Although I was still bothered by what had happened the previous day, I decided that I wasn't going to dwell on it any longer. I decided to even ignore the fact that Amber came back looking and acting like she was high on something and I brushed it off as being caused by the fact that she was just happy and excited that she had finally seen the vampiresI decided that there were far much more important things to worry about rather than obsessing over what Amber had been up to at the vampire coven. However, what worried me the most was the fact that she was doing these ups and downs while our mating ritual was still not done. The vampires were not the only threat that I worried about, I was worried about the wolves that were looking to use her to get to me, and the fact that we had not done our mating ritual left her open to that. Amber and I hadn't been speaking about the mating ritual for a while and thought it was time for us to do that. We had put it off for too long and frankly I
AMBER’S POV I couldn’t believe what Chad was telling me right now, how could he think planning our mating ritual without telling me was okay? How could he think I would just agree to everything that he had just told me with no questions or objections? It wasn't that I didn’t want us to finish the mating ritual because I did, it was the fact that he had acted like I had no voice in this relationship. This made me wonder if this was the life he was preparing me for. Was he planning to think for me the minute we finished our mating ritual? Did being his mate mean that I would soon lose the right to use my own brain? Or did he simply think that I didn't know what was best for myself? What made me even angrier was the fact that he had walked in here and just announced that today was the day of our mating ritual as if it was nothing, as if it was just another event planned in his calendar. Did he really have no respect for my opinion on this matter? I wanted to understand what made him thi
CHAD’S POV I was relieved that AMver finally agreed to do the mating ritual with me, I could see that she was very unhappy with the decision that I had taken but despite her unhappiness, she still agreed to go with me to the elders. The elders were also unhappy with the way that I had chosen to do things, Amber wasn’t the only person who was caught off guard by my decisions but so were the elders. The eldered thought they were just attending a meeting when they came to the throne room it was only when they arrived that they realized that it was my mating ritual that they had been called for.”Chad, why do you treat your elders the way you do?” Amber asked me as we prepared for bed“How do I treat them?” I asked her“You treat them unfairly and with so much disrespect and disregard for the role they play in the kingdom,” she said and I sighed“To be honest, I kind of blame them for what happened to my parents,” I said and she raised her eyebrows“What did they do?” she asked me “you k
AMBER’S POV I was in too much pain and although I had been trying hard to act like I wasn’t in much pain I was now succumbing to the pain that I was feeling. Chad had been keeping a very close eye on me and that was because he had noticed the amount of pain that I was in. I hadn’t believed him when he said that I was about to go into heat not because I thought it was impossible but because I felt like it was too early and I was a little afraid of the pain that I had heard that females go through during this time. However, none of the storied that I had heard could have ever prepared me for the pain that I was now in. I felt like I was in more pain that I was supposed to be, every part of my body hurt and I felt like Chad wasn’t making any efforts to help me out.At first it felt like my stomach was on fire then it would alternate to feeling like someone was cutting my insides with a razor. Even if I wanted to pretend as if I wasn’t in pain, it was too painful for me to ignore. For so
CHAD’S POV After hours of making love to Amber with hopes that she would finally come out of her heat, I was now exhausted. I literally had nothing more to give, I was drained and I just wanted to sleep. It didn’t seem that my efforts had paid off because she was still in pain and I didn’t know what else to do. As far as I knew all pain that she was feeling was supposed to cease but it seemed like that was not the case for Amber. I had even fallen asleep because of the exhaustion that I was feeling and after that I woke up to hear her groaning in pain. I was really lost right not because I didn’t know what else I could do to help her, I had tried everything that I had been taught to do and I was starting to think that maybe I had done something wrong.”Amber I have tried everything that I know and nothing seems to have helped you,” I said as I got up from the bed and watched her as she shivered on the bed. I didn’t even understand why she was shivering because this hadn’t been someth
AMBER’S POV I realized that it was now time for me to come clean with Chad, I couldn’t bear seeing him running around and trying to get a solution to a problem that I had cerated myself. The truth was that I was no longer in heat and I recognized the pain that was feeling as withdrawal symptopms. The doctor had been giving me some pain medication and that was what I had been living on. The pain killers did help me but only for a short while, what I needed was blood but I didn't know who would help me with that. I knew that if I told Chad that I was craving blood he would flip and lose his temper with me and then isolate me in an attempt to make sure that I got no access to blood. Worst of all, he was probably going to make sure that I never went back to the vampire coven because that was where I had gotten the blood that I had drunk.I waited for Chad to come to bed that evening as I was set to tell him the truth about what was happening to me. I knew that he was going to be very ups
CHAD’S POV I couldn’t believe Amber and after what she had just told me I couldn’t even stand to be around her. How could she be so reckless? She was the one who said to me that drinking blood was not a risk that she was willing to take, she said that drining blood would be a wrong decision and asured me that she wouldn’t do it. She convinced me that I had nothing to worry about as far as her vampire cravings were concerned and now I didn’t even know what to do to help her. The worst part about this situation was that she had watched me as I fecthed the doctor and let me do it despite knowing that there was nothing that the doctor could do to help her, and now the damn doctor couldn’t let tgis thing go. He knew that she wasn’t feeling well and he wouldn’t stop asking me about how she was doing. I couldn't just blow him off and I aslo couldn’t tell him what was wrong with her. I didn’t want anyone gossiping about my mate and me.“So how is Amber doing?” Jeff asked me and I almost roll
AMBER’S POV Things had gotten so bad for me and my condition had worsened in the past twenty-four hours, I couldn’t even speak anymore. Whenever I opened my mouth and tried to speak, I failed. It was as f I had no voice and I knew that the fact that I hadn’t been able to eat was contributing to my current condition. My worry was no longer myself but the baby I was carrying, I was weak and I knew that the baby wasn’t getting the nutrients that he or she needed to get in order to grow.I also couldn’t stop blaming myself for the fact that I was now endangering the life of my child and all because of the dumb decisions that I had been making. I know that Chad probably felt the same about this situation, even if he didn’t say it to me I knew that he blamed me for everything that was happening and I couldn’t blame him for thinking that. I was the only one to blame for this.“You look terrible,” Chad said as he walked into the room carrying a metal glass, I didn’t even have the strength or
