Amanda's POVNo matter how loud the storm is, when the right time for peace arrives, it will surely calm down. Some minutes ago, I was a raging storm, and I became a needy child who wanted the attention of his father. Like a swift, Jackson appeared and calmed down my storm, and then he became the father who was attending to me.Even if I won't be loved tomorrow, at least, I have the gift of this moment. Someone was there to calm my storm. The man from before. A walking peace. Beauty can't be more than this. Maybe for other people, It won't be enough, but for me, this was what I would call beautiful beauty, very much enough to quench my worries.At a point, I would even feel like he was being gentle deliberately so thF he could disappear and make suffer for keeping him hanging for too long.Jackson carried me away in his arms to where the care was parked. It was about a thirty minute walk from the hideout. I expected him to drop me soon, but he carried me until we got to the car. He pl
Amanda's POVAfter a long day, I would usually take a cold shower and apply joint balm on my body before retiring to rest in bed. It was always helpful, as long as I did it well. But it does not look like I would be using that. After all the stress of fighting with the rogues at the hideout, and all the emotional breakdown while I was looking for Sarah and Timothy, I was mentally, physically and emotionally drained. I needed rest or that cold shower. Just anything that could help me ease off.But the moment Jackson kissed me, I just knew in my heart that I will not have to depend on any of that to get better. There was something about the way he kissed me everytime that relaxed my body. I was never able to understand what it was. I remember telling him that he was a good kisser one of the days he kissed me at Reya's house, but that was just sarcasm. I have now realized that it was more than being a good kisser. It could be because we were mates. Maybe it was because we originally belo
Rick's POVI have always believed that it is okay to fail, even if it happens repeatedly. But what is not okay, is giving up. Failing does not make one a failure, giving up does. Although, I knew that there are times that one just needs to quit if the adventure begins to threaten one’s life and safety. But for me, it was not the right time to quit yet. I did not come this far to give up.Truly, it upsets me and pisses me off to watch Jackson getting out of the trap I had set for him, and Amanda escaping from where I had ordered my men to take her. But, I believed there would always be another packed with another opportunity for me to strike them again. And I wouldn't even miss it for anything. I was already in a desperate situation, I won't even think about going backward for any reason. This has always been my dream. To dethrone Alpha Thor and become the Alpha and I have achieved one of it. I still needed Amanda to complete the other plans, she had a role to play too.It was reported
Amanda's POVAn ordinary nap could turn into a deep slumber sometimes. You won't even realize it before you drift into a deep soul-suiting sleep. And wouldn't take that long sleep after the rigorous exercise Jackson and I had before I slept off. There is a difference between love making and having sex. What we had earlier was magical and I will continue to remember it for the rest of my existence.The cool breeze poured into the room through the window atop the huge bed, everytime it settled on my bare skin, I felt myself waking up slowly. It was like being in the dream land and hoping to catch up with what's happening in the land of the living at the same time. Slowly, my sleepy eyes were awakened and I was the Jackson towered next to me sleeping soundly. It was the first time I saw him looking so calm, he looked a lot different from when he was awake and in his Alpha skin. That sight was worth paying to watch.His contoured face was neatly assembled like the work of art and his jawl
I woke up to Jackson's serious expression, a mixture of concern and determination written on his face, knowing who he was it had to be a serious matter for it to weigh that heavily on him through the night.Since we reconciled and decided to give each other a chance it had been one drama or the other as such it was no surprise when he stated that he had so much to say about my family.I couldn't help but sigh inwardly, wondering why our lives always seemed to be entangled in drama, even after reuniting and finding solace in each other's arms, sometimes I cannot help but feel as though our love is inadequate to survive the storm we are always faced with.Jackson revealed that he was shocked with his latest discovery about who I am and what my family had represented in the history of the wolves. He reminded me that I was scentless when we had initially met, a major obstacle in their relationship in the early stage belonged to a historical and most feared species of the wolves, the shado
I looked around in joy. It ran my fingers across the furniture and I couldn't help but smile. I miss this place. So much that I can't even explain how much I do."Home sweet home?" Jackson's voice brought me back to reality and me realizing he's still here."Yes. I miss this place." I said happily."I can see it," he said.I took a seat and stared into the distance. I was quiet while I did. I started reminiscing on my life here and how far I've come. It feels like ages ago but it isn't. Not really. This place looks so much different now. But maybe it's the same but I'm different now.I felt Jackson sit next to me, so I made room for him to be comfortable. We sat there in silence for a while before I heard him breathe out."This place holds so many memories, yes?" He asked and I nod solemnly. "Do you miss staying here?" He asked. I stare at the ground unsure of an answer to give."Amanda," he calls out."It was so long ago. It's like I don't remember much but I also remember a lot at t
Amanda's POVExperience is one perfect teacher, except you're not the type that pays attention or doesn't learn your lesson at once. I have had so many traumatic and humiliating events in my life and through all of these, I have learnt various lessons. Ones that were helpful and ones that were painful. But through all these toxic experiences, I always held my head high. I never bow down to fear or shame, neither did I ever compromise my beliefs, principles and values.Although, I have heard about Jackson's parents, and from the information they seemed to be good people and wouldn't really care about all of the false rumours flying around. However, my experience with Rick's parents, the way they humiliated me before my kids and the painful part was the hateful words that were said to my kids and I was helpless all because they were Rick's parents and they were my future parents- in-law back then. Thinking about these, I was reluctant about letting Timothy and Sarah visit Jackson's pare
Amanda's POVA mother's protective energy is the wildest thing that's beyond imagination. You are asleep, yet you are awake. As a mother, that is how it will go, even when your kids are grown up and are now living their lives, you still can't outgrow the desire to want to protect them everytime.Your heart always looks out for the ones you love. Timothy and Sarah were part of the people I loved dearly, I could easily lay down my life for them. But It saddens me when I think about the mental and psychological stress they have had to go through just because they were born by me, a scentless wolf.It was always from one problem to another since the day they were born. I blamed myself for everything. But the peace in all of these was the fact that they never complain at any point in time. Instead, they stood by my side and would even comfort me as an adult would do.Whenever I looked at them, I would give grateful thanks to the moon goddess for guiding me when I found out that I was pregn
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
