Amber

Four years and a couple of months later...

I stare at my own reflection in the mirror, nervous because this marks my last day of being a free woman. Alex will turn eighteen in a week, and I’m heading there before that happens to get to know him again. I’m nervous, excited, and also plain terrified of what might happen.

A car is coming to pick me up in an hour, and then I’m leaving the Snowflake pack forever. The Lycanrock pack will turn into my new family, and the thought of that is unsettling. 

I’m a werewolf and an Omega at that—if I felt weak and small in my own pack, just imagine how it will be to be surrounded by literal giants. Lycans are taller than what is normal and packed with muscles. It’s going to be nerve-wracking to become their Luna. What if they will laugh at having a werewolf for their Luna? It’s the second most important role in the pack hierarchy. 

Sighing, I glance down at the picture I took four, almost five years ago, with Alex. It’s of us smiling at the camera while eating cake inside his kitchen. I wonder how he has been? Has he done any more gardening? 

To be honest, Alex and I haven’t really talked much lately. In the beginning, we exchanged plenty of letters, but then he stopped replying to them, and he never accepted my invitation to become friends on social media. Is it because he dislikes me? Maybe he regrets accepting to marry me, a woman who is five years older than him?

Suddenly the door opens to my room, and my little sister, Libby, strolls inside with an apple in her hand. “Sup! You ready to marry that cute Lycan guy?” 

A shy smile spreads over my lips. I might have called Alex cute once or twice in front of my sister. He left an impression on me after our first meeting, and I liked the fact he wasn’t as huge and hulking as his older brothers. Alex was much cuter than them, and that’s why I’m not worried about seeing him again. There might not be any love between us, but at least I don’t have to fear my own husband. 

“I hope so,” my eyes travel back to the mirror. “I’ve worked on my makeup for like an hour now. Do you think Alex is going to find me pretty?”

Libby walks up behind me, placing her hands on my shoulders while meeting my smile in the mirror. “You look gorgeous,” she says, flipping my white hair with her fingers. “Alex would have to be blind not to find you stunning.”

I blush. “Thank you.”

She grips my shoulder, beaming at me. “You got this, and your Lycan husband is going to be so lucky to have you.”

“I hope so.”

An hour later, the car arrives to pick me up, and I try not to roll my eyes when my mom starts crying. My dad hugs her, stroking her back to console her. 

“Calm down. It’s not like she is leaving us forever. Amber is just one phone call away,” my dad says, but I can see this is getting to him too. His bottom lip is trembling, something that only happens when he is fighting his tears.

I try to keep my own emotions in check for their sake, but my stomach is churning with anxiety. It’s not just about leaving my family and pack behind, but also the fact that I’m entering into a completely new world. A world where I have no one to rely on except for my new husband, Alex. I hope he is ready to take on that responsibility.

“I will miss you guys,” I say, hugging my mom and dad before turning toward Libby. “Take care of them for me.”

“I will,” she says with a smile that doesn’t quite reach her eyes. It’s unusual for my sister to cry, but she is barely keeping it together. 

I sigh. “You want a hug?”

“Yes, please.”

Libby squeezes me, and then we let go, meeting each other’s eyes before I turn toward the car. The driver has already stepped out and is smiling at me. “You ready to go, Luna Amber?”

My parents and sister gasps as if they are shocked to hear someone refer to me as a Luna. I can’t lie; I’m baffled too. 

I still haven’t grasped the fact I’m about to become the Luna of the Lycanrock pack, and I fight a laugh when I notice that even my smaller siblings, that were playing in the sandbox just a moment ago are gawking at me with renewed interest. 

Everyone is looking at me like I’m a goddess, and the driver stifles a laugh and ducks away to hide any trace of it. There is, however, a knowing glint in his eye, and I decide that I like him—he definitely called me Luna to get a reaction out of my family, and he succeeded. There is respect written on their faces now, and I hold my head up a little bit higher.

“You guys take care, okay?”

