LOGINAmbrose's Pov As I got closer to the gates of my territory, a different kind of wind settled on my body and I let out a soft sigh. The castle was oddly quiet. Not that there used to be any noise before now, just that I felt a difference in the air. Darkness was creeping in faster and all I wanted was to freshen up and have dinner immediately. “Welcome his majesty, Alpha Ambrose!” Thor announced as I climbed out of the carriage and every servant halted, lowering their heads until I could see the center of each head. “Thank you Thor…” I muttered, patting his shoulder before handing him my coat. “Is dinner ready?” I asked the moment I walked in and the house keeper walked up to me. “Yes, your majesty.” She said and stepped aside. I went up to my room and had a quick cold bath before returning to the dining room. The sweet aroma of food watered my mouth and I dropped into my chair, diving into my meal without wasting any time. Halfway into dinner, I noticed the hall felt empty fo
Amanda's POVI turned into the majestic white wolf. The same one I thought had deserted me for good, it was there and I’d never felt more glorious.The rogues froze in place, their eyes wide with shock. Of course they knew what it meant to be a white wolf and I took a minute to relish in their surprise and disappointment. “I thought she was meant to be wolfless!” The leader growled, his voice cracking on the last word.No one responded, they were all too busy looking at me realizing they had made a mistake.“We must complete the mission, white wolf or not.” He spat. They were still going to kill me, I had to make a run for it. The leader’s voice cut through the silence and straight into my bones while I stood there thinking of a way out. “No one runs,” he barked, eyes locked on me. “She doesn’t leave here alive.” He added, taking a step closer. He dropped his head low, shoulders rolling. His body and bone muscle shifted under his skin with a wet, brutal sound that made my stomach
Amanda's POV I could hear the buying and snarling of their teeth as they surrounded me. I turned around, desperate for a chance to flee but there was no way out. They surrounded me. With the part of my sanity that wasn’t clouded by fear, I counted about seven of them. Three to my right, two to my left, one in front and the last one at the back. “What do you want?!” The words ripped out of me and sent birds running from their shelter in the trees. Immediately, a branch cracked from one of the bushes beside me and I quietly turned towards it.There he was. Stepping out from behind the thick bush like he’d been there waiting.He had a thick scar dragging across his forehead, pale against his skin. His arms were mapped with bruises both old and fresh ones, all of them telling stories he hadn’t said out loud.Normal features you’d expect from rogues but I wanted to know why I’d been set up and what the hell was happening. He didn’t answer. Just stood there, eyes locked on mine, lik
Ambrose's POVIt took us about an hour to reach the council territory after the messengers left. An hour of silence, dust, and the worst ride to a complete waste of my time. “Silliest news ever” barely described it. Thor rode beside me, jaw tight. Our four-man convoy kept a fast pace behind us, but none of us spoke. As we approached, the council walls rose in the distance, tall and unwelcoming and with every step closer my stomach twisted tighter as I desperately tried to keep my anger in check. The carriage rode to a stop and I climbed down, my patience already wearing thin. “Fetch some food and water for the horses, it was a long ride.” I ordered the four men. “Yes, your majesty.” They chorused, getting to work immediately. Thor walked closely behind me as I made way for the meeting room. He would not be let in but still he chose to follow me anyway, and that was what true loyalty meant. I reached the massive wooden doors and even before I touched them, voices leaked through
Amanda's POV Just like Duncan threatened, at the crack of dawn two carriages came in while I was having my morning walk in the courtyard, bearing the seal from the council. Emily and I exchanged glances, my heart dropping into my stomach. Why does Duncan want to make my life more miserable than it already is?“Do you want to go and see what they’re here for?” Emily suggested but I shook my head almost immediately. Five men came down and Thor welcomed them at the entrance, the look on their faces told me that they hated to be here. “I’ve strolled enough, I need to freshen up.” I said to Emily and she bobbed her head slightly. “Go on and run my bath. I’ll meet up with you later..” She walked away without another word while I headed stealthily towards the throne room. My stomach grumbled from hunger but I ignored the mouth-watering aroma from the dining room and pressed my ear against the large door. “Greetings, Alpha Ambrose!” One of them started, “I’m sure you’re aware of who we
Amanda's POVAfter spending most of the morning locked up in my room, I decided a walk in the garden was just what I needed. But as I was about to walk through the throne room, I heard the words I never thought I would ever hear. “I’m here for my mate.” I’d recognize that voice anywhere. But what was he thinking coming here? Being so far away from the protection of the Moonstone pack and in a pack that hated him down to his breaths. Why wasn’t he with his beloved Katie? Of course the broken mate bond between the two of us was making him grow weaker by the day. He should have adapted, it’s been weeks and I think it was so bold of him to walk in here and demand to have me back like I was some kind of commodity.In shock, I pressed my ear against the door, too scared to go in but even more afraid to walk away. “We’ve completed the mating ceremony.” I heard Ambrose say and my jaw dropped. He acted like it was a shameful thing and now he could use it to gloat so proudly? The voices w
