Warning: This book has high sexual assault displays, but does not support any form of rape. I, Alpha Edward Parker, swear that I will keep you tied to me until I make you pay for what you did to my mate," he swore, gripping my chin in a bruising hold. “Not only will you wish for death, but you will beg for it, and it will be too far from you.” I could feel the eyes of the whole pack on us. They probably came to experience a normal wedding, but that couldn't be further from the truth. I was being married off to a groom because he wanted revenge. Tears welled, and I wanted to scream, “I am your mate; I’m the one who saved you, not her.” But I knew no one would believe me. I was his mate, how could he not recognize me? Four years ago, Amanda happened to save a total stranger, but due to a string of misunderstandings, her sister took her place. The stranger then promised a vow of betrothal to his savior. Not seeing any use in correcting the error, Amanda allowed it. That was her biggest mistake because the stranger ended up being her own mate. Caught in a web of lies and confusion, she decides to set herself free by speaking the truth. But her plans are thwarted when her sister turns up dead, and she is pinned as the main suspect. A mate out to seek revenge for another, a forced marriage, an underlying plot, a web of lies, and many dark secrets. How can Amanda navigate all these without losing sight of herself? How will she speak the truth when she has already lost her voice and has been destroyed by her own mate?
View MoreAmanda’s POVI could see the stunned look on his face the moment I landed the slap across his face. I could see disbelief in his eyes as he stared at me, not believing I had slapped him. But I didn’t regret slapping him; in fact, I would do it again and again.“Can your apology bring back my mother?” I yelled with bitterness. “Will it be able to bring my innocent mother back to life?” I spat with anger as my whole body shook with pain. How dare he think of apologizing? How dare he think a simple apology could fix everything? He has practically destroyed my life, and nothing on earth could pay for that.“Your mother?” Alpha Edward furrowed his brow at me. He didn’t seem angry that I had slapped him like I had expected him to be; rather, he seemed confused. “What are you talking about?” He acted confused, and that fueled my anger even more.Clutching my fists, I glared at him. “Do you now suffer from short memory that you don’t remember ordering the killing of my mother?” I spat with ha
Alpha Edward's POV“What did you say?” I wanted to be sure I wasn't hearing wrong. The young man held my gaze and looked me straight in the eye. “Elisa wasn't the one who saved you in the woods; she told me herself.” He repeated his words, and I shook my head in disbelief. That was impossible. That cannot be. The men who rescued me from the woods told me her name was Elisa. I even took them to their house, and they pointed at Elisa, confirming it was she. Then why would he stand here and look me straight in the eyes, telling me Elisa wasn't the young girl who saved me? Grabbing him by the collar of his chest, I glared right into his eyes, anger boiling inside of me. “Are you trying to fool me?” I asked through gritted teeth. Maybe he was lying to me.“I'm not,” the young man said, shaking his head. “I'm telling the truth, Alpha. Elisa wasn't the one who saved you. She told me herself. Besides, I know Elisa very well. Elisa cannot see a wounded man in the woods and wants to help. Rat
Alpha Edward’s POVI stood there, stunned by his declaration. The words echoed in my mind, refusing to sink in. “What did you just say?” I demanded through gritted teeth, and the young man looked my way; his eyes blazed with anger. “You heard me correctly, Alpha Zach; that bitch was my mate!” He repeated his words, and I staggered back, shaking my head. “That cannot be,” I murmured in disbelief. Elisa was my mate; she was supposed to be my mate. That's what the seer said. She said my second mate was the young girl who saved me, and once I marked her, I would regain the voice of my wolf. I would have marked Elisa the day I saw her, but she was just fourteen, so I decided to mark her when she turned eighteen. On her birthday, when I arrived at their home, I felt a sudden aura the moment I stepped out of the car. Despite the quietness of my wolf, I knew the aura confirmed that Elisa was my mate. When I walked into the sitting room and met Elisa, I felt a sudden pull toward her, compell
Alpha Edward's POVI felt the bed creaking, which made me realize someone was getting into my bed. Getting alerted, I opened my eyes, yanked the figure, and slammed it on my bed while I hovered above it. Taking a better look, I realized it was Amanda, and my brow furrowed.“What are you doing…” My words got stuck in my mouth when she slammed her lips against mine for a passionate kiss. Responding to the kiss, I let go of her and deepened the kiss. She moaned in between, then suddenly pulled away. Our gaze interlocked, and she smirked at me.“Why are you here? I thought you were with your mate?” I murmured, with jealousy. She scoffed and wrapped her hands around my neck. “It is you I want, not him.” She flirted by licking her lips with her tongue. A throaty groan left my lips as I felt my dick jerk in anticipation“You said you didn’t want me, that you preferred him to me,” I murmured, and she smirked. “Are you jealous?”“No!” I answered though I knew it was a lie.“Are you angry?” She
