Chapter 1Amber’s POVThe sterile smell of antiseptic slammed into me the minute we stepped into the hospital. “Walk faster!” Mother snapped, her heels clicking loudly on the cold tiles.I burrowed my hands into my jacket, fighting to keep my breath even.“You’re ten minutes late!” Mother’s sharp voice snapped me out of my daze. I flinched, wiping my shaky hands on my jeans. “I’m sorry, Mother,”“You should be,” she hissed coldly. “You kept Maggie waiting,”“For just ten minutes. She’ll survive,” my wolf, Vera, drawled sarcastically. “Sensitivity, Amber. Something you clearly lack where Maggie is concerned.” Mother’s clipped words trailed off as her eyes flitted down to my stomach and she paused in horror.My gut knotted and my trembling hands touched my stomach self-consciously. What was it this time?“Why is your stomach so big?” She hissed, her sea-blue eyes hardening like ice glaciers. “Did you eat something?!”“Just salad… then a pineapple juice.”“Juice?” Her voice rose, lace

Chapter 2

Chapter 2Amber’s povThere’s something infectious about excitement. It doesn’t have a specific smell yet it fills the air. Today, excitement smelled like spring blooms and the yellow orchids the maids placed all around.“Yes, put that vase there,” Maria, our housekeeper’s voice, resounded loudly as she directed the maids. “No, no, a little to the right. Yes, perfect!”I bit my lip lightly and twisted my hands in my lap. I could barely stand still! All around me, the maids worked tirelessly to decorate the pack house.Today was the day! Lucas would finally come to Father and officially propose!“We don’t know that yet. Nobody told us anything,” Vera argued, a flicker of something unreadable in her tone that I quickly dismissed.I shook my head at her naivety. Nobody told me anything but it was painfully obvious!“Maybe they want to surprise me, Vera,” I reasoned with her as I stopped beside a living room table.All around, the tables were decorated with different pastries. I inhaled d

Chapter 3

Chapter 3Amber’s povI can’t say exactly how long I lay on the floor, silently whimpering as a constant tremor went through me. But when I woke up, they were all gone. The maids had restored the living room, cleaning every trace of my betrayal. The packhouse was spotless once more. My injured hands, the only evidence that something horrible had truly happened.“Miss Amber,” A maid appeared by the living room door, staring at me sadly. Slowly, I lifted my head and pushed myself to a sitting position. I was hollow. My wolf temporarily gone; she needed to heal her wounds.“What do you want?” My voice sounded hoarse even to my ears.“The Alpha requested you meet him in his office. He’s waiting for you.”I gave a nod, my legs weak and unsteady as I slowly pushed to my feet.My walk to Father’s office was slow. My mind spinning as I thought over the last time I met with Lucas.Nothing seemed strange or amiss. He had hugged me the same way. Kissed me the same way. Even his whisper of love

Chapter 4

Chapter 4Amber’s POVIt was late. The Pack roads were dark, and the cold night breeze played around with my hair. I drew my arms tighter around myself. Walking the road alone without my wolf was a struggle, but I had the moon shining brightly to guide my path.Hunching outside Mina's window, I melted into the shadows as I rapped on the cool glass.For a few seconds, there was no movement. Then, a lamp flickered to life, and her footsteps drew nearer the window.“Mina!” I whispered softly. She drew back the curtain, her sleeping face a mask of confusion. I watched as it went from groggy to shocked to confused. “Amber?!” She pushed open the windowpane immediately, her eyes wide in horror. “What the hell happened?”I shifted on my feet a bit self-conscious. Just how bad did I look?“Do you want to just stand there waiting to freeze to death? Come in!” She reached to help pull me into her room, but her hands gripped my injured palm.Pain exploded down my arm, and I hissed, pulling back

Chapter 5

Chapter 5Amber’s POV“Please just fit,” I hissed under my breath, frustration rising in me as yet another top spilled from the suitcase.With a sigh, I threw my hands up and stood back to admire my work. Earlier today, after Mina made Lucas leave, I came home to pack my things.Walking down the hallways of the Pack house felt nostalgic. The air still smelled like warm baked bread and fresh cookies. The voices of the Pack officials from Father’s office still filtered into the hall. The packhouse felt completely normal. “What did you think? That the world would stop spinning?” Vera hissed bitterly.I let out a breath and rubbed at my temple. She was hurting.One more reason why I had to leave. I moved to my bed, unzipping the overflowing suitcase. If I’m leaving my old life behind, I might as well shed some things.My fingers began to move through the soft fabrics, selecting the ones that made the cut. I was so engrossed in my task, I didn’t notice my bedroom door sliding open.“Ambe

