Fated to my One Night Stand

Fated to my One Night Stand

Amber Moon gave up her title as Princess and heir to the Realm and spent three years as an Omega to prove love was real, only to watch the man she sacrificed everything for choose her best friend instead. Betrayed and heartbroken, she ran. In the forest where Rogues attacked, a stranger saved her life. Under the full moon, they realized they were fated mates and gave in to a steamy one-night stand, never seeing each other’s face. At dawn, she woke alone, told she meant nothing by a man posing as her mate’s subordinate. Shattered, Amber returned to the Palace and agreed to the contract marriage her father had been demanding—to Axel Edgewood, the Alpha she’d never met. But when Axel walked into the room, Amber’s world tilted. He was the wolf from the forest. Her mate. The man who’d thrown her away. And he didn’t recognize her because of her hidden identity. But she did him. Axel had spent his life fulfilling duty. Now, bound by a curse, he stood across from a Princess he didn’t want and proposed a one-year contract marriage. Fulfill their duty, then walk away. For Amber, one year was freedom from the man she hated. For Axel, one year to find the mate he’d lost. Neither expected the curse to demand more than a contract. Or for the secrets between them to tear the Realm apart—hers is a ticking clock she doesn’t know exists, his is a darkness that kills without mercy. One year. One contract. One impossible truth. What happens when the mate you’re searching for is the wife you’re trying to escape? And when the man you’re running from is the only one who can keep you alive?

Chapter: Chapter Forty Two: The Aftermath Was Better Than the Drama
~Amber’s POV~ This was the part in movies where someone went… “Awkwarddddddd” with a well-deserved drag of the words.I was permitted to laugh, right?I had no idea who I was asking that question, but if I did, maybe they would tell me that I was not a bad person for feeling so utterly satisfied.A satisfaction that hadn’t left since I had seen a scene that would scar me for life and Axel had all but shoved me away from that kitchen doorway.Which made me simply return to the room, and even though he hadn’t come back after that, had only sent a message through the psych link the next morning to get dressed with a weather so clear it couldn’t be imagined it had rained and then get in the car that was already waiting for me, that had then brought me to the plane, where the feeling of déjà vu hit me hard because I was sitting in the exact same spot, and I knew that it was all happening as thoughts spiraling in my head but I should really take a breather, and so I did…I sucked in a deep

Chapter: Chapter Forty One: Nobody Warned Him About the Kitchen
~Axel POV~ It was simple.I was bored, I knew sleep wasn’t coming, and the very well-documented asshole part of me that I had never particularly tried to hide had decided to take the wheel.And I might have taken the outrageous expression that had shot across her face after I asked the question as a cue to stop but I was so thoroughly entertained that I pushed forward instead.“It wasn’t a rhetorical question, Prin—”The slap landed before I finished the word.The shock of it wiped everything else out for a full second — the sound, the sting spreading across my cheek, the sheer fact that she had done it and before I could snap back to myself her voice cut in, cold in a way that was completely different from her usual anger. Quieter. Harder.“Don’t you dare ever disrespect me like that again.”Then she was off the bed, across the room, and the door slammed behind her hard enough to rattle the frame.The room went very still.My cheek stung. Ash let out a low, disapproving growl some

Chapter: Chapter Thirty Nine: Are You a Virgin, Princess?
~Amber’s POV~ I had no idea why it came to me. Even less of an idea why it arrived laced with jealousy. Even lesser why I turned it into a rule and put it out into the open air between us.But it was out there, and there was no taking it back.It had changed something, shifted the atmosphere in the room in a way that had nothing to do with the storm outside, and it hadn’t lifted through the silence that followed, hadn’t lifted when I eventually peeled myself away to shower and changed into something looser and more comfortable, hadn’t lifted when he did the same. It just sat there over our heads like its own separate cloud, heavier somehow than the one currently emptying itself outside.The rain was coming down properly now. Not the polite kind — the kind that meant business, sheets of it hitting the makeshift barrier over the window in rhythmic waves, drumming against the roof, filling every corner of the small room with that thick, heavy sound that usually made people feel coco

