Chapter 32Alpha Jason had actually cleared the hallways for me and although I was impressed I was still a bit unsettled. How could I be sure that no one could see me right now, dressed in this beautiful outfit instead of my ugly maid garb and following the Alpha out of the palace. Somewhere, deep down I had a feeling that immediately I come back it would be war between me and the rest of the palace and my worries probably showed on my face because as soon as we were seated in the car, Alpha Jason turned to me,“Is anything wrong? Do you not want to go? You don’t seem very happy.” He noted and I shook my head.“No, it’s just that… I was wondering… Isn’t Erica more suited to follow you for this trip? As your mistress, I mean…”Alpha Jason leaned back into his sit and I fear that I may have succeeded in annoying him. I really had I confirmed when I noticed his fingers clench and unclench. I swallowed.“The fact that you omitted ‘her highness’ from her name this time shows that you alre
Chapter 33As though unable to bring herself to drop the baby, Amber still held her, a peaceful smile spread across her face as she kept rocking the baby even after she had fallen asleep, humming what had to be a lullaby to her. Needing to talk to my friend alone though, I asked Amber to wait for me I the car. It was going to be dark soon and it was a talk that needed to happen. If we wanted to get back to the palace in time to greet my parents, it had to happen now.Reluctantly, Amber dropped the baby back into the cot, even gentler than when she had lifted her earlier before leaving. I hoped she’d remember the way which we had come through and not get lost. We sat in the nursery, Marcus and I, baby Evie sleeping in her cot just a few feet from us while her father sat folded himself forward in his chair, his face resting in his palms.“Did you name her?” I asked. With the way he shied away from the baby, I had actually expected her to not be named yet.“We both did, Emily and I. Evie
Chapter 34It had been surprising when I came to pick up the Alpha's dinner yesterday and Stella asked no questions whatsoever about why she had not seen me for the entire day and where I had been but I should've known not to relax. I should've known to prepare myself to be bombarded today because knowing, Stella, she wouldn't let me rest until she unearths every single information that she needed from me...as long as it had to do with my work at the palace at least.As for my personal information, I know there we're things she was dying to know but she tried her best to let me have my privacy and I appreciated that. "You're just going to stare at me and not say anything?"I tried a smile but she didn't return it, "Why does it matter, huh?""Why does...?" Stella scoffed, "Can you believe this girl?" She said, briefly raising her hands up in the air like she was talking to it. "You have a duty I'm this palace and I'm basically your supervisor. Besides, you're always here when you're n
apter 35Maybe this was some kind of punishment. Tsk! Even 100 whips sounded better than having men holding the two highest positions in a pack lie to you because they think you’re a gullible maid. I feel so insulted! I wouldn’t have mind if Lucas turned out to be my mate. He was nice and caring. Well until I realized that the whole thing might really just be a game. I mean, the beta of a pack in which I worked as a servant was interested in me? I scoffed out loud, how stupid I’ve been. It would be easy to understand if he had known my past but I was certain that he didn’t.Then the Alpha comes to my room in the middle of the night and claims that I am his mate? I sighed. These boys have way too much time on their hand. Like I would believe someone like him was my mate. Apart from the jarring fact that I could feel no connection whatsoever from the mate bond that should exist if he was really my mate, why would I even want a mate with the kind of mood swings he gets?Why was I sent a
Chapter 36I had never been so happy to have woken up really early as today because I came out of my room to see a humongous bouquet of flowers just chilling right in front of my door. I spent a couple of seconds staring at it like it was a bomb ready to explode before I heard another door start to open so I quickly carried it inside with me and shut the door. Wasn’t trying to feed that gossip mill.Finding the tag attached to it, I turned on the light so I could read what was written on it.Morning, beautiful.Don’t mind me, jut doing what I can to ease your thinking.I chuckled disbelievingly. What? Alpha Jason appears to have tired of his facade. Or didn’t Lucas get the memo? I shook my head. How stupid and naive they must think I am. I stared at the flowers. They should be romantic, they were even some of my favorites but now it just looked like an insult to me. Deciding to just leave it on the floor-since the bed was the only furniture in my room-and let nature decide what happe
chapter 37I nibbled on the pancakes so generously gifted to me as I worked my ass out in the Alpha’s closet. He was a considerably neat person so why did this look like two toddlers with sugar rushed had played in here today? Was he purposely trying to burn me out? I wasn’t well acquainted with the arrangement of his closet but since I’d rather not have to ask him anything, I decided to deal with it myself. First, I folded all the trousers and put them on one stool, then all the casual shirts on another stool and…why does he even have so many stools. I hanged everything I deemed fit to be hanged and pushed all then shoes I deemed were fit to cleaned one corner before going ahead to arrange the rest of his humongous piles of shoes on the shoe rack. I don’t think he had any need for three-quarters of the shoes he had here. In fact, I could bet there were a ton of them that had never smelt his feet. Speaking of smell, I was about to drown in whatever body wash it was that Alpha Jason
