Dale’s POV

She was bleeding.The smile that had been on her face morphed into a frown that marred her delicate features. Her head lowered to her torso. From the look on her face, I could tell she couldn’t fully understand what was going on.

Her breathing hitched, and her heart was beginning to race. Her fingers trembled as they touched her blood-soaked shirt, and she raised her hand to her face, staring at the crimson liquid that stained her fingertips as though it was the most fascinating thing she ever saw.

“I’m… bleeding.” She gasped. Wide eyes looked up at me a second before her pupils rolled back and her body sagged forward.

“Amber!” I jumped, catching her limp body before it collapsed completely. Panic surged through me, gripping me as tight as I gripped her. “Stay with me, Amber. Stay with me!

”They screamed, asking her body at the same time. Nothing. “Trent! I need you in my room now!” I shouted through the mind link. Thankfully, Trent replied immediately.

    Dale’s POV I could not rest easy knowing that Amber was probably fighting for her life. Worse yet, she might be losing. Trent had done as I had asked, and now I could see Gregg in the interrogation room, sitting on his tail and probably wondering if it was his execution. I glanced at Yeti, who was fidgeting behind me. “Are you ready? ”Her frightened eyes lowered to the ground, but her head bobbed affirmative. “Yes.” She mouthed, wrapping her arms around herself. For a minute, she reminded me of Amber those first few weeks after her arrival. Their first smelt almost the same. Pushing the thought away, I pulled the door to the interrogation room and stepped in. Gregg’s eyes flickered towards me, darting from me to Yeti, then back to his hands on the table. Trent turned towards the entrance as well, eyeing Yeti before nodding in my direction. “I tried to ask him if there’s a way he can reach Derrick. I mean, since he’s on assignment here, there’s a possibility they agreed to meet so

    Dale’s POV “What the hell will she be doing in a human city?” Trent spouted, his eyes darting from me to Gregg. “Are you sure about this?” Gregg nodded. “Quite. She’s in a human city alright; you can find out what she’s doing once you find her. ”He was looking at me while he spoke. “Right.” I answered. “Prepare a car, some of the men, and two of our best trackers. We leave right away. Also, provide Gregg with whatever he may need. I need to check on Amber before we leave. ”Without waiting for Trent’s voice of reason, which I was sure I was going to hear one way or the other, I dashed away from the clearing, taking my steps two at a time till I was in front of the mansion, then inside it. ‘I still feel the bond.’ My wolf said, speaking up for the first time in a while. I exhaled sharply, relieved to hear his voice. ‘Don’t panic.’I closed my eyes shut, trying to slow down my breathing and take control of my emotions, which were a mess. When I opened my eyes again, m

  • Bride Of The Lycan King   A Beast

    Amber’s POV Darkness. Not the peaceful kind that soothes you into slumber, nor the gentle quiet that welcomed your body to rest. This darkness was something else—thick, painful, suffocating, and pressing in on me from all sides. The pain tugged me out of unconsciousness, pulling me back into my body with a dull, throbbing awareness. My limbs felt heavy, my skin felt raw, and there was an uncomfortable weight in my chest that seemed both familiar and foreign. I groaned, shifting slightly as though that would help unload the weight, but instead I felt a sharp sting in my side that made me wince. My body protested any movement, reminding me exactly why I felt as though I had been run over by a train. Maybe because I had been. Well, not literally—but if I counted everything that had happened, it was close to that. My body wasn’t healing as fast as it should, and Alpha Dale…Alpha Dale. My eyes flew open. The room was dim, warm, and oddly familiar—but my heart raced as my thoughts

  • Bride Of The Lycan King   What’s Going On Inside

    Amber’s POV I could still hear the growl long after Mallory was gone. The animalistic warning sound rang in my ears like a bell, reminding me over and over again of the beast I was. How dangerous I could be if they let me. It did not matter that Mallory was choking someone I cared about. My mind blanked for a second. When did I start thinking about Yeti as someone I cared about? Both Yeti and Janine were staring at me. Something inside me had snapped because of Yeti, and I hated to think what I would have done if it were Janine in those shoes. I felt… different. I had no idea what had happened, but I knew something was changing within me. Not in a dramatic, world-shattering way, but still it unsettled me. It was as if someone had unlocked a door inside me that I had no idea was bottled shut. And something dangerous was slipping out. A slow, gnawing horror crept up my chest. My ears rang. My fingers curled into the sheets. An awful pressure built inside me, filling my insid

