(Ryan's POV)I was proud of how I'd handled the whole date situation, despite not being very good at romantic gestures or discussing how I felt and I was confident that Amber understood just how much she meant to me."Of course she does! Otherwise she would never have agreed!" My wolf chuckled happily, his chest puffing out in pride."I still don't like the thought of bringing her with us right now," I sneered, "Last time he was anywhere near him, his eyes spent more time ogling her tits than they did paying attention to what he was supposed to be talking about with me.""Well, it was your decision to utilize her feminine assets and use them for your benefit. You can't be pissed that she did exactly what you wanted.""I'm not pissed with her, I'm pissed with his lecherous eyes and the thoughts that I know have been swirling in his head since he saw her last." I snarled furiously, "She's ours. I will not share or tolerate another man thinking of her in that way.""I hate to break it to
(Amber's PoV)I knew that he wouldn't leave without one more attempt at getting me to leave with him and as he paused at the doorway and cast one last look of longing towards me I felt Ryan tense beside me."You know, if you ever change your mind or your Alpha here messes up, you'll always have a place at my side." He grinned lopsidedly as a furious roar reverberated through the air."I don't know who the fuck you think you are, but there's not a chance that I'll let you leave this room alive if you carry on attempting to steal my Luna. She is MINE!""Amber is her own person. You can't own a person Alpha…this is why I hate pack life and precisely why I built my mercenary empire." He shrugged cockily as he leaned on the doorframe, utterly unbothered by Ryan's fury."You fucking.." he snarled, taking a step towards him."Ryan please.." I said softly as I placed a hand on his chest, "I have no issues being his friend but I need you both to stop this."Ryan bristled slightly but the furio
As I opened my eyes the next morning, I realized almost instantly that Ryan had made good on his promise. I winced as I tried to turn over in bed and much to my dismay, even this simple movement made my body scream in protest. When I finally managed to turn to the other side, my heart sank in a sort of bittersweet disappointment.The place where Ryan should have been was empty and by the feel of the cold sheets next to me as I ran my hand over them, he had clearly been gone for some time. I sighed internally and threw the covers back as I sat up, gritting my teeth as I tossed my legs over the side of the bed.“Don’t be too sad Amber,” Rae soothed, “He has a busy schedule, you know that.”“I know, I just…it was stupid of me to hope for something a little more. Is a ‘Good Morning’ from him too much to ask?”Rae whined in response to the sadness that pricked at my chest before suddenly she began showing a lot of interest in the bedside table in front of me..“Wait! Look! He’s left you a
After a much needed and refreshing shower, I decided to visit Lily. I still hadn’t managed to successfully choose a dress for the party tomorrow and whenever I asked Ryan for his advice on the designs we had been sent, he insisted that everything was far too revealing and not acceptable in the slightest.I quickly decided that in future, I wouldn’t ask him for his advice because he was clearly bordering on moon-mad with his irrational behavior towards how much skin I was showing. Lily was the closest person that I had to a friend and it seemed like a good alternative for me to seek her opinion.As soon as I entered Lily's room, I found her amidst a chaotic sea of dresses, carefully inspecting each one with frustration written all over her face.“Wow.this is quite a collection!” I gasped as she turned to me and her face lit up in a smile.“I know! The designers just keep sending them and I can’t forward them on to you until I’ve made sure that there’s no faults with the needlework or d
Lily's PoVThe way my heart was hammering in my chest, I felt certain that Tom must be able to hear it and it was doing nothing to calm the flush on my cheeks that bloomed of its own accord.“Is everything okay Lily?” He asked and the way my name sounded on his lips sent a pleasurable shiver down my spine.I was terrified that if I spoke out loud while my emotions were raging this way, that he would instantly know just how much I craved him, so I simply nodded and offered a weak smile.I could feel Amber’s questioning gaze on me but I tried my best to ignore it. She wasn’t stupid, I’m sure that she would figure it out pretty quickly, but I trusted her not to say anything.“I wanted to ask you about your brother, actually,” Tom said as he took a step closer and I stiffened, causing him to rub his neck uncertainly at my reaction, “Has he given you any more trouble?”I shook my head and forced my emotions down so that my voice wouldn’t betray me.“No, he’s left me alone mostly since Ambe
Ryan’s PoVI stood under the running water of the shower with my cock clasped tightly in my hand as I pumped my fist furiously.The image of Amber’s body underneath me tormented me in ways that I couldn’t describe and it was all I could do not to tear her underwear off and bury myself inside of her.I wanted to silence those pretty little moans and thrust my cock into her mouth, feeling her silky lips clamp down on the edges of my cock as her tongue caressed me, but I knew that there was no way that she was ready for the majority of dark desires that flooded my mind whenever I thought of her.I shuddered as my climax neared and I braced myself on the wall as my hips thrust into my tight fist, the image of her tight little holes clear in my mind and as I released my seed against the wall with a stifled grunt, I knew that tomorrow, after the party was done, I was going to fuck her into submission whether she liked it or not.I stood a few moments more under the hot streams of the shower
Ryan’s frown remained in place as we made our way past the guards that lined the walkway and up the red carpet that lined the stairway, following it into the entrance hall. As soon as we found a spot to wait for the Herald to announce our arrival, Ryan leaned forward to murmur into my ear quietly.“Is this something I should be concerned about?” He asked cautiously, but I just smiled up at him secretively.“I don’t think so. Let’s wait and see how things play out. I don’t want to embarrass myself if I’m wrong.”Ryan pursed his lips, but didn’t press the matter which I was grateful for. I didn’t want to put either Tom or Lily into a difficult position if I was wrong, it might make things uncomfortable for them if my suspicions got back to them.It wasn’t long before various dignitaries began to make their way over, introducing themselves to us and welcoming me into their circle.I knew I was under scrutiny tonight and I had every intention of showing my best side to everyone here. Yet,
Amber’s PoVAs soon as the guests had all been accounted for, we were ushered through to the performance hall in preparation for the talent show that had been arranged in honor of the prince’s birthday.‘A little warning would have been nice,’ Rae hissed in annoyance as I made my way to my allocated seat.‘To be fair to the Alpha King and his Luna, they arranged these celebrations earlier this year. If you think about it logically we were a late addition to the guest pool. We haven’t been mated to Ryan long, and it probably never occurred to them to ask us to participate at such short notice.’ I answered as I tried to appease Rae.She was still riled from the confrontation with Anna and uneasy that Ryan had disappeared off to discuss business matters with a few other Alpha’s. He had assured me that he wouldn’t be long and Lilly had been at my side, but for some reason, she had been seated at the far end of the hall. Sitting alone in my seat with no one else seated near me left me feel
