Alpha Edward’s POV

As she left, I had the urge to go after her, to plead and ask her to forgive me, but just as she had said, sorry was never enough. Romantic dinners and presents would never match up to the terrible things I did to her. Inhaling deeply, I left the rooftop and went back to my room. As I paced around with a glass of whiskey in my hand, my thoughts turned to memories. I could still recall all the painful things I did to her, and just the memories of them were driving me insane. I couldn’t believe how I had turned into such a beast. How could I have allowed my pain to turn me into such a monster? What was I thinking, doing all those unimaginable things? Why didn’t I regain my senses and stop? Why couldn’t I control my pain and anger?

Guilt and pain consumed me, and I wished I could turn back the hands of time; I would have done so many things differently. A knock landed on my door, and when I allowed the person in, I realized it was a guard.

    Amanda’s POV I was going through some designs for a client when a knock came on my door. Inviting the person in, the door opened, and a maid entered, carrying a large white teddy bear bigger than Liam. My brow furrowed, and I stood up.“Miss, this is for you,” the maid said, and I furrowed my brow. “From whom?” I asked, my excitement rising. I had always longed for such a gigantic teddy bear, especially for cuddling at night. In the past five years of loneliness, I often felt the need for someone or something to cuddle.“I have no idea, miss. A delivery man brought it, and your name was on the note,” she replied, handing me a note, which I opened and read aloud. “Happy birthday, Amanda. I hope this teddy bear brings you the warmth and comfort you deserve. You've been through a lot, and I hope this brings a smile to your face. Always remember you are loved.”I reread the note, staring at the beautiful teddy bear. “You can keep it on the bed, thank you,” I told the maid, who gently pla

His smirk widened.“What do you say?” he asked while I furrowed my brow, confused. “Do you want the better and bigger bear?” he teased.I scoffed and rolled my eyes. “Fuck you,” I grunted and walked away, and thankfully he didn’t stop or come after me.Back in my room, I rested on the door and breathed deeply. “Get a grip on yourself, Amanda,” I murmured to myself. “You can't let him know he's having such an effect on you,” I grumbled and left the door.Trying to focus on work was impossible, so I decided to get some fresh air in the garden. Leaving my room, I made my way there, but my eyes spotted the swimming pool, and I walked over to it. It had been so long since I'd had a good swim, so I decided to dive in and calm my nerves.After removing my clothes, I slipped into the water and sighed in relief as the cold water enveloped me.“Perfect,”

    Amanda's POVThe maid led me into his study room. Walking in, I met a few men with him, and as soon as Alpha Edward saw me, he sent them away. After they left, I looked his way and saw that his playful and teasing mood had changed into something else. He now wore a more serious look, which told me something wasn’t right.“Is something wrong?” I asked and heard him sigh before he took a seat on the couch and asked me to take the one across from him, which I did without hesitation. A moment of silence hung in the air as I watched him pondering in thoughts, indicating all was not well, and it was getting me worried.“Is something wrong?” I asked again, and Alpha Edward sighed before responding. “Not really, it's just that the Stone Pack has declared war against us, and it starts tonight.” He announced, and my eyes widened.“A war?”“Yes, but don’t worry. It will be fought on neutral ground. They can't get into the pack.” He assured me, but that didn’t ease my worry.“Why the fight?” I as

    Amanda’s POVIt was 11 PM, and I still hadn't heard any news about the war. I glanced at Liam, who was fast asleep. Being a smart kid, Liam knew something was wrong, but I lied to him, saying it was nothing serious. He didn’t believe me, but he pretended to for my sake.Gulping nervously, I wished I had my wolf. At least I could have connected with Alpha Edward to see if everything was okay. But I couldn’t, and I regretted it deeply. Feeling anxious and scared, I left Liam’s room and took the stairs to the living room, where I met guards stationed at each end of the sitting room.“Where is Beta Matthew?” I asked a guard, who told me he was outside. Stepping outside, I found Matthew talking to a few guards. When he saw me, he dismissed them and walked over.“You’re unable to get some sleep?” he said, and I nodded.“How is the fight going? Have you heard anything from them?” I asked.Matthew nodded. “The fight is going pretty well in our favor, Amanda. Don’t worry yourself,” he assured

