CHAD’S POVI couldn't believe that I was being punished for being a nice guy, all I had been trying to do was to help Amber but I was shocked by the way she had reacted when she discovered that I had met with her father. I could understand that she was abused by him but it wasn’t like I had called him for a social visit, it wasn't like I was trying to be friends with him. Jeff was the one who made me call alpha Robert for a meeting because he said that Amber was a wanted wolf in his pack. I wanted to make it clear that she was no, longer his responsibility but mine. I wanted him to know that he would have to answer to e if he ever tried anything with her. I didn’t care that he was her father because I was willing to do anything for my mate.Funny how that blew up in my face, Amber simply refused to see reason and she refused to even listen to what I had to say. She was convinced that I had betrayed her even though I couldn't understand how I had betrayed her. She didn’t even know what
AMBER’S POVI didn’t understand why it was so hard for Chad to understand that I just didn’t want to see or speak to him. There was nothing that he could say to me that could make me forget what he had done and how he had tricked me into sleeping with him. That was what I was calling it now because I couldn’t find any other explanation as to why he would bring my father here a day after sleeping with me. He knew what he was doing and he knew what he was trying to achieve. He tried to play me for a fool and he even almost succeeded but I was done being his little idiot.On the other hand, I was getting a little tired of being cooped up in this room all day all because I didn’t want my path to cross with his. I had to go out for some fresh air otherwise I was just going to lose my mind while in this room. I decided to bathe and just go to the garden and relax. The garden was the only relaxing place in this palace and I had also noticed that it was the only place that Chad didn’t frequen
CHAD’S POV I had gone to the pack training grounds because I felt that I needed to spend some time outdoors, I also wanted to do physical activity that wasn’t lifting weights. I had been spending a lot of my time in the office and Jeff kept encouraging me to do something else but I was never up to it. However, when he mentioned that he had a new group to train today I was kind of interested in that. I just wanted to get back in the action once more. I hadn’t been doing much training ever since I took over the throne but I felt that I needed to get involved in the training as a way for me to get my mind off things. To my surprise today was also the day that Amber had decided to also go out of the room and get some fresh air. This was just my luck, I hadnt seen Amber in a very long time, and seeing her after such a long time was all very refreshing to me. She looked so beautiful, the lack of sunshine had made her skin a little pale but she still looked beautiful either way she looked l
AMBER’S POV After my infuriating exchange with Chad, I stormed back to my room. I should have never listened to Natasha, for all I knew she had convinced me to go to the training grounds because her king had asked her to. Chad was probably the one who told her to come and get me so that he could abuse me some more. If I had gone to the garden as I had initially planned to I would have never met with him and he wouldnt have ruined my day by trying to outsmart me. I ran to the room and locked myself inside, as much as I didn't want to think about Chad, I couldn't stop thinking about him. I couldn’t stop obsessing over the way he had touched me when we met at the grounds, the way he held me and gently brushed his lips on mine. he didn't care that we were being watched by others, it was as if it was just he and I. I thought that not seeing him in a while was going to help me get over him and maybe he would lose his hold on me but I was obviously wrong. He seemed confident that I would
CHAD’S POV So Amber was officially mine and mine alone, she already was mine and that was thanks to the mate bond but the fact that she had allowed me to mark her meant that she had finally come to a point of accepting me her. Marking her was like putting an ownership stamp on her and everyone else would know where she belonged no matter where she went. Even if she tried to run away from me if we had a fight I knew that she would be returned to me because she would easily be identified as my mate and as the queen. Unlike a marking from a regular wolf, Amber’s mark from me was very different and it was almost like a royal seal, the mark itself was like a tattoo of my wolf and that mark was going to change her wolf’s appearance also, however, this wasn’t something that I was going to share with her because I still didn’t trust that she wouldnt try to escape me if she got the chance and the opportunity to. All I had ever wanted ever since I met Amber was to have her in my arms the way
AMBER’S POV Now that Chad had opened up to me I kind of felt obliged to open up to him too and tell him everything that I hadn't told him about my parents. Everything that I hadn't told him bout the treatment that my mother and I suffered in the hands of my father. I wasn’t planning to share with him everything that had happened and where I eneded up but I knew the question was going to come. I had become very bad at lying to him and even hiding my thoughts from him so I knew that he probably knew why I was here. He had probably already overhead my thoughts as I obsessed over what to do.“I also think I should tell you everything that my father did to me and my mother,” I said“You don’t have to do that, I mean you don’t have to do anything that you are not comfortable with” he said”No I have to tell you everything,” I said as I came to the decision that I did have to tell him everything that I had been trouygh and where I had run away to.“Okay, then tell me” I said and she got off
CAIN’S POV3Even if my father refused to admit it, he knew that Amber had been gone longer than he had anticipated her to be. I missed her terribly and I didn’t even know what to do with myself in her absence. I had even stopped going for training with the pack hunters because that also reminded me of her. I couldn’t stand seeing my father so I had resorted to avoiding being with him altogether. I just wanted to be left alone all the time and I didn’t want to hear him making excuses. I was now convinced that he had sent her away on purpose and he didn't think that she would ever come back. My theory for that was further proved by the fact that he didn’t seem bothered by the fact that she still hadn't returned home.I was spending more and more time in her room, as a matter of fact, I had practically moved into her room. Although the room had stopped smelling like her and started smelling more like me I still felt very close to her in her room. I had made it a point that I didn't move
CHAD’S POV I was glad that I had finally managed to get Amber to open up to me but at the same time, my conversation with her had left me infuriated. I hadn't expected the extent of the abuse that she was subjected to by her father but the fact that it was not only caught me off guard but angered me at the same time. I had been trying to figure out how best to deal with this without turning myself into a complete animal and the only thing that I could think of was that I had to take care of this man. If he hated Amber and her mother as much as Amber said he did then she was in danger of him coming after her again and had to make sure that didn’t happen. I had called Alpha Robert here not only to hear his side of the story but also because I wanted him to know that Amber was now under my protection but now I realized that there could be no limit to what a man like him could do. He was probably planning his next move wherever he was and the fact that he knew that Amber was with me gav
