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
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 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.
We got to the pack house where Alpha Conrad was waiting in front of his car with his Beta as we approached them.Kai and Preston had decided to see me off, while I knew that Preston was going to be here, I least expected Kai.He was in a really good mood this morning making me wonder why, last night his attitude was different and made me think he would not want to see me at all.We got to where Alpha Conrad was standing and he was grinning from ear to ear.“Alpha Kai, Alpha Preston” he acknowledged. 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
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
Amber“Amber you should be careful, entering another pack’s territory means instant death” Aunt Kelly would always tell me.After our pack was attacked seven years ago, Aunt Kelly and I have been living as rogues.My dad was the beta of our pack and he died when I was only five during a war.My mum and brother protected me while Aunt Kelly and I fled when our pack was raided. They both promised to come look for us when everything was over, but little did I know that it was the last time I was going to see them.I crouched, hiding between the grass, while aiming at the rabbit who was chewing on a leaf, without a care in the world.My stomach grumbled thinking of all the dishes we could make from this.Living as a lone wolf was difficult, but Aunt Kelly always tried her best to make it adventurous and fun.We stayed in a small cottage which was exposed to different climates, with less food to eat.Although sometimes it was hard to keep on living like this but my goal kept me moving, re
The floor was cold and hard, and my body was sore, it was as though I had been pricked with several needles.I did not die.That was the first thought that ran through my head.I looked around the dark room, the pungent smell of blood filled the room, it was no doubt that I was in a cell.If I was in a cell, it means I was captured, but by whom.Trying to recall everything that happened, I suddenly remembered his name.Alpha Kai.His name alone brought people to their knees.He was the alpha of the Crescent pack, everyone knew that the crescent pack holds a lot of power, they were the most feared pack having six Alphas.That’s right, Alpha Kai has five brothers, that is one of the reasons the pack was feared.There was once a rumour that Alpha Kai had killed his mate which made people fear him more.Soulmates were like your other half, someone who completes you, but he killed his mate which proved how ruthless he was.It still surprises me that he kept me alive.Just thinking about be
The house was huge, it looked more of a castle than a house, I was still amazed by how beautiful it was.“Come on in,” he said, walking towards the entrance of the house.I stopped admiring the house as I followed him.He stopped at the door, as it opened and we were greeted by a girl, wearing a maid uniform.She bowed to him “welcome Al….”“Where is Preston?” Kayden asked, cutting her short.“He is yet to return” she replied“This is Amber, Caren’s daughter, please show her to her room” She bowed at him in response Kayden turned to me “freshen up and come down, I will introduce you to the boys”“Boys? Do you mean your brothers”He nodded “I am sure you will get along with them”“If they are like you then it’s impossible” “Just admit it, you like me”“In your dreams” I replied as I walked away, with the maid leading me.“See you soon wildcat” I heard him say after me.I was led through the stairs, the interior of the house was so huge that it could be mistaken for a castle.We got
