Alpha Dale’s POV First of all, I was damn tired. I needed a cold shower, my mate on my bed and a good sleep, but somehow, I was stuck in a meeting with Council member Roderick and Alpha Marcus who I couldn’t tolerate any longer. Now that I knew for a fact that his loyalty wasn’t with me it was as if the veil that had ben draped over me was lifted and I could suddenly see, hear and feel all of his lies. Every single word that came out of that man’s mouth was a freaking lie and it hurt so bad. If my wolf wasn’t constantly healing me, I’d be bleeding from the ears and probably foaming from the mouth Yes, it was that bad. “According to the complaints laid on you by this esteemed Lycan King, you have been charged with insubordination and intentionally hiding relevant and important information.” Council member Roderick said, enunciating ever word like it was a death sentence. He slid a document across the table towards Alpha Marcus. “In the document, he reported that you failed to su
Amber’s POV I woke up with a headache the next morning. I didn’t sleep well through out the night and spent more than half of it waiting for Alpha Dale to return and put an ends to my worries but he never did until I slept off. Izzy and Fabian looked like they didn’t get any sleep at all. Not that they were dark circles around their eyes or anything to suggest that, but they had been up when I went to sleep and they still were when I woke up. Even Noah and Janine were awake. “Good morning, guys,” I greeted sleepily. “Did Alpha Dale come while I was asleep?” “Good morning to you too,” Janine murmured. “My night went well, thanks for asking.” She kept her eyes focused on Kevin who was still unconscious. I guess the wolfsbane wasn’t still out of his system? “No, Alpha Dale didn’t come.” Noah answered, rising to his feet to stretch out. “How was your night? You look like you didn’t have a wink of sleep.” I rubbed my face. “How would you know that? Don’t tell me you didn’t sleep a
Amber’s POV Janine and I must have dozed off on the couch. I wasn’t sure how long we were out, but we were both woken up by the muffled sound of voices behind the door which quickly escalated to a heated argument. I rubbed my eyes, stretching myself carefully because Janine’s head was still on my shoulder and I didn’t want to completely rouse her in case she wasn’t fully awake yet. Narrowing my eyes, I listened or tried to as the voices became clearer. Janine stirred on my shoulder before sitting up straight, stretching out her body as well. “What’s going on out there?” She mumbled, standing up to check on her patients. When she was satisfied with their progress, she turned towards the door and frowned. “… I said you can’t go in!” Fabian growled, startling us both. “He’s a member of my pack!” A voice I recognized quite well shot back. “You can’t stop me from seeing him.” Janine’s frown deepened and she glanced at me. “Isn’t that …” “Lydia,” I finished. “What does she want now
Amber’s POV Janine had turned her room into a makeshift infirmary and according to them, her bed was big enough to lay both men down. I guess she was a healer no matter where she was. “Don’t mind the sheets,” she said. I’m sure Moonstone have one of the best cleaning services.” Then she winked. I wondered if that was her taking a jab at my past but then, I couldn’t argue with her. I had done my work with all honesty. “Will you be my assistant today?” she asked as she began cutting the clothes of Noah. “I’m not at my infirmary so I can’t afford my usual staff and one person can’t do this work. I’ll need someone to monitor them while I focus on other things.” I nodded quickly. “What can I do?” I at least had an idea about first aid because I used to do it on myself all the time, so I guess that could help. “Besides, I don’t have anything doing.” Alpha Dale and the rest of the men hung back, watching as Janine worked with a cold look in their eyes that made my heart freeze. I trie
Amber’s POV The forest around us fell silent. It was as if I had killed off every life that existed in and outside our radius, but I didn’t care. Not at the moment. I watched as the bests fell, their gurgling noises cut short. The stench of their blood saturated the air but I didn’t care about that too. My feet carried me forward slowly until I broke into sprint. My eyes darted around where they had thrown him and when it locked unto his crumpled body, I gasped. He was soaked in blood which poured out of injuries everywhere. Noah! Oh goddess, that couldn’t be – ‘Noah?” I gasped, dropping to my knees beside him. My hands hovered helplessly over his unmoving form and tears formed in my eyes. His clothes was soaked through with blood that coated his skin, giving him an almost red hue. Was he breathing? My eyes scoured over him, but I couldn’t tell. His chest wasn’t moving! “Help him! Please!” I shouted, my voice breaking. “Please, someone… help him.” I didn’t even know Janine wa
Amber’s POV The urgency in Beta Trent’s voice left no room for arguments. As soon as he rushed out of the room, we followed after him as if we were all being pulled by a magnetic force. His eyes were wide and frantic but I noticed that when they fell on Janine, they softened. As if invited by some unknown force, Celia and Alpha Marcus appeared in front of us with a frown on their faces which morphed into concern. “I was just ordering the soldiers to look everywhere!” Alpha Marcus announced, his voice a pitch higher than normal. “They will leave no stone unturned in their search and all of will not rest until we find him.” Alpha Dale’s anger slammed into me like a storm. I didn’t need to see his eyes to know that he was glaring murderously at the pair. Before any of us could speak, he moved like the wind, suddenly appearing in front of Alpha Marcus. “Did I not ask for the report this morning?” He growled. “Why have I not gotten it?” Alpha Marcus blinked, his mouth opening and cl
