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
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
AMBER’S POVIt turned out that I had been right when I thought that I was being followed by the guards that had chased me the other day. When I first noticed them they had been walking around and watching what I was doing but today it seemed they had a mission. Word on the street was that the kind was back from a business meeting and I assumed that was the reason it was so important to these idiots to catch me they probably wanted to make it looked like they had been busy with something and all at my expense. I knew that they would eventually catch me but I wasn’t about to make catching me easy for them. i had managed to evade them ever since i realised that they were following me and i intended to keep that upWhen I first heard that the king was back I was very angry because I felt like I could have accomplished much in his absence, but that was all water under the bridge he was back now and he had probably sent the guards to come and fetch me. I had already missed that opportunity
AMBER’S POV I woke up the fillowing day to find myslf sleeping on a very luxurious bed, the last thing I could remember from the previous night was that I had been caught and then after than I had been beaten to a pulp by the good samaritan that had given me my purse the only hing was that I had realised too late that there was nothing good abut him. I didnt remember much about how I ended up here all I knew was that I heard a gun shot and then I passed out. As I struggled with my thoughts and my memories the bathroom door to the room that I had been in flew open and a tall mascular and a handsome man walked out.I couldn'tt help staring at this man and his mascular thighs. I looked at him from his head and slowly went down to his masculatr chest and his strong arms. However my eyes stopped moving as soon as I reached his mid section and I realized that he was butt naked and I was a little caught off guard by his penis as it hung free on his wet body. I quckly covered my eyes and won
AMBER’S POV When I woke up the following day I found myself being choked by the muscular man next to me, I remembered that sometime during the night I had fallen asleep after I gave up trying to get out of his chokehold. I looked at him and wondered how I had landed myself in this situation. I couldn’t stop cursing at Cain and Elder Marcus because they were the reason I was here. Why did I agree to this? I asked myself why I hadn't fought harder to get them to let me stay but then I remembered that I was told that I didn’t have a say in the matter. It was a decision that was made on my behalf by my self-appointed guardian.I tried once more to get out of his hold to avail and I sighed and looked at him in frustration, I considered waking him up but I just knew that waking him up was not going to do me any good. He was not going to let me go even if I asked. I wished he could just let me go so that I could go back home. As if the moon goddess (whom I still didn’t believe in) had heard
CHAD’S POV I had a very bad dream, in the dream, I had lost my mate and I was searching for her but I couldn’t find her. I searched for her everywhere I could think of but I just couldn’t find her. It was as if she had been taken from me by someone, someone that I had never seen before, someone who had no face. This particular person was no wolf and yet he seemed to think that he had some kind of claim over my mate. She seemed to want to go with him and although I fought for her as hard as I could I still lost her. It was like I had her one second and the next second she was gone. I woke up sweating and my eyes wide open as if I had just seen some kind of a monster. I was hoping that my dream wouldn’t become a reality as I woke up but I was greeted by an empty and cold side of the bed. I got off my bed and checked around the room hoping to see her but she wasn’t there. Where the hell could she have been? I had been holding on so tight to her the whole night and I couldn’t understand
AMBER’S POV Not only was the creep that was keeping me here my mate but he was also the king that I had been demanding to see. I can't even begin to explain how embarrassed I was when I discovered that he was the man that I had been demanding to see ever since I got here. the smirk on his face when he realized that I was shocked was disgusting to me and very infuriating. I didn’t even know what to do with the information that I had just received or how to react to it. On the one hand, I found myself feeling things that I knew that I had no business feeling for anyone and on the other hand I was on a mission, a mission that I couldn't afford to mess up because it was my chance to prove myself. I knew that if I didn’t complete this mission I would get in trouble back home. I was expected to be back with results and even though I had not been given a time frame and told how long I had to get these answers, I knew that I didn’t have much time. I was certain that there would be dire cons
AMBER’S POVMy celebration for the so-called king keeping his distance from me was short-lived because he was soon knocking on the door and demanding me to let him in. I tried to ignore him the first couple of times that he knocked on the door hoping that he would go away but he just persisted in knocking and wouldn't give up. My wolf reminded me that he probably had the spare key to the room and that he could break the door down if he wanted to but I refused to be bullied by my wolf and the king. My time here had been horrible so far but I tried to look on the bright side, which was the fact that despite the fact that Chad knew that I was an intruder he hadn't tried to interrogate me or even confine me to the room that I was in. I was in the room because I chose to stay on my own.If I was honest to myself I would have to admit the fact that I had gotten good treatment in the royal city, the treatment I received here was way better than what I h
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
