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

    I stepped backward confused, while he seemed amused.“I don’t understand” “Haven't you figured it out yet” “I don't understand what you are saying, I have already agreed to allow you to sleep in my room” I stated, wondering what the hell he was trying to imply.He stepped closer again “You've got it all wrong wild cat” Why the hell was he moving closer?“How about you just explain it to me?” I asked, tired of going through circles and backing away from his intimidating presence.“How will you be able to hold your own side of the deal, if you keep moving backward” he raised his brows.“You keep coming closer” I retorted and he stopped.“Then let me break it down to you, if you decide to help me sleep, you will have to sleep with me”I instinctively covered my chest with my hands. Pervert was the first word that came to my mind.I heard a throaty chuckle from him “Why do you look as though I asked you to have sex with me”“That's definitely what you sounded like” I gave him a wary lo

    I used my hands to cover my chest, giving him a wary look.“Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you, you are not even my type anyways” he was trying to mock me.“And neither are you,” I retorted.“Then come over here” he tapped the space beside him on the bed.“That’s not what we agreed on” “The contract said we were going to sleep together” Hearing him saying it like that, anyone could misunderstand him.“I only agreed to stay in the same room with you”“Sleeping together and staying together in a room are two different wildcat things” he stated “You’ve already signed the contract” he reminded me gesturing to the empty space beside him.I knew I was going to regret this, I sighed deeply, finding my resolve, I held tightly onto the pocket knife, not that it could help if Kai wanted to harm me, but at least it gave a sign of not being helpless.I strutted to the bed, trying not to gaze at the shirtless Alpha before me, I lay at the corner of the bed and stealthily placed the pocket kn

    Waking up to the loud knocking on the, I yawned lazily, sitting on the bed, while stretching my hand.“Amber, are you up” I heard my name being called from the other side of the door.“Yes,” I replied lazily rubbing my hands over my eyes to adjust to the light in the room.“Come down for breakfast,” it was Kayden as usual making sure I had breakfast after I had refused to have dinner last night.“I will” I replied, my stomach grumbling at the mention of breakfast.“Hurry” I heard his receding footsteps as I got up from bed and headed to the bathroom to brush my teeth.After brushing and washing up my face I dragged my feet down the stairs, anticipating breakfast.I got into the dining room and met Kayden, Preston, and the twins.Kayden was serving breakfast, while Preston was drinking his coffee while reading a file.Matteo and Marcus were arguing over something and they all turned to me when I entered the dining room, except Preston.“I was worried, you would also miss breakfast” Kayd

    I fiddled with the hem of the shirt while trying to avoid their gaze, hell I didn’t even know where to start or how to explain to them what had happened last night.Preston suddenly stood up “If she doesn’t want to talk about it, we shouldn’t pressure her” he broke the silence, I was slightly relieved, but I knew I still had to tell them about the deal I made with Kai.“Preston is right, I am sure all this interrogation will make her lose her appetite” Kayden agreed with Preston.“Come on now, don’t be a killjoy, she was just about to tell us” Marcus Whined.“Read the room” Matteo whispered to Marcus, who stood up and dragged the reluctant Marcus out of the dining room.Preston took the file that he was reading and left the room, leaving his half filled cup of coffee. Right now Kayden and I were the only ones in the dining room.“If you are not eating, I am going to feed you,” Kayden said, sliding me away from my thoughts.“Aren’t you going to leave with them?” I asked him, seeing tha

    Preston's reflexes were so good that I had barely glanced at Kai.“I doubt you forgot how to knock” I heard Kai’s voice.“Go put on some clothes” Preston scowled, his hand still behind my head preventing me from turning.The smell of his cologne filled my nose, and I instinctively leaned in, feeling the warmth of his body, I sniffed his shirt and I immediately felt a reverberation underneath his shirt.I glanced up and saw him smiling down at me, my face heated up and I lowered my head, burying my face in his chest, trying to hide my embarrassment.I had literally sniffed him loudly, I felt like running out of here, and there was Kai who was naked behind me.I heard footsteps, and shuffling of clothes from behind me. “You don't need to shield her, it's not like she did not see me last night” he was definitely making everything a lot worse.“Get dressed, we need to talk,” Preston said. He was smiling a second ago, and I knew he had returned to his stoic facade. He dragged me away fro

    I had training sessions with Nathan, but after going to our usual training spot, I could not find him there, waited for some time, and Kayden decided we had to go home and suggested maybe Nathan had something urgent he had to do, I have had the same thought because Nathan never misses any of our training sessions, hell he never comes late. Kayden took me back home, and I was surprised to see Nathan who we had both thought was busy sitting idle, watching TV. I proceeded to stand in front of him, blocking the TV. “Do you want something?” Nathan asked in a bored tone, as though he had completely forgotten we were supposed to be training right now. “You missed training sessions today” I replied placing my hands on my waist “I thought you were busy, but obviously you aren’t” “You don’t need the training sessions again if you don’t have a reason for it, don’t you agree?” He asked. “What do you mean” “You’ve finally been accepted into the pack, which puts an end to our training sessio

    “Here try this” Kayden gave me a stick with fruits coated with caramelized sugar, he was wearing a mask and a cap while concealing his aura so as not to be noticed by people. We were currently at the festival, Kayden was showing me around, while I just felt anxious as I followed him. The duel with Kayden last night was an absolute fail, I was unable to enact what he had taught me, making me more agitated. I had pleaded with him that we needed to go more rounds but he just assured me that I was going to do well in the competition. “Amber, are you listening” “Yeah,” I replied, sliding away from my thoughts. “I have been talking for some time now and you were not responding, is this still because of the competition” he asked giving me a worried look. I nodded “I guess so” “You know what, you don't need to join the competition, I will speak to Nathan” “You don't need to do that, like you said it’s participating that matters” I replied grateful for his thoughtfulness. “If you kno

    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
