LOGINChapter 95Amber’s POVAnd so the hospital room descended in silence.No sound save for my voice as I told Maggie of my journey.Living life twice.Almost dying the second time, and finding ways to persevere.They were words, I’d never uttered to a soul.Details of my death.My own drowning fear as the metal table had bitten beneath me and the bright lights shone into my eyes above me.When I finished at last, her eyes were closed.Twin tear tear tracks rolled down each sides.My breath caught. For a moment, I feared she had passed.That the details of my story had made time move faster for her.But then, Maggie’s lids fluttered and relief shattered my chest as she turned slowly and held my gaze.“W- will I get a second chance too?” Her voice was a hoarse whisper.The thinness of it brought tears to my eyes because I knew it was time.This was what she’d been holding on for.Me.I had to pass my rebirth to her.Slowly, I nodded as my tears rolled down my cheeks.The air in the room f
Amber’s POVI wasn’t sure what I’d been expecting.The same sickly white figure drowned beneath hospital sheets.Beeping machines loud as a gas mask covered her face.Or the wailing scream I’d come to recognize as Luna Natalie.Yet when I entered Maggie’s room, what awaited me was none of that.She was awake.My heart stuttered violently as my feet came to a pause and I took in the scene before me.Maggie sat straight up on the bed. Her form was frail, her hair— straw thin and her back was supported by a pillow.By her bedside unfailingly was Luna Natalie.But the other side… my breath caught as my eyes locked with my father’s.Alpha Logan.Or the former Alpha Logan.Both he and his wife had been deposed.Criminals waiting for her daughter’s death before their punishment tenure would begin.With my humanity off, I could face him head on. Be cruel even.Now, I could barely breathe as a range of emotions slammed into me. Prevalent among them was anger.Still, I schooled my expression. N
Chapter 93Amber’s POVSurgery, in a way, feels like rebirth. The same sinking dread as the world slips away. The same breathlessness as the world snaps back in place.And it seems to you like you just blinked but in actuality, you’ve been gone for a couple of hours or an entire lifetime.“Amber?” Delilah’s soft voice pushed past the fog in my head. “She’s awake!” I heard her yell to someone, the noise around me becoming clearer with each second.I was in a room. The several machines had been unhooked, leaving only one that beeped incessantly.Then the lights. They were still bright, but didn’t feel as harsh as I groaned and blinked open my eyes.“D– ““Shhh.” Delilah was at my side. She grabbed my arm and shook her head firmly. “No need to talk. Here.”Amusement flashed through me as she gently brought over a glass of water and raised it to my lips.I was fine.Already, I could feel the new power in my veins threading me back and healing the surgery site. But I didn’t want Delilah
It was fine.Everything would be fine.All I had to do was close my eyes, and when I opened them, it’d all be over.And yet.My fingers curled over the cool metal of the hospital bed as I tried to control my breathing.“Behave,” I whispered, admonishing myself.These people were not killing me.This wasn’t some grand conspiracy to take all my organs and abandon my empty corpse.No, I had volunteered for this surgery.I’d stepped forward, choosing to give Maggie part of my liver and one of my kidneys. And yet—The movement of the bed as they wheeled me into the theater, the blending voices of the medics as they conversed over each other.The bright lights shining on me above all took me back to that day.My past life and how everything had shattered.“Hey, hey.” Delilah’s warm voice suddenly crashed me back to the present.I gasped, gulping in air greedily as I held on to her hand.Her eyes watched me with concern and something akin to fear.“You don’t have to do this, Amber.” She whis
Chapter 90Amber’s POVMy entire chest was tight with dread. Bile rose up my throat as Princess lifted Mina’s pale frame in her arms and sped off down the hallway.I almost retched from the pure panic boiling my blood.“Hey.” Delilah’s soft voice pulled me back. She was holding my hand, squeezing it to ground me. From the look on her face— she knew. Knew my humanity was back on.“D-delilah.” I tried to speak, but my throat closed off.I’d been horrible to all of them.Said mess up stuff and been snarky about her and Gwen in public.“It’s okay,” she whispered, her voice soft like she already knew what I was going to say.“Come.” She pulled on my arm softly. “Let’s focus on Mina now. Okay? Breathe and stay with me. Right now, Mina needs us. Both of us.”She was right.I nodded, gripping her hand back as cool air flooded my lungs again.Around us, with Princess Nehira’s absence, the temperature had cooled.Now the guards just stood looking between me, and Delilah not sure what the next
The Lycan Capital City Amber’s POV “We need to talk.” Annoyance shot up my spine as the princess practically hauled me inside the main palace. “About what?!” I hissed, bristling as I pulled my arm back. A warning signal went off at the back of my head reminding me that the princess was still the Lycan’s sister. She not only outranked me, but she also had more power than I did. But still I held my ground. Schooling my face into a cold mask of annoyance. “About your lack of humanity and the rash decisions you’re making.” She clucked her tongue in irritation. “Being direct is one thing. Challenging the Lycan king is another!” Her tongue was filled with disapproval. Her voice sharp as she hissed. “You’re lucky he let you get away with your stunt.” “Why do you care?” I wrinkled my nose. And I would have turned and walked away had I not seen Mina and Delilah sneaking behind the princess towards her chambers. My spine went stiff. Were they searching her room? “Of course
Chapter 48Amber’s povLike a cat caught in headlights, I froze still, my eyes darting around the hall for some kind of explanation. Everyone seemed to be looking to me for the same thing.By the table reserved for royals, Lady Lysandra didn’t bother to cover my mouth, chucking triumphantly.I almo
