Amanda

The next day, I made my way to Alex's room, eager to see how he was faring after the ordeal. As I entered, a sense of relief washed over me seeing him sitting up, albeit with a tired expression on his face. It was heartening to see him getting back on his feet, quite literally, considering the state he was in just a few days ago. I knew Beatrice had done all she could to help him recover, and I couldn't be more grateful to have someone as dedicated and capable as her by my side.

"Hey Alex," I greeted him with a warm smile as I approached his bedside. "How are you feeling today?"

Alex glanced up at me, his eyes reflecting a mix of exhaustion and determination. "Hey Amanda," he replied, his voice still a bit weak but filled with gratitude.

"I'm getting there, slowly but surely."

I nodded, understanding all too well the slow process of recovery. "That's good to hear. Beatrice told me you've been making progress."

"Yeah, she's been incredible," Alex said, his tone full of appreci

    Amanda As I sat across from Alex in the brightly lit hospital room, I could sense the weight of the story he was about to share with me. His eyes, usually bright with determination, were clouded with a mixture of pain and anger. I leaned forward, ready to listen, ready to offer whatever support I could. "Tell me everything, Alex," I urged softly, my voice barely above a whisper.Alex took a deep breath, his hands trembling slightly as he began to speak. "It started about a week ago after my kidnap," he began, his voice rough with emotion. "Zane was merciless, became more ruthless, more power-hungry. I tried to reason with him, but he wouldn't listen. And then..." His voice trailed off, as if the memories were too painful to put into words."What happened, Alex?" I asked gently, reaching out to place a reassuring hand on his arm. He flinched at the touch, and I immediately withdrew, realizing that the scars run deeper than I could ever imagine."He... he started to see me as a threa

    Amanda As I sat beside Alex over the next week, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief seeing him gradually regain his strength. It had been a tough time, filled with worry and uncertainty, but now, as he held my hands in his hospital bed, I could sense a glimmer of hope amidst the shadows of the past."Hey," Alex whispered, his voice raspy but filled with sincerity. "I... I just wanted to say... I'm sorry. For everything."I squeezed his hand gently, a small smile playing on my lips despite the gravity of the situation. "You don't need to apologize, Alex. You were under pressure and none of what happened was your fault."He shook his head, his expression pained. "No, it's not just that... I know I've been distant, rude even, and I regret it. You've been here for me, and I pushed you away."I could hear the genuine remorse in his voice, and it tugged at my heartstrings. "You don't have to explain, Alex. I understand."But he persisted, his eyes searching mine for understanding.

    Amanda As I stood there, contemplating my next move in the dimly lit room, the weight of my decision bore down on me. Marcus stood beside me, his presence a comforting reassurance that I wasn't alone in this fight. We had reconciled, putting aside our differences for the greater cause: revenge against Zane and his pack. It was a mission that required careful planning and execution, and I knew that catching them off guard was key."Marcus," I said, turning to him, "we need to bring Tiana into this."Marcus nodded solemnly, understanding the gravity of the situation. "She's the key to getting close to Zane. But are you sure she'll help us?""I have my ways," I replied cryptically, a determined glint in my eye. "Besides, she has her own reasons for wanting to see Zane pay for his crimes."With that, I reached for my phone, dialing Tiana's number. It rang once, twice, before she picked up. "Amanda?" her voice came through the line, tinged with surprise."Tiana, we need to talk," I said,

    Amanda As I settled into the worn, familiar chair opposite Alex the next day in the dimly lit corner of our pack's meeting room, I felt the weight of the conversation I was about to initiate pressing heavily upon me. The air was thick with tension, almost tangible, as if it were weaving around us, mirroring the uncertainty that clouded my mind."Alex," I began, my voice low but steady, "there's something we need to discuss, something urgent."He looked up from the papers he'd been poring over, his expression shifting from focused to attentive. "What is it, Amanda? You seem... troubled."I took a deep breath, gathering my thoughts before plunging into the heart of the matter. "I've been noticing some... troubles within our pack, signs that make me suspect we might have spies among us."At that moment, I was careful not to mention that it was Marcus who gave me the information just in case there was another issue between them.Alex's brows furrowed in disbelief, his eyes widening slig

