Hybrid Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 14 : A Long Road Ahead
We rode in silence as I kept my head rested on the window pane looking out at the passing landscape. The space between the prince and I was suffocating and I wished to open the window but didn't have the courage to act like this was my right to do so. The prince already got me out of Sablestone and away from the queen, something I was already thankful for. But, that didn't mean I was comfortable with him in the slightest. No, the exact contrary. More than ever I was terrified of what he might say to me regarding the drugged tea or even worse, my identity. He seemed to be avoiding the two topics and I didn't want to make any sudden movement that could spark the conversation.With only the chauffeur in the front who seemed to be used to driving in silence, it made me reluctant to do anything to break the man's focus either. However, there was something I wanted to say to Prince Leonardo before we got to the new territory. After mulling over the words a thousand tim

**Amber POVThe new territory, newly renamed Torflora, was settled along the base of a section of rolling green hills. Stretched in between the hills were huge fields of tall grasses and wildflowers which had begun to bloom. I was surprised by the sheer variety of flowers that had bloomed there, but then again I had never been away from the Sablestone capital. There was a lot of the world I hadn't seen, but this opportunity to be outside of the capital promised new experiences. I just hoped that the prince wouldn't restrict my freedom here.Already I was grateful for the fresh air and the change of scenery. Sablestone was clean and green, but I'd never seen such a beautiful area full of rich golden grass and so many red poppies. "It's beautiful," I murmured.The driver rolled up a newly paved driveway, which led to the top of a hill. The vehicle stopped at a tall iron gate where we had to be buzzed in. What I presumed to be our new home sat at the cente

"Hey! Get away from her!" a man yelled from down the alley. I peeked desperately in the direction of the voice and saw a rather tall man outfitted in black jeans and a black t-shirt headed in my direction. He was darting towards us, his dark eyes zeroed in on my face. As he approached, his eyes looked virulent and I couldn't help but think he was part of this group of gangsters.The three men who'd attacked me looked at each other and ran off down the alley. They must have decided I wasn't worth the hassle, or because this man's eyes looked too dangerous.My throat burned and my nose stung after breathing so intensely. My stomach was knotted so tight it pained me to stand. With my hand clutching my stomach, I slid down against the stone wall to sit. The big man's clunky footsteps stopped just a few feet away from me. He was wearing steel-toed boots and looked like he was ready for combat. I cowered into a tight cocoon hoping desperately he didn't have any

I approached Prince Leonardo cautiously like I was nearing an injured wild animal. "I told you to go," he said in a rough voice. I gulped down my anxiety and went up to him to look closer at his wounds. Some of them were pretty deep, and there was even a bite mark on his neck and a slash high on his ribcage. "Let me help," I offered, taking the rag from his hand. He clenched it tightly, not letting me have it. He glared up at me and I could see the muscles in his jaw flexed tightly. "Prince Leonardo, let me help you," I reassured, firm but gentle. After an irritated sigh, he released the wet rag into my hands. I didn't know where to start and I didn't want to hurt him.I glanced up at his face to try and gauge what he was thinking but he wouldn't look at me. His eyes were pointed at the ceiling and his lips were now sealed shut.The bowl of sterilized water was warm but already turning pink from the blood. I rinsed off the rag and dabbed it

**Leonardo POVShe was tantalizing, but I couldn't trust her. Not after what she did to me. But at the same time, I needed more of her.I wanted to taste her. So I gave her a second chance to change my mind.With my hand on her slim neck, I could feel her pulse beating rapidly. Her skin was soft and dewy with anxious sweat. She quivered underneath my fingertips like a rabbit under a wolf's paw.I scanned her face. She wasn't wearing makeup and didn't need to either. She couldn't hide who she really was merely with pens and brushes. I knew who she was and who she wasn't.Her sapphire eyes were wide with angst, but she wasn't pulling away from me. Her soft hands ran up my chest. Did she really think I was going to choke her to death?Maybe I was being too aggressive, but that's just who I was.Her arms kept tracing my skin.I loosened my grip slightly to see what she would do with the extra freedom.Then, she spoke. "I

**Amber POVI'd been a maid nearly my whole life. I'd taken care of others; that was my duty. But, I didn't know how to take care of him.After that embarrassing night, I wasn't able to look at the prince again. Really, a nose bleed at that moment?!I couldn't have let him see me so pathetic, so I ran off before the blood had flowed. Yes, I was scared. I'd never experienced another man inside of me before. But, after being the simple maid–the 'good girl'– my entire life, I wanted to get a little taste of a darker side.But, my body abandoned me. I guess I wasn't ready. And maybe, I'm still not.It had been three days since we last saw each other and I didn't care. Or so I thought.Now, by day three, the loneliness was catching up to me.Whether or not it was because he wasn't with me, I didn't know, but every time I thought of him, my body reacted excitedly.To be touched so decisively, to be held so firmly, to feel protected, it was

