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
Amanda's POVThe universe always finds a way to give everyone a second chance. As a matter of fact, each day a person is privileged to wake up in the morning, it is another chance at life.I do not know if my own every day is a second chance for me, or the progression of my never ending problems. I wake up each morning, hoping for the day to be drama free, but it always finds its way to me somehow. The moment I was born scentless, it was certain that this was how my life would go. Hatred and humiliation wherever I go. Except in the real human world. How long can I stay there? I don't belong there. I was not accepted in the wolves world where I belong either. No place for me anywhere in this world.We were now used to our morning routine. Reya and the kids had gone their way, I had gone to my store too.I was setting in to begin the task of the day when a beed from my phone called my attention.I dropped the scissors I had with and picked my phone check, it was a text message from Jack
Jackson's POVIt has never been heard that any prisoner escaped in my wolfpack. This was new and I never expected it to happen. The guards must have been careless, otherwise, this wouldn't have happened.I was furious at the last bone on my body.“What did I tell you this morning?”“I'm sorry, Alpha. I will make sure we find him” the chief guard begged.“You have half an hour to bring him before me, or you give up your own life in his place” I warned.I left my office immediately and drove back home. All the important people in my life were there, I wanted to make sure they were safe and alright.“He must be around somewhere in the pack. He can't be far away. Send all the guards around the pack, I don't care if you have to send all thousands of them out, you must bring Rick before me, dead or alive” I said to the chief guard finally before driving off.I picked my phone to call Amanda. “Hi, are you okay?” I asked anxiously.“Yes, honey. We are fine. I just found out that Rick got out
Amanda's POVReya quickly became the sister and friend I never have. She was a confidant and a true friend. I feel so comfortable around her, unlike in the past when I found it difficult to make friends with others. Once I informed her about the new development and that I needed her assistant, she quickly decided to move to our own wolfpack to live so she can work with me. She was not married yet, that was what made it easy for her to decide.“What about the business you wanted to start, Reya?” I said to her on the phone.“It's never too late to do anything. Look, I can sell the store and add the money to the funds I had, and then invest it in some other things, I could even make so much profit without running an actual business” she explained.“Is that so? You have thought about this thoroughly, okay?”“You don't have to worry about anything. I have relatives that are investment experts, they will guide me through and you will how much money I can make”“Ok. If you say so. You don't
Jackson's POVPeople don't take things seriously until you have to use forceful means. After my meeting with the elders, I had given them a day to expel Rick, and take the position of Alpha from both him and Dolcie's father. But the day was running out and I have not heard anything from them. My patients had limits. The only reason why I was lenient with them was because I have a wife and kids now. Whatever I do, I must put their safety into consideration too. I don't want them to be affected in the future. But that doesn't mean I would continue to tolerate those who continuously tried to hurt Amanda, my woman.“By tomorrow morning, if there is no positive result from those elders, take those rats to the centre of the pack and execute them before everyone, let them die a shameful death,” I said to the chief guard.“We will do as you wish, Alpha. Rick looked like he is hatching an escape plan, that is why we have to do something about them soon”“And you are telling me? What is your jo
Amanda's POVSuccess is not just about big achievements, it is also the accomplishment of the things that seem insignificant, yet they make a notable impact in our lives. All of these things were not grand events, but when I looked at how much we have done in a short time, I was moved. Knowing that I had a support system was even a bigger joy for me. We all seek to be independent, but in the end, the truth is we all need each other to grow. And even when we have attained this growth, we still need each somehow. For instance, I need the baker's bread for breakfast, the baker needs the service of his staff for production, likewise, someone else needs my dresses. We all need each other.After lunch we rested for an hour before we continued with other things. As agreed before Jackson went for a meeting, we decided to go to the location together. It was as if I was dreaming.“Are you that excited?” Jackson asked and chuckled.“Uh huh! This means a lot to me, for real. Even when I was a fam
