Amber."This would look great on you Amber, what do you think?" Carmen held up a pretty taffeta skirt and a black chiffon rosettes. The whole dress screamed sophisticated simplicity or would I say expensive simplicity? Dresses I had were very simple and plain and also poor in quality, this was high quality and something only royals wore.I sighed, my two hands by my side. I swung my legs to and fro underneath the large bed. "Seems pretty okah and more my type.""Oh really?" Ayra said with a grin. "Rock it with silhouettes and you'd look utterly stunning, you'd be the life and center of the bonfire.""Oh sorry, I thought it was a celebration to seek for the moon goddesses protection and not a fashion show?" I joked, and both women stared at me in horror like I had said something I shouldn't have."You are really a party bumper. So what if it's just a bonfire, you have to look your best." Catemn delivered with a serious look."Now to the good part." And on and on we went, happily search
~Amber.The next day was a frenzy in the pack, everyone was high on the bonfire that happened tonight. Really, maybe it was just my perspective but I didn't feel the need for the excitement that exuded from everyone I have met today. Too tired and bored of being curled up in my room I stepped out to see how the preparations were coming along.Never have Imagined that I would be in such a position. Being a member of the warrior pack was a sure edge over other members of other packs. But not for me, instead of being proud and fly with being here I was just the same. The same Amber who was always bullied and reminded daily of how much of a loser I am.After my episode Carmen came to see me this morning before proceeding with the preparations that took over her day. It was her duty to take care of the events and preparations, she offered for me to join her but I softly declined. I wasn't strong enough yet to face another episode of meeting either Brenda or Darmac, worse off getting entang
~Reece.Alpha Reagan had not given me the response that I needed concerning amber, she must be brought back to me. Leaving with a rival like Raze would do me more harm than good. I wasn't bothered at the thought of Amber refusing to get back, she was weakling afterall and was born to be controlled by powerful creatures like us.I nodded at the maid who refilled my glass of wine, the scotching feeling in my throat giving it a good burn brought a smile to my face. I was slowly getting addicted to this new glass of wine that Daniel brought for me days back. Daniel was the prince of the rogues, their little pack, Nightcrawlers. He was what I could consider as a best friend, and his sister, oh damn. Camelia was an epitome of rugged beauty, she had good curves and a body that could attract anyone with an active libido, I found it hard to contain my arousal whenever I am around her, scared of her brother's disapproval because obviously he knows how I change girls like the wine in my hands, d
~Amber."Breathtaking." Raze said hoarsely, my face hot with the attention he showered on me. His shoulders relaxed as he had his nose snuggled in the nape of my neck. He sniffed deeply and the spot tingled with excitement at his touch. I was surprised to actually see him a the bonfire.Just as I and Carmen were about to step out of the terrace, to be led my Matthew to the venue, Raze came out of nowhere and Matthew led only Carmen, leaving me and Raze together.My pulse quickened at the sight of him, my heart tripped a bit and I forced myself to meet the steadiness on his dark and enigmatic eyes."Thank you." I muttered lowly in respect to his compliment earlier, the nervous tension of being a guest and an outsider in warriors pack creeped in slowly, I rubbed my hands together trying to keep myself steady."Nervous?" Alpha Raze asked with concern, his enigmatic eyes trained on mine.I was baffled by his ability to read my mind, in as much as it amazed me it made me unsettled. I looke
Amber.My eyes caught a familiar blonde hair, Brenda. She kept leaning forward into Raze's hold and something about it upset me. It disturbed me. Brenda was beautiful, wouldn't deny that but she was a bitch, a total beauty without the brains. The unsettling feeling left by Reece and seeing Brenda right now formed a huge lump in my throat.Carmeb poured me a refill as we both observed the crowd. She kept sneaking glances at me but I pretended not to see it, I just hoped she didn't see I and Reece. "The would help your mood, maybe make you lightheaded and you would dance your ass out here.""Come dance with me."I casted Raze a startled gaze unsure if I was ready to subject myself to another torture of being close to him and setting me on the edge of my control. Of course, I would dance in his arms and things he would do remained unknown to me. But on second thoughts if I fail to give him this dance our little miss bitchy Brenda might offer one and even with a better offer of sex."Than
~Raze.My fist connected harshly with the television that was in sight, my inner boiled with anger and it took very deep breaths to calm the rage that build in me. Tyler my wolf was also furious as well."I sensed his fucking smell on her!" Tyler raged as be pounced and paced helplessly in my head.I frowned. I saw a man accosting hee clearly and Amber was visibly shaken, even right there when we're dancing she kept looking at him with fear and nervousness creeping through her. So she lied to me, I wanted to protect her and to make her feel mine and love. She was mine, mine to protect mine to hold. Seeing her being threateneed because that was basically the only explanation to what I had seen.The little scene with Brenda also added up to her nervousness and tension. Why didn't everyone understand that fact that Amber wasn't like some chick I wanted to fuck and dump, I needed her. Her scent did something to me that only she can do, I was addicted to her and it was scary."Alpha, here
~Raze.Anger burnt its path up my chest and formed a lump in my throat as I rocked back and forth on my heels, pondering about what had happened a few minutes ago. She wasn't supposed to hide anything from me. Never in a million years would I have believed that someone like Amber would put me out of my flaming mind.I couldn't fathom how she was comfortable hiding things from me, but tonight she did. I suddenly felt odd and a suck feeling in my guts. A grunt slipped out of my lips, and I curled my palms into fists. 'We need to cool off,' my wolf stated, and I couldn't agree less. Ever since the bonfire started I had been hard as well, with her next to me and her scent making me lose my mind. The need to grab her right there when I kissed her was so strong that thankfully for the timely intervention of her rejection, I would have ripped those pretty garments off her body and deep myself into her, unlocking ever little she has in that little head of hers. But now, there was no Amber.I
Reece's POVThe bonfire last night ended pretty much on the sour side for me, I wasn't ready to admit it but Raze is going to be a tough enemy when it comes to my aims of possessing Amber for my mission. Alpha Reagan wasn't a good tool as it stands, he must surely have some plans going on in that old head of his. But he wasn't my major opponent now, Raze was. Whatever it was, I needed to get Amber out of his reach as soon as possible.**I clenched my fists, and held them up in defense when my beta knocked off my sword from my hands. I curled my brows in amusement, maintaining my battle stance. My beta beamed, and a gleam of delight could be seen in his orbs. "Don't get too excited," I warned him, arching a brow and popping my knuckles before balling my palms into fists again. "You may pick up your sword," he chirped with his hands akimbo. I picked up my sword, and awaited his attack. He lurched forward, lifting his blade in the air and it made a swishing sound as he lowered it w
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
