~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
~Amara~The day passed by pretty quickly and now it was time to go back to our pack since the lessons were over.I didn't care to know how things turned out with Sandra because that was none of my business.However,I was happy that now I was out of Mrs Pamela's bad record since that is what mattered the most.Nico, Luke and I headed to the parking lot quietly. The two were still mad at each other and I couldn't stand the hostility around me. All I wanted was peace and calmness.That is the environment that I'm used to. I was raised in a peaceful environment.We arrived at the parking and realised that the beta had not arrived to pick us up, so we had to wait for him to arrive. For a split second, I wished my father could allow us to drive ourselves to campus and back to the pack.However, I couldn't blame him because I know he's just being careful."Can the two of you talk things out? I don't like the way you look at each other."I raised my concerns and they both looked at me and looke
`Amara~Nico's lips curved into a smirk when he looked at me through the vanity mirror and realised that his closeness was affecting me even though he hadn't laid his hands over me to explore my body and make me moan in pleasure.I know Nico can see through my soul and he can feel my feelings through the mate bond.He knows fucking well that I longed for him.He knows that I badly needed him.However,he was just trying to play dumb with me and I hated it so much.He kissed me on my bare neck,my eyes shuttered effortlessly and I tilted my head to the side, giving him the permission to do whatever he wanted to my neck."Says someone who didn't miss me even a little bit."He whispered in my ear,his voice low and husky."I can smell someone's arousal in the air,"He said teasingly and a throaty chuckle escaped his lips."Don't be too hard to yourself.Your body is betraying you,Amara,"He brushed hair strands from my neck and I couldn't help it but shiver at his touch, silently craving for more a
~Amara~I woke up to the annoying siren noise of my morning alarm and I groaned in response because I wanted to sleep some more. With closed eyes, I reached for the alarm on the side bed table and turned it off.I fluttered my eyelashes to get rid of the blurry vision and my heart ached. An unexplainable feeling crept into my heart when I woke up to a cold and empty bed.I closed my eyes and heaved a deep sigh. I know he couldn't stay till morning because it's risky but…I just wanted to wake up in his arms, laying my head on his chest and his musk scent clouding my nostrils.It hurts when I fall asleep in his arms but wake up to an empty and cold pillow.His scent still lingered in the air and I breathed it deep in my lungs to help me feel his presence.I knew this would happen when I fell asleep in his arms after the intensive lovemaking.I tightened my grip around him as if doing so would prevent him from leaving but…"I hate when I wake up to an empty bed, Isabella. I would like to wak
