Amanda's POVJudy's request felt like a challenge to me, and I was ready to win. I would prove to her and everyone that she was wrong and that my designs are not crap. It is not that I needed her approval, but I knew the implications of such comments on a brand.Couple with the fact that Jackson would be coming to the event.I was a bit worried and confused though. If Rick finds out, he would probably feel some way about it.And if the kids find out too, they might insist that they want to see their father. I was thrown into a dilemma.I ordered materials immediately and the latest designing equipment.It took hours and even two days to come up with an idea, I wanted to make an outstanding style. She was one woman with a beautiful body, she had the body of a model. If she was in the real world, fashion designers would have scouted her long ago, she would probably be a supermodel by now. At least it was better than how she was wasting away here.I sketched the style ideas I had , they
Jackson's POVNo matter where one goes, either in the real human world or here in the wolves world, it was always difficult to deal with others. Everyone was complicated in one way or the other. If I had refused to attend the hunting party, I would be offending Alpha Thor, it was not as if I was afraid of him, he was among the least of the people who could bother me. But, it was unnecessary to make enemies with someone over what could have been avoided.However, finding out that Amanda lives with Rick in the same pack where I had been invited to, was such a perfect avenue for me to get close to her and bring her back with me hopefully.It was impossible for me to continue to reject Alpha Thor's invitation after getting hold of the information.The day was finally here, I didn't want to make too much of my presence, I had requested just one guard. I was flushed with joy and anticipation. It was like when a man is going to see his bride for the first time. But a pang of disappointment a
Amanda's POVThis was life. You will continue to move from one pain to another. Who would have thought that my pain this time around would be from those who have done nothing but dote on me since the day we met?All men are the same.I have always heard people saying something like that when I was in the real human world. I thought about it as just a saying. I never knew that it was true.There I was, my body laying partially against the door, and my man having a hot session on top of another woman. I was in daze for what seemed like an infinite seconds, my jaw dropped, disappointment hovering around me and pain washed over me too.Rick, who left me standing outside to come and service his mate, stood up, coming towards me in shock. He never expected me to come to that room. I stood up too and adjusted myself.“It would be good if you don't come closer” I warned with a stern voice.Thinking back to when he left me outside, I was not wrong when I felt like he did not want to come with
Rick's POVIt never crossed my mind that Amanda could come to the area where Judy and I were. I also didn't know that Judy would tie me down for long. Amanda's appearance today would disrupt my plans greatly.The moment I saw her, I saw the hatred etched on her face, she has never looked at me that way. It would be hard to get her to forgive or trust me again.Just like her situation with Jackson, Judy's mate bond with me has not been severed completely, it was my bargaining chip to return to the wolf pack, I was going to leverage on that. I couldn't possibly say it to Amanda directly like that, I was going to explain it to her in a twist, but she would not listen to me at all, she was very mad at me, she had the right to be though. But what bothered me the most was the fact that she had insisted on breaking up with me, it was sudden and unbelievable.If Amanda truly walked away, I would not be able to execute all the plans I had made. Watching the way she was looking at me with so mu
Amanda's POVIf you don't know a person too well, you will be surprised every time they do something. This was Rick, I could almost predict what he would do next, he would get on his knees, act pitiful and make his false promises again. I was a fool in the past, but not anymore, I won't fall for it again.Of course I had no friends, there was nowhere else I could go, other than coming to pick my kids up from Reya’s house. Rick knew it too, so I also knew he would come to look for me at the place.It was not a surprise to me when I saw him. And I could see that he had stressed a lot, and looked like an abandoned mess, for now that would be the best way to describe how exhausted he was. It was satisfying to see him like that, but that was not enough to pay for his sin. It was truly a sin against my love for him. He may never be forgiven.He just stood there looking at me, like he was confused about what he was feeling at that moment, maybe he was disappointed, maybe he was mad that I ra
Amanda's POVNo matter how a day turned out to be, there would be one thing you would be grateful for.All of the emotional rollercoaster I had felt a while ago was slowly flushing away just because of this scene. Parents protect their children until they are of age and can look after themselves. I have been on that journey as a mother since the day my pups were born into this world. It was the vow I made to protect them until my last breath.But today, in the face of an enemy, in a strange land, my little pups defended me and protected me from the enemy. This was an overwhelming moment for me.“You lowly Omega….” He lamented through gritted teeth.Anthony was shamelessly crushed to the ground by two little pups. He was met with disappointment, he never expected them to take such action. His jaw dropped.Of course, no child will endure watching his mother suffer, so it was reasonable.As if the attack earlier was not enough for Anthony, he stood up and dusted his body. This time, he f
Amanda's POVNothing was more satisfying that the disappointment etched on Rick and Anthony's face. I knew Rick would have never thought that he would show up, I could see him gritting his teeth, and I could see how intimidated Anthony was.Jackson's wolfpack was the biggest pack among all the other wolfpacks, that automatically made his position as the Alpha to be superior to the other Alphas. Anyone one with inferiority complex would feel intimidated when Jackson is present. Moreover, he was hard to get along with, always alof, never interacting with people unnecessarily.I have never seen Rick the was look right now, helpless and empty, he was suddenly unattractive to me and I laughed, questioning how I fell in love with him the first place.I moved closer to Jackson, even though we were not in talking terms, I needed him to still conceal the identity of our pups.“What nonsense are you talking about, you can't tell everyone. It's risky” I whispered.“Let's give them a taste of the
Amanda's POVWhen something that has an effect on a person's emotion happens, a day could feel like months, and months could feel like a few days.I was now a calm woman even more than before. Enjoying simple things and making the most use of every day as I carried myself about calmly and elegantly.A couple of days had gone by and felt like it was a month already. I was not emotionally empty, but I was not full either, I was just floating around, but maintaining strength for the sake of Timothy and Sarah. I had to be strong for them, they must not see me breaking down.I have been spending time in the store. Sometimes, Reya would join me after picking the kids from school. Each passing hour of the day would usually be slow like it was out to provoke me.After the pathetic drama on that day of Judy's Hunting party, because of the way Anthony misbehaved with my kids and I, Jackson had not stopped coming to the store. He also feared that since Rick and I were not in talking terms, some
