All Chapters of Fated to my One Night Stand: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

~Amber and Axel’s POV~~Axel~The words landed and I just stared at her.The silence stretched between us, heavy and airless, and my mother stood in the middle of it with her hand pressed flat against her stomach and her eyes still watering, and I could not find a single thing to say that was not sharp.So I said the sharp thing.“How the hell did you let yourself get pregnant for him again?”~Amber~“What the hell?” The words flew out before I could stop them. “They cannot do that.”“They can.” My father’s voice was tight in a way I had never heard before. “The Council has the authority to call a Succession Hearing when they deem the heir unfit, and after yesterday—”“Like I said in that vow,” I cut in, “I am never going to apologize for being myself. But when the time comes I will be the best leader this Realm has ever seen.” I held his gaze. “You are King. You have authority over every person in this Realm. They cannot hold an Emergency Succession Hearing if you refuse to sanction

~Axel’s POV~The first thing that came back was the pain.Not gradually. All at once, like my body had been waiting for my brain to catch up before it sent everything through at the same time. My ribs. My shoulder. The left side of my face where something had connected during the roll. It came in waves, each one worse than the last, and I lay there suspended upside down against the seatbelt for a moment just breathing through it then I reached for Ash.But like what had to be becoming an irritating pattern, I got nothing. I tried again, harder this time but if it was possible, I got less than nothing so with that irritation curling up into anger, I shoved at the door and felt the metal groan but hold.“I couldn’t just get a whole twenty four hours without some bullshit could I?” I snapped at whatever could be the recipient of my anger before bracing my back against the seat, both feet against the door, and pushed until something in my ribs screamed in protest but the door finally

~Amber’s POV~I had expected grovelling.And for clarity, it was going to be on my path after I had decided to find him, swallow my pride, and ask him to stand before the Council in seven days and tell them that I was fit to be future Queen of the Realm.Or if he wouldn’t make me grovel, he would bring up what he had said last night, which I knew was the absolute worst time to be thinking about but my brain did not care about timing. And he would push. He would use it. He would try to get me to give in.Which would be so wrong but in full honesty, with how the need to clench my legs together kept hitting me as I tracked his scent through the corridors, I knew it would take very little push for him to get his way.But no.I physically had to shake my head to stop the thought.The only thing I should be focused on was how I would swallow my pride and ask him to help me when the time came. And I would use him ambushing me with that pushy Rosella as one of the reasons he owed me. Alongsi

~Amber’s POV~“Take a mic, Amber. Tell us what happened after the day of your mating ceremony.”“Alright.” I said, collecting the metaphorical mic. “But for it to have the full effect I would have to start from the night before, where my mate, in quote, told me that we should fuck and get on with it even though in a year we would go our separate ways. Because did I mention that all of this was a contract?”I paused for dramatic effect.“And then the next morning I had been ambushed out of bed by his personal assistant, because of course he was a billionaire, who was named Rosella but let me tell you there was nothing rosy about her. I then proceeded to learn afterward that I might lose my birthright and the only way to stop it was for that said mate to help me. So I had gone to find him, only to discover that he hated his mother so much that he had put his claws through her neck and she might die. And then the final cherry on top, his father, who was an even bigger asshole than my mat

~Amber’s POV~“So that is it then?” His voice came from behind me. “That is your solution? You are going to throw a tantrum?”I was already walking past him but my head whipped back in his direction and in an instant everything gave way to anger. But I pushed it out through a veil of calmness that took more effort than anything I had done all day.“I am not throwing a tantrum. I am giving you and everyone else what you want.”“And is that what you want, Amber?”“What I want is for you to leave me alone.” I kept my voice level even though nothing inside me was level. “I have been through a lot and it is not even ten o’clock yet. So with due respect, King Roland,” I let the title land with its full weight, “excuse me. I would like to rest.”“So that you can have the energy to go out there and stir up another issue.” His voice had gone quieter when he spoke again and somehow that was worse than the shouting. I glared at him. “I already abdicated. What more do you want from me?”“What I
