CAIN’S POV I hesitated before sharing my findings with my father and the elders but I knew that I had to tell them, there was just no way for me to avoid coming clean to them. I also didn’t feel like I owed anything to Amber because she had lied to me and I thought we were close, I felt very betrayed by her. However, I knew that even if I hadn’t told them about Amber they would soon find out on their own because they were already very suspicious of her. They were just not going to believe me if I told them that I had found nothing. They were also going to send someone in who would search that room and find things that I hadn’t found, the last thing I wanted was to be accused of taking the side of an impostor.My father had been very convinced that there had to be something that would reveal who Amber really was and he thought that he had to have left something here that would give them the answers that they needed. However, I still wanted to know about the spy that they had at the pa
CHAD’S POV At first, Jeff thought that the long way to alpha Robert’s pack would calm me down but he soon realized that was in no mood to play games and I was determined to fulfill my mission. I meant what I said when I said I wanted Alpha Robert dead and he was about to find that out. We were now entering the pack’s territory and I realized that we were now being followed by the guards. They had clearly noticed the royal cars and I couldn’t quite figure out if they decided to join us or if they were simply keeping an eye on us. I wondered what they thought I was here to do because I thought it was obvious that I was here for business because no royal car had ever been here.”I see we have been noticed” Jeff pointed out and he was pointing out something that I had been expecting.“I expected it,” I said as I focused on the road ahead and soon we were pulling up into the pack house where I realized that Robert had already been alerted of our presence and he was waiting for us outside
CHAD’S POV When I woke up, I woke up to Amber complaining right next to me, it sounded like she was complaining about the fact that I was lying unconscious and how she should have just followed me. She was angry with me for not allowing her to follow me to her father’s pack and she was pacing up and down in the room and she couldn’t even see that I had woken up. I tried to get up but then I was reminded of my wounds by a sharp pain that hot through my arm as I tried to get up and I groaned finally getting her attention.“Chad you are awake” she said as she ran to me and helped me sit up, Amber was much stronger than she looked “you got shot” she pointed out but its sounded more like a complaint.“Yeah, I said. How long have I been out?” I asked her and her eyes softened“You slept through the night, after the doctor removed the silver bullet from your arm he gave you some strong medicine,” she said“Did he say what kind of bullet it was?” I asked her”Does it matter?” she asked me” a
AMBER’S POV I couldn’t bear the thought of placing everyone else in danger all because of me and the decisions that I had made. I had chosen to join the vampire coven and I had chosen to come here as a spy for them, I couldn’t risk the lives of the very people that I had intended to kill. I couldn’t even celebrate my father’s death because I was now so worried about the new threat that had been made against my life. I wanted to confront Natasha and ask her why she had chosen to betray the king that she had claimed to love so much but I decided to let her be because the perfect person to confront her about that was Chad. He was the king and she owed her loyalty to him and not me, she owed him an apology and not me. I also felt like I would be a hypocrite if I confronted her because at the end of the day I had come into the royal city as a spy for the vampire too.I didn’t know what to do with myself once more, Chad was back and he was safe but now something else was making me restless
AMBER’S POV After I got out of the royal City I went back to the location where I had found my bike wondering if it was still there and to my surprise it was. They really meant it when they said there was little to no crime in the royal city. Although I hadn’t left my bike in the royal city territory. I picked up my bike and another miracle happened, the bike was actually still working. I don’t know why I expected it to not be working but I had just left it out here for so long that I didn’t expect it to have any life in it. Seeing it come to life was a miracle and it reminded me of my love for fast vehicles. I couldn't explore that passion while I was at the palace because I was always indoors. My thoughts of the life that I had left back at the palace made me realize that I was already missing Chad and that place. It had become m home and although it had been a challenge for the wolves that lived there to accept me, I had already started settling in.I wondered how Chad was doing a
