Amelia's P.O.V."Leave it, that's enough," I said to the makeup artist, who nodded and left the room.I stared at my reflection, gazing at the woman wearing a beautiful white dress adorned with jewels, and forced a smile on my face.That day, I was going to marry an alpha whom I had loved since childhood, but there was only one problem: he loved............I was harshly pulled back from my thoughts when my friends entered the room. "I'm so happy that you're marrying Alpha Elijah, the most powerful alpha," Nia said, raising her hand with joy.All my friends were excited to see me in the wedding dress.However, when they noticed the sadness on my face, Aliya asked me curiously, "You should be happy today, so why do you look so down?""Elijah is my best friend Sophia's mate. Marrying him feels like I'm betraying her," I tried to keep my eyes neutral, but I'm sure they caught the fear in my eyes.“But how can you forget that you used to love Elijah, and life has given you another chance
"Please, I beg you, don't do this to me," I pleaded, my hands folded in desperation. But there was no mercy to be found in his eyes."You may be afraid now, but you will witness even more horrifying things in the near future," he said, pressing my cheek tightly, causing me pain."I enjoy seeing the fear in your eyes. It makes me want to grasp your neck and slowly twist it, watching your life slip away. But I won't do it. I want to make you suffer slowly," he added, his anger evident in his eyes and his tone carrying a sadistic quality.I couldn't comprehend why he was so filled with rage.Suddenly, Elijah burst into laughter. "Don't look behind you, or else you will shatter," he said, a sense of relief evident on his face as if he had triumphed in a great battle.As I turned my gaze, I witnessed the lifeless bodies of my pack, but my heart shattered when I saw my mother falling to the ground, struggling to breathe."Release me, let me go to my mom!" I struggled against Elijah's grip,
I was left speechless upon hearing Elijah's words. It meant that Sophia had been pregnant, a revelation that shook me to the core. The pain in Elijah's eyes was evident, realizing that in a single night, he had lost both Sophia and their unborn child. I couldn't fathom the fact that Sophia had kept her pregnancy a secret from me, especially considering how we used to share everything. I couldn't help but suspect that there was a conspiracy at play, something I was completely unaware of.Tears streaming down my face, I couldn't contain my emotions any longer. "I am deeply sorry for the loss of Sophia's baby, but what fault do I have in all of this?" I questioned, my voice choked with sorrow.Elijah's response sent shivers down my spine. "You are responsible for everything. It's because of you that I lost my child and mate. But you will restore what I have lost," he declared, his haunting blue eyes filled with burning rage.Dread filled me as I trembled, unsure of what Elijah was insinu
As soon as I turned around, I spotted my friend Mrunali standing there. Thank goodness she's here. I'm certain she'll believe me. I hurried towards her and embraced her tightly."Look, Mrunali, everyone is accusing me of being Sophia's murderer." However, Mrunali didn't return the hug, instead, anger was written all over her face."What's going on? Why are you looking at me like that?" I tightly held her hand, but she jerked it away harshly. I stood there, bewildered, unable to comprehend what was happening."You're the cause of all this trouble. Because of you, I've lost my sister." With those words, she slapped me hard across the face."You've killed my sister and her unborn child," she accused, her eyes blazing with anger. Why is everything going wrong? Why is everyone treating me like this?"It's all a lie. Sophia meant everything to me. How could you even think that I would harm Sophia or anyone else?" I pleaded, attempting to reason with her.But Mrunali remained there, clenchin
I desperately tried to shield my naked body from Elijah's predatory gaze, but he came dangerously close, and my breasts brushed against his chest. A surge of unfamiliar sensations coursed through my body, unlike anything I had ever experienced before."Now, tell me, Amber, do you love me?" Elijah's velvety voice weakened my knees, and his gentle caress on my breasts forced my eyes to shut in pleasure. It was all so wrong, yet at the same time, it felt inexplicably right.When Sophia and Elijah got married, I believed I had expelled all traces of love for him from my heart. But standing so close to him now reignited the buried feelings within me."Say it, Amber. Do you love me or not?" Elijah tenderly stroked my cheek, his touch attempting to confuse my heart, and it was working.Elijah's touch drove me wild, and I became aware of what was happening. His fingers danced across my neck and teased my nipples, leaving me unabashedly aroused and unable to think clearly."Elijah, please stop
Elijah stood in the doorway looking very angry. Seeing him, I pushed myself tightly against the bed seat, scared that he might take my china again. Elijah stepped forward, and his eyes were on Danielle. "I asked you something, what were you doing here?" he asked."Alpha, I just came to check up on Amber," Daniel said in a serious tone.Elijah angrily glared at Danielle, and I felt very worried that Elijah might get angry and harm Danielle. Eliza said angrily, "Only ladies can come here, and you should not see me here from now on.""You may leave now; I want to have fun with my mistress."On hearing this, my eyes filled with tears. I still hadn't forgotten what happened to me last night, and Elijah wanted to tarnish my honour again. My heart thumped loudly, and I wanted to run away, but where should I go?Daniel looked at me with pitying eyes, but there was nothing he could do, no one defies Alpha. Daniel left me alone with Elijah.Elijah looked at me and said, "How are you feeling? I
I sat trembling in the corner, filled with fear. Suddenly, the truck opened, and to my astonishment, there stood Daniel before me. I asked in surprise, "What are you doing here, and why did you bring me?"Daniel stepped inside the truck and held my hand, saying, "I couldn't bear to see you in pain, so I brought you here."My senses were overwhelmed, and I panicked, saying, "Do you realize what you've done? Elijah won't spare both of us."Daniel took a deep breath and replied, "We'll handle all of this calmly. Trust me."Shaking my head, I protested, "I won't go anywhere with you. You have no idea what kind of trouble you've brought upon yourself and me. Take me back to the Pack House before Elijah ruins our lives forever."Daniel gazed at me for a long moment, and I thought he understood my point. But then, unexpectedly, he lifted me into his lap. Anger boiled within me, and I fiercely hit his chest, demanding, "Put me down!" I kept shouting, but Daniel paid no heed and carried me out
Elijah approached me, his presence sending shivers down my spine. My hands instinctively came together as I met his gaze, my heart racing. "Elijah, I'm truly sorry. I've made a grave mistake. I won't ever attempt to leave you, but I beg you, spare Daniel's life," I implored.My pleas seemed to stoke the fire of Elijah's anger. He clenched his teeth, his frustration evident. With a swift motion, he gripped my hair and forced me to stand.His voice, laced with a chilling intensity, cut through the air, "Remember this, Amber. There won't be another chance for escape. The punishment I have in mind will etch itself into your memory."His words instilled a deep sense of unease within me. I dared to meet Elijah's gaze and saw a fierce determination to destroy me. Abruptly, he shoved me, causing me to tumble into a corner. The force of his push left my elbow bleeding, a stark reminder of his power.Daniel's half-opened eyes glistened with tears as he looked at me. His voice quivered, yet he m
