Amara POVAs I sat down at the table, I felt as if the life was being squeezed out of me by the gown. Corsets are out of style these days, but the gowns that are worn are tightly laced in the back, just like a corset would be. I will never understand why any woman would ever wear such a thing. Sebastian walked in and joined me, sitting at the end of the table, and I was next to him around the corner. It was silent for the longest time. Mainly because I couldn’t hold enough breath to speak. Though, I’m still embarrassed about the whole situation outside..As we were finishing up, Sebastian looked at me.“What’s wrong?” He asked, furrowing his brows slightly.“It’s hard to breathe.” I said, moving around to hopefully loosen the laces. He let out a sigh and stood up, then walked over to me.“Stand.” He said. I pushed back the chair slightly and stood up, just as he asked. Why does he want me to stand?I was surprised when he moved the chair and stood behind me.“I will tell Kleo not to

Amara POVGoddess, he’s so close.. so close that the room around us disappears into oblivion. All I see is him, and all I feel is him. His hand wrapped tightly against mine, his other hand cupping my cheek. And then he kisses me.His lips are softer than anything l've ever known, soft like the sheets of our bed, soft like the silk wrapped around our hands. He tastes so sweet, as sweet as his scent is. My mind went blank as our lips danced around the others. And then he pulled away, his face completely void of all emotions. The room around us clapped and cheered happily, causing me to look in their direction. There are more people here than I originally thought. A few hundred at the least. My eyes skimmed over the people until they landed on my family. My Father and my brothers. They looked pleased to see that we’ve finally wed. My father most of all. “Now it is time to crown Amara as the Queen.” The elder said. He turned and grabbed a silver crown off of a stand nearby. It look

Amara POV“What we’re you thinking, Amara? You could be dead! I could’ve killed you!” He snapped as he paced around our chambers.“But you didn’t! I’m fine, and so it that servant.” I said as I crossed my arms and glared at him. Goddess, this man! He shook his head as he pointed at me. “Do you have a death wish or something? Do you really hate me that much that you’d jump in front of me when I’m like that? You’re lucky all I did was that.” He said as he pointed at my blood soaked gown.I furrowed my brows, “Hate you? You’re my mate, I could never hate you.” I said. Looking away from him in embarrassment.The room fell silent.I could never.. ever hate him. I don’t like him very much, but hate? No. Never in my wildest dreams.“Then why?” He asked. “Just because you go around all mad at night, killing servants, doesn’t mean I will sit back let you.” “Watch it, Amara.” He growled, his eyes flashing crimson.“Goddess, you’re just so awful! Can’t you just be grateful that I kept you fro

Amara POV“Your maid seems very comfortable in your presence.” He said before taking a bite of his food.I sucked in a breath, “yes, we are close.” “We are having dinner with my cousin later tonight.” He said. I nodded my head and went to take a drink of my tea when his hand grabbed my wrist, stopping me from moving any further.“I have chosen a gown for you. It is in our chambers. I wish for you to wear it.” He added.I looked at him, my brows furrowed.“A gown?” I asked. “Yes, Amara.”“Okay, I will.” I said, not questioning it further.He let go of my wrist and continued talking, “my cousin is a lecherous man. So I’d appreciate it if you stayed with Gatlin.. one of your lady maids or with me for the entire evening. Don’t wander by yourself. I wouldn’t do this dinner if it wasn’t imperative.” He said. “Yes, I understand.” I said with a nod.He sat there quietly for a few moments, just looking at me.“You snuck out.” He said. His eyes drifted down my gown before he looked away.“I

Sebastian POV Seeing Amara wear the gown I’d chosen for her pleased me. I wanted us to look like a happy, united couple in front of my cousin. Better for him to think we’re happy than not. The last thing I needed was for him to try something with her. And knowing him, he definitely will before he marries this Lola girl. Aside from that, she looked beautiful in the gown. She looked like a Queen. And that’s exactly how I want people to look at her. Not as an Alpha’s daughter. But as my wife. They would attempt walk all over her if they felt she wasn’t filling her role. Amara was silent for the entire dinner, aside from when answering those who spoke to her. I had a feeling she would be like that.. she’s a quiet little thing unless she’s giving me her attitude. I must admit, I kind of enjoy seeing the fire burn bright within her when she’s angry with me. After dinner had ended, she excused herself to ready for bed. Gatlin escorted her out of the dining hall while I stayed and
