False Pretences

2022-05-27 18:06:41AMBER’S POV
By the end of my first day of training, I was a professional at holding a gun and target shooting. I left my trainer, Cain surprised and charmed because he couldn’t believe just how easily I had grasped the way I was supposed to hold a gun. I was here on a mission and the mission wasn’t only to fit in with the vampires but it was also to equip myself with the tool I needed to get my revenge. Cain was a nice guy and he was very friendly, he was much friendlier than the trainers in my father’s pack. Training in the wolf territory was a difficult task and it was very grueling. I had volunteered myself for training and I quickly opted to drop out because I started feeling like I was undergoing punishment instead of training.
“I must say that I have never met any vampire with as much determination as you,” Cain said as he walked me to my room
“you are one hungry wolf and its quite refreshing to find someone and to train someone with the amount of passion that you have” he complimented me and I found myself blushing, I wasn’t sure if I was blushing because of the complement that he had just given me of if it was simply because of the dimples that appeared on his face every time he smiles.
”Thank you, I just want to earn my keep,” I said and he laughed“I hear you, and if you keep this rate up… you will have Marcus eating out of the palm of your hand in no time,” he said “he is keeping a close eye on you you know” he added
”Why would he do that?” I asked him “does he not trust me?” I asked and Cain bit his lip, and I realized he was a very handsome guy. His eyes were an icy blue and his hair pitch black, his skin was obviously pale and showed he lacked some vitamin D. I felt that every man should have black hair. I never liked a guy that had any other hair color but black, but then again I had never paid attention to the type of men that were in the world nor had I ever been interested in them. As far as I was concerned men were a waste of time and space and it was such a shame that women, whether human, wolf, or vampire always had to answer to them. I didn't want a man because I didn't want to answer to anyone but myself.“Well I think he knows what you are capable of and I know that because I don’t just train anyone” he boasted “I think he believes that you could be or would be very useful to the pack if you were trained by someone who actually knows what they are doing.
“What does that mean?” I asked
“That means that if Marcus asks me to train someone its because he knows that vampire would be an asset to the coven, he has faith in you and I don’t want you to let him down,” he said
“Look at you advocating for the great elder” I mocked but I was intrigued by the fact that Cain was so dedicated to his work and the unity that this clan seemingly had, unity wasn’t something that I was used to
“I can’t help it, he is my father after all,” he said and now that he had mentioned it I could see the resemblance between the two of them, they had the same eyes.
“I have to watch his back just as he watches out for me” he added and he seemed to really love his father. This was very contrary to the relationship I had with my own father, I hated the man and even in his death, I wished he could resurrect so that I could kill him all over again.
“I knew there was something similar about the two of you” I noted and he laughed “I don’t know what it is but the fact that he is your father explains a lot.”
”I promise I will put in a good word for you,” he said with a wink as we reached my door
“Thank you, I think I will need it. Your father seems a little too serious” I said and he laughed
“Don’t let that serious face he puts on for the elders fool You, he is actually a big marshmallow inside” he said
“I hope you are right because I really have no other place to go,” I said on a more serious note, I was just afraid of being kicked out of the clan.
“tell you what…I will take you on a tour of the territory tomorrow so that you can familiarize yourself with the place. That way your movements won't be limited to your room and the training grounds” he suggested and I liked that suggestion, it would never be a good idea for me to stay in a place that I wasn’t familiar with. Especially with the number of secrets that I was keeping, it was best to always be ready for anything.
“Why do you always do that?” he asked me
“Do what?” I asked him
“It's like we are having a conversation and then you suddenly drift off and it's like you are no longer here,” he said
“Oh, I am just not used to being around so many vampires so sometimes it can be a lot to take it,” I said
“Oh I heard that you were from that government facility,” he said “I would love for you to tell me more about your experience there someday, maybe that will even help you jog your memory” he added as he started walking away
“I will see you tomorrow,” he said as he ran off and I got into my room and took a deep sigh.
Now I had to come up with more lies to cover u and keep up with my first lie, ling was exhausting but I had no other option. It was either staying here under false pretenses or going back to the wolf kingdom only to be hunted down and handed back to my pack where the elders would surely execute me.

MATED TO THE ENEMY First kill
AMBER’S POV I was settling well into the vampire clan and although I didn’t have any friends yet I was starting to feel at home and a little welcome by some of the vampires. I wasn’t really bothered by the fact that some of the vampires were having a hard time accepting me and adjusting to my presence because I had been living my life as a reject ever since I was born. I was just happy to be in a place where I felt like my very existence was not an abomination, some may have been blatantly rejecting me but the few that were accepting me made me feel at home. Of course, I felt like I was living a lie to a certain extent, but I also felt like this was an opportunity for me to rewrite my life and get a fresh start. The fact that no one knew who I was meant that I could be anyone and anything that I wanted. Cain had been very helpful and he was helping me with everything that I needed help with, he was helping me settle into the coven and was trying his best to keep the ones that were tr

