《FALLING FOR A HEARTLESS BETA》


 CHAPTER 1

    ***Amber¡¯s Pov***Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    I shivered when I heard Alpha Marcus¡¯s name. When I knocked on his door, he yelled from his room. But I had to go through it one more time in the hopes of getting pregnant and being free. The brown hair in a ponytail revealed the Alpha¡¯s face. He squinted and waved his hand at me as I approached the door, telling me not to waste his time. A gunshot wound on his handsome face left a long scar extending from just under his left eye to his thin lips and right nostril.


    ¡°What are you looking forward to? Undress right now!¡± He gave the order and then walked slowly towards the enormous bed. ¡°Hmmm,¡± he murmured as I approached, inhaling my scent.


    ¡°Come and satisfy me,¡± he said as he grasped my wrist.


    Despite knowing the Alpha was a jerk in bed, his rough treatment of my body surprised me! He grabbed me tightly, and I wiggled to free myself. He was more powerful, and he could do whatever he wanted with my body. I was nothing more than another omega, his sex ve and child-bearer. He was on top of me in no time, and my heart was pounding not from excitement, but from fear.


    ¡°I need you right now,¡± he said, roughening up my breasts. I couldn¡¯t stop him when his hands reached for the wetness between my thighs.


    I tried to ignore his touch, but as I closed my eyes, I remembered what happened to my sister and promised myself that I would not be like her. So I just let him have his way with me. For the time being, I gave up my body to him.


    His legs then nudged my thighs wide apart. Marcus, the Alpha, cocked his head and nted soft kisses between the hollows of my neck, all the way down to my breasts. His tongue moved closer to my belly andnded on it. I was too embarrassed to ask why he had suddenly stopped. His soft kisses had piqued my interest, and I didn¡¯t want him to go away. He could be harsh, but he was fantastic in bed at times.


    ¡°Do you like it?¡±


    ¡°Yes, Alpha,¡± I said quietly, averting my gaze from his.


    ¡°Mmmm,¡± he murmured, then remained silent.


    I assumed he was just trying toe up with a better phrase, but then he tasted me! As his tongue ravaged my wetness, I rolled my eyes back and purred softly. He was always saying how much he loved my scent!


    ¡°Oh,¡± I moaned softly as he licked my wet folds once more. He came to a halt and kneeled in front of me. I bit my bottom lip when I opened my eyes to see what he was doing. He aimed it at me, and while I expected it, I was surprised at how quickly he did it. We had done it before, but Alpha Marcus was enormous!


    ¡°Rx, darling,¡± he said softly before pressing his hardness against me.


    For the first time, he addressed me by name. It was always a whore, wench, or omega! I couldn¡¯tin when he called me names like that. Then he shifted our position, allowing me to take the lead. It was brand new! He was a domineering lover who never let mein about what he did to my body! I was taken aback by the sudden changes, but he licked my breasts before I couldin or even react.


    ¡°Fuck me,¡± he said, and when I refused, he yelled. ¡°Did you hear what I said? Fuck me!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m at a loss for words, Alpha Marcus,¡± I admitted. He was my first man, so I had no idea what he was saying.


    ¡°Like this,¡± he said, circling his manhood with my body.


    So he guided me by cing his hands on my slim waist. I was uneasy because of the gentle movements! I eventually figured out how to wiggle my hips around in opposition to his erection! As our bodies merged, he pped my ass and groaned loudly.


    I noticed a grin on his face. So I twirled in response to his abrasiveness. He groaned and tightened his grip around my waist as I increased the speed. I wondered why I tried so hard to please him, but perhaps I was hoping for favors from him.


    If I said I didn¡¯t like it, I¡¯d be lying. It felt even better when Alpha Marcus joined our bodies on the headboard. He was given more ess to my breasts, and he quickly ravaged them. The pleasure I felt while he moved inside me was rivaled by the taste of his mouth. He took control of my mouth and kissed me softly. As he moved in and out of my body, I couldn¡¯t help but grab his neck for support. I thought I was going insane from the ticklish sensation. My body appreciated the pleasure he could give it.


    ¡°More! Don¡¯t stop!¡± He gave orders as we elerated.


    ¡°I won¡¯t stop,¡± I said, my voice quivering as I told him I wasn¡¯t going to stop fucking him. It was even more enjoyable than the previous time!


