AMBER’S POVHis words felt like a dagger tossed into my heart.My blood stopped circulating at the hearing of my father execution, which happened to be the next day. It was just a few hours from now.The fear of being an orphan overshadowed me. I lost my precious mother, trying to survive without her.The pain came back, a sad feeling of loosing someone very close to oneself. I would be seeing my father tomorrow.His head will be chopped off right before my naked eyes. I would watch his life mercilessly squeezed out of him.This pain was unbearable.My lacrimal gland had got perfectly filled, calling unto me to help let go of it’s content.I wouldn’t like Raze know I was crying to bed, not ready to look weak before him. I didn’t want to give him an impression of being against the befitting punishment of my father.The tears falls profusely across my cheeks, soaking up the duvet, which I pulled to slightly cover my teary face.I had truly been encountering painful days of my life but t
AMBER’S POV I felt strange. Whoever or whatever it was, it looked like he wanted to prey on me. My heart started to pound so loudly against my chest because I knew fully well that I was a vulnerable prey which would make it a good hunter. I let out loud screams of help. My voice soaring higher and higher until my throat starts to ache. My eyes fluttered open slowly while my pupils tried to take in the description of the room. It was well lighted with the beam of light passing through the window. I took a quick glance, checking if the wolf was still before me. I heaved out a relieving sigh when I came to realize it was a dream. My eyes trailed to my side, looking for my mate, who I slept on his smooth chest yesternight. He was gone, leaving me alone in the bed. All night I could hardly sleep. I found it so hard to close my eyelids without me visualizing what my Father’s death would look like. What his scream would sound like the second they attempted to chop his head off. Today
RAZE’S POV In the past few days, I noticed the way Amber was losing her touch. She had barely smile ever since the execution. She was either crying alone in secret places and coming out with swollen eyes or she was not communicating well with me.I wanted to be there for her. I wanted to help her fight this pain and agony. I desperately wanted to be there all through the journey of her healing but that was only going to be if she wanted me to.I knew her Father was a monster but somehow I felt like I might have a hand in bringing this storm upon her.Running my left finger through my hair, I thought of the best way to inform her of the new update without her losing it. Particularly I feel like it would be too soon but that was what the villagers wanted and we just had to give it to them.According to the Elders, the villagers fears that Amber might be a threat to all of them giving who her Father was and the only way to get them to settle down is by making her a part of us. Marking h
ANONYMOUS’S POV “What do you mean by he is dead?” I asked in disbelief. My blood boiling as I tried to take in his words. “He…He was beheaded.” My right hand man, Sharp, stammered. My palms were formed into a fist that I dived straight into his stomach before he could say anything else. I watched him stagger backward, groaning in pain as he clutched onto his stomach. He knew better than to make the groans audible because that would cost his head or maybe an eye since I was already getting short of guards due to my aggressive nature. It was either I killed them out of anger of them making a mistake or I kill them when they give me bad news. I hated bad news. I was the lord of bad news and I was the only one allowed to deliver bad news to people, not the other way round. “Who killed him?” I roared at him in anger as though he could have done anything to help his situation. Sharp lets out a cough as he struggled to stand straight, his head bent down. He kept his distance away fr
AMBER’S POVIt was a beautiful morning. The crisply sound of the birds awakened me, my eyes fluttering open slowly, adjusting to the ray of lights.Today happened to be a day I would officially become a Luna to Alpha Raze. A male I had loved with my whole life.I giggled my body, hitting on my lovely mate's body.I took a long stare at his face, his sleepy look was enchanting. He looked cute every time. His looks sent me good energy for the day. I leaned closer to his face, placing a passionate peck on it.His eyes were shut open. A great warrior, always at alert.He took a quick glance at the room, landing his pretty eyes on me.“Good morning love.” He said, outstretching his arms.“Hope you slept well honey?” I asked, caring about his welfare.He looked at me with questioning eyes which I had no idea of.“It was surely good with you by my side. You should be certain of that by now.” He responded, smiling softly at me.My soft cheek flickered in a gentle blush.He leaned his head c
AMBER’S POVI let myself savor the taste or his lips. It tasted like wine. I knew he must have taken it before coming to the square.Maybe the plans of my mating ceremony coming late was just the right thing to happen because it would save me the whole stress of having to be bothered about him having a late day as a bachelor’s party.My fingers find his hair and I played with them while he stuck his tongue out to roll it inside my mouth.A soft moan escaped my lips.Every single thought in my head vanished. All I wanted at this point was for him to fuck me senseless but I knew he wouldn’t do that. I knew he would make love to me gently because of the child.****I let out a yawn and pulled my eyes apart to land back on the room. I was glad to know that I was still here, and that everything wasn’t a dream. After the mating ceremony yesterday, I still refused to believe that it was real. This was real.I was really Raze’s mate. I was his Luna now and he was my Alpha.I turned my head si