Chapter 38Alpha Jason snapped his fingers, “You’re right.” He said in sort of light bulb turning on moment even though I couldn’t think of what he could possibly be validating, “If I want to keep you busy, it shouldn’t be with such tasks. I can tell you’re intelligent. With the kind of life you had growing up, I’m sure you received the best education.”I raised a brow, “What does that have to do with anything? Want to sell me to another pack for my brains?”He rolled his eyes, massaging his temples after giving me a ‘why do you have to be so stupid?’ look, “You’re so extra for no reason.” He said simply. “You can be my personal assistant or something. Do some paperwork, write correspondence… What do you think?”I shrugged, “I know it doesn’t really matter what I think. I’m your servant and you’re my master, my work is to do whatever you tell me to do.”Alpha Jason squeezed his eyes shut as though frustrated, “I do care what you think, Amber.” He said in an equally frustrated voice. “
Chapter 39After the lunch I hat to take our plates back to the kitchen. The food was delicious and when my stubborness wore out, I allowed myself to enjoy it to the fullest. I just wish I would be able to boast of such cooking skills one day. The Alpha must have forgotten about his ban on knives for me so I could resume my cooking lessons with Stella.Speaking of Stella, she stared at the plates in my hands with a frowm but said nothing. She had to have known I ate the first lunch she prepared for the Alpha. Was she angry? If anything, she looked worried and I wondered why. Until I left the kitchen. It was like the entire staff of the palace had come to watch a spectacle. The spectacle I learned in just a couple seconds that was me. Everyone was staring a me. Everyone was pointing fingers and whispering. Although I had half expected it, it didn’t make it any easy to face. They were saying all manner of things. Some information they had no business knowing, they were spewing from the
Chapter 89Season FinaleAmber's POVI was a bit surprised that Mariah could heal wounds yet she was infected by a disease. It was quite hard to believe it but I knew that there was something more to her power than any normal power I've ever seen.We got outside the hospital only to be surrounded by Jacob and his men, at first I didn't even see Jacob but I needed no soothsayer to tell me that these men standing with arrows were Jacob's men.They took Jason yet again and eloped, as they were about to leave, one of the archers shot an arrow straight at me, the shock made me unconscious but I remembered vividly feeling a big hole in my right arm.I opened my eyes to Ian sitting by my side, he was there for me when no one was there. Sticking to me like we were more than brothers, Ian truly showed me the love and care I deserved I a position as this, evening came upon us, Ian was asleep, sleeping like a dove. He used an antidote for the White poison, it was also an incense, I wondered wher
chapter 88Amber's POVGetting a room in the hospital was quite hard but I got it anyways, I was placed in Room 402. The fifth floor, I was lucky I got know that the elevator could take me there, I wanted using the stairs before now."Which floor are you going to ma'am?" The waitress asked as she joined me in the elevator."The fifth, Room 402 to be precise" I uttered, hoping that she would know the room since she was a worker in here."Well let me show you to your room" She conceded to my words, so thrilling."Ok then" I uttered as we got out of the elevator.I was shocked when I kept my eyes, staring at Bellamy who walked past me, I felt like taking the waitress knife and slitting her throat with it but that would get me arrested and jailed for life."Hey, get off my way before I do it myself"Bellamy uttered as she pushed me aside with her shoulders.What was Bellamy sound in the hospital at this point in time?"Here's your room ma'am" She uttered in a mild tone."Thank you so much
Chapter 87Alpha Jason's POVI looked to the back of the person, I realized that she was a young lady, about thirteen years, she looked mature but when I stared at her fingers I knew that she was still very young in age."You can't trust her, she might be leading you into a trap" my wolf grunted."Don't you dare make such conclusions" I retorted knowing that I needed any and every means to find Amber."Fine" He didn't further his manner of trying to convince me."How can you help me find her?" I uttered as I walked up to her."I know where she is" I was surprised that she was bold yet very young."What's her name?" I asked in a mild tone, wondering if she knew who I was looking for in the first place."Amber Williams, her name is Amber Williams and I can take you to her" She uttered, making me scared.Mayne She's one Amber's relatives."Fine take me to her" I uttered."You have to agree to my conditions" She retorted."Which is?" I inquired, what more could a young girl like her ask i
