All Chapters of Bride Of The Lycan King: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Amber’s POV I woke up to the sound of my own wail tearing through the night like claws. Cold sweat clung to my skin, making my nightdress stick to my skin. I jumped as hands gripped my shoulder, shoving myself away from whoever it was while holding up my own hands defensively. My body reacted impulsively, and before I could even think about what I was doing, water spilled out of my palm, drenching Alpha Dale. I gasped as my brain caught up with my body, moving further away from him as the bed would allow. My breath came out in huffs and puffs, and by now, I had completely forgotten about the dream—memory—that woke me from sleep. Instead, I watched in horror as water dripped from Alpha Dale’s body, soaking the bed beneath him. I winced, half expecting him to lash out angrily or scold me—it never came; instead, his cool voice broke through the silence that had settled in the room after my piercing scream. “Are you okay?” he asked, reaching for me. Despite the fact that he w

Amber’s POV Ten years ago My body was broken, and I was nothing but a heap of skin and broken bones sprawled against the filthy, dirt floor. The dim room stank of human waste, suffering, and death, and cold seeped into my bones, no matter how much I squeezed myself like a ball. I could hardly tell how much time has passed since they dragged me in here. Hunger and starvation wrecked through my already broken body, and I was sure that if this went on for a few more days, I was going to die. Not that I had died the other eight times they put me in here with the same treatment. Just like now, I was sure I was going to die then, but they always came to get me out before my body finally gave up. This time though, I was sure they had abandoned me here. How long ago was it since I saw sunlight? I could hardly remember. It felt like months. My throat was parched to the point it felt like a needle piercing my neck. My tongue was so swollen it was like it was permanently stuck to the roo

Amber’s POV I knew I was in trouble, and like most times, I wasn’t sure what trouble I was in or what punishment I would get. The moment I stepped into Alpha Derrick’s office, she shut it with a force that rattled my bones. Flinching, I stumbled back, bracing myself for whatever punishment he was about to unleash. “Sit!” he snapped. My knees buckled before I even reached the chair. I sank into it, wincing as the cold, hard surface dug into my skin. Alpha Derrick remained standing, looming over me with cold, calculating eyes. In this pose, he looked like a predator who just caught prey in his trap. “I’m going to make this quick, Amber.” His voice was clipped, each word dripping with irritation and resentment. “Did you get your wolf? ”The question slammed into me like a fist to the gut. Shame clawed at my throat, and I dipped my gaze to my trembling hands. Twisting and untwisting my fingers as if I could wring the answers out of them. “No,” I breathed. Alpha Derrick released a

Amber’s POV Something was wrong. Something was horribly wrong, but I couldn’t place my fingers on it. I thought hard about everything. About Alpha Derrick’s word—threat. I thought about my place in this pack. I even considered running away, but I shook that last thought away. I was not ready for the consequences of becoming a rogue. Not having a pack affiliation—no matter how thinly stretched it was—would do me no good. I was better off here. I nodded with a convinced nod. No matter how badly they treated me, this was my home. The only one I knew—although I didn’t love—but leaving here scared the hell out of me. People out there could be worse than—The sound of a familiar voice startled me out of my thoughts, and I bit the inside of my cheek as Lydia suddenly appeared in the kitchen area. Becca, an omega who worked in the kitchen as well, spared me a pitiful glance before shuffling out of the space around me. “Do you want to tell me you did not hear me calling you three go

Yeti’s POV Alpha Dale was a mess. I saw him breaking apart in front of me, but I could only watch and do nothing to help him. It squeezed at my heart. I knew how bad it was to feel… powerless. Especially for a man like him who had all the power in the world. Seeing your loved one suffer was… well. A punishment I didn’t want to endure. Janine was not taking this well either. Earlier, I had had to watch her argue and then fight with Alpha Dale. I had no idea what it was about, but I knew it had something to do with that uncle of his and the stupid council. I clenched my fist as I thought of them. They did this to her. They put Amber in this state. She was finally healing, and they sent her spiraling over the edge. I was going to—I didn’t realize I was gritting my teeth or that my abilities were spilling out of me until I felt a firm but warm touch on my shoulder. I blinked, looking up to meet my mother’s warm gaze. I sighed, and she sighed as well. Removing her hand from my