    As a result, he moved even faster. He went so deep, gasping for air, that I had to scream with joy. I wanted to scream his name, but I was too scared! When his body convulsed, I thought he was done, but he wasn¡¯t! Surprisingly, he stroked my cheeks before kissing my lips.


    ¡°Ohhh!¡± I moaned as he became sterner. His manhood pushed deeper into my flesh, but his eyes were closed!


    Until the collision of two passionate bodies was the only sound in the room!


    ¡°Faster!¡± I dared to ask him to hurry up because I was feeling liberated.


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    Then I yelled his name as our bodies rocked in unison. I let him fuck me harder than before when he imed me again. I was out of breath, but he was ravenous! Fortunately, my body could amodate his desires, so I just let him do everything. When Alpha Marcus had had enough of me, he smiled for the first time at me.


    After removing his manhood from my body, he said, ¡°Get dressed.¡±


    When I asked him about it, all he did was look at me and say, ¡°Shut up.¡± He looked at me condescendingly and reminded me of my position.


    I slowly retrieved my clothes and re-applied them. As I was tying my dress ribbon, someone knocked on his door. I looked at Alpha Marcus, but he told me to remain where I was. As he approached the door to open it, I overheard him speaking to a man, and my eyes widened in terror as Alpha Marcus let him in. In the pack, it wasmon for a man to share a ve, and I was terrified of being used by another man.


    ¡°Take her,¡± Alpha Marcus said, and he didn¡¯t even bother to look at me.


    ¡°Stop! I¡¯d like to know where he¡¯s taking me!¡± I demanded to know the truth, but Alpha Marcus pped me down. I immediately cowered in front of him because he¡¯s terrifying when he¡¯s angry.


    ¡°Please notify me as soon as possible,¡± Alpha Marcus said, and the man nodded in agreement.


    When I was taken into the VIP ward to be observed alone, I was shocked but not disappointed. It was customary for every omega to do so afterpleting the number of sexual encounters with Alpha Marcus.


    The room was basic, with only a single bed and a small table where I could eat. The clinic has several wards, and an omega was kept inside each room for observation. Inside my new apartment, I paced back and forth, nning an escape in case the pregnancy test came back negative.


    I was standing by the door when I heard footsteps approaching. I narrowed my eyes as I tried to recognize their voices, but they were men¡¯s voices. I pressed my ear against the wooden panel and listened, even though I didn¡¯t recognize their voices. They could be discussing something crucial that will allow me to flee as soon as possible.


    ¡°The alpha is infertile,¡± one of the men said, and because we were in the clinic, I assumed he was a doctor.


    I was surprised to learn that Alpha Marcus was infertile, which meant he couldn¡¯t get any omega pregnant! I was shocked to learn that my sister had died in vain. She wasn¡¯t supposed to die if someone dared to tell the Alpha that he couldn¡¯t impregnate a woman of any rank!


    My knees wobbled as I returned to my bed, and just as Iy down, the door opened, revealing a stern-looking man in a ponytail. He was attractive, but on my first day in the ward, I didn¡¯t pay much attention to him. However, it appeared that I needed to do something to gain my freedom. I waited until he was close enough to grab him, and then I grabbed him.


    ¡°What are you up to?¡± He asked, surprised, as he tried to get away from me. I couldn¡¯t let that happen after discovering that all omegas were doomed from the start!


    ¡°Make love to me,¡± I said quietly, keeping our eyes locked together, and before he could respond, I took his hands and ced them on top of my breast. He was speechless, but I was desperate.

 CHAPTER 2

    ***Amber¡¯s POv***


    ¡°Make love to me,¡± I said again, and he blinked several times. He probably thought I was crazy, but I was insanely desperate to get pregnant. ¡°I heard you earlier that Alpha Marcus is infertile,¡± I dropped the bomb carefully so he couldn¡¯t say no to me. The information I obtained was top secret, and the Alpha would probably kill me for revealing it.


    ¡°Why?¡± He inquired, but then his gaze was drawn to me.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to die,¡± I said, unbuttoning my blouse at the same time. His gaze was drawn to my two mounds, and I could tell he liked what was in front of him. ¡°Make me pregnant,¡± was my request to him. It was a bold requesting from a woman with the lowest rank in the pack. However, I believed that in desperate times, desperate measures were required.


