~Amara~"I don't know,I just walked in few seconds ago and found her coughing.Maybe she feels thirsty,do you need some water,Amara?I can fetch you some,you know."The witch shrugged nonchalantly and pretended to be so caring and I couldn't believe it.She just choked me a few seconds ago and she was the reason why I was coughing yet she pretended as though she was innocent and put on an act.I could tell that she was afraid of the man who had just walked into the room a few seconds ago by how she behaved and talked in his presence.Even though I had never met Fernando or came face to face with him,I could tell that he was the man standing in front of me with bodyguards.He was the only person who could make people shiver the same way he did to Sandra.I wanted to laugh out loud but chose to keep my mouth shut.It was funny how things had changed in a blink of an eye.Who would have thought that there was someone who could make Sandra that obedient?She looked like a real devil just a few mi
~Amara~"Nico is my fated mate!You have no power to take him from me or to choose for him who is supposed to be with!"I said through gritted."We will see about that."He said and the corner of his lips curved into a wicked smile,"You're so sturbborn like your father.I see the root runs deep.I wanted to trade with your father but he was so sturbborn and it resulted to his mate's death.I see you're no different from him."I exhaled in anger and tried for the hundredth time to free myself from the claws of the cruel Alpha but all my struggles was in vain just like others.The corner of his lips curved into a smile as he watched me try my very best to get free from him.It reminded me of how Patricia explained to my Dad that he always took young ladies and made them his sex slaves and the thought of it sent shivers down my spine.How dare Fernando tell me that he would never allow me to have Nico and he was my fated mate?I think he had talked with Sandra and agreed that she would be mated t
~Patricia~I stood in Fernando's office as I waited for him to come.I took the opportunity to look around the office, trying to dig in my mind and remember how it looked two decades ago.Nothing had changed really in his office, except the new crown chair which was made of pure gold and there was some extra art on the wall.The castle had grown old over the years compared to years ago.My heart twisted inside my chest painfully as though someone was squeezing it into a tiny ball and it was becoming hard for me to breath.I momentarily closed my eyes and sucked in plenty of air to fill my lungs.Being in Fernando's office reminded me of how I was brought in his pack when ours was seized with his men.They brought me and my parents to his office to prove that indeed they had overthrown our pack and that was the beginning of our suffering.Being in Lakeside pack at the moment opened the wounds that I had been nursing for over two decades and it felt so painful like it never healed in the fir
~Patricia~I was taken back by Fernando's words.I could feel pain in his voice with each word that slipped out of his lips.I could see it in those brown Hazel eyes too."How does it feel to lose a family member?"I asked him the most painful question that someone would ever ask the other,the corner of my lips curving into a smile."How did it feel to watch your daughters,son and your wife's life slip from their veins and there was nothing you could do to stop it?How did it feel when you knew that you are never going to see them ever again?How did it feel to lose the ones that you loved so much?How does it feel to be left all alone without someone to rely on?How does it feel to walk into your child's room and every single thing that you lay your eyes on reminds you of him/her?Come on,tell me.How does it feel?"I asked,my voice low but loud enough for him to hear every single word that came from my lips.Those words reminded me of the past.How Fernando slaughtered my mate when I was watchi
~Amara~I gave Patricia's hand a tight squeeze when I heard the bastard's words and I could tell that he meant whatever he had just said.He wasn't going to let me go unless he gets back Nico.My jaw twitched when I gave it a deeper thought.I didn't want the bastard anywhere near my mate. I was afraid that he would infect my Nico with his behaviour.I was afraid that he would turn Nico into a cold-blooded murderer like him.I just hoped that if it ever happened that Nico lived with Fernando,he would never follow his wicked ways because it made me sick to the guts.I couldn't imagine Nico slaughtering someone's neck without mercy…“You're despicable!I told you a thousand times that there is no way I'm going to allow you to have my son?NEVER!”Patricia said protectively and I could tell that she was so serious about what she meant.“Nico doesn't deserve to have someone like…”I was still talking when the door clicked open and a man walked inside the room then walked to Fernando and whispered
~Amara~“I'm so sorry princess,I don't have a choice.''Dad said and looked at me with apologetic eyes.He was holding a poisonous dagger against Nico's neck,using him as his hostage.The dagger was just inches away from his neck and the sight of it sent shivers down my spine.I was afraid that the dagger would pierce through Nico's flesh if he moved even a little bit.“Nico?”I whispered his name and he turned his eyes towards me since he couldn't risk turning his head to look at me fully.“Dad please let him go.Please don't hurt my mate…”I begged desperately and tried to slip from Fernando's grip but he held me in place.“Let me go!”I screamed at Fernando desperately.I wanted to go and save my mate from my Dad if I had to.“Abraham?”Patricia called in a low voice and looked at my dad with creased eyes and confusion was evident in her green eyes.I could tell that she was confused as much as I was.“I'm so sorry, Trisha.”Dad told her and I saw tears in Patricia's eyes.She couldn't believe
~Nicholas~“No!I'm not going without Nico!”I watched Amara struggle to fight Luke to let her free so that she could take me with her.Her actions only proved to me how much she loved me and wanted us to be together.She was willing to do anything and everything to be with me.Amara was fighting for us just like she promised me every time we could talk about our dreams, struggles and wishes.She even ignored her father's command when he asked her to reject me and I had choice but to do it…I know Amara was worried about me.She was afraid that something bad would happen if I stayed in the Lakeside pack.Leon howled in my head when he heard our mate crying.He could feel it through the mate bond and so did I.I felt the pain of every single tear that rolled down her cheeks.Even though I had rejected Amara,I could feel her emotions through the mate bond.I think the bond between us was not so easy to break because we are both Alphas.“Nico,don't you love me anymore?Why was it so easy for you to
~Nicholas~The soldiers looked at each other and remained standing,”I said kill him!”Fernando repeated his statement from earlier,this time louder so that his warriors could hear what he was saying Incase they didn't hear him the first time.“Are you deaf or something?”He looked at his warriors who looked back at him as though he was some stranger giving them orders.I saw veins pop on his forehead as he got angrier because his warriors ignored him.Slowly,Alpha Abraham turned around,taking his time.He looked at Alpha Fernando with a raised eyebrow,the corner of his lips curving into a smile.My mother stopped crying when she saw what was going on.She looked at me in confusion then looked at Alpha Abraham.“I think you will never change, Fernando.You’re still the same Fernando from two decades ago.A deal breaker, cruel and ruthless.Why do you want my head even after I have given you whatever you wanted?What more do you want?To take my pack over and mine all the gold,silver,and gemstones