    Amanda As I sat across from my Gamma in the dimly lit room, the weight of the task ahead settled heavily on my shoulders. The plan to infiltrate Zane's pack and get my estranged sister, Tiana, who was not one to be taken lightly. It was a dangerous mission, one that required careful planning and execution."Beatrice," I began, my voice tinged with determination, "we need to strategize carefully. If we succeed in rescuing Tiana, we could potentially bring an end to Zane's reign of terror over not just his pack, but ours as well."Beatrice nodded solemnly, her eyes reflecting the gravity of the situation. "I agree, Amanda but we must proceed with caution. Zane is cunning, and he won't hesitate to retaliate if he catches wind of our plan."I leaned forward, resting my elbows on the table as I began to outline our strategy. "First, we need to gather as much intel as possible about Zane's pack— their routines, their defenses, anything that could give us an advantage."Beatrice listened in

    MarcusAs I slowly came around, the first thing I felt was pain, a severe pain I had never experienced before. It was as if my head was being crushed in a vice, a wracking headache threatening to split my skull in two. Slowly, I struggled to open my eyes, blinking against the harsh light filtering into the room. The blurred figures slowly came into focus, and the first person I saw was Amanda."Amanda?" I croaked, my voice barely audible even to my own ears. My throat felt dry and scratchy, as if I hadn't spoken in days.Her face softened with relief as she leaned closer, her hand reaching out to gently brush a strand of hair from my forehead. "Marcus, oh thank goodness you're awake," she murmured, her voice filled with emotion.I managed a small smile, despite the throbbing pain pulsating through my head. "How long have I been out?" I asked, my voice still weak."A few hours," she replied, her fingers intertwined with mine as she gave my hand a gentle squeeze. "You gave us quite a s

  • Once Rejected, Twice Accepted   Without her, the mission is useless.

    Amanda As I stood before my men, the tension in the air crackled with anticipation. We were on the brink of a pivotal moment, one that would shape the fate of our pack for years to come. My gaze swept over the assembled faces, each one a testament to the loyalty and dedication of my followers. They were ready to do whatever it took to ensure our victory."Listen up," I began, my voice cutting through the silence like a knife. "We've been planning this for weeks, and now the time has come to strike. Zane's pack has grown too powerful, too arrogant. It's time to show them that we won't be pushed around any longer."Murmurs of agreement rippled through the crowd as my words sunk in. They knew what was at stake, what we stood to gain if we succeeded."Our objective is simple: infiltrate Zane's territory and dismantle his pack from the inside out. Leave no stone unturned. We need to cripple them before they even know what's happening."I paused, letting the gravity of the situation sink i

  • Once Rejected, Twice Accepted   Now, we'll see what Zane does.

    Amanda As I trudged through the day, the weight of Alex's indifference hung heavy on my shoulders. Every attempt at conversation met with short replies or outright silence. It was like trying to reach someone behind a thick glass wall, where my words bounced back at me, unheard and unheeded. And I knew why."Alex," I said, hoping to break through the barrier he'd erected between us, "can we talk?"He glanced up from his work, his expression carefully neutral. "About what?"I hesitated, the words catching in my throat. "About... us. About how things have been since... since Marcus."A flicker of emotion crossed his face before it was swiftly masked. "There's nothing to talk about, Amanda.""But there is," I insisted, desperation creeping into my voice. "I can't stand this distance between us, Alex. You're my Beta, but you're also my friend."His jaw tightened, and for a moment, I thought he might relent. But then he shook his head, his gaze flicking away. "Things have changed, Amanda.

    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

  • Once Rejected, Twice Accepted   An intense pain.

    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

    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
