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
Rick's POVIt is frustrating when you have to partner with someone who doesn't do anything right. First, the rogues ruined my plans by taking matters into their hands, and now these people were no different. Dolcie's father wanted her to become Jackson's Luna, and I wanted Amanda to become mine too. The person Dolcie wanted was standing in my way, the person I wanted was standing her way too. Logically, we were fighting the same battle since we have common enemies. And that was why I had gone to their pack to propose a partnership between us.When Amanda caught me with Judy, she walked away and that was the beginning of our terminated relationship. She was not a woman who could overlook cheating, she wouldn't endure such disrespect. I had not thought about using it again as a weapon. But when I met Dolcie and her father, they both suggested that Dolcie should seduce Jackson. If he falls into the trap this time, then it's a win for us because Amanda would definitely walk away again. Sh
Amanda's POVAlthough change is constant, there are still things and people that will never change no matter what happens. But then, as I kept seeing Jackson in a new light everyday, it was hard to not believe that he was now a better person. I guess it is true that people give time and attention to what is important to them. He has constantly displayed how important my kids and I were to him. No one would have believed that Jackson could become friendly and patient with anyone or anything. But things were looking great so far.I hoped that Dolcie would learn her lesson and stop filling a basket with water. I was in shock when she was thrown into the rogue's prison. Only a stupid person would come back after such an experience. But, no one knows how foolish she was.Maybe I was being paranoid, but this is that anyone who has gone through what Rick turned out to be, would become extra vigilant.Now that I saw his efforts, I knew I had to relax and allow things to work on it.We were ou
Amanda's POV Confused EnemiesOne beautiful thing that could satisfy your soul in the midst of turbulence is seeing your enemies confused and disagreeing with each other.Although I could not rejoice in that state, my subconscious mind was happy to see them argue with each other so much.Dolcie's father tried to convince her against her decision, even the witch kept telling them to think about it very well as it might have future consequences, she still disagreed and insisted on having my beauty. Since there was nothing to do and they had to move forward with the primary reason why they summoned me, Dolcie's father instructed the witch to go ahead and transfer my beauty to his daughter.It is not difficult to recognize a greedy person. All of them were a physical representation of greediness and nothing less. All because of a man that doesn't care about her miserable existence, she had decided to use a diabolical means to take me away. And Rick, he obviously had a mission that require
Jackson's POVThe afternoon was closing in as the sun’s brightness increased to become the day's beauty. Amanda and I stood in the corridor while watching Timothy and Sarah as they were playing outside and the chef soon sent out his assistant to inform us that lunch was ready. The kids ran inside with excitement and Amanda and I followed them behind. While we were about to enter the dining area, I noticed something strange about Amanda, her movement became slow and she began to lose consciousness like she was lost between reality and supernatural.Without wasting time, I took her away before anyone would notice what was happening. I knew it was not ordinary. Since I had marked her on the before, I knew I could help her come back by using our bond. So I got intimate with her in her subconscious state, after I made love to her, she came back to her senses.“What happened, what just happened to me earlier?” She was terrified in her sweaty body. I took a towel and wiped the sweat off her
The Rescue.Jackson's POVOnce I quit blaming others for what was happening, I realized my mistake, I stopped blaming myself too and then I had a clear mind on what I should do, and how I should protect my loved ones henceforth. If I had not fallen asleep Amanda would not be able to leave my side, at least I would have seen her. And if the guards had maintained their post, they would have been able to stop her when she was leaving, or call my attention immediately. We were all at fault. But then, if I must find a solution, I need to put the blame rhymes behind me and focus on locating my woman.All I knew was that her disappearance was related to what happened when we wanted to have lunch during the day. It never crossed my mind that anyone could come into the pack to abduct her. It was even impossible, such a thing can never happen.Amanda kept connecting with me to seek help, my heart was beating faster like it would explode out of my chest very soon.“Alpha, are you sure we can loc
Jackson's POVAmanda always tells me that there is a reason for everything. Just like now, I believe that the moon goddess gave us this mate bond for a reason, for situations like this. If there was nothing like a bond, Amanda would not have been able to connect with me and I wouldn't know where she was.“You all should think about what your punishment would be after today. Because you will surely pay for what you have done” I said while Amanda was still in my arms. She was weak and tired. Trying to connect with them required a lot of emotional strength. For her to be able to connect with me throughout those long hours, she must be so strong. That summed up why she was exhausted.“You can't threaten us,” Dolcie said.She sounded confident. I pitied her existence because I knew what would befall her by the time I am done with her. Even her father won't be left out of the wrath.“Threaten you, you say?” I chuckled sarcastically. “You see,” I continued “You Rock, I warned you several tim
Amanda's POVThere is physical pain, and there is emotional pain. One can be cured with medicines and herbs. The other is a bit difficult. But when the two happen to a person all at once, it could feel like hell. I went through hell and died a thousand times when I realised I have been living a life of lies with Rick, when I realised he never truly loved me, he was just marinating for a greater future taste, and that all of the love I had for him was fruitless. It was a hard pain to bear. All the follow up events that got my mind busy a7nd never really allowed me to mourn, but that doesn't mean the pain and hurt were not somewhere at the corner of my heart.Jackson came on board and has showered me with unimaginable affection. It was as though he was doing everything to make my wounded heart heal in time. I knew I needed to heal completely for us to move forward in our relationship. I was desperate to reciprocate his affection and show of love, but it was not working well for me. I wa
