Amber’s POV

By the time I returned to the bedroom, I was exhausted. Mentally and emotionally.

My emotions crashed over me like a tidal wave. I was feeling everything in ways I hadn’t felt before, and why was I feeling so bad about Alpha Dale with another woman? I blamed it on the mate bond.

“Stupid!” I exclaimed, smacking myself in the face as if that was going to help me come to my senses. “Stupid, stupid, stupid.”He did not want me; it was obvious, yet why did I still feel so betrayed?

I shouldn’t be expecting anything from him, yet I still did. He was the fucking Lycan King, and I was what? A wolf-less werewolf? A burden. Someone whom he pitied. I should leave, but this place was likely the only place to give me the answers I was searching for. Who the hell was I?

A knock on the door silenced my thoughts, pulling me back to reality. “Dinner is served, Miss Amber. Janine wanted me to inform you.” A voice said from outside the door.

I breathed a sigh. More like heartbreak

    Dale’s POV When Amber said she felt better now compared to when she first came here, she was not lying. She looked better—healthier, stronger, more alive. Her cheeks were filled out, and her color was much brighter compared to the pale and haunted girl I had brought here months ago. Seeing her now, wide-eyed, glancing at Janine from across the seat, I could hardly reconcile her with the scared, jumpy girl with low self-esteem who was starved to the point where all that was left was skin and bones. Amber was no longer that girl, and my desire to keep her safe and out of harm’s way had caused me to ignore that. Ignore her growth. When I glanced at Amber again, her eyes were on me, and in them I saw all the questions she wanted to ask me. ‘Why did I release Yeti?’‘Was I thinking about giving her proposal a chance?’My wolf shot up at that thought. She wasn’t the only one eager to know what the response to that question was going to be. “Amber, my office when you are done wit

    Amber’s POV I pushed the lobby door open, glancing back to see if Yeti was still following behind me. She was, her eyes darted around as if she was expecting someone to jump out of the shadows and attack her. I did not blame her, though; after what happened at Moonstone pack, that fear was a valid one. The lobby was empty at this time of the day. There were no omegas prancing around in corners going about their duties. There was no one coming in or leaving the mansion, save for the guards that were positioned stiffly at the entrances. There was no one. I glanced at Lyon, one of the men who were to be our new guards, and nodded. He nodded back and looked away, gesturing to the other two men to follow. Once they were out of the room, I turned to Yeti. “Alright. Do you want to tell me why you’re being nice to me? Ever since Moonstone, you saved my life, and now… what? ”Yeti glanced around the room. “I… I guess I was trying to make up for how I treated you back at Moonstone. ”

    Amber’s POV I have no family? What did she mean by that? She couldn’t be taunting me. The finality and confidence in her voice said enough. So, how did Yeti know I had no family? And why was she so confident about it? How could she be so sure the man in that gallows was not my uncle or relative? I glanced at her, ready to throw all my questions at her when a guard stepped in front of us. “Alpha Dale has been expecting you.” He said stiffly. “If you will come with me.”Yeti followed first. I scowled but followed a few steps behind, keeping a little distance between us. I had come in here before, maybe more than once. But it was the first time I noticed the damp smell of moist earth and rust. The chilly air settles over my body like a second skin, chilling me to the bones. The guard stopped suddenly, putting out his hand to stop me.“I’m sorry, but you can’t go further; Alpha Dale only wants to see Yeti. ”I opened my mouth to protest, but both the guard and Yeti were gone bef

  • Bride Of The Lycan King   Ghosts of the Past

    Amber’s POV Alpha Dale was looking at me expectantly. After the whole interrogation, he had dismissed Yeti, demanding she return to her room—she now had a room in the mansion—and brought me to ours, maybe to be sure I heard the things he wanted me to hear. Did he know how awful I felt knowing that I had let my guard down? I had been foolish enough to believe the words of a stranger, and what I hated to think about the most was that even he was a stranger. All of them were strangers. What if they were all lying to me? Feeding me, caring for me, and helping me was all an elaborate lie I was being made to believe before they showed their true colors. Fattening up the cows before slaughter. I was the cow. I just didn’t know it. “What are you thinking about?” Alpha Dale, asked, startling me out of my thoughts. “You look like you’re about to bleed out of your face. I guess you heard the prisoner then? I’m sorry. ”He wasn’t sorry. Not in the least. If he could run it in, he wou

