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
Amanda's POV.Nothing is of less importance. You may not need a thing right now, and you pay less attention or value it. But when the need for such a thing arises, you will realise its importance. Sometimes, it may even be what you use every time and you never value it because you could have it anytime, but when there is an urgent need for it and it is not available, that is when you discover its value.The same thing was happening at the moment. I was in desperate need of water but I couldn't have it. That was when I understood why people say that water is life.Like the end of a race, we finally got home. Once we drove through the gate, everyone had assembled outside, waiting to welcome us, including Sarah and Timothy.“Why are there so many people here?” I whispered to Jackson in surprise.“They are here for you, ma'am” he replied and laughed.“But why? We are not coming from war!”“Well, you are my wife, and the Luna of this pack. It is indirectly the duty of everyone here to prot
Amanda's POVThe day started with colors of love and goodness. Breakfast in bed, laughter and a reassurance of hope. It was as if nothing happened yesterday, I never had the chance or time to think about it. I was grateful that Jackson got to me on time and that was it. From the moment we got home up until the next morning, I have enjoyed care and love and nothing less. Whether Rick was thrown into the lion's den or he was finished off immediately was not anything I would worry about. He deserves whatever happens to him from now on.I woke up to breakfast and the beautiful sight of the father of my kids. It was the greatest blessing I would love over and over.We got ready together and headed down to Timothy and Sarah's flat, it was as though I had spent a week apart from them. I kept missing them and anticipated meeting them again. They had just finished having breakfast fast too and they were ready for the day too.“Good morning mummy and daddy” they both greeted us. I never taught
Jackson's POVBecoming a better version of yourself may seem hard, but when you truly and sincerely begin the process, you will realize how much you were depriving yourself of a good life for holding back all these while. Fulfilling the duties and responsibilities of my position as the Alpha of the biggest wolfpack was something I did with one hundred percent devotion. Because my pack was the biggest, my responsibilities were not only limited to my own wolfpack alone, I was obligated to look out for the other wolf packs too, as they were indirectly under my care. That doesn't not mean there were no boundaries, they had their rules and regulations, they had their own practices and traditions too. My role was to ensure safety, block injustice or invasion from enemies and to also analyze individual pack’s activities.However, I was imperfect just like everyone else. Although, onlookers viewed me as a down-to-earth man and could never make mistakes. That was only limited to my position an
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
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
