~Raze.I had just returned from a long day at work. I was tired and wanted nothing more than to relax and spend some time with myself and probably Amber. Ever since the dinner we had I have found myself longing and yearning for her beside me. The sudden urge to protect her filled me which made me more effective in getting down who the strange men came from. But as soon as I drove into the pack's territory and made my way to my mansion, I could sense that something was off. The air was thick with tension and along the way I saw the people pointing towards the palace.I sensed that something was off, the air was thick with tension and I could hear whispers and murmurs from the pack members. What had happened while I was away? quickly made my way to my office, where Zane was waiting for me. He handed me a picture which I immediately took looking at him skeptically.I studied the pictures closely.I didn't recognize the woman, which meant she was either a rogue or a spy from another pack.
~Raze.The days has gotten better and the days past, I found myself getting too soft. It was due to the effect Amber had on me, we have gotten really close and I was hoping to make the move to make her mine. She still mesmerizes me everyday I see her, her beauty was incomparable in my eyes and t only made me want to know how she would look with all the clothes gone. Very soon, I'll bury all the hidden passion I had for her into her.I straightened my gait, my eyes scanning the territory with a keen sense of awareness. Lately, I had taken my duties to another level of seriousness and intense watch over the security of the pack, Zane, walks beside me, his eyes alert and his body tense. We have been doing the inspections together.We move through the woods, our footsteps silent as we search for any signs of danger. Suddenly, I catch sight of movement in the distance. My hand instinctively goes to my waist, where my weapon is holstered. I raise my right hands and we both halted on our tra
As I walked towards Darmac, I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, anger swelling in me. I hated my authority being threatened and would not let anyone make me feel bothered, I have a whole pack to handle, if I can't trust the people I have around me then would I trust? Zane and Matthew, flanked me on either side, ready to intervene if things got out of hand, which I pray it doesn't. Darmac has always been on tbeir bad side and the eagerness to act was strong and evident in their eyes."Darmac, where were you last night?" I asked immediately we stood inches apart, my voice stern and commanding.He looked up at me with a nervous expression, his eyes darting from me to Zane and Matthew. I squinted my eyss at him trying to figure if the nervousness was real or acted, he didn't have such a look when he was in my office the oher day."What's going on, Alpha Raze?" He asked."There was an attack in a bar last night. Ans you were fleeing away from the premises right after we waded the
I woke up to an empty bed, Raze nowhere to be seen. I sat up, looking around the room for any sign of him. Sure enough, I found a note on the nightstand."Sorry I had to leave, duty called." I blushed at his sweet intentions. It was scary but everyday I found myself falling deeper for him, he was one of the most handsome yet scary looking Alpha I had seen. I didn't know if it was love bit I know I have never felt this for anyone. Not Reece not anyone. He made me feel loved and a warm feeling comes up in my chest whenever he looks at me. I couldn't believe I had found something as previous as this. My life was going to go end as of the time I was rejected and sent away by my father and Reece, but he saved me and gave me another chance to live, but this time with love. With a new found vigour I got up and went through my normal wash routine, feeling the water soothing me and clearing my head. Afterwards, Ayra, came in to help me get dressed. "You and the Alpha has progressed really we
~Amber.I woke up early the next day feelimg white determined for my training today. I had made a resolve not to be pushed around like I used to, it was time to turn the tables around.. Though I and Carmen had been training for quite a while now I realized that she was still way ahead of me in her agility, despite how much she made me not feel bad I still couldn't help but feel left out. I had asked Ayra last night not to wait on me, Alpha Raze was quite busy with lots of packs activities. I had not seen him and I usually feel a soft pang in my chest whenever I think about it and the sudden urge for his touch filled me. Brushing the thought from my mind, quickly got ready and packed my hair in a ponytail that bobbed from side to side as I ran to the training ground.Carmen was already stretching. She spotted me and waved, signaling me to hurry up. I smiled and jogged over to her."You seem quite bright this morning" she said, standing upright with her hands on her waist, she glanced
~Amber.I woke up to the sound of birds chirping outside my window. I stretched my arms and legs, feeling every muscle flexing and relaxing, soothing the tension that had built up from the previous day. The memory of his angry face made a guilt pang well up in my chest. I facepalmed physically as exhaustion brewed through me. I was ready to tell him the truth. I have succeeded in brushing the thoughts that I was hiding anything from my mind. For once I wanted to be happy and soak myself in training since that was the only thing I did lately other than gisting with Carmen that made me smile. Darmac's taunts the other day and Alpha Raze questioning yesterday was a reminder that I couldn't hide it for long, it wouldn't take long for my cover to get exposed and I just hope it wasn't soon. It might lead to a war between my father and him and I didn't want that, Alpha Raze was way powerful than my Dad and coupled with the fact there was someone as siy as Reece by my father's side, I was lat
~Amber.As I walked towards the training ground, my heart was still beating erratically with fear. I toom a side glance the pack members that were scattered left and right, I subtly wondered how they would feel when they knew I was from a rival pack. The mere thought that such a day would exist in my life made my heart sink. Raze was already doubtful of me, he didn't need to say it his eyes said it all. I pushed all the ill thought behind me and I plasted a neutral look on my face and walked back to the training center where I suppose Carmen was waiting for me.But as I approached, my eyes locked onto a girl standing beside Carmen. I didn't recognize her at first, but as I got closer, the dots clicked. It was Alice - she fittws the exact description Carmen made of her earlier and I felt a looming sense of dread fill me as she stood beside Carmen. I couldn't help but feel jealous as they stood side to side watching the men train."Hey, Amber! Come over here will you!?" Carmen called wi
~Amber.It was a tough week for me. One that left me feeling lonely and hopeless. Alpha Raze who I had grown close to, had become distant from me. It seemed as though he was too engrossed in his work to notice my presence. I missed times when he showered me his attention, but was he to blame? He suspected I was keeping sometimes from him. Now, he barely even looked my way. Just curt greetings and he goes back to whatever he was doing.I couldn't help but feel hurt by his behavior despite the fact that I clearly knew I was the reason why he changed. Right from the issue at the Bonfire he had become wary of me and I hoped fervently that they left my past to be. I wasn't hiding it from them because I wanted to gain anything, I just wanted this last opportunity to start again and rebuild my life. Afterall I was almost dead when I got into this pack.But evem worse was Carmen, lately she had been bejaing weird. I always found her handing around with Alice whenever she wasn't with me. All l
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