Chapter 6Amber’s POV“I still can’t believe it. I had no idea.” Mina moved past my suitcase, shaking her head in disbelief.“I know. And I'm sorry. I didn't know I had the strength to leave until I did,” I sighed, breathing in my best friend. She smelled like citrus and warm cinnamon.“No, you have nothing to be sorry about. I understand.” Mina shook her head slowly. Her eyes shone with tears as she settled into the bed beside me and held my hands.After sneaking away from the Pack house, the first and most obvious place for me was Mina’s house.Luckily, her bedroom window was open, so I had no trouble hoisting myself and my bags in.Mina came back from the wedding some minutes ago, looking disgruntled. She had apparently been looking for me and was confused about where I disappeared to.“I’m happy you’re leaving,” she sniffled, dropping my hands as she pulled me into an embrace.”You never deserved any of this,”Wait, but we were leaving together. I drew back, blinking in confusion.

Chapter 7

Chapter 7Amber’s POVMy world was silent. Like a bubble underwater, I was separate from reality. Then the bubble burst. And my harsh truth came crashing into me.My lips were parted, but no screams came out. Only a dry heaving rasp as I shook my best friend’s body. Over and over again. No response.“Amber, you have to get up,” From the furthest part of my brain, I registered the alarm in my wolf’s voice. But I ignored her.Mina’s eyes were closed. She looked almost asleep. But she had no heartbeat.A part of me was waiting for her eyes to blink open. Waiting for her lips to part in an amused smile as she threw a quip at me.A sob tore from my throat. My insides were cutting up all over again. I was in so much disbelief, it killed me. How could they do this? How could they—“Amber!” Vera snapped with more urgency this time. “You have to get up now!”My head shook as I clung tighter to Mina’s body. I couldn’t just leave her here. Maybe if I hold her tighter. Maybe I could give her s

Chapter 8

Chapter 8Amber’s POV“Amber?! Hey, Amber. Are you okay?!”A dull whirring sound droned in my head, making me groan painfully. All parts of my body hurt.“Are you good?”My eyes blinked open slowly and I frowned.Where the hell was I? Was this the afterlife? Somehow I expected more angelic white clothing and maybe some music but this was starkly different.Why the hell was I on the floor in the… Pack training room? And why was— Mina!I sat up with a start. Swearing softly as the room swam around me.“Hey, gentle,” Mina worriedly held my shoulder.I was so happy to hear her voice! I tried to hug her hand but with my eyes squinted, I just ended up looking loony.“Ouuu she hit her head so hard, she lost her senses,” A familiar voice purred and then laughter filled the room.I frowned, the bright light harsh on my eyes as I turned this way and that. What the hell was going on?!Why was I—“Shut up! Cal!” Mina hissed as her hands began to pull me up. “Here, come. Let’s take a break,” I wa

Chapter 9

Chapter 9Amber’s POVOver the years, Mother has employed several women under the title of head housekeeper. In reality, their main job was me. They were to watch me. Ensure I was keeping to the diet. Report my every movement back to Mother… that sort of thing. Among all the women, Madam Griselda was the one that stuck.And she was the one I despised the most.“SPIT IT OUT! AT ONCE!” Her huge frame filled the infirmary doorway as she huffed in anger. To the side of the room, her alarmed shout woke Mina up with a start.“Will you please calm down?” Mina hissed groggily as she yawned and stood to her feet. “It’s not like the world will end because—”“You! Shut up!” Madam Griselda snapped at her, marching over to me and snatching the half-opened bar from my hand. “Just look at her!” She hissed, her eyes trailing me in disgust. “She’s weak! Covered in bruises, and trying to eat chocolate all because of you! You’re a bad influence. Stay away from her before I report you to the Luna.”“Ma

Chapter 10

Chapter 10Amber’s POV“Erm, it’s okay, madame. Stop me here. Mother wants to see me.” I tried to stop the wheels of the chair, but Madame Griselda only pushed harder. “Don’t be stupid, girl. Aren’t you weak?” She hissed spitefully. “You just relax. I’m going to push you to your mother’s room… in Maggie’s chair.”My heart rate picked up as she continued to push. If mother saw me in Maggie’s chair…“Oh, Amber,” Vera moaned worriedly. “We shouldn’t have angered this woman. Now she’ll…”“Shut up, Vera,” I snapped at my wolf. I was anxious enough without her doubts making it worse.As we moved through the packhouse, all the maids jumped out of the way. Doing a double-take when they saw which sister was seated on the chair.Madame Griselda hummed a tune, her countenance overly bright as she brought the chair to a stop in front of Mother’s oak doors.She rapped on the wood. I just started to stand from the chair when the door swung open.Mother looked exactly the same.I don’t know what I
