Amanda As I strode alongside Beta Alex and the guard, my anticipation and tension rose with each step. Marcus, the intruder who had dared to infiltrate our pack, stood at the end of our path. I could sense Alex's silent fury emanating from his presence beside me, a fierce loyalty to our pack evident in every line of his posture.“You need to calm down, Alex,” I muttered.When we finally reached Marcus, my strides faltered, and I came to an abrupt halt. He stood before us, a vision of masculine beauty that momentarily took my breath away. His presence was commanding, his features chiseled and intense, and for a fleeting moment, I found myself captivated by him.But then reality snapped back into focus, and I reminded myself of the threat he posed. I couldn't afford to be swayed by his appearance, no matter how striking it may be. Turning my attention away from Marcus, I glanced at Alex, noticing the tightness in his jaw and the glint of jealousy in his eyes. His loyalty to me and our
AmandaWalking back into the house, my mind raced with different possibilities, things that Marcus could do if he wielded so much power such as this. I had no doubt that he was going to carry out his threat because if there was one thing I knew about people like him, it was that they didn’t bluff. They knew the risks attached to whatever it was they wanted to do and they didn’t care whose ox is gored, especially when it came to doing exactly what they said they would do.It was scary thinking about it but at the same time, this just gave us an advantage because for one, we knew where the threat was going to come from and we could be adequately prepared and secondly, we knew what we must do. Marcus wasn’t going to ruin all the plans I had prepared, I would rather die than allow him to do that.“I don’t think you should beat yourself over someone as inconsequential as Marcus,” Alex said.On some days such as this, I wished I could just slap the living daylights out of him because of his
MarcusSeeing the female Alpha just told me that angels walked amongst us. For the first few minutes, I could hardly process what it was I was looking at. Never in my life had I ever seen someone as beautiful as she was. It just felt as if she fell out of the sky to come and live with us humans.She was the most beautiful human I had ever seen and staring at her, I knew that her wolf would also be as beautiful as she was. Amanda was her name and it was such a beautiful name for a goddess such as her. The way she had spoken with clipped eloquence couldn’t be found anywhere else and I knew for a fact that as beautiful as she was, she would spell trouble but I didn't care because as soon as I set my eyes on her, I knew that I needed to have her.There was definitely no way I would let her go now that I had seen her. I needed to be near her, needed to hear more of her thought process and if it warranted me to sneak into her chambers, just like I did now, I would. I had also seen the way s
Amanda“What happened, I heard some noise.” Alex said, bursting into the room.The only noise Marcus had made was when he was going out and I had a good guess that he had done that to leave a mark. I had seen the way he looked at Alex when I first met him and it was a look that wasn’t pleasant at all, a look that could kill if given the chance. As I sat at my desk, poring over the scrolls scattered across its surface, I heard a sudden commotion outside my chamber. Before I could even register the sound fully, the door swung open with a force that made me jump in my seat. Standing in the doorway was Alex, his expression a mix of urgency and concern."What's wrong?" I asked, my heart pounding with apprehension. The last thing I needed was an intrusion disrupting the fragile peace we had managed to maintain in our pack.Alex scanned the room quickly before locking eyes with me. "Amanda, there are rumors of an intruder in the vicinity. Have you seen or heard anything suspicious?"I hesit
AmandaThe evening descended with a sense of anticipation hanging in the air, like a taut string waiting to be plucked. The grand hall was illuminated by the warm glow of torches, casting elongated shadows that danced across the marble floor. I held court at the high table, surrounded by my elders, their presence lending an air of solemnity to the proceedings.As I sat at the head of the table, mulling over our next move against Alpha Zane and his pack, Gamma Beatrice leaned forward, her piercing gaze fixed on me. "What is our next plan of action, Amanda?" she inquired, her voice steady despite the urgency in her tone.I glanced around the table, meeting the eyes of each elder in turn before addressing Beatrice. "We need to exercise patience, Beatrice," I replied, my voice calm yet resolute. "Sarah, the spy we've sent into Zane's pack, needs time to gather information. We must allow her the opportunity to do so."Beatrice nodded, though the furrow in her brow betrayed her apprehensi
AmandaIt was officially one week since we sent Sarah to the Blue Heart pack and already, expectations were already high. We expected results from her but at the same time, I knew that i couldn’t just pressurize her that way and also because i didn’t want to get her or any of my pack members in trouble and so, i needed to wait.“What bothers you Alpha?”Gamma Beatrice walked in with a worried expression on her face. I knew she cared about me, knew she cared about my wellbeing but at that moment, I just couldn’t deny the fact that I was scared and worried.“Is this about the ongoing plan?” she asked, taking a seat beside me.If there was another person I could confide in besides Alex, it was Beatrice and in that moment, I knew that I needed some girl time and what better way can I do that now than by talking with Beatrice. Staring at her, I remembered the first time we had met, on that cloudy day a few weeks back. It had happened so suddenly, our friendship that I didn't think that it
Amanda“Alpha, there is an urgent message for us from a member of the Blue Heart pack.” a guard said, knocking gently on my door.I jerked awake, not quite expecting to hear this. What kind of message could a guard from Zane’s pack possibly bring for me. I hadn’t sent them any kind of message that would require a reply and thinking about it now, I realized that I needed to be careful when handling this. I didn’t know what Zane had planned and I wasn't going to be foolish in handling this matter.“Have him searched,” I ordered.“Already done that Alpha,” he bowed.“Good. I will be there shortly,” I said.Bowing his head again, he walked out of my chambers, leaving me alone to think about what I did. I couldn’t deny the fact that this worried me but nonetheless, I wasn't going to allow it to weigh me down. I needed to be smart about this.A few minutes later, I walked out of my chambers, walking towards the main area where the guard from Zane’s pack stood, surrounded by my own guards wh
Amanda As I strolled through the pack grounds later that evening, the air was crisp with the scent of pine and damp earth. My guards trailed behind me, their presence comforting in the gathering darkness. I enjoyed these quiet moments, away from the demands of leadership, where I could simply be among other people.Suddenly, a rustle came from a nearby shrub, breaking the tranquility. My guards immediately snapped into action, their bodies tensing as they scanned the surroundings for any potential threat. Instinctively, I halted, my senses on high alert. This wasn't a typical occurrence during my evening walks, and I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that washed over me.With practiced precision, my guards positioned themselves defensively, ready to spring into action at the slightest sign of danger. Yet, despite our collective vigilance, the source of the disturbance remained elusive. Shadows danced in the fading light, but there was no clear indication of what had caused the dis