Chapter: Chapter Thirty Seven: The Kiss Was the Consequence
~Axel’s POV~ I knew she was going to throw it at me.And she was lucky that the cost of the bottle translated directly into the quality of the glass, which meant I knew it wouldn’t break. Otherwise I genuinely would have made her replace it, regardless of the sharp little gasp of shock that she hadn’t realized her action that left her lips, all of that happening in the same second the lights went out.‘Zane.’ I reached through our psych link immediately, channeling my heightened senses at the same time to cut through the dark, fixing my eyes on Amber Moon where she stood frozen, looking like someone who had just fully registered what they had done.‘With the number of times you call my name,’ his reply came instantly, ‘I would be offended if you don’t name your firstborn son after me.’I ignored that. ‘What happened to the lights?’‘They went out.’‘I can see they went out,’ I snapped. ‘Why?’‘I don’t know, Axel,’ He shot back, and even through the link his tone had an edge to it,

Chapter: Chapter Thirty Six: The Darkness Came at the Right Time
~Amber’s POV~ The words landed like a physical blow.Her blood is on your hands, Princess.I didn’t think. I didn’t breathe. Before the sentence had even finished settling into the air, my legs were already moving, carrying me out of the room and down the hallway at a dead sprint.The front desk was empty.Panic hit me like cold water to the face. I spun in a full circle, heart slamming against my ribs, eyes sweeping the cramped lobby — the peeling wallpaper, the flickering fluorescent light and the now empty counter. I closed my eyes and pulled hard, reaching for her scent.There — faint traces of floral perfume and nervous sweat cutting through the stale indoor air. I latched onto it and followed it out through the front door, the night air hitting my face in a cold rush.Outside, I turned in every direction, scanning the dark parking lot, the road beyond it, the tree line swallowed in shadows. The scent was there but distant. Fading. Like it had already traveled further than my

Chapter: Chapter Thirty Five: Her Blood Is on Your Hands
~Axel’s POV~ “They are going to murder each other,” Zane said as soon as we both stepped into the room.I was already well aware of that. More specifically, Amber would kill Cassandra because I had felt a ripple of her power earlier, sharp and uncontrolled. Even though Cassandra was powerful, most of it stemmed from her above-everyone attitude and sheer arrogance, not actual strength.“I see that is your intention.” Zane’s voice held a touch of humor. “Kill two birds literally with one stone.”My eyes moved away from the door I had been staring at and swept across the room instead. Faded floral wallpaper peeling at the corners. A bed that looked like it had seen better days decades ago. Carpet so worn the pattern was barely visible. A lamp on the nightstand with a shade that didn’t match.The level I had worked hard to place myself at kicked in unconsciously, my entire being recoiling at how beneath me this place was.But I had survived traveling through the woods for weeks before.

Chapter: Chapter Forty Seven
Dread crept over her, a chill running down her spine. She stared at the message, a surge of fear and confusion flooding her mind. Who was behind this threat? The text had come from a different number. Her thoughts raced, trying to make sense of the menacing warning.With a shaky hand, she put the phone down, her mind reeling with a thousand questions and an equal number of fears. The ominous message echoed in her mind, leaving her on edge and uncertain of what would come next.Taking in a deep breath, she composed herself and walked out of the building, hurrying to the one person that made her feel safe in all the chaos revolving around her life.Crystal threw herself at Ryke immediately she set her eyes on him, catching him off guard, and he hesitated before wrapping his arms around her.

