AMARA POV. He must have seen that I was afraid because he spoke to me softly. “I just want to talk.” He said as he took a small step towards one of the office chairs in front of his father’s desk and I felt my heart start to settle when he sat down. “I won’t hurt you, Amara. That I promise you.” He said and I slid down from the top of the couch to sit on the seat again. I swallowed nervously as I looked him over. He had his pants back on but not his shoes. He had put on his dress shirt again but didn’t button it up and his hard muscled abs were taunting me as he breathed while he sat there and I had to force my eyes back to his face. I had to take a breath because my face suddenly felt flushed and hot. “W- What are you?” I asked stupidly and to his credit he didn’t give me a sarcastic answer. “I am a werewolf, Amara.” He said and I swallowed. There was no jokiness in his demeanour and I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath as the truth of the situation started to sink in. “But how?”

ACE POV. To say that I barely slept is an understatement. I didn’t even come near my bed as I planted my ass in the chair in the bar lounge in the bottom of the house. I was very grateful to my grandfather for thinking of this. A lot of our young wolves tend to reach a rebellious stage and want to sneak about to the human bars and what not and then a fight usually occurs, putting out kind at risk of exposure when the wolves try to show off in front of the human girls. So instead, they can come down here and blow off some steam and if they want to fighting, they can brawl their heart out on the training fields. There are still the few that sneak off though, but if caught then they are punished. Punished! That is what Coal should be getting! Punished. I thought and I felt Coal stir for the first time since I chased him to the back of my mind when he tried to take his chance with Amara. ‘I’m not going to apologize, Ace.’ Coal said and I huffed angrily and audibly at him. ‘Whether or no

AMARA POV. “Wood?” I heard Ace’s voice behind me and Alex and I simultaneously turned around to see my shirtless husband standing in the doorway of the house. My eyes travelled over his sweaty chest and I swallowed. Why did he have to look so hot this morning? My brain stilled. What the hell did I just think? I realized with a shock and I looked away from the smug look that he had on his face. It was as though he knew exactly what I was thinking but luckily Alex’s voice came to my rescue. “Milton.” Alex greeted back. Alex briefly glanced at me before he stepped towards Ace and stuck out his hand. “Congratulations with the wedding.” Alex said and Ace raised an eyebrow. He too briefly looked at me before he reached out and took Alex’s hand. “Thank you.” He said and they released their hands. “I would have congratulated you two earlier but this whole situation kind of caught all of us off guard.” Alex said and I groaned internally but Ace smirked at Alex as he came to stand next to me a

AMARA POV. It has been a few days since we missed the flight to our honeymoon due to Lena showing up and the breakfast with Alex. Since our talk, Alex and I have resumed our sister and brotherly relationship and I was beyond grateful for it but Emily wasn’t. Apparently, she threw a hissy fit and threatened me with a phone call to stay away from Alex and before I could tell her to go to hell, Alex had snatched the phone out of her hand and apologised before cutting the line. It wasn’t long before Alex phoned back from his own phone and said that he and Emily had broken up and although I was sad about it because they were high school sweet hearts like Jared and I were, I couldn’t help but feel like it was better this way. Emily was letting her anger towards me for dumping her brother, get way out of control and the biggest mistake she did was trying to tell Alex what to do.  It warmed my heart when he told me that he chose me over her and that if she didn

AMARA POV. “Jared Turner?” A voice spoke behind us. I looked back and my eyes nearly popped out of my skull when I saw my former fiancé standing slightly turned away from me. “Yes, and this is my date, Claire. My sister gave me tickets as a birthday present and I couldn’t resist in coming out tonight.” Jared said. A shot echoed through me. Oh God. I have completely forgotten about his birthday and I have never missed it before. He was smiling at that Christine woman that just photographed us. My heart beat furiously when I saw that he held an arm around… was that, Claire!? I thought to myself as I studied the black-haired girl that smiled happily at his side. She was at school with us and always told me how lucky I was and that she wished that she had a boyfriend like Jared and so on… looks like she got what she wanted, I guess. I watched the man I loved and cherished deeply that I had hurt so badly, his arm around Claire's waist and he smiled at her before he kissed her for the ca
