Alpha Amal signaled to one of the maids to come over to him just then, and he asked her to take dinner for them up the stairs, while another took over the task of taking her parents over to their new room. He walked over to his wife and stood a step below her. “Hey baby. Sorry I took so long, I was trying to get rid of them.”“It's okay,” she said, rubbing his head with the pads of her thumbs. “Wanna head up? The maid will come with the food soon.”“Yeah, let's.”Hand in hand, they walked to their room, and he held the door open for her so she could come in. He would usually have locked it, but he didn't, because the maid would come in with their food soon.“We haven't eaten on the veranda in a little bit. Should we do that tonight?”“Sure,” he responded, staring at her. “How do you feel about seeing your parents today?”“Honestly?” He nodded, and she continued, “I'm actually angry. I'm not sure what they're looking for, but I hope they don't find it. What did they want? Did they sa
Alpha Amal took a bite and glanced over to his in-laws, while Sam continued to have her breakfast like they had not just suggested that all their actions had a reason. He knew that his wife seemed nonchalant, but she cared very deeply, and he vowed to protect her from any hurt, even if it meant that he would escort her parents out of her life himself. He got up from the table and went over to the phone in the kitchen so he could call his grandmother's wing. He wanted Sam's parents to know that she had her own new family there in his mansion. His grandmother picked up on the first ring with her characteristic “hello?” and he filled her in on everything that was happening. “Okay, so yesterday, Sam's parents came over to ask for forgiveness for kicking her out and all that stuff. I'm sure we told you the other day. And now I'm afraid that Sam will let them remain in her life just to avoid a fight. So I need you and mum here at the dining to show them that Sam has people in her corner.”
In town, they got out of the car and there were unsure hugs and distant promises to keep in touch. Sam smiled at them before they got down, and Alpha Amal had them carry two of the baskets into their home, as a souvenir. When he was done, he checked in on the school and saw that the children were in school. Satisfied with the routine check, he and Sam went ahead to the Stephens' estate to see Paisley.At the gate, they were let in without a hitch, and he drove over to the lone duplex and parked his car in the parking lot. He and Sam got out of the car, pausing to take the hamper out from the back of the car. He picked up the basket, leaving Sam with bare hands. They walked over to the Stephens' front door and rang a bell. A few minutes after that, a maid opened the door and ushered them in, leading to the living room. When they were settled in and had been given refreshments, she went up the stairs to inform Paisley of their presence. Sam looked around and admired the opulence of th
Chapter 86Over the next two days, Sam spent most of her time in bed, the toll from her parents' visit telling on her. Alpha Amal had taken to bringing her breakfast in bed, and she had gotten used to it, sitting up in bed the instant she heard the clink of the dishes on the tray.Today was the first day in a few days that she felt good, and she had no plans of sitting in bed for it, so when Alpha Amal brought the tray her way that morning, she set it aside on the dresser and pulled him into bed with her. “Good morning baby,” she crooned, a wide smile on her face. She had more than enough energy, and was sure that she smelled a little of stale sweat, but he wasn't complaining, was he?“Good morning my love. You're in a good mood today, what's the occasion?”“There isn't one! I feel better today. And I wanted to say thank you. You've been so good about taking care of me and watching over me. You've brought me food and haven't complained about my little …mess,” she finished, gesturing
She got into the front passenger seat, while Alpha Amal drove, with Vivian, Charity and Elan in the back seat. In the other car, her In-laws, Nora and Alpha Amal's two guards were ready.She turned to Alpha Amal two minutes into their trip to ask, “are they safe with your grandmother driving? Because I don't really think-”“Don't worry about it, ” he laughed, picking up as she trailed off. “She does not want to die, so she'll be careful. She may not care much about anything else, but she cares about herself. ”She bit back her laugh and noticed that behind her, Vivian's hand had gone over her mouth to hide her laugh. She had met Alpha Amal's grandmother a few times herself and knew that the woman was a character, while Elan and Charity just gave her questioning looks in the backseat. She bit her tongue and looked on the road ahead, shaking her head when Alpha Amal's grandmother's car drove past them, with the occupants of the car yelling. “Woah!” Charity exclaimed, “Is that the same