    ¡°Are you certain? Alpha Marcus will probably kill you once he finds out,¡± he warned, but I just shook my head, signaling that I didn¡¯t care.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take the chance. My life is doomed one way or another,¡± I told him.


    ¡°Fair enough,¡± he said, and then he assisted me in undressing. His fingertips then began to massage my breasts. He was gentler than Alpha Marcus, and his way of touching me was preferable. He then lowered his mouth to kiss each of them individually.


    When he caressed my softness, I arched my back. The way he kneaded them felt good to me, and I couldn¡¯t help but feel aroused. I purred with pleasure as he gently sucked them, and then he traced wet kisses on my skin, all the way down to my belly, where he lingered for the time being. I wanted to ask him why he paused for a moment, but before I could, his tongue was leaving wet kisses from my belly to the most intimate part of my body.


    His action rendered me speechless, and when he looked at my reaction, I was transfixed. He was such a lovely young man, and I wondered if he was also a wonderful lover. When I felt the tip of his tongue on my clitoris, I gasped in surprise. He licked my folds so hard I couldn¡¯t move. He seemed to be hungry for my flesh, and as he sucked on my clitoris, I felt like I was about to squirt or pee.


    ¡°Slow down¡­,¡± I begged him because the sensation was too intense, but he didn¡¯t listen. He licked my folds, teased my clitoris, and tasted me. I screamed with joy. His tongue was too much for me to bear, so I grabbed his head and clung to his hair.


    When everything became too much for him, he paused and asked, ¡°Does it feel good?¡±


    To respond, I simply nodded.


    ¡°Tell me,¡± he said. ¡°Does it feel good to you, Amber?¡±


    ¡°Y-yes,¡± I replied, and then pushed his head back a little to allow him to finish the task at hand. In response, he chuckled. ¡°I want more,¡± I said,pletely surrendering to him.


    ¡°Really?¡± He asked, and then he lowered his head to my wetness and pressed his tongue into my feminine folds, this time with vigour. He sucked my clitoris so hard that I almost passed out. It was too much for me to bear, so I screamed when he continued to do it. Ipletely lost control of my body. As much as I tried not to embarrass myself, I couldn¡¯t stop myself and squirted on his face.


    I couldn¡¯t imagine being happy and tickled all at the same time. To summarize, he outperformed Alpha Marcus. ¡°Please take me now,¡± I begged.


    ¡°Now?¡±


    He had the audacity to ask, so I simply nodded my head before he positioned himself to prate me. While trying to amodate his size, my mouth gaped open. I had previous experience with Alpha Marcus, but he was muchrger!


    When I was finally inside myself, I let out a deep sigh of relief. He took a breather and looked at me. I felt a connection with him when our eyes were locked on each other. My gaze was drawn to his arm, and the veins protruding from it were quite appealing.


    ¡°Ohhh!¡± When he started moving inside me, I moaned softly. Then he went deeper¡­ and deeper, but I couldn¡¯t take my eyes off him. I desired more because I was confident that I could handle him¡­ all of him!


    I couldn¡¯t help but moan every time he pushed it forward and then back. The rhythm and timing were fantastic, and it felt fantastic. My hands slowly reached for his back as his manhood sank deeper into my soft body.


    ¡°Look at me,¡± he said quietly, and our gazes returned to each other. It was especially intimate when he caressed my left cheek as if he were truly my lover. As we made love, we made some guttural sounds and didn¡¯t stop until our passionate desires were satisfied. When he said he was about to let go, I wrapped my legs around him. It was to ensure that none of his sperm was wasted.


    We remained in that position for a brief moment before I felt a strange tickling sensation as his manhood moved again. ¡°You¡¯re insatiable,¡± I said.


    ¡°And so are you, darling,¡± he smirked, knowing I¡¯d object if he took me again¡­ and again!Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    When he moved faster, I almost passed out from excitement. I yanked his hair and hugged him. We were horny as well as unstoppable! Despite my profuse sweating, I continued to wiggle my hips around his hardness. My screams filled the room, but it was his moan that sent me over the moon.


    I was ashamed of my actions after the deed waspleted, but it was already done. I prayed inwardly that our union would result in my pregnancy, or else something terrible and terrifying would happen to me.


    ¡°Now you¡¯re shy,¡± he teased, but I immediately averted my gaze away from him. ¡°Are you Miss Mcbride?¡±


    So it was Miss Mcbride again, and he no longer addressed me by name. He smiled, which made me feel better. ¡°I apologize. I¡¯m just embarrassed about the favor I asked of you,¡± I admitted.


