AMBER
“What did you just say?” My father asked.
I jerked the minute I heard him ask, as I saw the surprised look on the faces of the elders that sat around him.
“Dear child, do you mind repeating what you had just said a while ago?” One of the elders asked.
I was suddenly short on words as I contemplated whether or not to repeat what I had just said.
I looked into the eyes of my father as I saw the anger and rage he had.
And it was looking like he was going to pounce on me any moment from now if I don’t start talking.
I suddenly wondered if it was a good idea to come over to my dad’s and have him informed.
As it was seeming like I had made a bad choice coming.
“I…I said,” I stuttered, still not being able to find the right words to finally utter to them.
“Reeca happens to be teaming up with other rivalry packs to have them take over our pack” I voiced out as I rushed my words hoping they wouldn't ask for me to repeat myself.
And the next thing I knew, my father burst into loud laughter as the other elders of our pack joined in the laughter as well.
I felt embarrassed that the one good thing I could do that probably could count was sort of a joke to my father.
I suddenly wondered what they had heard that sounded so funny.
“I’m not lying Pa!!” I yelled.
“There you go again,” My father said, clapping his hands.
“Seeking the attention you don’t deserve,” he said with an evil smirk on.
I suddenly wondered why he hated me this much.
I was his flesh and blood, but he never cared about that.
All he cared about was the betterment of the pack and power.
Nothing else…
“You are going nuts child,” another elder said as I met eyes with that of my father's. Who was staring at me with so much disdain?
“If you are seeking attention so bad, go get some from your Mate and stop wasting your time trying to get mine,” my father said.
“You had better put yourself to good use, by sealing up your bond with your mate. Thereby making out pack even stronger than ever” he said.
Well, so he thought anyway.
I felt so hurt hearing him say that, as I had predicted from the very beginning, and knew for a fact that he wasn't going to hear me out.
And with him not having to, it meant the doom of our pack in the hands of our enemies.
My father happened to be making the biggest mistake of his life without him even knowing.
And that was so unfortunate.
I had slowly given up on talking him out of it, as they had been completely brainwashed by Reeca.
What they all taught was also after the betterment of the pack.
My father had me dismissed right after they had made me so embarrassed in front of the elders of our pack.
And I have never been more embarrassed.
I was led out by my father's guard, who had always been by him from the day I was born.
And had always been a loyal guard.
I got out of the pack house to find Reece by the car smiling at me.
I froze the minute I saw him come out of the car.
I guess my dad had placed a call to him, letting him know I had been here on his behalf.
“Nice try” he said as he had an evil smirk.
“Get into the car,” he ordered.
Without relenting, I hurried off into the car and was hoping he wouldn’t end up having me dealt with.
The drive back to his house was silent, as I had nothing to explain concerning what I had gone home to do.
“You overheard us last night right?” He asked, looking straight into my eyes.
I looked away not wanting for him to tell if I was lying or not from just looking at my face.
As I wasn’t sure what his wolf powers were yet.
I gave a nod in disagreement with what he had just asked.
And was hoping he would believe me without asking more questions.
“Lier!!!” He yelled.
Anyways it's a good thing they didn’t believe you.
You were just one step to ruining my plans with having your father’s pack finally taken to its rightful owners.
“Did you just say rightful owners?” I yelled wanting to make sure I heard him correctly.
“As soon as your father has me sworn in as his successor,” He said.
“We strike!!” He yelled as he laughed out so loud.
What the hell?… I muttered to myself.
Wondering how someone could be so desperate in gaining more power than he should be having.
“I’m actually not the crazy one here but you are” I said almost in tears as I tried fighting back the tears.
There wasn’t any use crying in front of him anyway, he was cold and heartless.
“I actually did love having your father around anyway” he said smiling to me.
“Why the hell are you using the past word “did”?” I asked, feeling curious about what he planned on doing to my father.
Not that I cared that much, but he was my father anyway.
So definitely I would care a bit.
We had pulled over at the garage of his house, as I admired how neatly packed his cars were.
But that didn’t change the fact that he was a meanie and a forged mate.
All I saw in him was him just wanting to gain power.
And I could tell from his actions that he wasn’t going to stop until he had so many packs under him and finally being their successors right after getting mated go thei daughters.
All for Power…
AMBER
The day finally came as we were all gathered in the pack house waiting for the ceremony to kick start.
I stared at him in disgust across the room, as he sat with his hands placed on the table.
I noticed that was his favorite sitting position.
As I saw him put on an evil smirk like he had won it all.
But this wasn’t the end anyways. I thought to myself.
Soon afterward the ceremony kicked start as everyone stood cheering them on.
"To us!" Father yells proudly, raising his glass in the air.
"To us!" Everyone chorus, clicking their glasses with themselves.
I wasn’t so much of a fan of having to throw a party for a common thing that we could just say with our lips.
I stood right next to my father, who from the look he had on wasn’t so happy seeing me around him.
I watched how happy everyone looked in the room.
Without any of them having to know a single thing they had gotten themselves into.
Afterward, the part where I had to hold hands with my newly mated wolf.
