AMANDA’s POVMy heart dropped in shock the moment I slowly raised my head to see Jason’s left hand that was now suspended in the air.I blinked my eyes severally as I tried to decipher if it was surreal or if I was only having a hallucination.But it was real; right before my eyes, he wanted to hit me.I staggered slightly until I was now a few feet away from where he stood. He only gazed at me, without an iota of guilt or emotions flowing through his eyes. It only meant that he didn’t feel bad for what he was about to do, neither did it occur to him that he had just done something cruel to my emotions.“Did you try to hit me?” I stuttered as I blinked severally, holding back the tears that were now threatening to fall out of my eyes.He took in a deep breath and quickly looked away, without providing the answers I direly needed.I scoffed and walked closer, trying so hard to peer into his eyes that were now redirected back to me. I couldn’t believe this, had he really tried to hit m
THIRD PARTY’s POV….From a distance, Tristan caught sight of Amanda who was sitting by the pool, looking so sad and broken. He knew that something was off with her and he needed no one to tell him that whatever it was concerned Jason. He hissed softly as Jason’s name came to mind, Amanda was never sad for any reason other than that man. Why did he make it his life’s mission to ruin the poor lady? He hated the beta for this.Amanda remained in her own world, taking in the calmness of the quiet pool and trying to disengage her mind from the countless disturbing thoughts that poured in.That moment, she felt a hand on her bare shoulders and immediately, her eyes shot open. At first, she had thought it was Jason and this caused her heart to beat, even if she was enraged. However, the moment her eyes fell on Tristan, her eyes softened, but that lasted for only a second. The next second, she quickly wore a cold gaze and took his hand off her shoulders.“What are you doing here?” Am
Amanda swallowed hard the moment Tristan walked away. She felt guilty for talking to him in such manner but she didn’t blame herself for it. Her life was a complete mess and anyone in her shoes would react in the exact way and manner she did. No one was going to understand her pains the way she felt them. That was the major reason why she sent Tristan away. He wanted to understand what she felt at the moment but he would never be able to, no matter how hard he tried.“Why, Why me?” She asked as tears finally started making way out of her eyes. She had reached her peak, her tolerance peak had become too full and she could no longer hold in the tears.She had come over towards the pool area to rewind her heart and get a grip of herself but then, she seemed to be losing it instead. Her heart was heavy and weary and all she craved to do was scream until she felt empty.With tears in her eyes, she looked around and scanned the area, hoping that no one was in sight.She didn’t catch a g
AMANDA’s POV…Was my day going to be anymore worse? This was the question that thrummed in my head as I gazed at Jason who was currently gazing at me with a smirk that made my stomach ache.“Can you let me be? I came out here to have a quiet time to myself”, I finally said to him the moment I regained my voice.He chuckled calmly after which he crouched low and sat beside me, staring at me in a way and manner that made my heart twitch. “You don’t get it, do you? I can’t let you be because you belong to me”, he replied as he stretched his hands and tucked my hair beneath my ears.I froze the moment his hands touched my hair, but regained my stance almost immediately.“Please…let me be alone”, I pleaded with him, trying so hard to stop my heart that was beating out of my chest. He smiled again and this time, wiped the tears that were scattered all over my face. I stared at him intently, wondering how it was possible for someone to switch up in a split second. A moment ago, he was la
JASON’s POVI had been pacing around the garden when I was approached by a servant. “The alpha demands to see you”, he informed with his head bowed to the ground in respect.I scrunched my brows as I thought of why the alpha would demand to see me when I had seen him only a while ago.I nodded my head and returned my gaze to the garden, clearly making no attempt to leave immediately.“He said that it’s urgent”, the servant had said to me, and I took in a deep breath and gestured for him to leave. Just as I walked out of the garden, I couldn’t help but wonder why the alpha decided to interrupt the quiet moment I wanted to share with myself. I had come to the garden to clear my head, but he was disrupting it.The moment I walked into his chambers, I needed no one to tell me that something was wrong. He was laying on the bed, looking pale and sick. He even had tears trickling out of his eyes.I was certain of how powerful the mate bond was, and I was also aware of the fact that the alp
He direly needed to know what happened to his mate, and I decided to lay it out to him. Not actually because I was scared of him, but because I felt that he had a right to know.“She killed herself”, I started explaining while I watched how more tears poured out of the alpha’s eyes.I didn’t feel any bit of emotions, because as long as I was concerned, she was dead already and no one could do anything about it.“She went to war and was about winning when a mistake was made by one of her women. The woman died and she went over to avenge her death, even if she was injured. This was a trap set my the opposition group, because almost immediately, they were surrounded by them and taken captive. She kept bleeding and losing strength and from what I heard she was wolfless at that point”, I explained calmly.At this point, he no longer spoke or tried to command respect from me. It just seemed like he was trying to digest everything he had heard and then I had inhaled before continuing,“She t
JASON’s POVI ran up to meet up with her and just as I had expected, she was in fury and great distraught. My heart dropped and for a minute, I thought of apologizing, even if I knew that I didn’t owe her an explanation for whatever I did.Despite how hard I tried to curtail the urge to apologize, I found myself asking her to forgive me since I didn’t mean it the way she thought.I tried to touch her too, to make her see how serious and sincere I was with the apology. But then, she flinched at my touch and warned me never to touch her again.That broke my heart to pieces, but I was eager to make her see my reasons.And then, that was when she made an utterance that made cold shills run down my spine.“You are heartless and cold, wicked and cruel!” She had said to me without any restraints.I was taken aback as I gazed at her in shock, hoping that she would take back her words. However, when she kept spewing such words, it dawned on me that she was really serious about it. All effor
Amanda’s PovJason said that he didn’t have a heart and I didn’t know how to react to his statement. I walked away and started heading back to my room, but on a second thought, I stopped right in my tracks.Was it possible for anyone to live without a heart?This was a question I suddenly asked myself and when I knew the answer to that, I swirled around and made my way back to him. “Jason!” I called out, causing him to stop right in his tracks. He was clearly surprised to see me returning to him after I had left.“Did you say that you have no heart?” I asked calmly while he wore a frown and nodded in affirmation.“I don’t have a heart. You would only be hurting yourself to think that I do”, he said with a smirk while I scoffed and nodded my head calmly.I wanted to prove that no creature lived without a heart, not anyone and certainly, not him…“You have a heart!” I argued and his eyes widened in surprise.He was clearly shocked that I was arguing with him about something he didn’t
