AMBER.“Do you still feel anything for me?” I asked again. He didn’t answer.“Just say you don’t love me anymore, and I will walk away. I won’t look back, and you’ll never hear from me again.” I had no idea where I got the courage to say these things. I knew I would regret this, but my heart was already tired, and I could only take another rejection before losing my sanity. I waited, but there was no response. I closed my eyes and stopped the tears from falling before my hand slowly turned the door knob. It clicked, but before I could slide it open, he finally spoke.“What if I’m no longer an Alpha, will you still want me?” His voice was low—too low. And it sounded so defeated, unlike the confident Zach I knew and the cold man he became after the accident. I let go of the door and turned around, facing him. “I want you, not your title. Did you really think I stayed because of your title?”He shook his head, and tears fell from his eyes before he dropped his gaze, and his shoulders
ZACH.In the few minutes that I witnessed Cyrus shout and drag Amber, something in me snapped.This was the female I had protected all my life. From the moment I was allowed to travel back and forth from my pack to theirs, I had made it my goal to be always around whenever she needed me.I also spent more than twenty hours driving, week in and week out, to drop her off at the university and pick her up while making sure I was still attending to my pack. I never once complained. Knowing her whereabouts and that she was safe was enough.Seeing her cry and being forced into something by another person shook me back to my senses. I could not deny that I kept hurting her for the last two years, but I was too blind to see that until I saw it with my own eyes. That image would forever haunt me, and the possibility of her going through the same thing without me knowing was something I couldn't take. I had no idea how I would get myself out of my own mess, and taking Amber down with me was
ZACH.I shouldn't take advantage. I still had many things I needed to figure out, but she was a temptation I couldn't resist. So, like a moth drawn to the flame, I kept pushing for more. My hands went up under her blouse, touching and caressing her back. And my little rose surely knew what she was doing to my body when she began grinding her hips, moving her core against my growing erection. My legs couldn't feel anything, but my cock surely did. "Amber..." I groaned, my hands gripping her hips, holding her in place so she wouldn't move away. Her hands on my shoulders moved, and she slowly pulled her off-shoulder top down, exposing her bra. Another groan ripped past my throat, but my hand had crawled to her back, unclasping her bra as if I had every right to do this. But she didn't stop me.Her breasts broke free from being restrained, and they were almost parallel to my face. The only logical thing I could think of was to put them in my mouth.And so I did.Amber moaned as my mout
AMBER.“Zach…” I moaned as my grip on his hair tightened. My knees were trembling, but I kept standing straight, holding on to his hair for support as he continued to lap and suck my pussy.The overwhelming sensation of his tongue and lips on my wetness was making all my limbs weak, but I couldn’t fall. I wanted this. I’d been dreaming of this since Zach awakened the sensuality within me. His admission that there was no other female he was attracted to in the last two years boosted my confidence. I still had my hold on him. This—and the way his strong tongue was moving in and out of me while his fingers spread my pussy open—made me feel alive—more alive than I’d ever been. “Oh, Goddess…” I whimpered, my toes curling and my lashes fluttering as I threw my head back.“Do you like this?” He asked in a hoarse voice.I whimpered and nodded. “Eyes on me, Little Rose. I want to see you…”My mouth parted as I slowly lowered my head to meet his gaze. His lips were still on my pussy, but his
AMBER.I just orgasmed, but the sight of him instantly fired me up again. I opened my legs wider, one hand anchored on the floor behind me, and I began rubbing my fingers against my clit. I was doing my best to keep staring at him. “Fuck, fuck!” He was growling, and I could see pre-cum on the slit of his cock. He is capable of cumming. I removed my hand from my pussy, and it made him growl. But I kept moving. I went on all fours and crawled to him, and without any warning, dove my mouth into his erection, my tongue licking the pre-cum oozing from it. I could feel his muscles clench and his breathing stop. “Amber!” He groaned, one hand grabbing a fistful of my hair.I pried his fingers from his dick. The moment he let go, I put it inside my mouth. He was big, and I was putting on a big show here, but I had no regrets. I wanted him in my mouth.I moaned as I sucked him hard, letting my tongue roll on him. Then I moved my head lower until the end of his cock touched the wall of my th
AMBER. “Did I satisfy you?” He asked in a gentle tone. I was still seated on his lap, straddling him as we hugged each other. “I’m sorry. I know this is not how you expected our first time.”“What are you saying sorry for?” I tilted my head up and found him looking at me. “That was more than what I expected. It was so much more beautiful…”His hand cupped my cheek before brushing his thumb against my skin. “I can do better next time.”“Me, too.” I smiled at him. “I know every time will be just as perfect as it should be.”“Thank you for waiting for me…” His eyes watered, and my words got stuck in my throat. I was just staring at him. His vulnerability caught me off guard again, and I didn’t know how to react to the sincerity of his words.“I can’t move to the bed. Will you be okay sleeping on the floor?” His words snapped me back to my senses.I nodded, smiling before hugging him again. “I can tell you to sleep on the bed, and you’ll be more comfortable there, but I want to sleep b
AMBER.“Once you’re ready to tell me, I’m just here.”“But I can tell you some things.” He raised his gaze and met my eyes again. I nodded.“Do you want to sit on my lap?” “Am I not pressing on your thighs?”“A bit, but I guess it’s better that I feel something than nothing.”“Maybe it’s not good…”“The bones on my thighs are fine. It’s my spine at the back that got hit.”I nodded.“So?” He tapped his thighs and smiled at me.“I would love to. And in case your cock wants some warmth, I’m a willing shelter.”“Amber!” A growl ripped from his throat, and it made me giggle while climbing back onto his lap. My emotions were all over the place. One moment I wanted to cry, and the next, I was giggling. But despite that, one thing was for sure: I had never been this happy. This was more than the happiness I felt when Zach confessed his feelings and kissed me for the first time. “Okay, okay. I’ll behave.”“You should, or we’ll end up fucking instead of catching up.”“Which is not a bad ide
