Amanda's POV

I followed Beta Matthew into his room, and when we entered, he locked the door. He stood by the window while I positioned myself beside the door.

“Have a seat,” he gestured, and I sat on one of the couches.

An awkward silence filled the air as I waited for him to speak, to explain why he lied to Alpha Edward. After several minutes of silence, realizing he wouldn't initiate the conversation, I decided to break it.

“Why did you lie?” I asked.

He raised a brow and glanced at me before sighing and moving away from the window. Sitting on the couch across from me, he locked gazes with me.

“You were the first to lie,” he remarked.

I gulped nervously and tucked my hair behind my ears.

“It's okay. I understand why you lied. Maybe it was to spite him, and I'm not angry at you. You did a good job,” he said with a smile. I furrowed my brow, confused by his words.

“Listen, I had to lie about us being mates. It's the only way I can set you free from Alpha Edward torture, and it's the o

    Alpha Edward’s POVKicking everything in my way, I grunted and ran a hand through my hair. What Matthew had told me kept replaying in my head, making me feel insane as I struggled to accept it. How could it be? How could she turn out to be his mate? A surge of jealousy, anger, and possessiveness washed over me. I couldn’t explain the emotions bubbling inside of me. I thought of Matthew and wondered how much he must have endured. He must have gone through a lot until now he decided to speak. And he also made mention of loving her? Of course, he was supposed to love her; she was his mate!A frustrated groan left my lips as I ran a hand through my already scattered hair. I felt panicked, restless, and bothered. If Amanda was indeed Matthew's mate, then I have done a horrible thing to my best friend. But come to think of it, it wasn’t my fault. I never knew they were mates, and he never mentioned it. And come to think of it, Amanda was my wife; we are married, and…“Shit!” I had totally

    Alpha Edward's POVOf course, I knew she wasn’t going to refuse me. Obediently, I watched her slowly take off her clothes, including her underwear, and stand naked before me. Gazing lustfully at her nude body, I gulped and sipped my drink. As instructed, she went over to the bed and lay on it like a motionless woman.The sight of it made me uncomfortable. I wanted her to be obedient but not motionless. So, I dropped the glass of wine in my hand and took a deep breath.“Amanda,” I called, “come over here.”At first, she was confused, but she obeyed and left the bed. She walked over to where I sat and stood before me, her eyes void of emotion.I gazed at her body, and unexpectedly, I pulled her to myself and made her sit on my lap while I positioned her legs on each side. Our gazes met, and I felt compelled to look into her eyes. There was something about those eyes of hers that kept me locked in.As we exchanged glances, my eyes went to her lips, and out of impulse, I slammed my lips a

    Amanda's POVI held his gaze, confused by what he had just said. “Excuse me?”“You heard me right, dear wife; your place is right here with me,” he stated firmly, with no hint of humor in his voice.“I'm not your wife,” I shook my head and tried to release myself from his grip, but he tightened his arm around my waist and scoffed. “Really? It seems you have forgotten our marriage vows; well, you might have forgotten, but I haven't. We are married, and you and Matthew will have to accept that,” he said, sounding serious, which made me frown and look at him with disbelief; he was acting strangely.“Now tell me, where is your ring?” he questioned as he took hold of my hand and checked my finger. “Where did you keep it?” He sounded displeased not to see it on my finger.“Where is it?” he asked again, and I furrowed my brow, staring at him with confusion and questioning gaze. I couldn’t believe he would ask about the ring after all this time.“Where did you keep it?” he demanded, and I fro

Once he or she is caught, then I will say goodbye to this life of torture and go to a faraway country, perhaps China, and begin my life anew.Left with no choice, I decided to join him in the bathroom. After all, what was the worst that could happen?Entering the bathroom, I met Alpha Edward, already naked, his back turned against me as he stood in the shower, a transparent glass separating us from each other. Despite not wanting to look, I found myself drooling over his well-structured body. He was perfect in everything: his height, his olive skin tone, his well-built muscles, and six-pack would make anyone drool. Just as mother would say, she called men as handsome as Alpha Edward the first seed of the goddess. She said they were the ones the goddess specially created with her hands, not that I believe those tales.“Don’

Come with me.” He turned and began walking away, while I trailed behind him.We entered his room, and I stood by the door, watching as he walked over to his dresser and picked up the hairdryer. “Come, have a seat,” he gestured, pointing at the chair for me. I was confused for a moment.“Come, have a seat,” he urged, and I obeyed. I walked over to the dresser and took a seat. As I sat, I couldn't help but glance at my reflection in the mirror, seeing a shadow of my former self – tired, unkempt, and worn out.I looked horrible; my once spotless skin looked unkempt, and my sea-blue eyes, once filled with life, now looked lifeless. My puffy cheeks had gone down, and my lips looked dry. Also, I had lost a huge amount of weight; my neck bone was visibly showing.I was still glancing at myself in the mirror when I

  • The Mate He Hates   In love with Amanda?

    Alpha Edward’s POVIt's been more than an hour since she left, but her scent lingers in the room. What's more surprising is that she smells so different. A few weeks ago, she had this rusty, musty scent, but suddenly, she smells so fascinating. I couldn’t really place the scent, but it was alluring and fascinating. To get more of her scent, I lay on the bed and sniff the remnants of her scent, and god, it's turning me on. I could vividly feel my whole body reacting to it. “Fuck!” I grunted and left the bed. Pacing around the room, I began to wonder what was actually wrong with me. Why was I acting differently towards Amanda, a lady who killed my mate? Why was I not hating her like I should? For goodness' sake, she killed my mate! Why was I forgetting that all of a sudden? “Something doesn't seem right,” I grumbled to myself, and just then, a knock came on my door, and through the scent, I realized it was Matthew. “Come in.” He opened the door and stepped in. Our glances interlocked

She seductively walked to me and sat on my lap while her hands were wrapped around my neck. I looked in Amanda's direction and could see confusion all over her face. She was probably confused about what was happening.“Take a seat on the couch,” I instructed, seeing her raise her brow. “Don't keep me waiting, Amanda, do as I ordered.” This time, she obeyed, leaving the door and taking a seat on the couch.“What is happening here?” she seemed confused.“Nothing much, just that I wish to entertain you, my dear lovely wife,” I smirked, and she frowned. “Excuse me…”“Keep quiet, Amanda, you are not allowed to speak,” she swallowed back her words.“Good.

    “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

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.

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