Chapter: Chapter Forty Six
“I asked you a question, Crystal,” Logan gritted his teeth.Shaking her head, Crystal took a step back from the painting and let out a hollow laugh, “I just realized something. Crystal? I thought I was snowflake.”Logan’s glare intensified, “That still doesn’t answer my question.”Crystal rolled her eyes and turned to Isabella, “So I guess I was wrong and you are innocent,” she spat."Wrong or not, it doesn't change the fact that I had nothing to do with whatever mess you've found yourself in," Isabella finally spoke, her voice calm but tinged with an undercurrent of irritation.Crystal's frustration flared, her eyes narrowing as she retorted, “Logan might have gotten you out but I know what I saw and I have evidence. There are also witnesses that saw you enter Ryke’s mansion.”Isabella chuckled darkly, a bitter edge to the sound. "Evidence can be deceiving, and witnesses can be manipulated. You should know that, Crystal."Crystal shook her head in disbelief. "I trusted you, Isabella

Chapter: Chapter Forty Five
Crystal stepped into the sterile, echoing confines of the visiting room at the correctional facility. Her breath caught as she caught sight of Isabella, sitting calmly, seemingly indifferent to the world around her. Crystal's heart pounded against her chest as she approached the table, her emotions in turmoil, her hands trembling with a mix of apprehension and longing for answers."Isabella," Crystal's voice quivered slightly as she took a seat across from her former best friend. Isabella lifted her gaze casually, her expression unreadable. Crystal's eyes searched Isabella's face, seeking any hint of remorse, of the friendship they once shared, but found nothing."I'm surprised you came," Isabella remarked casually, her tone devoid of emotion. "I had to," Crystal replied, her voice breaking slightly. "I need to understand, Bels. Why? Why did you do it?"Isabella leaned back in her chair, a faint smirk playing at the corners of her lips. "I have no idea what you're talking about," she

Chapter: Chapter Forty Four
Chloe slowly fluttered her eyes open, the hazy blur of the hospital room coming into focus. The sterile scent, the faint hum of machines, all too familiar yet always disconcerting. As her vision cleared, she caught sight of Christian, his relief evident as their eyes met.A faint smile tugged at Christian's lips, but Chloe could see the underlying worry etched in the lines of his face, his attempt at humor failing to mask his concern. "Hey there, sleeping beauty," he quipped, a weak attempt to lighten the weight of the moment. "Is this becoming our thing now? Almost getting killed and ending up in the hospital?”Chloe managed a small, tired chuckle, but the gravity of their situation weighed heavily upon her. "Seems like it," she murmured, her voice hoarse from the ordeal. "But I wouldn't mind a change of pace anytime soon."Their banter masked the underlying tension that lingered in the air. Chloe's gaze softened as she reached out, her fingers lightly brushing against Christian's ha

Chapter: Chapter Forty Three
The cacophony of voices echoed around him, distant yet somehow piercing. He found himself standing in the hazy periphery of a scene, a memory from his childhood that remained etched in his subconscious—the day he overheard his parents arguing.Their voices, once muffled whispers, now reverberated sharply through the walls, a symphony of discord that shook the very foundation of his understanding. Logan crept closer to the partially ajar door of his father’s study, drawn by the urgency in his parents' voices. He lingered, unseen, on the periphery of their heated exchange."I can't believe you're bringing this up again!" Jessica’s voice was filled with a mixture of anguish and exasperation."Jessica, he deserves to know," his father's voice replied, the weight of responsibility tinged with a hint of sorrow.Their words were like shards of glass, piercing Logan's sheltered world, fragmenting the illusion of his reality. He stood frozen, unseen, as the truth unfolded in the exchange bet

Chapter: Chapter Forty Two
Logan's sleek black sedan pulled up outside the police station. Stepping out, his demeanor was one of controlled urgency, every stride purposeful as he approached the entrance.Approaching the front desk, he spoke with a tone that demanded attention. "I need to speak with someone in charge regarding the arrest of Isabella Montez."The officer behind the desk regarded Logan with a hint of skepticism, his uniform crisply pressed as he sized up the affluent newcomer. "I'm sorry, sir. I can't provide details about ongoing cases."Logan's frustration simmered beneath his controlled demeanor. "I understand, but Ms. Montez's arrest is a mistake. I need to rectify this immediately."The officer glanced at his computer screen before meeting Logan's gaze. "I'll see if someone can speak with you, sir. Please wait here."Minutes dragged like hours as Logan paced the station's lobby, his mind racing with a myriad of scenarios and strategies to make Isabella's release. Finally, a stern-looking de