AMBER.I had no idea how many kisses Zach had placed on the top of my head as we lay down on the blanket. He was lying on his back with his arm as my pillow while I was on my side, facing and hugging him. But I wasn’t complaining. I was, in fact, happily drowning in it. We talked about the last two years. I told him I went back to school. I went to university and took up Occupational Therapy as my course. “I’ve heard about it but never dared to ask anyone. Was it because of me that you took this course?” He asked. Before our accident, I had already planned not to continue my studies. I would focus on helping him with his pack once I became his Luna. But without him, I had no future to look forward to. I nodded in response before adding, “I was hoping you’d get to walk soon, but if not, I wanted to be prepared to help you adjust to your condition. But it seems you are already adjusting well.”His hand on my arm rubbed my skin gently. “Every day is still a challenge. Physically, I’m
AMBER. Zach was still asleep when I rose from the bed and left the bedroom. There were many things to prepare and do before that cunning snake appeared today. We were not able to sleep early. We talked. A lot.We poured out all our emotions—our disappointment and fears. Despite the uncertainties, I was more confident that Zach was mine. He was more determined not to let Anna or Estelle get between us. He told me he had never been attracted to anyone except me, so he knew that the chaos she brought would not affect his feelings for me, only his future. And I believed him because I felt the same way. There was no one I had ever been attracted to aside from him. For some people, the attraction wanes as they grow older, but for me, it only grows stronger. I loved Zach when we were younger, loved him at his peak when he was my strength and protector, and loved him still at his lowest and most vulnerable state. My love for him keeps growing more in every stage of his life—of our lives.
ZACH.In my rush to confront her and take Amber away from there, I didn’t consider that she might turn out to be my fated mate, but I was lucky that she wasn’t. Or this would be a bigger mess than it already was. Estelle left with a threat that she would come back. I was left baffled by the contract she showed me. I was sure I didn’t sign anything, but was it because, in my hurry to get out of that room, I signed it without noticing and thought it was part of the original contract?Did I fucking sign another blood contract without my knowing?A sudden movement snapped me back to the present. I found Amber bent over the bushes at the side of the steps, retching uncontrollably, but nothing was coming out. I slammed my coiled fist on the armrest of my chair. Moments like this were when I wished I could fucking walk. I could do nothing but watch her while Mindy rushed out of the packhouse and went to her.“Amber…” My voice came out so low as I rolled toward the edge, nearer. I pulled o
AMBER. ‘Are you fated mates?’ I asked Zach in our heads.‘No.’ He replied. I looked at her extended hand and shook my head as I stepped back. I knew I would stumble soon. It was taking too much of me to hold myself up, and then I felt hands grabbing my arms, supporting me. Arlo came, and he was standing behind me. He let go of me once I was able to gather myself.‘Don’t believe her. I never said I would claim her,’ Zach reached my head. It was all I needed to hear to bring my confidence back. I tilted my head up and scoffed at her. “This pack only has one Luna. And you’re standing in front of her.”“Really now? From what I can see, Zach is still not able to stand.” She spoke confidently. Too far from the meek female who needed me to help her with everything. Did she know who I was from the beginning? Was she lying the whole time? Was the friendship she showed me part of their show?“I’m only claiming Amber,” Zach said, and I smirked at her before I mirrored her stance, crossing m
AMBER.I showered in the locker room of the training building after my session. I could have easily showered at the packhouse, but I knew that if Zach saw me, he would never let me out of his sight. He had been asking, or should I say demanding, for my attention since lunch. Not that I didn’t want to spend time with him, but I had things to do that needed to be out of his earshot, or I would have to answer questions I didn’t have answers to yet.I was already in a hurry to meet him, but I was held up twice by some people who wanted to speak with me. Since I really wanted this pack, especially the females, to be comfortable around me, I entertained them.When I was finally able to get away, I rushed toward the packhouse, hoping Zach was still working, as I hated keeping him waiting.The streets were empty, but it was nothing extraordinary, as it was just a regular day. Usually, more vehicles would be on the road on Fridays, as people would get off work and go out to chill afterward.The
*FREE CHAPTER*ZACH.‘It’s already almost eight in the morning, Alpha. John called and said he couldn’t make it today because of an emergency.’ Arlo said. My eyes snapped fully open as my forehead creased. ‘Did he say if he could come to the next session?’‘Nothing about that. And he sounded in a hurry, so I let him go right away.’This was not good. It meant I had to wait a few more days before I got an answer from him. But what if he had no plans to return? What if he discovered that we had already caught him?‘Thanks. Is everything okay?’‘Yes, Alpha. You were supposed to call Alpha Jace at seven today, but I called him earlier and told him you were not to be disturbed.’ I could sense teasing in his voice.‘I didn’t say that.’‘I decided on that,’ he chuckled. ‘Is everything okay between you and the Luna?’I smiled at the title he used for Amber. ‘Yes, we’re good.’‘Do you want me to send someone with breakfast?’‘No. We’ll make do with what we have here.’ I replied. ‘How is Mindy?
