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.I smiled at Carmen as she walked off with her mates hands snuck around her waist. I was glad they've made up whatever was going on between them and I hoped it last for eteenity. Carmen lolled happier.Taking a swig of my water I walked in tiredly with a smile on my face as I passed by the maids who waved gleefully when they saw me. I just finished my training with Raze and I think he got frustrated that I wasn't getting a particular move and calle the training off. I was pretty tired anyways."I like that smile." Raze voice shook my form my thought, my heart thudded against my ribcage softly. He leaned against a pillar with a sorry expression at my shock which was too vivid."Thank you." I said with a nervous smile and walked down in hopes to get passed him but his voice put me to stand still again."Where are you going?" He asked huskily and for a moment I didn't notice him towering above me and how closes up he seemed. His body reminded me of a hunk oak tree standing tall ad
~Raze.Surely, my words were convincing enough. She stared at me with doubt and conflict evident in her amber orbs. I just wanted her to be with me, rule with me, bear my pups, satisfy me, be mind! Was that too hard to understand? Or was all this restriction and stubbornness because I haven't marked her yet or because of her past mate.No matter how much promises i make to her it wasn't enough to break through her insecurity and see that I am fucking attracted to her. I stuffed my hands in my pocket and tried to look as calm as possible. It was one of the attributes I had that made me feared among the other rulers. My ability to keep my emotions under check and control them to my use.But her reaction when I touched her just now startled me, she literally turned cold and frozen in my arms that I feared I had panicked her to death.Her pretty lines creased into a small frown at my silence."Are you sure you don't want to talk Amber? I won't hurt you, I promise." I said with deliberate
~Amber.My eyes shot open and I immediately regretted it, my headache increased and my eyes voluntarily squinted on their own accord. I was in my bedroom but I had the faintest idea how I got here, my lips were dry and a bit cracked.I tried to calm my racing heart and my pounding head by silence, after a few minutes I slowly turned my head towards the left and I nearly jumped out of the bed in surprise. Carmen?"What are you doing her?" I asked, my voice came out barely above a whisper as I choked between coughs. She stood gracefully and flashed me a smile, handing me a glass of ice cold wate she sat on the bed."How do you feel Amber?" She returned my question with a question. Confusion made its way to my head and forehead wrinkled in confusion. What happened to me? I supposed to feel very okay but why do I feel like an icebag that had pain shooting through it? All I could remember was my little argument with Raze and how he stormed off leaving me sad and filled with worry of what w
~Amber.My head swung sharply towards Brenda. There was silence and a little sound made could be head. Slowly, Brenda's face became pale and her eyes wide in shock. I guess this time she didn't would be afraid because the alpha was involved."What is she talking about Brenda? What did you do to me last night?"I demanded.She bit her lower lip and gave me defiant stare and still said nothing. It angered me, I was slowly getting sick and tired of everyone thinking they can control or bully me anytime they wanted."Cat got your tongue Brenda?" Carmen said with an exaggerated gap that earned her a glare from me. "You've always picked on Amber, which is obviously going against the Alpha's orders and you do knkw what happens to wolf who disobey orders right?" "Well, your dear Amber is also hiding something from the Alpha and I am sure he would not love to hear it." Brenda drawled, hate brewing on her tongue."Even if she has, it she shouldn't be as serious as someone who uses strange power
~Amber.I froze as my gaze met his. His eyes were burning like coals and they seemed to ignite something in me that I could not keep to myself, the smell of my ayousak filled the air and a smirk formed it's way his lips. His scent which was now combined with his arousal and the cry from his wolf filled the air, his eyes fkahsed obsidian and I felt all my control waver as his hands brushed my face slightly. His scent was purely masculine and seemed to have the secreg passcode to my female sexual urges that lay locked deep within me. He leaned forward and had his eyes printed on me."Just as beautiful as always senorita." He said hoarsely, his breath fanning my ear leaving burning tingles that clashed with the useless sense of control I was buildimg up. "I wish I could let you go without punishing you, but your body says otherwise." I gulped and gave a nervous nod and for a moment rage flashed through his expression,but he blinked it away as soon as it came and fixed his eyes on my ba
~Amber.I was unsure if did the right thing by yelling at him but I knew I was protecting myself from what I don't know.I still felt tingles on my skin and core ached to me touched. Why was he playing me and torturing me like I meant nothing? I'd be damned if I say I didn't see the fire in his eyes but why did he stop? Was he lying to himself as well? Or is there a math I am not calculating well? I ignored the protests in my aching body and pulled myself away from his office corridor, I felt like shit."What happened to you? Why do you look so pale?" Carmen asked, her eyes big with concern as she held my shoulders, her hands holding me tight in worry. "What did he do to you?""Er, nothing… just some little talks yunno." I found myself saying, stuttering and tumbling over words as my throat ached slightly from the pain of his member in my mouth. Her gaze shone disbelief and she gave me a once over, an exaggerated gasp was wrenched out of her when her eyes landed on a small hickey, o
~Amber.We walked back to the main pack house in silence, I was slowly getting fed up with everyone showing their displeasure outrightly to me. What happened to the kind display of love and affection I got when we had the first introduction as someone special to Raze. It still baffles me how I still got some snide remarks and comments."There is a bonfire party tomorrow evening." Carmen reminded me.The bonfire was an open pack event and a night of no violence and power struggles between the wolves. The Alpha's would mingle and dine like there were no personal rifts between them. Anyone who dares to cause any fight or misunderstanding would be killed by the Alpha's present. I wasn't concerned with the event, I wasn't the social type. Yeah, I drunk my ass out I got here newly, but that was a celebration on my part from being out of the shackles of Reece. Knowing my father, he doesn't attend the Bonfire celebration he tagged it as an event he would lead his pack not to go.For once I wa
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
