Amber’s POV
.
“Boss’s returning.”, The moment, these words came out of Ms. Potter’s mouth. I saw Lily’s eyes getting wide. I could tell that she didn't expect this or this was unexpected.
But she covered up her expression quickly and turned her head to look at me. “Come on. You need rest.”, She said. “And Ms. Potter, please send some snacks and juice to her room.”
“Sure.”

After changing my clothes and some snacks, I get into bed. During the whole time, I felt her eyes on me but I was grateful that she didn’t ask anything about the panic attack or say she was waiting for the right
Alexander’s POV.“You don’t behave like you when you talk with her.”, I heard Liam, my bodyguard cum my best friend speaking when I disconnected the call.“I know.”“So, this is your genuine feeling or you’re putting on some act.”“You know me, right?”“Yeah! That’s why it’s hard to believe that you fell in love at first sight.”“I don’t think it is love.”, I corrected him. “It’s just I felt something for her that I never felt for anyone or with anyone before.”, I added.
Amber’s POV . I stayed in bed, fighting with my mind and heart whether to call him or text him. I didn’t want him to think of me like a clingy or desperate person. I picked up my phone to send him a text when my phone dinged at an incoming W******p message. “Are you still awake?” I knew my typing speed was not great but still, I tried to reply to him as soon as possible. “No.” “Still you didn’t find it important to text me? :( What were you doing then?” “It’s not like that. I was about to text you. It’s just I didn’t want to disturb you.”, I quickly replied. I waited for a while for his answer but it never came. Instead, my phone started ringing, showing me the notification of a Video Call. Without thinking much, I swiped the screen and received the call. “Wow, you look so different.”, Was the first comment from him. Shit! My eyes widened in shock and my stomach dro
Alexander’s POV . “Bro, You should freshen up and also visit a sister-in-law once before getting back to work.”, Marcus said, placing his hand on my shoulder. I sighed, knowing he was right. I stayed up all night with my father, consulting doctors on his treatments and conditions. The doctor has no idea until now when he will be out of Coma. “Hmm. Keep me in the loop if anything happens.”, I said before picking up my blazer to leave from there. “Sure. And don’t forget to get fresh flowers and chocolates for my sister-in-law.” “But why?” “A small gesture to show that even though you are not able to spend time with her and even though you’re busy, she’s not totally ignored and she’s important for you.”, I rolled my eyes listening to his stupid explanations. When I was in the car, I thought over Marcus’s words. “Liam, what will make your wife happier, a diamond ring or flowers and chocolate
Amber’s POV . I lifted my head as I heard the door open and found his eyes holding mine. I gulped nervously thinking about our previous encounter as our gaze locked. His eyes scanned my body and then looked into my eyes and gave me a small smile. “What happened? Do you want to say or ask something?”, He asked, walking toward the wardrobe. He took out a gray color suit and a black color shirt. “How do you know that I want to say or ask something?”, I couldn’t help but ask. “It’s written all over your face.”, He answered, closing the wardrobe and placing the suit on the bed. I thought he was going to wear his shirt on his own but he surprised me when he forwarded it toward me. I took the shirt from his hand and unbuttoned
Amber’s POV . “It’s my friend’s birthday tonight and you are coming with me.”, Lily said, after disconnecting the call. “Really?”, I asked again in an excited tone to reconfirm. “Yes!!” I grinned knowing that I was going out after two weeks. Yes, two freaking weeks. And yes, it’s been two weeks since I had seen Alex. It’s not like Alpha or Luna used to allow me to go out. In fact, I had spent all my life in their home itself. I had never gone to any college or school. It’s just I learned everything when Samantha’s tutor used to visit home to teach her. He was a kind and generous person and he taught me all the basics of all the subjects for free. Coming back to the present, from the moment Lily started training me, I started feeling my wolf, who seemed to be fierce and loved her freedom. She was adamant to go out and see the outside world. I could tell that she could be anything but not like me. “But I don’t have any dr
Amber’s POV . Lily made sure to keep me beside her all the time at the same time, I too made sure to stick around her like a shadow. I had already found those werewolves in the party but I was not sure whether they were here just for the reason of having fun or had any hideous plan. I was surprised when I found that the birthday girl was herself a werewolf. I was sure she would have sensed my wolf as well. “Happy Birthday, Aurora.”, Lily wished her and handed over a small gift to her. “Thank you.”, She smiled but the fake one. My wolf could sense that. But her eyes were on me all the time. “Who’s this girl with you?” “Oh, sorry! Where is my manner! Aurora, she is Amber, my brother’s future bride, and Amber, she’s my best friend, Aurora.” “Happy Birthday, Aurora.”, I wished and glared at her, when Lily was not looking at me. “Thank you, Amber.” I was not sure but a part of me was telling that Aurora had an idea a
Amber’s POV . It didn’t take much time to find Lily and all thanks to my wolf for that. My body fumed with rage, fire burning through my skin when I saw two men were taking her someway while Aurora was the one who was guiding them. By smelling the aura, I realized that they had drugged her drink. I ran toward them but too late, they already left by settling in the car. I ran after the car but no matter how fast I ran, I couldn’t compare to the speed of the car. Even though I couldn’t see the car on the road, I ran like an idiot on the road. ‘I have to save her. I have to save her at any cost.’ I wished I could shift but I had no idea how to do that because I had never shifted before nor seen someone shifting in front of my eye for ages. I tried to focus my mind so that I could shift but nothing happened. ‘There is no other way than to run. Run as fast as you can because if you won’t then we will miss her scent as well.’
Amber’s POV . After checking everything I looked into my mate’s eyes, who were sitting on the couch. Blood was still dripping from his wounded knuckle but he didn’t give a damn about that because he was busy fuming in anger. Even though he was angry, I found him breathtakingly handsome. I was scared a bit because I knew I did wrong. That’s why I walked toward him, and his eyes didn’t leave mine. I stopped when I was within arm’s reach from him. “I can explain.” “Trust me, darling, you can’t.”, He replied in a cold tone. “I’m sorry for sneaking out without informing you. I really am. I know because of me you were worried and distressed but trust me, this fact didn’t come to mind at that time.” “That’s it, Amber? Didn’t anyone tell you how many unknown enemies are around us? The situation is getting out of control because of those dogs and leeches and you guys were planning to have fun. What the hell were you two thinking?”, He yelled an