  • Bride Of The Lycan King   In the Shadows

    Amber’s POV Fire. Red. Hot. Everywhere. It slithered up the walls, eating through homes and people alike. Heat pulsed around me, mimicking my heartbeat. The air was thick and suffocating. Smoke wrapped around my throat like a noose. The screams were heart-wrenching. The hands appeared first, reaching for me. The screams became louder, more taunting. Someone was screaming someone’s name. My name? I glanced around, searching for the source of the screams and also for anything that was not fire. That was when I saw the little girl. I recognized her instantly. She had my golden eyes, and they were boring into me. Wisps of her hair—the same fiery red as mine—clung to her damp forehead. Why was she here? I needed to get her out of here. But before I could move, hands clamped down on my wrist. A jolt shot up my arm, and then I was falling—I woke with a scream, bolting upright in my bed. My breath came out in loud puffs, and despite the cold, frigid air, sweat clung to my skin. My

    Amber’s POV The library was quiet when we entered. It was the second time I was here, but I couldn’t get over the heavy silence that seemed to settle up on everything like a blanket. Yeti, on the other hand, looked more at ease than I felt. She bounced confidently through the towering and imposing shelves, looking at home in the books. She hummed thoughtfully, scanning the shelves before turning to flash me a grin. “I’ll look around for something easy. Don’t stray too far. ”I nodded absently, my gaze flickering over the row of books around me. I watched her move fluidly, scanning the books and moving on. I followed her example, glancing through the row of books until one of them caught my attention. It was a dark, slightly crooked, ancient book with years of wear and tear. I reached for the book; it was heavier than expected, and I frowned at the words that I couldn’t read. Flipping open the book randomly, my eyes skimmed over words that made no meaning to me. I turned aroun

    Dale’s POV Gregg was convinced the witch was hiding in the motel. We had been sitting for what felt like ages—only a few hours—and we saw no signs of life. The motel stank of cheap cigarettes, fear, and regrets. I wondered why she chose a place like this to hide—if she was even in there. From where i sat in the rental car Silas has gotten us after ditching our cars, I watched the windows. Checking for signs of life, of which ours seemed like the only ones out here. “She’s still in there,” Gregg murmured, hunching forward to peer over my shoulders. He glanced at me. “You know I’m right.” “Shut up.” Trent grumbled, eyes locked on the windows as well. I pressed my hands on my temple, heaving a sigh. “Have you been able to reach Janine?” I asked, glancing at Trent. He shook his head. “I think she blocked us out. All her numbers are taking me to voicemail. Have you tried Amber? ”My jaw tightened. “The same thing. The mate bond would have come in handy right now.

  • Bride Of The Lycan King   Investigating the Past

    Amber’s POV Janine still wasn’t talking to me. Jonah, her assistant, insisted she was busy, but maybe that was just an excuse? It's been two days, and I’ve seen no sign of her anywhere. Every morning, I hoped I’d see her at the dining table, but every morning, I was disappointed. Mallory, on the other hand, made it a point to stay out of my way—which was a good thing. I was grateful for Yeti too. Although I still wasn’t quite sure I could fully trust her, the fact that she was growing on me still remained. I kept the card, coming up with different reasons each day why I should not call the number. Today—as I did every other day—I picked up the card, turning it over and over in my hand, trying to come up with good enough reasons why I shouldn’t pick up my phone and dial the good lady’s number. The same as every other day, I couldn’t find any good reason, but I still returned the card to my nightstand and left the room. I was supposed to be meeting Yeti for our daily sessions

    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,

    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

    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

    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

  • Bride Of The Lycan King   Imprisoned

    Amber’s POV It’s been three days since we were thrown in this cell. Three long, crawling, stinking days. None of us were saying it out loud, but today was the day. The day of the execution. On the first day of our imprisonment, Janine had nearly bitten the bars off. She had banged, screamed, cursed, clawed, threatened, and kicked until her voice was hoarse and her knuckles bled. I stopped her when she started yanking at the meat with her teeth. Usually, she was the most controlled of all of us, but the more the days went by, the more she lost a little of that control. Yeti looked like she was faring better than the rest of us. She said nothing and ate very little when they finally brought our rations, giving up her food for Janine, who only knocked her plates away. After hearing the things Yeti kept from us about her mother, she had decided she couldn’t trust the girl. As for me, I had no idea what to do or think. I had tried several times to reach Alpha Dale through our bond, b

  • Bride Of The Lycan King   Criminals

    Amber’s POV Izzy and Fabian threw me unceremoniously into the damp cell. I was fast enough to catch myself as I stumbled onto the stone floors, but I couldn’t say the same for Janine, whose sharp cry echoed through the cell as her knees scraped the ground. She muttered under her breath, cursing at the guards and whoever may have offended her. Yeti rushed to her side, trying to help her up, but she brushed Yeti away, breezing to the bars only to catch the guards back as they left. “A bunch of ungrateful fools.” She cussed out. “I can’t believe they’ll betray Alpha Dale like this. What did that old man promise them? What could be more expensive than their loyalty to their Alpha? ”I glanced at Yeti, who had settled herself in the corner with her back pressed to the wall. It was obvious that this was not her first time experiencing something like this. I bit my bottom lip, wondering just what this girl went through in that godforsaken pack. Janine paced like a caged animal; each sto
