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
Amanda's POVLife is full of ups and downs. And the best way to navigate through it without frustration is to accept it the way it comes. But the honest truth is that sometimes, it is really hard to just accept things the way they are and move on. One moment you have the chance to take on the whole joy of this world to yourself, then the next seconds, everything is scattered around again.Just a while ago, I had a wonderful evening with the whole of my family. Sarah and Timothy, Jackson, my future parents- in-law and myself, we had a blast spending the day together, we were all complete. It was the kind of family reunion we used to see on TV.But as usual, the romantic evening I was looking forward to having with Jackson was interrupted. I had hoped that we could continue what we didn't finish before we left for his parent's home in the afternoon. But Dolcie, who was another version of Judy, showed up in the pack again. I was livid. I thanked the moon goddess for serving Judy her own
Amanda's POVIt is one thing to be unaware of a danger, it is another thing to be aware and still act ignorantly. The former is a bit safe, while the latter is self-imposing pain on oneself.If I had not seen Rick on that evening, we would still be together and I would be living in lies while thinking that I had a happy relationship. He would have continued to fool me and as naive as I was, I would have remained glued to him thinking we were in love, thinking I was with the love of my life and choosing to settle for the bare minimum he had to offer.Right now something similar was about to happen and I wondered if it was my fate to always have to share the men in my life with another woman. Jackson was an adult, he had feelings too and he could choose whoever he wanted to spend his life with. I was not in the position to expect commitment from him. It was his choice. He had made so many promises and he kept confessing his affection towards me, but those were just words, I believe in a