I get into the car, and the driver closes the door behind me. As we drive away, I realize my heart is pounding with anticipation. It’s not every day that a werewolf girl gets to marry into a Lycan pack, let alone become their Luna. 

I pull out my phone and start scrolling through my social media, hoping to take my mind off things. That’s when I notice the notification from Zeke, Alex’s brother. 

My heart flutters as I click on it, hoping for good news.

Zeke: Hey Amber, it’s been a while! How have you been? Anyway, I’m just texting you to tell you things have changed. The Lycanrock pack has grown under my little brother’s care, and I can proudly announce that he is about to become the Lycan King. It means Alex is the most powerful Lycan in existence. I thought I should let you know that, and I also want to point out that you can still change your mind about which brother to marry. I wouldn’t mind taking over as the Alpha again. Haha. Just kidding. Love, your big brother Zeke. 

I stare at the message, blinking in disbelief. The thought of marrying Zeke has never crossed my mind. I found him too intimidating when I met him—too much of an Alpha male for me. Besides, I had a soft spot for Alex from the moment I saw him, even though I didn’t know him that well. But now that Alex is the most powerful Lycan in existence, I’m a little bit frightened. Not going to lie. 

Though, I bet Alex can’t have changed that much personality-wise, right? He was really sweet when I met him almost five years ago, and he probably used his charisma to get where he is today. I have nothing to worry about.

I type a quick response to Zeke. 

Me: Thanks for letting me know, but I’m perfectly happy with my choice. I’m excited to marry Alex and become the Luna of the Lycanrock pack.

The driver glances at me, “Everything alright, Luna Amber?”

I look up from my phone and nod, “Yeah, everything is fine. Just a message from a friend.”

He nods and goes back to focusing on the road. I turn back to my phone and continue scrolling through social media, trying to distract myself from my nerves.

As we get closer to the Lycanrock pack territory, my heart pounds even faster. I can feel the power radiating from this place, and it sends shivers down my spine. This is going to be my new home, and I am filled with both excitement and fear at what lies ahead.

Will Alex accept me with open arms? What does he even look like nowadays? Still feminine and beautiful? I sure hope so. I loved how long his eyelashes were in the past.

  • Arranged To The Lycan King   Chapter 30

    AshleeMy life’s been a joke for a week. I’m the Alpha of my pack and shouldn’t be stuck in a damn prison cell, but here I am, captured by Alpha Alex and my former pack mate, Amber. She used to be our little Omega, but she smells different now. Stronger. Maybe she is forming a pack of her own?Either way, I must find a way to get out of this dungeon. Every minute spent here is a waste of time—who knows what Emma is up to? She could be hurting my pack members, just like she fractured my mind with her magic.Suddenly, I hear footsteps. It’s the ones belonging to Edison, the giant drider that happens to be my mate. I pull my legs to my body and wrap my arms around them. He might be my mate, but I think he is scarier than the others.“Are you hungry?”I remain silent, avoiding eye contact with Edison. Despite his tall and attractive human form, I know it is just a facade to hide the truth: he is a human-eating monster. I’m not sure what’s more frightening: the fact that his eyes are pitch

  • Arranged To The Lycan King   Chapter 29

    EdisonI am utterly perplexed. Amber is my master and, as her familiar, I would do anything to protect her. Our bond is unbreakable because of our contract and because I genuinely care for her as a friend.But now things have changed. The little human lying on the couch is my mate, and even though she tried to kill Amber before she fell unconscious, my heart still pounds for her.Alpha Emma.When she makes a noise in her sleep, I force myself to look away. Every instinct is telling me to pick her up and hold her in my arms. Even if she is an Alpha werewolf, she seems so vulnerable and small in my eyes. It makes me want to protect her…even if she hardly deserves that. Fuck. What is the matter with me? She is supposed to be the enemy!“Uhh…” Ashlee sits up on the couch but pauses when she notices her handcuffs. It’s special ones that will prevent her from shape-shifting. Eris put them on her, and they are apparently magic-infused. “Where am I?”“This is Alpha Alex’s mansion.”I wait for