CHAD’S POVMy parents had been gone on a business trip for too long now and I was getting restless. They had never been gone for this long without communicating with any of us that were back at the packhouse. I tried finding out from the elders what the delay was but none of them had an answer for me, I was beginning to think that they knew something that I didn’t know and that they were hiding something from me. I really hoped that meeting with them tonight would help shed some light for me on what was going on with my parents."I hoped you called me here to tell me what is happening with my parents,” I said as I took my seat next to the throne, a seat that was meant for my father who was the Alpha king. Seeing it empty and vacant kind of scared me and I hoped it wouldn’t stay like that for very long.“As a matter of fact my prince that is exactly why we have called you here,” the first elder said“So where are they?” I asked just as the beta came into the meeting hall with my father
Last Updated : 2022-05-30MATED TO THE ENEMY Acting childish
CAIN’S POV I couldn’t believe that my father was trying to rob me of my chances with Amber, sending her to a wolf territory all on her own was basically handing her over to the wolves for them to devour her and have their way with her. I had told my father of my interest in Amber and he seemed to agree that we would make a good match but now I couldn’t understand the direction in which he was taking things, I just couldn’t understand his reasoning in the decision he had made. He had been bothering me about settling down and having kids and now that I was trying to do that he had taken it upon his power to sabotage that for me. I was even beginning to think that maybe he wanted Amber for himself especially considering the attention he had been giving her ever since she got here.“Father, I need to speak to you..” I said as I stormed into his office he lifted his eyes to look at me and he had an angry expression on his face. He was in a meeting with one of the elders and I didn’t care
Last Updated : 2022-05-31MATED TO THE ENEMY The journey
AMBER’S POV The day of my departure had finally arrived and I was literally shitting bricks of fear, I was scared out of my mind and my main fear was that I was going to be killed by wolves. My father’s pack was probably still in search of me and I wouldnt be surprised if they had alerted every pack of my disappearance. I didn’t know what awaited me out there and I didn’t even know which direction I was supposed to take. Elder Marcus told me that I was to just walk into any pack that was in the Northern territory and that would certainly land me in the alpha king’s house. The worst thing about this was that I was expected to seduce the old man that was supposedly the alpha king. Even though Elder Marcus hadn't blatantly said that I had to seduce the king, he had said that I was to do everything that I had to in order to get the information I needed. I didn’t even know what information was needed but all I was told was that I was to do everything I could to achieve my goal and all wit
Last Updated : 2022-05-31MATED TO THE ENEMY He should know better
CHAD’S POV I was so drunk I could barely even walk, I was coming from the club with my friends and some of the girls from the pack and we had just had a very good time. For the first time ever since my parents had died I hadn’t found myself obsessing about their death and my loneliness, I felt like I was my old self again but it was clear that had only lasted when I was out with my friends because as soon as I got back home those haunting thought returned. All I wanted right now was my bed and nothing more. I knew the elders would have a field day if they saw me like this but who cared about them, I didn’t need their permission to live my life and I certainly didn’t need their instruction in running this pack.The omega that I had chosen during my coronation had run her course and I no longer had any use for her on my bed as beautiful as she was. Being with her had been fun but it hadnt made me forget my troubles like I had hoped it would, as a matter of fact being with her made me r

AMBER’S POV After seeing Iyana I had regained my confidence and I was starting to feel like I could actually do this. I started feeling like I could slip back into the wolf territory and slip out again without anyone noticing that I was ever there. My plan of action was very simple, I was going to lay low when I got into the Northern territory until I found a way to slip into the palace without being noticed. I knew that because this was a palace and not a packhouse it was probably going to be a little harder for me to slip in and out without anyone noticing. it was probably going to be heavily guarded and I was expecting to even meet some guards that were probably patrolling the street but I told myself that as long as I laid low and didn't ruffle any feathers I would be fine. If However, I did run into some trouble, I was going to call on Iyana and I knew that she would happily help me when I needed help. It's just that she had already done so much for me and I didn't want to feel
Last Updated : 2022-06-01MATED TO THE ENEMY Going through her things
CAIN’S POV My life without Amber was just miserable and lonely, I didn’t even know what to do with myself now that she was gone and the worst part was the fact that we had had a fight right before she left on the day that she left. I hated myself for making her feel like I didn’t care about her when I did, I cared about her just as much as I cared about the power that we were all going to get from this trip that she had just taken to the wolf lands. As far as I was concerned she was going to benefit from this trip as much as I and my father were going to, I knew that she wanted the rest of the coven to respect her and recognize her as part of it and this was an opportunity for her to get that. If she did things right and brought back the information that my father and the rest of the elders needed then I was sure that everyone, including Sophia, would have no choice but to respect her. She was already the best hunter that I had and there was no one that could replace her or do the
Last Updated : 2022-06-01MATED TO THE ENEMY Intruder alert
AMBER’S POV Now that I had successfully managed to get my wolf back, the only thing left for me to do was to go head straight for the royal palace. I knew that there was probably a lot going on there and I hoped that no one would pay any attention to me while I checked out my surroundings. I was very careful not to attract any attention to myself but it appeared that I didn’t need to do anything to attract attention. The guards that were walking around and every guard that I met on my way to the palace were looking at me funny and yet not even one of them even spoke to me. None of them questioned me about my reasons for being there until I met one tough and a mean-looking wolf who just wouldn't get off my tail. I tried losing him a couple of times but I just couldn't shake him off, I came to the conclusion that he was probably a tracker and he was probably trying to see where I was going. It was also clear that here rogue wolves were not hunted down to be killed but welcomed even tho

MATED TO THE ENEMY A happy ending
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
MATED TO THE ENEMY Baby arrival
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.
MATED TO THE ENEMY In pain
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
MATED TO THE ENEMY New Laws
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
MATED TO THE ENEMY A party in my honor
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
MATED TO THE ENEMY Jeff and his mate
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
MATED TO THE ENEMY Poisoned
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
MATED TO THE ENEMY Getting helped
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
MATED TO THE ENEMY A witch in our midst
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
