AmberIt feels odd walking into Magic Academy. This is where I will finish my degree and where I will take additional courses because, let’s face it: I rather not spend too much time at home. I intend on avoiding Alex Lycania like the goddamn plague because that guy has the ability to hurt me by just opening his stupid mouth....it just sucks that Alex seems to be a superstar on campus. There is a whole wall committed to him. He is apparently the team captain of the Lycanball team, The Hellwolves—a real original name right there for a sports team that is entirely made up of Lycans. I rolled my eyes so far into my head the first time I heard it that I, for one second, feared I would end up blind. Sighing to myself, I reach down into my backpack to pick up my laptop. I’m hanging out on the bleachers of the Lycanball stadium. Alex is running on the field below, and while I know I shouldn’t be watching him, I’m very attracted to his muscles and shirtless torso. Not coming here to study w
AlexI hate parties. In my opinion, they are a huge waste of time. I’m the Lycan King and the Alpha of my pack—I should be helping my Beta, Zeke, do paperwork at home. Or train with my warrior Lycans with my Gamma, Sebastian. Even the gym would be time more well-spent.The only thing besides Alpha work I have time for is Lycan ball since I plan for that sport to turn into a career. It also helps me keep muscle mass.But this?This is just misery!I sigh to myself and run my hand through my wet hair. I barely had time to shower after practice since Amber’s new friend, Emma, was stressing so much. She kept telling Amber that we needed to go if we didn’t want to stand in a party queue for free beer, and so here I am, sitting on a chair at a freaking frat party. Could I get any more miserable?“Are you having fun?”I look up at Amber. She is almost as tall as me sitting when she is standing. Utterly adorable. But what is less cute is that she is holding a red plastic cup filled with who-k
Amber“We are sooooo lost, Alex...” I hiccup and smile at the large and beautiful Lycan walking beside me through this very creepy labyrinth. He scowls down at me with wrinkles forming on his nose.“We are not lost.”Laughter bubbles up in my throat. “We are.”“No, we are not.”I just giggle and lift my chin, keeping my eyes on Alex’s face. He is so damn pretty...would he mind if I just lifted up his T-shirt and licked his abs for one hot minute?“What?” Alex barks when I beam up at him. “Why are you looking at me like that?”“Because you’re so pretty,” I say in a baby voice that I hope he finds cute. I want Alex to like me.But much to my disappointment, he rolls his eyes at me and mutters, “You’re so drunk...”“Maybe…”Despite Alex’s attitude, I don’t stop smiling as I follow him. He is walking really, really fast, though. I have to take two steps at a time to keep up with him, but I’m struggling right now and almost fall head-first over a root that sticks up from the ground. Luckil
Amber “Can we really trust this guy?” Alex grumbles while we follow the drider through the green, woodsy labyrinth. “I would assume so,” I try not to fall and glance between Alex and the path. “I mean, the drider could easily change back into his terrifying spider form and kill us, but he hasn’t done that, so I would assume he is trustworthy.” “I am very trustworthy and not deaf,” the drider turns around and glances between us. There is a white fang sticking out of his mouth when he smiles. He reminds me of a vampire with his pale skin and long dark hair. “And my name is Edison. I’m a person, just like the two of you.” “A person that loves to eat Lycans and werewolves for breakfast...” Alex mutters. “And humans,” Edison helpfully adds but catches himself when we both stare at him. “Err...I won’t eat you since you saved my life, but I do love to eat little critters,” he strokes his stomach. “Feels good in the tummy…” I look down at his stomach and then up at his face. “Should we
AmberAlex, Edison, and I emerge from the maze world, coughing as thick smoke assaults our lungs. We are back in the living room, but something isn’t right. Everyone is coughing, straining to see through the fog, and then staring at us with wide eyes as if not expecting us to be there.I don’t see Emma anywhere, but I see the guy with the hood. He is the one who wrote our names on the list and had us teleported to the maze. He is also the first to speak, shrieking and stammering, “Y-you’re back? But how? I-I didn’t think you would return—”Alex grabs the collar of his shirt before he can utter another word and lifts him off the ground. The muscles in his arms bulge, and Edison moves close to me.“By the Gods... Your mate is extremely powerful...” He says warily, eyeing Alex with newfound respect and even a bit of fear. “It’s perhaps fortunate he chose not to fight me within the labyrinth. He isn’t even in his purest form, yet he has the strength to hoist a man over two hundred pounds
Amber My stomach won’t stop churning. Alex isn’t acting like himself and driving at a scary speed through the traffic. He was always a big and scary guy, but he is colder now, more intimidating than ever. I regret picking the front seat. Why didn’t I choose to sit with Edison in the back? Alex drives past another car, and I sink into the seat, hoping I will survive the drive home. I wonder how Alex is going to treat me back at the mansion. I know that he doesn’t trust me since he doesn’t know whether or not I’m working with Alpha Ashlee. His cold attitude towards me is a way to protect himself and his heart, and I guess that, in a way, I can’t blame him. I’m not his enemy, but Alex doesn’t know that. “Guys,” Edison’s head is hovering over the middle console, and there is a big smile on his face. “These are simply...divine and delicious. What a delight! What delicacies could these be? Exquisite meat?” I raise an eyebrow at the bag of sour cream and onion chips in his hand and try
Amber“Sexually frustrate me?” I ask and cock my head to the side, disappointed because my husband is literally saying he won’t make a move on me. “So you won’t sleep with me?”Dark amusement crosses his face. He definitely knows how wet I am. How badly I want to rub my cunt against the bulge in his pants, but he doesn’t ridicule me. Doesn’t ask me what I really want. At least not with words, but his teasing eyes are a whole other story.They look at me like they know.“No, I won’t sleep with you,” his large hands are still on my back, still touching me while I sit in his lap. I want him to do more for me. Alex has the perfect body to be rough and sexy, but he just sits there, watching me with a smirk.It makes me groan. “What do you want from me?”“Isn’t it obvious?” he stifles a laugh by biting his lower lip, and even that is sexy. I swallow another groan and try to ignore how good he smells when he hugs me to him.“Nothing is obvious with you,” I say, and try to find a sitting posi
AmberI won’t be able to sleep like this. Alex is spooning me against his hard chest, the smell of citrus and bergamot warm in my nose since he just showered before joining me in my bed. His chin is on top of my head, and his arm is snaking up my entire belly while holding onto my nonexistent breasts. It really puts his size into perspective. My body is entirely swallowed by his larger one, and he is sound asleep. I swallow down a groan and wiggle my butt a little to get some more space. But the reaction I get is shocking. Alex is steadily becoming harder and harder. He even moans in his sleep. It’s such a sexy, exotic sound that my entire face flames. Gah, what am I supposed to do? My heart is racing, and it only worsens when Alex rolls us over, changing our position so I’m straddling him. Or more like I’m using him as a mattress since my legs don’t spread enough for me to touch the bedsheets. He is a thick boy. I don’t have enough strength to fight this. I’m ridiculously attracte
