~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
~Raze.My mood was greatly pummeled with the meeting we had today, there seemed to be lots of uproars coming up from these lower packs that threatened the peace I wanted at this time. This was a no fight period but some lower packs and greedy Alpha's who just wanted power and recognitions dared to send war proposals and termination of the taxes they pay to us."You should pay a personal visit to the packs in question and end it once and for all." Zane said beside me as we walked out of the meeting room, his hands were tucked lazily in his pocket, his spine straight and his eyes stared ahead."That would do. We have dews on our pride boss and don't you think we need them cleared?" Matthew asked from my right side. I don't want any violence or bloodshed now, I really didn't want to scare my delicate woman. Smiles, funny how I claimed her without her knowing about it. "We can't attack first. We can overlook the letters but we won't surely overlook spies and rogues that dare to intrude i
~RazeI gave him a questioning look but returned my gaze back to them."I don't need answers. These packs should learn to maintain their boundaries." I said, glaring at them as the cowered on the floor, shaking and muttering a series of pleas. That got me annoyed, I was never used to people begging me, I hate apologies and hearing it just made me more infuriated that it took Zane stepping forward for my canines not to get locked with their necks."You need to calm down Alpha." Zane said thoughtfully as he watched the intruders intently. "Whoever sent them my just want to start a brawl with or or even you of killing their members.""That's an insane excuse." Matthew scoffed."They are insane packs anyways, we don't expect more from them." After series of explanations I finally let them go, letting them take along the body of their men that Darmac killd. We soon left the arena and made our way through the forest, I could hear the distant sound of water coming from the stream below the
~Amber.My breathing wasn't stable as I stared at my disheveled appearance in the mirror. My hair looked like a bed nest and my face a bit swollen or it was just my eyes. My heart thudded ferociously against my ribcage, he had seen me this way.What the hell was he doing in my room with myself shamelessly cuddling and leaning into his touch. The feeling of hardened flesh on my body jolted me up from my slip just to find myself being held tightly by him.My face was so hot and I tried to calm omby splashing cold water on my face."Amber? Alpha asks for you to meet him fo breakfast." Ayra called from outside. My heart froze and for a moment I thought I would die of embarrassment. How would I face him? What would I say? How would I explain myself for squirming against his hardened flesh and his arms that were around my waist."Amber?" Oh she was still here "Yeah, um good. I'll be down, you may leave." I said immediately, I wasn't going to allow anyone see how embarrassed and flushed I w
~Reece."Get out from here, scramless fool." I barked at a clumsy maid who spilled wine all over my well plaited suit, my eyes were buring with fury. I was heading to the hal, the spies I sent to get Ambers whereabouts has returned, they bettee be with good news or I would not think twice to end their sorry life.The maid sped off in fear. I made a mental note to change such a clumsy girl.'Alpha the scouts has brought back the reports.' my head guard informed me through mindlink.'would be there keep everyone in check.' I replied ad made my way towards the hall that they were.The mumurs that went on the hall silenced on my emttance and I gave everyone a hard stare, my jaws were clenched with derisive incredulity. I ignored the greeting and made my way accross the hall to the godlen porch."What news dd you bring back?" I asked the spies as they knelt down on the floor, one of them was missing. "And what happened to the last one?" Silence."Did you get to know about her whereabouts
~Reece.I said in my room that was bathed in the red glow of the buld. The only sound in the silence were the soft snap of my fingers as I stared intently at a painting on the wall. Claudi, my most respected side cheek had her head on my shoulder. She created gentle pattern on my chest, her fingers exploring my chest with her eyes trained on me.I internally rolled my eyes at her never ending hunger for sex. We had the whole night today was the very day I wanted to meet with Alpha Reagan, his daughter was mine and mine alone and not to some ruthless Alpha she was having a nice time with. Fuck I missed her soft body against her my hard and strong body, she was soft and stupid, she gave me everything opening her legs for me because she ever thought I could love her, she hoped a beast in my nature would fall in love with something as delicate as her. But I wouldn't lie, the sweet smell of her and her familiar arousal made me go hard beneath my trousers and I had this urge to pour out all
Reece.I watched the colour drain from his face as he cursed lowly, refusing to meet my gaze."Reece, this is like going on a fruitless mission. Raze is a pain in the ass and won't release her." He lamented bitterly. "He would, we just need to play the cards right." "But..""No buts. We'll talk about this later, see me in my office." I told him curtly and addressed the pending packs issues that needs to be attended to. If he wasn't tired I was tired of eveehome singing his praise like he was some monster that couldn't be battled. I sat in my favor leather chair in our inner meeting room and motioned for Derek to go on with the meeting."The warlord called in and said he's reconstructing the army and changing the rangs after our last defeat. The top warriors hasn't recovered from the injuries from the last war." Derek said. "One of the speculations were that the enemy were given upper information about our tactics." "Crap, any lead on who might have done that?" "Tons. They are cur
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
