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 woke up three times that night and found it extremely hard to fall back to sleep. I couldn't shake the feeling that something was about to go wrong. It was like a numb but consistent thud in my chest, every time when I woke up, Raze would wake up with me. And our baby would kick or turn to let me know that he could also feel my distress. It was almost Dawn when I was finally able to sleep again and although it wasn't very peaceful, it wasn't restless enough to wake me up. The next time I opened my eyes, it was bright and sunny outside. The curtains were drawn but a mischievous ray had found its way in through the tiniest space. It felt warm on my face but it wasn't blinding. I have no idea how long I must have fake-slept till I actually fell asleep. I stood up and stretched and wasn't surprised when I turned to my left and saw it was empty. The feeling was back and my heart was beating restlessly. My fingers went through my V-neck rubbing softly on my heart. Can
AMBER'S POVThe carriage skidded to a halt and I could hear a lot of screaming and grunting. The sounds of swords clashing was very unpleasant to my ears but I was grateful for it at the same time because it was the only way I could certify that Raze was still alive since I couldn't leave the carriage.The door was suddenly pulled open and I scooted back in fear as a guy dressed like a ninja held a dagger in his hands. His eyes screamed bloody murder and as he raised his hands in the air my lungs kicked and released a scream that would have probably been deafening in different circumstances.He was pulled back by his shoulders out of the carriage and his body made an impact with a tree before he fell limply to the floor." Amber! Are you okay?" Raze asked worriedly. His cloth was covered in blood and some was still dripping from his sword.I jumped out of the carriage into his arms, hugging him to myself " I was so scared. I held him at arm's length and let my eyes trail over him " Ar
AMBER'S POV" What is it?" I turned to the Doctor when we were out of earshot. His smile looked forced and a bit sad. And everytime he glanced at me, I knew he wanted to tell me something.His behaviour just shows that it won't be something I like." The Alpha is fine…" He started." But?" I asked." But his focal nerve has been injured causing him to suffer from paraplegia." " English Doc. I don't speak science." I rolled my eyes." In a layman's term, he won't be able to work." The words sort of flower through my ears and although it stuck to my brain, I couldn't digest it. My brain couldn't interprete them clearly.It felt like been told you're dying in a foreign language, you just don't understand it." What are you saying, Doc?" I asked him, still confused " What do you mean by he can't walk?" K" The nerves were severely injured, damaged even. And the poison injected in his body was of two types, one substance caused the injury, the other slows down his healing process. You co
AMBER'S POV After Raze has his meal, I excused myself to drop the used plates in the kitchen. When I got to the kitchen, I met the maids working and gave them a smile of apology for bringing the plates late. I walked into the living room and signaled one of the guards positioned there. " Get the Chief Guard. I want to speak with him urgently. No mindlinks." I said to the guard and he nodded in understanding before walking out to the packhouse. I didn't want to use the mindlink to contact Bryan because Raze would know that I wanted to speak with him and I didn't want that. As the Luna, I had the power to block mindlinks, generally or for specific people and that's exactly what I did. I blocked the guard from mindlinking Bryan and blocked Bryan from mindlinking me and the Alpha. A maid dropped a glass of orange juice on the table before skipping away. No matter how hard he tried to pretend, I know he's hiding something from me. When Bryan walked in, the guard bowed and left us
AMBER'S POV" I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said what I said." " No, I'm the one who should be sorry. Now come over here and let me hug you. My hands have missed the feeling of your body in my embrace." He said stretching his arms out.I ran into his embrace and I knew I was home again. " I Iove you, Amber." Raze whispered in my ears." I love you too, Raze. Always and Forever." I whispered back and fell asleep in his arms.*******************************************My eyeleds opened a little and shut back immediately because of the brightness of the sun.When I was sure that I could accommodate the bright rays, I opened my eyes slowly and still had to squint them before I could actually open them up fully.I looked around and noticed that the sun was up at it's brightest, the birds were chirping happily outside and I could even hear the workers hustling and bustling downstairs." You're awake." I turned to look at Raze and his face was so close to mine, any tiny tilt and our lips wo
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