    ¡°Don¡¯t feel bad about trying to survive. The Alpha simply needed an heir,¡± he exined.


    ¡°I understand,¡± I said, agreeing with his assertion that the Alpha desperately needed an heir.


    ¡°He used to have a son, but the child vanished several years ago after he killed his Luna,¡± he abruptly mentioned a conspiracy or rumor theory. Since I was a child, I had heard numerous stories about the Alpha being abusive and harsh to his Luna, eventually killing her. However, it could simply be hearsay or gossip.


    ¡°What do you mean he murdered the Luna?¡± I inquired, but he only smiled and stood up to gather his belongings. He was getting ready to leave!


    ¡°I¡¯m going to meet another client now, Miss Mcbride,¡± he said as he walked towards the door, not even bothering to look at me. I wanted to call him, but he had already left.


    Before getting out of bed, I let out a deep sigh. I went to the window, opened the drapes, and gazed out the window at the greenery outside. The manicured garden was lovely to look at, and I crossed my arms across my chest as I gazed at the blooming flowers. I prayed so hard inside to be blessed by the Moon Goddess.


    I stayed at the ward for several weeks, patiently waiting for Dale¡¯s clearance to be issued. Since that day, whenever something happened between us, he has done his best to be professional with me and has never mentioned it. However, I wished he would speak to me as if I were a friend.


    My daily routine would consist of a shower, followed by a short walk in the garden before returning to my ward to read a book or two. Then, at ten o¡¯clock in the morning, he¡¯de to check on me. When the door opened, I was halfway through the book, but it was another person who entered with a big smile. I hadn¡¯t expected him!


    ¡°Amber, my sweetheart!¡± The Alpha eximed as he approached me, and before I could react, he nted a kiss on my cheek.


    ¡°A-Alpha Marcus,¡± I said, my voice quivering.


    ¡°Congrattions to you both,¡± Dale said.


    I furrowed my brows in perplexity because I didn¡¯t know what I should be congratted on unless¡­ ¡°Oh my goodness! Am I expecting?¡± I asked in disbelief, and the Alpha confirmed it.


    ¡°Let me take you home right now, my darling,¡± Alpha Marcus said, but I was focused on Dale. He lowered his head as if he didn¡¯t want to look the Alpha in the eyes. I waited until he gave me a sidelong nce before thanking him.

 CHAPTER 3

    ***Amber¡¯s POV***


    I was too stunned to speak when I learned of my sister¡¯s death! I knew why she had to do it on the inside. Yes, killing herself was a mortal sin, but she was desperate for freedom. Freedom that could only be obtained by death! I wished I could curse at her, but I couldn¡¯t! I mean, how could I? In fact, I was considering doing the same if I were in her situation!


    I took a deep breath and looked in the mirror. My perfectly coiffed brown hair was double-braided, revealing my strong yet worried face. After checking my appearance, my hooded blue eyes stared into nothingness, and another deep breath escaped my lips before walking towards the door.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    I was on my way to the jail cell where my sister had given up her life. My sister and I were the lowest species in the Dark Furs because we were omegas. Some of the omegas were born as servants, but others, blessed with beautiful faces and luscious bodies, were required to be the Alpha¡¯s child-bearer.


    Being a servant was a difficult job, but it was safer. Unfortunately, both my sister and I were stunning. I wanted to escape before I reached this age, but how? I didn¡¯t have any resources, and I couldn¡¯t leave my sister behind. So I stayed in the pack, waiting for the day when the Alpha would call me to his bed.


    The Alpha would have sex with omegas, and if we didn¡¯t get pregnant after that, we¡¯d be imprisoned for the rest of our lives! It was inhumane, but it was standard practice in Dark Furs. No one dared to deviate from the norm, risking the wrath of the elders or even the Alpha himself!


    I had to go through strict security to get to the dungeon, which housed the prison cells. A narrow pair of worn statues on a murky mountain top marked the entrance to the dungeon. Beyond the pair of worn statues was a small, deteriorating room covered in ash and puddles of water.


    The paths leading further were twisted, and then I came to a terrifying area. I went through a number of passages, some of which had copsed and others that seemed to go on forever. Ominous symbols abound, untouched by time and the elements, and as I approached it to examine it, I heard faint footsteps behind me.