  • Bride Of The Lycan King   My Mistake

    Dale’s POV She was bleeding.The smile that had been on her face morphed into a frown that marred her delicate features. Her head lowered to her torso. From the look on her face, I could tell she couldn’t fully understand what was going on. Her breathing hitched, and her heart was beginning to race. Her fingers trembled as they touched her blood-soaked shirt, and she raised her hand to her face, staring at the crimson liquid that stained her fingertips as though it was the most fascinating thing she ever saw. “I’m… bleeding.” She gasped. Wide eyes looked up at me a second before her pupils rolled back and her body sagged forward. “Amber!” I jumped, catching her limp body before it collapsed completely. Panic surged through me, gripping me as tight as I gripped her. “Stay with me, Amber. Stay with me! ”They screamed, asking her body at the same time. Nothing. “Trent! I need you in my room now!” I shouted through the mind link. Thankfully, Trent replied immediately. “Dale? Wh

    Dale’s POV I could not rest easy knowing that Amber was probably fighting for her life. Worse yet, she might be losing. Trent had done as I had asked, and now I could see Gregg in the interrogation room, sitting on his tail and probably wondering if it was his execution. I glanced at Yeti, who was fidgeting behind me. “Are you ready? ”Her frightened eyes lowered to the ground, but her head bobbed affirmative. “Yes.” She mouthed, wrapping her arms around herself. For a minute, she reminded me of Amber those first few weeks after her arrival. Their first smelt almost the same. Pushing the thought away, I pulled the door to the interrogation room and stepped in. Gregg’s eyes flickered towards me, darting from me to Yeti, then back to his hands on the table. Trent turned towards the entrance as well, eyeing Yeti before nodding in my direction. “I tried to ask him if there’s a way he can reach Derrick. I mean, since he’s on assignment here, there’s a possibility they agreed to meet so

    Dale’s POV “What the hell will she be doing in a human city?” Trent spouted, his eyes darting from me to Gregg. “Are you sure about this?” Gregg nodded. “Quite. She’s in a human city alright; you can find out what she’s doing once you find her. ”He was looking at me while he spoke. “Right.” I answered. “Prepare a car, some of the men, and two of our best trackers. We leave right away. Also, provide Gregg with whatever he may need. I need to check on Amber before we leave. ”Without waiting for Trent’s voice of reason, which I was sure I was going to hear one way or the other, I dashed away from the clearing, taking my steps two at a time till I was in front of the mansion, then inside it. ‘I still feel the bond.’ My wolf said, speaking up for the first time in a while. I exhaled sharply, relieved to hear his voice. ‘Don’t panic.’I closed my eyes shut, trying to slow down my breathing and take control of my emotions, which were a mess. When I opened my eyes again, m

  • Bride Of The Lycan King   A Beast

    Amber’s POV Darkness. Not the peaceful kind that soothes you into slumber, nor the gentle quiet that welcomed your body to rest. This darkness was something else—thick, painful, suffocating, and pressing in on me from all sides. The pain tugged me out of unconsciousness, pulling me back into my body with a dull, throbbing awareness. My limbs felt heavy, my skin felt raw, and there was an uncomfortable weight in my chest that seemed both familiar and foreign. I groaned, shifting slightly as though that would help unload the weight, but instead I felt a sharp sting in my side that made me wince. My body protested any movement, reminding me exactly why I felt as though I had been run over by a train. Maybe because I had been. Well, not literally—but if I counted everything that had happened, it was close to that. My body wasn’t healing as fast as it should, and Alpha Dale…Alpha Dale. My eyes flew open. The room was dim, warm, and oddly familiar—but my heart raced as my thoughts

