Alpha Edward’s POV“What is happening?” I impatiently asked the healer who was healing Amanda.“Her heartbeat is slow, Alpha, and the fact that she doesn’t want to be healed is limiting my abilities. I wonder how she could do that,” the healer murmured.Feeling uneasy, I stared at the unconscious body of Amanda. The healer has been able to stop the bleeding, but she hasn’t been able to wake her up from the coma.Feeling uneasy, I began walking around the room while I ran a hand through my hair. I didn’t know why I was panicking; I was supposed to feel at rest, at least if she dies. It's an eye for an eye, but strangely, I didn’t want her dead.I never had the intention of allowing my men to touch her. I will never allow them to fuck her; all I wanted to do was scare her a bit and watch her beg for mercy, but I never knew it would end this way.Turning to where she lay, I noticed the healer reciting some incantations. I looked at the lifeless body of Amanda and wondered if she really w
Amanda's POV“You can't die. I don't want you to die!” Those pleading words echoed in my head as I slowly opened my eyes. I blinked my eyelashes as it took me a few seconds to recognize where I actually was. I recognized the woman seated before me as the healer who healed me in the cell, and then I noticed Alpha Edward's aunt standing beside the healer.“You are awake,” the healer sounded relieved, and out of curiosity, my eyes moved around the room and met those of Alpha Edward, who was leaning against the wall. I gulped in fear as I recalled what had happened. Unable to hold his gaze, I looked away and inspected my wounded chest, only to realize the injury was gone. My eyes went down to my wounded leg, and I realized it was also healed; even the bandages were gone, and all that was left was a tiny invisible mark.“You gave me a hard time healing you. How were you able to resist my abilities?” The healer asked, and I looked up at her. “Resist your healing abilities?” I asked, confus
Alpha Edward’s POVI groaned one last time as I released my seeds. The pleasure I felt was second to none, and I couldn’t believe I experienced it from a lady I hate. Looking her way, our eyes interlocked, but she swallowed nervously and looked away. I grunted and put back on my things. Then, I looked at her one more time before leaving the room.“Tell a maid to get her a new dress. After she is dressed, you can take her back to her cell,” I told a guard, who nodded as he set to do the task. But I called him back. “Don’t drag her; allow her to walk to her cell,” I instructed before walking away.I arrived at my chamber and collapsed on the couch. A tired sigh left my lips as I massaged my forehead. My head was buzzing with thoughts, making me go crazy. So many things didn’t seem right, and one of them was the uneasy feeling I had in my chest when I thought she was dying. As if that weren’t enough, I couldn’t explain why my heart fluttered with joy when I saw her open her eyes; it felt
Alpha Edward’s POVWith a raised brow, I stared at him as I went to a couch, sat, and looked his way.He gave me that annoying smile he knew I hated so much. He surely knew I would never want him around me, but then he was my cousin, the son of my aunt.“What are you doing here?” I asked, making sure I sounded displeased to see him. “Come on, aren’t you happy to see me?” He asked, and I groaned. He surely knew I never wanted to see him, and I was only putting up with his presence because of Aunt Victoria. “I will ask you again, what are you doing here uninvited and unannounced?” I asked, already losing my temper. He smiled and took a sip of his drink before holding my gaze. “It’s been four years, man. Why can’t you let go of it?” I groaned and clenched my fists while trying my best to hold myself from bursting out. “Why are you here, Levi?” I demanded. “Calm down, bro.” “I am not your bro. Stop calling me that,” I yelled at him, and he lifted both hands in a sign of surrender.
Alpha Edward's POVThe festival drew a crowd just as expected. Every member of the pack, even those from far away, came for the festival, and the field was so crowded. Making my way to where I would be seated with other deities, everyone who saw me bowed their heads, and I exchanged greetings with some childhood friends before getting to my seat. I exchanged greetings with my gammas and council of elders and then a few alphas who attended before taking my seat, which looked like a throne.After settling down, I declared the festival to begin, and drums began to play. It was a cultural festival, so only local drums and instruments were used. As the drums played, dancers began to dance around the fire while people cheered and watched. After the dancers entertained us, the next set of people to entertain us were the warriors. They showcased their skills, and soon the wrestling began. Some fought in their human form, while some in their wolf form. The winners won prizes, which were give
Amanda's POVI 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
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
“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
