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
Amanda's POVNo secret lasts forever, it will eventually come out. Even it takes decades to be revealed. Out of all the many lessons I learnt in real human society, I also learnt that just because the truth is not yet seen does not mean it doesn't exist.Even though I was a bit surprised that Jackson had known all along that Sarah and Timothy are his pups, I still think he was right when he said it was impossible for him to not recognize his pups when he saw them.Now that I am aware that he knows who they are to him, I was worried sick after he left with them. What if he takes them away from me and I never get to see them again? He looked like he had good intentions, but so many years had passed. If you have not seen a person for years, it is risky to just trust them, you don't know what new demon could be at working with them now.I could not think straight all through the evening, that could be the last time I would see my kids. How do I survive without them?While I was pacing aro
Amanda's POVNo day is complete without its own drama. Just when I thought I was done for the day, thinking I've had enough for a day, Jackson's grip stopped me in track.I forced my arm loose from his grip but he held me again.Maybe my words were not fierce enough to get him off my back, maybe he was just being stubborn. After all the things I said to him, he still refused to go away. Instead, he continued to act like a teenage boy.Jackson's piercing eyes were fixed on mine like he had seen an edible prey to feast on. I was beginning to tense up as my mind began to race, and my heart longing for him.“Do you truly not feel anything for me?” He said with a soft gentle voice as he curled his lips seductively. He made it so glaring that he was seducing me. He took my hand and caressed his abs with it and took it up to his chest area too.I felt a tickling sensation throughout my body. He was so hot and attractive, even an inch of his upper body was built perfectly beneath his neatly i
Jackson's POVThey say when you love someone, whatever they do is never wrong in your eyes. Even when they hurt you, you just sit and endure it. But was it supposed to be like that? I was not sure.I do not know if I was at the level where I could say that I loved Amanda, or I was just drawn to her because she was my mate. But, every time she said mean words to me, it was hard to stay mad at her. Whenever I think about her being with someone else too, I feel really bad and my heart aches.I was an alpha, as matter of fact, I was the Alpha of the biggest wolfpack. Nobody dares to talk to me in a disrespectful way or look me in the eyes twice. But Amanda was different, it was certainly different. It may not be because I have lost the respect she has for me, it may be because we were mates and there was affection in the picture.Sadly, that night, I realized that I probably do not mean anything to her. Of course it was her choice and decision to want a person in her life, and even if she
