“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.

    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

    I got home to an empty house and the hope I had diminished.Walking to Kai’s study, I hoped he would let me clarify what had happened.I entered his office, this wasn't the first time I had seen his office, but it was the first I was looking at closely, now that I was the only one there.The study was big and spacious with a couch on each side of the room, and in the middle of the room were Kai’s desk and chair, beside his chair, and at the side of the office were shelves filled with books.I walked to the shelf behind his chair, since I was going to wait for him, I might as well keep myself busy by reading a book.I was looking through the books on the shelves when a book caught my attention from the corner of my eye.Sitting at the table was a really old looking book.I picked it up and read the title.“Curses” I read out loud, wondering what a book for witches was doing in Kai’s room.I opened the book to where it was bookmarked and saw a familiar curse. It was the mateless curse t

    My heart palpitated as I stood in front of his door, I took a deep breath and was about to knock when I heard a voice behind me.“What are you doing here” I swirled around to see Kayden standing in front of me.“Erm… I came to see you” I tried not to stumble on my words.“And I do not want to see you” he walked around me and entered his room, closing the door to my faceI just stared at the door flabbergasted, how was I going to apologize to him if he kept ignoring me?I mind linking him, but he blocked me out.I leaned closer to the door “Kayden” I called out his name but there was no response. “I know you can hear me,” There was still no response from him.I heard a voice coming from down the hallway.“Amber Amber” It was Fiona screaming my name, I hadn't seen her since after the ball.“Oh my poor baby” she got to me and pulled me into a hug. “I heard what happened” she patted my back trying to comfort me.“I am fine” I tried to release myself from the hug, “Are you sure” she frown

There Was no response from Preston but Kai replied.“It’s good to see you Alpha Conrad” he replied, making everyone turn to him.Preston was staring at him like he had grown an extra head.“The feeling is mutual” he then turned to me “It’s good to see you also Amber”I just forced a smile at him.“You know, I found out why you were scared of me on our first encounter” he stepped closer to me, and Preston took a defensive stance.Kai just leaned back, waiting for what he was going to do nex

    I was trapped beneath Kai as his lips covered mine. I don’t know what was happening, but he was acting strange, and compared to the kiss we shared earlier today, this seemed rough.He suddenly raised his head and cursed loudly before suddenly leaving the room, closing the door with a loud bang.I was left confused, everything that happened was in a blur, one minute he was kissing me and the next he was storming off.I was too stressed to think about anything and the room felt stuffy.I left Kai’s room, knowing that I was not going to be needed.I decided to go outside for some air and try to clear my head, everything that has been happening to me has been occurring in haste that I never really had time to comprehend.These last few days had been pretty eventful and to top it all I was going to be leaving this pack tomorrow.I got outside and was surprised to see Nathan sitting on a log, I did not feel like talking with any of the brothers right now, hell I could not even face Nathan.

    The silence in the room was deafening, the surprised look on everyone’s faces did not go unnoticed, Alpha Conrad was more shocked than everyone, I am sure he was already convinced that I wouldn’t accept the mate bond.Kayden suddenly erupted in laughter “You almost got us there”.“I am accepting the mate bond,” I said again and I think everyone was convinced that I was serious.Sitting in this room made me realize why my mother had not taken action to avenge our pack, if she had done that she would have war between the crescent pack and the dark moon pack leading to lots of casualties and deaths of people who know nothing about the feud.This was the only decision I could make, I had to keep my enemy closer to be able to strike and this was the only way.Accepting the mate bond will not grant me access to the blood moon pack, it will also make it easier with the kind of authority I was going to get from accepting the mate bond.“What are you talking about, you are going to agree to be

