Alpha Edward’s POV I flung away the files stacked up on my desk. My mind was a mess. Ever since Amanda left, I have never been myself. It felt as if a part of me left with her. I couldn’t explain how I became so attached to her. I thought it would be easy to forget about her. In fact, I have had countless sex over the weeks, thinking that perhaps it would help me forget about her, but alas, I was wrong. I couldn’t take my mind off her. I thought of her every single day. I imagined her in my head. I thought of the sex we had in the garden. Those images were unable to leave my mind; it seemed they were stuck there forever. I wished I could have her back. I wished I could go over to France and bring her back, but I didn’t have any right to do so. She was the mate of my best friend and beta. How could I fight for her? What would people say? That I was fighting over a woman who is the mate of my beta? Sighing exhausted, I leaned on my seat, but just then, a knock came on my door. Sensing

Alpha Edward’s POV Going through the file in my hand, I tried to concentrate, but my thoughts constantly drifted to Amanda. Despite it almost being three months since she left, I haven’t been able to take her off my mind. I craved to see her beautiful face, hear her voice, and sniff her scent. I wished I could go over to France and meet with her, but I knew I couldn’t; she wasn’t mine in the first place, and I had to respect that. A knock came on my door, but before I could respond, the door to my study opened and Matthew walked in, excited and smiling widely. I furrowed my brow and closed the file in my hand, casting a suspicious glance at him. It had been a long time since I had seen him this happy. “And what is the good news? You seem so happy.” “Yes, I’m really happy.” He took the seat across from me and smiled widely, which made me so curious. Whatever was making him happy must be really big. “Tell me.” I urged, eager to know what the news was. “I will be a father s

Alpha Edward’s POVMy breath hitched, and for a moment, I couldn’t breathe as I stared into the most alluringly beautiful set of sea-blue eyes that had tormented my mind and dreams for the past five years. Staring at her, I could easily call her perfection. It seems the past five years have drastically changed her. The last time I saw her, those sea-blue eyes of hers looked weak and lifeless, but the one staring right at me was so full of life. Her face, which I would call perfection, was glowing, and without being told, I knew she had lived her best life for the past five years, while the past five years have been hell for me. My eyes fell on her full lips, and I couldn’t help but stare, wishing I could pull her into my arms and kiss her while confessing to her, telling her how much I missed her.My heart pounded in my chest as I tried to gather my composure, but it was a losing battle. She was right there, the woman who had haunted my every waking moment and every dream, standing b

Amanda's POVMy head was telling me to push him away, to stop this madness, but my heart and body were saying otherwise. Moaning softly, I pulled him closer and deepened the kiss, wanting more of him. It had been five whole years, and I missed his touch so much; it felt like a sleeping giant in me had awakened.Moaning between the kisses, he pulled me towards a direction, and my back hit a tree. He groaned into the kiss, kissing me like a starved beast, while I tried to match the pace of his kiss. Damn, I was losing my senses.I felt his hands lift my nightgown, and his fingers brushed against my sensitive skin, sending cold shivers down my spine. His other hand folded around my breast, still under the nightdress.I moaned and kissed him deeply, wanting more of him. His fingers shifted my underwear aside, brushing against my entrance, causing me to moan as I parted my legs for him. He rubbed the entrance of my pussy with his fingers before inserting two fingers in, which made me gasp.

Alpha Edward's POVI could see the terrified look on Amanda's face as she quickly arranged herself and got up from the table. She looked so worried, and the sight bothered me. “Calm down,” I said to her, but she eyed me and glanced at the door.“Who is there?” I questioned.“Alpha, it's I.” I recognized the voice as one of my men. “Yes, what is it?”“Alpha, it’s time for your private meeting with Alpha Linus.” “Prepare the car. I will be out shortly.”“Roger that, Alpha,” he said and left.Turning around, I met with a furious-looking Amanda, and before I could say a word, a slap landed on my cheek. It was shocking, but somehow, I wasn’t angry; I just felt numb.“How dare you?” she spat with anger while I raised a brow at her. “You…” Her voice broke with rage, and I saw her inhale deeply, close her eyes, open them and then glare at me. “Stay away from me, Alpha Edward. If you come anywhere close, I will tell this to Matthew.” She threatened, and I raised a brow at her. “Is that to sca
