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 Eighty Nine: Countdown~Amber’s POV~ “Having fun, are we?”If I wasn’t so exhausted and literally panting trying to catch my breath from almost being drowned seconds ago, I would curse the hell out of her and this time it would be very much deserved.“The moment I get out of here—” I managed to grit out between gasps, my lungs still burning from the water I had swallowed, the adrenaline still coursing through my body making my hands shake.“You are going to kill me?” She finished for me, and I couldn’t see her but I could picture the smile on her face, stretching those lips that I knew were still painted that corporate red. “You couldn’t think of something less cliché?”“I should be asking you the same thing, you psychopathic bitch!” I screamed out, still gasping, feeling a mix of rage and fear coursing through me in equal measure.I was shivering now. Violently. My entire body was soaked through from the water room, my dress clinging to my skin like ice, and I couldn’t tell if the shaking was from the c

Chapter: Chapter Eighty Eight: Come Alone~Axel’s POV~ The witches had been casting location spells for the past forty minutes.Nothing.My warriors were sweeping the city in a grid pattern, following scent trails that led nowhere.Nothing.The restaurant’s security footage showed her walking into the bathroom.Never walking out.And whoever took her knew enough about supernatural tracking to block every fucking method we had.I stood in the doorway, phone pressed to my ear, coordinating three different search teams while the King paced behind me.“Expand the perimeter to fifteen miles,” I said into the phone. “If the witches can’t locate her, she is either heavily warded or underground. Check abandoned buildings, warehouses, anywhere with reinforced basements.”“Yes, Alpha.”I hung up. Dialed another number.“Security footage from every traffic camera within a ten-mile radius. I want to see every vehicle that left this area in the thirty-minute window after she disappeared.”King Roland’s voice cut through from behind me, t

Chapter: Chapter Eighty Seven: Of Course He Does~Amber’s POV~ The thing about being taken by surprise in a way that couldn’t have been expected or imagined is that it completely takes over your thought process and in doing so, it makes the seconds and everything else pass you by without you even realizing it.“Amber Crystabel Moon.”I blinked at the call of my full name, realized that I was in a car and father was standing just outside the open door, waiting.Where the hell was I?And I should really stop with the whole cursing thing.My father broke through the thoughts. “You haven’t been listening to a word I’ve been saying all through the car ride, have you? And you didn’t hear a word of what I’ve been standing here saying either.”“That’s not true. I heard.”He gave me a look. The kind only fathers can give. “Okay, what was the last thing I said?”“That you are offering me the position of Director of Financial Oversight,” I said automatically, the words spilling out like they had been sitting right there waiting. “And the p

Chapter: Chapter Eighty Six: Two Islands and a Reality Show~Amber’s POV~ Should I say something?Who was I even asking? Because there was no one else in the room except me and Axel. His back was to me, shoulders tight with tension, and he was staring at the screen like it had personally offended him. His hand gripped the remote hard enough that his knuckles had gone white, clicking through pages with sharp, jerky movements.And if that remote could speak, I was pretty sure it would be crying out in a tiny, little voice.‘Please, someone help me. Save me from this man who is crushing the soul out of me.’It would sound so sweet and pitiable that anyone who heard it would immediately go, ‘Oh, you poor baby.’I blinked.What the hell was I thinking about right now?And what was I still doing standing here when I was clearly not needed anymore?Well technically, I hadn’t been needed in the first place, had just barged in uninvited, interrupted his meeting, accidentally exposed a massive embezzlement scheme, and now I was standing in the middl

Chapter: Chapter Eighty Five: Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Point Six Million~Amber’s POV~ A pin could have dropped in the silence that filled the room and everyone would have heard it.Actually, one of the pins holding my hair up did fall to the ground but before I had a chance to prove the theory that my brain had just come up with, Monroe broke the silence with his words coming out in a rush.“Stealing from you? Why would I do that? Mr. Edgewood, I’ve been loyal to this company for…”“Three years.” Axel’s voice cut through, cold and sharp.I had picked up the scent in the hour that I had been in here so I knew that every person in this room was human.Well except for Axel and I.If they weren’t, they would have felt the deadly aura that was pouring off Axel as he took a step toward Monroe, would have recognized the danger, would have known to run.But they just sat there, oblivious, watching the scene unfold like it was a corporate drama instead of something far more dangerous.“I pay you two point four million dollars a year, Monroe.” Axel’s voice was qui

Chapter: Chapter Eighty Four: Page Thirty-Six~Axel’s POV~ It was hard to remember a time when I wasn’t rich.Not because I had been born into wealth. I hadn’t.I mean the Edgewood’s were not poor but most of the generated income over centuries went into running the pack so from the moment I understood what money was, what it could do, what it meant to have it or not have it, I had made it my singular focus.So I strived to get it.Built everything I had from the ground up, brick by brick, deal by deal, acquisition by acquisition until being a billionaire was just something I was.It wasn’t something I really put much thought to anymore.Neither did I care for the title.In fact, the first time it had genuinely satisfied me was when Amber Moon found out how rich I was—that flash of shock in her eyes. So it wasn’t a surprise that the second time would be now, staring at the expression on her face, watching her mouth open and close like she was trying to process what Monroe had just said.Eight hundred and fifty million dollars

Chapter: Chapter Forty SevenDread 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. It was unexpected; her words of missing him, the sudden embrace, all of it felt unreal to him, especially given the strained circumstances between them.When they finally disconnected from the hug, R

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 FiveCrystal 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 FourChloe 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 ThreeThe 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 TwoLogan'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