We were so mesmerized with each other’s gaze that neither of us wanted to look away, even when he stood to his feet and made his way to me. I still didn’t look away. Reaching where I sat, he squatted before “I feared not seeing you again,” he whispered, while a lump formed in my throat. “The thought of wanting to see you and Liam kept me fighting all night. I thought of you, imagining coming back to you and seeing the smile of relief when you see me. Amanda, you were the only person in my head as I fought,” he confessed, causing my heart to flutter as a hard gulp passed dow

    Amanda's POVFor the past hours, I have been in my room, consumed by my thoughts. I couldn't explain why I suddenly felt uncomfortable with Alpha Edward letting go of me. Why was he suddenly giving up on me so easily?A knock came on my door, and when I asked the person in, I realized it was Alpha Edward. Our gazes interlocked, and I swallowed nervously, trying to compose myself.“I’m about to leave for the battlefield. I just finished saying my goodbyes to Liam, so I thought of coming to say my goodbyes to you…” he paused while I swallowed in pain, holding myself back from tearing up.“You don’t have to worry about your safety or that of Liam. I have arranged everything, and…”“What about you?” I cut him off and saw his brow furrow. “What about your safety? Have you thought about it?” I asked, taking a step closer to him. “Must you fight this war? You are the Alpha and can decide to stay back! Why don’t you stay back?” I pleaded, but the look on Alpha Edward’s face showed that I was

    Amanda's POV With a cup of hot coffee in my hand, I sat on the couch, staring at the fireplace. It was past 2 a.m., and yet there was no news about the war. I was so worried and scared. I wished I wasn’t so helpless, wished I could do something, wished I could connect with Alpha Edward, at least to know what was happening to him. But I was helpless, and all I could do was sit and pray that he was safe, at least for Liam, who had no idea that Alpha Edward was his father but was still so worried. I heard footsteps, and when I lifted my gaze, it was Matthew. Quickly, I stood up and rushed to him. “Any news? How is he? Is he still communicating with you?” I asked with a pounding heart. “Yes, he is fine,” Matthew assured me, but I was unconvinced. “Tell me, how is the fight going?” Matthew sighed and placed his hands on my shoulders. “The fight is heroic, but we are still on the winning side.” He flashed me a weak smile, which still didn’t convince me. Swallowing hard, I went back to t

    Amanda's POV “But what, Matthew?” I asked, while getting closer to him. My heart was thumping in my chest. “Alpha Edward was shot by poisoned arrows, but he is fine.” He tried reassuring me, but my heart dropped at his words, and my body froze in place. “Poisoned arrows? What do you mean, is he fine?” I demanded, my voice trembling. Matthew sighed deeply, running a hand through his hair. “The poison was strong, but Edward is a fighter. The healers are working on him as we speak.” I swallowed hard, trying to process the information. The relief that he was alive battled with the fear of the unknown. “Where are they?” I asked in panic. “They are almost here…” I heard the sounds of cars driving into the mansion, and I quickly ran out of the sitting room. Getting outside, I noticed some warriors getting out of the car, but there was no Alpha Edward. “Where is he?” I asked in panic, but just then, I noticed the men went to one of the cars, and someone was brought out of it.

    “Are you nervous?” Liam, who was standing beside his father, asked as he noticed how anxious he seemed. Alpha Edward let out a soft chuckle and nodded. “A little nervous, yeah,” he admitted, and Liam gave his hand a gentle squeeze. “You shouldn’t be. Mommy is on her way.” Liam offered his father a comforting smile, and suddenly the music began playing, prompting everyone to stand. Looking ahead, Alpha Edward's breath hitched as he saw the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, dressed in a white wedding gown, being led toward him by her father. “Mine!” His wolf howled possessively and happily, causing tears to glisten in Alpha Edward's eyes. “You are so beautiful,” Alpha Edward whispered to Amanda through the mind link. She responded with a smile. “You look handsome and hot,” she whispered back, their gazes locked. They continued holding each other's gaze until Amanda was handed over to him by her father, her eyes filled with tears. It was a great joy to be marrying the m

