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 I fight with all my might, kicking and trying to bite on the large arm pinning me across my chest against my attackers body. He lifted me as if I weighed nothing, as if I were merely a feather. I scratch along his arms, drawing blood from his skin and I know it causes him pain because he curses out at me before carrying me through the alpha house and unceremoniously dropping me onto the office floor. I’m left in such a daze from fighting him off that I didn’t notice there are four other figures in the room, sitting on the floor with their legs crossed. The almighty powerful alpha family…left in tatters on the ground, their tails all but tucked behind their legs. “You!” Catherine seethes out at me as I move to the door, just as the burly brute slams it shut. I try opening it but he is pulling it closed. With that exit blocked, I move to the windows, trying to open them but they are locked. “The keys…where are the keys?” I cough out, moving to the alpha desk de
Erik POV The mission was simple, get in…get out. I fucking set it myself. The plan was to gain access to the Mystic Hallows pack grounds and sneak around the borders until I could pinpoint the location of the wolfsbane in their factories. Fuck me, I didn’t expect to find fields upon fields of them actually growing it. The purple tint of the plant spreading acres.The plan was to gain intelligence not get caught…and not find my life being bartered with between an Alpha and his daughter.A daughter…who seemed to be a real life cinderalla. Shit, I didn’t even work my palace staff like they worked her.Amara.I knew exactly what she was to me, from the minute I saw her. She was like nothing I had ever seen before, an unmatched beauty. Black raven hair, big brown eyes that were almost as dark as her hair. The softest of skin that made my wolf act erratically every time I touched her. She was weak…pathetic…but they made her like that. They had made her skin and bone, whereas I was used
Amara POV I’m frozen in a state of unadulterated fear, his cold hands still imprinted I’m sure upon the skin of my neck. Why me…why did he not kill me. My eyes drop down to the pack member beneath my feet…she was dead. Her eyes grey as she still stares back at me. Why did he kill her and not me. Trembling uncontrollably, I take an unsteady step forward. My footsteps silent…unlike his. His heavy footsteps against the decking are still echoing in my ear. I was bare footed, dressed in nothing but a black night slip, the night’s chill catching at the back of my throat. Maybe I would feel cold even on the hottest of nights from what I had just witnessed. An unmerciful…unnecessary death. He ordered me to stay here. I know better than to follow him, to head into the direction he sprinted off to. I know that it was only by some lucky chance that I survived his murderous hands. That others will not survive the night, but I can’t ignore the screams coming from the central pack r
Amara POV It has been a fortnight since Erik was banished…and I hadn’t been prepared for the fall out. I wasn’t expecting this pain in my chest, from his absence…a bond between us to be ignited from our marking, only then to be ripped apart. It’s worse at night time. That’s when the nightmares come. I wasn’t welcomed into the alpha house, not like before. If I thought I was an outcast then; I really wasn’t prepared for being even further pushed to the edges of pack society. I wasn’t allowed to eat dinner with the family, not like before. I was expected to attend the alpha household to attend to my duties, then go home to my new dwellings…my pack house near the monkshood farming fields that was starting to burn at my chest. Depending on the wind direction over the past two weeks, some days I wouldn’t even dare open the windows. The smell of my own burning lungs left me feeling sick along with a hacking cough at night times that nothing seemed to cure. The only food I ate w
Amara POVI am thrown, I don’t know how…but my body is forced backwards over the sofa at an incrediblespeed. Dangerous growls emit throughout the alpha office when I finally take stock of what has happened.Erik had launched himself at Catherine, knocking her off me but in doing so catching me in thecross-fire.“Jason, do something!” Catherine screams out as Erik picks her up off the floor by her throat, her legs dangling in the air as he pulls her with ease towards his face. As if she was as light as a feather. His biceps expand under his top, almost ripping the fabric. I knew he was strong from how he grabbed me when the stairs collapse but watching Catherine squirm in his hold, you wouldn’t think she was of alpha blood. Her voice becomes a gasp as Erik tightens his grip around her throat, cutting off her air supply. His jaw tenses as he brings his face closer to hers, her life moments away from ending.“No Erik.” I pull myself up off the floor, my energy levels depleting aga
Amara 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
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 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...
