~Amanda~

My lips curved into a smile,”Ariana?”I called,not sure if I was dreaming or it was reality.

“Mommy?”She called and rushed to the bed and hugged me so tightly.

“Mommy…”She whispered and her hands around me tightened.My lips curved into a smile.Oh heavens!How I had missed her tiny hands wrapped around me so tightly.

I ignored my sore body and hugged my daughter back, tightly and patted her back.

“Mommy is awake and doing alright.”I assured her because I could sense that she was scared.

After hugging each other for a while,we pulled off and my lips curved into a smile.She was crying and my heart ached at the sight.I didn't like it whenever I saw even a single tear drop from her eyes.

I brushed hair strands from her face and tucked it behind her ear then wiped tears from her eyes.

“Why are you crying? Mommy is doing alright.”I tried to coax my daughter as I wiped tears from her eyes but it continued to flow.

“I was scared, mommy.I thought tha

    ~Amanda~“I'm here to pick up Amanda.”Gabriel answered as though it was something obvious.“There is no way in hell I'm going to allow you to take Amanda anywhere!”Andrew's anger escalated.He grabbed my hand and pulled me to himself,as though he was trying to protect me from Gabriel.I know how much he hated him.I know…My biological parents hated him too,so much because he hurt their daughter five years ago.It's a good thing that Mom and Dad didn't know his face or name and I was grateful for that.“Can you wait for me in the car, Gabriel?”I asked and he nodded, then got inside the car without any protest.I turned to look at Andrew and I saw the confusion on his face.He let my hand  and I took a sharp breath.I know Andrew was confused because he was trying to save me from Gabriel but here I was, willing to go with him wherever without any protest.“You're agreeing to go with him?''He asked and I could feel the anger and hate that he harboured for G

    ~Amanda~Gabriel stiffened once again and the smile on my lips only grew wider.Perhaps he thought that I would never find out about it…I keep on learning new things about Gabriel with each passing day.However, none of them are not good for my heart because it makes my heart ache,as though someone is squeezing it into a tiny ball.With each passing day,I learned that I have never known Gabriel.He has become like a stranger to me and that breaks my heart into a million pieces because..I thought that I knew him better than anyone else…It made me feel like a fool for falling in love with him.I loved him freaking much and gave him my everything but in return…I was heartbroken.I was blinded by love and I felt disgusted with myself.I couldn't believe that I was living a lie for the fucking three years that we were together back in campus.It fucking hurt so much.I thought that I would find relief after leaving our home city and find

    ~Amanda~ There was a knock on my office door and Andrew walked in with papers in his hands.“Here are some documents that need your signature,”He said, placing the papers on the vintage table carefully, then his lips curved into a small smile.That is not Andrew that I’m used too.He was giving me a cold shoulder and I didn't need a prophetess to tell me the reason why.“Andrew,”I called when he was about to turn around and walk away,”Can we talk over lunch break?I don't like it when we are like this.”I looked at him with puppy eyes.He heaved a deep sigh,”Okay.”He then turned around and walked away.I looked at the door when he was gone and blew a heavy breath, collapsing on the highly backed chair.I worked on the papers that Andrew brought in my office.I got lost in work and forgot about all my problems for a while.I turned my head to check at the time on the wall clock and that is when I realised that it was already lunch time.I closed all the book sk

    ~Amanda~“He is a wolf too.”I swallowed the lump down my throat.The fact that Gabriel was a wolf still hurt fucking bad because he never cared to tell me the truth after being together for freaking three years.“Did you know about it?”Andrew inquired and I heaved a deep sigh.“I found out recently.”It was quiet for a while,”I just knew it!He is nothing but a jerk!”Andrew said in disdain and I was quiet.“It means that he has never been honest with you even while you were still together,Amanda.”I swallowed the bitter silver down my throat.It hurt damn much whenever I gave it a thought.I was always honest with Gabriel back then.However,it turns out that he has never been honest with me.Not even a single day!“And he used to claim that he loved you?Who does that to someone that he claims to be in love with?”Andrew asked with a raised eyebrow and the corner of his lips curved into a smile.Every single word that escaped Andrew's lips hurt so much but I know

    ~Amanda~“Andrew…”Gab turned to look at me and just then,the bell rang.“I will go to check,”My mother said with a smile then headed to the door,”Andrew!”I heard my mother say in happiness.They hugged so tightly,as though they had not seen each other for years.“Lucia!Long time no see.You look more beautiful than the last time I saw you!”My mother and Lucia hugged as well.“You look beautiful too,aunt.”Lucia looked at my mother intently,”I was expecting you to look older than the last time I saw you because it has been five years!”Lucia joked like she has always done and I couldn't help but smile.“Uncle Andrew!”My daughter shouted in excitement, Gabriel lowered her to the ground and she ran to him.Andrew smiled broadly and scooped her into his arms,”I missed you so much, uncle.”Aria wrapped her tiny hands around Andrew.“And I missed you too, Ariana.”He planted kisses all over her face and she couldn't stop giggling.Everyone was quiet as we wa