    Dale’s POV Although we only spent a few hours apart from each other, I was already missing my mate. When Izzy called to say that they were on their way back with Amber, I went down to the dinning hall to shop through the kitchen there, grabbing whatever supplies I could to prepare lunch for Amber. I already knew that my mate was easy to please when it came to meals though, thank the goddess, but I still put extra care in preparing the food for her. A loaded sandwich with trimmings had her beaming at me as I kicked the bedroom door shut behind me. I was making plans to move us to a more permanent bedroom since our sacred space had been tainted and desecrated by Mallory. Thinking about her now made me want to dig out her corpse and kill her again, just for the sake of it. I sighed as I saw Amber looking fucking adorable sitting in the middle of the giant bed in one of my old jerseys and sweatpants. I swallowed. Goddess, she was everything I wanted and needed. “Oh, I love bacon a

    Amber’s POV Even after we return to Free City and stop in front of Alpha Dale’s pack house, I still couldn’t shake the feeling of being watched. Alpha Dale helped me out of the car, wrapping his arms around me to help with the travel sickness and once he felt I was getting better, he moved away from me. I glanced around the garage where we were packed hoping I could spot something out of place, but the only thing I saw was Beta Trent, staring directly at me. The way he was looking at me made me want to climb out of my skin and run far away. Although, just a few weeks ago, we had been working together and even after that, he had quietly acknowledged me, being around him still gave me the jee-bees. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that deep inside me, I knew he agreed with the Council that I wasn’t good enough for the Lycan King. A girl like me with no background, even if my wolf was the strongest and rarest. I swallowed roughly and just stared back at him like an idiot

  • Bride Of The Lycan King   The Ambush

    Amber’s POV With my ability, I could somehow tell that there was just two people in the house. If there was someone else. Alpha Dale and Silas would sniff them out. The lake house was luxurious and it was very clear that Alpha Dale’s family weren’t just rich, they had a sort of wealth that encompassed the entire werewolf community. Everything was perfectly designed, and even though there wasn’t anything particularly flashy or extravagant, it still oozed money. Beta Trent moved through the house with a type of precision that only came from knowing the layout intimately. It made me wonder how often they spent time in any other properties. It couldn’t be that often since for the one year I was with them, we never went anywhere. In under a minute, we were staring Donn and Celia down in one of the many parlor rooms on the first floor. It hadn’t been that long since I last saw Donn, but he was unrecognizable now. His skin looked tight over his bones and he lost so much weight that he

  • Bride Of The Lycan King   A Lead

    Amber’s POV I was tired and sleepy as hell. While Alpha Dale had been busy walking from one councilmember to the other and interrogating Yeti’s mother, I had been busy with tracing who the actual spy was so we could finally clear Yeti’s name. If the charge weren’t dropped. We had worked till the early hours of the morning and just when I had begun dozing off, the computer geek guy announced that there was a lead! And he didn’t just pinpoint where we could find our spy, but where Derrick and Donn could be as well. It was a vacation lake house just outside of Free city. One of Alpha Dale’s properties which he didn’t use often. We left for the Lake house the next morning and I only got an hour of sleep. Our computer guy had enough intel to find the whereabouts of the security cameras and surveillance around the house Donn, Derrick and our spy was holed up in, so we already knew how far we had to travel to remain undetected. There was a long hike ahead of us, but with a deep brea

