The Dark Ball: The Dark Lycan King’s Fated Mate 18: You must forgive me
Amara POV As the day rolled by I found myself thinking of our moment in the library. I thought to ask Estra about his family, but I think I’d rather get that information from him, instead. If he’ll ever tell me. “This is the gown.” Estra held up a beautiful emerald green gown. My eyes slightly widened at the sight of it. “Wow.” I said. My fingers reaching for the silky fabric. Sebastian picked this for me? You wouldn’t think so.. I never knew a man could have such good taste in women’s things. She began to dress me, tying on a few layers of skirts before pulling the dress over my head. Then she laced the back of the dress. She did my hair in loose curls, then pinned the front back so that I wouldn’t have hair in my face. She placed my crown on my head and began to do light make up. “You are so beautiful, my Queen.” She said, a smile forming on her small lips. “Thank you, Estra.” I returned the smile. Once we had finished, she escorted me to the foyer where Sebastian
The Dark Ball: The Dark Lycan King’s Fated Mate 19. She is a fine woman
Sebastian POV Seeing Amara wear the gown I’d chosen for her pleased me. I wanted us to look like a happy, united couple in front of my cousin. Better for him to think we’re happy than not. The last thing I needed was for him to try something with her. And knowing him, he definitely will before he marries this Lola girl. Aside from that, she looked beautiful in the gown. She looked like a Queen. And that’s exactly how I want people to look at her. Not as an Alpha’s daughter. But as my wife. They would attempt walk all over her if they felt she wasn’t filling her role. Amara was silent for the entire dinner, aside from when answering those who spoke to her. I had a feeling she would be like that.. she’s a quiet little thing unless she’s giving me her attitude. I must admit, I kind of enjoy seeing the fire burn bright within her when she’s angry with me. After dinner had ended, she excused herself to ready for bed. Gatlin escorted her out of the dining hall while I stayed and
The Dark Ball: The Dark Lycan King’s Fated Mate 20. Hideous
Amara POV This morning I woke up to an empty room. Sebastian had gone to do Goddess knows what, and I ended up spending breakfast alone with Lola and her future husband, Braden. It was a torturous hour, I had to excuse myself just to breathe without feeling like I was being stared at like I was a slab of meat that was so either be stabbed or eaten entirely. Thankfully, Sebastian left Gatlin to watch over me and make sure nothing were to happen. I’m not even sure who I was worried more about.. Lola or Braden. Gatlin walked with me to my art room and I began to draw, looking out of the window that showed a field of beautiful flowers. I thought it was the perfect scenery to draw. I had asked him for some time alone, thinking no one would bother me. But little did I know I wouldn’t get to enjoy the peace and quiet for very long. I was really enjoying my time until a familiar scent wafted around me, making my nose crinkle in disgust. “Amara.” Lolas high pitched voi
The Dark Ball: The Dark Lycan King’s Fated Mate 21. I did this to myself
Amara POV His tongue swirled around mine eliciting a moan from my throat. Goddess.. He tastes divine. Our kiss was so heated.. I could feel the heat rising between us. I could feel it all throughout my body. I wanted him. But I knew he wouldn’t take me. For whatever reason, I just knew he wouldn’t. He held me with one hand by the small of my back, the other hand running into my wet hair and tugging on it to pull my head back. He kissed down my jaw to my neck, lingering there longer.. soaking in my scent, tasting my skin. A growl ripped through him as his kisses grew more intense, they almost hurt. He was nibbling, biting, and sucking like he was losing all control. He gripped me tightly, pulling me as close to him as I could possibly get.. almost squeezing the life out of me. “Sebastian,” I whispered, now pushing on his chest to try and get him off. He was too strong for me to move.. he held onto me so tight I felt he would leave bruises on my skin. It wasn’t until I f
The Dark Ball: The Dark Lycan King’s Fated Mate 22. Oblivious
Amara POV Dark, empty.. nothing. That’s all I can see. All that I’m surrounded by. What happened? Where am I? I felt movement around me but I couldn’t move myself. There was pain, but it seemed to ease as every moment passed. Damn it Amara.. what’s the last thing you remember? I tried so hard to think until finally, small bits started to come back. I was relaxing. Then Sebastian.. he.. He marked me. My eyes fluttered open and I slowly looked around. My hand flew to my neck but I felt no pain. No open wounds, only the raised bumps of the scar of my mark. “Sebastian?” I croaked. All I heard was a deep huff towards the foot of the bed. It didn’t sound like Sebastian. Instantly, I heard the thuds and scratches as Sebastian’s lycan stood from the floor in front of the bed and stared at me with his red eyes. “Shift please,” I spoke, my voice cracking like I hadn’t spoken in weeks. I was surprised to see Sebastian’s lycan be anything but angry or losing
The Dark Ball: The Dark Lycan King’s Fated Mate 23. Hardheaded
Amara POV “Are you sure you didn’t just mix up her words?” He asked, giving me an expression I couldn’t quite comprehend. Was he being serious right now? “No.” I heard her loud and clear.” I stated, an irritated look on my face. He let out a sigh and stood up. “I will talk with her.” He said. “No. You won’t. I already handled her. I don’t need you stepping up to defend me every time something happens. I can handle things perfectly fine, myself.” “It is considered treason to speak to your queen in such ways. I could have her banished from the lands. I could have her executed. I could even deny her the ability to marry my cousin. “It’s fine, Sebastian. Don’t go trying to kill the girl over this. It has been handled. Besides, if she marries your cousin soon, they’ll be leaving.” I reminded him. “You’re hardheaded. You do realize that, right?” He asked. I nodded, “of course.” He let out a breath and shook his head before standing. “If that is what you wish. I wi
The Dark Ball: The Dark Lycan King’s Fated Mate 1. The Dark King
Amara POV “Wh-what do you mean?” I asked my Father. My heart was thumping erratically in my chest as my fear perfumed the air. Am I going crazy, or did he just say what I think he did? He’d pulled me aside to tell me something urgent. Something he says may change my life forever.. and the words he’s saying only makes me believe that it’s true. “You’ve been chosen as one of the two girls from our pack to attend the Dark Kings Royal ball.” He said. He clasped his hands together and sat back in his chair as he watched me. “But.. why?” I asked with wide eyes. “He’s choosing a wife. He went through every packs list of unmated females over 18, and he selected you and Lola from our pack.” He said. A wife? Another.. wife? I couldn’t believe my ears. Surely, I must be hearing my Father wrong.. am I hallucinating? Am I dreaming or something? I pinched myself.. but nothing happened. Then I dug my fingernails into my palms, cutting through the skin and letting b
The Dark Ball: The Dark Lycan King’s Fated Mate 2. Watch where you’re walking
Amara POV The days seemed to go by in a blur, and the next thing I knew, i was sitting in the carriage in front of the Dark Kings palace. I nervously fiddled with the sheer black skirts of my dress as the carriage door opened. My Father had my dress made by one of the top designers in the surrounding packs. The black color looked amazing against my pale skin. It even matched my hair perfectly. The bottom of the dress was see through. Thankfully, I had the proper undergarments on underneath, so you could only see my legs and arms. The torso looks like a corset, which is uncomfortable but very beautiful. The sleeves are long and flare out towards my wrists with lace at the ends. And there was lace at the bottom of the dress where it spilled out across the carriage floor. It’s a wonder that I’ve even been able to keep it in the corner where I sit. I’m not sure how anyone expects me to dance in this dress.. but I guess I’ll have to make it work. “Hurry up. We’re al

