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
Amanda's POVNo matter how tired a person is, just one night of sleep is enough to stretch the body and help them regain strength. My alarm jolted me back to the land of the living and I opened my eyes, it was daybreak already. I feel light and strong at the same time. All the aching joints had relaxed and I was now feeling okay.I got out of bed and headed out to the living room where a loud chatter was coming from. On getting outside, Sarah and Timothy were ready for school, Reya had prepared them. I felt bad for not waking up in time to assist her, even breakfast was ready too.I stood by the food quietly watching them, it was a refreshing sight. Reya turned around and realized I was standing there, she noticed the guilt in my expression immediately and she giggled.“It's okay, Amanda. You had a stressful day yesterday, I understand that you must rest. Now sit and let's have breakfast” there was so much grace in her voice, I could not understand what good thing I had done in the pa
Amanda's POVSome things happen at the right time, just like the way Jackson had come here now at the wrong time. I was flustered, a little guilt pricked my mind like I had stolen something.Jackson's eyes and mine met, he revealed a smirk and walked away.I was worried he had gotten the wrong idea. I wondered why I was worried about that. I detached myself quickly to go after him but Rick held me back.“I'm here honey, you don't need him, we don't need him in our lives. You don't have to go after him” I was even more pissed at him but I didn't show it. I just quietly asked him to leave.“I won't stop apologizing to you. And I will wait until you are ready to come back. You are a sweet woman, and I know you will forgive me” he left with a mix of dissatisfaction and relief, maybe because of his last words.But he was wrong. Just because a person keep displaying kindness does not mean they will continue to allow others to hurt them. Even if I ended up forgiving him, I do not see myself
