Alpha Edward’s POV Going through the file in my hand, I tried to concentrate, but my thoughts constantly drifted to Amanda. Despite it almost being three months since she left, I haven’t been able to take her off my mind. I craved to see her beautiful face, hear her voice, and sniff her scent. I wished I could go over to France and meet with her, but I knew I couldn’t; she wasn’t mine in the first place, and I had to respect that. A knock came on my door, but before I could respond, the door to my study opened and Matthew walked in, excited and smiling widely. I furrowed my brow and closed the file in my hand, casting a suspicious glance at him. It had been a long time since I had seen him this happy. “And what is the good news? You seem so happy.” “Yes, I’m really happy.” He took the seat across from me and smiled widely, which made me so curious. Whatever was making him happy must be really big. “Tell me.” I urged, eager to know what the news was. “I will be a father s
FIVE YEARS LATER, Amanda’s POV As Liam tightly clasped my hand, we strolled out of the airport while Sophia walked beside me. Our eyes scanned the bustling waiting area until they landed on Beta Matthew, patiently waiting for us. “Father!” Liam yelled and ran towards Beta Matthew, who also ran to him and picked him up off the floor before hugging him, “How are you, my boy?” Beta Matthew asked tenderly as he kissed Liam's forehead before setting him down. “I'm fine, father. I'm so happy that we will now be staying with you.” A big smile spread across his face as he hugged Beta Matthew again. My four-year-old son, Liam, has thought of Beta Matthew as his biological father. Beta Matthew has been an incredible stand-in father for Liam, and I didn’t know what I would have done without him. Liam wished for his family to live in one home, but it was impossible. I stayed in France while Beta Matthew resided in California. Liam has pleaded with Beta Matthew and me to live together
Alpha Edward’s POVMy breath hitched, and for a moment, I couldn’t breathe as I stared into the most alluringly beautiful set of sea-blue eyes that had tormented my mind and dreams for the past five years. Staring at her, I could easily call her perfection. It seems the past five years have drastically changed her. The last time I saw her, those sea-blue eyes of hers looked weak and lifeless, but the one staring right at me was so full of life. Her face, which I would call perfection, was glowing, and without being told, I knew she had lived her best life for the past five years, while the past five years have been hell for me. My eyes fell on her full lips, and I couldn’t help but stare, wishing I could pull her into my arms and kiss her while confessing to her, telling her how much I missed her.My heart pounded in my chest as I tried to gather my composure, but it was a losing battle. She was right there, the woman who had haunted my every waking moment and every dream, standing b
Amanda's POV “Mother, I look so much like him,” Liam muttered as I led him away. “No, you don't, Liam. You are just seeing things wrongly,” I corrected him immediately, even though I knew he was right. This had been my initial fear about coming here. I was worried about Alpha Edward meeting Liam because Liam was his exact look-alike. I knew Alpha Edward would notice the resemblance, and it was beginning to trouble me. “Mother, look properly. I look so much like him, Mom, his eyes, his…" Liam argued more. “No, you don't.” I shunned him, and he frowned before looking away. Luckily, we met Beta Matthew, who took him from me and offered to show Liam around the mansion. After Liam went with Beta Matthew, I made my way to Sophia's room and found her still arranging her things. “Hi,” she greeted me, and I smiled before sitting on the bed. “Are you comfortable here?” I was concerned about her. The war had made her leave many things behind. “I think that question is supposed to
Amanda's POVMy head was telling me to push him away, to stop this madness, but my heart and body were saying otherwise. Moaning softly, I pulled him closer and deepened the kiss, wanting more of him. It had been five whole years, and I missed his touch so much; it felt like a sleeping giant in me had awakened.Moaning between the kisses, he pulled me towards a direction, and my back hit a tree. He groaned into the kiss, kissing me like a starved beast, while I tried to match the pace of his kiss. Damn, I was losing my senses.I felt his hands lift my nightgown, and his fingers brushed against my sensitive skin, sending cold shivers down my spine. His other hand folded around my breast, still under the nightdress.I moaned and kissed him deeply, wanting more of him. His fingers shifted my underwear aside, brushing against my entrance, causing me to moan as I parted my legs for him. He rubbed the entrance of my pussy with his fingers before inserting two fingers in, which made me gasp.
Alpha Edward's POV I was surprised to see Amanda walking into my study. Initially, I thought it was one of my guards or maids. Seeing that it was Amanda, I dropped the file on the desk and raised a brow as I watched her walk up to me and stand before me, the desk separating us. Staring at her, the memories of last night in the garden flooded my thoughts. I could still hear her moans in my head, feel the tightness of her pussy wrapped around my fingers, and remember the hot, intense kiss we shared. Just the mere thought of it was already making my dick throb, and I had to compose myself. “Alpha Edward, we need to talk,” she demanded, and I gestured to the seat in front of her. “Have a seat,” I said, already knowing why she was here. She reluctantly took the seat and faced me. “What happened in the garden should never have happened,” she muttered, getting straight to the point. “I'm your beta's mate, and it's taboo to even touch me,” she spat. “What we did was an abomination and
Alpha Edward's POVI could see the terrified look on Amanda's face as she quickly arranged herself and got up from the table. She looked so worried, and the sight bothered me. “Calm down,” I said to her, but she eyed me and glanced at the door.“Who is there?” I questioned.“Alpha, it's I.” I recognized the voice as one of my men. “Yes, what is it?”“Alpha, it’s time for your private meeting with Alpha Linus.” “Prepare the car. I will be out shortly.”“Roger that, Alpha,” he said and left.Turning around, I met with a furious-looking Amanda, and before I could say a word, a slap landed on my cheek. It was shocking, but somehow, I wasn’t angry; I just felt numb.“How dare you?” she spat with anger while I raised a brow at her. “You…” Her voice broke with rage, and I saw her inhale deeply, close her eyes, open them and then glare at me. “Stay away from me, Alpha Edward. If you come anywhere close, I will tell this to Matthew.” She threatened, and I raised a brow at her. “Is that to sca
Alpha Edward's POVFor the past three days, Amanda has been making sure to avoid me. She ensured our paths didn’t cross. Despite my busy schedule, I made sure to eat at the table to see her, but she never showed up. Only Sophie and Liam appeared at the table.My thoughts drifted to the last time I saw her, when we made out right here in my office. I could recall how she moaned for my touch, making me wonder if she was also feeling what I felt.A knock on my door interrupted my thoughts, and I asked the person to come in. Walking in was one of the spies I had sent to investigate Matthew.“Any news?” I asked, eager to know what Matthew had been up to.“Greetings, Alpha.” He bowed his head, and I gestured for him to speak.“Sire, according to my findings, I am 100% sure that Beta Matthew is having an affair with a woman named Lina.”“Her name is Lina?” I raised a brow, and he nodded. “Yes, sire. Inside here is all the information you will need.” He stepped forward and handed me a brown e