After a few awkward glances, we all went our different ways. I found a maid who was able to envelope and mail my letter and then I returned back to my room to get my thoughts in order.But, I was interrupted by a knock on my door."Come in!" I beckoned.In came Maia, in a cute little white spaghetti strap dress that flowed to her knees. She had a youthful glow to her.She bowed. "Hi, Your Highness! I hope I'm not interfering with your plans....""Absolutely not, Maia. I'd welcome your company," I assured. Normally I wouldn't mind, but right now I just wanted to be left alone. However, I didn't have the cold heart to hurt her feelings."That's great because I was wondering if you wanted to go shopping for tonight's dinner party!" Maia's eyes were wide open as if expecting a definite 'yes,' but I wasn't so sure about going into town again after what happened last time."I'm sorry, Maia. I'd rather not go out today." Her expression dampened at my decisio

"Your Highness, you wouldn't mind if I had a seat next to my old friend, would you?"Yes, yes I would mind, I thought to myself."Sure, Cami, go right ahead." As much as I wanted to say no, I also didn't want to create any problems. Nor did I want to let the prince know I cared who sat next to him or not."You're such a doll, your Highness." Cami's tone was full of condescension and her patronizing gaze was even worse. Her over-the-top smoky eye shadow looked like it was trying to burn me.I pursed my lips together and continued down towards the only other empty seat at the long, glass dining table. It was next to Prince August. The man I thought I would be marrying. I was now situated next to Cami and Prince August, who was at the head of the table, but the chairs were so far apart it felt like there was an ocean of distance between us.As I approached my new seat, Prince August quickly rose and pulled back the chair so I could sit. "Thank you, your High

