Hybrid Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 28 : What About the Luna Queen?
**Amber POVWhile Nurse Reina was wrapping my arm in a long stream of gauze, Dylan came bursting through the door. His wide and panicked eyes landed on me and he let out a frustrated sigh, which I could tell was actually relief. "Where the hell did you go?" he yelled at me. I flinched, not expecting such anger from him. He rubbed his face vigorously with his hands and sighed. "Sorry, your Highness," he apologized, a bit calmer now. "You just freaked me out. I've been looking for you for the past two hours since Jean came back saying he lost you at a rest stop!" Dylan approached, pulling up a chair beside me and taking a close seat. He leaned towards me, grading my injury. "Don't punish Jean. It was my fault. Everyone has been suffocating me here and I needed to clear my head and talk to Prince Leonardo alone.""And did you do any talking?" Dylan asked as he raised one of his eyebrows."No," I admitted, feeling foolish. "But, I found him and

Although my body was shuddering with anxious anticipation, deep down I was ready to tell Prince Leonardo everything. He was glaring into my eyes with ferocity, yet I knew from spending the little time I had around him that I could trust him.I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. "I'm not… Princess Iris…" I muttered. Nothing. Silence. All I could hear was the steady panic pounding in my chest. I peeped through the thin slit of my eyes to find that Prince Leonardo was still glaring at me, his expression unchanged. He didn't look the least bit surprised.Did he not hear me? Did he not understand what I meant?I cleared my throat and repeated myself a bit more clearly. "I'm not Princess Iris.""I know," Prince Leonardo bit at me. "I've known for a long time." My heart thumped and dropped. Goddess, how did I not notice?"You… knew this whole time?" I asked in disbelief. "How?"He crossed his arms over his chest, looking m
Last Updated : 2022-11-24Hybrid Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 30 : Knockout Punch
Leo kept his distance from me for the next couple of days. I wondered if it was as painful for him as it was for me. Now that our mate bond had been awakened and so had my wolf, I was in near agony being away from him and not knowing how he felt about me or what he planned to do with me.We'd left off on such a sour note that I truly didn't know how to process any of what had happened, nor the intimate moments we had shared before the mate bond existed. Had that been lust, desire, or was the mate bond actually there the whole time working in the background?Despite my uncertainty about love, I had to do something about my strength. Specifically, defending myself. Getting attacked by that red-eyed wolf awakened me to the dangers that lurked around me.Since Leo had remained cold and distant, I approached Dylan for help. Thankfully, he was more than willing and we started right away."So what made you want to start training? Was it because you got lost in the woods? Y

**Amber POVAfter what had happened between August and Leo, the whole compound was shrouded in an air of tension and discomfort.I continued training with Dylan for the next few days, but it was probably a bad idea, because my mind kept wandering and he landed several punches on me when they should have been easily avoidable."You okay, your Highness?" Dylan asked, wiping his sweaty forehead with his sleeve. "Yeah, why?" I feigned ignorance."It isn't too hard to tell you're…distracted," he pressed. Dylan took a step closer to me and unwound the tape around my boxing gloves. My expression darkened and Dylan picked up my chin so I would meet his gaze. "C'mon, your Highness. Something happened between you and Alpha, right?""He told you, didn't he?" I asked, wondering if Dylan knew what I had said. I dropped my gloves onto the ground."You know the prince doesn't talk," Dylan reminded me."Such an astute observation," I spat sarcastically.

**Amber POVThe weight of the men on top of me was suffocating. Jeremiah was straddling me, one hand over my mouth and the other groping at the hem of my pants. The others were pinning down each of my limbs, completely immobilizing me.I felt like there was nothing I could do. I couldn't scream. I couldn't move my arms or legs no matter how hard I yanked or resisted. I had only shifted one time so far and I didn't know how to control my wolf.Panic flooded my veins, swarming my mind. All I could manage were muffled screams in vain.Jeremiah managed to unzip my pants and I'd rather die than let him touch me. But I was frozen, incapacitated.Squeezing my eyes shut so I couldn't see the vile smirk on his face as he edged my pants down, I prayed to the Moon Goddess that someone come for me, that this would end."Can't wait to see what old Leo's missing out on," Jeremiah sneered. I could hear the lewdness in his voice.I tried to force all of my weig
Last Updated : 2022-11-24Hybrid Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 33 : Wrapped in His Scent
**Amber POVI laid in his bed alone, wrapped in Leo's scent, while he sat in a chair in the furthest corner away. I wanted him closer, but just because I wanted it didn't mean he did—at least that's what I thought at first.As I laid there with my head nestled in his pillow, I could feel him watching me closely. For a moment I was uncomfortable, but as I replayed the recent events in my head, I began to realize that he really did want to protect me; he'd never hurt me.When I met his eyes across the dimly lit room, I expected him to turn away from staring at me or for me to become intimidated by his gaze like I'd done before. Instead, we stared into each other's eyes; I found comfort there.Though Leo's expression was flat and serious, his eyes were bright, seemingly filled with worry, anger and a sense of protection. He didn't bother to hide it… I could tell he cared for me… so why was he keeping me so far away?And why did he refuse to let me in? I trie

**Amber POV"You don't have to marry Prince Leonardo for the treaty to be valid. Really, you have your choice between brothers," he said with a devilish grin.He couldn't really be suggesting… I pressed my tongue to the roof of my mouth to keep my expression in check. I had to be measured around this master manipulator.Doing my best to mimic the flirty eye batting I'd witnessed from Cami, I glared up at August and leaned close to him though every ounce of my being was revolted by the disgusting look in his eye and the sour stench of his scent."Is that right?" I asked. He grinned and nodded, giving his eyebrows a sick wiggle. "What do you think about that?"No, absolutely not. I wanted to say… but clearly he thought that he had me right where he wanted me, and if he thought that then he'd more than likely be willing to tell me what cogs were spinning in his mind."I think that I'd rather not have to marry that wretched beast," I said. My chest stung

**Amber POV"Prove it," Leo demanded."I've been wanting to," I replied.I grabbed Leo's defined arm tightly and seductively pulled him closer to me; his eyes were wild, fierce, and piercing, but I could tell he was having a difficult time resisting me.We stood there, entangled by the window, our eyes locked. I didn't say anything and I didn't need to. Only actions would make him believe my desire was genuine.I grasped his rigid hands and placed them on my delicate shoulders. I led his fingertips to trace my collarbone, a place that I knew he loved on my body; the place where he marked me before.I brought my eyes back up to him and nodded gently. "Do it again," I commanded.His eyes seemed to jolt open as he realized what I was asking him to do. It seemed like it was the last thing he ever would have expected from me, and I was proud of myself for acting confidently. I needed to be strong, someone worthy of being with Leo.Using my hand,

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