    ¡°Say your name,¡± the guard demanded angrily. He seemed to be in a bad mood about something, but I didn¡¯t dare to ask what it was.


    Before responding to his question, I wet my bottom lip, but he looked at me with lustful desire in his eyes. Perhaps he would try to harm my body if he didn¡¯t know I was an omega and a child-bearer for the Alpha. The prison has its own set of rules, and the Alpha was too preupied to notice the guards¡¯ infractions.


    ¡°Are you deaf? I inquired as to your name!¡± He screamed at me, and his voice echoed throughout theplex.


    ¡°My name is Amber Mcbride, sir, and I¡¯m here to retrieve my sister¡¯s belongings,¡± I said. Despite my frail frame, I stood in front of him gracefully, and he looked even angrier!


    ¡°Pardon?¡±


    ¡°I was told that my sister hadmitted suicide and that I had to take her belongings,¡± I exined to the man whose brows were drawn together. I wondered if he was upset with me or if this was his normal demeanor.


    ¡°Ah, yes. Follow me,¡± he said.


    I wrinkled my nose as I followed him towards the prison cell where my sister was being held. He smelled terrible, and if I had to be harsh, he smelled like a rotten cadaver! There was less light as we moved further into the area. So, what could I possibly expect from a dungeon? I expected him to do nothing, but when he did, my eyes widened at the scene in front of me.


    I let out a loud scream!


    For Pete¡¯s sake, I wasn¡¯t prepared to see my sister in that form, but then an idea struck me. ¡°Did she reallymit suicide?¡± I asked as soon as I noticed she was only wearing her nightgown and lying on a cot on a cold floor.


    ¡°Are you implying that we murdered her?¡± He inquired defensively.


    ¡°No, sir. It¡¯s not like that. But, how did she die? I expected to see her hanging somewhere else,¡± I told the man, who looked at me with daggers.


    ¡°Who knows, she might have taken medication to kill herself.¡± Almost every woman sentenced to life in prison suffered the same fate,¡± he exined.


    I wasn¡¯t convinced, or perhaps I was just attempting to shift me for her death. She was pitiful, and I was terrified as I stared at her lifeless form. I didn¡¯t want to die like my sister, but my prospects were bleak at the moment. I¡¯d already had sexual encounters with the Alpha, but there was no indication that I¡¯d be pregnant anytime soon. I was suddenly concerned about my survival. I had only one more chance to be impregnated by the Alpha!


    ¡°Hey!¡± When I continued to stare at my dead sister, the guard smacked my arm to get my attention. ¡°You said you¡¯d take her belongings, so why are you still standing?¡± Move!¡± He gave the order.


    ¡°What about her body? I¡¯d like to give her a proper burial,¡± I exined.


    ¡°Do you want to die? This woman defied the Alpha¡¯s order to suffer for the rest of her life bymitting suicide! Do you think the Alpha would let you bury her properly? Miss, it¡¯s not going to happen!¡±


    ¡°However, she is my sister!¡± I tried to argue with the guard, but he pped me instead.


    ¡°Get a grip on yourself, woman, if you want to live!¡±


    His words appeared to be a warning or a concern, but I had a bad feeling about my sister¡¯s death. ¡°Could you please leave me alone for a moment? I¡¯d like to say a prayer for my sister,¡± I said, and he just nodded.


    I kneeled beside her body and touched her face after the guard had left. It was lifeless and cold. As I examined her body, I noticed numerous bruises on her skin. ording to the purple coloration of the bruises, some were old and some were probably new.


    When it came to sex, the Alpha was a ferocious beast who reveled in torturing us in bed. As much as I wanted to doubt the guard¡¯s words, I knew the bruises on her pale skin were most likely caused by the Alpha. When I looked at my sister, tears welled up in the corners of my eyes, and I made the decision not to end up like her.


    After praying for her, I went through her belongings and put the most important ones in the bag. I was checking her belongings thoroughly when I heard amotion outside. The guard then appeared out of nowhere, panting for air.


    Before asking, I craned my neck and narrowed my eyes at him. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    ¡°The Alpha needs you now!¡± He made an announcement.

