=-Amber’s POV=-“I bought your favorite cake earlier. I know you haven't eaten your favorite cake for a long time now. It’s in the refrigerator if you want it,” he said and for a moment I couldn’t stop staring into his eyes.“Why are you acting different, Dale?” I asked because he became unbelievably kind to me. He wasn’t like that in the past.“Don’t you like the cake?”“Of course, I like it. Thank you,” I replied in a low voice. “Are you crying?”“No,” I lied. “Besides, there’s no reason for me to cry.”“It's good then. Anyway, starting tonight, you should sleep in my bedroom. Next week you will be in Clayland, and in the meantime, you will be busy pleasing your husband in bed.”“And, what do you suggest?”“I suggest that you should always be close to me in the coming days, Amber.”While I listened to his words, I just reminded myself that I was dealing with an impossible man who seemed to be so confused. He wanted me, and yet, he set me up with a different man.“I hope the time wi
=-Amber’s POV=- It seemed I got lucky every day. Fate was with me in stopping the arranged marriage from happening. Yesterday, I overheard Dale’s conversation with Jacob and they were discussing a woman named Bethany.I wondered if Bethany is the current woman that graces the Alpha’s bed, but whoever was Bethany, I should be grateful to her. Because of how much trouble she caused for Alpha Jacob, my wedding to his brother kept on being postponed.Once again, I planned to run away from Dale’s mansion whenever he’s gone to help Jacob. My position in his household has become dangerous. I was obsessed with what he did to my body. It hurts to think about it but that’s what happened.Besides, despite the circumstance, I couldn’t stop myself from loving him Despite his indifference sometimes, I continued to crave his attention. Every day, I would be excited to see him come home. At four in the afternoon, I would sure to smell good because he would be home by five or six. Then, as soon as I
=-Dale’s POV=-Actually, I don’t know what’s happening to me anymore. I couldn’t stop thinking about Amber, and just the thought of her being married to another man was so painful to think about.One day, when he was trying to come up with a better decision regarding Amber, Jacob called that he was coming. Fortunately, the new maid has already arrived, so Amber didn’t have to prepare everything just like before.“You like him,” Jacob said, and he didn't give me a chance to say no.“Yes,” I admitted the truth.“Until now you still like her?” Jacob couldn't believe what I told him.“I cannot dictate my heart. I want her.”Jacob laughed at my funny response.“What's your plan?” he asked.“To tell you the truth, I do not know.”I shook my head when I couldn't stop thinking about the woman who cooked the best steak for me. I couldn’t stop thinking about the woman whose body was so soft underneath me.“Maybe you like her because of her skills in the kitchen,” Jacob tried to put some sense i
=-Amber’s POV=-For several days, I wanted to confront Dale about the words I heard when he made love to me. However, Alpha Jacob came and I didn’t have a chance. Then, he left home without telling me where he was going.I wanted to call him but I held myself, besides, there’s someone else at home whom I should take care of.The new maid, an omega like me, whose name was Melanie, was an opportunist woman. Melanie had a talent of provoking my anger. Yes, she was prettier than me, but it wasn’t enough to tempt Dale into sleeping with her.Knowing Dale, I realized that he was afraid of women, and sometimes, I wondered if I am the only woman who had the opportunity to grace his bed.Since it has been a habit to stroll in the garden every morning, I was surprised to see Melanie in the garden as well. The woman was in her finery while taking a rest on the swing.From where I was standing, I could see how pretty she was, but her beauty was only skin-deep. She was mean!“Hi, Amber! Are you he
=-Amber’s POV=-“Dale, what’s wrong with you?” I asked him because he acted differently. He seemed to be a different person from the Dale I used to interact with each day. “Wait, are you high on drugs?”“W-what? Drugs? I don’t do drugs, Amber,” he replied with a lot of conviction in his voice.“Then, what’s wrong with you? Look, I have known you for a long time, and you are not like this, Dale. Tell me who did this to you,” I asked while referring to the bruises on his jaw. “Let’s go inside for now. I will treat your wounds,” I told him, and he just nodded his head in agreement.“What about me?” Melanie asked.Actually, I have forgotten that she was sitting on the swing. My attention was focused on Dale, so I didn’t expect Melanie would stay here and eavesdrop on our conversation.“What about you, Melanie? If you have nothing to do, please prepare something to eat,” Dale ordered, and even if I didn’t hate Melanie that much, I was gloating when Dale intervened.“Yes, sir,” Melanie sai
