AMBER POV
Blood drips down the sides of my neck as Thatcher's hands rub themselves all over my exposed body. From my butt cheeks to my thighs and breasts...nothing is off-limits to him in this position. I feel so vulnerable and alone.
My sobs choke me as realization sets in. I can't even beg for mercy as Thatcher gets closer and closer to my vagina. I can feel the heat rising from his genitals, hitting my sensitive skin, and my breathing spikes even higher. I am practically hyperventilating while sobbing.
But what else can I do? I can't fight. He is holding my neck! What do I do? What can I do? More tears pour down my face as utter despair consumes me. My brain is coming up with no solution on how to save myself.
I feel something hot and hard poke at my vagina, and I scream just as the door to my father's office explodes ap
AMBER POV When Lucian comes back into the room, I expect to see my knight in shining armor, but instead, the look on his face reminds me of the first time I ever saw him. The look when he was staring at me with his gun pressed to the back of "other" Amber's head. "What's wrong," I ask, even though the situation all around us is wrong. I mean, my dad's body is in the other room, and I was just seconds away from being raped, so a lot is wrong. But Lucian was not like this before he walked off. He was actually pretty calm. "Thatcher...that pervert took pictures of you," Lucian growls, and my eyes drop down to his hand. A stack of at least thirty pictures are being crushed in his fist, obscuring my view, but I can still see the pink color of flesh printed on a few. A knot twists in my stomach as I go to step towards Lucian, but he
LUCIAN/BEAST POV Solitude. Protection. Solitude and protection. I need the pack. I need my mate to be surrounded by security while I comfort her. The pack is two hours away, and the quickest path involves humans and highways. But I can't lead humans to pack...must take a slower way. My mental capacity falls lower as Amber's tears begin to make rivers through my dark fur. My arms squeeze her tighter as my body tries to communicate my protection wordlessly. It's as if her mental breakdown is causing me to go complete animal. All of my basic instincts are returning from pup hood. The only cognitive thought I can think of is "get to pack." I need to get to the pack. I need to have my comrades around me so I can adequately provide for Amber. So while my focus is on her protection, their focus can be on our protection. A doub
LUCIAN POV "What will you do with them," Amber asks as soon as we get to my office. Different ideas pop into my mind, but none are truly ideal. I need more time to decide. I don't want to decide too quickly and make the wrong choices again. "I'm not sure. I don't want to leave them high and dry, but I can't risk the pack by not relocating tomorrow. Brazil is our best bet," I explain while heading towards my desk. "Umm. Can you...can you put on some clothes please," Amber asks while getting a good view of my butt, and I smirk before nodding. I open a drawer and pull on the gym shorts I keep there before turning back towards her. My eyes zero in on the fatigue under her eyes and the dried blood on the sides of her neck. And my amused attitude immediately evaporates. Remorse punctures my soul and guilt pract
AMBER POV "What will you do with them," I ask as soon as we make it to Lucian's office. "I'm not sure. I don't want to leave them high and dry, but I can't risk the pack by not relocating tomorrow. Brazil is our best bet," he says while walking butt naked towards his desk. My cheeks blush a little as I check out his muscular back and tight butt. I have no idea how old Lucian is, but he is definitely all man. Maybe I shouldn't be kissing him...I'm only a sophomore in high school. Oh my gosh...I made out with a man. A naked man! "Umm. Can you...can you put on some clothes please," I ask as I begin to feel more uncomfortable rather than attracted. He nods and immediately opens a drawer to his desk. He pulls out a pair of gym shorts and tugs them on before facing me again. When he does, his happy demeanor seems to shift instantly. His eyes roam over m
AMBER POV "And they are okay with all of them coming," Kohn asks as we watch pack member after pack member board a private plane that is massive. After last night I am still a little annoyed at Kohn for causing more friction between Amber and I. I am his Alpha. He might be my friend, but I miss the days in which he feared me. "Kohn, do not question me again. I have fixed the situation. The females are coming with us. I still haven't forgotten last night," Lucian growls, and a shudder runs down my back at the memory. "Where will the pups be," I ask curiously, trying to pull Lucian's attention to me. I don't want him trying to submit Kohn on the asphalt. I am so tired of seeing violence. "In the cargo hold. Our lives will be very different in Brazil. Much of our material possessions won't be c
AMBER POV I didn't pay attention to anything when we arrived in the little village hidden deep in the jungle a few hours ago. Lucian took me start to a simple structure, and I haven't left since. I keep trying to sleep, but when I close my eyes, I see everyone I have lost...Kohn, other Amber, the station attendant, my dad, my mom, and even Thatcher. Kenny isn't dead, but I will never see him again. So his face flashes amongst the rest. My entire body feels hollow. I don't think I can even grieve anymore. My eyes are dry, and my throat hurts from the dry sobs. Not to mention the new environment is causing me to sweat profusely, probably using the moisture my body typically makes tears with. I hate feeling this pain. I hate feeling all this guilt. It's all my fault. If I had never blown up that basement all this would have never happened. Lu
LUCIAN POV I growl as Alpha Bietio rattles off news of packs moving against humans around the world in Portuguese. I don't need to know any of this information right now. I need to know how my second is doing. I need to call our emergency cells to see if he picked one up, and Alpha Bietio won't hand over the only phone they have. As he hears my growl, his eyes flash yellow, and he shows me his fangs. (Current language being used is Portuguese) "I invited you here—this my territory. I am Alpha here. This is important. You think the other beings will let werewolves harm humans? You forget we are the abominations. Humans are natural to this world, just as they are. We aren't. If too many humans die, they will take action. They hate us," Bietio shouts, and my mind works quickly to translate his words. When I finally und
AMBER POV After a few days in Brazil with the other pack, Kohn arrived, and he wasn't alone. He had found his mate along his journey to us...but there was a problem. His mate doesn't speak English, and she doesn't speak a language that anyone here knows. So we can't communicate with her at all, basically even to this day. Another problem with Kohn bringing his mate in my book is he kidnapped her. She is human and doesn't understand anything happening around her, which makes me feel so bad for her. The first week she was here, she kept trying to run away. Kohn would have to go get her and bring her back almost every morning, but that stopped happening. Now she just sits and stares off in space. I usually sit with her, but I also help with chores when Lucian isn't looking. Lucian talks to me at night about what is happening out in the world, and to be ho
