Fated to my One Night Stand Chapter One Hundred and Thirteen: Get It Over With
~Axel’s POV~I was not one for this and I did not think I would ever need to be, but seriously I was on the verge of gesturing with my whole body and saying from “where to where now?”But I did not do that.Instead I took him in with more focus than before and decided that I was done with that line of conversation entirely. So I pushed my aura out, letting him feel exactly what I was communicating without needing a single word, and I watched the unease flicker in his eyes again.This time it stayed.“Enough time has been wasted on irrelevant things.” I let my voice settle into something that left no room for whatever he had been doing for the last several minutes. “Like I said before. Sit down.”The smile had completely left his face. He sat down in the chair across from me and I got straight into it.“Thankfully, you being a know it all does have one advantage. Because yes, I asked for you to be found and brought here because I want something. And you owe me your life.” I held his ga
Fated to my One Night Stand Chapter One Hundred and Twelve: Timothy Was Annoyingly Hard to Intimidate
~Axel’s POV~I could not stop pacing.Back and forth across the length of my office, the same stretch of floor, the same number of steps, the same dead end where I had to turn around and do it all over again because my brain would not stop running and my body needed to match it.What had happened?When had I done it?Why could I not remember doing it?I replayed everything. The corridor. My mother. The suitcase. Walking away. The car. The accident. The crows. Cassandra. The child. Then standing right back where I started with blood on my hands and no memory of the space in between.I replayed it again and again and again. But I ended up with nothing over and over because every time I reached for the gap, the place where the answer should be, I came up completely blank. Like reaching into a drawer I knew had something in it and finding it empty every single time.I ran a hand through my hair in frustration and pulled at it harder than I needed to when a knock broke through it.I stop

~Amber’s POV~“So that is it then?” His voice came from behind me. “That is your solution? You are going to throw a tantrum?”I was already walking past him but my head whipped back in his direction and in an instant everything gave way to anger. But I pushed it out through a veil of calmness that took more effort than anything I had done all day.“I am not throwing a tantrum. I am giving you and everyone else what you want.”“And is that what you want, Amber?”“What I want is for you to leave me alone.” I kept my voice level even though nothing inside me was level. “I have been through a lot and it is not even ten o’clock yet. So with due respect, King Roland,” I let the title land with its full weight, “excuse me. I would like to rest.”“So that you can have the energy to go out there and stir up another issue.” His voice had gone quieter when he spoke again and somehow that was worse than the shouting. I glared at him. “I already abdicated. What more do you want from me?”“What I
Fated to my One Night Stand Chapter One Hundred and Ten: I Abdicate
~Amber’s POV~It was either of two things. He let me beat him, or he was just endlessly tired from the energy he had expended in beating his father to a pulp.Either way, I was more than satisfied.I could not help the smile on my face as I stood in front of the bathroom mirror, checking every inch of skin for any spot that had not healed, the image of my claws digging into Axel over and over playing out in my head on a very gratifying loop.Everything had healed. Not a scratch left.I was about to turn away from the mirror and head back into my room so I could start figuring out how to make the Council see that I was fit to rule because there was no way in hell I was asking that parent-almost-murderer for help now, when the bathroom door burst open.“You attacked Axel?”My head whipped in my father’s direction and the smile remained because my first instinct was that he would be proud.It wiped straight off.Because he looked livid. Not disappointed. Not concerned. Livid. The kind o

~Amber’s POV~“Take a mic, Amber. Tell us what happened after the day of your mating ceremony.”“Alright.” I said, collecting the metaphorical mic. “But for it to have the full effect I would have to start from the night before, where my mate, in quote, told me that we should fuck and get on with it even though in a year we would go our separate ways. Because did I mention that all of this was a contract?”I paused for dramatic effect.“And then the next morning I had been ambushed out of bed by his personal assistant, because of course he was a billionaire, who was named Rosella but let me tell you there was nothing rosy about her. I then proceeded to learn afterward that I might lose my birthright and the only way to stop it was for that said mate to help me. So I had gone to find him, only to discover that he hated his mother so much that he had put his claws through her neck and she might die. And then the final cherry on top, his father, who was an even bigger asshole than my mat
Fated to my One Night Stand Chapter One Hundred and Eight: Craziness... That Was The Only Explanation
~Axel’s POV~“It has barely been fifteen minutes, Axel, and I cannot find her if you keep summoning me—”Zane’s words cut short somewhere behind me but I could not turn to look at him because I could not focus on anything except my hands.They were shaking under the water, trembling in a way I had never seen them do, and I watched the blood run off my skin in thin red streams that swirled into the basin and disappeared. But it would not take away the image of her in my head. Her hands pressed against her own neck. The gasping. The blood pulsing through her fingers.And the question that kept slamming into me over and over and over which Zane took it right out of my head. “What the hell happened?”I shook my head. Trying to shake off the image. Trying to force it out the way I forced out everything else that was too much to carry. But it would not go and my hands were still covered and the water was not working fast enough so I started scrubbing.Hard.Harder than skin needed. My nai

~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
Fated to my One Night Stand 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 h

~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 w

~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
