~Amara~Nicholas gritted his teeth when he heard my words. I was provoking him so that he would go to train with me. I just wanted Nico and Luke to be friends because I know they have never liked each other from the first day."Okay!"He said in a bold voice and stood up from the wooden chair that he was sitting on. He was wearing black pants and a loose shirt.My lips curved into a smile when I heard him respond since my plan had worked."What will you give me if I prove to you that I'm much better than Luke?"He asked with a raised eyebrow and the corner of his lips curved into a wicked smile. There was no doubt that whatever was going through his damn head was something…"That is a secret…"I winked at him and a deep frown settled on his face."Come on, we need to get going. I know Luke is waiting for us in the training field! I don't want to keep him waiting for that long."I informed Nicholas."Where are the two of you going?"Patricia asked us with creased eyebrows when we stepped foot
~Amara~Nico nodded hesitantly at my words."All I want is for you to be safe, Nicholas. I was just joking when I told you that Luke is better than you.I didn't mean that you should get into a fight with him to find out who is better than the other."I said and Nico relaxed when he heard my words."But I still failed you, Amara. I promise I will continue training so that I can get better. I know you need a strong mate…"He paused and heaved a deep sigh,running his fingers through his jet-black hair.I wrapped my hands around Nicholas and he hugged me back tightly. I didn't want him to feel like a failure because Luke won the fight"It's okay, we will be doing it together so that we can get stronger together." I reasoned out.Nico smiled when he heard my words.He cradled my face and looked me deep in the eyes."I don't know what I ever did to deserve a mate like you, Amara. Sometimes I feel like I don't deserve you.I feel like a failure and unworthy to be with you."Nico confessed, caressin
~Amara~Nicholas pulled off when he heard my words and more tears flowed from my eyes. What was wrong with him? Did it mean that he didn't want me the same way I wanted him? I couldn't help but wonder."It's okay if you don't…"My voice broke at the end of the statement and I wiped tears from my eyes using the back of my hand. I just wished all the strange feelings could stop so that I could get back to living a normal life."It's not that I don't want, Amara."Nico brushed the hair from my face, "Why are you pulling away then? You know what, just leave my room! I can handle it on my own."I roared and Nicholas looked surprised when he heard my words.I stood up from the cold floor with an aching body but Nico wrapped his hands around me so tightly from behind as though he was afraid that I would disappear into thin air."It's not that I don't want you, Amara.Is it just that…I don't know if indeed you want us to do it or if it's just the heat that is messing you up.I don't want you to reg
~Amara~I waited for some time but still, there was no response. I climbed from the bed and slid into my fluffy slippers then walked out of the room."Nico?"I opened the door of his room and peeked but there was no sign of life inside the room. I closed the door and heaved a deep sigh, wondering where he might be.Since he wasn't anywhere to be seen upstairs, I decided to descend the grand staircase and my heart pounded wildly against my ribcage with each step that I took towards the ground floor.A sweet aroma clouded my nostrils as soon as I reached the ground floor and my mouth water immediately.The aroma smelled more like Patricia's cooking and I couldn't help but frown, wondering if they had come back home already.I Walked to the kitchen and my lips curved into a smile when I laid my eyes on Nicholas. He looked so serious as he cooked something which I didn't have any idea about.He was wearing a white apron and his hair was tied into a tight ponytail.He was acting so sweet and
~Amara~A groan of annoyance escaped my lips when the siren noise of the alarm pierced through the quiet air.I wanted to sleep some more.However, I didn't want to miss classes because exams are around the corner. I can't afford to fail the exams because it's my last year on campus.Heaving a deep sigh,I climbed down from the bed,grabbed the towel from the closet and headed to the bathroom to take a quick shower.When I was done in the bathroom, I went back to my room and changed into black skinny jeans, a white shirt and white sneakers.I picked up my backpack and headed downstairs for breakfast.I was welcomed with a sweet aroma and my mouth watered. I headed straight to the kitchen to taste Patricia's delicious pancakes."Hmmm..that smells…"I choked on my words when my eyes fell on my father hugging Patricia so tightly from behind while joking around.The sight of it reminded me of old days when I was a little girl.Sometimes,I would walk to the room and found my mother and dad playing
