All Chapters of The First of Her Kind: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The days seemed to blur together for Amani and Malakai over the next several weeks. For the first time since his mother died, Malakai felt a profound sense of happiness and completeness. He couldn't help but notice how much Amani had changed since the day she confessed her love. Her face would light up the moment she laid eyes on him after a long day apart, and her gaze was filled with a newfound affection. It was as if he had everything he needed and couldn't ask for more.Amani, too, experienced a similar transformation. While she knew that her healing process was far from over, she felt her heart slowly mending. Although, nothing could ever replace or bring back what she had lost, she found peace in what she had gained - a loving, attentive, and protective mate. Malakai not only embraced her for who she was, but he loved her even more because of it.Even on days when Malakai had to fulfill his duties at court with his father, he made it a point to spend all his free time with Amani

Amani recounted every detail of her interaction with Jax that night to Malakai. She vividly described the way he had touched her and the repulsive words he had uttered. As she finished narrating the entire incident, from the moment Jax approached her to the moment she left him in the garden, she couldn't help but notice a chilling shift in Malakai's eyes. A darkness crept in, one that went beyond the emergence of his wolf. What she saw there in his gaze was no longer rage, but something far more alarming: it was murder.Without hesitation, Malakai stormed out of their chambers, and Amani quickly followed in his wake down the corridor that led to the West Wing. He looked like a complete madman, his fists tightly clenched, turning a fiery red, and the veins bulging on his neck, which only added to his already intimidating presence. Amani had never witnessed this side of Malakai before, and it unsettled her deeply."Kai, where are we going?" She called out, her voice trembling with fear.

Amani began dressing herself in new undergarments, while Malakai adjusted himself back into his pants. They exchanged smiles, blushing over the recent events that had unfolded between them."Amani, I have to ask... where did you learn that?" Malakai gave her a scrutinizing look.Amani rolled her eyes, aware that her possessive Alpha would inevitably inquire. "I learned it from a previous lover," she teased playfully.Malakai's expression turned cold. The mere thought of Amani having sexual encounters with someone else was enough to turn him into a crazed madman. "Do not toy with me, Amani," he warned sternly.She noticed the turmoil stirring within him and swiftly responded before his head exploded. "Once, my friend Lily and I stumbled upon some erotic literature. We laughed as we read through it, but it certainly piqued our curiosity. Back then, my young mind couldn't fathom how anyone could enjoy such explicit content. But today, it proved quite useful," Amani smirked and playfully

Amani woke up alone the next morning in Maggie's room, her head throbbing from a long night of relentless tears. But nothing ached more than the pain she felt in her tortured heart. As she sat up in bed, reflecting on the events of the previous night, she couldn't help but feel like a complete failure. She couldn't help but wonder if her parents were still alive, would they have worn the same disappointed expression as Malakai had. She was relieved that she would never have to see that look from her father; it would have surely been the death of her.The humiliation she felt was indescribable. A crowd had gathered to witness her long-awaited transformation, only for it to never happen. King Zander's words echoed in her mind, and she reluctantly admitted he had been right about her all along. She now believed she was nothing but a mistake, and perhaps it would have been better if she had never been born. And Malakai, he too saw her as a disgrace, at least that’s what reflected in his e

The entire Royal Council was in an uproar when Malakai revealed his intention to attempt to mark his wolf-less mate."Your Highness," one of the council members spoke up, "no she-wolf has ever received a mate mark without first shifting. The Lycan and the wolf both have to accept it; everyone knows that. Marking your mate binds not only your soul to hers, but the souls of both wolves. Without your mate's wolf, we cannot predict the consequences. It could be excruciatingly painful if she doesn't have her wolf to accept it and brand the mark.""I understand this completely," Malakai asserted, "but Amani is the strongest she-wolf I've ever known, and I know you all can agree with that sentiment. We all know she shouldn't have survived Jax's attack, but she did. She has strong, resilient Lycan blood, the blood of an Alpha. If there is any chance that marking her can awaken her wolf, then I have to try."“There is still the matter of her being barren, Malakai,” the King pointed out.“We do
