Amara~I walked around the pack house, looking around for some sort of savior that the moon goddess will send to me.Yes, I know that I have made it a habit seeing that Katherine was always on my case and Adrik had his hawks all looming over me. I’d already accepted that getting out of this place was impossible; at least not alive.Maybe I should just accept my fate and stay here in submission to Adrik. I don’t even know why I kept on disturbing myself about Lucian. No matter how much I try to lie to myself, I knew that I really wanted to see him again. And maybe he would get to know that I am his mate when he finds me again.I wondered why Katherine wouldn’t use her witchy powers to compel Adrik to love her. Why put out her frustrations on me when I detest even the air that he breathes?I exhaled deeply and turned over to the wing overlying the Pack house. Maybe I should try to train a little to build up my endurance. I got to the training ground and met Chad training some of the you
~Amara~“I know that you’ve been trying to escape for a long time now and it has been almost impossible for you. I’ve been waiting to see if you will ask me for help concerning it but you haven’t been forthcoming with it; probably because you feel that you cannot trust me”.My mouth hung open at the possibilities of what might have happened since he managed to know about my plans. Has he gone to Adrian with that knowledge or does he still plan on doing that? My brain raced with the possible lies that I could come up with to defend myself.“I can help you”, he continued. “I can help you escape from here”.I blinked severally to make sure that I was not hallucinating or hearing things that were not real. Was he trying to test me? To know if I will succumb to whatever scheme he might be planning with Adrik so that they will have enough reason to eliminate me?But I looked at him, and his eyes didn’t feel like there was deceit in them. They looked sincere and the way he gazed at me told m
~Amara~ The few days that passed in a blur had Chad treating me so sweetly and making me feel so desirable. I knew inside of me that what I was doing was wrong, not just because I was pregnant with my mate’s pup, but also because it was a dangerous affair. Maybe that was what added to the intrigue of it all. I hadn’t allowed him to possess my body completely yet, not because I didn’t feel the urge, but because I was still trying to keep a little bit of respect for Lucian until perhaps he figured out where I might be and came to save me. Yes, I know that I might be delusional for thinking about a man who had abandoned me and who might be rolling about in his sheets with another woman right now, but I just felt that I would be better if he just rejected me after finding out about our bond. A small smile lit up my face as the thought of Chad crossed my mind. Was I throwing away my chance at happiness by not agreeing to run away with Chad? During one of our stolen brief moments, Chad h
~Lucian~Due to Marcus insisting that I meet with Adrik to find out what he wants and why he had to be so violent with his mate to get his message across, I finally agreed to accept Adrik’s invitation to what he called the dotty cocktail party. It had taken a lot of persuasion and push for me to accept to go to his pack.I knew that there was no way that alpha Adrik would be seeking peace without a fight. He was the most cunning and probably most dangerous werewolf in the kingdom and he never had denied the personality. I knew that his inviting me to this so-called peace-seeking party had some evil agenda attached to it, but of course, there was no way I’d go back there without a backup plan so I placed some of my warriors strategically around his pack, waiting for a sign from me.Immediately I’d stepped into the party room, my body tensed and the hair at the back of my neck stood. I felt eyes watching me and I scanned the perimeter out of character but I couldn’t find anyone specific
~Lucian~It may have seemed like decades since I heard that voice but it’s been haunting me in all my dreams. I see her every time and I listen to her talk all the time. It was like she had taken hostage of my dreams.I slowly turned around, still scanning the party, my eyes lingering on any long curly black-haired woman in the crowd but she wasn’t there. The only person who was there was Lily, her eyes wide and smiley and her unwavering clench in my arm tightening. “I was asking why you didn’t introduce me properly to Alpha Adrik. Shouldn’t he know that I’m not just one of the women who you fuck when you’re bored?” Lily asked, still holding onto my arm.I hated the sound of her voice. How dare she contaminate the most memorable sound that I’ve heard in a long while with her squeaky voice? I disengaged her hand from my arm a little roughly and pinned her with a deadly glare.“And who are you to say that you’re not here just because I’m bored? You must think so highly of yourself to w
~Amara~ I sat on the floor of the room, crumbled into a messy ball when Adrik walked in. After I’d seen Lucian with the gorgeous lady by his side, I had assumed that she was the one he had replaced me with. It was further confirmed by the way he kept on looking at her while he spoke. Even though I could see little from the window space, and even though I could see just his back, I knew that he was gazing at her with such fondness that he had never used on me.The way she clung to her arm like a bee to honey, and the way her wide eyes looked up to him adoringly like a god, I just knew that there was no way Lucian was looking for me. I could swear that he had forgotten all about me and moved on with his life.My heart had felt so heavy like heaps of lead had been placed on them. Watching them be so warm and loving to each other had torn my heart apart. It shattered the remaining hope that I had left of him finding me. And from what happened, he obviously hadn’t noticed that I was his m
~Amara~“There really was no fire? You made the whole thing up?”, I asked Chad who seemed to be enjoying the lie that he told Adrik way too much.“Yes. I had to get him out of there somehow. And you looked like you really needed help”Well, he wasn’t wrong about that one. The last thing I needed was Alpha Adrik harassing me all over again in my state. I’d been so glad that Chad showed up when he did because it would have gone deeper then. Adrik’s demons were out to play.I was still in my thoughts when I felt my left ear being tickled by something. I turned quickly to find Chad working my ear with a leaf that he had picked from the ground. After the incident last night, Chad had taken me home and left after making sure that I was okay and that I had all I needed to sleep well, including a light kiss on my lips.This afternoon, he had come to sneak me out of the mansion into one of our spots in the woods where according to him, no one ever comes and Adrik’s spies would never locate eas
~Amara~I moaned into his mouth as the pressure of his kisses intensified, making my core throb and turn to jelly. My fingers crawled from his strong back up to his soft hair to bunch in them while his hands slipped from the nape of my neck to slide underneath my dress.His kisses made me giddy and I couldn’t tell if it was from his pheromone or my body just reacting naturally to him. But whatever it was, this feeling was so good and I wanted it to last as long as it could.His lips left mine and trailed a path down from my neck to the cleft of my breasts. It lingered there for a moment, his hands sliding up to cup one breast. I squirmed when his fingers unclasped my bra and pinched a nipple.I wanted more.I turned and straddled him, throwing my head back to grant him more access to my body. A guttural groan escaped his lips and made me water even more in my core. I never knew that a man’s moan had that kind of power over me. I suddenly wanted him to keep on moaning. I wanted to hear