~Amara~ Nicholas wrapped his strong arms around me and I felt protected from the cruelty that the universe emitted.I wanted to stay in his warm and comforting embrace forever. However, I had no choice but to pull off.I felt embarrassed when I realised that there were tear droplets on Nicholas's chest,my tears. Who would understand me if not Nico? That's why I cried in his arms.It was because I knew we shared the same pain.I watched as Nicholas wore the white polo shirt. His muscles flexed as he moved his arms and it made me swallow hard but pretended as though it didn't affect me that much.Nico didn't have to try that hard to turn me on,simple gestures were enough for him to make my heart pound wildly against my ribcage."I think you forgot something," Nicholas informed me when I was about to twist the metallic doorknob and walk out of his room.I stopped and turned around with creased eyebrows,"Forgot something? What is it?"I asked in confusion because I couldn't wrap my head aroun
~Amara~"It's because you're the one who came up with the fucking stupid challenge, Luke! You know pretty well that my father and your father are against it, but what did you do? You went against their words and I had to cover up for you when Patricia asked what happened to Nicholas!"I paused to catch my breath."What was the need for the two of you to fight? What did you gain from the fight besides bleeding and broken lips? Was it necessary to know who is stronger than the other?"I scolded Luke and he was quiet for a while."I know it was wrong, okay. I just wanted Nicholas to know that I'm better than him.I wanted to keep him in his place."Luke shrugged nonchalantly. His answer made me more furious and I fisted my hands."Why? Why would you want to prove that you're better than him? We have been training together all these years, Luke. I know you're among the best in our pack. You don't need to prove it to anyone."I tried to knock some sense into his head.I couldn't understand why L
~Amara~Taking a deep breath to calm my racing heart, I knocked on the wooden mahogany door and Mrs Pamela granted me the permission.Her angelic voice reminded me of the last time she was so pissed off because I was involved in a fight and the thought of it sent chills down my spine. I just hope that this time is not another scolding.I don't want my father to come to campus again.Mrs. Pamela was busy going through the biology textbook when I entered her office. It was deadly silent, even a pin drop could be heard. Slowly, she raised her head and looked at me. I could hear my heart thumping wildly against my ribcage.However, I tried to put on a smile despite the nervousness."Amara Hernandez, Please have a seat."She gestured for me to sit on the wooden chair opposite from her.I looked at the chair and then nodded hesitantly, offering me a chair only meant one thing.That we are going to have a lengthy conversation, something that I wasn't prepared for."I know you're wondering why I c

~Nicholas~THREE DAYS LATER“Do you think that I would lie to king Abraham?”The former Lycan king asked me with a raised brow.I could feel anger in his voice even though he was trying his best to stay cool.“I didn't want to believe it and that is why I decided to come all the way here to find out ,your highness.I didn't want to make assumptions.”I explained politely and it was quiet for a while.“Abraham and everyone who I have worked with know me well.I don't lie to make allies.I didn't have any idea that one of Fernando's sons survived!”He said through gritted teeth.I could tell that he was still furious at him even though he has been dead for years.“I wouldn't have let him be if I knew he was alive!”He fisted his hands until the knuckles turned white.“To prove that I don't have anything to do with his survival,”He paused, then heaved a deep sigh.He looked at me and I could feel the strength that he was emitting.For some reason,I felt intimidated with him but I pretended as tho
~Nicholas~My heart got heavy at the sight of their sad faces.My wife had all the right to be worried because I,myself didn't know what to expect at the Lycan's kingdom.I pulled Amara in my arms and she hugged me so tightly,”I promise that I will come back to you and our kids.”My grip around her only tightened.Even though I was making a promise to my wife,I wasn't sure if I could keep it.It's just that…I didn't want to see her that sad because the mere sight of it caused a heartache.Amara wiped tears from her eyes with a smile,I think she got too emotional and she couldn't stop tears from falling. I crouched then held our twins hands.They looked so sad,”Daddy needs to take care of something.”I paused and heaved a deep sigh.“Are you coming back to us soon?”Angelina asked with a pout,”I can't assure you anything because I don't know how much time it will take,Angel.”She made a sad face when she heard my words.“I promise that I will come back as soon as I'm done taking care of eve
~Nicholas~“It's hard to answer that question because I don't know either.”Luke heaved a deep sigh,”Maybe he was able to escape unnoticed during the war between Lycans and Fernando.Who knows?”He shrugged nonchalantly.Luke's words made some sense.I didn't want to judge the Lycan king without finding out the whole truth.I recalled Dad telling me that the quality of a good leader is finding out the reason behind everything that happened and that was my intention.As much as I wanted to conclude that perhaps the Lycan king played a trick on Dad,I wanted to find out the damn truth!And it fucking pissed me off that Fernando's son was getting in my way of leading Silver kingdom.Getting into war with the rogues meant that our kingdom will be affected in some way.War is not something to be happy about even though our kingdom has the resources and the strongest army.“I think Fernando's son has been preparing to claim back his father's territory for the last seven years.He has been waiting f
