Amber.Carmen dragged me out of the halls where we just had our not so good encounter. Her expression was dark with anger and it seemed she was restraining herself from blurting out something that would alarm me. If she was trying to hide it from me then she was doing a bad job because I was even more suspicious."Carmen, you're hurting me." I finally cried out and I watched her return back to reality. She blinked rapidly, her shoulders heaved down her gaze still on me, she had a sorry look."I am sorry about that, I was…." Her words trailed off in her mouth."Angry?" I asked. "Is there something I need to know?" I shifted my weight to another leg and I looked at her, my heart running miles. I hated being lied to, it brought back the unfriendly memories of Reece. All these years I had believed bullying was just his nature and an escape to whatever is it that held him down, but he seems he wasn't just a bully afterall. He was also a psychopath and power thirsty greedy guy. "I don't k
AmberShe asked if I wanted a run but I sincerely didn't want that, but it seemed I didn't have a choice. She pulled me through different corners of the pack and I met different kinds of faces. I silently wondered why they all held kind faces and applauded me with praises. Carmen was such a betrayer, she just stood there with her arms folded and watched me being pulled around by some chirpy girls as they all wanted to talk to me.But in all those I was in silent thought, was this what Brenda meant when she said I should enjoy it while it lasted? I never imagined that my escape would land me in a place such as good as this, it was just too much to handle and too good to be true.I wasn't just led here to be patted and treated like a royal blood, though I was but not in this territory.. No matter how much I wanted to blend in I couldn't help but feel so tiny and small, most especially when I didn't know why I was here in the first place. But whatever it was I would flow with the moment
~Amber.Andrenaline rushed throifh my veins as I pulled Carmen away from the crowd ignoring her protest for me to see Matthew, I was in no mood to see anyone. I just wanted to be left alone, it was getting to a breaking limit and I didn't want to break down in front of anyone, I have done that before and I am not doing it again.We walked back to the mansion with her leading way. The silence was a load of nervousness, my mind was unsettled and disturbed, I didn't want any contact with anyone for now."Who is Darmac?" I blurted out as soon as our movement stopped."He is Brenda's brother." She answered, not looking at me but at a nearby design in bid to escape by watchful stare.Now what? First was Brenda herself now her brother? Brenda already felt like sore now to add her psychopathic brother? How was I to handle all this? Well as the saying goes: Everything that has an advantage surely had a disadvantage. "I didn't see him all this while." I stated ignoring the fact that he has alre
~Raze.My anger with Darmac still burned in my chest but all I felt now was a mixture of anger, jealousy and possessiveness. Seeing Matthew standing casually with a cup on his hands, sipping it slowly and a slow smirk on his face.Seeing him reminded me of what happened the evening before when I saw him touch what belongs to me. This wasn't me tjinkin, I knew that. This was the Raze Amber had formed, Zane could testify how different I have been throughout her stay.Matthew was a very good and outstanding warrior, heck I even made him the head of my army, I trusted him but I didn't trust his ability to woo a woman and for the first time I felt really protective. I have never felt this way for anyome, not even Brenda."Hey Alpha you're here." He greeted raising his cup with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.I nodded, my eyes narrowed coldly on his figure and be prepared a place for me to sit. He's acting totally oblivious to the fact that I had been staring at him all through without
~Raze.The pack meeting was to start soon but I knew I needed some alone time. Zane walked in moments after I entered the meeting room."Greetings Alpha." He greeted.I nodded."I haven't found out the pack she's from but I'll have the artist draw a sketch and take it to all the neighboring packs.""Good." I said simply, getting ready for the meeting. Zane soon took his place beside me as the others filed in.~Amber.I was in a good mood the following day. Carmen had popped in forcing me out of my room to a place she wouldn't tell. I hope she wasn't taking me to some sick place.I got dressed, sitting in front of the vanity as Ayra styled my hair.I scowled. "Is this important? I am just going for a walk with Carmen."Ayra sighed, her shoulder heaved down and a smile on her lips. "Alpha's orders. This is a plus to you as well. You get such special treatment and have the Alpha watch you ljke a jealous husband."I blushed crimson and nudged her playfully. When we were done I bid her goo
~Amber.My body involuntary fell on the ground with a thud, my heart racing as fast as it could. How did she know about Reece? Who on Earth was Brenda? Darmac just have a small smirk ruffled my hair and srotted our behind his sister who bubbled away.Panic filled me that instant. No, this wasn't good. I never wanted anyone to know about who I was but how did Brenda get to know? Of all people the most important piece of information that my life depends on had to fall on someone like Brenda? God I am done for."Amber are you okay?" Carmen rushed up to me staggering on her feet but maintained her balance.I nodded, biting my lips holding the tears back in. I am far from fine Carmen but I can't tell you. It shattered and broke my heart, Carmen has been nothing but good and kind to me. A loving friend I never had.She helped me up, dusting my gown with her hands with concern. I kept my head bent so she wouldn't notice my panicked Express, Carmen is very smart in no time she would deduce th
~Amber. I swallowed down the question that crept to the tip of my tongue as soon as Carmen switched to her chirpy self. She scared and intrigued me at the same time her, her ability to switch emotions scared me and she and she made me want to find out what she wss hiding about her relationship with Matthew. We got into the mansion and was greeted by the familiar fleet of cars and well trimmed grasses and garden, a corner of Raze special garden glimmered in sunlight and I smiled at the calming sensation it brought. "What got you all smiley like a fool?" Carmen nudged my side with a frown. I glared back. "Nothing that concerns you." She scoffed. "Sorry to interrupt your moment with your man special garden." I blushed to my hair roots. "I am not " She shrugged. "Hey Carmen." A voice called from behind us. We turned and the look for recognition flashed in Carmen's eyes. The lady who walked, no, ran towards us was a slim lady with a good body shape. Her red hair was packed in a roug
~Amber.After a moment of silence, Carmen broke the silence and looked at me eagerly."What do you want to do?" She asked, like I was the determinant of our run tonight."What do I want to do or what do you want us to do?" I asked laughingly, my face scrunched up in a playful look.She smiled and turned her gaze towards an opening path in the forest, the smell of pinewood still haunted me and the cold air refreshed me. "Do you hear that?" She asked."Hear what?" "The sound of moving water, a lake." She informed.I frowned. "Don't tell me you want to go for a swim right now?"She shrugged. "There's really nothing else to do, and it is not a bad idea." "We could have stayed indoors." I muttered.True, I was just putting up a stubborn front. I actually enjoyed and relished every moment I spent here, there were no distractions or intrusion or some taunting presence of the two jerks. We walked towards the stream, it glimmered in moonlight and looked inviting. We pulled off our robes an
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