    I wondered why Preston would need both of us. “You don’t have to look disappointed, we can continue this next time” he teased. I glared at him, shoving his chest as I got up and was about to leave not wanting to spare a glance at him. “You may want to know why Preston is looking for you” I ignored him, it was better I asked Preston myself. “Your mate is here” He answered disregarding my unresponsive attitude. I froze hearing what Kai had said. The last thing I wanted to do was meet with the man I was repulsed by. Once again I could feel the pain in my chest as anger bubbled inside me. “Amber” I did not notice that Kai was now standing in front of me, he placed his hand on my shoulder and I looked up at him. “As much as I don't want you to meet him, Preston and I thought that it would be best if you sort this out with him” He was right, though I had always wanted to exact revenge on the person who orchestrated the demise of my pack. I had never expected that person to be my

    I was quiet throughout breakfast. Kayden, Matteo, and Marcus kept on talking about Kai after he left trying to recall which of the girls they had seen with Kai last night. I could hardly eat, and although Preston was paying the least attention to me, I was still being paranoid, I wondered what he thought of me. I just tossed my food around my plate lost in thought. As soon as I noticed Preston was done with breakfast and was leaving I quickly excused myself and followed him. “Preston” I called after him when he was at the foot of the stairs. He stopped abruptly and turned to me. As our eyes met, flashbacks from yesterday popped up in my head and I tried to brush it off. I stood in front of him, and I did not know where to start. “I am sorry about yesterday” I blurted out mindlessly. His gaze urged me to continue what I wanted to say as though he was lost. “About the kiss last night” I added and he only hummed in response. “I did not intend for anything to happen, I am really

    I tried to pry his mouth open with my lips but he did not budge, I ground my body against him and deepened the kiss, suddenly, I got a response from him, and he started kissing me. I was living in the moment as I sucked on his button lips, and my upper lips were in his mouth. Our lips moved together, as I parted my lips and I felt his tongue slide into my mouth. I moaned, feeling myself becoming wet, I was hot and I really wanted more. His tongue was exploring my mouth and my tongue touched his also as they entwined with our lips continuously moving. He slid his tongue on my lower lips, and nibbled on it, sucking it and tugging on it as it was in his mouth, I could only moan into the kiss as he shoved his tongue once again into my mouth. I wanted more, I removed my hands from around his neck and went to his shirt, unbuttoning it. I was at the fourth button, my hands tracing his chest when he suddenly held my hand stopping me, and withdrew from the kiss. “We will be stopping he

    My head was in turmoil, and amidst my euphoric feeling, I felt a sharp pain in my chest, I could hardly breathe, and I clutched my chest as I was overwhelmed with a different kind of feeling, pain, anger, resentment. “Amber, Amber” I suddenly realized that Kai was holding me and calling out my name. “Amber, try to breathe,” Kai shouted as I gasped for air clutching my chest. Tears flowed down my cheeks and I felt like I would pass out from my overriding emotions. I felt Kai hugging me as he pulled me close, and rubbed his hand on my back trying to calm me. I tried to breathe as I was in his embrace, and could finally get air to pass through my lungs. But I could not stop myself from crying and neither could I stop the pain I was feeling. “What happened” I could make out Preston’s voice as I was still in Kai’s embrace, clutching onto his shirt not wanting him to let go of me, not also wanting to face my mate. “Alpha Kai, Alpha Preston” I heard his voice giving me gooseb

    We got to the ball, and I was awed by how people filled the large hall. I have never attended any ball, so this was breathtaking, I can't believe I almost missed this. Fiona held my hand “Your mate awaits” She dragged me into the hall as I admired the intricate designs and the ray of colors coming from everyone's clothes. Kayden was beside us, so it was easy to get through the ground as everyone greeted him and made way for him. Everything was going smoothly for Kayden until the ladies noticed him and crowded him trying to get his attention, making him end up separating from us. “Don’t go too far” Kayden mindlinked me. “I won’t,” I replied to him. “We’ve finally gotten rid of him” Fiona laughed as she dragged me away “You know, most ladies from other packs don't really come here to find their mate” “Why, I thought everyone comes to the mating ball to find their mate” I asked confused. “They do, but not everyone, I am sure you know that the brothers don't have a mate, somethi
