“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
“But I haven’t registered” I exclaimed “Are you Participating?” Fiona asked and I nodded. “You’ve already been registered” We all turned to see Nathan also wearing a cap and a mask just like Kayden. “Nathan” Fiona called out his name. He turned to her “I see you’ve run away from home again” I guess she has a thing for always running away from home. “I wanted to see you” “Liar” he replied and gave me a pink cat mask. “You will need this during the competition” I took it from him while staring at it weirdly. “You could have picked a better one,” Kayden said looking at the mask with an obvious irritation. “Girls love pink” Nathan gave a brief response. “Don’t tell me you both are forcing Amber to fight, I know it’s your idea Nathan” Amber scolded him. “The match has begun” Nathan walked away ignoring her. “Sometimes I just wish to punch him in the face” “Everyone does” Kayden replied as he held my hand and followed Nathan. “Wait for me” We got to the fighting arena and
I woke up feeling a slight pain in my shoulder, and I groaned. “Amber” “Mum” I was surprised to see my mum sitting beside me. “Mum” I called again as a stray tear fell from my eyes. “Yes baby, I am here” She pulled me into a hug and I remembered the last time we saw we had ended things on a bad note. She stroked my head “How are you feeling” “Better, now that you are here” We pulled away from the hug, and I looked at her with teary eyes “I am really sorry” “Shhh, it’s okay, I am just happy you are alright” she kissed me on my forehead “and I guess we were both wrong for not settling things before now” The door suddenly flew open. “Amber” Fiona cried out as she ran towards me enveloping me in a hug “I know the boys have been bullying you, but I never thought they would go this far” she ranted. “What happened last night was not expected” I looked up to see Kayden standing at the door as he replied to Fiona’s rant. “And what was the reason she participated in the competition”
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
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
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
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
