Amanda

As I strode alongside Beta Alex and the guard, my anticipation and tension rose with each step. Marcus, the intruder who had dared to infiltrate our pack, stood at the end of our path. I could sense Alex's silent fury emanating from his presence beside me, a fierce loyalty to our pack evident in every line of his posture.

“You need to calm down, Alex,” I muttered.

When we finally reached Marcus, my strides faltered, and I came to an abrupt halt. He stood before us, a vision of masculine beauty that momentarily took my breath away. His presence was commanding, his features chiseled and intense, and for a fleeting moment, I found myself captivated by him.

But then reality snapped back into focus, and I reminded myself of the threat he posed. I couldn't afford to be swayed by his appearance, no matter how striking it may be. Turning my attention away from Marcus, I glanced at Alex, noticing the tightness in his jaw and the glint of jealousy in his eyes. His loyalty to me and our

    AmandaWalking back into the house, my mind raced with different possibilities, things that Marcus could do if he wielded so much power such as this. I had no doubt that he was going to carry out his threat because if there was one thing I knew about people like him, it was that they didn’t bluff. They knew the risks attached to whatever it was they wanted to do and they didn’t care whose ox is gored, especially when it came to doing exactly what they said they would do.It was scary thinking about it but at the same time, this just gave us an advantage because for one, we knew where the threat was going to come from and we could be adequately prepared and secondly, we knew what we must do. Marcus wasn’t going to ruin all the plans I had prepared, I would rather die than allow him to do that.“I don’t think you should beat yourself over someone as inconsequential as Marcus,” Alex said.On some days such as this, I wished I could just slap the living daylights out of him because of his

    MarcusSeeing the female Alpha just told me that angels walked amongst us. For the first few minutes, I could hardly process what it was I was looking at. Never in my life had I ever seen someone as beautiful as she was. It just felt as if she fell out of the sky to come and live with us humans.She was the most beautiful human I had ever seen and staring at her, I knew that her wolf would also be as beautiful as she was. Amanda was her name and it was such a beautiful name for a goddess such as her. The way she had spoken with clipped eloquence couldn’t be found anywhere else and I knew for a fact that as beautiful as she was, she would spell trouble but I didn't care because as soon as I set my eyes on her, I knew that I needed to have her.There was definitely no way I would let her go now that I had seen her. I needed to be near her, needed to hear more of her thought process and if it warranted me to sneak into her chambers, just like I did now, I would. I had also seen the way s

    Amanda“What happened, I heard some noise.” Alex said, bursting into the room.The only noise Marcus had made was when he was going out and I had a good guess that he had done that to leave a mark. I had seen the way he looked at Alex when I first met him and it was a look that wasn’t pleasant at all, a look that could kill if given the chance. As I sat at my desk, poring over the scrolls scattered across its surface, I heard a sudden commotion outside my chamber. Before I could even register the sound fully, the door swung open with a force that made me jump in my seat. Standing in the doorway was Alex, his expression a mix of urgency and concern."What's wrong?" I asked, my heart pounding with apprehension. The last thing I needed was an intrusion disrupting the fragile peace we had managed to maintain in our pack.Alex scanned the room quickly before locking eyes with me. "Amanda, there are rumors of an intruder in the vicinity. Have you seen or heard anything suspicious?"I hesit

    AmandaThe evening descended with a sense of anticipation hanging in the air, like a taut string waiting to be plucked. The grand hall was illuminated by the warm glow of torches, casting elongated shadows that danced across the marble floor. I held court at the high table, surrounded by my elders, their presence lending an air of solemnity to the proceedings.As I sat at the head of the table, mulling over our next move against Alpha Zane and his pack, Gamma Beatrice leaned forward, her piercing gaze fixed on me. "What is our next plan of action, Amanda?" she inquired, her voice steady despite the urgency in her tone.I glanced around the table, meeting the eyes of each elder in turn before addressing Beatrice. "We need to exercise patience, Beatrice," I replied, my voice calm yet resolute. "Sarah, the spy we've sent into Zane's pack, needs time to gather information. We must allow her the opportunity to do so."Beatrice nodded, though the furrow in her brow betrayed her apprehensi

    AmandaIt was officially one week since we sent Sarah to the Blue Heart pack and already, expectations were already high. We expected results from her but at the same time, I knew that i couldn’t just pressurize her that way and also because i didn’t want to get her or any of my pack members in trouble and so, i needed to wait.“What bothers you Alpha?”Gamma Beatrice walked in with a worried expression on her face. I knew she cared about me, knew she cared about my wellbeing but at that moment, I just couldn’t deny the fact that I was scared and worried.“Is this about the ongoing plan?” she asked, taking a seat beside me.If there was another person I could confide in besides Alex, it was Beatrice and in that moment, I knew that I needed some girl time and what better way can I do that now than by talking with Beatrice. Staring at her, I remembered the first time we had met, on that cloudy day a few weeks back. It had happened so suddenly, our friendship that I didn't think that it

  • Once Rejected, Twice Accepted   A Urgent message.

