LOGINThanks so much for giving this book a chance. If you enjoyed the chapter please do drop a gem. Thank you.
Hello my lovelies, Just thought I would pop on to let you know that I am now on my Christmas break. I have chapter 50 part written but with all the festive music and baking going on, whatever I upload won’t be doing the book any justice Plus the next chapters are pivotal for the plot. I want to take this time to thank you for your patience with me. 2025 has been tough for everyone and I’m going to push myself in 2026 to be the author you all deserve. Each chapter you unlock means the world to me and I can’t say how much I appreciate you all. I will try and upload 28/29 December as that is my first day at home over the break. Then I will push forward with this book to finish for you.
Amara POV It takes longer to fall asleep than I was used to now, Erik’s absence by my side highly noticeable as my body refuses to adhere to my need for rest. I was used to him being next to me now, even in this small space of time…I stupidly allowed myself to think it would be like this for the rest of my nights. Him beside me. Me falling asleep in safe arms. For once I leave my bedroom door unlocked, knowing it wouldn’t stop him anyway, but part hoping he would see it as an invitation to join me when he returned. Which seemed to work, because during the night I feel warm hands wrap around my body and pull me to a strong chest. That sensation of warmth and safety finally returning to me….my mind now comfortable enough to rest. Until I am abruptly woken by Erik leaping out of bed….his sudden movements sending my senses into overdrive. “What is it, what’s wrong?” I reach for the lamp, blinking into the dimly lit room as my mate moves to the door, his hands rubbing at his
Erik POV “Alpha, thank you for coming.” “This better be good, I’ve been on patrol, and you’ve just taken me from my mate.” A low vibration exudes from my chest, my alpha wolf not even being subtle in informing the doctor of his irritation at the late-night mind link. I had finally dragged myself away from the borders when Estrid assured me she would remain, my timing being opportunistic in warning Alpha Augustus of his place in my home. Amara wasn’t naïve when it came to him or his daughter, but he had a way of extracting blood from a stone. “The luna…or the erm, not yet luna….” My growl starts to make him nervous, I wasn’t ready for Amara to be announced as the Luna yet, I had marked her…I had claimed her…I had completed the mate bond, yet I was holding back. I wasn’t ready to put her in the line of fire, not while I can still protect her. Wolves still attacked the borders in the night, enemies that weren’t sending out demands…that weren’t resting. I knew t
Amara POV I’ve been sleeping in Erik’s bed for the last week, every night. Even if I try to go to my room first, he shortly comes and collects me, not leaving me a lone…like I was his new obsession…a toy he couldn’t put down. Behind the closed door of his bedroom, I was every part of a mate to him, his fingers…his lips didn’t leave me alone. Even when we slept his wolf would seek me out, yanking me into his arms, his touch possessive even in his dreams. Yet in the day, around the others, nothing has changed. Secret rendezvous in his office, hungry kisses when the hallway was empty, but when Estrid or Finn enter, he jumps away from me. I was the secret…again. Just like before. But this time was different, I don’t doubt his feelings for me, I know he wants me, he was just delaying telling others due to political reasons…Nina and her father still sniffing around. I was exhausted, extra sleepy from the physical demands on my body when I already wasn’t eating enough to keep up
Amara POV I’ve been awake for the past hour, my eyes scanning the scene around me…I was in the alpha’s private rooms…in his bedroom. It’s exactly as I had pictured it in my mind, the character of the room completely matching Erik. Clean, crisp…even a tad cold just like the pack lands in the mountains. But I was starting to warm to the location, starting to adapt to the climate….to Erik. I can’t believe I allowed myself to fall asleep in his bed, I can’t believe I was able to doze off…I always struggled to sleep anywhere new. But not last night, it has to be the best sleep I have had in years. He didn’t kick me out, not only did he complete the bond between us, but he kept me in his bed last night. Even now, his hands are wrapped around my waist as he gently breathes by my ear. I don’t dare move, in fear of waking him. But then in not moving, I fear the regret on his face when he wakes…the cold realisation of the morning after, when the jealousy has worn off and
Erik POV Those three little words threaten to break my resolve… “I am untouched…” If ever there was a moment to think she was mine above anyone else’s it was now. She was completely untouched, and I bet that damn pussy didn’t even have the balls to kiss her. She was completely mine for the taking and fuck me, did I want to take it all. She wanted to make me jealous, and damn did it work. Just the thought of another male touching her, dancing up next to her….supplying her with shots, sent my wolf into overdrive. My wolf growls in my head at the very thought of others thinking they can dare to touch what is his, dare to think they would stand a chance. “Erik? Are you okay, you’ve been silent…” “My wolf…he….he wants you.” “He wants me…” “He’s wanted you from the very first time that we saw you, since you bargained for my life.” I grunt out, the memory of finding her for the first time as she was pleading for my life comes into mind. “What do you want?” She seductively que