CHAD’S POVThere was no time to waste, we had to get Amber out of that place before they did anything to her. I had never been to the vampire territory and I had never dealt with a vampire before so I really didn’t know what the day held for me. I didn’t know what to expect from them but thank goodness I had Jeff who had some experience with the vampire coven. He knew what their weaknesses were and he knew how to kill them. I knew that doing this with no experience or training would be hard for me but there was no time for training. We just had to go in there and rescue Amber and then get out, I didn’t want us to waste any time because we didn’t know what their plans were and when they were planning to kill her“Did you manage to get all the warriors lined up?” I asked Jeff as we were in my office planning a way in“Yes I did,” he said“It’s kind of hard planning this without any idea of what the layout of that territory looks like” I complained and he sighed“I haven’t been there sin
CAIN’S POV After Amber’s meeting with the elders, I went into the meeting hall with hopes of seeing her before they imprisoned her but I was met by my father who also seemed to want to talk to her before the guards took her away. Amber was close to tears and I couldn’t help wondering why she was so upset, what had my father said to her this time. “I thought you were gone,” I said as I walked in “What are you doing here?” he asked me “I want to speak to Amber before you take her away,” I said, “why are you still here?” I asked him and he looked away. I knew my father well enough to know that he was about to lie to me. “I was just about to leave,” he said and then he walked out leaving me with Amber “Do you see the damage that you have caused?” I asked her “my father took you in as his own child, we all trusted you” “Spare me that bullshit Cain… your father wanted me dead from the day he grew suspicious of me. Why else would he send me to the wolf territory if he wasn’t hoping th
CHAD’S POVWhen we first arrived at the vampire coven I was not only excited by the action that was going on everywhere around me but also because I was about to see my mate. However, I was a little worried that we may have been a little late in getting to her. While I entered the coven searching for Amber, Jeff and the others remained outside where the real fight was happening. It took a while for me to finally locate my mate and when I found her she seemed a little disorientated and seemed to not think that I was even real.it was a little funny and cute at the same time but we had to hurry and get out so there was no time for me to dwell on the cuteness of my disorientated mate.I was angered by the conditions in which they had been keeping her because Amber was a queen and she didn’t deserve to be treated like some kind of a prisoner who had committed some kind of a big crime. The only crime she seemed to have committed in their eyes was to be born and to search for a place in whic
AMBER’S POV That was the most beautiful sleep that I had ever had I don’t think that I had ever slept like that in my life and although my body was still tired, I felt kind of well rested and I was ready to take on the new day. When I woke up, Chad was sleeping on the couch with the baby on his bare chest and they were both sleeping. I could already see that this baby was going to be a daddy’s girl and I already knew that I would have a problem dealing with that because item that I would never have enough time with any of them. I would have to fight Chad to spend time with her and I would have to fight her to spend time with him. I realized that I was in a lose-lose situation and that ithis was just the way my life was going to be. However, I would be lying if I said that I want happy with the fact that this baby was going to get a lot more love than I had ever received in my life. It was bios that Chad was going to be a better father than my father had ever been to me. For a long ti
CHAD’S POV Amber had tried to act like she wasn’t in that much pain but I knew that she was lying. The pain that she was feeling was written all over her face and there was no faking it. I understood that she didn’t want to disturb her friend as she spent tie with her mate but at this point, Iyana was the only person that I could trust when it came to Amber’s health. I no longer trusted my doctor because he had shown me that he was way out of his depth when it came to dealing with Amber’s head; issue but this wasn’t a health issue, this was a baby that was about to be born and it was as if the moon goddess was preparing for this when she gave Iyana to Jeff “Isn't it too early for this?” I asked Amber and she looked like she was just about ready to punch me. ” just get help Chad” she snapped as she grabbed onto the sheets and she just looked like she was in more pain than she had ever been on. Even back then when she had been in pain when she was sick the pain hadn't been this bad.