    ~Gabriel~Andrew and I walked away from everyone so that we could have a private conversation.However,I didn't feel okay about it because I know how much he hates me.We finally stopped when we were away from everyone's earshot and it was quiet for a while.“Does aunt know that you are the one who hurt her daughter five years ago?”I took a sharp breath when I heard Andrew's words.Amanda’s mother doesn't know that I'm the reason why her daughter was hurt five years ago and I'm grateful that her daughter never mentioned it to her.I can't help it but think how things would be if she knew the fucking truth.Sometimes I feel guilty when she treats me nicely and shows me alot of love because I don't deserve any of that.Not until I make everything right.Amanda's mother has been so nice towards me and my father since they came to stay with us in Crescent Moon pack.She treats me as though I'm her own flesh and blood…I closed my eyes and heaved a deep sigh.

    ~Lucia~“I think I should get going…”Amanda said as she looked in the opposite direction and I couldn't help it but follow her eyes and that's when I read in between the lines.“Hey Amanda we are still talking here!”I whisper-yelled but she winked at me.“I need to change Ariana's clothes because she's sweaty.I will be back in a few.”I rolled my eyes because that was a lame excuse she was giving me.“Amanda…”She turned around and walked away,never looking back at me and I felt betrayed.How dare she leave me just like that?Best friends are supposed to support each other no matter what, right?I was not that dumb for heaven's sake!I know she walked away on purpose so that I could face my past.I felt my heart thumping so hard against my ribcage and for a split second,I was afraid that it would explode.I thought that I was prepared mentally to face my past head on but here I was,a nervous wreck and I felt like running away at the moment.I heaved a deep

    ~Amanda~“I hate him!I fucking hate him!”I looked at Lucia with raised eyebrow because I didn't know what the hell was going on with her.When I walked away,I wanted them to have some privacy so that they could talk like two grown asses and sort things out.But no!I think they didn't come to an agreement because here she was,so frustrated.“What's the matter?”I inquired because I was so eager to know what happened between the two when I left the backyard as an excuse to change my daughter's clothes.“Can you imagine what excuse Leon told me when I asked him the reason why he never told me that he was a fucking wolf?”She heaved a frustrated sigh and I could tell that indeed she was pissed off.“Tell me…”I said curiously,”You can't believe it!”She heaved another deep breath.“He told me that it's because our relationship had no strings attached.That he didn't think of telling me because it's personal!Can you imagine that?”She asked and I was quiet for a whi

    AMANDA Oh heavens!It was finally happening!He finally popped the question!I nodded my head almost immediately,”Yes, Gabriel.I will marry you!”The tension on his face faded away and it was now replaced with a big smile.He heaved a deep sigh.I didn't know he was that nervous while asking the question.Gabriel picked the ring and grabbed my hand then slowly slid the engagement ring on the middle finger of my left hand.The ring felt cold against my finger and it fitted perfectly,as though it was made just for me.Gabriel stood up and wiped tears from my eyes, that's when I realised that I was shading tears of joy.“I can't wait to call you wifey…”He chuckled then leaned and kissed me.“Mine!”He said possessively in my head as he kissed me so deep,”I can't wait to be your wife.”I told him through the mind link and he groaned in response.We continued to kiss so passionately.Gabriel hoisted me and I wrapped my legs around his waist so tightly.He gave my arse a gentle squeeze and I let ou

    ~Amanda~THREE WEEKS LATER Gabriel recovered from the poison and now he is doing alright.He is back to training to get back his strength because the poison weakened his immune system.I have been training too so that in case the enemies attack the pack,I will be able to protect our daughter and future kids.I haven't gone to the company for the past three weeks.Andrew has been in charge of everything and he always informed me how was running in my absence.I have to say that I'm grateful for having Andrew as a working partner because he is amazing to work with.Andrew has closed a couple of deals in my absence and handled the company so well.I’m not that surprised because his parents were entrepreneurs too.Apart from having shares in our company,Andrew owns other businesses which were left under his name by his parents.I was surprised when Andrew visited Crescent Moon to check on Gabriel and wished him a quick recovery.As far as I could remember,the two didn't get along that well.I