=-Amber’s POV=-As I watched his muscles move, I still couldn’t believe that he owned up to his feelings earlier. He looked sincere so there’s no reason why I should continue to doubt him about it.I tried to close my eyes because watching him up close was more than enough to make me crazy. I wanted him…all of him, actually!When our eyes met for a moment, neither of us dared to look away. Then, he held my wrist tightly before grabbing my unclothed body to his nakedness.“D-Dale…,” I stuttered but that’s all he allowed me to speak before ravishing my lips.Then, he let me go after conquering my mouth passionately!At that moment, I wanted him to claim my body once again. I wanted him to hug me or kiss me again. I must be insane but that’s all I could think about at the moment, especially when he started to press his manhood into my skin.His strong hands were on my waist, and he kept on whispering naughty things into my ears. I gasped for air when he slowly caressed the skin on my bac
Dale’s POVI had no idea that owning up to my feelings would make me so happy. Whenever I looked at the woman who was snuggling close to me, I felt glad that I took the courage to rescue her from the rogues before.While staring into Amber’s face, I recalled the very first day when I met her, being attacked by several rogues, who wanted to taste her luscious and young body.***several years ago***I never thought I would find myself in this situation - arguing with my best friend, Jacob Summers, over a girl. However, that's exactly what was happening.We both had feelings for the same girl, and we didn't know how to handle it. At first, we tried to ignore the situation, hoping that it would go away. But as our feelings grew stronger, they became harder to ignore.One day, we finally had it out. We argued for hours, trying to convince each other that we were the right choice for the girl. It was an exhausting and emotional experience, and I wasn't sure if we would ever be able to get p
Dale’s POV=-events before Amber was pregnant=-Since then, I couldn't stop thinking about her - the girl I had rescued in the forest. Ever since that day, she had been on my mind constantly. I wanted to see her again, to make sure that she was okay, but her family left their home and transferred to another.I went back to the forest where I had first seen her, hoping to find her there. But she was nowhere to be found. I asked around, trying to see if anyone knew who she was, but no one could help me.Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months. I searched high and low, but I couldn't find her. I didn't even know her full name, so it was almost impossible to track her down.As time went on, I started to wonder if I had imagined the whole thing. Maybe I had seen someone else and my mind had played tricks on me. But deep down, I knew that wasn't true. I had seen her, and I had rescued her.It had been five years since I last saw her. The girl I had rescued in the woods was stil
Amber’s POVI was frightened when Tom became physical with me. He seemed so angry and I didn't know how to calm him down. I could feel his tense energy radiating off him like a wave.One morning, while I was preparing for his meal, he suddenly came into the kitchen and grabbed my wrist. Then, his grip on my arm tightened, making me wince in pain. He didn't say anything for a while, and I could feel his anger building up inside him.When he finally spoke, his voice was low and menacing. "You shouldn't have done that," he growled."I'm sorry," I whispered, hoping to calm him down. But it only seemed to make him angrier."I don't want to hear your apologies," he spat. "You know what you did, and you're going to pay for it!”Tears welled up in my eyes as I tried to pull away from him, but his grip on me was too strong. I knew I was in trouble, and I didn't know how to get out of it. Then, he dragged me through my hair, from the kitchen, up to the living room.Tom pushed me roughly inside
Amber’s POVTo my surprise, Bethany denied it and told me that she came to Clayland to work as per instruction by Jacob. As the conversation progressed, I began to see her as a friend rather than a spy. We exchanged stories and laughed about our common interests. I realized that I had misjudged her and was glad that I gave her a chance to explain herself.From that day on, Bethany became my confidant, and we spent time together whenever we could. She was kind, albeit, I could sense a little bit of stubbornness in the way she glowered her eyes toward Stefan whenever nobody was watching.Because of Bethany, Stefan did not bother me anymore. He totally shifted his interest to their beautiful maid. When learned that Bethany was closed to Dale, I decided to do something naughty by using Stefan. The art of flirting and seduction was not new to me as I was trained to seduce the Alpha.However, before Dale could learn about my naughty tricks with Stefan, Jacob learned first about Stefan’s in

The memories of Dale’s latest betrayal in his vacation house lingered in my mind, and I struggled to find solace in the familiar surroundings of my home.Despite my pain, I threw myself into decorating the residence, determined to create a space that was both beautiful and comforting even to someone like me. I spent long hours picking out furniture, choosing color schemes, and hanging artwork on the walls.While redecorating my home, I found the process of creating something new and beautiful was therapeutic. It gave me a sense of purpose and control, which I badly needed in the aftermath of Dale’s betrayal.Gradually, the residence began to transform into a space that was uniquely mine. The walls were painted in warm, inviting colors, and the furniture was arranged in a way that made the rooms feel cozy and inviting.With each passing day, I felt myself growing stronger and more confident.

