Amber's pov Working for Alpha Drake wasn’t that bad, he allowed me to start late so I could have breakfast with Elias and leave early so we could have dinner together. I only stayed longer when he had guests. I had most weekends off and I could take leftovers home. Saturday mornings I trained with some other working moms, Elias often joined me and sparred with some of their kids. He was strong and could fend off kids twice his age, but I’d rather he stay a kid a bit longer. Brian was usually sleeping off a bender in the mornings, but would join us for lunch most of the time. He wasn’t a great father, he was often gone for days at a time or he would smell of women and alcohol. But when he was sober and had a good day he would play ball with Elias or help me in the garden. I knew he tried and I saw how much Elias loved him. Every so often I would see Brian stare at his own reflection and look at the mark Susan has left. It was one of the only things he had left of her, the mark and t

Amber's pov "Did you hear me Amber? Alpha Axel Wensworth is the one who will be visiting us this weekend." I had heard Alpha Drake, but his words hit me like ton of bricks. Axel, someone I thought I would never see again, was visiting my pack. I was trying to push back the memories and the feelings of heartbreak that followed. I tried to contact Axel after I had found out about my pregnancy. We had been careful, using condoms every time. But during our last time, there was a tear in the condom. I was planning on getting the morning after pill, but the pack's gossip was in line behind me in the pharmacy. The next day Axel started to ignore me. I was so heartbroken that I didn’t even think of the condom until I started feeling nauseas. Abortion isn’t uncommon in the werewolf community, but in Alpha’s Alistair’s pack women didn’t have much choice and abortion was forbidden. I don’t know if it would have mattered if I had the choice, I knew what it felt like to be unwanted and Elias w

Amber's pov The next few days went by in a blur. Brian came back on Tuesday and I filled him in on the visit of Alpha Axel. He suggested to leave for the weekend, Axel might recognize him as well. He couldn’t stay away for the whole two weeks, but that first weekend would be most important to skip. Usually when Alpha Drake had guests, he would invite them over to his Mansion for dinner and would show them around town the next day. I guess Brian was scared of what Axel might do if he found out he’s been living with the Alpha’s ex and their secret love child. Brian had helped me when I needed it the most, but he was not a brave or strong man to be honest. Years of using alcohol to numb his senses, made him slow and he skipped out on training most days. He wouldn’t stand a chance against an Alpha. I actually felt relieved, not having to worry about Brian this weekend. My mind was busy enough with worries and thoughts about my old pack.Suddenly it was Friday night, the day before Axel,

Axel’s point of view. Was that Amber? No it couldn’t be! I had been trying to follow the scent of the wolf I met last night. She smelled like wild flowers. Later that day I smelled it again, while meeting with Alpha Drake at the packhouse. We were early, we stayed in a horrible hotel on the other side of the forest and I couldn’t stand being there any longer. The food was horrible, the matras lumpy and dirty. And when I couldn’t sleep, I let my wolf out for a run. That’s when I noticed the other wolf, it was big but my wolf wasn’t scared. He just wanted to play and tackled her to the ground. Sometimes happened with the wolf's fur, it glowed. It looked magical. I instantly wanted to know more about it. I apologized to Alpha Drake for our early arrival, but once I explained the state of our hotel, he understood perfectly fine why we couldn’t stay there any longer. Alpha Drake was often mentioned in one of dad’s rants. He was the type of Alpha dad hated, he was too soft and kind and le

Amber’s pov I didn’t sleep well, tossing and turning in bed. I had read the note so often I had memorized every word. When I woke up I took a shower and headed to Cassandra’s house. Elias was so happy to see me, he was hugging me and jumping around. I had missed him too, even if it was just for two nights. I asked Cassandra if she could come over in a bit, because I needed her advice. Elias was on the swings, while we sat on the bench outside. I told Casandra of the note and what had happened last night. "I think you should give him a chance. He might have changed. He’s an Alpha now, so he might just want to make sure there are no hard feelings about the past. Or perhaps he has questions about why you left, you told us you didn’t tell anyone that you were leaving and where you were headed right?" Casandra always had a way of calming me down and asking the right questions. I explained, " I just don’t want him to feel obligated to have me be a part of his life, because of Elias. He
