All Chapters of The First of Her Kind: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Amani lay in her bed, crying underneath the covers for the past hour. Maggie and Penelope had been desperately trying to console her, but their efforts proved futile. "Amani, sweetie, I know Kai didn't mean it," Maggie reassured, her voice filled with compassion. "In all these weeks, he's never done anything to hurt you. I know he feels extremely remorseful right now." "I'm not crying because he hit me," Amani interjected, her voice quivering. Maggie's eyebrows furrowed as she exchanged a confused glance with Penelope. "You're not?" She asked, her tone laced with surprise. "No," Amani replied, her voice strained. "I'm crying because I don't have a wolf." Maggie's confusion deepened, and she struggled to comprehend Amani's unexpected revelation. "Amani, you've been crying this whole time because you don't have a wolf?" Amani nodded, her tears flowing uncontrollably. "Yes, because if I had a wolf, I would have shifted and killed him right then and there!" She exclaimed, her words f

Amani couldn't bring herself to finish her meal after the scene the Royal Family put on. She wasn't quite ready to retire for the night as it was still early, so she went for a walk in the garden to get some fresh air. She had a strong urge to check on the Prince, but after their little dispute that morning, she wasn't sure how to approach him, especially in his current drunken state.The distant music and laughter from the party echoed softly as she sat on a bench near the pond, watching the koi fish and slipping into a daze. She missed her mother and father deeply and would give anything to be held in their arms again. The pain of never having the chance to see her father one last time before his passing tore at her heart. He had been tirelessly overseeing the preparations for her party, ensuring every detail was perfect.The last time she saw him was the night before. Unable to sleep, she had gone to see him in his study, where he would tell her stories about the Alphas of Bloodmoo

Amani and Maggie stood over Malakai's unconscious body, which lay on the floor, covered in the sheet Amani had hastily wrapped around him."You hit him with a lantern!?" Maggie exclaimed, her voice filled with shock and disbelief."He was going to take advantage of me!" Amani defended."You can't take advantage of your mate. It's your duty!" Maggie insisted."My duty?!" Amani grumbled, her voice dripping with annoyance. "I'm sorry, Maggie, but I'd like to think my place in this world is more than letting him pump into me whenever he's drunk and horny! Besides, I don't have a wolf, and he was not in his right frame of mind. He would have gone all animalistic on my body! He could have seriously hurt me."Maggie let out a long sigh, her resistance fading. "Well, I suppose you're right."Amani leaned down and gently placed her hand on Malakai's chest, anxiously checking to ensure he was still breathing. "Is he going to be alright?" she asked, her voice laced with concern."It's going to t

Amani was heading back to her chambers when she heard the Prince and his Beta turning down the same hall, their laughter roaring through the corridor. They were both shirtless, and their hair was drenched in sweat, indicating that they had just returned from a run. As they stopped in front of her, Malakai's smile quickly dissolved into a more serious expression."Hello, Amani," Malakai said softly."Good afternoon, Your Highness," Amani curtsied gracefully."You look absolutely beautiful today," the Prince complimented, as his gaze swept over her.Amani's cheeks flushed with a tinge of pink as she replied, "Thank you."Archer looked back and forth between the two with a silly grin on his face. Amani gave him a meaningful look, hoping that the young Beta would get the hint."Well, I think I'll go wash up now," Archer’s voice sliced through the awkward silence. He cast a playful glance at Malakai before he sauntered away."Sorry about him," the Prince said, flashing a lighthearted smile

After their boat ride, Malakai gallantly escorted Amani back to her chambers. He tenderly kissed her hand and bid her a sweet goodnight. "I had a wonderful time with you tonight, Amani," he expressed.Amani blushed, her voice filled with a mix of formality and affection. "And I, too, Your Highness... I mean... Malakai. Would you care to join me inside?"Malakai raised an intrigued eyebrow, surprised by Amani's bold suggestion at such a late hour.Amani chuckled softly, shaking her head. "No, I mean... there's something I'd like to show you, something I made for you."Curiosity danced in Malakai's eyes as he furrowed his brow and smiled. "You've made something for me?"Amani beamed, nodding eagerly. She led Malakai into her chambers, the air thick with anticipation. Gracefully, she removed her cloak and guided him towards her easel. With a flourish, She removed the sheet from the easel, casting a hopeful glance in Malakai's direction.Amani's heart pounded against her ribcage, threaten