 CHAPTER 4

    ***Amber¡¯s POV***


    Alpha Marcus was a man who enjoyed unting his wealth, and his castle was a prime example of his excess. I wasn¡¯t allowed to go near his castle, where he used to live with his Luna, before I became pregnant. He forbade anyone from approaching it, but as soon as he learned of my pregnancy, he ordered me to prepare the castle for my return.


    I was overjoyed at his attention, but deep down, I felt guilty. I had been sleeping with another man! The Alpha would not approve, but he would not know. Dale and I talked about it, and he wouldn¡¯t risk his life for something so insignificant!


    ¡°Are you looking forward to living with me?¡± As we approached the massive gate, he asked, holding my hands.


    Dark Furs Castle is made up of fifteen round towers that pierce the sky and are connected by strong and heavy walls made of light brownstone. It has overhanging crions for archers and artillery, just like any other castle.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°I asked you a question, my dear,¡± he reminded me tly.


    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, Alpha Marcus. I was thinking about the baby,¡± I said while lying down, but our conversation was cut short when a butler approached us. When he bowed his head at me, I felt important or like a woman of high status. I no longer felt like the omega who was looked down upon by the entire pack due to my low status. I smiled shyly at the butler, but he appeared formal, or perhaps he was shy when Alpha Marcus was around.


    ¡°Bring everyone together now,¡± Alpha Marcus summoned the butler, who was eager to please the Alpha and left right away.


    I was speechless when I heard the butler order the number of servants to bow before me!


    The Alpha has gone out of his way to make me feel special, and I honestly prefer it to being just a body servant for the Alpha. While gloating over the special treatment I received, I couldn¡¯t be more grateful to Dale for assisting me in reaching my goal.


    Yes, I learned that his name was Dale Ramsay, but I just called him Dale. It was to keep our rtionship from bing too intimate or too familiar. Actually, I was concerned that the Alpha would discover what had urred in the clinic¡­ between me and Dale.


    ¡°Please excuse me, Alpha Marcus. May I ask you a question?¡± I spoke to him quietly so that the others could hear us.


    ¡°Anything, my dear,¡± he sweetly replied.


    ¡°Would you still¡­ hmmm¡­ would you require me to do it with you now that I¡¯m pregnant?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, dear. I don¡¯t understand. What are you inquiring about?¡±


    ¡°Would you still want to do the things we used to do in your bed now that I¡¯m pregnant?¡± I asked again, but when he just stared at me without saying anything, I became concerned. He was an Alpha, and his sense of smell was noughing matter. If he did it again, I was afraid he¡¯d be able to smell Dale¡¯s scent inside my body!


    ¡°No, my dear. It could endanger the child inside you. Why? Do you want to do it again tonight?¡±


    ¡°Tonight would be too soon, Alpha,¡± I said, not mentioning that I didn¡¯t want him to touch me again.


    ¡°I know. Why don¡¯t you take a break for the time being? You must be exhausted. One of the servants will wake you upter for your meal,¡± he said, tilting his head in the direction of the butler. ¡°Leave the mistress alone in her room.¡±


    Was she just a mistress? I couldn¡¯t help but get excited about the prospect of gaining power through Alpha Marcus! Then an idea struck me¡­ a thought about my deceased sister I must remember how cruel he was to the omegas. I was fortunate to find someone willing to assist me.


    We took several detours after following the butler to my room. ¡°Thank you for being kind, sir,¡± I said with a smile.


    ¡°Mistress, you are always wee. However, there is something you should be aware of.¡±


    He delivered the speech in a mysterious manner, so I clenched my brows while waiting for his announcement. ¡°What is it?¡± I inquired when he took his time exining.


    ¡°You must not defy the Alpha¡¯s words,¡± he warned me.


    As a wise person, I decided not to pursue further exnation. I epted his word for it and nodded my head. ¡°I¡¯ll remember that, sir.¡±


    ¡°Please refer to me as Mr. Walter for ease of reference,¡± he said.


    ¡°All right, Mr. Walter,¡± he said as he assisted in entering my fingerprint into the biometric system outside the door. The things in the castle astounded me. It was so cutting-edge that I wondered how Alpha Marcus had amassed so much wealth.


    I excitedly pressed my index finger into the system, then heard the door lock open with a click. I carefully pushed the door open, and my eyes widened as I saw the luxurious items inside the room. Everything appeared to be expensive, but it was the massive bed that drew my attention! It was a four-poster bed, and I could feel the softness when I sat on it! For the first time, I groaned with delight at having a very nice room!