Over the next few days, Sam planned Alpha Amal's birthday bash, hiding all the details from him. Because Charity, Elan and Nora were so busy with figuring out the details for Paisley's wedding and hammering out ideas, it was entirely up to her, and she was finding it a tad difficult. She vowed never to take yeh services of her friends for granted as she and the chef decided on what to make for him to eat. “Amal really likes your pasta, but will we even have enough eggs to make enough for everyone?”“How many people, Sam? You haven't even made the guest list!”Which was true. Sam had been finding it difficult to decide who to invite to the party. She knew of herself, Amal himself, his mother and his grandmother, but what of his father? Paisley would definitely be there, but would her father be invited?She had been thinking about it, because perhaps it would be unfair to bring in the servants and everyone else, if she wasn't going to bring his father along.“I have,” she bluffed, tur
When he finally came out of the bathroom, Sam rushed him into his closet, pointing out the clothing she had set out for him. Confused, he looked up at her. “Sam, these are not my clothes, where did they come from?”“They are my gift to you.”He found that questionable, but he slipped on the shirt, noting with alarm that it worked perfectly well for his figure. “How come-”“I know my way around measuring.” At his raised eyebrow, she completed her statement. “And I stole one of your shirts to measure it with.”“What a woman,” he laughed, turning to give her a forehead kiss. Completely dressed, she pulled him onto the chair in front of his dresser, oiling his scalp for a quick massage before she brushes his hair through. Finished and satisfied with how they were both looking, she set out for the door, holding it open for him. He stepped out ahead of her and walked down the stairs, noting in awe that the entire mansion had been decorated. “Sam! How? I walked last here this morning, and
After their breakfast together, they both went down the stairs to check in on the guests who didn't live in the mansion. They were matching again, and she thought it was intentional on Alpha Amal's part. She nudged him gently as they took the first steps down. “Matching with me, aren't you?”“Yes, I am. I'm cute like that, aren't I?”Teasingly, she scrunched up her nose and muttered, “umm.” “Hey!” he yelled, earning a glance from the maids who were in earshot and heard him. Together they walked over into the kitchen, saying hi to the chef before heading on over to the dining area, where they could hear the chatter between Paisley and her partner, and Sam peeped in head first, wanting to see if Alpha Amal's father was also at the table. He was, at a corner, quietly nibbling on some toast. She felt for him, knowing that his wife was near him but for whatever reason he could not have access to him. Alpha Amal peered after her and followed her line of sight. When he realized that s

The warriors were already in battle, fighting off the rogues. Sam knew she had to help. She quickly joined the fight, using the skills she had taught the warriors. She fought fiercely, taking down rogue after rogue. After what seemed like hours, the battle was won. The pack had emerged victorious, thanks to the warriors and Sam. As she walked back to her office, she was met with cheers and applause from
From where he was in the hall, her father's hand shot up in a little wave, and applause and a few laughs followed it. “I would also like to thank some very special women, and I'll need your help. I need them to stand up, all the girls from the mansion, could you please rise up?” When nobody moved, she gestured at the table to call them herself. “Elan, Charity, Nora, Sam! Get up here!” When all four of them got up from their chairs and moved towards the podium, the hall erupted in applause, causing blotches of color to form in the cheeks of all four women. “These are the women who made today so wonderful. From the food options to the flowers and the dresses and your comfort, these are the women who made things happen. They were the ones who made me comfortable, and helped me relax throughout this very stressful process, and I think they deserve their flowers. Charity was the one who heralded the dresses and my comfort, going with me to get the best dress possible, for my comfort an