  • Arranged To The Lycan King   Chapter 28

    AmberAshlee’s eyes flash silver for a moment, and I see her struggle, her head whipping back and forth. But then, the mania returns, and she lunges for my throat again. I buck and wriggle beneath her, but she’s too heavy.Suddenly, a loud growl reverberates through the forest. It’s Alex - or maybe Eris? Does it belong to a Lycan or a dragon? In this commotion, it’s hard to tell. The figure charges towards us, shifting mid-air into a massive...dridder?My eyes widen with realization - this is Edison coming to save me, not Alex, or Eris. I almost laugh at that. To think my familiar is more knowing of when I’m in danger is laughable.“What are you doing to Amber?!” Edison shouts before his massive hand swoops down, grabbing Ashlee and holding her in front of his glowing, spider eyes. “Just who the hell do you think you are attacking my master like that?”I shift back into a human, staring up at Edison, who is holding Ashlee as if she is nothing more than a toy.“Edison,” I say, gaining

  • Arranged To The Lycan King   Chapter 27

    AmberSuddenly, the world tilts back into focus. Eris is still kneeling before me, his mouth glistening with my arousal and a self-satisfied smirk on his face. I’m still trembling, my legs weak from the intense orgasm that has just ripped through me.Eris rises slowly, his gaze never leaving mine as he pulls up my clothes to cover me again. His hands are still trembling slightly as he helps me get dressed. It’s a strange contrast to his earlier aggression, and I find it equally attractive.“Why did you stop?” The words tumble out of my mouth before I can stop them.Eris seems startled by my question but recovers quickly. “I didn’t want to mark you against your will,” he says, his voice as rough as sandpaper. “When I make you mine, completely and utterly mine, it’s going to be after you begged me to. It’s also going to be in a bed where I can worship your body properly.”My heart skips a beat at his words. Eris leans in close, so close I can feel the warmth radiating off him. His scent

  • Arranged To The Lycan King   Chapter 26

    Amber“You slept with Alex, didn’t you?” Eris’ voice is like a gunshot, his expression twisted into something between disbelief and betrayal.I can’t look at him as I nod slowly. “I did.” It’s the worst thing I’ve ever done to him. I had sex with Alex right under his nose, knowing how much it hurts him. We are mates, but...I was with Alex first. “It seems I can’t stay away from him.” I add, for what reason, I don’t know.Eris locks his eyes on mine, hissing. It’s such a dangerous expression I fear he will hurt me. Instead, he approaches me and pushes me up against one of the trees. I’m shocked. It seems there is a darker side to Eris and I find myself liking it. Heat spreads between my legs, something my dragon mate doesn’t miss.“Wait,” Eris pauses, his eyes darkening. “Do you like that I’m angry with you?”I don’t answer him. I just bite my lower lip and Eris smirks, suddenly slamming his hand around my throat, choking me softly but forcefully enough to know he is in charge.“You be

  • Arranged To The Lycan King   Chapter 25

    Amber I shift uncomfortably in the backseat of the car, my heart pounding with guilt and anxiety. We are on our way home from the pumpkin farm, and I can’t bring myself to look at Eris. Not after I had sex with Alex. I feel like a total slut since I can’t keep my paws away from that man, but at the same time, can anyone blame me? I’ve had a thing with Alex. Like, I don’t know what we are to each other right now, but what I do know is that I want him. Eris hasn’t done anything wrong, but that doesn’t matter. Just because he is a good person doesn’t mean I automatically want him. My heart is set on Alex. ...how do I tell Eris that? And am I one hundred percent sure that I want Alex? Right as I ask myself that question, my mind is consumed by memories of the heated encounter I just had with Alex in the clearing, our passion consuming us despite the fact that I’m bound to Eris by destiny. “Hey, Edison, have you ever tried carving pumpkins with power tools?” Alex asks conversationally