    Chapter 103~Gabriel~”“For what?”She asked in confusion,”For everything.”The frown on her face only deepened when she heard my words.“I know I owe you an apology because Amanda went through alot in the past because of me.”I paused and took a deep breath.“I can't help it but feel guilty because you're treating me with love despite knowing the truth.''I bowed my head once again.I couldn't remember when was the last time I felt this way in my life.I felt as though I had committed an unforgiving crime.I wanted Amanda's mother,I mean our mother, to know that I was really sorry about what happened between Amanda and I in the past.“I swear I didn't have any idea that Amanda was pregnant when we parted ways in such a heartbreaking way back in campus.I tried looking for her so that I could explain everything to her but all my efforts to search for Amanda was in vain.I searched the whole of

    ~Amanda~Gabriel pulled back and pretended as though he didn't want to kiss me in the first place.I almost groaned but looking at our daughter's cute innocent face made my lips curve into a smile.“Mommy!”Our daughter screamed at the top of her voice and I could feel the longing in her voice.She ran to us and jumped on the bed, giggling.“Careful dear,”I whispered as we hugged so tightly.My mother stared at us with a smile, Gabriel as well.“Did you miss mommy?”I asked my daughter after pulling off from the tight embrace and she nodded with a pout.“Yes,you lied that you'll come back.”I swallowed when I heard my daughter's words,”Mommy is so sorry for lying to you, okay? It's just that,I got a little busy.”I brushed hair strands from her face and tucked it behind her ear.“Grandma told me that you're taking care of uncle Gabriel because he got hurt,”She turned to look at Gabriel and I could see worry

    ~Amanda~“Ga…Gabriel,”I stuttered, afraid that I might be dreaming.The corner of his lips curved into a smile.The smile that I have been craving to see on his face so bad.Gabriel wiped tears from my eyes and that is when I realised that I was crying.Damn it!Only the heavens knows how much I had missed his touches that sent a shiver down my spine.My eyes shuttered effortlessly and I leaned in to feel more of his touch.Just this once,I decided to let all my emotions get the better of me and more tears streamed down my cheeks.Gabriel growled and that made me open my eyes,”I don't like to see you crying,”He said and I could feel the annoyance in his voice.“But…I can't help it.”I said in almost a whisper but loud enough for him to hear what I had just said.“I was so scared, Gabriel.”I confessed how I was feeling deep inside me.“When you dropped on the ground in the study room.I was so scared that I was going t

    ~Amanda~Leon heaved a deep sigh then shook his head.The little hope that I had on my way to the hospital flew through the window.“The doctors are checking up on him right now.”He explained to me,”What about you take a little break?I will watch over him.”I told Leon and I could see conflict in his eyes.“Are you sure you're going to be alright? Gabriel will kill me in case something happens to you.”I couldn't help but roll my eyes when I heard his words.“You're worrying too much,Leon.I think it will be good if you change,”I nodded to his blood stained clothes.“That's right,”He chuckled,”Call me in case of anything, okay?”He told me and I nodded.I could tell that Leon was really worried about Gabriel and I was glad to know that he had such a caring friend.The door clicked open and doctors walked out of the room,”How is he?”I asked one of them.“His body is responding r

    ~Amanda~Slowly,I turned around to find my mother standing at the door with a surprise look on her face.She looked at the sleeping Gabriel on the hospital bed then turned to look at me.“Is it true?”She asked and I could see so many unasked questions in her eyes.Taking a deep breath,I nodded hesitantly.“Ye…yes.”I said in almost a whisper but loud enough for my mother to hear what I had just said.“How?”She asked as confusion took over her features.”As far as I remember,you told us that you didn't know about Ariana's father because it was a one night stand and you never saw the man ever again since he was gone when you woke up.”I took a sharp breath when I heard my mother's words.I looked away, feeling guilty for lying to her all this time.“Can we talk about it somewhere else?I think this is not the right place.”My mother nodded to my words.I turned to look at Gabriel one last time t

    ~Amanda~I went on my knees then cradled Gabriel's face in my palms,”Gabriel, Gabriel.”I called, shaking his head slightly as though doing so would make him come to his senses.“Gabriel please open your eyes.You can't do this to me.You can't leave me.Please open your eyes…''I pleaded,tears streaming down my cheeks like a waterfall.“Gabriel…”I screamed helplessly,hugging him so tightly to my chest.The door to the study room opened and the doctors walked in with a bed, accompanied by Alpha,Leon and the beta and they looked so worried.“Please excuse us Ma'am.”The doctors looked at me as I continued to hold Gabriel in my arms so tightly, sobbing.“He needs medical attention right away because he was stabbed by a poisonous dagger in the battlefield.”Leon crouched to my level and carefully pulled me so that I could let Gabriel go.I fought Leon but he held me so tightly.I knew there was no point in fighting him anymore because my strength was nothing compared to his.I gave up fighting an
