LOGINChapter 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 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 37Amber’s POVAnd I agree.My sister’s voice echoed in my mind as I staggered back a few steps. Maggie knew. All this time, she knew her mother wanted my organs, and she was okay with it?My mouth tasted foreign to me. The hospital lights too bright as I turned away from the room, disorien
Chapter 34SILVER MOON PALACEThe Beta’s wife was very tired. She used to be stronger, able to run for hours on little to no sleep, but pregnancy had taken its toll on her.Now, Mina ignored the noise she heard from afar, sighing softly as she resumed her slumber.“You sniveling little bitch! How
Chapter 33Amber’s POVHeat flooded my cheeks as I cleared my throat awkwardly.“I… um. We weren’t—I mean…” I tried to move back, then my feet snagged on the pile of clothes. “Shit!” I stumbled and started to fall but Taylor caught my wrist just in time.“Easy,” he chuckled, raising a brow in amus