Amanda's POVSo much could happen in a day and it would even beat things you spent years accomplishing. I was able to get my things from Rick's wolfpack, I met Reya again, I got a massive order, and Jackson helped with a location to build my store and even a temporary place to use for my client's dresses. All of this made my day a perfect one.After laying down to sleep as Jackson suggested, I couldn't sleep for a while, my mind kept wandering around, until I adjusted my body to Jackson's body and laid on his chest. He chuckled when he saw that.“You should have mentioned that you need me to fall asleep”“You don't have to make fun of me”“Ok. Sleep” he reached to my forehead with a kiss”As I laid on his chest and the rhythm of our heartbeat was almost in sync, I fell asleep soon. I guess he did too.I was overwhelmed with excitement and anticipation. I felt like a child going to a new school on the first day. What would it look like? I know that as Luna, everyone would want to patro
Amanda's POVFor every thousand shifts in one's life, is one significant change. A change to a new direction, a change to new life, a step into a new experience. I have long adjusted to these shifts in my life. I have realized that everytime something major happens in my life, there will be a change too. Everything changes for good. Maybe because I had chosen to see only the food side of every situation, no matter the huddles that come along with it.I went from being a miserable teenage girl to finding a skill that turned to a career and then to falling in love with who I thought was my savior and friend. When I thought I had reached my home of peaceful peace, I realized I was wrong, the universe still had so much in store for me. Rick turned out to be my grave and then I had to move on to the next phase of my life again. Jackson, the father of my pups, the man who was never in the picture again, I didn't even have him in my memory again until he showed up in my fashion store in the
Jackson's POVSatisfaction comes from little things that we do for ourselves or for the people around us. As long as it is from the heart. It is really not so difficult to attain satisfaction, one day at a time. These days, I found peace in doing everything I did.I just knew I wasn't happy with the fact that Amanda was bored at home. I felt like I was responsible for that. I brought her here, meanwhile she was used to being busy with her work. I was overwhelmed and carried away with the joy of their presence without considering how she might be feeling when I'm busy and she was left alone at home. I had no idea she would love to begin her fashion business again.But I was glad I asked her and when she mentioned it, I was able to help her with everything. I was going to support her with everything within my power and I was beginning to set goals on her behalf. She was a renowned fashion designer in the real human world, now that she was in the wolf pack, It had now become my goal to m
Amanda's POV.What was giving me so much joy in the past days was the fact that I now have my family completely. Sitting on the dining table together, taking a walk together and all other things. Everyday became brighter than the previous day. It was as if we were living a fairytale story.After Jackson was done making lunch, we sat at the dining room waiting for him while he dished the meal.Timothy and Sarah had little time to spend with us, after having lunch, they were to take a thirty minute nap before their training master would come for them.Immediately we got here, Jackson hired a personal trainer for them to help them control their power and how to make use of their claws too.“Do you enjoy the meal?”“Are you asking again? It's so nice”“Really?”“Of course. You don't believe in yourself again?”“I do. I just wanted to know Her Majesty thinks”I laughed as I joined him to clear the table.“Can I prepare something for you too?”“Are you trying to pay me back”“A yes or no wo
Being idle could make one feel sick, no matter your past success and accomplishment, when you're idle, you may even begin to feel empty, like you are wasting away. Before the feeling of unfulfillment overwhelms me, I decided to force myself to sleep until my kids or Jackson return.Everywhere was dead quiet, the guards were at the door too.I ended up sleeping off.It was a slow day and it looked like it would never end.I heard a familiar voice responding to greetings and I was slowly awakened. I sat up when I realized Jackson was back home. I could hear his footsteps approaching, so I stood up to meet him halfway.“You are back!” I said with excitement as he opened the door.“Yes ma'am! How are you?” He asked me before wrapping me up with his big arms.“I'm alright” I said, sounding unsure.When we both sat down on the couch across the bed, he was looking at me like he was a doctor examining his patient.“What is that?” I asked him.“Nothing. I just think that I shouldn't have leave