RAZE'S POVI glared at the wall like it was the reason for my anger, my fist was clenched tightly and jaw ticked." B..but what does this mean?" Amber's voice shook, it held so much panic and fear. Her breathe were coming out in short pants.I crouched beside her and held her face in my palm, staring into her tear filled eyes. She looked so scared and vulnerable" Baby! Baby!! I need you to calm down, okay? Relax." I said softly but she wasn't listening. She was staring at me and she wasn't at the same time.Her eyes had this far away look." D-does this mean...someone wants to hurt me?" She stared at the paper and her hands shook " He's watching me!" She gasped and quickly looked around the room. Tears were dropping from her eyes quickly." Amber..." She was still acting frantically.My hands grabbed her waist and pulled her close to me and I kissed her roughly.Please snap out of it....She struggled in my grip, trying to escape but I tightened my hold on her, refusing to let go.I
RAZE'S POVAlpha! They are all gathered at the field…Bryan, the Chief guard said through mind-link. Alright… I replied.I eased Amber's hands away from my body gently and watched her cuddle the pillow instead. Pregnancy must make her very touchy.I'm glad I'll be the only one she'll ever be touchy with. Thinking of her being in Reece's arm was making my blood boil not because I was jealous…maybe I am, but it's majorly because he would never have treated her well. He would have made her life a living hell and now that he is no more, some crazy fellow is about to do it for him. I'll be damned if I let him close to her, physically or mentally.I walked to the field with Bryan behind me, my face was emotionless and I'm sure I was spitting fire through my eyes." ALPHA!" The guards saluted as we walked into the field." I have no time for frivolities. So I'll go straight to the point. I met a guard last night and I want him to come out himself." I said with a plain voice, showing no emo
AMBER’S POV.I felt numb.Everything was dark. I struggled to open my eyes, when I finally got to open my eyes, the light was too bright for me and it affected my eyes. I had to close my eyes back. I tried opening them again and I tried adjusting my eyes to the light and I succeeded this time around. I looked around the room I was in. My hand was kind of heavy, then I looked down to check why it was then I saw Raze my mate sleeping with my hand in his.I hope I did not worry him too much, where are our babies. I looked around and I did not notice any crib or cribs. This made me wake Raze up.He first looked around and when he saw that my eyes were opened, he widened his eyes and smiled at me.“Hey babe. How are we feeling?” He asked.“Well I’m not feeling too good.” I replied trying to sit up but the pain hit me hard in my abdomen.“You’re not supposed to sit up, just stay like that until you heal okay?” He told me and I nodded my head.“Where are my kids?” I asked.He smiled.“They a
RAVE’s POV.The past few weeks have been okay.I could feel strength in my legs and if I did it with enough concentration I could lift my legs. But I’ll break sweats to do that. We just had dinner and we are outside getting air.Amber said she felt too choked inside.“Babe, I love you.” She said and hugged me.“I love you too babe.”We hugged each other for a while before she complained that she wanted to go inside because of the cold. She was opening the door when she suddenly screamed, holding her tummy in her hands. I suddenly felt panicked.What was going on? I asked nobody in particular.“What is wrong babe?” I asked wheeling my chair to where she was.She could not talk. She was moaning in pain and agony. I felt helpless and I wanted to cry because I could not stand up to carry her and get help. I screamed for help on top of my voice.I wanted to carry her but I remembered my situation again. Fuck. How useless could I be in this situation.I heard footsteps coming up and I kind
RAZE’s POV.I want to walk.I did not want to disappoint Amber when we finally give birth to our children. I want to be there for her, it won’t be easy for her to do things on her own when she gets pregnant and I cannot trust these maids at all. Even after I flushed them out I’m still worried about them still being among the maids. I can’t keep fitting every single one of them, it will get to a point and they would say I have issues and the last thing I want right now is for a runout to start to in the pack that I was a paranoia and it would cause another trouble.If other packs hear of this, they might want to take advantage of it and penetrate into the pack as per its at its weakest right now. Apart from the war that is brewing underneath that my men and I preparing for, I did not want to give room for another war.I was going to make sure that I would walk before my children were born. I need to call Caden, my beta so that he will get me that fitness instructor that he wanted to br