    He suggested I take a break, but that¡¯s not what I did inside the room. First, I went into the bathroom and screamed with delight when I discovered a bathtub inside. I filled the tub with hot, steamy water before adding some bubble baths. I poured a small amount ofvender essential oil on my skin before removing all of my clothes.


    Growing up in a poor family and working as a body servant for the Alpha, I couldn¡¯t help but be excited about the luxury that Alpha Marcus has provided for me. When he first addressed me as the Mistress, I was ecstatic at the prospect of bing the new Luna of Dark Furs. Wouldn¡¯t that be thrilling? Alpha Marcus was a brute, but he was powerful, and with power, I could finally be free!


    I was so lost in my thoughts that I screamed when the door unexpectedly opened and someone walked in! I recalled locking the door, but how did he get in? ¡°Dale¡­,¡± I said quietly, my mouth gaping open as I realized what he wanted from me. ¡°What exactly are you doing here?¡± This is a dangerous ce for you!¡±

 CHAPTER 5

    ***Amber¡¯s POV***


    I couldn¡¯t move as he walked toward me. It was only natural for me to send him away as the Alpha¡¯s mistress because he had no business in my quarter. ¡°No!¡± I used my hand to stop him from moving forward, but he simply ignored it. ¡°I¡¯m warning you, Dale! Don¡¯t get any closer,¡± I told him.


    ¡°I can¡¯t do that,¡± he said, taking another step forward into the bathtub where I was.


    ¡°Why? What are you doing to me? We already discussed about this! We¡¯ve already agreed that once I¡¯m pregnant, you won¡¯t be able to see me!¡±


    ¡°Because I like you,¡± he said. ¡°Amber, I like you.¡±


    I was shocked andughed when he said he liked me. ¡°Due to what happened between us? Are you serious? It was all business!¡± I justughed at what he said because I knew he was being ttering. For what purpose? Do you want to have sex with me again? No way!


    ¡°No, it isn¡¯t! Amber, I can tell you like me as well! That night, you couldn¡¯t get enough of me!¡±


    When he mentioned that night, I couldn¡¯t stop my mind from reying the entire incident, and my cheeks warmed up. When I looked at him, he seemed to recognize the scenes in my head and approached me right away. The man didn¡¯t even hesitate to cover my lips, and his kisses immediately made me weak. My knees sagged immediately, and I clung to him for support!


    Then he dragged me out of the tub and into the shower. We were both soaked by the water when he suddenly pinned me against the wall! He conquered my mouth without warning, and he was so eager to deepen the kiss! When he did that, I moaned and tightened my grip on his nape.


    ¡°Face the wall and bend a little,¡± he said after he had finished kissing me. Instead of questioning his order, I obeyed, and then I felt him rub his stiffness into my behind. He knew I was ready to take him and didn¡¯t hesitate to do so.


    I couldn¡¯t stop moaning, especially when the man stroked my breasts. Then he squeezed my nipples as he thrust into me repeatedly. My muttering was consistent, as was his. In the midst of my sobs, I realized that whenever I was with him, I felt like a virgin.


    He was also skilled at forey and romance. He seemed to have a reason for every caress, kiss, and thrust. I couldn¡¯t think of anything else but him since something happened to us. It was as if he were the only man I¡¯d ever met or experienced in my life. My thoughts were focused on him, and that is what I was most afraid of. Was I in love with Mathew Ramsay? No way. I couldn¡¯t let that happen, but my body seemed to think otherwise!


    ¡°No!¡± I screamed, but I had no idea why. Perhaps I was just lost in thought at the time, but his response was shocking!


    ¡°Yes¡­,¡± he said as he licked the skin behind my ear.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    When I let his nostrils and hand tempt my body, I thought I was going to pass out. I couldn¡¯t catch my breath when the man began whispering sweet nothings into my ear. I kept shouting his name as he elerated his actions even more, and when I heard my namee out of his mouth, it felt like I was being rocked in a cloud. It felt good to have him call me as we climbed to the top of cloud nine together.


    ¡°Dale¡­,¡± I called out as I felt I was nearing the pinnacle of happiness. My entire body trembled as he continued to lift me into the sky, and when we both arrived at our destination, I expected him to simply let me go, but he didn¡¯t!


    ¡°I like you, Amber,¡± he said quietly.


