MasukAmber’s POVThe world was a buzz of noise, darkness, and ice. One moment, I’d been lashing hot at my supposed mother. The next, my ears were ringing. I was thrown on the floor, warm liquid pooling at my chest, and a soft, consistent voice whispered in my ears.“Get up.”“Get up, Amber.” “Get up, now!”My eyes flew open immediately, and I had half a second to roll away before another line of ice struck the stone floors where I’d been mere seconds ago. I supported myself on my elbow. Coughing and adjusting my eyes to the darkness and chaos.What the hell was going on?“No time, Amber.” The voice in my head hissed insistently. “Move now!!”Adrenaline coursed through my blood. A dull ache pounding at the back of my head as I pushed to my feet breathing raggedly.Princess Nehira still stood at the mouth of the infirmary. But something was incredibly wrong, I could feel it deep in my bones.Her skin was sheet white. Black veins pronounced against the pale skin. Even the way she stood was
Amber’s POVI could feel the weight of my words on the room. The hallway went silent. Everyone staring at me in shock. Then Mina slightly took a step closer to me as I swallowed, but deep in my heart, I was sure.The person who’d warned me against provoking the King.The person whose face had gone whiter than death when I first stepped into the courtroom.The only person not supposed to have left the capital but somehow had extensive knowledge of the outside world.My eyes moved to Mina, and my heart thudded once more.I suspected before, but— Luna Natalie’s words confirmed it for me.“No,” Delilah started to whisper. Open-mouthed as she shook her head. From her eyes I could tell she knew my mind.“B-but it doesn’t make sense.” She muttered out loud again. “She– I saw the records. She was neutered in front of the court.”But even as she spoke, her words got weaker and weaker. Then her pale turned deathly pale. “Fucking hell. It wasn’t her, was it?”My voice felt strange as I nodded. “T
Chapter 97Amber's POVMy chest still felt squeezed. But I put all thoughts aside as we stepped out of Maggie's room to see Mina waiting in the hallway.My breath shook instantly and my eyes filled up."Amber!" She rushed to me. Panting from the strain as her arms came around me. "Thank the Goddess. I was worried. It was taking so long and Delilah told me about the surgery. You had a surgery?!! Then went to face Maggie alone. So soon after your humanity came back and-- " She pulled back, turning my face this way and that. "Your humanity is back, isn't it? I would like to avoid being thrown against the wall again and--- "I burst into tears immediately.Mina's rambling froze and her eyes went wide. "Oh!" She gasped. "What have I done? Did I say something? She looked behind me to Delilah. "What did I do, what did-- ""Shut up," I sobbed, throwing my hands fully around my best friend and holding her while I breathed her in.My true sister. In everything, she'd held me down. Had constant
Chapter 96Amber's POVLuna Natalie's words rippled through me as my spine froze in place. "What do you know?"If she took note of the lack of warmth in my words or my voice. She didn't say. Her eyes just stared past me, listlessly towards Maggie."The day she was buried, I saw your mother. She- She came back for you. To hold you for a moment.""Before or after? When did you see her?" My heartbeat roared in my ears as Luna Natalie's lips parted, and she whispered. "After."The weight of her words almost made my knees weak.She saw my mother after she was supposedly buried? "And you said nothing?" I asked aloud, my voice coming out harsher than I'd intended.But it made no sense. if you attended the funeral of a person and saw them afterwards, wouldn't you say something?And all the times I'd actively searched for information about my mother. Why had she never said anything?"I was glad for her to be gone." Luna Natalie shrugged. Sniffling for the first time as her blue eyes began to
Chapter 95 Amber’s Point Of View And 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
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 42Amber’s POVDid we make it on time?My limbs felt tired and heavy, the strain of the rushed journey seeping into my bones. At the back of my head, Vera whined. We needed to rest.