Hybrid Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 53 : Epilogue
**Amber's POVI watched Leo training in our newly landscaped garden. We'd purchased a nice estate in the Redrime countryside adjacent to the lake and it was so nice spending time in the peace and quiet of our own property. He'd put a punching bag up in a huge oak tree. I smiled, wrapping my arms around my barely swollen belly. It was so hot out, and pregnancy hormones weren't helping, so most days I just wore a flowing skirt and an oversized t-shirt.I'd told Leo, once the baby was born, that punching bag would have to be replaced with a tire swing. "Hey, you two! I'm ready!" Maia shouted out the back door. I cringed slightly at her shrill voice. The house was supposed to be for Leo, me, and the baby but Maia didn't want to go back to her father or August. I mean, I couldn't exactly blame her for that. I wouldn't want to go back either. It was hard finding privacy with her always hanging around. Not that I minded too much. It was nice to have a "little sister" by my sid
Hybrid Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 52 : Lay By My Side Forever
**Amber's POVLeo checked us all in at a hotel across the Redrime border and luckily there weren't any roadblocks, figuratively or literally, along the way. We had cleaned ourselves up at a rest stop during our travels to look presentable in the case we were stopped, but we never were.Leo had caught up to us a few miles outside the compound, and at that point Leo decided that we ditch the Porsche and rented a large SUV that we could all fit in. Leo wasn't bothered by losing his personal car in the process if it meant we'd all be safe.I was beyond relieved that he was alive and had found us, and thankfully our mate bond helped keep me abreast regarding his condition the whole time. The point I worried most was when it seemed he would have killed August had I not reached out to stop him from losing control.Placing my hand on my stomach, I realized that it wasn't just me that needed Leo anymore. Our future child did too.I sat down on the edge of one of the beds in our hot
Hybrid Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 51 : Who's the Real Black-Hearted Prince?
**Leonardo POVDylan informed me via mindlink that Amber and Maia were safe. His message relieved the angst that was coursing through me. Now, it was just between me and my pathetic half brother."I thought you wanted to kill me. Here's your chance," I taunted, pointing around to show there was no one in his way.August licked his lips. "Ready when you are," he announced and shifted. I hadn't seen his all white wolf form in years since he never had the need to fight. I followed suit and shifted. Immediately, like the cocky a*shole he was, he jumped forward and tried to slice at my snout. He failed miserably. I stood firmly in place and swiped at his abdomen, deciding to take it easy on him for the time being.August reeled back, his paws sliding around on the hardwood floor. He was unable to gain sure footing, but I waited for him to come to me. All his talk about how he'd kill me the moment I refused to hand over Amber, and now that he had the chance, he couldn't do i
Hybrid Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 50 : Fighting For Amber
**Leonardo POVI looked outside of the window again, not seeing one of my soldiers in sight. We had been completely overrun in the surprise attack. Now, the most I could hope for now was to give Amber and Maia enough time to get far away from the compound.The howls from battle seemed to die down and the whole atmosphere became eerily quiet. I looked over at Dylan who shook his head at me. He didn't know what to expect either.Then, suddenly, a door at the end of the hall burst open and August waltzed in with a smug smile plastered across his face as he walked towards us. I noticed that he didn't have a spec of blood on him. No wounds, no tears in his clothes. I doubted he'd done any of the fighting up until this point. He always left the dirty work for someone else."Is this what you imagined for your wedding night?" August asked snidely, confirming my suspicions about his plans to interrupt it all along. I glared back at him without responding. I was sick and tired of that
Hybrid Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 49 : We're Under Attack
**Leonardo POVI told him once before, if he wanted Amber, it would be over my dead body. "How many wolves does he have with him?" I asked Dylan."Uh… his whole army, it seems," Dylan informed, still panting to catch his breath. He took a seat in a chair beside the bed to regain his energy.As if it was planned, the night exploded with harsh howls in the near distance as my brother's wolves closed in on the compound. "F*ck him," I spat. I knew about my father's plan to throw me out of the pack, but I didn't expect to be expelled with hostility. I had no interest in staying around my father or brother anymore. It didn't need to come to this, but it seemed like my brother wanted to ruin me, take Amber, and cause as much destruction as possible. People said I was the bloodhound, but I guess they never met him."Leo, it's not good. Most of the Torflora soldiers are already down. August snuck up, took us by surprise," Dylan reported. "We have to get out of here," I order
Hybrid Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 48 : You'll Never Meet Your Child, Leo
**Leonardo POV"Gone, what do you mean gone!?" I shouted into the phone. "I mean… I don't know. I took her clothes into the bathroom while I thought she was getting in bed, and then when I returned she wasn't there anymore. She left the door open. I looked quickly around the compound, but I couldn't find her," Maia reported. "I'm sorry, Leo. I said I would keep an eye on her." I heard Maia whimpering on the other end. I wasn't going to blame Maia for losing track of Amber. I handed her off to my little sister and that decision was mine and mine only. "I'm going to find her. You alert security, discreetly. I don't want to scare her," I ordered."Leo, what is going on?" Maia asked with a concerned tone. "That's not for you to know," I answered coolly. Maia argued, "Why not? She's my sister now too!" "Just do it! We don't have time!" I barked, breathing heavily.She hung up quickly, as it seemed my message got across clear.I sighed and launched off my bed, teari
Hybrid Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 47 : Leo, She's Gone
**Leonardo POVI was walking down the hall when Amber's bedroom door burst open and she ran out into the hall, sobbing and retching. I jumped back to avoid getting hit by her swinging door. She slumped against the nearest wall, tears smearing what was left of her gorgeous wedding makeup. Seeing her so distraught, I couldn't stay mad at her. Not at that moment. "Amber, what's wrong?" I asked. I went to her. I raised a hand, reaching for her, then quickly dropped it. "She killed her. She killed my sister," Amber sobbed. Her legs gave out and she slid to the floor, sobbing into her hands. In my chest, my heart split. I could feel her sadness through the mate bond. I gripped my own chest, heart heavy as an anvil, threatening to break my ribs. I should have been mad at her. I should have been furious. She'd been willing to poison me at the Luna Queen's request. And it wasn't the first time. There was a part of me that would never get over that betrayal. But I also knew e
Hybrid Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 46 : With Life, Comes Death
** Amber's POVI stared at Leo as he raged, his eyes turning molten gold and glowing brightly as he stared at me. "This is why I don't give second chances! People never change!""I saw you change for me, Leo!" I interjected. I grabbed for him again but he snarled and pulled away."Yes, a big mistake! I got weak for you," he hissed. I jumped to my feet and grabbed his arm. He pulled away from me and made for the door. "Wait! Please wait, Leo!" I yelled, running after him. I was begging, as pathetic as it was, but I needed his help. He kept his pace."Leo stop!" I never screamed as loud as I did just then.It caused Leo to halt in place.Now, I had his attention, and only one chance to change his mind. "You need my blood," I declared. "If you leave, you'll never have it again."He growled."You can use me like I've used you. You can have my blood forever. All I ask is that you help me get my sister back." I wasn't in a place to make demands, but I also knew I had something special to
Hybrid Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 45 : I Want Leonardo Dead
**Amber's POVI watched Leo toasting with Maia and Dylan at the reception. My lips still burned with how fiercely Leo had kissed me during the ceremony. It was unexpected and my mind was still in a bit of a haze. I was married! I mean, I knew it was to save my sister and help bring peace on the continent, but I was still married. That was a forever commitment. I was surprised Leo actually came around to the point he wanted to take me as his bride.Leo's eyes found mine from across the large tent, as I was hovering by myself off to the side. I looked away quickly, hiding my eyes. My cheeks heated as I turned away and I grabbed a glass of sparkling water trying to blend in. Why did I think that would work? I was his bride! I didn't know why I was acting all shy all of a sudden with my…husband.Truthfully, I couldn't even believe I was saying that.Part of me knew that tonight, we'd consummate our marriage, and that caused my stomach to flutter violently. Yes, we'd made l
