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
Amanda's POV“Please don’t leave me, mother!” I cried out to my mother, who had her back turned against me. Ignoring my pleas, she continued walking away. I tried to go after her but realized my feet were stuck to the ground. “Mother!” I yelled bitterly, but she paid no heed to my cries and continued walking until she disappeared. “Please, mother, don’t leave me here!” I cried out and fell to the ground.Opening my eyes, I realized it was another of the usual dreams that I had been having for the past three days. The dream kept repeating itself, and I was already getting used to it. With a sigh, I sat on my bed, looked at the wall clock, and realized it was 2 a.m. Clara and Lina were still fast asleep, unaware I had woken up.I felt something on my cheek, and when I touched my face, I realized there were tears. While crying in my dreams, I also ended up crying in reality. Inhaling deeply, I decided to leave the room and get some fresh air, at least to clear my head. Making sure not t
Amanda’s POV“Take this to the first room on the second floor,” the head maid instructed as she handed a tray of breakfast to me. Collecting the tray from her, I made my way to the room. Upon reaching it, I knocked on the door, and a male voice ordered me in. I knew the voice wasn’t that of Alpha Edward or Beta Matthew, so I wondered who it was, as they were the only males in the mansion apart from the guards. Curious to see who was in the room, I opened the door, entered, and when I closed the door and turned, I was dumbfounded to see him seated on the couch, a cigar in one hand and a glass of whiskey in the other.Instantly, I felt uneasy, and to make matters worse, he had a victorious grin on his face, like a predator who had gotten hold of his prey. “Will you just stand there? Come forward,” he urged, and with trembling steps, I approached him. When I reached the table, I placed the tray of food and wished I could leave, but I knew he would have to be the one to ask me to go. He
Alpha Edward’s POVJealousy was the first thing I felt when I walked on them in each other’s arms. As if caught in the act, Amanda pulled from Matthew's arms and got up. Unable to hold my gaze, she buried her eyes on the floor while I gritted my teeth and glared at her.“You are here? Do you need me to do anything for you?" Matthew asked, acting nonchalantly as if me walking in on them in each other’s arms was nothing. Clenching my jaw, I looked his way and noticed he was even shirtless and had just a short on. The sight of that flared me up, but I had to control myself.“Go to my chambers and be on your knees.” I directed those words to Amanda, who didn’t hesitate and dashed out of the room.Returning my gaze to Matthew, I glared at him, but he had a blank and calm look.“Is not what you think.” Matthew tried defending his actions, but that angered me even more. “What do you take me for? A fool, do I look dumb and blind to you, huh?” I spat with anger.“Calm down…”“Don’t tell me to
Amanda's POVIt was already past 1 am, and I was unable to sleep. The painful events of the day flooded my head, tormenting me from drifting to sleep. Realizing that I wouldn’t be able to get any sleep even if I tried, I decided to seek solace and comfort in the garden, knowing it wouldn't be a big deal to spend the night there. Leaving the servant quarters, I arrived at the garden and was surprised to see Beta Matthew standing there, staring at a flower. As if he felt my presence, he turned, and our gazes interlocked.“I had no idea you would be here; I will take my leave,” I said, turning to leave.“Wait,” he stopped me, compelling me to turn around. “You don’t have to leave. I wanted to speak with you,” he said, piquing my curiosity.“You wish to speak to me? About what?” I asked, curious.“Come closer,” he urged.Obeying his words, I got closer and stood before him. Holding his gaze, I waited for him to speak, but he didn’t. Instead, he just kept staring at me, making me feel awkwa
Alpha Edward’s POVPain was what I felt hearing those hurtful words from her. I wanted to scream, yell, or do something to her, but I found myself numb, unable to believe what I had just heard. I wanted to urge her to tell me that all she was saying was a lie, maybe she just wanted me to get angry, but the look on her face showed that she wasn’t joking about it. Unable to withstand her presence, I sent her away, and she dashed out of my room.Slowly, I slumped on my bed while her words buzzed in my head. I could vividly hear her words in my head, the way she said it when she declared her love for him, the way she talked about how he treated her. Everything was sending me insane. With a grunt, I ran a hand through my hair. I couldn’t explain why I was feeling so restless because of her confession. I mean, this was a lady I should hate. I was supposed to torment her and inflict pain on her, but I don’t get why I have softened this much. Why was her confession having this effect on me? W
“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
“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
Amanda’s POVMy eyes widened at the scene before me. I couldn’t believe Matthew had just murdered Elisa's mother right in front of me. 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. 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. With tear-filled eyes, I looked up at Matthew, not knowing how to gather my words. “My… wolf. My wolf is released,” I announced to Matthew, who smiled and hugged me.“Ye
Alpha Edward's POV“What are you even saying, Edward?” Matthew frowned, clearly not agreeing with my idea.“You heard the doctor; she has just a few minutes left. We have to do something,” I murmured, fear and concern gripping me.“And you think giving up your life is the best solution? You think I’ll just stand by and watch you do that?” he spat with pain and anger. “Amanda is my sister, but you are my friend, my brother, and my Alpha, and I will not let you do this, never!” Matthew said in a tone of finality, his voice breaking with emotion.A tear dropped down my cheek at the complication of the situation. Amanda’s life was in danger, and we had little time to save her.“We have to return to the mansion,” Matthew said, causing me to raise a brow at him. “A guard just informed me through telepathy that the witch, Elisa’s mom, is screaming at the top of her voice that she can save Amanda,” Matthew revealed, causing my eyes to widen.“Alpha, we have to go back. Let’s go see her,” Matt
Alpha Edward’s POVA sudden pain struck my chest, causing me to exclaim, which caught Aunt’s attention. “Are you okay?” she asked worriedly as she moved closer to me, but I couldn’t respond. Instead, I closed my eyes as the pain continued to linger. “Should we send for a healer?” Aunt asked again, but I still didn’t respond. With my eyes closed, I thought of Amanda, and an uncomfortable, strange feeling hit me. “Edward, are you okay?” Aunt kept asking, but I didn’t respond until I heard heavy footsteps approaching the sitting room. When I opened my eyes, I saw some guards, looking worried. “Alpha, an accident has happened,” a guard announced, and my eyes widened. “Amanda!” My breath hitched in my chest. “The car got into an accident, Alpha. It’s serious, but they’ve been rushed to the hospital,” the guard added, and fear gripped me even more. “No, no, take me to the hospital,” I ordered, fear and panic consuming my entire being. The guards wheeled me out of the sitting room and
