Warning: This book has high sexual assault displays, but does not support any form of rape. I, Alpha Edward Parker, swear that I will keep you tied to me until I make you pay for what you did to my mate," he swore, gripping my chin in a bruising hold. “Not only will you wish for death, but you will beg for it, and it will be too far from you.” I could feel the eyes of the whole pack on us. They probably came to experience a normal wedding, but that couldn't be further from the truth. I was being married off to a groom because he wanted revenge. Tears welled, and I wanted to scream, “I am your mate; I’m the one who saved you, not her.” But I knew no one would believe me. I was his mate, how could he not recognize me? Four years ago, Amanda happened to save a total stranger, but due to a string of misunderstandings, her sister took her place. The stranger then promised a vow of betrothal to his savior. Not seeing any use in correcting the error, Amanda allowed it. That was her biggest mistake because the stranger ended up being her own mate. Caught in a web of lies and confusion, she decides to set herself free by speaking the truth. But her plans are thwarted when her sister turns up dead, and she is pinned as the main suspect. A mate out to seek revenge for another, a forced marriage, an underlying plot, a web of lies, and many dark secrets. How can Amanda navigate all these without losing sight of herself? How will she speak the truth when she has already lost her voice and has been destroyed by her own mate?
View MoreAlpha Edward's POVI could see the terrified look on Amanda's face as she quickly arranged herself and got up from the table. She looked so worried, and the sight bothered me. “Calm down,” I said to her, but she eyed me and glanced at the door.“Who is there?” I questioned.“Alpha, it's I.” I recognized the voice as one of my men. “Yes, what is it?”“Alpha, it’s time for your private meeting with Alpha Linus.” “Prepare the car. I will be out shortly.”“Roger that, Alpha,” he said and left.Turning around, I met with a furious-looking Amanda, and before I could say a word, a slap landed on my cheek. It was shocking, but somehow, I wasn’t angry; I just felt numb.“How dare you?” she spat with anger while I raised a brow at her. “You…” Her voice broke with rage, and I saw her inhale deeply, close her eyes, open them and then glare at me. “Stay away from me, Alpha Edward. If you come anywhere close, I will tell this to Matthew.” She threatened, and I raised a brow at her. “Is that to sca
Alpha Edward's POV I was surprised to see Amanda walking into my study. Initially, I thought it was one of my guards or maids. Seeing that it was Amanda, I dropped the file on the desk and raised a brow as I watched her walk up to me and stand before me, the desk separating us. Staring at her, the memories of last night in the garden flooded my thoughts. I could still hear her moans in my head, feel the tightness of her pussy wrapped around my fingers, and remember the hot, intense kiss we shared. Just the mere thought of it was already making my dick throb, and I had to compose myself. “Alpha Edward, we need to talk,” she demanded, and I gestured to the seat in front of her. “Have a seat,” I said, already knowing why she was here. She reluctantly took the seat and faced me. “What happened in the garden should never have happened,” she muttered, getting straight to the point. “I'm your beta's mate, and it's taboo to even touch me,” she spat. “What we did was an abomination and
Amanda's POVMy head was telling me to push him away, to stop this madness, but my heart and body were saying otherwise. Moaning softly, I pulled him closer and deepened the kiss, wanting more of him. It had been five whole years, and I missed his touch so much; it felt like a sleeping giant in me had awakened.Moaning between the kisses, he pulled me towards a direction, and my back hit a tree. He groaned into the kiss, kissing me like a starved beast, while I tried to match the pace of his kiss. Damn, I was losing my senses.I felt his hands lift my nightgown, and his fingers brushed against my sensitive skin, sending cold shivers down my spine. His other hand folded around my breast, still under the nightdress.I moaned and kissed him deeply, wanting more of him. His fingers shifted my underwear aside, brushing against my entrance, causing me to moan as I parted my legs for him. He rubbed the entrance of my pussy with his fingers before inserting two fingers in, which made me gasp.