    Amanda“Alpha, there is an urgent message for us from a member of the Blue Heart pack.” a guard said, knocking gently on my door.I jerked awake, not quite expecting to hear this. What kind of message could a guard from Zane’s pack possibly bring for me. I hadn’t sent them any kind of message that would require a reply and thinking about it now, I realized that I needed to be careful when handling this. I didn’t know what Zane had planned and I wasn't going to be foolish in handling this matter.“Have him searched,” I ordered.“Already done that Alpha,” he bowed.“Good. I will be there shortly,” I said.Bowing his head again, he walked out of my chambers, leaving me alone to think about what I did. I couldn’t deny the fact that this worried me but nonetheless, I wasn't going to allow it to weigh me down. I needed to be smart about this.A few minutes later, I walked out of my chambers, walking towards the main area where the guard from Zane’s pack stood, surrounded by my own guards wh

    Amanda As I strolled through the pack grounds later that evening, the air was crisp with the scent of pine and damp earth. My guards trailed behind me, their presence comforting in the gathering darkness. I enjoyed these quiet moments, away from the demands of leadership, where I could simply be among other people.Suddenly, a rustle came from a nearby shrub, breaking the tranquility. My guards immediately snapped into action, their bodies tensing as they scanned the surroundings for any potential threat. Instinctively, I halted, my senses on high alert. This wasn't a typical occurrence during my evening walks, and I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that washed over me.With practiced precision, my guards positioned themselves defensively, ready to spring into action at the slightest sign of danger. Yet, despite our collective vigilance, the source of the disturbance remained elusive. Shadows danced in the fading light, but there was no clear indication of what had caused the dis

    AmandaAs soon as I got back to my pack, the weight of the decision I was about to make settled heavily on my shoulders. The air in the room felt charged with anticipation as I called in Gamma Beatrice and my Beta, Alex. Their expressions mirrored my own internal turmoil as they entered, and I knew they sensed that something significant was about to happen."Thanks for coming, both of you," I began, my voice steady despite the storm of uncertainty brewing inside me. "I've been thinking a lot about our next move, and I've come to a decision."Beatrice raised an eyebrow, her eyes searching mine for clues. "What's on your mind, Amanda?"Taking a deep breath, I plunged ahead, laying out the plan that had been forming in my mind during my absence. "We're going to infiltrate Zane's pack."The words hung in the air, and I watched as shock registered on their faces. Beatrice's mouth fell open slightly, her eyes widening in disbelief. Alex's brow furrowed, his expression a mix of confusion a

    AmandaThe moon hung low in the sky, casting an eerie glow over the battlefield. I stood at the edge of the clearing, my heart pounding in my chest. The air was thick with tension, and every nerve in my body screamed at me to run, to hide, to escape but I couldn't. This was it. The final showdown between me and Zane. There was no turning back now. I had to face him, to confront the man who had taken everything from me. I had to beat him once and for all.I clenched my fists, feeling the rough bark of the tree behind me digging into my back. I had to steady myself, to focus. The memory of Zane's betrayal burned in my mind, fueling my resolve. He had taken my family, my friends, and my home. He had left me with nothing but a burning desire for revenge. And now, it was time to make him pay."I know you're out there, Amanda," Zane's voice cut through the silence like a knife. I tensed, my eyes scanning the shadows for any sign of movement. "There's no point in hiding. Come out and face m

  • Once Rejected, Twice Accepted   The end is near.

    ZaneAs I faced Amanda, I couldn’t help but marvel at the fierce determination that burned in her eyes. She moved with an intensity that caught me off guard, each strike delivered with a force that spoke volumes about her resolve. I had underestimated her, and now, as I struggled to keep up with her relentless attacks, I realized just how formidable she truly was."Is this all you’ve got, Zane?" Amanda taunted, her voice a mix of anger and sorrow. "Did you really think you could get away with killing Tiana?"I blocked her punch, feeling the impact reverberate through my arm. "It wasn’t personal, Amanda. You know how this world works."Her eyes narrowed, and she swung her leg in a swift arc, aiming for my head. I barely ducked in time, the air whistling as her kick missed its mark by inches. "Not personal? She was my sister, you bastard! You took her from me!"I couldn’t deny the truth of her words. Tiana had been Amanda’s estranged sister, and my actions had set off a chain of events

  • Once Rejected, Twice Accepted   We can not let him win.

    AmandaThe air was thick with anticipation, the kind that made your skin prickle and your senses heighten to an almost unbearable degree. I could feel it deep within me, an unshakeable certainty that Zane, with all his malice and wickedness, was heading towards our pack. This wasn't just a gut feeling; it was as if every fiber of my being was screaming out in warning. The battle we had both started long ago was far from over, and I knew that he was coming to finish it. My breath hitched as I considered the implications. Zane was not just a formidable opponent; he was ruthless and relentless, qualities that made him even more dangerous."Get ready!" I barked, my voice carrying the urgency of the situation. The warriors of my pack, loyal and unwavering, moved with swift precision. They knew what was at stake. "We cannot let him win. Not this time." My heart pounded as I watched them prepare, each one a crucial part of the defense that stood between Zane and our survival.Beatrice, my