Whom I was forced to be mated with.
I tried fighting back tears that welled up in my eyes, but I couldn't hold them back as I let them roll down my cheeks.
The pack I once knew to be strong, now seemed weak and already taken right before my very eyes.
How could my father allow this to happen? I thought to myself.
The minute he held onto my hand, I flinched.
My father had his eyes wide open the moment he realized what I had just done.
“What are you doing?” he whispered, leaning forward to me and probably wondering what had gone wrong.
He held on to my hand for the second time wanting to join our hands together.
But for the second time, I flinched.
All I had in mind was the safety of the pack, but still, no one believed me.
Not even my father.
“You are his mate whether you like it or not,” My father said, tightening his grip on my wrist, not minding the fact that he was hurting already.
“So stop this and let's have this finally sealed,” he said in a very harsh tone.
I saw how Reece suddenly brightened up his face with a smile, seeing that my father was completely on his side.
“I don't want him as my mate” I yelled, calling the attention of the other persons that had come to join the party.
“I can't be mates to a traitor,” I said, wiping off the tears that were rolling down my cheeks.
“Don't you dare” my father said, raising his hands in the air like he had wanted to make me regret every word I was saying.
“I reject you Alpha Reece” I yelled.
“I can't let you take over what's rightfully ours,” I said.
“What has come over you child?” one of the elders from our pack who had been watching at a close range.
“Father please” I begged.
My father stared at me with so much rage in his eyes and it suddenly felt as though he was going to have my head chopped off and fed to the hyenas.
I knew this was finally going to be my end as the only Omega wolf to my father.
Finally, a way he could get rid of me.
“For just this once that you could make yourself useful, you blew it all into thin air” my father said letting go off my wrist.
“I have never been more disgusted with what you have just done” he said looking so disappointed.
“And for that I’m left with no choice but to have you banished from my pack” he said.
I froze the moment I heard him say the words “banish”.
How was it that my own father had me barnished from my home.
“Now leave” he yelled.
The minute he came close pushing me off, I immediately had a rethink on accepting both their offers.
“Guards!!!” my father yelled.
I jerked when I saw how angry he looked.
I went straight down on my knees begging and pleading hoping he would listen.
“Guards!! Don't just stand there have her thrown out” he ordered.
Reece seemed really upset about a while ago with what I did as he walked out on us.
Probably not being able to stand the shame I had caused him right in front of the whole pack.
I was dragged out of the pack house without even the grace of picking up my stuff.
“Move it” the guard who held onto my arm pulled me out.
I saw the sad look on the faces of the people that stood by watching, as some of them looked completely like I actually deserved every treatment I was getting.
We had gotten to the woods demarcating our rivalry pack from us when I realized how dark it looked even during the day.
I closed my eyes, wishing it was all a nightmare but apparently it wasn’t.
It was reality playing right in front of me.
I stood looking into the woods for what seemed like a minute before finally taking the bold step.
I gave a last look at my father who looked so angry as he stood by watching.
Everyone stood there watching as I ventured into the wild forest, without a clue on where I was headed.
But all I suddenly wanted was to get away from the pack which had rejected me.
Walking into the woods, I felt so scared as I imagined being eaten by a stray wolf.
I had my hand wrapped around my chest as I went through the bushes.
I was so engrossed in my thoughts of wanting to get away without realizing I was headed for a dead trap.
As I stepped forward, I stepped on what seemed like an alarm as it kept on screaming.
I bent to the ground, wondering if anyone else had heard the sound as well.
As I did that,
“Krrrh” I stepped on a tree branch.
“Who’s there?” A man yelled from behind the bushes.
Fuck!!!…
Psycho!!!