Amanda's POV “Mother, I look so much like him,” Liam muttered as I led him away. “No, you don't, Liam. You are just seeing things wrongly,” I corrected him immediately, even though I knew he was right. This had been my initial fear about coming here. I was worried about Alpha Edward meeting Liam because Liam was his exact look-alike. I knew Alpha Edward would notice the resemblance, and it was beginning to trouble me. “Mother, look properly. I look so much like him, Mom, his eyes, his…" Liam argued more. “No, you don't.” I shunned him, and he frowned before looking away. Luckily, we met Beta Matthew, who took him from me and offered to show Liam around the mansion. After Liam went with Beta Matthew, I made my way to Sophia's room and found her still arranging her things. “Hi,” she greeted me, and I smiled before sitting on the bed. “Are you comfortable here?” I was concerned about her. The war had made her leave many things behind. “I think that question is supposed to
Alpha Edward’s POVMy breath hitched, and for a moment, I couldn’t breathe as I stared into the most alluringly beautiful set of sea-blue eyes that had tormented my mind and dreams for the past five years. Staring at her, I could easily call her perfection. It seems the past five years have drastically changed her. The last time I saw her, those sea-blue eyes of hers looked weak and lifeless, but the one staring right at me was so full of life. Her face, which I would call perfection, was glowing, and without being told, I knew she had lived her best life for the past five years, while the past five years have been hell for me. My eyes fell on her full lips, and I couldn’t help but stare, wishing I could pull her into my arms and kiss her while confessing to her, telling her how much I missed her.My heart pounded in my chest as I tried to gather my composure, but it was a losing battle. She was right there, the woman who had haunted my every waking moment and every dream, standing b
FIVE YEARS LATER, Amanda’s POV As Liam tightly clasped my hand, we strolled out of the airport while Sophia walked beside me. Our eyes scanned the bustling waiting area until they landed on Beta Matthew, patiently waiting for us. “Father!” Liam yelled and ran towards Beta Matthew, who also ran to him and picked him up off the floor before hugging him, “How are you, my boy?” Beta Matthew asked tenderly as he kissed Liam's forehead before setting him down. “I'm fine, father. I'm so happy that we will now be staying with you.” A big smile spread across his face as he hugged Beta Matthew again. My four-year-old son, Liam, has thought of Beta Matthew as his biological father. Beta Matthew has been an incredible stand-in father for Liam, and I didn’t know what I would have done without him. Liam wished for his family to live in one home, but it was impossible. I stayed in France while Beta Matthew resided in California. Liam has pleaded with Beta Matthew and me to live together
Alpha Edward’s POV Going through the file in my hand, I tried to concentrate, but my thoughts constantly drifted to Amanda. Despite it almost being three months since she left, I haven’t been able to take her off my mind. I craved to see her beautiful face, hear her voice, and sniff her scent. I wished I could go over to France and meet with her, but I knew I couldn’t; she wasn’t mine in the first place, and I had to respect that. A knock came on my door, but before I could respond, the door to my study opened and Matthew walked in, excited and smiling widely. I furrowed my brow and closed the file in my hand, casting a suspicious glance at him. It had been a long time since I had seen him this happy. “And what is the good news? You seem so happy.” “Yes, I’m really happy.” He took the seat across from me and smiled widely, which made me so curious. Whatever was making him happy must be really big. “Tell me.” I urged, eager to know what the news was. “I will be a father s
Amanda’s POV “Go on, read it,” Sophia urged, but out of panic, I couldn’t. Instead, I stretched the test results to her. “Please read it yourself,” I mumbled in a shaky voice. For the past few weeks, I had been feeling strangely, and when I told Sophia, she asked me when I last saw my monthly flow. That was when it dawned on me that I didn’t see my monthly flow last month. Panic surged through me, but Sophia comforted me, telling me that it might just be a change in my system and urged me to go run a general test. A few minutes later, I went to the clinic and got my result, but I couldn’t open it because of fear of the unknown. “You want me to open it?” “Yes, please.” I nodded. She took the envelope from me, carefully opened it, and began reading through the content. With a pounding heart, I watched her, trying to get answers from her facial expression, but she had a blank look on her face, making it hard for me. “What does it say?” My palms had become sweaty. Sophia to
Alpha Edward’s POV I flung away the files stacked up on my desk. My mind was a mess. Ever since Amanda left, I have never been myself. It felt as if a part of me left with her. I couldn’t explain how I became so attached to her. I thought it would be easy to forget about her. In fact, I have had countless sex over the weeks, thinking that perhaps it would help me forget about her, but alas, I was wrong. I couldn’t take my mind off her. I thought of her every single day. I imagined her in my head. I thought of the sex we had in the garden. Those images were unable to leave my mind; it seemed they were stuck there forever. I wished I could have her back. I wished I could go over to France and bring her back, but I didn’t have any right to do so. She was the mate of my best friend and beta. How could I fight for her? What would people say? That I was fighting over a woman who is the mate of my beta? Sighing exhausted, I leaned on my seat, but just then, a knock came on my door. Sensing
