Levi's POV"Alpha Levi," says Elliot, entering my studio. "This came for you."He holds out a sealed envelope. I open it at once, trying to decipher the scent wafting from the envelope. I know this scent, I think, but right now I can't remember from where.Elliot sits across from me as I open the envelope. He looks up from his cell phone for a moment and notices my serious and curious expression."Everything okay?" he asks with a raised eyebrow.I nod.Inside the envelope are a series of photographs. They are pictures of letters with dates ranging from the present day and up to almost two months ago. About the time Amber and I were married.In fact, the letters appear to be from her. At least, this appears to be her handwriting. In all the notes, some long and some shorter, Amber explains in detail to Sebastian how much she misses him.The messages are clear. Amber complains about our marriage. She explains how she gave in to her lust purely out of spite, but now feels

Amber's POVThe aroma of breakfast climbs into the room, causing my eyes to widen from hunger. I feel myself turn in bed and grumble that Levi is gone.Evidently, if it smells this good it's because he's cooking. Only he has the ability to make the room smell like a five-star restaurant.So I yawn and slowly stand up, watching the sun, which rises through the drawn curtains. I pull them aside and gaze in fascination at the sea, which seems infinite through the windows. The sun is high in a radiant blue sky; the sand is so white it almost looks like snow."Are you coming down for breakfast?" Sophie's voice says behind me, after knocking twice and slowly opening the door.She's wearing a rock band T-shirt and plaid pants that are too big for her. Her short dark hair is tousled and she's holding a cup of coffee in her hands, which she hands to me as soon as I approach her."Yes, please," I answer.I take a sip of the coffee, which is perfect, and hold my friend's hand before

"How do I look?" I ask Sophie, turning slowly in front of her. I'm wearing a dress we bought this very afternoon, ideal for the occasion. It is an elegant champagne-colored piece. The fabric is sheer, but it is covered by hundreds of jeweled embellishments, so that it creates the illusion of nudity.To match with the dress, I wear diamond earrings that Levi gave me. I've put a lot of thought into my appearance tonight, as I want to make the best impression. And hopefully, I think I've succeeded."You look beautiful... More than that. You look perfect, Amber."Sophie comes up to me and fixes my hair, which falls straight down my back, down to below my shoulders. I look at her through the mirror and smile."You don't look bad yourself, Miss Pharrell," I tell Sophie jokingly, using Elliot's last name instead of hers. Sophie grimaces and sticks her tongue out at me, but then smiles."You'll impress everyone tonight," she says. "I sincerely hope so. I want to avoid the ru

"Do you think Rose would do something so despicable?" Sophie asks next to me."I don't know. Honestly, at this point I don't know what to believe about her. She's shown me a whole new side to her personality," I affirm. Sophie looks at me with a sour look on her face."I always thought she was a little envious of you. But this... Is just too much."I nod, letting my eyes wander to the clouds dancing through the window far below us.After last night's big party we have decided to finally return to Alaska. After spending two weeks away from home the longing on Levi's face is almost evident. I myself have enjoyed the beach and this well-deserved vacation immensely, but I am homesick. I feel like it's about time to go back.Luckily, we'll be there soon. The trip has been long and I am exhausted, but it has given me a chance to update Sophie on everything that has happened. While Levi discusses pack matters with Elliot and Andrew, we take the opportunity to draw conclusions abo

"Are you sure about this?" Levi asks next to me.He is leaning against the door frame, hands inside his pants pockets and a serious look on his face.I nod confidently."I am. It's the best way.""You don't have to face it alone. We can do this together," Levi affirms, taking my hand.I smile at his obvious concern."First of all, Rose was my friend. I need to know why she's been acting the way she has. Put an end to her. Alone.""I understand."Levi kisses my hand softly. I caress his face."I will come home soon," I promise.He doesn't respond, but puts his hand on my waist and pulls me against his chest. The pressure of his lips finds mine easily.His eyes are heavy with promise. I smile and turn my back to him, pulling the keys to the sports car from my purse.I'm on my way to see Rose. I've finally decided that today is the day to confront her. I've planned with her to meet at lunchtime at a place we used to frequent a lot. The terrace is completely private