Zack had been standing at the Altar, and Sam thought she had seen a year drop from his eyes, and Alpha Amal's too. The two men had developed an understanding that Sam knew nothing about, and her husband was part of his party. A photographer ran forward and captured a picture of the moment, and Sam felt her cheeks begin to throb from how wide her smile was. The officiant walked forward - a man from town - and began to join the couple in matrimony. Everyone gushed over how adorable the couple was as the wedding went on, and a collective breath was held when he asked if there were any objections to the wedding. There were none, and Sam was glad. Soon, the ceremony was over, and the newly wedded couple walked out of the chapel, getting pelted by rice and flower petals. Sam wondered if they would be left to walk all the way to the reception area, but then decided against it. She got into one of the cars that she and Alpha Amal had brought from the mansion along with Charity and the gi
“None of us here know Sam as well as I do. And I want to tell you all that she has been through quite a lot. A lot more than anyone should have to go through, and we should celebrate her because of how strong she is. How beautiful and kind she is. How patient and loving. We should all be thankful that we know her!”Everyone laughed, but glasses were clinked again, with Sam beaming over at her drunken best friend. That night, they stayed talking about everything and nothing till the wee hours of the morning, the women setting themselves apart from the men.Paisley's wedding was in a week, and preparations were in place.She had been questioning if reception should be held in the town hall, and Sam agreed that it needed a lot of thought, especially if she wanted to invite everyone in town.“I don't know, I think my estate is bigger than the town hall, and it can hold more people. And since the food is being made in my home, if anything runs out, it can quickly be replenished, you kno
No more was said of Alpha Amal's father, calls had stopped coming in, and Sam's nightmares had ended almost as soon as they had begun. Vivian, Dave and Dan were now permanent fixtures around them, and every few minutes, they could be seen following Sam and Alpha Amal. She had finally moved all her things into Alpha Amal's room permanently, allotting that room to the guards to rotate in, so they could watch them. The central door was kept permanently locked, so no one would barge in or walk in on anyone dressing. It worked for everyone, mostly because the guards were permanently aware of whatever actions were being taken.Sam had - surprisingly - gotten used to their presence, and no longer resented that she couldn't go anywhere without a shadow. She had befriended Vivian and gotten to know her, so it felt more like she was hanging out with a friend than she was being watched. Alpha Amal on the other end had gotten flustered with every single visit of his guards. Dave and Dan would e
The day is going fine, and I am actually reconsidering my decision on birthdays, until he comes in.”Alpha Amal looked in between his wife and his grandmother, wondering if he had missed something. “Am I missing something, guys? Who comes in?”“Elder Mark. He is angry, and as a wolf, in the dream, he cha he's at the party and barrels straight for me, ripping me apart. In the dream, I die before I can see anything, but this time around I actually saw you die first, Amal. He mangled you beyond recognition, and killed me, so he could use my head as a warning to other people. I think we should be worried about him, Amal.”Alpha Amal put his hand on his chin to think about it, and then immediately he had processed what she had just said, he held out his hand to Sam. “How long has this been happening? And why didn't you tell me? I would have listened.”“I just didn't want to worry you. Things have been going so well and now I'm having stupid dreams about stupid men and things that are prob
“Oh, of course,” responded Zack. “He's on our way, and it really doesn't cost anything. Will he be much longer though? We really want to leave because we have an appointment at the bakery to taste cakes for 11:00AM.”“I think he and Alpha Amal will be done with their conversation Inna few minutes. Surely, if it were anything too important, they would have had it sooner?”“I guess.”Just then, Paisley came back in to fetch Zack, and without any previous discussion, she turned to Alpha Amal and his father and yelled. “Look, gentlemen. I would like to drop YOU off, but until you wrap up your little conversation, I cannot in good conscience do that, so could you hurry up?”She slid into a chair with that and I quickly ran to the kitchen to get them both bottles of cold water and some fruit. “Thank you so much for coming,” I said, handing her the bag. With my eyes, I finished the rest of the thank you, thanking her profusely for dropping off Alpha Amal's father. Soon their conversation ro
