His eyes narrowed into slits, “you don't look surprised about being my second chance mate” Uh oh, I murmured, but there was no way I could possibly hide the fact that I already knew his story. It was a surprise to me that I haven't heard it from old maids, but I also haven't heard the fact that I was Lothar's mate when I went to the market. Guess the way Lothar ran his pack was different from the others. Anything that happens in the palace, stays in the palace. “Azalea told me” Lothar groaned as he squeezed his eyes shut, “she had no right to do that”I moved close to him, “I guess she doesn't want you to get hurt again nor does she want me to get hurt when I find out from someone else. I'm sure she doubted that you would tell me yourself” I wasn't so sure he would tell me if I asked too. I'm surprised that he did.“It doesn't matter. She would stop acting like my mom. I'm older than she is”“ She loves you and cares so much about you. She doesn't want me to hurt you like Bonnie di
I whirled around and spread my arms just in time for Amber to throw herself on to me. I stumbled back and would have fallen but the guard assigned to me broke my fall with a hand to my back."Careful" he glared down at Amber as he reached out to pull her away from meAmber shrink back in fear as she took two steps away from me, "I'm sorry" she apologized"Hey, what are you doing?" I turned to glare at the guard, " she is my friend. Stop glaring at her" " She was going to make you fall," he argued as he folded his hand across his chest."But I didn't fall" I snapped at him though he was the reason both I and Amber were still standing and not on the hard floor, "she is my friend so don't scare her off" I reached out to grab Amber and hug her as I heard the guard muttering something unintelligible under his breath"Your safety is more important than your friend. I'm not about to get beheaded because of any friend"" I heard what happened with Piper and how she accused you of stealing th
I walked up to the bed and sat down beside her, patiently waiting for her to gather herself together and speak up.When Amber was done talking, my chest felt too tight for me to breathe and my palms were cold and clammy with sweat. While I was here enjoying my nice room, the good food and also thinking about my revenge and new-found second chance mate, Amber for suffering because of me.“Hey Angela” she nudged me with her elbow," don't think too much about it. I'm fine. I'm still alive, see?” She spread her arms wide and tried to smile but winced instead and clutched her ribs with a pained expression.“Are you okay? No, scratch that, you aren't” before she could know what I was going to do, I was grabbing her to her feet and pulling off her gown.“Hey, what are you doing?” She spluttered in shock as she tried to grab her gown and cover herself.I was faster. I had her maid gown off her in record time. My mouth dropped open and my eyes nearly popped open in shock at the dark, pale and
I kept amber with me. No way was I going to allow her to return back to being a maid or even allow her to spend another second living with the other maids, not to talk of working in the kitchen. All I had to do after the doctor I sent the guard to find me, came to treat her was to go in search of Azalea.She has been super busy with different Luna duties I had no idea about and some I knew of. I have not seen her nor has she come to visit me since that day she told me about Lothar's first mate, his uncle, and his childhood.And right now, she was exchanging blows with the pack's Gemma while I was standing by the side and waiting for her to be done, so I could discuss taking Amber under my wings. I might be Lothar's mate, but I didn't have any power to stop Amber from going back to working in the kitchen. I needed Azalea's help with it.“Hey Angela, how have you been?” Azalea asked me with a smile as she bounded over to my side once she was done with her fight. She'd fought with Gemma
“I’m tired,” Amber groaned as she suddenly stopped walking. She was breathing fast and she placed her hands on her waist. She was sweating and she felt sticky. Angela, who was one step ahead of her, stopped and turned to look at her, “Stop being so dramatic. You are just lazy” “Lazy?” Amber snapped exasperatedly., “We've been walking for almost two hours and the sun is scorching hot today. I feel so sweaty and my clothes are sticking to my body. I’m hot and thirsty, I would do anything to leave the sun. You think I'm dramatic?” Amber could not believe Angela right now. She used to be the one who couldn't walk under the sun for fear of burning because of her light and transparent skin. This Angela was different. She had been different since she woke up after being knocked on the head. Amber liked this new Angela but the old one won't allow her to walk under the sun. Angela sighed. “You are the one who said you wanted to take a walk” Amber had recovered quickly but she soon began to i
The man looked more like Lothar, like an older version. He could easily pass for Lothar’s father. She would have thought him to be Lothar’s father if she did not know that he was already dead. Why so much resemblance?The man was also staring directly at her. Having been caught looking, Angela thought the man would take his eyes away immediately but instead, he picked his cup that held wine and raised it to her. A wide smile grazed his full lips when her eyes widened a tiny fraction."Are you okay, Angela?" Amber asked when she saw that Angela was lost staring in a certain direction.Angela took her eyes off the man who looked so much like Lothar to give amber a forced smile. She nodded, "Yes, I'm fine. I just…" Angela trailed off in shock when she returned her eyes back to where the man was seated and the chair was empty. The cup the man held up to her was not there either. Angela blinked once, then twice but still, the chair and table was empty. Where had the man gone or had she j
“Oh my God, were you trying to get us killed?” Amber had her hands to her chest and she was gasping in shock at their near-death experience. If Angela had not been quick to drag her out of the way, the horse would have trampled them and if the rider was not good enough at controlling his horse, he and the horse would be on the ground in splatters and dead by now.The man on the horse chuckled in amusement before he threw himself off the horse. He had a red rose in his hand. He gave a mocking bow as he stretched the rose flower to Angela, “For you, my lady” Angela, who was angry because of what the man did, scaring them and acting like it was not a big deal by laughing it off and giving her a rose flower, refused to accept it.“I don't need your flower, thank you. You should be apologizing to us” Angela snapped.From the man's attire and the horse he was riding, coupled with his wolf's scent, Angela knew that he was rich, he was an alpha, but she did not care. She did not know where t
Yes, Amber's mother was slowly recovering and could even sit up now. Amber and Angela lost track of time that Angela's guard had to come after them. He had changed out of his guard uniform and was now putting on clothes reserved for peasants and omegas, he blended in well. He also did away with his sword but Angela knew that he must have daggers and little knives hidden away somewhere in his body. When he knocked, Amber was the one that went to open the door for him and welcomed him inside. "Hey, what are you doing here? I thought I asked you to wait for us outside?" Angela asked and a snicker left her mouth as she eyed his clothes with a."Of course you did but have you been outside yet?" The guard snapped at her.Angela sneered at his disrespectful tone, " what's outside?""Maybe you should see for yourself. It's late already and we have to return back to the palace"Angela raised her brow at him before walking past him to the door. She sighed in understanding when she saw that it