ZACH.“Oh, Goddess! This is so good…” Amber whimpered seductively as she gripped my thighs tightly while bouncing on top of me. She was riding me in a reverse cowgirl style, her body bent slightly forward so that I had the arousing view of her round ass, as well as the full sight of my cock as it plunged in and out of her tight pussy. She was so wet that I could see her juices leaking out of her at every stroke. My upper body was half elevated, resting on the reclined bed of the cabin. Yes, we finally made it to the bed of this house. Although we didn’t have any plans to have sex, we couldn’t get our hands off each other. Especially me. Once I got my first taste of her, I couldn’t control my cravings for her anymore. Amber was an addiction that I didn’t want to stop. I removed my hand from her hips and smacked her already red ass, eliciting a gasp from her. She bent more forward and held my legs before grinding her hips against mine and clenching her pussy around my cock. Sweat form
AMBER.“I don’t know how to distinguish beautiful from not since I laid eyes on you. You are the most beautiful, Amber, and everyone else pales in comparison.” Zach said, and I was left speechless.I pouted my lips as my eyes welled up. I could totally understand what he was telling me, as that was exactly how I felt. Ever since I admitted to myself that I was in love with him, no one has come in comparison with him. “If you also want to ask if I am or was attracted to her, I’m not, and I wasn’t. But I will admit that when we were still both in a bad place, and I knew I was running out of time, I did entertain the idea of claiming her.”My jaw tightened as my heart clenched in pain, but I remained quiet, listening to him. “That was the reason Sidney came into the picture. I thought that if I hurt you back then, and if Sidney could push you away from me, by the time Estelle entered my life, you would have long forgotten about me.” He then cupped my jaw again, his thumb brushing my che
AMBER.“I should get going. Zach is still in the car, and I told him I was only here to convince you he didn’t want to claim Estelle.” Dad pressed a kiss on the top of my head as we walked toward the front door, our arms still around each other. “Don’t give him a hard time. I could tell he never wanted to.”“I know, Dad. That’s why I ran here instead of elsewhere. I want to speak with him first.”“This cabin is beautiful.”“He built this house for me,” I said proudly as we stood at the front door. I met his eyes while a broad smile was plastered on my face.“Did he?”I nodded, still smiling. “He said this was supposed to be his gift for me for our union, but the accident happened. But he kept it well maintained. I love it.”“He’s full of surprise, isn’t he?”I nodded, my eyes beaming with happiness.“I’m glad even with everything happening around you, Zach can still make you smile beautifully.”“He’s the only thing that keeps me going,” I told him until I realized my words. “I mean, of
AMBER.“What’s another way out?”“You, with your wolf out,” Dad said, and the color drained from my face as I stared at him with my mouth open.“We checked the copy of Zach’s blood contract, and this part was not included in his but was on Grant’s or the Council’s copy. Zach also signed it, but maybe he didn’t notice this extra page. We assumed Grant also forgot this page.”“I don’t understand how Alpha Grant forgot this page.”“We could only assume he wanted to do this blood contract to power trip, and you were the first condition. Zach could not claim anyone except you, only if your wolf surfaced. Grant had always looked down upon females with no wolf. Same reason he never helped his own sister, Lexi’s mother, because she was wolfless. I was sure he thought of you as the way out to mock you and Zach. But eventually he remembered that he had a daughter whom he could put in a better place. So he scrapped you and changed it to her. But he forgot to change his contract to delete you. He
