Amber.Carmen dragged me out of the halls where we just had our not so good encounter. Her expression was dark with anger and it seemed she was restraining herself from blurting out something that would alarm me. If she was trying to hide it from me then she was doing a bad job because I was even more suspicious."Carmen, you're hurting me." I finally cried out and I watched her return back to reality. She blinked rapidly, her shoulders heaved down her gaze still on me, she had a sorry look."I am sorry about that, I was…." Her words trailed off in her mouth."Angry?" I asked. "Is there something I need to know?" I shifted my weight to another leg and I looked at her, my heart running miles. I hated being lied to, it brought back the unfriendly memories of Reece. All these years I had believed bullying was just his nature and an escape to whatever is it that held him down, but he seems he wasn't just a bully afterall. He was also a psychopath and power thirsty greedy guy. "I don't k
AmberShe asked if I wanted a run but I sincerely didn't want that, but it seemed I didn't have a choice. She pulled me through different corners of the pack and I met different kinds of faces. I silently wondered why they all held kind faces and applauded me with praises. Carmen was such a betrayer, she just stood there with her arms folded and watched me being pulled around by some chirpy girls as they all wanted to talk to me.But in all those I was in silent thought, was this what Brenda meant when she said I should enjoy it while it lasted? I never imagined that my escape would land me in a place such as good as this, it was just too much to handle and too good to be true.I wasn't just led here to be patted and treated like a royal blood, though I was but not in this territory.. No matter how much I wanted to blend in I couldn't help but feel so tiny and small, most especially when I didn't know why I was here in the first place. But whatever it was I would flow with the moment
~Amber.Andrenaline rushed throifh my veins as I pulled Carmen away from the crowd ignoring her protest for me to see Matthew, I was in no mood to see anyone. I just wanted to be left alone, it was getting to a breaking limit and I didn't want to break down in front of anyone, I have done that before and I am not doing it again.We walked back to the mansion with her leading way. The silence was a load of nervousness, my mind was unsettled and disturbed, I didn't want any contact with anyone for now."Who is Darmac?" I blurted out as soon as our movement stopped."He is Brenda's brother." She answered, not looking at me but at a nearby design in bid to escape by watchful stare.Now what? First was Brenda herself now her brother? Brenda already felt like sore now to add her psychopathic brother? How was I to handle all this? Well as the saying goes: Everything that has an advantage surely had a disadvantage. "I didn't see him all this while." I stated ignoring the fact that he has alre
~Raze.My anger with Darmac still burned in my chest but all I felt now was a mixture of anger, jealousy and possessiveness. Seeing Matthew standing casually with a cup on his hands, sipping it slowly and a slow smirk on his face.Seeing him reminded me of what happened the evening before when I saw him touch what belongs to me. This wasn't me tjinkin, I knew that. This was the Raze Amber had formed, Zane could testify how different I have been throughout her stay.Matthew was a very good and outstanding warrior, heck I even made him the head of my army, I trusted him but I didn't trust his ability to woo a woman and for the first time I felt really protective. I have never felt this way for anyome, not even Brenda."Hey Alpha you're here." He greeted raising his cup with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.I nodded, my eyes narrowed coldly on his figure and be prepared a place for me to sit. He's acting totally oblivious to the fact that I had been staring at him all through without
~Raze.The pack meeting was to start soon but I knew I needed some alone time. Zane walked in moments after I entered the meeting room."Greetings Alpha." He greeted.I nodded."I haven't found out the pack she's from but I'll have the artist draw a sketch and take it to all the neighboring packs.""Good." I said simply, getting ready for the meeting. Zane soon took his place beside me as the others filed in.~Amber.I was in a good mood the following day. Carmen had popped in forcing me out of my room to a place she wouldn't tell. I hope she wasn't taking me to some sick place.I got dressed, sitting in front of the vanity as Ayra styled my hair.I scowled. "Is this important? I am just going for a walk with Carmen."Ayra sighed, her shoulder heaved down and a smile on her lips. "Alpha's orders. This is a plus to you as well. You get such special treatment and have the Alpha watch you ljke a jealous husband."I blushed crimson and nudged her playfully. When we were done I bid her goo
~Amber.My body involuntary fell on the ground with a thud, my heart racing as fast as it could. How did she know about Reece? Who on Earth was Brenda? Darmac just have a small smirk ruffled my hair and srotted our behind his sister who bubbled away.Panic filled me that instant. No, this wasn't good. I never wanted anyone to know about who I was but how did Brenda get to know? Of all people the most important piece of information that my life depends on had to fall on someone like Brenda? God I am done for."Amber are you okay?" Carmen rushed up to me staggering on her feet but maintained her balance.I nodded, biting my lips holding the tears back in. I am far from fine Carmen but I can't tell you. It shattered and broke my heart, Carmen has been nothing but good and kind to me. A loving friend I never had.She helped me up, dusting my gown with her hands with concern. I kept my head bent so she wouldn't notice my panicked Express, Carmen is very smart in no time she would deduce th
~Amber. I swallowed down the question that crept to the tip of my tongue as soon as Carmen switched to her chirpy self. She scared and intrigued me at the same time her, her ability to switch emotions scared me and she and she made me want to find out what she wss hiding about her relationship with Matthew. We got into the mansion and was greeted by the familiar fleet of cars and well trimmed grasses and garden, a corner of Raze special garden glimmered in sunlight and I smiled at the calming sensation it brought. "What got you all smiley like a fool?" Carmen nudged my side with a frown. I glared back. "Nothing that concerns you." She scoffed. "Sorry to interrupt your moment with your man special garden." I blushed to my hair roots. "I am not " She shrugged. "Hey Carmen." A voice called from behind us. We turned and the look for recognition flashed in Carmen's eyes. The lady who walked, no, ran towards us was a slim lady with a good body shape. Her red hair was packed in a roug
~Amber.After a moment of silence, Carmen broke the silence and looked at me eagerly."What do you want to do?" She asked, like I was the determinant of our run tonight."What do I want to do or what do you want us to do?" I asked laughingly, my face scrunched up in a playful look.She smiled and turned her gaze towards an opening path in the forest, the smell of pinewood still haunted me and the cold air refreshed me. "Do you hear that?" She asked."Hear what?" "The sound of moving water, a lake." She informed.I frowned. "Don't tell me you want to go for a swim right now?"She shrugged. "There's really nothing else to do, and it is not a bad idea." "We could have stayed indoors." I muttered.True, I was just putting up a stubborn front. I actually enjoyed and relished every moment I spent here, there were no distractions or intrusion or some taunting presence of the two jerks. We walked towards the stream, it glimmered in moonlight and looked inviting. We pulled off our robes an
