Thank you for reading this story. I'm wrapping it up here, but I invite you to join me for my new ongoing work. Revenge on the Tattooed Alpha.
Amanda’s POV “I'm tired. Is the river still far from here?” Elisa grumbled wearily and rested against a tree. She looked exhausted, as if she had journeyed a thousand miles. “The river is just behind that mountain.” I pointed to a mountain a few steps away from us. She grumbled and lazily moved away from the tree. “I told you to come alone. Why must I join you?” She murmured, and I scoffed, rolling my eyes at her. We continued our journey while Elisa trailed behind, but I couldn’t leave her, so I had to walk as slowly as she did. We were almost at the river when our feet halted for what we saw. Standing before the river was a young man who should be in his Early twenties. His back was turned against us, but what we noticed was the knife in his hand. Before we could comprehend what was happening, he stabbed himself right in the chest, and we gasped. He made a low sound of pain and fell to the floor while blood gushed out of his stabbed chest. “Let's leave this place.” Elisa held my
Amanda’s POV I have been grounded for the past two weeks; neither did I go to school nor leave home. My stepmother has imprinted so many lies about me on my father's mind, and he didn’t bother to ask me or hear from me, but rather, he agreed with my stepmother's decision to keep me grounded. Sighing frustratedly, I sat on my bed, and my thoughts drifted to the stranger I had saved in the woods. It's been two weeks, and never a day has passed without me thinking about him. It goes as far as seeing him in my dreams. I have countless dreams of him, and when I wake up, I begin wondering why I think of him so much. Never a day goes by without me worrying about him. I was worried if he was okay, worried if he was being taken care of, and sometimes concerned if he had tried to attempt another suicide. I was so confused at how I agonized over a stranger who didn't even know I existed. Feeling thirsty, I left my room and went to the living room to get a water bottle from the fridge. On my
Amanda's POV Four years later… I woke up feeling ecstatic and happy. Today was my birthday, and I would be turning eighteen. I was super excited because not only would I become an adult, but I would also get my wolf and eventually find my mate. It's shocking that Elisa and I were born on the same day but by different mothers. My mother was my father's first wife, but she wasn't his mate. Two months after getting married to my mother, he met Elisa's mother, and she turned out to be his mate. That was how father ended up with two wives. According to my mother, she and Aunt Ana, my stepmother, took in the same day, and as fate would have it, they gave birth on the same day. However, I was four hours older than Elisa. While growing up, I saw how much my father loved Aunt Ana and Elisa. Mother and I were just his spare family, and we were okay with it until she fell so sick and was forced to stay with her sister. I wanted to go with my mother, but my father kicked against it and
Amanda's POV“You are never going to tell anyone the truth,” Aunt Ana warned, but I shook my head stubbornly. “No, Aunt, I won't keep quiet. I was the one who helped Alpha Edward, and I am also his mate. My wolf confirmed it to me,” I said amidst tears, and she chuckled.“What wolf? If you two were mates, why did Alpha Edward not recognize you? Why did he recognize Elisa instead?” She asked, and I swallowed painfully. Everything that was happening seemed like a dream I couldn't explain.“Now listen carefully, and listen well. You are never going to tell anyone that it was you who saved Alpha Edward, and neither will you mention being his mate. If you do, I won't hesitate to kill you and your mother. I believe you know my black magic could do that, so don't tempt me,” she threatened, and a tear dropped on my cheek.I knew she meant every word she had said, but how could I keep quiet and watch so many things go wrong? “Tomorrow, you will act like a happy sister for Elisa's wedding. If y
Amanda's POV“Elisa!” I screamed at the top of my voice and ran to her, falling to the floor as I carried her into my arms. “Elisa!” I yelled as I shook her body, but she didn't respond to me; instead, blood was gushing out of her head. My whole body shook with fear as the thought of her being dead enveloped me, but I shook my head, not wanting to believe it. Elisa can't be dead; it can't be.“Elisa, please wake up,” I pleaded with fear, but she was lifeless. Moving my gaze around, I saw a broken vase on the floor, which had the stain of Elisa's blood on it. “What happened?” I whispered in fear, wondering who must have done this and why.“Elisa,” I shook her again, but there was no response from her; she was already dead. I heard footsteps approaching, and I looked at the door in shock; it was Alpha Edward with Aunt Ana and Father.“What is going on here?” Alpha Edward yelled as he rushed towards us and snatched Elisa away from me. While hot sweat formed on my forehead, I watched him
Amanda's POVI was covered in a veil and was being escorted by two ladies whom I had no idea who they were. As I walked down the stairs, tears fell freely on my cheek, and I didn’t bother to wipe them off. Soon, I would be getting married to Alpha Edward, and heaven knows what would be my fate and why he would want to marry me. I knew his decision to get us married meant he had a plan, and I wondered what it was and what he would do to me. Slowly, I was accompanied by the women, and then we arrived at the sitting room, where I noticed a few guests were seated. The veil was transparent, allowing me to see smiles on the faces of the few guests. They hadn’t gotten the news of Elisa's death, and they thought she was the one being escorted. The two ladies led me to where Alpha Edward was seated and then helped me to the seat beside him. With panting breath, I looked his way and noticed he had a blank look on his face, which would make it hard for anyone to detect his mood. “Let’s begin,”
Amanda’s POV The room fell into total silence as the men left, leaving me alone with Alpha Edward. Looking into his eyes, I saw so much hate and anger directed towards me, and I couldn’t bear to look anymore; instead, I averted my gaze as tears dropped onto my cheek. “Why did you do it?” His voice was low, but the anger in his tone was palpable. With a hard gulp, I looked at him and shook my head. “Answer the damn question!” He yelled and threw the glass of wine to the floor, making me flinch in fear. “Why did you do it?” He yelled again, getting up from his seat. In the blink of an eye, he picked me up from the floor and slammed my back against the wall. “Why? Why? Why did you kill her?” He continued to yell, his eyes glowing with anger. “She was supposed to be my second chance mate, but you took her away. You made me lose another mate!” He spat with pain and anger. “Why did you kill her? Why would you do that?” He demanded angrily, and all I could do was sob loudly. I co
Alpha Edward's POVI dashed into my room and hit the wall with my fists. The wall made a crack, but I ignored it and kept hitting the wall, totally ignoring the pain I was feeling in my fists. As I punched the wall, it became stained with my blood, but I ignored it and continued punching the wall until I got exhausted and moved away from it. With trembling hands, I stared at the blood-stained wall and then glanced at my wounded, bleeding hands. My whole body was racked with pain, but it couldn’t be compared to the pain I felt in my heart. Yet again, I have lost another mate to the cold hand of death. Four years ago, I lost my first mate, Veronica, just three months after meeting her, and that day was the worst day of my life. I wanted to die and decided to commit suicide, but as fate would have it, I was saved by Elisa. The prophecy came that Elisa would be my second chance mate, and I would regain the voice of my wolf the moment her mark her. I have waited for this day to get marrie
“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