As we walked through the front door, I couldn't help but admire the stunning views of the ocean.The house was beautiful, with large windows that let in plenty of natural light and a spacious living room that was perfect for relaxing. Dale showed me around, pointing out all the different rooms and amenities, and I couldn't help but feel grateful for his generosity.We spent our days lounging on the beach, soaking up the sun, and enjoying each other's company. It was nice to finally have some quality time together, away from the chaos of our daily lives.One evening, we sat on the balcony, watching the sunset over the ocean.

It was a tender moment, and I couldn't help but feel happy and content.While we were watching the sunset over the horizon, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pe
Amber’s POVI sat in our bedroom, tears streaming down my face, as I looked at the bruises on my arms. My husband, Tom, had lost his temper once again and taken it out on me. I had never felt so heartbroken and helpless in my entire life.I thought back to the day we got married, how happy and in love, he was with me. But now, it felt like a distant memory. Tom had changed over time, becoming more and more abusive, but then it was all my fault. If only, I did not try to think of Stefan as Dale, then there wouldn’t be a problem.Over and over again, I blamed myself for what happened to me, but then, I could not believe that Tom could become more violent. One day, when his mother came to visit, Tom forced me to appear sweet and happy, as if everything was fine in his household.To avoid more beating from my abusive husband, I did as I was told.

As I looked into the man’s eyes, I felt something stir inside me. He was tall, and handsome, with piercing blue eyes and a smile that made my heart almost skip a beat.We exchanged pleasantries, but as the wedding ceremony began, I couldn't help but steal glances at him. There was someth
Amber’s POVWhen I turned around, I saw Dale. He came with Jacob. They both looked at me apologetically but there was nothing they could do. She was a servant and under the direct supervision of Jacob’s Luna. Dale did not say anything but he probably heard about the miscarriage.I had been dreading this conversation with Dale for weeks. I knew that I had to tell him about the miscarriage, but I didn't know how he would react. But finally, the day came when we were alone together, and I knew that I had to tell him."Dale, I need to talk to you about something," I said, my voice shaking.He looked at me with concern. "What is it?""I...I lost the baby," I said, tears streaming down my face.For a moment, he didn't say anything. He just stared at me, his face a mask of shock and sadness. And then, finally, he spoke."I'm so sorry," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I didn't even know that it would result in this,” he said, his voice full of regret.He was kind and sympathetic,
Amber’s POVWhen he told me to leave his place, I wanted to cry and begged him to let me stay, but my pride stopped me from doing so. It was my pride that helped to remain standing that day because, at that moment, I really wanted to die.When he offered to take me back to Jacob’s home, I did not complain. I just let him take me back to Jacob’s place, to continue working as a maid. I felt so small when I arrived at the Alpha’s home.Still, I did not complain. I had to survive for the sake of my baby. I had to keep on living even if I am heartbroken because of Dale’s decision and indifference. He betrayed me. He promised me forever but he couldn’t keep it. In the end, he couldn’t keep up with his promise and discarded me like a hot potato.I knew from the moment I returned to the Alpha’s residence, that the Luna didn't like me. She would always give me a cold stare and make snide comments under her breath whenever she saw me.At first, I tried my best to ignore her. I knew that being a
Dale’s POVIt had been a whirlwind romance - we had fallen for each other quickly and passionately. I couldn't imagine my life without her, and I knew that she felt the same way.But then, something changed. It started small - little things that I used to find charming or endearing started to annoy me. And then, it grew into something bigger - I found myself feeling indifferent toward her, almost as if I didn't care anymore.I tried to ignore it, to push it away and focus on the good things. But the more I tried, the more my indifference grew.I didn't know what to do. How could I go from loving someone so deeply to feeling nothing at all?I tried to talk to her about it, but every time I tried, I found myself tongue-tied and unable to express myself. I didn't want to hurt her, but I knew that something had to change. And then, one day, it all came to a head. We were arguing about something trivial, and suddenly, I just snapped.“What’s wrong with you, Dale?” she asked in disbelief wh
