Se connecterAmbrose’s POVShe didn’t show up to dinner. I sat there letting the food get cold as I watched the candles burnout. It has been two days since then and I haven’t set my eyes on her, let alone spoken to her.The one time I try to let my guard down and warmup to someone, it backfires. If she wants nothing to do with me despite the mate bond; then so be it. The king doesn’t beg for affection. Out of sight should be out of mind but I’ve found myself pining for her, her soft lips, the subtle curves of her waist and how her eyes burn with intensity when her emotions are high. I needed her, but my pride mattered more. The doors to the throne room flew open and Thor walked in, his face expressionless. “This better be worth disturbing my quiet time.” I exhaled as he got closer to the throne. He bowed, letting out a barely audible..”your majesty.” I nodded waiting for the news that might either add to my anger or take some load off my shoulders. “Your message has reached the council. The
Amanda’s POVI don’t know what was going through his mind as he kissed me, but my body’s response to that gesture was something I couldn’t deny. My heart swelled and the anger I was once filled with seemed to wither away. Our breaths synchronized as he pulled away gently, his arms still wielding my waist as my chest rose and fell. “Was that reckless enough for you?” He asked again and I looked away immediately because I could feel my face turning red. I was flushed, but the last thing I wanted to do was to let him know he has that effect on me.. even though my body had a mind of its own. “That’s far from my point..” I murmured almost inaudibly. “I know I have transgressed…” he whispered, only this time his voice didn’t annoy my ears. “I haven’t exactly treated you right and believing Jane over you was the height of it..”“Can we not talk about this?” I muttered back, my eyes wandering around his face. “But I wish to make things right between us and no… this isn’t merely because
Amanda’s POV“I remember him…” I muttered. “But he is not their leader.” I added. Ambrose sucked his teeth and shifted his gaze back to the barely conscious man. Normally I’d be able to stand the sight of blood but the early pregnancy sickness was dealing with me and felt my intestines forming a knot. “We have two of them now.” He said, his voice dense. I blinked at him, utterly confused, my gaze flicking from his to Thor’s. “Two? How?” I scanned the room. It was impossible to miss two battered bodies.Thor spoke this time, his calm baritone like music to my ears. I was growing tired of hearing Ambrose’s gruff voice. “A woman came in earlier and she confessed to everything. She said that the Luna of the Moonstone pack was responsible for your kidnap.” He stated. Tell me something I didn’t already know!“So why isn’t she behind bars?” “She claimed her life is in danger and she is willing to state her case before the council.” Ambrose cut in. I guessed that was the end of my melod
Amanda’s POVI spent the last three hours going over Ambrose’s request. His words replayed in my head and I really needed to speak to someone about it so badly. I can’t even talk to Claret about something as private as this. “Ugh… Emily..” I groaned as I gulped down a glass of freshly pressed juice. “Do you need me to call her in, my lady?” Claret asked and I almost jumped out of my skin. “Oh Claret… I almost forgot you were there.” I exhaled, clutching my chest, “and there’ll be no need for that. I’m not ready to have her around me yet.” I said as I walked over to the balcony. Staring into the empty courtyard, all I could think of was how Ambrose was more than ready to throw me out of his home and denounce me in the presence of every single person in this pack. My heart beat fast and not in excitement.. I understand he wants to make up for how badly he’s treated me since I stepped into this prison. But that doesn’t mean I can easily just shake off all the horror he and his people
Ambrose's POV“Duncan…” I repeated softly as my fingers ran through my chin. My back straightened as Thor and I exchanged glances. “What is your name?” I asked. I should have asked this when she walked in but I was too focused on why she wanted to see Amanda. “Nyra, your majesty..” she sobbed. “Nyra do you know the implications of lying to the king?” I asked again and she nodded. “I know what happens if I’m caught lying about the Luna of the Moonstone pack. I wouldn’t throw my life away like that. Your Majesty, I’m telling you the truth, I swear it.” Tears kept streaming down her face, her breathing ragged between sobs.“Let’s say I believe that you’re being honest, Nyra, are you ready and willing to repeat everything you have said to me here in the presence of the council?” I asked again and she lifted her eyes. “Yes, your majesty..” she replied. I gestured to Thor and he walked up to me, his sharp eyes scanning the maiden’s face. “What do you think?” I whispered to him and he
Ambrose's POVA loud deafening silence stretched between us for almost a minute. Amanda didn’t look at me, her eyes playing around the throne room like she was trying to digest what I’d just said. “There’s no rush at all, I’ll give you the time you need to think about it. But I’d be honored if you’d consider this offer..” I added and she nodded slowly. “Why the sudden change, your majesty?” She asked and I pouted my lips. I already asked her to refer to me by my first name and not this title but stubborn as she is, I knew she was trying to get her point across. “Why are you so nice and considerate to me all of a sudden?” She asked and I sighed. “For starters, you’re carrying my heir and you are the most important person in this entire pack as of this moment..” I responded but she shook her head, crossing her arms over her chest. “At first I thought that was the case, but before now you’ve always told me that when my job here is done; my job being to give you heirs, that I’d be go
Amanda's POV I woke to bright light filtering in through the windows I usually never forget to close. Thin, gold rays cut across the room and found my eyes before I was ready for them. I pried them open, slow and gritty from sleep and my hand lifted on instinct immediately shielding my gaze. T
Amanda's POV Still reeling from the shock of the bittersweet feeling that came from not getting my head ripped off by the Alpha King, I returned to my room. I was in utter disbelief and immediately realized that the people of this pack and household hate me way more than I thought. “I can’t believ
Amanda's POV“….I’d like to mark her as mine…” Words I would never forget. The pack didn’t like that their King, the Alpha King no less, had marked me. But I didn’t care because, for the first time in forever, things were finally looking up for me.I rushed to my vanity the moment I got back to th
Amanda's POV My mate was being coronated as the alpha of the pack today, and for reasons I couldn’t fully name, a cold unease gnawed at me. This should have been a day of pride and triumph. Duncan had worked for this, and I had stood by him, sacrificed and bled alongside him, to make him worthy o