    Dale’s POV Once I knew for sure that Amber was safely in Janine’s office, I let my beta know that I was heading out for the day. I wasn’t one to check-in and report where I was going to be but, thanks to the current circumstances, we were all at high alert. The fact that a witch had been able to infiltrate our minds, helping our enemy get what they want with us what something I was very much ashamed of. Finding my uncle and Derrick was not just a necessity now, it was what had to be done to prove to my subjects that I wasn’t weak and I could protect them. And now with the council hounding Yeti. It wasn’t just disrespecting me. it was a threat to my title and one that I wasn’t going to let go that easily. “Do you think going to see Graves is really a good idea?” Silas said, keeping his eyes glued to the phone in his hand as he questioned me as if he was nonchalant about the answer. But I knew that was far from the truth. As chief security officer, he shouldered plenty of responsi

  • Bride Of The Lycan King   Tension

    Amber’s POV Yeti was the person who kept me going when everyone hated me even in Moonstone pack. I realized that a long time ago even though I hadn’t known her identity then. Although she had been going through a lot herself, she still tried to help me with medical supplies not caring about what would happen to her if she had been caught. If I lost her, I won’t be okay. The panicked flutter in my chest started up again, stealing my breath. It only took a minute for everything to fall apart and the little bit of peace I found gone with one swipe from the council. They were always the problem. Yeti was my goddamn best friend, and if she’d been a spy this whole time, I would have known. Besides, no spy would give their life to save the person they were spying on. All I wanted was hot shower and a bed to hide in for the rest of the day after the way I dealt with that councilman. After I put my powers under control – the best I could – we fell into an uncomfortable silence, but it’s

  • Bride Of The Lycan King   Yeti

    Amber’s POV My chest was on fire. My lungs screamed for air and my heart thumped inside my ribcage at a frenzied pace, but I couldn’t force myself to be calm as I stared across the room at Janine. I couldn’t bring myself to look Yeti in the eye, not with the sight of her being slammed and strangled by Derrick still fresh in my head. Janine’s eyes bored into mine, her own anger at Donn’s betrayal simmering just below the surface. I didn’t think things could escalate so freaking quickly. One minute I was happy my friend was out of danger and was no longer under the threat of losing her wolf and in the other, I was finding out her fated mate was one of the men who could have killed us had the order been given some nights ago. “It’s true…” Janine said, ducking her head to concentrate on the scrapes and bruises she was healing over Yeti’s skin. “Fabian is her Fated mate. I saw his wolf choose her during the Culling,” Although Fabian was highly trained with more skills than me, Yeti

    Amber’s POV I woke up as early as 3:30am the next morning to take another shower and get ready for the day. I had a lot to do and one of them was seeing Yeti and finding a way to clear her name even if the issue hadn’t been raised yet. I didn’t want it to be raised at all. I was done dressing by the time Alpha Dale’s alarm sounded at four. He groaned like he was being murdered, shoved a pillow over his head and grumbled under his breath like he was plotting a murder for whoever it was that woke him up early. He reached out with one arm to find me once he was done grumbling and when he came up empty, he threw the pillow over his head away, sitting up with a scowl. I tried not to laugh because he looked like a child missing his mother. I smirked and waved at him because it was good seeing him off-kilter for once and not the usual composed and straight man that he was. “Stop that,” he growled. “Stop looking smug and get over here. Trent will be here any minute and I need another

  • Bride Of The Lycan King   Normalcy

    Amber’s POV When I woke up, it was long after dark. Alpha Dale was right beside me and instead of distracting himself by getting busy with something, he was watching me sleep. Seeing him beside me, looking at me like I meant everything in the world to him was deliciously tempting. I sat up slowly. There was a nervous energy surrounding me now that I knew I was going to be a mother. I wasn’t worried about my wolf anymore; she had proven herself many times in the last few weeks that I was sure it was time to spare her the benefit of doubt. “You’re awake,” Alpha Dale said drowsily. Leaning forward, he placed a kiss on my lips. “You looked really peaceful, I didn’t have the mind to wake you up.” I smiled, thanking him silently for allowing me sleep. My body needed all the sleep it could get. Glancing around, I saw that I was still in Janine’s office where I had fallen asleep earlier and suddenly recalled why I was here. Yeti. “How is she?” I asked. “But first, how did the council m
