Amber’s POV
.
Without my mate beside my side. I was feeling scared and nervous at the same time especially when Marcus opened the door for me and finally, I had to hop out of the car.
I looked around my surroundings and my eyes were glued to my new home It was beautiful. There were foundations and a big garden to the front. So beautiful, big, and clean that I already decided that this was going to be my favorite place and I would spend all my time here whenever I would be free. This wasn’t exactly what I was expecting. I mean, his house was surrounded by greeneries unlike the houses in the city, surrounded by houses.
It was a white mansion that gave the illusion of a warm and peaceful home. I started following Marcus and then saw Lily standing near the door with her arms crossed against her chest.
“Hi fatso, what’re you doing here?”, Marcus commented when he saw her.
Fatso?
She looked like a model. I wondered why Marcus said Fatso to her.
“Just shut up, Marc. I’m in no mood to joke.”, She snapped, and then her eyes moved to mine. I gave a small smile to her but she didn’t return the same to me.
“Ms. Potter”, She called someone’s name and soon a lady in her late 50’s arrived there.
“Yes, darling.”
“Please escort Amber to the Brother’s room.”, Lily said, on which the eyes of that old lady widened.
“Is she…”
“Yes, She’s his bride.”
“OMG! She’s so pretty.”, Ms. Potter commented, making me blush. “Come with me, dear. I'll show you his room and will tell a lot of stories of your would-be husband, from childhood to this age.”, She added, getting excited.
I gave a polite smile to both Marcus and Lily before leaving from there.
‘Why were you so rude to her? You know that our brother is interested in her?’, I heard Marcus whispering in a serious tone.
‘I didn’t want to be rude to her but the fact that her presence will break our family is bothering me. And for your kind information, even I love Xander as much as you do. But there are a few things that I didn’t like about this girl.’
‘I know she’s too weak to be Xander’s match but no worries, we will have to bring her to his match.’
I knew that I wasn’t up to Alex's match and I had discussed the same with him so somewhere I knew that this topic would be raised by the others as well. I was glad to know that both of his siblings loved Alex a lot and were ready to accept me just for his sake.
“I am so glad that finally, Xander found someone for whom he really felt something..”, Ms. Potter said on the way to our room.
“I didn’t get you. What do you mean by that?”, I asked softly.
“Oh! Yes, you won’t be knowing this darling. But Xander never felt anything for any girl or woman. We were really very worried about him. At first, we thought he was gay and tried to hook him up with boys but then he revealed his this secret.”, She added with a smile. I couldn’t help but wonder about Alex's expression when everyone would have tried to hook him up with boys.
It’s hilarious.
“For how long you have been serving here, Miss Potter?”
“32 years.”, She replied. “I was a young girl just like you when I started working here.”
“You gave your whole life here. I’m sure you will be the oldest.”
“You caught that right, darling.”, She said and finally stopped in front of a room. She opened the door and we walked into a king-sized manly room. “This is your room until your new room gets ready. ”, She added to which I nodded my head.
“Now I would like to take leave. I have to prepare a lot of things for lunch.”
“Sure.”
***
I looked around the room and saw Alex’s most of the accessories were made up of silver.
‘Don’t tell me he’s fond of silvers because silver is dangerous for us.’, I thought and made a mental note to stay away from all those things which were made up of silver.
‘In that case, how are you going to open the door of the room or washroom? Because the knob of the door was made up of silver.’, My wolf mocked me.
Now I was sure that Alex was fond of silver and his fondness toward the silver might end up killing me.
After a few hours, I heard a knock on the door.
“Please come in.”, I thought it would be Ms. Potter who would have come here to call me for lunch but to my surprise it was Lily.
“I hope I didn’t disturb you.”
“No, not at all.”
“Perfect then. Here are the few dresses which I have bought for you as you need them.”, She said and dropped all the clothes on the bed from the bag recklessly. I looked at those clothes and then at Lily, wondering why she had brought these clothes for me?
“Don’t give me that look, Okay!”, She said in an irritating tone. “I’m already mad at you for stealing my brother’s heart just by showing your pretty and innocent face. But guess what, it won’t work on me.”, She added.
I gulped nervously thinking she was here to bully me just like Samantha.
“Whatever I am going to share with you is confidential so dare you to speak your big mouth in front of others. We live in a world where not just humans but Vampires, werewolves, witches, and many more creatures stay.”, My palms started getting sweaty when I heard her. “I know it is hard to believe but you will get to know about them soon. Especially after getting married to Xander because after Dad, he will be the leader of Hunter’s Clan.”
It took me a while to realize what she just said.
“We are hunters. We kill those monsters out there who don't have any right to live. In some of the cases, we even gave them to our scientists who do research on them.”
Moon Goddess got to kidding me!
The moment I had started thinking that my life would be better now, just then she dropped a bucket of cold ice on me.
“I don’t want Xander’s bride to be a weak and easy target for any werewolves or Vampires. And the fact that he already started liking you is not great because if anything happens to you then it will affect him and I don’t want that to happen. So, I’m going to train you.”, She said, throwing workout outfits on my face.
“Xander knows nothing about it so dare you to share the things with him. It won’t be good for you after all we will have to stay in the same house.”, She threatened, widening my eyes. Before she could have shared anything else, the phone started ringing.
I thought it was her until she threw an iPhone box toward me.
“Xander’s calling you. Answer him and Shhhh…”, She signaled to zip my mouth.
I nodded meekly.
Call me a coward, but I really didn’t want to mess with My mate’s sister when I already knew the result.

Amber’s POV . “Hey!!”, I heard my mate’s voice from the other side of the phone. I tried to calm down my stupid heart who had just pounding loudly. “Hi...Hi Alex”, I said in a low tone. For a while, I didn’t hear anything from the other side. “Hello…you there?”, I asked and looked at the mobile to check whether the call had been disconnected? “Is my voice audible to you?”, I asked again, thinking there would be some network problem. “Amber”, I heard his husky voice. The voice that made my breathing accelerate again. “Do you know that something just happened?” “And what is that?” “I fell in love with my name. When it rolled over lips I felt it it was named to be called by you.”, He said, making me clench my thighs. ‘Boss?’, I heard someone else’s voice near Alex. “I’ll call you later, okay?”, Immediately the tone of Alex changed. “Okay! Take care of yourself.”, I said with a heavy heart. “You too.”
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