    Alpha Edward was about to leave his room for lunch when he heard a knock on the door. Before he could ask who it was, the door swung open, and Levi, his cousin, stepped inside. “What do you want? Haven’t you done enough?” Alpha Edward yelled, his anger surging at the sight of Levi. The mere presence of the man who had caused him so much grief made his blood boil. “Brother,” Levi called softly, his voice calm and unwavering despite the anger in Alpha Edward’s eyes. He knew his cousin was enraged, but he also knew Edward would never truly harm him; if he had wanted to, he would have done so long ago. “My things are downstairs. The driver is waiting for me, but I wanted to see you and apologize before I leave,” Levi pleaded, taking a tentative step closer to Alpha Edward. “I don’t need your apology, Levi. Just leave and never show your face to me again!” Alpha Edward grunted, turning away, his shoulders tense with unresolved anger. Suddenly, the door to the room opened again, an

I’ll be with you for the whole week,” she said, and my smile widened. It was a relief to have her here with me—very thoughtful of Alpha Edward to send for her. “I heard the case has been withdrawn, but don’t worry, I’ll deal with Killian in my own way,” my mother said, and I frowned. What could she possibly do to him? “Mother, what do you intend to do?” I asked curiously. She was silent for a moment before she smiled and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. “Do you know about my abilities? Did Matthew tell you yet?” she asked, and I shook my head. I always knew there was something special about my mother—there was a fear in both Killian and Father’s eyes when she tried to attack Killian. “No, he hasn't told me,” I admitted, my curiosity piqued. “Maybe I should show you,” she sai

    “I can’t wait anymore,” Amanda moaned between kisses before pulling away. Her hands trembled with desperation as she reached for his shirt, her fingers curling around his neck as she straddled his lap, her body flush against his. Edward’s hands gripped her hips instinctively, his touch firm and commanding, sending a rush of liquid heat pooling between her thighs.Without breaking eye contact, Amanda began undoing the buttons of his shirt with shaky fingers. Edward’s gaze never left hers, darkened with lust, his breath heavy and irregular as she bared his chest to her hungry eyes. His skin was hot beneath her touch, the hard muscles of his torso rippling with every breath he took.Her lips parted as she traced the contours of his chest, her fingers skimming down to his waistband, where she could feel the hard length of him straining against his pants. The desire to feel him, to have him inside her, was overwhelming, and she couldn’t stop the small, needy moan that escaped her lips.Edw

    Amanda's POV It’s been two days since I came back from the hospital, and things have been just normal except for the constant urging of my wolf, wanting me to go have a talk with Alpha Edward. But I was stubborn; if anyone has to initiate a conversation, it has to be him, not me. A knock landed on my door, and when I asked the person in, I realized it was Liam holding a bouquet of flowers. “Momma, Dad said I should give you these,” Liam said, handing the bouquet of flowers to me, which I took with curiosity. “See you later.” Liam smiled widely at me before leaving. With a furrowed brow, I stared at the flowers before taking the note inside and reading it. “I saw these and thought of you.” A lump formed in my throat as I didn’t know how to react to the gesture. “Well, he is being romantic,” my wolf mumbled in my mind, but I rolled my eyes and inhaled the fascinating scent of the roses before dropping them on my bed. My thoughts went to Alpha Edward and why he had been avoiding

    Alpha Edward's POV The sound of the car driving into the garage announced Amanda's arrival. I could feel the tension in my chest as I waited, knowing she would walk through those doors any moment now. After everything that had happened, this was my chance to show her how much she meant to me, even if I couldn’t fully express it in words. I had instructed the maids to decorate the mansion and Amanda's room in a way that would convey my feelings—something subtle yet meaningful. The foyer was adorned with fresh white roses, Amanda’s favorite, arranged in elegant vases that lined the entrance. The scent of the roses filled the air, creating a calming atmosphere. Soft candlelight flickered from various corners, casting a warm glow across the room. The maids had outdone themselves, hanging delicate white drapes from the ceiling that flowed down like a cascade of silk, giving the space an ethereal feel. As I heard the front door open, I stiffened. Her footsteps were soft but deliberate as

She was lying lifeless on the floor, blood gushing out of her head.Matthew looked my way, concern etched on his face. “Are you okay, sis?” he asked, and all I could do was stare at the lifeless body of Elisa's mom. Then, suddenly, a calm voice resounded in my mind.“Hello, Amanda, I’m your wolf.” The voice, which sounded like me, spoke, and my eyes widened. “My… wolf…”I stammered in shock. “Yes, Amanda, I have been here all this while. I was just subdued, but now I’m released.
