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|I had a dream that night. No, it was a nightmare. A recurrence of my horrible past. The faces of the two men who have made life a living hell for me tormented me even in my sleep. Their harsh slaps caused me pain even in my dreams and their words were even harsher. “Whore.”“Weakling.”“You should have died in place of your mother.”“Just die already if are going to be of no use to me.”There were shards of broken glass in my dreams and blood from the wounds they cut open. Tears and cries of pain as I am pummeled my fists. The jittery fear when the door of my room opens and my supposed mate would come in to force himself on me. The strings of events in my Dreams were endless but there was a sudden ray of sunshine this time. At my lowest, the face of the man I’d just met appeared in my dreams and instead of being afraid of him, I felt the need to be closer to him knowing he’d protect me. He made all of the other faces disappear and became tye subject of my dreams. My eyes wer
RAZE|Thoughts of my Amber eyed obsession had kept me awake all through the night. Usually, I didn’t sleep much. I’ve trained myself to be alert at any given time in case of an attack so I barely slept.A part of me knew it was an excuse to keep the nightmares away. You know, the ones where I watched my parents die and I had to take charge of my life at a very tender age. I hated seeing that same thing over and over again and so I’d rather stay awake with the bell of my best whiskey and when I finally find sleep, it is during the wee hours of the morning when I assumed the agents of nightmares don’t work after dark. This time, I didn’t sleep either but I had a different thought to process all through the night. I could only think of Amber and the moments I’d first met her, whimpering helplessly and stuttering when I asked for her name. It had me thinking of what she would sound like whimpering like that under me. Whimpering from noth pain and pleasure that I’d give to her when the
AMBERi ran back to the room like my pants were caught on fire. Something was burning anyways, it was not just my pants. My cheeks were so inflamed by the heat of the words Alpha Raze had said to me. The burning feeling made me shocked at myself and now easily shaken. I was by mere words that it made heat to also pull in between my thighs. He’d known it even before I did. That I was aroused by just standing so close to him and I’d been too embarrassed not to run from him the way I did The close proximity made me realize something I must have just subtly looked over when we first met.The male was carved like a god! A freaking sculptured work of art that took precision at every single point where the features of his face met. The full eyebrows shaped into a perfect deceiving arc that would give every female a run from their money and dark long lashes that fluttered like they breathed the air of their own. His eyes were mesmerizing, and his inviting lips called to be kissed till they
AMBER| The festive music got even louder and accompanied by loud cheers that sounded like they came from both men and women. Zane got out of the car and came round to open the door so I could do the same. And then he started to walk towards where the noise was coming from.It was a huge house bigger than all of the other houses around the Main Pack center I’ve noticed since we drove here. I suspected it was the pack house where everyone met to have fun at least twice in a month. Most times, it’s to celebrate an important feat of the pack and other times, it’s for mating rituals. At least that was how it’s done back at my pack. My father, Alpha Reagan didn’t even have to oversee anything as young and hot-blooded wolves dominated such events. However, with the night walkers pack, it was unpredictable. I didn’t know too much about them other than their history of wars successfully fought and won. “We’re going in there?” I asked when Zane seemed like he had his eyes set on the place wh
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
