Amanda's POV After taking my bath, I went back to Liam's room but found him sleeping while the nurse was still by his side, attending to him. After making sure he was okay, I decided to go back to my room and get some rest. On my way back, I met Levi in the hallway. “I've been looking everywhere for you. How have you been?” he asked. I sighed. “I'm just exhausted and scared,” I murmured, and suddenly Levi pulled me into his embrace. His action was surprising, but I let myself relax in his arms for a moment before pulling away. “Thank you.” I flashed him a weak smile. He went to my hair and tucked it behind my ears. “You look so tired. Get some sleep,” he urged, and I nodded before walking away. Getting back to my room, I lay on the bed, and all that had happened in the past 24 hours played back in my head. I realized that if not for Liam's sudden illness, Alpha Edward and I would have been separated by now, and the thought of that made me anxious. I thought of Alpha Edward a
Amanda's POV Seated at the dining table having breakfast, my eyes met Alpha Edward's. But I awkwardly looked away, swallowing hard as I focused on my food. The memories of yesterday kept replaying in my head. I couldn't explain the sudden outburst or why I reacted the way I did. Something inside me was triggered, and it was beyond my control. Despite it being an angry sex, I couldn't deny that I loved and enjoyed it. Just recalling it made me feel uncomfortable in my seat, and I hated it. I hated the strong pull this man had on me, despite how much I craved to hate him. “Are you okay?” Levi asked, perhaps sensing my uneasiness. “Yeah, yeah!” I cleared my throat, and my eyes met Alpha Edward's again. He had a blank look on his face, but I could tell he wasn't happy with my closeness to Levi. We noticed footsteps approaching the dining area, and when I looked in that direction, I was surprised to see a familiar aged lady. I couldn't remember her name, but I knew she was Levi's m
Alpha Edward’s POV After the guard helped me change into dry clothes and get into bed, anger filled my entire being. I felt so ashamed and worthless. The door opened, and Amanda walked into the room, already changed into dry clothes. Our eyes met, and we looked at each other for a moment before she walked over to the other side of the bed and laid down. An awkward silence filled the room as we both stared at the ceiling, unsure of what to say. Within the span of twenty-four hours, we had sex twice, and I didn’t know what to think about it. One thing was sure: Amanda still hated me, but she still cared for me. “About the sex…” she cleared her throat and looked my way. “You shouldn’t think much about it. We were just horny and so…” she trailed off. I frowned but didn’t say a word. “So let’s just say we were horny and decided to quench our desires,” she said while I remained silent. Of course, that was not what I felt, but I didn’t want to argue with her over it. Silence filled t
Amanda's POVThe moment Alpha Edward left the table, my mood suddenly changed, and I felt a pang of guilt. The look in his eyes before he left was that of a man whose world had been taken away from him, and I understood why he would feel that way.“Excuse me, I will be back,” I said, getting up from the seat. I left and took the stairs to his room, but when I got there, it was empty. Thinking he might be in the garden, I went over there but couldn’t find him. I went back into the mansion and asked a guard where he was, who told me he was in the gym room.Confused, I furrowed my brow, wondering why he was in the gym room. Out of concern, I made my way there, and upon stepping in, I saw Alpha Edward punching a dummy. I stood at the door and watched him hit it with so much anger. He was so engrossed in his anger that he didn’t notice me coming or standing by the door.I walked over to him and tried talking to him, but he ignored me and kept punching the dummy with his hands, which were n
Amanda's POVI stayed by his side, waiting for him to wake up, but he didn’t. His eyes remained closed as if he felt my presence and didn’t want to see me.“Amanda, I think you should go to bed. The healers will look after him,” Matthew suggested, but I shook my head and took hold of Alpha Edward’s hand, which was extremely cold. “I will stay with him,” I murmured, my eyes fixed on him as if he would disappear if I looked away.For hours, I remained by his side, watching him. I couldn’t believe that after all this man had done to me, here I was, staying by his side and wanting him to be okay.Hours later, I noticed his hand move. Slowly, he opened his eyes and furrowed his brow as he looked around. “Edward? You are awake? Can you hear me?” I asked with relief, and he just turned his head and looked in my direction. Our eyes met for a moment, and I gave him a comforting smile, but he just looked at me blankly and looked away.My heart ached, but I composed myself and spoke. “Are you ok
Alpha Edward's POVThe door opened, and Matthew stepped into the room, closing the door behind him. “We are about to leave. I'll drop them home and return tomorrow,” he announced. I swallowed hard and nodded.Matthew lowered his gaze. “You know you can still change your decision and make them stay. I know Amanda and Liam really want to stay,” Matthew urged. As much as I wanted them to stay—they were my life, the two people I loved most in the world—I just couldn’t. I couldn’t let them stay, especially Amanda.“You know the reason I'm sending them away, Matthew. Levi has a plan, and he is already working towards it,” I voiced out my fear while Matthew sighed and shook his head. “You don’t have to be scared and worried. Amanda loves you, and I’m very sure she will never fall for Levi’s plot. She is just being friendly to him,” Matthew tried assuring me, but I wouldn’t take chances. I would beat Levi at his game.“No, Matthew, they have to go,” I said in a tone of finality. Matthew unde
Amanda's POVA few minutes after the jet took off, I noticed the uncomfortable and tense look on Matthew. He was so panicked that I couldn’t stop myself from asking, “What is wrong, brother?” I asked, but he only glanced my way for a moment and then looked away.“Matthew, what is wrong?” I asked curiously.“Give me a moment, Amanda, I'm communicating with someone through the mind link,” he managed to say, and I frowned.“Is something wrong?” I asked because, obviously, I could notice something was wrong through the tense and worried look on his face. Matthew didn’t give me a response; instead, he closed his eyes, communicating with someone through the mind link. The worried look etched on his face made me worry even more.Questions buzzed in my head, and then my thoughts went to Alpha Edward. What if something had happened to him? This might be the reason Matthew seemed tense and worried.“Is something wrong with Edward?” I asked, and this time Matthew opened his eyes and released a s
Amanda's POV “Welcome, sister.” He took my hand and planted a kiss on it before holding my gaze with an intensity I found really uncomfortable, and I had to look away. “This is our brother, Alpha Killian,” Matthew introduced, his tone plain and emotionless, as if he was being forced to introduce us. “Brother, you are here.” Alpha Killian smiled at Matthew, a smile I could clearly see was fake. “Greetings, Killian,” Matthew greeted plainly. “It's Alpha Killian,” Alpha Killian retorted. Matthew scoffed. “I don’t remember Father naming you Alpha Killian,” Matthew spat back, causing Killian to growl and step closer to him. “If you want to leave here alive, I would advise you to watch your tongue, Matthew…” “It’s Beta Matthew,” Matthew retorted. “Stop it, you two,” Father ordered, and they both went mute while throwing daggering glares at each other. “Your sister, who has been missing for the past twenty-three years, is back home, and all you two can do is fight each other! Unbeli
“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