AMBER’s POV.The past few days has been stressful for me but I was still happy.Even though Rave could not walk for the time being, I tried my best to be by his side all the time as his mate. We all tried to be happy here and not think of the bad things that happened in the past. I kind of still think of my father, he was still the one that brought me into this world regardless but not think of him because I miss him but because, my children would grow up without a grandfather. I’ll make sure to tell them that the man dies too before I grew up so I don’t introduce them to the bad and shameful life he lived.I’ll make sure that if my children were girls or if just one of them turned out to be a girl, I’ll make sure that she did not go through what I went through. I’ll take care of her to their fullest and not give space for suffering. I knew that my mate, Raze would be a good father to them too. He did not have single bad blood towards me and his unborn children.He was always checking
FIVE DAYS AGOUNKNOWN'S POVI was pacing and boiling at the same time. Where the hell are they?Shouldn't they have been back with her body yet? What's taking these fools so long?I should have known that they weren't capable of doing anything! Incompetent idiots.I saw one of my men running in with sweat dripping down his face and he quickly fell to his knees.Bad news! I hate bad news!" What is it? Where are the assassins?" I growled at him and although he was scared shitless he didn't move back. Bold! That's how I like my men to be." The Intel we received was false sire! The assassins fell into their trap. A lot of them were killed and the rest that were injured were taking back to the castle." He spoke quickly.I yelled in anger and grabbed the soldier by his neck. Lifting him up and choking him." Who dared to do that?" I glared at him. Every nerve in me was burning with fiery rage. And I felt like I could wipe out an entire village just from my boiling rage." T-the Q…Q…Queen
RAZE'S POVWhen Amber left for the farm, I suddenly regretted letting her go.I know she's with Bryan but I still felt uneasy. She's with child and I'll only be okay if I was there with her but I wasn't.I called one of the guards and ordered them to follow the carriage at a safe distance and to inform me if things go south. I'm not taking any chances with my woman.An hour after speaking to the guard, they came rushing in. They had arrow wounds on their body and I quickly called the pack doctor to take care of them.But before they were taken to the hospital, they told me that the carriage was under attack and that it was a good thing I had dispatched the army warriors.What confused me now was that I never did that? I didn't dispatch the army warriors but if I didn't who did?I called the secretary in charge and was informed that Warlock had dispatched the army guards. But how did he know that the carriage was under attack?When I finally went back home, I heard voices outside the
BRYAN'S POV The hood fell off and revealed Sage with a bloodied nose and purple eyes. " What the hell happened to you?" I asked amusedly. " Warlock. He let me know just how he felt about my betrayal." He smiled but ended up wincing at the act stretched his lips, expanding the deep cut he had. I chuckled " I'm not surprised. Warlock is known for speaking with his fist and not his mouth. I would have apologized but I think you deserved it." I shrugged and stared into space. " And more. He promised to deal with me if the plan flopped. That's if, I'm still alive after this." I laughed but I could hear the sadness in his voice. " He wishes you dead?" I quirked an eyebrow. " By a million arrows. The dude doesn't know how to hide his hatred or anger " The Alpha is being they lost their generous and I'm very grateful for that but I don't think the people would be happy to have a traitor living amongst them when they eventually find out." " That is why you need to prove yourself now. A
AMBER'S POV" How's the construction going?" Raze asked as I munched on a boneless chicken." Great. The men are truly hardworking. They were digging up the ground when I got there." I answered, eating a tender chicken meat." That's good news. I hate to be this useless in a time like this." He sulked almost pouting, and I couldn't stop myself from pecking the cute lips " My lips are not cute." He glared at me." At this point, it is." I grinned from ear to ear " And don't ever call yourself useless. So what if your legs are working, note the sacarsm, it shouldn't make you feel less important. You are just as important, healthy or handicapped, to this pack." I ended, picking up another large of piece of chicken." You seem to love the chicken legs more than me now." He glowered." I love your legs too, so fat and thick." I subconsciously licked my lips " But I love the sausage between them more."His face paled " You are flirting shamelessly now?" I shrugged " Can't help it. Pregnanc
AMBER'S POV " No, Amber!" " Why are you so upset? I'm not asking for the world, you know?" I rolled my eyes. " You're asking for my world." He thundered " I'm not letting you go to the construction site." " I'm doing this for you. You're not physically capable of going there yourself or monitoring the whole process, so I'm going on your behalf." " No!." " Bryan will be there. I promise I'll just watch from afar." " It's a construction site. So many things could go wrong, a lot of debris will be falling from Goddess knows where. It's not something you can predict, okay?" " I know that, Raze. That's why I won't really go close to the site. I'll be observing it from afar." I tried to explain to him but it's like sticking a boulder. He just won't budge. " I can go but you're the one restricting me to bedrest. I can wheel myself over to the place." " And get stuck between rocks or worse, fall down from your chair because of the rocky terrain and hitting your head on a large har
