AMBER. "I want to ask you a question." I began, unable to hold myself back any longer. I had tried to hold back the urge but it seemed impossible. The thought kept plaguing me and at last I finally asked him the question, unable to hide mask my feelings. We lay beside each other that evening, looking up at the ceiling. "Yeah, what is it you want to ask?" He asked me, his brows coming together as he asked me the question. "Alpha Aiden," I hesitated, my voice laced with a bit of anxiousness and a bit of curiosity. I stuttered for a while until he asked me to calm down and tell him what had been on my mind. I nodded and then began, hoping he wouldn't get mad at me for reminding me of the days when all he wanted was to see me dead. "Why did you try to turn me into a lycan that night? You remember right." He chuckled before asking me. "Is that all, is that all you wanna ask?" He questioned, flashing me a smile that made me uneasy deep down. I nodded and he replied. "Punishment or cou
The guards who were standing outside the cell were very shocked about the recent happening because they witnessed everything that had been happening ever since Alpha Aiden seemingly lost his mind. The worst they had witnessed was the Alpha having sex with the prisoner. It sent a shockwave among them all. They were very worried and had no idea what to do about it. They whispered amongst themselves as they heard them to each other that evening. "I keep wondering if you all can't see what has been going on here between the Alpha and ? The Alpha has clearly lost his mind and something needs to be done about it. He no longer regards us like he used to and he spends almost the whole time everyday with the slave girl!" The second guard nodded in approbation before he gave his own insights. "There is no doubt about it guys. She is already having a very dangerous influence on him and it keeps getting worse by the day." The third guard was the most terrified amongst them. He knew Amber could
THE GUARDS. That evening some of the guards left the cell to go and talk with Calisté and tell her everything that was going on. They needed to let her know the things that were going on immediately because if they didn't, she would end up not acting and Alpha Aiden would continue with his escapades. That evening two of the guards decided to take on the mission and go visit Caliste in jet chambers. The last time they had visited her, things didn't work out quite well but they were very determined to try again and see how things would turn out this time. They prepared themselves and talked about how they were going to speak to her so they could avoid doing or saying anything that would make her angry at them. They needed to be careful because she was like a time bomb that was waiting to explode and she had killed people people the past because of her anger. Besides, they were the ones who fed her with information on Aiden anytime he did anything that was suspecting. Os they weren't
Amber’s POVI couldn’t contain the joy in my heart as I stared at the beautiful gifts that came from my father. It wasn’t the first time he would get me what I wanted and this just exceeded my expectations.I sprung out of bed as I made my way out to my father, I bumped into one of the servants and there was nothing that annoyed me more than when this happens.“Watch where you’re going, you bloody serf!” I yelled and I watched the fear on the maid’s face intensity. It would be pretty stupid for one to not be scared of the princess since their fate obviously laid in my hands.“I’m sorry.” She apologised profusely, bowing down in respect but I ignored her as I walked past her and made my way to my parent’s chamber.“Father!” I called in excitement as I threw myself at him in a hug. He looked busy but I loved the fact that he was ready to let go of what he was doing to attend to me anytime.“And the Princess ignores me.” My mother passed a subtle comment that made all of us let out a sli
Amber’s POVThe day soon ended and a new day arrived pretty fast. It seems as though time wasn’t on anybody's side because it ended just as quickly as it started.I waited for my mother to come out of her chamber since we both had plans of snacking together this evening.“I’m sorry I’m late.” I heard my mother apologising while still walking down the hallway leading to my chambers, and I only smiled. She has a big reputation for being late to every damn thing, so this wasn’t new.We both sat and soon got to talking as we had our snacks. It was the best time ever and it was moments like this that I always prayed never end.I love my parents equally and the love they both showered me with was exceptional.“Are you serious?” I giggled as I almost choked on my fruit, “there’s no way!” I added, laughing to an extent my ribs soon started hurting.My mother had said something unbelievably funny and there was no way anyone wouldn’t laugh at that.“Ask your father if you think I’m lying about
Amber’s POVThe shock on my face gradually turned into fear due to the effect of his voice and I could feel my palm getting sweaty as I nervously rubbed them against each other in a bid to dry them.“Aiden!” I heard a tiny voice scream from behind me and my mother and I turned around to see one of the twins running towards the Alpha King who still had my father in a chokehold, looking crazed as hell with blood dripping down his clothes and the claws on his other hand out.She didn’t seem scared of him one bit right now, with how she literally ran into his arms.My mouth fell open.The sneaky twin had obviously managed to loosen the ropes which I had used to tie her up and was also excited to see that her brother had come for them.The anger in his eyes were evident as his eyes had already turned dark red, causing an immense amount of fear in the room. From the look of things right now, it was obvious that he had dealt with a whole lot of people out there and had completely conquered t
Amber’s POV"Where am I?"My eyes opened slightly only to see darkness around me. I felt a strong wave of discomfort run through my body and it felt like I was suffocating.I was in a tight space."What's going on?"I gasped in pain when my head bumped into a hard surface, I felt a liquid trail down my face and I knew I had injured myself.I tried wiggling my hands free from the tight grip to touch the brunt but I was helpless. I could hear the engine and the smell of gas but I couldn't scream out loud because I was gagged.My eyes burn as hot tears stream down my face. My heart aches with the thought of my dead parents.The air got more suffocating as we drove on. My head ached, and an ominous feeling gripped my heart. I wondered where I was being taken to.I didn’t need to think hard to figure out where I’m currently in.It’s in the booth of a moving vehicle.”A booth? What the hell was I doing in the trunk of a car?"I thought to myself.I was so confused about what I was doing ther