    Amanda As I lay on the cold, hard ground, my vision blurred and the sounds around me dulled, I fought to stay conscious. Each breath was a struggle, each inhale and exhale a battle against the pain that radiated from my stomach. It felt like I had been stabbed, a searing, sharp agony that consumed my entire being. My hand instinctively pressed against the wound, but I couldn't feel any blood, just an overwhelming emptiness. A hollow sensation that told me something, or someone, had been taken away from me."Beatrice," I gasped, my voice barely a whisper. The pain was so intense that it was hard to form words, but I knew I had to communicate what I was feeling. Beatrice was crouched beside me, her face a mask of concern and determination. Her hands moved swiftly, checking my injuries, trying to stabilize me."Amanda, hold on," Beatrice urged, her voice steady but laced with urgency. "You're going to be okay. Just stay with me.""No," I managed to croak out, shaking my head slightly.

    TianaI stood on the balcony, my fingers clutching the cold stone railing. The moon cast a pale glow over the kingdom, a kingdom that was going into chaos because of my husband's actions. Zane, the man I had once loved, the man I had pledged my life to, was now a tyrant, causing havoc and destruction wherever he went. I had watched in horror as his ambitions grew darker and more twisted, and now I knew I had to stop him before it was too late.“This wasn’t what I bargained for? Why did he suddenly turn this way? I muttered.I turned away from the balcony and paced back into the chamber, my mind racing. I couldn't believe how far Zane had fallen. When we married, he was charming and full of dreams even though it was one to make my sister suffer but those dreams had turned into nightmares for our people. He had declared war on Amanda and her pack, accusing them of treachery without a shred of evidence. I knew Amanda and I was certain she was innocent. Zane's vendetta against her was pe

    ZaneThe power coursing through me was intoxicating, a heady rush that made every nerve tingle with a sense of invincibility. I stood at the edge of the cliff, looking down at the world that now seemed so small, so manageable. It was hard to believe that not long ago, I was just another face in the crowd, another insignificant speck in the grand tapestry of existence. But now? Now I was a god, or at least something very close to it."Zane, you have to be careful," I murmured to myself, the wind carrying my voice away. I knew I was right. This power, this incredible, unearthly strength, it was a gift but it was also a curse if I didn't handle it correctly. No one could know the source of my abilities. If they did, they could find a way to strip them from me, to use them against me and I couldn't allow that. Not now, not ever."Zane," a voice called from behind, and I turned to see Riley approaching, her expression a mix of concern and curiosity. She was one of the few who had seen the

  • Once Rejected, Twice Accepted   You will suffer for it.

    BeatriceAs soon as Zane broke free from the binds we had put him in, I knew we were in for total chaos. I watched from a corner, my heart pounding in my chest, unable to tear my eyes away from the scene unfolding before me. It was surreal, like something out of a nightmare. Zane had turned into something unrecognizable—a monster. His muscles bulged, his eyes glowed with a malevolent light, and an aura of raw power radiated from him. We had underestimated him, and now we were paying the price.Amanda stood bravely before him, her stance strong and determined. I could see the tension in her body, the resolve in her eyes. "Zane, you don't have to do this," she pleaded, her voice steady despite the obvious danger. "We can help you. Whatever you're going through, we can find a way to fix it."But Zane only laughed, a sound that sent chills down my spine. "Help me? You think you can help me?" he sneered, his voice dripping with disdain. "I don't need your help, Amanda. I don't need any

  • Once Rejected, Twice Accepted   What do you want?!

    Amanda Seeing Tiana within my pack after what we’ve promised ourselves was something I didn't expect. I mean, i expected to see her after the battle was over but now, seeing her now just told me that she and Zane might have had a plan to help him escape because i didn’t really see any reason why she was here. It just didn’t make sense.“What do you want?” I said, icily.There was tension in the area, that much I could tell. What I hated at that moment was not knowing the plan that she and Zane had. It made me mad because I knew that she didn’t just come here on her own volition, there was definitely something going on and I wanted nothing more than to know what it was. Tiana remained silent like i wasn’t talking to her which made me mad because it just meant that she didn’t regard me at all and she hadn’t put what was between us behind her.“For the last time Tiana, what do you want?” I asked again.I was slowly losing my patience and I knew that I would lose it if she didn’t tell me

    ZaneI didn’t know whether to call it luck or being blessed but if there was one thing i knew, it was that things somehow worked in my favor. It had only been a stroke of luck when Amanda was called away and by no other person but my wife. Now, alone in the dank, dark place she had put me in, I knew I needed to do everything possible to free myself or else, when she came back, I would find it much worse.The last thing i wanted to be was to be Amanda’s bait, i was far stronger and bigger than her and i had the advantage but still, i knew i shouldn’t forget that she was an Alpha, far more stronger than any other normal wolf and it would be a hard time fighting her off but i knew that i could do it especially since i was very determined.“That won’t be easy Zane, stop fooling yourself.” I sighed.Amanda had made sure that I was tied so tightly that I had no room for escape. If i didn’t know better, i would have said that she knew i would try to escape hence the reason for treating me th
