AMBER’S POV
My celebration for the so-called king keeping his distance from me was short-lived because he was soon knocking on the door and demanding me to let him in. I tried to ignore him the first couple of times that he knocked on the door hoping that he would go away but he just persisted in knocking and wouldn't give up. My wolf reminded me that he probably had the spare key to the room and that he could break the door down if he wanted to but I refused to be bullied by my wolf and the king. My time here had been horrible so far but I tried to look on the bright side, which was the fact that despite the fact that Chad knew that I was an intruder he hadn't tried to interrogate me or even confine me to the room that I was in. I was in the room because I chose to stay on my own.
If I was honest to myself I would have to admit the fact that I had gotten good treatment in the royal city, the treatment I received here was way better than what I h
CHAD’S POVThe honest truth was that I was deeply wounded by what my mate had said to me, I was hurt that she wasn’t even willing to give me a chance to prove to her that I wasn’t just any man I was her mate and I felt that had to count for something. I wanted her to see that I wasn’t like all the other man that she had met in her life. What she said to me where the words that I had never thought I would hear a woman say to me and for a split second I wanted to give up on her and allow her to leave. She was certain that she didn’t want me without even giving me a chance, she was sure that she wanted nothing to do with me but my heart and my wolf simply refused to accept that fact. I felt like if I simply gave up on her now I would be accepting defeat without even trying to fight for her. I hadn’t put in effort to convince her that I was a good an so now was not the time for me to give up. I was sure that there was something that I could do
AMBER’S POVI had gotten really bored in the room after Chad left and I thought that instead of wasting my time in his room, I had to go out and find out if there was any way I could escape the palace. Being around Chad was driving me crazy not only because he always seemed to be happy even after all the horrible things that I would say to him but also because of the feelings that were undeniable starting to develop for him. I knew that it was only a matter of time before the feelings took over and overwhelmed me and I had to get out before then. I had seen how wolves with mates behaved and I just didn’t want that to be me, I hated feeling vulnerable and I was willing to do anything to not feel this way. I refused to allow Chad to make me weak after I had worked so hard to leave my days of weakness behind me.After I bathed I went out of the room and took my time getting to know the palace, it seemed that Chad had told everyone who I was and eve
CHAD’S POVEverything seemed to be going well and Amber was giving into my advances without fighting me off like I had expected to. I couldn’t understand why she was angry with me since she claimed that she didn’t care about what I did. However, despite her anger towards me, she did allow me to kiss her and touch her just as I hungered to. I wanted her and I knew that I couldn’t forcefully take her, I didn’t want her to see me as a monster because I wasn’t, I may have been viewed as a monster by others but I didn’t want her to see me in the same way, I wanted her to know the most intimate parts about me just as I wanted to know hers. Our make-out session was suddenly cut short by none other than Amber herself when she finally realized that she didn’t want to do this with me.”What is wrong with you?” she asked me as she got off the bed where we had been lying and she shot up to her feet. She scratched her
AMBER’S POVI woke up in the middle of the night feeling cold only to realize that I was sleeping alone on the bed. Even though I had been fighting Chad and I had been insisting on him sleeping on his own I had gotten accustomed to him forcing his way into my blankets. It was him forcing his way into my space that I missed the most. I also missed the attention that he gave me of course those were things that I was not willing to admit to him but my wolf forced me to admit them to myself.I honestly don’t know what I was expecting when I woke up, but I definitely wasn't expecting to wake up to no one in the room with me. I was expecting Chad to at least be sleeping on the floor or even on the chair but words couldn’t even describe the disappointment I felt when I realized that neither of the two was the case. I was suddenly overwhelmed with a feeling of loneliness and I hated myself for it, I was allowing myself to be vulnerable and I was afraid
CHAD’S POVNow that the royal messengers had been sent out to Alpha Robert’s pack all I could do was wait for them to come back and tell me what his response to my invitation to the palace was. It wasn’t like he had much of a choice in the matter because I demanded to see him, I wasn’t asking him I was telling him that I wanted him to come and I expected him to oblige. I hadn't heard his side of the story yet but I already knew that it wasn’t going to be something that I was going to like, I expected him to either lie about what he had done to my mate or be ignorant and unapologetic about it. The only thing I knew so far was that he had killed Amber’s mother and I wanted to know his reasons for doing so as the king I had the right to ask why he had decided to kill her. I wanted to know more about their living conditions when they were together and what made Amber hate him so much.Jeff and I were still not on the same page where Ambe
AMBER POVI was torn between wanting to make a run for it and staying here to see where this mate bond would take me and Chad. I wasn’t sure if running would be a good idea and I also wasn’t sure if staying was a good idea, I wasn’t even sure of my feelings for Chad and I hated the uncertainty. What made matters worse was the fact that I hadn’t seen him for almost two days. At first, I thought tat it could have been that he was really busy but I was now realizing that he was just avoiding me and it was personal. Instead of having my food brought in my room like I usually did, I had told the omega that was serving me to alert me when a meal was ready. I did this with high hopes that I would find Chad in the dining room and then maybe he would explain to me why he was ignoring me but I hadn't been that lucky. I asked the omega if Chad had ever shared a meal in the same table with the other wolves that lived in the palace and she told me that he did. She
CHAD’S POVI carried Amber back into our room in a little bit of disbelief, I couldn’t believe this was happening so soon. I know that it was kind of long overdue but I never thought that an emotional breakdown would make her get to the point where she was ready to do this with me. Her head was still buried in my shoulder as if she was ashamed of what we were about to do or the fact that she had been the one who initiated it and I didn’t want her to feel like this. There was nothing shameful about her being with her mate and there was nothing shameful about us making love. if my parents were alive they would have even been asking us when we were planning to have children but I was kind of glad they were not here. they were probably going to scare Amber away.When we got back into the room I gently placed her on the bed and admired her beauty as she covered her eyes with her hands and I realized that she was probably shy because she ha
CHAD’S POVAfter I got to my office I started working before Alpha Robert could get here. Alpha Robert was a proud man and he refused to tell me what time he would be here. He also probably wanted to feel like he had some kind of control in this situation, but he wasn’t about to be in control of anything because this was my palace and I was the one who had summoned him. I wasn't about to allow him to come here and act like he could boss me around.I also used my time alone in my office as a time to prepare myself for what was to come, I knew that I had to control my temper so that I didn’t end up ripping this man’s head off however, just the thought of him sitting opposite me irritated me even before he had arrived. I was solely going on what my father had told me about the man and the little information that Amber told me. the man didn't have any good reviews.I didn’t want to accuse him of anything, I was just goi
