the concrete walls, soaking the ground, even dripping from a dangling broken light overhead that swung on its last thread. Coppery scent of blood filled the air, nearly suffocating. I staggered back, clutching my stomach as bile rose up in my throat. My entire body felt like it was on fire and my skin crawled. Did – did I do this? I glanced around the bloodied room, gasping when my eyes landed on Alpha Dale’s uncle. He laid a few feet away from me, crumpled and bleeding from… everywhere. His chest rose and fell in slow, shallow breaths. One arm was twisted at an unnatural angle, and a deep gash marred the side of his face. I looked down at my own hands

  • Bride Of The Lycan King   Losing Control

    Amber POV The hum of the car vibrated through my bones as we sped through the woods. I stopped counting the trees or time a long time ago. I was sure we were out of Free City and maybe in another Alpha’s territory, but we were still going. I did not said any words. Not even given the driver directions to where we could find Mallory, but he was still driving. I stopped thinking about everything as well. As long as this man was far from Janine and Yeti, it was enough for me. Alpha Dale’s uncle sat beside me and I could feel his unblinking gaze burning in the side of my face but I had made myself numb to that as well. “You’ve not spoken a word since,” he said suddenly. “Offering to lead me to a place which might not exist is very brave of you.” I raised a brow at him. There was something chilling about the way he observed me. it wasn’t like the look predators gave their preys, but like I was a puzzle he already solved. My heart hammered in my chest. Did he finally figure out my bl

  • Bride Of The Lycan King   The Execution

    Amber’s POV Alpha Dale’s uncle smirked at the stunned silence that followed his words. “Runaways.” He repeated with a mocking jest, rolling the word around on his tongue. “That’s the story. Alpha Dale’s precious mate ran away because she couldn’t stand her dangerous power. She couldn’t stand being a danger to him or anyone else. Of course, her friends went with her.” Janine lunged forward, but the guards held her back. “You sick, lying piece of—!” “Careful now,” he warned, his voice dangerously calm. “You don’t want to make your last hours more painful.” “Are you really going to kill us?” Yeti’s voice broke as she spoke. “You’ll kill Anber? Alpha Dale won’t let you get away with that. You should know— ”He glanced at Yeti impatiently. “Did I not mention Alpha Dale will never know? To him, you all ran away. But don’t worry, Amber here won’t be executed, if that’s what you’re worried about. ”He waved a dismissive hand, and the guards shoved us forward towards a black transport t
