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.

    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

    Amanda’s POVWhile changing into a new uniform, I noticed the head maid's eyes on me. She stood at the door, staring at me with a questioning look. After I was done dressing, I turned to face her. “I had no idea he doesn't like sugar in his coffee,” I defended myself, but she didn’t say a word; instead, she just left.Inhaling deeply, I stared at the mirror and realized I had red marks on my face and arms from the hot coffee poured on me. I knew Alpha Edward overreacted; in fact, he would have just asked me to change it and get another one, but since he wanted to punish me, he decided to pour the hot coffee on me. I sighed in discomfort at the ache I was feeling in my body. The head maid had already given me an ointment I used to apply on my body, but I could still feel a little discomfort.Leaving the maids quarter, I returned to the mansion and arrived at the laundry room, where I was assigned to do the laundry. Two other maids were there, and I could feel their constant gazes on me

    Alpha Edward's POVMy entire being went numb at Matthew's declaration. My mind raced, my heart pounding in my chest. The words echoed in my ears, reverberating through my thoughts like a thunderclap. Amanda, my slave, the one who had killed my mate and I have brutally tortured, was Matthew's mate? That can't be true!“You are lying, Matthew; she is not your mate; she can't be your mate!” I spoke with disbelief. There was no way he would trick me into believing such lies.“Yes, she is my mate,” Matthew declared, his gaze not wavering from mine. “I knew she was my mate the very first day I saw her, but I couldn’t say it, I couldn’t accept it. How can I tell everyone that my mate is a murderer? How can I look you in the face and tell you that the lady who killed your mate and brought you so much pain was my mate? I was too ashamed and heartbroken to say it to anyone, so I decided to keep it to myself and reject our bond. I even wanted you to kill her, so that was why, at first, I was urg

    Amanda's POVI 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

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.

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.

    “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 had instructed the maids to decorate the mansion and Amanda's room in a way that would convey my feelings—something subtle yet meaningful.

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.