AMBER’S POV I was really touched by the way that Chad had stood up for me, I had been so afraid that I would be rejected by his subjects and unfortunately for me my fears had come to life and I was rejected for what I was and for my past with my father. However Chad made it clear to me that he wasn’t done with me yet, he told me that he still had a surprise in store for me. He called all the alphas to meet him after the part because he had an announcement to make, an announcement that I had no knowledge of like I literally didn’t know what he wanted to say to them. I tried asking him what he wanted to say and in the beginning, he didn’t want to tell me but he ended up telling me because I wouldn’t let it go. I honestly didn’t think that there was anything else that he could do for me that would top what he had already done. I knew very well that I was the only reason he had ended the war between vampire and wolf during the party and I just didn’t want him to keep doing things that c
AMBER’S POVI honestly didn’t feel comfortable with what Chad had suggested, it wasn’t even something that he was suggesting but it felt like was just letting me know what he expected of me. I knew that I didn’t have a choice but to attend this party especially because it was being thrown on my behalf and it was being done for me. I didn’t even think it was necessary because the royal citizens already knew me, it didn’t matter if the alphas didn’t know me because as far as I was concerned I was never going to be having any dealings with them. But then again, I had to recognize that if they didn’t know me that would also mean some kind of danger for me because then I could get attacked out there without them knowing who I was. I had to do this whether I liked it or not.I hadn’t liked the idea of throwing a party in my honor from the moment that Chad suggested it but I had gone with the plan because I wanted him to be happy, I realized that I didn’t have much of a choice but to just a
CHAD’S POV Now that all the loose ends had been tied I could breathe a little easier, the girl who had tried to end my mate was dead and I could rest better knowing that she was safe. Amber was now back to herself and everything was finally going well for us. For a minute there I had started thinking that maybe it was best if I let her go, I knew that letting her go wouldn’t give me any more peace than staying with her would. I had been miserable for such a long time I had forgotten what it felt like to be happy I had even forgotten what it felt like to make love to my mate. I couldn’t wait for us to get back to our usual routine. I really hoped that Amber had learned something from this thing that we had just dealt with. I hoped that she learned that she couldn’t just trust anyone so easily, especially vampires. They had proven to her and to me that they couldn’t be trusted countless times and I really didn’t want to be dealing with something like this ever again. I actually just wa
AMBER’S POVIyana had left me with some more portions that I was supposed to drink for the next couple of days, I honestly didn’t see any reason for me to drink them because I was already feeling fine but I knew that it was in my best interest to go with what she told me rather than what I was feeling. I was feeling so much better not to the extent that I could even take walked to the garden. I had grown so tired of staying in the house and a part of me witches I could just stay in the garden for a little while so that I could make up for all the time that I had lost while I was sick.While Chad was gone I decided to g to the garden and watch the sun as it set, this had grown to be my favorite activity since I settled here but I had lost it because I was sick. I was now trying to go back to my usual activities and I was trying to adjust to the new life that I now had. The fact that I was pregnant meant that I had to change a lot of things about my life. There were some things that I c
CHAD’S POV I couldn't believe what I was hearing from the witch that had come to help us. I knew that the blood that had been given t Amber was the cause of all of this but I could never have guessed that the blood was poisoned. I mean, we all thought that it was obvious that she was suffering from withdrawal symptoms, but I could see that it seemed like there was something more to it. Something that even my own doctor couldn’t see, not that I could blame him for not seeing it, but he had been as puzzled about this as I had been and now everything was starting to make sense. There was no way that I was going to just take this lying down, someone had to pay for this and I was about to make sure that I found whoever did this. They all had to pay for what they had done to my mate and I was going to make sure that I made them all pay. I was going to ignore the fact that my mate had ties to them in the same way that they had forgotten that the vampire that they had been trying to poison an
AMBER’S POV I had been in excruciating pain ever since I woke up from what felt like a coma. I woke up with a pounding headache that was probably caused by whatever the doctor had given me. When I woke up, Chad wasn’t by my side, so I just stared at the ceiling and contemplated what my life had become. I had been through so much in the past weeks and I had even forgotten what it felt like to be feeling gone, it was as if I was now used to being in pain. My body was used to relying on medicine to cope and I wondered if I would ever be normal again. It seemed that everything that Chad and Jeff had tried to help me had failed and I was really at the point of giving up. At this point, I was just overwhelmed with feelings of negativity and, as much as I knew that being negative wasn’t going to help me in any way, I couldn’t help myself. I couldn’t even see myself getting out of this situation, no matter how positive I tried to be. When I woke up, I wasn’t in as much pain as I had been in
CHAD’S POV “Look man, I know that you are very stressed out and worried about your mate but you can't just make impulsive decisions,” Jeff said”Didn’t you hear what the doctor said?” I asked him pointing at the doctor who was now sitting on the bed in silence “he said she won't make it” ”No I didn’t say that, I simply said that her body was shutting down,” he said as if there was any difference between him saying that Amber’s body was shutting down and him saying that she was going to die. The inevitable thing that would follow her body shutting down was the fact that she would soon die. I didn’t see the point of him trying to give me false hope when he knew very well that there was a huge chance that my mate wasn’t going to live through this. “Well is there anything else that you can do?” I asked him even though I already knew the answer to my question “There isn't much that I can do because she refuses to take any form of medication,” he said “That is why I am saying that you