Amara POV“Your maid seems very comfortable in your presence.” He said before taking a bite of his food.I sucked in a breath, “yes, we are close.” “We are having dinner with my cousin later tonight.” He said. I nodded my head and went to take a drink of my tea when his hand grabbed my wrist, stopping me from moving any further.“I have chosen a gown for you. It is in our chambers. I wish for you to wear it.” He added.I looked at him, my brows furrowed.“A gown?” I asked. “Yes, Amara.”“Okay, I will.” I said, not questioning it further.He let go of my wrist and continued talking, “my cousin is a lecherous man. So I’d appreciate it if you stayed with Gatlin.. one of your lady maids or with me for the entire evening. Don’t wander by yourself. I wouldn’t do this dinner if it wasn’t imperative.” He said. “Yes, I understand.” I said with a nod.He sat there quietly for a few moments, just looking at me.“You snuck out.” He said. His eyes drifted down my gown before he looked away.“I

Amara POVHe did this for me? “How is your side?” Sebastian asked, rubbing the back of his neck with his hand.I looked down, my hand immediately feeling the scar through the gown.“It’s fine.” I said. I pinched the gown between my fingers, not really knowing what else to say.I didn’t want to make him feel bad for it.“May I see?” He asked, taking a few steps closer to me.“I.. yes, you may.” I spoke.He reached for my gown and I froze. He’ll have to lift it just to get a look. He kneeled down and took a deep breath, his hand raising my gown past my hips.I swallowed hard when his fingertips grazed the scar. Tingles spread from his touch making goosebumps rise on my skin. It is a sensual feeling.. having him touch me in such ways. It’s another thing I’ll never admit to him.. enjoying his touch.“I really am sorry.” He whispered. I almost couldn’t even hear him.“I know.” I whispered back. He grabbed my hip and I gasped, our eyes locking instantly. It felt like years that we stared

Amara POV“What we’re you thinking, Amara? You could be dead! I could’ve killed you!” He snapped as he paced around our chambers.“But you didn’t! I’m fine, and so it that servant.” I said as I crossed my arms and glared at him. Goddess, this man! He shook his head as he pointed at me. “Do you have a death wish or something? Do you really hate me that much that you’d jump in front of me when I’m like that? You’re lucky all I did was that.” He said as he pointed at my blood soaked gown.I furrowed my brows, “Hate you? You’re my mate, I could never hate you.” I said. Looking away from him in embarrassment.The room fell silent.I could never.. ever hate him. I don’t like him very much, but hate? No. Never in my wildest dreams.“Then why?” He asked. “Just because you go around all mad at night, killing servants, doesn’t mean I will sit back let you.” “Watch it, Amara.” He growled, his eyes flashing crimson.“Goddess, you’re just so awful! Can’t you just be grateful that I kept you fro
