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
His eyes were on me and he growled, making me jerk in my seat.“Why is she here” he spat out“She is Caren’s daughter” “She is a rogue, and rogues are meant to be in the cell” “Kai, she is not a rogue,” Preston said. I could feel the tension in the room.I could not say anything although they were talking about me, I knew that anything I was going to say was not going to help me in this situation.“You need not worry, I will take full responsibility for any of her actions” Preston tried to convince Kai.Ignoring Preston, he walked to me, I feared what he was going to do next.He grabbed my hands, pulled me off my seat, and dragged me out of the room. I looked at the rest of them sitting at the table, but it seemed that it could not be helped.I turned to Kai who was furiously dragging me out of the room.His grip on my hand was painful and it was the same bruised part of my wrist he held.I don't know what is with the brothers and gripping my wrist like they were going to snap it.S
“It’s Kairav” I immediately completed the name, seeing that I had pissed him off.Kai closed the refrigerator with a loud bang, and I was surprised it did not fall apart. He walked out of the kitchen, and I could not tell if he was mad at me.“Kairav is a nice name,” Matteo patted the rabbit's head.“Kai was pissed”“He did not let me finish” I replied Kayden and Preston chuckled.“You are really interesting” he stood up from his chair “I look forward to spending more time with you. Amber” he smiled at me before leaving.Preston was different from the rest of the brothers, he wasn’t cold like Kai or cheerful like Marcus and Matteo, he gave me this warm feeling but he looked cold.I was about to take a pancake from the plate and noticed that my plate was empty.“Matteo” Kayden shouted at Matteo who was about to leave the room.“Thanks for the breakfast” he smiled before running outside.After breakfast, Kayden decided to take me to the mall and Matteo told me he was going to take care
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

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