~Nicholas~“I thought so too,”I heaved a deep sigh and ran my fingers through my already messy hair.“I will look into it first thing tomorrow morning.”Luke said with determination.”That's right,you need to find out so that we can be sure about it.”Dad said and I could feel the uneasiness in his voice.The dead warrior's bodies were carried away in respect and taken to the camp's morgue where the bodies of warriors who died in war are preserved.Dad and I went back to the castle,it was in the middle of the night.Each one of us had so many questions that needed answers…My mother,Amara and the twins rushed to us as soon as we entered the castle and I was happy to see them alive and without any scratch.“Daddy,you're bleeding.”Angelina said as tears streamed down her cheeks.She looked terrified and I couldn't help but smile.I bent over and kissed her on the forehead.“You don't need to worry because Daddy is alright,just a little scratch.”I assured my daughter but she couldn't stop cry
~Nicholas~Few days have already passed since I was crowned as the new king of Silver kingdom.My men and I have been so busy taking care of the business proposals that were brought to us by the Alphas from other packs.We want every single business proposal to be worthwhile and that is why we are giving it full attention.It has to be beneficial to our kingdom so that we can continue to grow stronger economically.I have to admit that being a king of such a big kingdom and the most powerful among wolves ain't easy.Dad must be a beast to deal with all this.It has only been a few days but I felt drained.It's not that I am complaining or anything,I'm just stating facts.I am grateful that Dad is helping me out even though he retired.I consult him about crucial things since I don't want to make any mistake that will cost our kingdom.He is always ready and willing to help.I know I will get used to all this, it's just a matter of time…__________“Your highness,the kingdom is under attack.
~Luke~Damn it!I know she was mad at me because I stayed at the party for that long.I know I broke the promise since I had told her that I won't be staying for that long when she left.But what was I supposed to do?I had a lot of deals to close with Alpha's from other packs and talk to betas.I didn't expect that the conversation would drag.Now that I'm the new beta of Silver kingdom, it's my duty to take care of all beta duties because my dad had finally retired and handed me over the position.I have been helping out my Dad with the beta duties and I always watched closely how he handled everything.He took the duty to teach me as well because he wanted me to be ready when the time comes…I wrapped my strong arms around Arabella from behind and I heard her take a sharp breath.I liked it!I'm happy that my touch still affected her that strongly.Even though she was mad at me,she couldn't deny the effect that I had on her.She can be pissed off with me,however it was hard for her to ig
~Arabella~“What I mean is that…”I paused to catch a breath,”Are you planning to ever fall in love again?It has been seven years since we moved into Silver kingdom.”I held her hands in mine then gave them a little squeeze.Silence reigned the room once again,even a pin drop could be heard.My mother pulled her hands from mine and heaved a deep sigh.“To be honest,I have never given it a thought.I’m fine just the way I'm.I have you, Aurora and Rowan.”Her lips curved into a smile.“The only thing that I would like to focus on is you and my grandchildren.”I could feel the affection that she had for her grandchildren.I have watched her care for them and I'm grateful that they have such a great grandma.I held my mother's hands once again,I didn't care how many times she would pull away.“I fully understand you, mother.”I gave her hand a gentle squeeze,”I understand that you want to make up to me and that is what you have been doing for the past seven years.I understand that you love your gr
~Arabella~I came back a little bit early from the King's farewell party,leaving my husband behind as he was busy talking with the beta and other leaders from the neighbouring packs.I didn't want to distract Luke,that is why I let him be.As much as I wanted to come back home with him,I just couldn't because some work had to be done.I came back to our house.Luke and I moved out of his family's house when he built our own house.We moved in with my mother and it was awesome to have her around.She helped me to take care of our kids when I was too busy.Our first born son is called Rowan,he is six years old,some few months to hit seven.We have a second born who is a girl, she's called Aurora,three years old.Our house's location is not that far from Luke's family, it's just a few metres away from each other.My mother in law is so sweet and she loves her grandchildren so much.She sometimes cooks a lot of food and brings it to us or invites us for dinner so that we can eat as a family.It
