She knew that she could not go on, so she asked Alpha Amal if they could just talk about it later. “Sir, can we keep a pin in this? We'll continue later, I'm just really tired right now. ” Nodding, Alpha Amal handed her the cake, refusing all her offers of it.“No, take it,” he said, “and about what has happened to you so far, I am so sorry. It sounds like you have had quite the tough life so far. I am sorry you had to go through all that, and be accused of the things you were accused of. I definitely didn't make things better by allowing them to run with the narrative that you had kidnapped me.” Laughing, Sam waved her hand at him, brushing it away.“It's water under the bridge sir,” she said, “you had no idea, and you were not in a position to defend me. You were hurt.” Sighing, she took a bite of her cake and smiled at him. He looked at peace with the pink petals falling around his head, and she wondered if she could convince him to pose for a portrait there in the orchard.
For the next few weeks, Alpha Amal and Sam established a routine, one they both enjoyed thoroughly, as far as she could tell. She would wake up as early as she could and go down to the kitchen to prepare his breakfast. She would make a large platter, larger than he would usually have - and if the kitchen staff noticed that he was eating more food, they did not say anything, merely passing whispers between themselves about Alpha Amal eating much more than usual. She would then walk up the stairs with the platter of food, knocking at his door so he could open it for her, freshly tousled hair in frame. She would set up his platter of food while he would casually walk through the interconnecting doors in her closet and go through to her room getting his things from his overnight stay. They would then decide to close the interconnecting doors and have breakfast together on the veranda. Sam something worried that they would be seen from the veranda one of those days and be caught, but Al
Just as the hand of the clock struck 12 Alpha Amal began to howl. His howl was sonorous and deep, and it put her and the other servants in a trance, while encouraging all the other members to join him. Carefully she let out an unsure howl and focused on shifting into her wolf form. The first shift she observed was Alpha Amal's, and in a few minutes, she learned about how easy transforming was for the other members of his pack. She tried her hardest and could not seem to pop anything but a fart, but she closed her eyes focusing. She had done that for a few minutes, but then she felt her wolf clamoring for someone, so instead she had a conversation with her wolf who wanted to be in the same headspace with her just to urge her to get through the transformation. Sam had initially ignored her wolf's instructions, so as payback, her wolf started ignoring her; her wolf pretended like she had not heard any of the pleas she had been making, and Sam got so angry, she decided she would do it
When the morning came, she and the girls decided to go their separate ways, as they still had to work. It was 5 AM, a bit late by their standards, but Sam knew that since the whole mansion had participated in the shift together, they wouldn't be the only ones still half asleep. She went to her room holding her stuff so she could drop it off, while Elan and Charity went to their respective rooms. It was still pretty early so there was nobody about when she crept into her room. She would be needing a shower after all the activity of the previous night and she really needed the refreshment of the water, so she barely noticed the figure that was in her bed. She had gathered up her things, tossed them onto the floor, turned the key in the lock. Assured that her room was locked and no one could get in while she took off her clothes, she did just that and then went into the shower. In the shower, while her face was sudsy, she remembered that she had seen a body in her bed when she came i
Nodding his head, Alpha Amal smiled at her. He had thought about it and torn apart her idea looking for loopholes, but there were none. They could find. The water source that even fed the well in the Stevens estate water and tap water directly from it. Not only would it save the entire pack, it might even cost less than Mr. Stephens, Paisley's father, wanted him to pay. He moved his head towards hers and kissed her all over face. “ Thank you, thank you, thank you so much. ”He beamed at her like he had just won the lottery, and Sam knew from that that the idea that she had just given him was really good.She had just had no idea it was that good. Smiling she said to him, “it was absolutely my pleasure.” She curled more into him and they went to sleep, Ignoring the pitter patter of feet that they had begun to hear on the mansion's floors. Both of their rooms were locked from the outside, so she felt safe walking around this way; she went through the interconnecting doors into her
Alpha Amal's POV.Alpha Amal looked at her and realized that he just might be in love with her. Over the last few weeks, they had gotten closer than ever, and more often than not, she was by his side. They had breakfast, lunch, and dinner together, and every time she had to go away, he trailed her with his eyes. On some nights, they both slept in her room, and other nights, they stayed in his more comfortable bed. Hers was lumpy, and he wanted to have it changed, but she had stopped him every time he offered. Every time she went down the stairs or away for a few minutes, he wondered if he could have someone come in from town to change it, but he realized that he couldn't. And he guessed she was comfortable with it, so he did not push it. Over time, he had come to realize that Sam was not just the Omega that had saved him, the runaway. Sam could sew, knit and darn. She could also bake and cook, and she seemed to be the entire package. She liked to say that she could sing, but his e
The clock struck midnight, and everyone had congregated to the front of the mansion, where Alpha Amal had his shifts every full moon.Looking over the expanse and seeing the servants, Alpha Amal felt a sense of pride. He singled Sam out - engaged in chatter with her friends and some of the kitchen staff - and summoned her to the front of the gathering. In absolutely no circumstance was she supposed to be seated or standing away from him.Her place was at his right hand side, and he made sure that she was back where she belonged, immediately. The crowd parted to allow her passage, and he noticed that she had a pink blush rushing up her cheeks, the side of her face, and her neck. He noticed that she only blushed up her neck when she was nervous, so he cleared his throat and deviated the attention, getting them to focus on him again. She obeyed his command while they looked away, coming to stand right beside him.As she reached his side, the full moon reached its peak, and he began the
Soon, the perfect time had come for Alpha Amal and Sam to go to her former pack for a visit. They had settled everything that there was to settle with their pack; one of the Elders was in charge of the sale of the harvest, and he had already begun the job, very experienced because he had done it before. As for the water, there was no longer any reason for the town to be afraid of a drought or water scarcity. The man who had come in from the other town had created a plumbing system that sent more than enough water to all the town's places. All the homes were fitted with pipes, but those had not been used in a while. When he finished, he runs through all of them with the fresh water from the borehole he had made. Ensuring that the town had water was quite easy. All they had to do was connect it to one of the sun powered stints that gave the town electricity, and the water would fill the gigantic water tank that was supposed to store the water. In the mansion, Alpha Amal had done the r

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
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
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