Aiden’s POV I walked into the house and I was greeted by the two maids who tended to my twin sisters. The only thing on my mind was my little sister and how she is currently fairing.“How is she?” I asked sternly, staring at her closed room door.“She has been crying a lot but we think she’ll be okay soon. We admonished a sleeping antidote to her because she was about to wear herself out from crying too much.”Not bothering to respond, I walked straight into my little sister’s bedroom, carefully shutting the door behind me.The sight of my little sister broke my heart.Her face was looking pale and her eyes were very puffy and red. She seemed to still be crying in her sleep, which made my heart clench angrily at the thought of the omega whom I had captured and brought home with me.Fuck, I’m going to make her pay…I felt a stab of guilt course through my veins as I inched closer to her bed.There were two beds in this room and one is currently empty, void of the other twin.If I ha

AMBER. The next chain of events that followed was a very shocking one. And I couldn't hold myself back anymore. I couldn't control myself any longer, especially when I was around him and when I thought about him. But despite the whole caring i knew he was just doing everything to earn back my trust and break me again. I didn't fully trust him yet but there were times when I felt quite safe in his arms. I didn't understand what was going on but I was ready to play along until he did what he wanted. But I didn't give a damn who he was or whatever he wanted to do. My life was in his hands and he could do with it whatever he wanted, I knew that I would keep on trying everyday not to die. But despite that I was not worried by him any more. I just felt OK whenever he came to visit and ended up telling me stories to ease my mind off the boredom. I appreciated that but his mission was what I couldn't predict. He was full of cunning and he could do anything to get what he wanted. So this
AIDEN"Are you okay with it?" I asked her, looking back at her to see the way she seemed so shocked by everything that was going on. I knew she was overwhelmed by my actions. I couldn't help it. That was just the simple truth and I hoped she would get used to it soon enough. She shook her head and gave me a smile that said a lot. "I don't care if she's gone." I said. "Your presence is enough for me. And just to assure you my dear. Everything that is happening now isn't some sort of joke or peace to get you to believe me so I can deal with you very badly. I need you to trust me," I said to her, my voice a low purr as I gazed at Amber. She looked up at me and nodded slowly, looking very surprised by what I had just said to her. "Are you sure?" She asked, her voice barely above a whisper. "I promise you." I said before reclining back on her. Someone I couldn't move at all and she let me stay on her body. But I could still tell that her defiance had shifted to something else, something
CALISTÉ.I couldn't keep my cool any longer. I wished he would die right there. But sadly there was nothing I could do to retaliate, to show how angry I was by the stupid statements he was making right now. I wished I had the power to do something to him. "I am your future Luna, Aiden. I deserve an explanation for all this nonsense I am seeing and hearing. Have you lost your fucking mind?! What is the meaning of all this?!!" I yelled at him, still demanding an explanation but it seemed he wouldn't be giving me any. I felt so f*cking pissed by his behaviour. But he didn't even move. He looked so calm with the whole thing that was going on. The anger in his face was gone all of a sudden. "What you done to him, you witch!" I yelled at the witch sitting behind him, cowered and crawled in a corner like she was innocent, when she was a very big monster that was just looking for prey. Only heaves knew how much I despised her at this moment. I wished I could harm her. Unable to hold my
CALISTÉ.I was still reeling with anger and frustration because of what he had done to me, how he had humiliated me in front of his guards and he wasn't going to get away with it. I was going to make sure that Amber suffered horrible for that. This was just the beginning of my evil. I had already mapped out plans to deal with her and was on my way to the dungeon to give her a good taste of what Aiden had been doing to her before now that he had started acting strange. She needed to go through enough pain again so she would know that Aiden wouldn't be around to save her whenever I wanted to deal with her. Walking into the dungeons with rage and the burning desire to deal with her or everything I had been through, I walked towards her cell, ignoring the guards as they nodded at me in acknowledgement. I didn't care about their greetings or anything of that sort, all I cared about was making Amber suffer. Last night I barely slept because I was thinking about the best ways ways cause h
AMBER.The tension that had gripped me began to ease, and in its place was a feeling of surprise and perplexity at what happened next. I had expected him to punish me right after that or leave the cell, promising to have me punished or dealt with later on. But he didn't do any of that, and that left me quite shocked. What did this mean? But I reminded myself immediately that this was one of his tricks to lure me into thinking I was safe with him, when he was ready to deal and pounce on me like the beast he was or maybe order Ethan rough me up like last time. But his reaction to the whole thing had been very strange, considering what had happened previous times when we had had the mildest arguments. Perhaps he only got angry by insults. I was puzzled but I kept quiet, wondering how things would turn out soon enough. You never knew with people like him. Aiden squinted at the book upon seeing the title and for a while, he stared at the book without looking at anything else. He zoned ou
AMBER.Not complying would also be a very big problem so I decided to get my acts right and do what I had to do before he got angry again. I hesitated for a moment before complying, revealing the book I had clung to like a lifeline. And the moment he saw the book, he stared at it for a moment before he unlocked the cell door and walked inside. He walked towards me and lifted my sheets inky to reveal lots of books beneath it. His eyes lit the moment he saw them. My heart was beating very fast now and I didn't know what to do. What was I going to say now? I felt so worried about what he was going to do to me and what he could possibly do to Celia when I mentioned her name. F*ck! I cursed beneath, why was I always getting into trouble every time. But then I reminded myself that I wouldn't be getting into trouble if I had my own things and didn't have to beg anybody for theirs or accept what people suggested, just like in Celia's case. And looked at me sternly for some time, seemingly
