Preston sighed deeply, his shoulders slumping in defeat as he turned to face me. “If you’re really interested, you can just go for it,” he said, his voice tinged with a mix of resignation. The thought danced in my mind—I was genuinely curious about what the adult toys looked like. Maybe Fiona and I could play with it during our sleepover. As I stepped into the toy store, an odd and whimsical energy enveloped me, making it feel almost surreal. Suddenly, a voice broke through my thoughts. “Are you unsure of what to choose?” Startled, I spun around to find Kai standing there with his usual stoic look. “I haven’t used any toys before” I replied to him, while he walked ahead of me and grabbed one of the weird looking toys from the shelves. “Why don’t you give this a shot?” he said, a mischievous glint dancing in his eyes as he handed me the toy. I couldn’t help but stare at it, curiosity bubbling inside me. “Come on, we can’t keep Preston waiting!” he urged, already striding out of
My heart palpitated as I stood in front of his door, I took a deep breath and was about to knock when I heard a voice behind me.“What are you doing here” I swirled around to see Kayden standing in front of me.“Erm… I came to see you” I tried not to stumble on my words.“And I do not want to see you” he walked around me and entered his room, closing the door to my faceI just stared at the door flabbergasted, how was I going to apologize to him if he kept ignoring me?I mind linking him, but he blocked me out.I leaned closer to the door “Kayden” I called out his name but there was no response. “I know you can hear me,” There was still no response from him.I heard a voice coming from down the hallway.“Amber Amber” It was Fiona screaming my name, I hadn't seen her since after the ball.“Oh my poor baby” she got to me and pulled me into a hug. “I heard what happened” she patted my back trying to comfort me.“I am fine” I tried to release myself from the hug, “Are you sure” she frown
We got to the pack house where Alpha Conrad was waiting in front of his car with his Beta as we approached them.Kai and Preston had decided to see me off, while I knew that Preston was going to be here, I least expected Kai.He was in a really good mood this morning making me wonder why, last night his attitude was different and made me think he would not want to see me at all.We got to where Alpha Conrad was standing and he was grinning from ear to ear.“Alpha Kai, Alpha Preston” he acknowledged. There Was no response from Preston but Kai replied.“It’s good to see you Alpha Conrad” he replied, making everyone turn to him.Preston was staring at him like he had grown an extra head.“The feeling is mutual” he then turned to me “It’s good to see you also Amber”I just forced a smile at him.“You know, I found out why you were scared of me on our first encounter” he stepped closer to me, and Preston took a defensive stance.Kai just leaned back, waiting for what he was going to do nex
I was trapped beneath Kai as his lips covered mine. I don’t know what was happening, but he was acting strange, and compared to the kiss we shared earlier today, this seemed rough.He suddenly raised his head and cursed loudly before suddenly leaving the room, closing the door with a loud bang.I was left confused, everything that happened was in a blur, one minute he was kissing me and the next he was storming off.I was too stressed to think about anything and the room felt stuffy.I left Kai’s room, knowing that I was not going to be needed.I decided to go outside for some air and try to clear my head, everything that has been happening to me has been occurring in haste that I never really had time to comprehend.These last few days had been pretty eventful and to top it all I was going to be leaving this pack tomorrow.I got outside and was surprised to see Nathan sitting on a log, I did not feel like talking with any of the brothers right now, hell I could not even face Nathan.
The silence in the room was deafening, the surprised look on everyone’s faces did not go unnoticed, Alpha Conrad was more shocked than everyone, I am sure he was already convinced that I wouldn’t accept the mate bond.Kayden suddenly erupted in laughter “You almost got us there”.“I am accepting the mate bond,” I said again and I think everyone was convinced that I was serious.Sitting in this room made me realize why my mother had not taken action to avenge our pack, if she had done that she would have war between the crescent pack and the dark moon pack leading to lots of casualties and deaths of people who know nothing about the feud.This was the only decision I could make, I had to keep my enemy closer to be able to strike and this was the only way.Accepting the mate bond will not grant me access to the blood moon pack, it will also make it easier with the kind of authority I was going to get from accepting the mate bond.“What are you talking about, you are going to agree to be
I wondered why Preston would need both of us. “You don’t have to look disappointed, we can continue this next time” he teased. I glared at him, shoving his chest as I got up and was about to leave not wanting to spare a glance at him. “You may want to know why Preston is looking for you” I ignored him, it was better I asked Preston myself. “Your mate is here” He answered disregarding my unresponsive attitude. I froze hearing what Kai had said. The last thing I wanted to do was meet with the man I was repulsed by. Once again I could feel the pain in my chest as anger bubbled inside me. “Amber” I did not notice that Kai was now standing in front of me, he placed his hand on my shoulder and I looked up at him. “As much as I don't want you to meet him, Preston and I thought that it would be best if you sort this out with him” He was right, though I had always wanted to exact revenge on the person who orchestrated the demise of my pack. I had never expected that person to be my
