LOGINAmbrose “Sometimes, a king gets tired of his duties and would like to take a day or two off.” I exhaled, trying to look and sound better than I was feeling.The series of events of the past few weeks have for sure taken a toll on me both mentally and physically even though I hate to admit it. She pouted, her head tilting to the side. “Since when do you take day offs? Are you sure that’s what this is?” She asked, her tone filled with skepticism. I nodded, tucking behind her ears a strand of loose hair hanging just below her eyes which I spotted while she was talking. “I’m fine, just not in the mood to have meetings, listen to complaints or do anything that isn’t for myself….” I trailed off remembering a task I had forgotten. My shoulders dropped and her brows raised in curiosity. “I won’t be here all day after all, I have to go to the infirmary and check the injured soldiers and their rate of recovery.” I explained. “This is to confirm if we need to dispatch new recruits.” She n
Amanda “All I’m saying is, I am truly grateful for how much effort you put into making sure that Duncan got what he deserved. Despite starting off on the wrong foot, you didn’t let that stop you from putting my needs first. I owe you a whole lot. I am indebted to you for the rest of my life..” she said, her eyes twitching as her voice dropped. “You don’t have to thank me this much, Kattie. Duncan is a dog and he was meant to be put in his place.” I blurted, throwing my hands in the air. “My carriage is ready, I’ll be leaving for the Moonstone pack immediately..” she explained. I wanted to ask her how she intended on retaining her position as Luna when her husband has been stripped off of his position. But I was in no place to ask her that, at least not here. So I nodded with a smile and walked her to the door. “I’ll stop by every now and then to see how you’re faring. Take care of yourself and his majesty’s heir..” she winked. “You take care of yourself too..” I sighed, shuttin
Amanda“You’re dismissed.” Ambrose said hesitantly and I watched the look of fear on their faces quickly shift into one of relief. Myra eyes watered as her face dropped into her palms. “Thank you so much your majesty, thank you so much my Luna .” She cried. Claret was beside herself with fear and couldn’t say a word. The guards on the other hand looked calm outwardly but deep in their eyes I could see the relief in them.“Thank you, your majesty.” They chorused as they pushed themselves up from the ground. Ambrose nodded, his jaw still tight and seething from anger. “If this happens again, I won’t be so lenient. I am sure you know that.” He warned. They all bowed and walked out after that. I watched them leave before returning my gaze back to Ambrose, only to find him looking at me with a mix of both worry and anger in his eyes. “How could you do such a thing to me?” He asked, his voice filled with exhaustion.I took a deep breath as my lips parted hoping to find an explanation b
Amanda Birds chirped outside my window as the morning breeze parted my curtains and kissed my cheeks. My eyes fluttered open, squinting slightly because the room was a bit too bright for me after being asleep for so long. “Was I hibernating or something?” I asked no one in particular as I sat up on the bed, stretching my arms above my head. The pain in my lower belly has stopped completely. The one I felt behind me was gone too. I guess the impact of that attack wasn’t so much after all. My hand moved up to my belly and I cupped my bump, smiling down at it like my child could see me. “Thank you for being strong..” I whispered. Maybe I was seeing things, but I was sure I saw a movement inside me and I chuckled softly. As I climbed down from my bed and picked my robe from the rack, I realized the sun was fully sitting in the sky and yet my breakfast table lay bare. Not even a jar of water, let alone freshly pressed juice for me as usual. “Where’s Nyra?” I asked as I walked up to
Ambrose “My king. I think that’s something you should worry about and when we’re back to the pack.” Thor cut in. “You sustained a terrible injury and you know the war healers aren’t as skilled as the ones back in the pack, let’s worry about this after you’ve been properly treated.” He exhaled. I nodded, too tired to say anything more. I climbed into the carriage and Thor climbed in beside me; the sun was almost gone but we’d just began our long journey back home after one of the bloodiest fights we’ve had in years.“Was Duncan found?” I asked, turning to Thor as I broke the silence. I remembered him stepping away from the battle for a few minutes in search of Duncan could be hiding whilst commanding an entire army of rogues.I understood they had a leader on the battlefield but Duncan had to be somewhere near. Thor shook his head in disappointment. “I couldn’t find him.” He frowned, his eyes burning with rage. “But I overheard one of the new moonstone alpha’s soldiers say he was sp
Ambrose These men were clearly not out to kill me, otherwise they would have at least made an attempt by now. Even though it’s nearly impossible to kill a king, they could still try. My arms ached from being held behind me by those thick chains and the thought of not being able to break free from them made me even angrier than I was, when I realized I was kidnapped. For the first time in a long time, I finally felt what it was like to be helpless. Sitting there in those chains, I couldn’t believe that the high and mighty king was now at the mercy of six peasants who despite being heavily built, will still be no match for Thor. The steel door creaked open and one of them walked in holding a bowl of water and some fruits. “Our contractor doesn’t want you dead, at least not yet.” He said, placing the bowl beside me. I said nothing and just watched him leave the room, slamming the door shut behind him. Barely five minutes after he left, I felt something leaving my body slowly. Thes
Amanda's POV “What did you just say?” Duncan demanded, finally standing from the bed, hastily dressing as if the words I had just spoken had jolted him out of the spell Kattie had wrapped him in. Even Kattie froze, eyes wide in shock. Before, I had always clung to Duncan, never wanting to let him
Amanda's POV I walked toward Duncan’s door, determined to meet him. There were so many things I needed to discuss, countless questions I had and I couldn’t simply stay back in my room and listen anymore. I was not going to allow him to get away with this without an actual explanation.“I'm sorry,
Amanda's POV “No! You belong to me!” Duncan yelled, his voice cutting through the air. His eyes were pale, lids barely open, a sign that he was still suffering from the weakness my rejection caused. I sat there, too stunned to speak and too weak to even move. How could the alpha king be my mate? W
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