AMBER I had my hand to my mouth the minute I sensed he heard the sound from a broken branch. I felt my heart beating so fast the moment I realized he wasn’t alone. And it wasn’t long before a bunch of male wolves joined him as well. The Border to another territory… I guess they had heard the sound about a while ago. I had gotten into another territory filled with male wolves who seemed like they were ever-ready to take down any trespassers. I held my breath for a minute, hoping none of them had the power to sense a she-wolf from her heartbeat. I crawled to the nearest tree which had lots and lots of shrubs. And as soon I had myself hidden, I had my head raised trying to see if they had given up finding me. But instead, they tripled. I stayed as quiet as possible, hoping not to be found as I couldn’t tell my fate with these men by just having to see them here. As I felt too exhausted from holding my breath, I exhaled. And then, one of them had gotten the sound of the beat o
RAZEI'm standing on my balcony with a glass of tequila, overseeing my men that are training in the front yard of our pack house. The crescent moon shines its gleam on them, giving a little soul to their fights. It's midnight, and though they should be asleep, they aren't. We've got a daily routine of training at midnight, and we always stick to it. I can't let them slack off on their training. We've got a reputation to keep – as the most feral and dominating pack in the werewolf kingdom. Slacking off will only make us weaker and less dreaded. That's something we can never allow to happen.I watch them with half-assed interest because my thoughts were running wild. One of my Gammas yells out instructions to a couple of my men who are sparring in their wolf forms. It was initially my Beta, Zane, who was giving out those instructions. But an hour ago, he got an integer alarm from our patrols at the border. He ran off to go check it out and has yet to return. He's yet to mind-link me
AMBER“Beautiful…”That word is one no one has ever directed at me. The most I get is plain even when no has ever called me ugly to my face. It is the very first time I will hear such a word said to me and from the most unexpected person.I stare blankly at the wickedly handsome man in front of me with the softest gray eyes I have ever seen. His eyes seem mesmerized by something and I have a hard time believing I am the one responsible for making the eyes of the most feared Alpha grow so soft.Alpha Raze Von Miller is everything like he has been described.Devilishly handsome and just when I thought the men I met back at the borders are the biggest I have ever seen, they are nothing compared to the man in front of me who could pass for a giant.I don’t have to feel his body, to touch him to know how strong and hard every muscle of his body is. It’s right there in front of me, stretching the T-shirt he had on even when it looks like the perfect fit. This man in front of me has killed h
RAZENothing has fascinated me in a long time. Nothing has stirred a different feeling in my chest other than to destroy, conquer and make my name a prayer on the lips of everyone who is a victim of my power. All that has changed in just a few minutes of meeting a battered girl with beautiful Amber eyes who has somehow stumbled into my pack and looks lost like a puppy. Of all the things that did it for me, it’s an Omega like her and from one of the packs that I have overlooked when the Alpha constantly asked to be allies with the night walkers pack. Alpha Regan is a popular name amongst packs and even when I fail to relate with other packs so well, I make it a mission to investigate everything about them to decide if they would be a threat to my rule or my pack and eliminate them before they become too strong to cause me trouble. The Wolfsbane pack is quite an impressive pack and many times, its Alpha has reached out to me by sending letters that sometimes never even get to me bec
AMBER. I still find it unbelievable that I came face to face with Alpha Raze of the night walkers pack and walked out of his dungeon alive and unharmed except for the bruises his men already left on me before they dragged me with them down to the dungeon.But what is more shocking and unbelievable is how he carried me in his arms like I weighed nothing. How he carried me in his arms like I wasn’t a trespasser in his pack.It was the very first time I would be treated with such tenderness. First time I would be looked upon with eyes that didn’t hold malice or promise of how they would make me suffer. It was the first time any man would make me feel like I was worth more than being a worthless Omega.I had clung to him like my life depended on it. Buried my head into his chest like it was where I was meant to be. I didn’t know why I did it. It was just as if my body knew what to do, instinctively leaning into the man who is supposed to be a walking danger sign. Maybe it was the fact t
RAZE“Come, sit.” I beckon to the girl I have been waiting for for so long now in the dining hall of my private home. Her Amber eyes dart across the room, uncertainty dancing inside of them. I watch as she grips the ends of the dress she is wearing tightly, enough to make her knuckles turn ash white against the red material. I want to stand and go to her myself, bring her to sit with me but I know better. She is terrified. It is still there in her eyes and I’m afraid I’d scare her even more as I remember how she flinches at my touch. This is a new one. This feeling of wanting someone to feel something else other than fear for me but it is something expected of an Omega. Submission and fear is a part of them. It is why Alpha Males like me are drawn to them like a moth to a flame. Just like I am now. I am freaking drawn to everything about the omega in front of me. Being battered and covered in bruises earlier didn’t make her any less attractive but now that she’s dressed in the re
AMBER| Alpha Raze’s words still have me in a bind. Is it really possible for me to live in a pack filled with warriors who have only been trained to kill and conquer? It might be possible but it isn’t plausible. The food and the reception might be good but it doesn’t change the fact that the pack abs the man that rules over it are dangerous.There is no way I can stay here.I take a napkin off the table to clean the sides of my mouth. I was already full and even if I wasn’t, his words are enough to fill me to the brim. Like I didn’t hear him the first time, I ask him again, “You are going to keep me here?” “Yes, Amber. Till the investigation is done then we’d know what to do with you.” He says with all seriousness. “How long will that take?” I ask. Alpha Raze relaxes in his seat. As he does, I watch how his muscles flex in his right t-shirt. And when he realizes a finger to run it through his buzz beards, I follow the movement warily. It is crazy how the Alpha terrifies and int
ALPHA KING’S POV.I stared at the young lycan, shielding her from my gaze. Even after knowing I was her mate, she refused to move from there." Cassie" She stared at her mom " You need to move from there. You can't stop him from being with her, you know?"" No mom. I'm not trying to stop him, I've had enough drama with mates that the last thing I want is to interfere with one. But this is my friend we are talking about, and I'm not leaving here until she's ready to see him"She glared at me again and I chuckled" I've waited long enough, I think I can wait a little bit more"" But-"" Don't worry, Alpha. I've stopped my men from coming over here and I don't think your daughter will be ready to move unless my mate is ready herself. So the both of you can just go back and wait for her, and I promise that she'll go back immediately my mate decides to see me" I stared at her " Deal?"She rolled her eyes before shrugging " I'm not a fan of intimate scenes, so the minute she allows you to c
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
