Amara has tried everything for her family to love her, to accept her. Yet, she still remains the unwanted daughter of the Alpha…the outcast..a reject. Born prematurely, her mother dying in childbirth, Amara’s wolf failed to shift which meant her young sister, Catherine, took over her role as Alpha heir. They’ve taken everything from her, her title, her lands…her blood. Amara’s blood is the only thing that keeps Catherine alive. But they take it forcibly…and now they’ve taken her mate. The rogue that Amara pleaded with her father to save at the borders seems destined to be with Catherine, but with the pack’s reputation on the line her family force Amara to exchange her own mate…she has nothing left. After an attack on the pack, Amara is surprised to find that her new mate isn’t who he claimed to be…he was something more dangerous than just a rogue…and he’s come to avenge for what is his.
View MoreAmara POV “Don’t worry Amara Bloodstone, I won’t mate with you….not yet.” A darkness settles upon the already darkly lit hallway, Erik’s eyes turning sultry…and hungry. If the electricity worked in this house, I would expect the lights to flicker as an eerily cold atmosphere settles over us…something dark. His words silence me, my tongue becoming tied under his intense gaze. “Let’s see if the upstairs fairs better than the downstairs…” He offers out, his hand extending out to take mine. With a deep breath in he briefly closes his eyes, seemingly forcing his wolf back...those amber eyes not as red as they had just been. With hesitation, I place my hand out for his to take, that electric shock between us still as powerful. I look down at my hand which is now completely covered with his…I hadn’t even realised how small my hands were until now. I start to move up the stairs, the side railing rotten through as that smell of damp continues to linger. Embarrassed, I inhale as th
Amara POV “I can explain.” I murmur out, wanting to explain why he can’t feel my wolf. Why it’s not as bad as he thinks. Why I wouldn’t blame him for rejecting our bond now. “You don’t need to.” I’m surprised as his hand reaches up and tucks a stray piece of hair behind my ear. His eyes watching me carefully as I flinch slightly under his touch. I was rarely touched unless it was to punish me or take my blood. A frown forms onto his face as he drops his hand before his demeanour turns back to cold again. Those eyes regarding me as they did before…coldheartedly. Even though I didn’t want his touch, I find myself oddly missing it, my body colder now than it was before. Goosebumps erupt across my body, a chill spreading into my bones. “The key?” He abruptly turns to my father, his hand placed out expectantly. “Excuse me?” Father grunts out as his arms cross over his chest, his eyebrow quirking challengingly. I feel like I need to warn Erik, explain to him how you talk to an
Amara POV “You will trade mates Amara, Catherine will mark Jason once and for all.” Stepmother giggles out, clapping her hands together in excitement as if my heartbreak was a romantic notion for her to witness. As if I could bare to witness Catherine marking my mate before my very eyes. “What, now?” I gasp out, tearing my eyes away from the rogue…a strange frenetic energy buzzing between us. “No time like the present.” Stepmother manoeuvres over to Father, her arm hooking around his. Father’s cold expression leaving no room for negotiation. Not that I would even try, I was merely their puppet, my fate in their hands. My eyes frantically glance to the office door, if I dart for it now, I can escape. I can’t watch this; I can’t be a part of this. But one alpha command from father and my legs would stop, each footstep like stepping through thick mud. He truly had control over me. “Get on with it.” He grunts out, his eyes flickering to the rogue stood next to me. “I, Cathe
Amara POV I hear his gasp at my acceptance to his rejection, that pain not leaving me as Catherine had claimed it would. My hand reaches out for the door frame, I need to pull myself back into the hallway, my body starting to fail me. My heart felt as if it were being broken into tiny pieces, a pain that was unendurable. I couldn’t watch any more, the hellish scene forever imprinted into my mind. The scent of a whorehouse coming from her own bedroom, my own mate betraying me. My own mate rejecting me. I thought he loved me, how mistaken was I. I made it just to my bedroom before my stomach gave out, emptying what little I had eaten last night into the toilet of my private bathroom. Anger, anger I had never felt before, not even as they take my blood and repetitively refuse what is rightfully mine. Anger from his betrayal and from her taking him from me makes my flesh boil. I should go back, let him know what I think…but I hold my temper back. What was the point. No mat
Amara POV She was lying…yet why couldn’t I forget this niggling feeling deep within me. I couldn’t let her words get the better of me, I had too much to do. I had a breakfast to help prepare and I’d rather do it without the judgemental stare of the cook. I creep down the staircase, praying I wouldn’t need to fake a smile to anyone this morning. I just wanted to be alone, but then in being alone I would spiral. My mind would implode in on itself from her lies. Busying myself with breakfast, I didn’t even notice I had cut myself with the sharp kitchen blade until blood flowed onto the chopping board. “Damn it.” I say out to myself, running the cold kitchen tap before placing my finger under it. It wasn’t much of a cut but worry still washed over me as I placed a plaster upon it. I wasn’t allowed to hurt myself; I wasn’t allowed to get injured. Ever since they found out that my blood kept Catherine alive all my training came to an abrupt stop, also my private alpha training
Amara POV “Switch mates?” The words exit my mouth as my mind plays catch up. “As a member of this family I expect this from you!” Father demands out, my mind still unable to comprehend what is happening. “I don’t understand…” “Your blood, it has changed Catherine’s scent. The rogue here dares to believe that he is mated to her. An alpha born mated to a rogue…I can’t let this get out. It would ruin the pack’s reputation. ” My head turns, the roaring fire barely audible over Catherine’s sobs. She remains clutched to my stepmother’s side, unable to meet my eyes. Stepmother’s eyes have no fear in meeting mine, her chin tilts up…daring me to defy not only the alpha but also the luna. “You will exchange! As my eldest, I expect this from you…we expect this from you.” Expect this from me…how could he expect this from me. Expect me to give up my mate, what is mine. Finally, he was acknowledging me as the eldest, only to take away the one thing that was meant to be untarnished, un
Amara POV My blood was unique and for some reason it was the only substance that could help cure Catherine’s rare heart disease. It’s the only thing they valued about me, I knew it…even as they at times take it forcibly. Today the entire pack was to celebrate the news that only I was dreading. The news that my sister would be named as the future alpha of the pack. It would be a grand ceremony, enough money had been thrown into it, a night fit for the princess that she is. A night the pack will never forget. All would attend, it was expected by the alpha and luna. All but me. I was the illegitimate daughter, the one my father wishes to forget. My sister, Catherine, is to be the next alpha. Yet, I am older than her…I was meant to be the heir. She would be the one to inherit my lands, inherit my title…and he would do it in front of everyone to prove the point, yet keep me away. He was in charge; he was the big scary alpha of the Mystic Hallows pack. Nobody dares defy him, n