Amanda’s POVHe seemed confused by my actions, but he didn’t push me away, which was a sign that he wasn’t against my offer. Wrapping my hands around his neck, I looked into his eyes and smiled. “You are not forcing me, neither am I doing it against my will. I'm willingly offering myself to you tonight; you can have me as much as you want,” I declared. I couldn’t believe I was actually doing this, but what is the harm in it? I would prefer Beta Matthew, a man who believes my words and wants to help me, to a mate who has caused me nothing but pain.I noticed he wasn’t making a move to touch me, but rather, he just kept staring at me, which gave me a clue that maybe he wanted me to make the first move. So I took off the blouse I was putting on and was left only in my bra. His eyes settled on my boobs for a second before he looked back at me. Smiling awkwardly at him, I went for the hook of my bra, but he suddenly got up from his seat, and I wrapped my legs around him while he carried m
Amanda’s POVWith terrified eyes, I looked at Beta Matthew, confused by what he had just done. My heart pounded in my chest as I watched Beta Matthew and Alpha Edward glaring at each other with eyes filled with anger. Fear gripped me, and I had to get down from the bed as I watched them exchanging daggering glares.“If you were not my beta and friend, I would have taught you a lesson,” Alpha Edward growled, and I gulped in fear.“I told you she is my mate. Why do you still go after her?” Beta Matthew spat angrily, obviously not bothered by Alpha Edward's scary look.“She is my wife!” Alpha Edward declared possessively.“A marriage that was based on lies and deceit. You forced her into marrying you,” Beta Matthew sneered.Alpha Edward groaned and clenched both fists. I could see that he was fuming with rage and was doing his best to control it.“Stay away from her, Alpha Edward. I have told you that she is my mate, and soon I will prove her innocence,” Beta Matthew warned with no atom
Amanda’s POVAt first, I didn’t care what they were doing; he was a monster, and I hated him. But as I watched, I began feeling a clench in my heart. Watching my mate, a man who is supposed to love, adore, and protect me, with another woman, moaning loudly in ecstasy was something I couldn’t endure, no matter how hard I tried.I tried to suppress my emotions, but I couldn’t. Instead, my eyes began brimming with tears. When I realized I couldn’t stay and watch anymore, I decided to leave, but he stopped me, paid the lady, and asked me to wait until he returned.I wished I could ignore his commands and leave, but I was scared of the implications of my action. Inhaling deeply, I wiped the tears on my cheek and composed myself. He didn’t deserve a single drop of my tears.A moment later, I heard his footsteps behind me, announcing he was out of the shower. He didn’t say a word to me, but rather, I heard movement around, and after a moment, he spoke. “Turn around,” his voice was low and te
Alpha Edward’s POVA knock came on the door of my room, and through the scent, I knew it was Amanda. “Come in.” The door opened, and she walked in before closing it. She looked confused as she stood at the door. “You sent for me,” she said, but I didn’t respond.The door of the bathroom opened, and Felicia walked out, totally nude. She seductively walked to me and sat on my lap while her hands were wrapped around my neck. I looked in Amanda's direction and could see confusion all over her face. She was probably confused about what was happening.“Take a seat on the couch,” I instructed, seeing her raise her brow. “Don't keep me waiting, Amanda, do as I ordered.” This time, she obeyed, leaving the door and taking a seat on the couch.“What is happening here?” she seemed confused.“Nothing much, just that I wish to entertain you, my dear lovely wife,” I smirked, and she frowned. “Excuse me…”“Keep quiet, Amanda, you are not allowed to speak,” she swallowed back her words.“Good. Like I
Alpha Edward’s POVIt's been more than an hour since she left, but her scent lingers in the room. What's more surprising is that she smells so different. A few weeks ago, she had this rusty, musty scent, but suddenly, she smells so fascinating. I couldn’t really place the scent, but it was alluring and fascinating. To get more of her scent, I lay on the bed and sniff the remnants of her scent, and god, it's turning me on. I could vividly feel my whole body reacting to it. “Fuck!” I grunted and left the bed. Pacing around the room, I began to wonder what was actually wrong with me. Why was I acting differently towards Amanda, a lady who killed my mate? Why was I not hating her like I should? For goodness' sake, she killed my mate! Why was I forgetting that all of a sudden? “Something doesn't seem right,” I grumbled to myself, and just then, a knock came on my door, and through the scent, I realized it was Matthew. “Come in.” He opened the door and stepped in. Our glances interlocked
