All Chapters of Fated to my One Night Stand: Chapter 111 - Chapter 119

~Axel’s POV~I was not one for this and I did not think I would ever need to be, but seriously I was on the verge of gesturing with my whole body and saying from “where to where now?”But I did not do that.Instead I took him in with more focus than before and decided that I was done with that line of conversation entirely. So I pushed my aura out, letting him feel exactly what I was communicating without needing a single word, and I watched the unease flicker in his eyes again.This time it stayed.“Enough time has been wasted on irrelevant things.” I let my voice settle into something that left no room for whatever he had been doing for the last several minutes. “Like I said before. Sit down.”The smile had completely left his face. He sat down in the chair across from me and I got straight into it.“Thankfully, you being a know it all does have one advantage. Because yes, I asked for you to be found and brought here because I want something. And you owe me your life.” I held his ga

~Amber’s POV~Time was supposed to move slowly when it was fixated upon.But that was not what happened in my case. Because after that day in the office when I had looked into Axel Edgewood’s eyes and watched the blankness behind them echo louder than his words ever could, after I had felt every good moment between us obliterate into nothingness inside my chest, the days had blurred together.And in what felt like a blink, a total of one hundred and twenty two days had passed.I knew the exact number because I had spent every single one of them ticking it off. Counting down to the day I would never have to see Axel Edgewood again if it were to be by my will.“You get a kiss if you can guess where we are going after this.”Rosella’s voice broke through my thoughts and I looked up, meeting her cheeky grin from across the table.I rolled my eyes and realized that if I was given a penny for each time this woman made me do that, I would rival Axel’s net worth by now.“I told you to stop fl

~Axel’s POV~“Start talking.”The head warrior standing across from me was older than most of the men I commanded. Grey threaded through his hair at the temples, his posture was rigid with the discipline of decades, and his face carried the specific expression of a man who had failed at the one thing he had been put on this earth to do and knew it.“They came in the early hours, Alpha Edgewood.” His voice was steady but I could hear the fractures underneath it. “Between three and four in the morning. Through the eastern perimeter.”“How many?”“We counted twelve. Possibly more. They moved in coordinated units. Two to disable the perimeter wards. Four to neutralize the eastern guard rotation. The rest went directly for the King’s chambers.”“Directly.” I repeated the word and let it sit in the air. “Which means they knew the layout.”“Yes, Alpha.”“Which means someone told them.”He did not answer that. His jaw tightened.I took a step forward. “How did twelve wolves get through reinfo

~Amber’s POV~I didn’t know if I pulled away or simply pushed him the hell away from me and the rapid blinking started again even though my brain had caught up.Definitely because my brain had caught up.And I went through that same brain looking for some words, any word that would be a fitful reply for what he just told me while he stared down at me with a closed off expression.‘Come on Amber. Come on. You can do this, find your zeal to speak, find speech, find something.’“Are you fucking kidding me?”‘There it is.’The question came out so loud that for one imaginative moment, I could have sworn my father’s body actually stirred from how loud I was but it was all in my head.I didn’t expect him to answer because it was rhetorical.“No.”And there it was again, that damn two lettered word and the exact same way he had said it when he shot me down when I offered for us to do the exact same thing he had offered a night before, right before he told me that he would feel relief if he h

~Amber’s POV~“Jesus Christ, Tim, do you never ever fucking clean?” I snapped, kicking away the pile of no doubt dirty clothes from the floor to create a path through.He stepped out of the bathroom at that exact moment in a towel wrapped at his waist and shot me a look. “First off, what happened to the permanent break from cursing, and two, I have told you not to bring that tone in here. I don’t need that negativity clouding my space.”“I don’t have time for this, Tim. I need you to get the coin and put Roxanne’s bitchy ass right back into me and—”“Hey. Hey.” He cut in, crossing the room until he was right in front of me, taking my face into both his hands. “The worst kind of anger is the kind that comes from grief. So I need you to take a breath.”I closed my eyes at that, deflating, and did what he said.The moment I did, everything hit me without warning or mercy. My father’s still body. The kiss. His fingers. His complete blankness after. Me going on the attack to survive the m
