~Amara~“Your brother?I thought you were the only child to your parents,Dad.How come you have a brother?”I couldn't help it but ask.As far as I could remember,Dad told me that he was the only child to his parents.”He is my step-brother.You remember when I told all of you that my parent's marriage was arranged?''Dad asked and I nodded because I remembered clearly.He mentioned it to us when Blood moon alpha came up with an arranged marriage between me and his son.Dad looked so pissed off and said that he would never allow me to get into such a marriage because he grew up in one.“Before the arranged marriage between my mother and father,he had a mate and they were together for sometime.She was an omega and my grandparents couldn't allow their son to marry someone from a low class.”He paused to catch his breath.“And that is why arranged marriage between my parents happened.My mom came from one of the powerful packs.The two families decide to become one so that they could trade together

~Amara~I swallowed hard when I heard Nico's words, trying so hard to hold my sanity because I didn't want to lose it at the moment.I wanted to be stubborn like I have always been.“Don't be paranoid,Nico.”I said and my lips curved into a smile.Nico chuckled then sucked on his mark on my neck.I pressed my lips into a thin line to prevent a moan from escaping my lips.However,I couldn't help it but tilt my head to the side to give him more access to my neck.“I thought that someone didn't miss any of this.”He chuckled again and I couldn't help but groan at his words.Nico pulled away and a frustrated sigh escaped my lips.“Well,I think there is no need for us to do it if you didn't miss it.”He said teasingly and the corner of his lips curved into a smile.I know he was doing it on purpose just to frustrate me.When I looked into those green eyes,all I could see was lust and I knew he was trying so hard to suppress it as he played the little game that I had started.“I stopped by to check

~Amara~“Alpha is in the field.Hee is watching over the castle builders and taking care of the activities that is taking place in the field.”Beta explained to me and I nodded in understanding.“Thank you.”I flashed him a smile.He got back to whatever he was doing and I headed to the field to look for Dad.I asked a few warriors if they knew Dad's whereabouts and they showed me where he was.“Princess?”Dad looked surprised when he saw me and I smiled,”What brought you all the way here?Is everything alright?”He asked and I saw worry in those blue eyes.Even though Dad looked strong like always,I could see the exhaustion on his face that he was trying so hard to hide.I know he couldn't show his men that he was exhausted.He was trying to give them the courage to keep on going.Without a word,I wrapped my hands around Dad and he hugged me back.I had missed him so much.“Everything is fine,Dad.You don't need to worry about anything.”He relaxed when he heard my words.“However,I came all this

~Amara~Patricia looked so surprised when she saw Dad at the door holding flowers. I know she wasn't expecting him to come back early.“My love?”She said in disbelief and I could see the happiness in those green eyes which resembled Nico's.“I…I didn't expect you to come back home this early.I thought that maybe…you would come late just like the past few days.I remember you telling me in the morning that you had so much papers to take care off.What changed?”'Patricia asked Dad endless questions.I put on a straight face and pretended like Dad and I never had a conversation before I left the pack in the morning.I didn't want Patricia to find out that I was the one who asked Dad to come home early because she missed her so much.“Well,I have a lot to handle but don't worry about it.My beta will take care of everything.I informed him that today I would be leaving the office early.I know he can handle everything with the help of Nico and Luke.”Dad shrugged nonchalantly and gave the flowers

~Nicholas~“Nico,I don't want you to go any closer to Fernando.Who knows what he might try to do to you?”She became more worried.“He is not someone to be trusted,son.If he killed his biological dad and blood brother,what can he possibly do to you?He never wanted you even before he knew that you existed because you were an illegitimate child.”Mom paused to and heaved a deep sigh.I could feel the bitterness in her her voice with each word that escaped her lips.“He only acknowledged your existence because he lost his whole family that he valued so much.If not that,he would have never cared about you.I know him too well.He is only concerned if he has somethings to gain from it.He only wants to use you,son.I want you to be smart and never allow yourself to be used like a puppet.”My grip on the coffee cup tightened as my mother's words added up to the hate that I harboured inside my heart towards Fernando.I placed the cup of coffee that I was holding in my hands on the counter then I wa
