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 POV‘Two wrongs don't make a right’ people would say. It was hard to stay angry at Amanda for the way she treated me like trash. It was my fault.When I got back to my wolf pack, a lot had happened in my absence. I went away for a few days and it was as though I was gone for months.Being an Alpha of a wolfpack came with a lot of responsibilities. One of them is ensuring that strangers don't invade our land. It was very important for the safety of the members of my wolfpack.A comprehensive report on every thing that happened while I was away was brought to me.There was something that needed urgent attention. Some rogues had come between my wolfpack and Alpha Thor's wolfpack. It was not a case I could handle alone, other Alphas would have to come together to track the rogues. When they were all notified about this, reports came back to me that the rogues disappeared when they approached Dolcie's father's wolfpack.There were a lot of tasks to be done aside from the issue of
Amanda's POVAll work without rest could lead to a breakdown. Just like in the movie after a breakup, one of the parties would immerse his or herself in their job or whatever they found useful enough to distract them from their hurts. Without denying it, that was exactly what I had done.The man I was truly in love with, the one I gave all the love I had in me to, betrayed me. On the other hand, the man that was originally my mate, the one who threw me away years ago, suddenly showed up and wanted to claim me. It was a dilemma that was taking a toll on me.Working endlessly was the only way I could distract myself from thinking about all of these things. It actually worked out, but then, my physical body was suffering from the stress.The day after Jackson left, I have been doing a great job comforting Sarah and Timothy because of his absence. For the first time I realized how strong the bond between them was.My whole body was weak, like I had done hard labor. I retired home quickly
