Amanda's POV

I could hear the crowd's excitement when Alpha Edward was declared the winner, and I wasn’t even surprised by it. I already knew in my heart that he would win from the beginning of the match.

When our eyes met, I looked away, wondering why he was staring at me. When I was sure he wasn’t looking my way anymore, I returned my gaze and realized he had returned to his throne. I saw him talking to a man, and I had to look away and scan my eyes around the multitude of the crowd. My eyes met with a few people, and they stared at me with disgust—not only me, but they stared at all the prisoners with disgust.

Ignoring their hateful glare, I looked away, and my eyes met with a strange man. He was staring at me, but not with anger; instead, he had a smug look, which I found odd. With a raised brow, I stared back at him, and he lifted a finger and waved it at me. Frowning, I looked away, wondering why he was waving at me. I focused my attention on the other events, making sure I di

  • The Mate He Hates   Strange feelings

    Alpha Edward’s POVI watched her gulp at my words as we held each other’s gaze. I thought she would hesitate as usual, but surprisingly, she didn't; instead, she went for the zipper of her dress, zipped it down, and took it off, leaving her in her underwear. Without wasting another moment, she took off her underwear and stood naked before me.My eyes surveyed her naked form, and the thing between my thighs jerked in anticipation. Taking a deep breath, I sipped my drink and continued staring at her naked form while I recalled what had happened a moment ago. Seeing her with Levi got me so jealous that no matter how hard I tried to ignore it, I couldn’t. So many silly thoughts were going through my head; I imagined them together, and the thought brought an uncomfortable feeling to my chest—a sense of possessiveness and protectiveness.“Crawl on your knees to me,” I demanded, and I saw her go down on her knees with no hesitation, which was new. With raised brows, I watched her obediently

    Alpha Edward's POVHe freed himself from my grip and wiped off the bloodstain from his lips due to the cut my punch gave him. Burning with anger, I glared at him, wishing I could kill him at that moment, but I knew that would be a grave mistake on my part.“When will you accept it, cousin? When will you accept that Veronica never loved you? It was I she loved, and her death wasn’t my fault. I didn’t force her to go on that trip with me; she came on her own will. Why can’t you accept that fact?” He spat in my face, and I lost control. Grabbing him by the collar of his shirt, I slammed his back against the wall and glared at him, my fangs out and ready to strike.“How dare you?” I yelled angrily, and all he did was chuckle at my words. “And what will you do, dear cousin? Will you kill me?” He challenged with a sneer. I grunted with rage, anger boiling inside of me.“What is going on?” I heard Aunt Victoria's voice behind me, and I grunted.“Alpha Edward, Levi? What is going on?” She ask

  • The Mate He Hates   I killed her

    Amanda's POVWith teary eyes, I stared at the letter in my hand, which was sent to me by Aunt Lily, my mother’s younger sister, who my mother lived with before she died. All this while, I thought my stepmother killed my mother, or maybe she died due to the news of my condition, but now I have come to realize that I was wrong. My stepmother didn’t kill my mother, neither did her illness kill her, but Alpha Edward's men instead killed her. He sent his men to kill my mother. As tears fell freely on my cheek, I read through the letter sent to me by Aunt Lily, and through the letter, she told me all that had happened. She told me four men barged into her home, and before they cut off my mother’s head, they declared that Alpha Edward sent them to kill my mother as payback for what I did to Elisa, his mate. My aunt went further to explain how my mother was butchered like an animal, and as I read through the letter, I couldn’t contain my emotions. Pain and anger engulfed my entire being; the

  • The Mate He Hates   Saved you for the second time

    Amanda’s POVI was dragged to an unfamiliar spot still saturated inside the mansion. The place was like a yard, but the only difference was that they were underground cages. Gulping nervously, I looked around while the men dragged me to a particular cage. They let go of me and opened the cage. The moment they did, I peered through the bars and realized it was water-filled, causing my eyes to widen.“Will you willingly go in yourself, or do you want us to force you in?” the guard asked, and I swallowed in fear. I wasn’t a good swimmer, and I didn’t know how long I would survive.“Maybe we should put you in,” the guards grabbed me and forced me into the cage. As I entered, I realized my foot was touching the ground, and the water stopped at above my neck. The guards chained both my hands to a metal bar above my head, and then they closed the cage. I couldn’t see anything as everywhere became dark.“No, no,” I pleaded in panic at realizing what had befallen me.“You brought this upon you

