“Amber” Preston called out my name worried “You are awake”I nodded awkwardly, my fingers entwined as I stood in front of them feeling nervous. “You are Caren’s daughter,” The man beside Preston said with a smile.I nodded, not still able to form any words with Kai’s piercing gaze still on me.“I am Andrew, the boy's father”I gasped as I lowered my head, I am currently facing the former Alpha of this pack.“No need for formalities, you are also my daughter, Caren told me a lot about you, she is really worried about you, you can come see her anytime, and I will be looking forward to know Caren’s beloved daughter” his tone was warm “I have something urgent to deal with, I will be excusing myself. And if the boys ever trouble you, you can tell me anytime. Especially Kai” he whispered the last part to me with a smile and left.Kai rolled his eyes, he clearly heard what his father had told me. I haven’t spoken to Mum since our last argument and it made me feel guilty, being in this pack
The tension in the room grew as they both stared at me. How was I going to pick between them? I did not want to hurt any of their feelings.“You can put your number in my phone.” I hoped that it would be settled.“Even if you picked Preston, I was still going to put it anyway,” Kayden replied, tapping his numbers on the phone. “I just wanted to hurt his ego if you had picked me”I sighed, it was easy to get out of this situation, feeling the atmosphere in the room had gotten better, I went ahead to eat, I was really starving.“Try the roasted lamb, I really put a lot of effort into it,” Kayden said, shoving a chunk into my already filled mouth.“Kayden” I shouted at him, but it came out as a muffle, since my mouth was filled.He smiled and patted my head while I glared at him.“Let's go out today after your lunch”“No” I turned to Preston who had replied on my behalf.“No?” Kayden repeated Preston’s reply, “Amber does not need your permission” “Amber and I have plans today,” Preston
“Get a room” “We are in a room, don't you think you are the one invading our privacy” Preston replied nonchalantly.I quickly removed my hands from Preston’s shirt and hurriedly got off the bed.“Preston has something urgent to attend to, so we will be leaving first” I grabbed Marcus's hand and dragged him out of the room.“I think you are going the wrong way” Marcus stated as I kept on dragging him away, I suddenly stopped realizing I didn't even know where his lab was.“Sorry,” I replied, hiding my red face.“I will lead the way” Marcus replied leading the way, and I followed him, my head still down as I tried to cool my heated face.“Ouch” My head suddenly bumped into someone and I looked up and noticed Marcus had stopped walking and was now staring at me.“I can carry you if you are still feeling weak,” he suggested, looking worriedly at my face.“No” I replied immediately not wanting to be more embarrassed than I already was.“If you say so” he stretched out his hand to me and I
Marcus stood in front of me blocking the entrance of the door “Are you okay” I nodded, “what's in there?” I looked into the room.“It's just my experiment room” he turned to close the door immediately, and I got this strange feeling that it wasn't just any experiment room, the vibe coming from the room was worse than Matteo's poisonous garden.“Can you show me what's inside?” I asked Marcus, who was still standing in front of the door.“Are you going to take no for an answer”I shook my head.He sighed “Why do I keep agreeing to everything you ask”I smiled “Because I am your favorite sister”“You are my only sister,” he corrected.“But still your favorite”“Don’t let Preston know I took you in here, he warned me not to show you the room” “I am good with secrets” I winked at him.“I am going to regret this” he mumbled under his breath as he proceeded to open the door “If you feel uncomfortable in there, tell me and we will leave”“You have nothing to worry about, some room can't fr
I stepped backward, making my back hit the door. I had to keep my eyes from straying to his torso.It was hard to look at anywhere but him, especially when I kept taking a look at his perfectly toned abs.“I don't want to repeat myself” Kai’s cold voice sounded again, then I remembered he had asked me a question.“Marcus told me to give this to you” I stretched out my quivering hand while I was holding the bottle.“Is this the only reason you came here?” he asked, giving me a taunting look.I was about to say yes, but remembered that I had taken the truth serum and I could not lie.“Yes” I gasped out, surprised that I was able to lie, but I was hit with a sharp pain in my head, making me grimace and I suddenly started sweating.Kai smirked and stepped closer to me, where the hell was he moving to. I screamed in my head, knowing I could not move backward.His hand moved to touch my forehead, making me drop the bottle because I was startled, but luckily Kai caught it before it could hit
“Preston” I shrieked“Hold onto me” he suddenly jumped, making me wrap my hands around him.“What the hell are you doing” I asked as he climbed the building and got to the roof top.“You can let go of me now” I realized I was holding onto him as though my life depended on him.“why are we here" I asked as he placed me down." I love coming here most times" he replied sitting on the roof and tapping the space next to him.I sat beside him and looked at the sun setting." Isn't it beautiful" he was also looking at the sun setting." It is" I replied. The scene in front of me was picture perfect, the sun setting behind the trees in the slightly illuminated forest."I do come here when I want to clear my head or I feel like being alone" he was looking ahead, still enjoying the scenery, he looked so calm like nothing around him mattered."And you brought me here""I promised to come back didn't I" he turned to face me."I thought you wouldn't"" I never break my promises and I did come bec
Last night, after the conversation with Preston, he carried me back to my room before leaving and I really had a lot to think about before I slept.The next day after breakfast, I decided to wait for Kayden at the parking lot to take me to work.I was grateful that he was always consistent in taking me to work every morning although he always had a busy schedule.“Amber” I turned to see Shawn walking towards me.“We will be going to work together, from now on” he got to me, holding his keys to his motorcycle.“What about Kayden,” I asked, “He is busy with work” Shawn took my hand leading me to his motorcycle, but suddenly my hand was yanked from Shawn’s, I looked up to see a not too happy Kayden.“She is going with me” He was behaving like an overprotective boyfriend.“I heard Kai assigned you to a mission this morning”“He did, but I need to take Amber to work first”“I can help you with that”“It’s not like I complained” Kayden was leading me to his car“I work at the same diner as
“Please save me Alpha '' she whimpered in front of Kai, like a drenched puppy. If not for the gazes I was receiving from my boss and Kai, I would have laughed at how pathetic and ridiculous her acting was.But something about Mr Baldwin’s gaze made me feel exposed“What the hell happened here?” Mr Baldwin asked and June was quick to reply.“I was about to bring this glass of water to table nine but I didn’t see Amber coming and slipped making the water pour on her, she did not let me explain and hit me” She showed them her face while she sobbed.Does she really think anyone would be so stupid to believe her forged story?“Amber to my office now” Mr Baldwin commanded. I take back my word, I guess Mr Baldwin is stupid enough to believe her.It was good that Kai hadn't said anything, so I wanted to leave here to avoid his gaze.I was about to leave without complaining but just when I thought he would not interfere, he did.“I will handle everything Mr Baldwin” he statedMr Baldwin chuckl