Chapter 86Amber's POV"I'm going to get the money for my treatment and you're going to drive me there cause you're my protection" I uttered knowing how Elliot cared about me so much, he would be interested in doing whatever it is that would make me healthy again."Yeah it's risky, why don't the guards accompany us?" He uttered, allowing the guards to come with me would make Elliot discover that I've been lying the whole time."I'm a poor lady, I don't have money to create a convoy pass" I explained to him as he got closer to me."Ok fine, let's go, it's going to be sunny today" He agreed to my words but added his own findings. I knew he loved nature so his judgements were true."Yeah that's right, Elliot's a busy man too" I uttered knowing that Elliot's a busy man and it would only be a miracle if I get to meet him before he leaves for work.He helped me to the car, being my aid and protection, I couldn't ask for anything more than Ian."Remember you have a mate" My wolf never forget
85Alpha Jason's POVStaring at the look on his face I knew that he was definitely going to make me pay for all what my father did to him."What brings you to my land Jason?""I'm only asking for permission to pass through your lands and follow the paws that's guiding me""What paws? Your father's childlike paws" Everyone laughed at his jokes, he was making fun of my father, he had small paws even when he was old, it was a syndrome and I'm lucky I wasn't infected with it at child birth."It was a syndrome and you knew it, why would you make fun of him now that he's dead, you won't even have the balls to do so if he was alive" I retorted in a mild tone."Don't you ever speak to me in that manner, remember you're in my territory young boy" he wrapped his hands around my throat and choked me a bit cause I was finding it hard to breathe to some point."I'm sorry Alpha Rome" i apologized in a mild tone."You better be , I guess we got off on the wrong foot, why don't you join me for dinne
84Amber's POVI just lost my child to the trauma and brutality of Bellamy, staring into the skies, I couldn't hide the tears that rolled my eyes, I knew that at this point that Alpha Jason had abandoned me but I wanted to be calm and understand the whole issue cause I knew that Alpha Jason's disappearance would only mean that he's dead or he fled for his life."Ian how did you manage to get me out of Bellamy's clutches?""Well I didn't really do anything, the men followed my instructions and succeeded with it, which is the main reason why you're alive, they did their jobs well although we lost some valiant men but it was all worth it""I didn't really see the stains of blood and couldn't even hear the sounds of war actions, it seemed like they were waiting for you to come and carry me""You're weak, hence your mind is giving you a lot of thoughts. Why don't you sit and relax and have a sumptuous meal that I prepared with my hands""Ok fine" I uttered, knowing that his words were righ
Chapter 83Alpha Jason's POV"He needs to take away all the wolfsbane in my body and I don't know what to do now since you did this to me" I shoved a dead glare at Jacob who seemed to be mocking me with a smile on his face."I need his blood, so don't you waste a drop out of it" He had his hands, wrapped around the back of the doctor's neck, which made the doctor scared and a bit worried that things might go wrong if he's not stable."Ok sir" He groaned as Jacob left his fingers claws the sides, his fingers had dug deep into his flesh."This is disgusting, let's leave" Jacob stormed out of the room, wondering what he had in mind, he needed my blood in order to save his daughter. I wouldn't blame him but he should have asked him, I would have thought of a better way to handle it since he was like a brother to me, I guess his daughter's condition turned him into the monster he is."Doctor please do this quickly, the pains are getting more wilder and more coarse" "Let me take of you, so
Chapter 82Alpha Jason's POVI was running, having my eyes fixed in jacob, I knew that there was nothing that would stop me from achieving my goal and that's to have Jacob's head on a Silver platter, he has caused havoc in this land and his aura needs to be vanquished."Jacob ! Your end is now, you would stop causing havoc and you would have your men release my luna and this would serve as a warning to those who would try to be smart like Jacob, you would end up just like him"I growled."What makes you think that I'm scared of you? You're a pathetic weakling that has found it's way into my trap and surely you would be serving as an example to all those who would ever think if betraying the one true Alpha" I couldn't wait for him to finish his words, I pounced on him, gasped as three arrows pierced through my skin, I broke the right pillars of the other building. I rolled out as the building collapsed close to me.I stared into the balcony, staring at Bellamy with a bow and arrow, I ne
Chapter 80Jason's POVI sat at the dinner table of Amber's grandmother's house clutching a cup of tea to my chest. The smell of the tea was slightly purgent but It was a necessary evil I had to tolerate it if I wanted to recover fast. I was doing my hardest to stay in the present. Flashes of my men getting slaughtered before my very eyes ambushed my vision. It had been like this for the last couple of days; unable to sleep, unable to eat. How could I ?I was a failure,.I had failed my men. I had led them into their demise. They had followed me trusting I could protect them but here I was hiding like the coward I had become. I had lost to a disgusting vagabond like Caleb and It took everything in me to not howl out in frustration. I needed to go rescue my Luna soon. I wince at the shot of sharp pain that spread across my ribs cage suddenly. Even though Sharoon had healed me, I still felt some residue of pain in my body. I knew I needed to rest but how could I sleep when my Luna was st