  • The Mate He Hates   Jealous

    Alpha Edward's POVIt's been hours since I asked my men to lock her inside the water dungeon, and ever since then, I haven’t been at ease. Every seconds of the day, my thoughts would be filled with her, and I would groan. I couldn’t understand why I should be worried about a murderer, a woman who confessed to killing my mate. I should be thinking of other punishments to give her; she deserves nothing but a painful death for what she did. But instead, I was pacing around my study, worried about her.Grunting, I sat back in my seat and tiredly massaged my forehead. My head was pounding with a great ache, and regardless of what I did, it wasn’t helping. Sighing heavily, I picked up a file and started working on it to distract myself, but it wasn’t helping. Constantly, my mind would drift to her, and I would groan and ignore it.As I worked on the file, a silly thought came into my mind. I imagined her drowning and dying in the cage before the next morning, and I panicked. I could do anyt

    Alpha Edward's POVMy feet got stuck to the ground as I stared at her while my heart pounded in my chest.“What do you think you are doing?” I asked in fear and panic.She chuckled bitterly and turned to me. “What does it look like I'm doing?” Her eyes were filled with pain, and I swallowed nervously.“Stop it, Amanda, come down from there,” I urged in a frustrated tone.“And why should I do that?” She responded with a scoff. “Dying is the only way I will be at rest.”I shook my head, my palms sweating and my heart throbbing. I was so terrified that I didn’t know what to do.“I killed your precious mate, so why don’t I die? That is the best solution to all this, isn’t it?” She smiled bitterly, and I shook my head in fear. A sudden burst of anxiety and panic filled my entire being, and I didn’t know how to explain it.“Come down, Amanda,” I pleaded desperately. I couldn’t explain why I was begging her to get down; I couldn’t understand why I was so scared that my palms were sweating.“

    Amanda's POVIt's been three days since I was assigned as a domestic maid in the mansion. During these three days, I've been shown around the mansion and given my duties, but I've never seen Alpha Edward. Not that I care about it; it just feels odd not to see him.I share a room with two other domestic maids, Cara and Lina. Cara is human, while Lina is a werewolf. My roommates are kind and friendly to me, unlike other servants who mockingly call me Alpha Edward's sex slave. Not that I even care.As I chop the carrots, my thoughts drift to Alpha Edward. I couldn't understand why he would release me from the cell and assign me as a maid. Was he genuinely bothered that I would kill myself? Was my life that important to him?“What are you thinking?” The head maid's voice interrupts my thoughts.“Nothing,” I respond and return to chopping the carrots.Life as a maid is much better than being in that cold, dark cell. At least now I take a good bath, and I eat good meals. For the past three

    Alpha Edward's POVJealousy, anger, and uneasiness were what I felt the moment I perceived Matthew's smell on her. I couldn’t understand why she would smell so much like him, and the only explanation was that their bodies collided. He must have touched her or…“What did you do with my beta?” I demanded, my voice filled with jealousy. The thought of Matthew touching her was driving me insane.“Answer me!” I yelled. Her silence was making me go insane.“We… did… nothing…” she stammered in fear.I gripped her by the arms and yanked her towards me. Moving my nose to the left side of her neck, I perceived Matthew's scent and groaned.“Fuck!” I grunted and made her look me in the eyes. “What did you two do?” I demanded, jealousy and possessiveness boiling inside me.“We… did nothing… I only served him a cup of coffee a few moments ago,” she choked in fear, and I grunted. Serving him a cup of coffee wouldn’t make his smell be all over her unless he had touched her, not just any touch, but a

  • The Mate He Hates   THE END

    “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

    Amanda’s POV “I’m so happy that you’re here. We didn’t have time to talk,” I said happily to my mother, who smiled and patted my shoulder. “I’m here now. Tell me what you want to know, my dear. 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

  • The Mate He Hates   In his arms

    “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

  • The Mate He Hates   On heat

    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.

It's nice to finally talk to you,” she said, her voice so soothing.A tear fell down my cheek as I couldn’t believe it—I couldn’t believe I had my wolf.“Amanda, you’re crying?” Matthew said, noticing my tears.
