CHAD’S POVWhen we first arrived at the vampire coven I was not only excited by the action that was going on everywhere around me but also because I was about to see my mate. However, I was a little worried that we may have been a little late in getting to her. While I entered the coven searching for Amber, Jeff and the others remained outside where the real fight was happening. It took a while for me to finally locate my mate and when I found her she seemed a little disorientated and seemed to not think that I was even real.it was a little funny and cute at the same time but we had to hurry and get out so there was no time for me to dwell on the cuteness of my disorientated mate.I was angered by the conditions in which they had been keeping her because Amber was a queen and she didn’t deserve to be treated like some kind of a prisoner who had committed some kind of a big crime. The only crime she seemed to have committed in their eyes was to be born and to search for a place in whic
AMBER’S POVThis was the moment that I had been waiting for for a very long time, ever since I found out that the vampires wanted me dead I decided that I wanted to get even. I had gone to them because I thought that they would accept me if they knew that I rejected my wolf side and embraced the vampire in me but I was mistaken and wrong. How could I even expect them to accept me when they hadn’t even accepted my mother, she was punished for a decision that was made on her behalf, a decision that didn’t do much service to her. Of course, I felt like they were also to blame for what had happened to my mother, they kicked her out and told her to never come back. That was the reason that she never returned despite how difficult things turned out to be for her and I felt stupid for even thinking that they wouldn't treat me the same way.Now here I was face to face with Marcus and I was now overcome with the same grief that I had experienced the day that awful wolf I called m father snatch
AMBERS POV I tried to shake off the taste of Marcus’s blood from my taste buds and forget it but that seemed close to impossible, I felt like I wanted more of that addictive taste but I also didn’t want to go and hunt for it. Even if I was willing to hunt for it, what kind of a creature would I hunt for without raising suspicions or concerns with Chad. I couldn’t deny that his blood tasted good to me but the last thing I wanted was to find myself killing humans, vampires, and wolves for survival. One of the things that my mother told me when she was still alive was that I was to stay away from human blood or any kind of blood. She always told me that that would awaken a hunger and thirst in me that would be very uncontrollable. That was the reason that she made sure that I stuck to a certain diet and I never ate any meat that was not well cooked. Even after I was old enough to manage my own diet and decide for myself what I wanted to eat I had always stuck to the advice that my mothe
CHAD’S POV Amber didn’t look very good and although she said that she was just tired and hungry, I was worried that it might have been something a little more than that. She didn’t look hungry but rather looked like she was coming down with some kind of sickness. I wondered if they had given her something or some kind of drug before I arrived but she said they did no such thing. She said that they didn’t give her anything to eat nor drink and this worried me even further.What made things worse right now was the fact that she was now obsessing and worrying about the well-being of these vampires that were left behind. I felt like this wasn't her problem and she was worrying herself about something that somebody else had to handle. These vampires were not her problem and I just needed her to understand that. We were now going around and collecting the dead bodies that were lying around, both vampires and werewolves. Jeff had already started a huge fire and we were throwing them in the
AMBER’S POV When we arrived home I just wanted to rest and do absolutely nothing. I realized after I took my shower that I was actually very exhausted and I needed to get some rest. I felt extremely lucky that Chad seemed to understand that because he didn’t even try to do anything with me after we got home. While I was bathing Chad made sure to organize food for me because I had told him that I was very hungry. However, I could barely take a bite of the food that he had given me. it just tasted bland, as matter of fact it was completely tasteless and I felt like I was eating sand. ”Why aren't you eating?” he asked me “I don’t why, but this food tastes funny,” I said putting away the food and taking a sip of the water ”But it's your favorite and I made sure that the chef made it exactly the way you love it” “yes but I think it was cooked differently,” I said “Okay” he sighed “what would you like to have them?” he asked me “I don’t know, I think I will just go to bed now,” I sai
CHAD’S POVIt took a lot for Amber to finally fall asleep and I knew that she was very worried about the fact that she had ingested Marcus’ blood. I had never met the bastard but from what Amber told me it seemed that the guy was a piece of work and difficult to deal with. At first, I hadn’t really made a big deal of what she had told me because I just didn’t think that it was possible for her to suddenly develop cravings for blood simply because she had a taste of Marcus’s blood but the more I thought about it the more I saw that as a possibility. It was my job to protect Amber as my mate but I wouldnt even know how to protect her if she turned into a vampire and started tearing the royal city apart. I had to find a way to put a stop to that before it even happened. It was better to have a plan in place rather than just sitting and waiting for things to fall apart.When I woke up the following morning I left Amber sleeping because I imagined that she was exhausted from all the activi
AMBER’S POV I woke up feeling a lot better than I had been feeling the previous day, and I was relieved to see that Chad wasn’t in bed anymore. I was worried about what his state of mind would be after what I shared with him last night. I noticed that after I told him what was worrying me, he tossed and turned the whole night. That didn’t make me feel any better because I couldn’t stop wondering what he was dreaming about, as he dreaming about me fighting him? Or was he dreaming about me killing everyone in the royal city all because I was craving blood? I didn't want to wreak havoc in Chad's palace and I didn't want him to think that violence against his subjects was my choice of gratitude. but I feared that I would soon lose control because the cravings were going to take control of my body one way or the other.After I finished bathing I headed to the kitchen to see if I could get something to eat, I made sure to wait until the kitchen was empty and everyone had had their breakfas
CHAD’S POV“Don't get me wrong AMber, I want you to do this so that you can have peace but I just don’t think it's a good idea” I said why couldn’t she just understand that I couldn’t just stand by and let her walk right into a trap.“Why don’t you think it a good idea Chad?” she demanded“Because it might be a trap,” I said feeling silly right after I said that“Everyone who wanted me dead in that coven is dead and no one is asking that I go back there. I want to go there myself” she said and it, looked like she was close to tears”Come on Amber, you have to understand that I am only refusing because I am concerned about you, I don’t want anything to happen to you” I siad“I can take care of myself, I am not a baby” she snapped“Fine, you can go. But you can't go on your own”
