AMBER’S POV I woke up feeling a lot better than I had been feeling the previous day, and I was relieved to see that Chad wasn’t in bed anymore. I was worried about what his state of mind would be after what I shared with him last night. I noticed that after I told him what was worrying me, he tossed and turned the whole night. That didn’t make me feel any better because I couldn’t stop wondering what he was dreaming about, as he dreaming about me fighting him? Or was he dreaming about me killing everyone in the royal city all because I was craving blood? I didn't want to wreak havoc in Chad's palace and I didn't want him to think that violence against his subjects was my choice of gratitude. but I feared that I would soon lose control because the cravings were going to take control of my body one way or the other.After I finished bathing I headed to the kitchen to see if I could get something to eat, I made sure to wait until the kitchen was empty and everyone had had their breakfas

AMBER’S POV I was relieved that Chad had finally agreed and allowed me to go and visit the coven, they were all that I could think of and I just worried about their safety. I couldn’t even wait to get to them and the driver that I was with seemed to be taking his time on the road. It was as if he had also been dying to get out of the palace and this was a perfect opportunity to get some fresh air he didn’t seem to realize or understand that this wasn’t a trip for leisure for me.After what felt like years, we finally arrived at the coven and the pace was in shambles. I didn’t even understand why anyone would want to attack these vampires because ninety percent of them were literally children. There was literally nothing that anyone could gain from attacking them and that was why I was I was so puzzled.“What the hell happened here?” I asked as I tried to navigate through the piles

AMBER’S POVI knew that Chad wouldn’t like my idea of how we could help the vampires that were left behind in the coven but I had to try to convince him to do something. Even if I decided to protect them myself there was little that I could do to stop the attacks from happening and as long as I stayed in the palace, I had no way of protecting them. I decided that I would ask him to stop the war and the fighting as soon as I got home because I knew there was no way that he would let me stay in the vampire coven, especially after I had told him about my blood cravings.However, the reaction that I had gotten from him after I asked him to end the war wasn’t what I had expected from him. He had acted like he couldn’t understand why I would ask this of him, as if I was asking him to do the impossible for me but I wasn't. I knew that if anyone could help the vampires it was him as long as he was willing to help.“So what do you say?” I asked him and he shrugged" It's not my war to end,” he

AMBER’S POV I couldn’t believe what Chad was telling me right now, how could he think planning our mating ritual without telling me was okay? How could he think I would just agree to everything that he had just told me with no questions or objections? It wasn't that I didn’t want us to finish the mating ritual because I did, it was the fact that he had acted like I had no voice in this relationship. This made me wonder if this was the life he was preparing me for. Was he planning to think for me the minute we finished our mating ritual? Did being his mate mean that I would soon lose the right to use my own brain? Or did he simply think that I didn't know what was best for myself? What made me even angrier was the fact that he had walked in here and just announced that today was the day of our mating ritual as if it was nothing, as if it was just another event planned in his calendar. Did he really have no respect for my opinion on this matter? I wanted to understand what made him thi

AMBER’S POV I was in too much pain and although I had been trying hard to act like I wasn’t in much pain I was now succumbing to the pain that I was feeling. Chad had been keeping a very close eye on me and that was because he had noticed the amount of pain that I was in. I hadn’t believed him when he said that I was about to go into heat not because I thought it was impossible but because I felt like it was too early and I was a little afraid of the pain that I had heard that females go through during this time. However, none of the storied that I had heard could have ever prepared me for the pain that I was now in. I felt like I was in more pain that I was supposed to be, every part of my body hurt and I felt like Chad wasn’t making any efforts to help me out.At first it felt like my stomach was on fire then it would alternate to feeling like someone was cutting my insides with a razor. Even if I wanted to pretend as if I wasn’t in pain, it was too painful for me to ignore. For so
