2024-10-29 19:42:56CHAD’S POV
The honest truth was that I was deeply wounded by what my mate had said to me, I was hurt that she wasn’t even willing to give me a chance to prove to her that I wasn’t just any man I was her mate and I felt that had to count for something. I wanted her to see that I wasn’t like all the other man that she had met in her life. What she said to me where the words that I had never thought I would hear a woman say to me and for a split second I wanted to give up on her and allow her to leave. She was certain that she didn’t want me without even giving me a chance, she was sure that she wanted nothing to do with me but my heart and my wolf simply refused to accept that fact. I felt like if I simply gave up on her now I would be accepting defeat without even trying to fight for her. I hadn’t put in effort to convince her that I was a good an so now was not the time for me to give up. I was sure that there was something that I could do

MATED TO THE ENEMY Terrified of a future with him
AMBER’S POVI had gotten really bored in the room after Chad left and I thought that instead of wasting my time in his room, I had to go out and find out if there was any way I could escape the palace. Being around Chad was driving me crazy not only because he always seemed to be happy even after all the horrible things that I would say to him but also because of the feelings that were undeniable starting to develop for him. I knew that it was only a matter of time before the feelings took over and overwhelmed me and I had to get out before then. I had seen how wolves with mates behaved and I just didn’t want that to be me, I hated feeling vulnerable and I was willing to do anything to not feel this way. I refused to allow Chad to make me weak after I had worked so hard to leave my days of weakness behind me.After I bathed I went out of the room and took my time getting to know the palace, it seemed that Chad had told everyone who I was and eve
MATED TO THE ENEMY The truth
CHAD’S POVEverything seemed to be going well and Amber was giving into my advances without fighting me off like I had expected to. I couldn’t understand why she was angry with me since she claimed that she didn’t care about what I did. However, despite her anger towards me, she did allow me to kiss her and touch her just as I hungered to. I wanted her and I knew that I couldn’t forcefully take her, I didn’t want her to see me as a monster because I wasn’t, I may have been viewed as a monster by others but I didn’t want her to see me in the same way, I wanted her to know the most intimate parts about me just as I wanted to know hers. Our make-out session was suddenly cut short by none other than Amber herself when she finally realized that she didn’t want to do this with me.”What is wrong with you?” she asked me as she got off the bed where we had been lying and she shot up to her feet. She scratched her
MATED TO THE ENEMY Feeling weak
AMBER’S POVI woke up in the middle of the night feeling cold only to realize that I was sleeping alone on the bed. Even though I had been fighting Chad and I had been insisting on him sleeping on his own I had gotten accustomed to him forcing his way into my blankets. It was him forcing his way into my space that I missed the most. I also missed the attention that he gave me of course those were things that I was not willing to admit to him but my wolf forced me to admit them to myself.I honestly don’t know what I was expecting when I woke up, but I definitely wasn't expecting to wake up to no one in the room with me. I was expecting Chad to at least be sleeping on the floor or even on the chair but words couldn’t even describe the disappointment I felt when I realized that neither of the two was the case. I was suddenly overwhelmed with a feeling of loneliness and I hated myself for it, I was allowing myself to be vulnerable and I was afraid
MATED TO THE ENEMY Summoned by the king
CHAD’S POVNow that the royal messengers had been sent out to Alpha Robert’s pack all I could do was wait for them to come back and tell me what his response to my invitation to the palace was. It wasn’t like he had much of a choice in the matter because I demanded to see him, I wasn’t asking him I was telling him that I wanted him to come and I expected him to oblige. I hadn't heard his side of the story yet but I already knew that it wasn’t going to be something that I was going to like, I expected him to either lie about what he had done to my mate or be ignorant and unapologetic about it. The only thing I knew so far was that he had killed Amber’s mother and I wanted to know his reasons for doing so as the king I had the right to ask why he had decided to kill her. I wanted to know more about their living conditions when they were together and what made Amber hate him so much.Jeff and I were still not on the same page where Ambe
MATED TO THE ENEMY In need of him
AMBER POVI was torn between wanting to make a run for it and staying here to see where this mate bond would take me and Chad. I wasn’t sure if running would be a good idea and I also wasn’t sure if staying was a good idea, I wasn’t even sure of my feelings for Chad and I hated the uncertainty. What made matters worse was the fact that I hadn’t seen him for almost two days. At first, I thought tat it could have been that he was really busy but I was now realizing that he was just avoiding me and it was personal. Instead of having my food brought in my room like I usually did, I had told the omega that was serving me to alert me when a meal was ready. I did this with high hopes that I would find Chad in the dining room and then maybe he would explain to me why he was ignoring me but I hadn't been that lucky. I asked the omega if Chad had ever shared a meal in the same table with the other wolves that lived in the palace and she told me that he did. She
MATED TO THE ENEMY The calm before the storm
CHAD’S POVI carried Amber back into our room in a little bit of disbelief, I couldn’t believe this was happening so soon. I know that it was kind of long overdue but I never thought that an emotional breakdown would make her get to the point where she was ready to do this with me. Her head was still buried in my shoulder as if she was ashamed of what we were about to do or the fact that she had been the one who initiated it and I didn’t want her to feel like this. There was nothing shameful about her being with her mate and there was nothing shameful about us making love. if my parents were alive they would have even been asking us when we were planning to have children but I was kind of glad they were not here. they were probably going to scare Amber away.When we got back into the room I gently placed her on the bed and admired her beauty as she covered her eyes with her hands and I realized that she was probably shy because she ha
MATED TO THE ENEMY The half truth
CHAD’S POVAfter I got to my office I started working before Alpha Robert could get here. Alpha Robert was a proud man and he refused to tell me what time he would be here. He also probably wanted to feel like he had some kind of control in this situation, but he wasn’t about to be in control of anything because this was my palace and I was the one who had summoned him. I wasn't about to allow him to come here and act like he could boss me around.I also used my time alone in my office as a time to prepare myself for what was to come, I knew that I had to control my temper so that I didn’t end up ripping this man’s head off however, just the thought of him sitting opposite me irritated me even before he had arrived. I was solely going on what my father had told me about the man and the little information that Amber told me. the man didn't have any good reviews.I didn’t want to accuse him of anything, I was just goi
MATED TO THE ENEMY He should be dead
AMBER'S POVI woke up to an empty side of the bed, I hated how I wished that Chad could have woken me up because I had been trying to fight the feelings that I had for him. I had to admit that I did love him now and I wanted to be with him all the time. It was funny how all it took for me to get here with him was for him to make me open up. Just me talking about my mum and how my father killed her made me soften up to him. What I loved the most was the reaction he gave me after I shared a little bit of my past with him. Chad was really a nice guy and I was willing to give him a chance to show me and prove to me that he was genuine. I wanted him to prove that he could love me beyond the mate bond and prove that he didn't completely depend on the mate bond for our connection.I must admit that I was a little disappointed that he wasn’t by my side when I woke up but I guess he had a lot of king stuff to do. I woke up and decided it was best if I bat

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.

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
