Amber
I barely felt present throughout breakfast. Cora asked her questions from her seat beside Ezra, and Cali seemed perfectly content to answer her, or maybe she just noticed how preoccupied I was.
‘What’s wrong?’ Roman’s voice echoed in my mind, and I looked up to see his warm eyes on mine.
‘Nothing.’
‘You’ve barely said two words since we came in. look, I get this isn’t exactly the romance of the century and I am far from being the ideal candidate but I’m trying here. It would help if you were in this with me.’ He stated an edge to his voice that I hadn’t heard before and I took a deep breath and focused on the people around me.
He was right of course. There had been zero romance involved in our mating. Considering he had literally been forced into this he was less than the most ideal candidate and yet he was the one sat smiling and laughing with our friend

AmberIt was pitch black by the time I returned to the pack house, laden down with medical supplies and my head swimming with more knowledge than I ever hoped to remember.The doc had been through, that was for sure, covering everything from stitches to punctured lungs. I was really hoping that I never had to deal with that one.And the supplies I carried were vast and plentiful, although the doc had made a point, on multiple occasions, to tell me that for most types of wounds, the best treatment was my own saliva. Which is just gross, but well, if it comes to that.It's just one of the things that comes with being mated, when biting each other our DNA mixes allowing us the ability to heal each other through our wolves. It wasn't commonly discussed, it was quite an intimate act, healing your mate.I shook off the thought, there was no point in worrying about it now. It may never come to that. I hope it never comes to

AmberIt was cold out and I wrapped my arms around myself as I stood with the crowd, listening to Michael explain the rules, both to the challengers and the spectators.There were more people here than I expected, somewhere close to forty if I had to guess. The crowd had been silent for almost the entire instruction until Michael started discussing how only a mate could provide assistance, but that mates were not allowed to enter the challenge zone, only the safe zone. Most of the next instructions were drowned out by the mutterings of the crowd."Well how is that fair, the beta doesn't have a mate.""I still think the beta will win. Have you actually seen him fight? His wolf's a beast.""I still can't believe Trent is doing this. I always thought he liked the leaders. He was certainly always respectful, and isn't his daughter a beta?""It’s about time someone took the beta down a peg or two. He needs to learn a le

RomanDespite my frantic dash towards the middle of the challenge zone, the first four hours of the challenge were mostly uneventful.Trent was better at steal and concealment than I remembered, he had even managed to completely mask his scent. Not something most wolves could do.I hadn't bothered masking mine. I had been all over the land since the bell sounded, mapping the terrain. There was a freshwater pond half a mile from my safe zone and another closer to Trent's safe zone which made sense. They weren't going to throw us into the woods with zero sustenance for an unplanned amount of time.Food on the other hand could be a problem. The middle of winter, with the ground frozen the bushes bare and the trees covered in a thin coating of frost wasn't the most prolific time to be hunting. Nature was taking its toll on me, and we were genetically designed for this unlike the animals that frequented these woods, and still I c

AmberI had made three trips to the safe zone over the last 2 days. Each one worse than the last. And it was just about killing me seeing Roman in such a state, knowing that it was my own father that had caused the damage.I had tried not to think too much on my dad’s injuries, my mum would patch him up fine and I knew Roman wouldn't go too far, wouldn't hurt him beyond repair. Besides, I couldn't help the anger that overwhelmed me anytime I thought about my parents.I still couldn't believe they had done this, that my own father had put me in this position.I had just settled in bed on the second night when Roman forced a link, I hadn't felt an attack and he didn't seem to be in pain, so my mind was clear and relaxed when I responded."Hey." I greeted. "You okay?""Yeah, just missing civilisation. Its fucking freezing out here and I hate eating as a wolf but it's too cold to shift.""You in the safe zone?"

RomanAmber and I sat on the freezing cold ground for close to ten minutes before her teeth started chattering so bad that I couldn't understand her.Once she had climbed back into her car I shifted and prepared to face the music, knowing full well that Trent had sat the entire time just outside of my safe zone, and had no doubt listened to whole conversation between us.I had barely taken two steps over the line when Trent's wolf emerged from behind the trees to my right and took a seat.I felt the link open up and accepted it with trepidation."Are you okay?" The man’s voice asked shakily."I'll live." I responded and took the opportunity to stretch out my newly healed side.I heard Trent's sigh through the link and gave him my full attention once more."I can't say I'm happy about this Roman. It’s certainly not the life I ever wanted for my daughter. She deserves a mate that will love her back an

AmberThe next few days passed in a blur as Cali and Tristan left on their belated honeymoon and Roman and I took over the primary duties of the pack. I had been working with Cali for weeks and yet I never realised just how much she did on a daily basis.Damian and Frey left on a hunt that I knew nothing about, and quite honestly, I didn’t have the time to find out. The work just kept coming, one problem after another and I vowed that I would support my Luna more with the workload when they returned. There was no need for her to shoulder all of this when I was here to help.And thanks to Romans insistence I would be here, apparently, I didn’t have a choice in it. I gritted my teeth as the familiar anger surfaced at that thought.I had planned on permanently moving into the pack house anyway, what with a baby on the way, the tension between my parents and the fact that I was now mated to the beta, well it would be silly not to, but I hated that he hadn’t bothered to ask, he had ordered

AmberI sat with gritted teeth on the edge of the bed as Roman cleaned up the cuts on my side. Slower healing was a disadvantage of being pregnant. So much of my wolfs power was focused on protecting the baby, that I lost some of that ability.“What’s going on Roman?” I asked, wringing my hands as I tried to sort through the emotions that were flitting through the two of us.If I was honest with myself, I was terrified, I thought I had come to terms with what my mate told me about his lack of control, but I don’t think I really understood the implications, I certainly never expected to see his wolfs anger turn on me. I knew Roman could feel my fear, he winced every time I thought about it, bringing the feeling to the forefront of my mind.“I’m so sorry.” His whispered apology was filled with gut and shame, it wasn’t the first time he had uttered the words since he shifted in the woods.“I don’t need an apology. I’m okay, I’ll heal. But I do need to know what’s going on. Why did this h

RomanThis girl was either the best thing that had happened to me, or she would be my downfall. Fuck that was intense. It was bizarre really, I had screwed so many women over the years, she wolves and humans alike, and yet she was the best sex I had ever had. The blushing virgin, the sweet innocent school teacher was the one that tied me up in knots.I shook my head as I leant back against the bed wrapping my arms around her and tangling my fingers in her hair. When her legs gave way she took us both to the floor, and I was still trying to catch my breath after my own orgasm.I watched as Ambers eyes fluttered, practically asleep she snuggled into my chest and I relaxed back, ignoring the cold floor against my naked ass. I never would have guessed that the sweet girl would like a bit of rough sex from time to time. When the fantasies flashed through her mind earlier it sent me reeling, hell I was still shocked. She was the good girl the innocent to my bad the sweet to my rough, she wa