    I couldn¡¯t exin it, but my body and the man seemed to be heating up again. As I rubbed my back against him, I felt his manhood expand, and as I rubbed my back against him, his hands were automatically on my breasts, rubbing, squeezing, and flicking the nipples as well!


    ¡°Let¡¯s get out of here,¡± he proposed.


    My legs wobbled as we discussed the bed, but he abruptly shook his head. I scowled at him because I didn¡¯t understand him. Then he motioned with his hand toward the sofa near the window. It was a single-seater sofa, but it wasrge and I thought it could fit two petite people.


    When I realized the man was adjusting the curtain, my eyes widened. Even though I knew the sliding window was tinted, I was still concerned that someone might see me, but the fear made us even more excited.


    ¡°Come,¡± he called, and then he gradually forced me to sit on him.


    Oh my goodness, it felt so good!


    As I moved up and down his manhood, he held my waist, and because we were facing each other, he was free to reach my breasts. The man sucked them one by one right away. When our gazes met, I felt hypnotized, and wepletely forgot about the danger of our situation. I blinked at him for a moment, unable to believe he was so powerful and virile!


    We were both silent after what happened, but after a few moments, I left him on the sofa to get some clothes from the closet. Then I became concerned because his clothes were wet. I approached him after donning a white robe.


    ¡°What are your ns now?¡± ¡°Your clothes are soaked,¡± I informed him.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be concerned, Amber. I know my way out very well, but it would be helpful if you could lend me one of your bathrobes,¡± he suggested, and I agreed because there were several bathrobes in the closet.


    ¡°Wait,¡± I said as I returned to the closet to get something for him. I returned to his side, holding a bathrobe, and bit my bottom lip before speaking to him again. ¡°Are you going to refuse to apologize?¡± I inquired because he had repeatedly taken advantage of my situation.


    ¡°And why should I apologize? I enjoyed it, you enjoyed it, we both enjoyed it,¡± the man replied, as if letting him have me was a joke!


    ¡°Stop talking!¡±


    ¡°Amber, we¡¯re no longer kids, okay? We both wanted it to happen,¡± said the man, who wasn¡¯t ashamed to admit it.


    ¡°The issue is that I am Alpha Marcus¡¯s woman!¡± I had to raise my voice to make my point because he seemed oblivious to our coboration.


    ¡°You don¡¯t love that man, because if you did, you wouldn¡¯t let me fuck you,¡± he stated tly, but as I listened, I was disgusted!


    ¡°What exactly are you saying? I¡¯ve already exined why!¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s just leave,¡± he suggested, and my mouth gaped open in surprise.


    The idea of eloping with Dale was almost appealing to me, but I could never agree to his proposal. Alpha Marcus was a terrifying man with enormous power and influence! We could elope, but will we be able to survive in the long run? We would not! Alpha Marcus would kill us as soon as he found us, and I wasn¡¯t that heartless to let an innocent man die. In addition, I had to think about my unborn child¡¯s safety.


    Dale never came back to see me. I honestly expected him to show up unannounced, just like on my first day at Alpha¡¯s. He was probably disappointed by my decision, but it was for our own good. Before considering leaving the pack, I needed to gain some power. It was not possible at the time due to my condition and limited capacity.


    The days passed slowly, and I was bored. I was disappointed when Alpha Marcus informed me of the uing party to announce my pregnancy to the entire pack. Something seemed to be bothering me, and I didn¡¯t have peace of mind. Was it Dale¡¯s fault?


    As I looked out the window, a deep sigh escaped my lips. When I was alone, it had be a habit. I used to spend a lot of time by the window, admiring the flowering nts in the ground, but that was it. I got what I wanted, but I wasn¡¯t satisfied. I should be happy about my pregnancy because it¡¯s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for an omega like me, but my heart desired something else¡­ or someone else!


    The room was cozy andfortable, but it was still a lonely ce for me. It had a four-poster bed and soft bedsidemps that added a little drama to the room, but I could see Dale¡¯s naked body in every nook and cranny. We almost made love in every corner of my bedroom thest time he came to see me¡­ and I missed him so much!


    I dragged my feet slowly towards the massive bed and curled up in the middle. I could see Dale even when my eyes were closed! I had to force myself to stop thinking about him! I was dozing off when I heard footsteps approaching my room. I listened intently until the door clicked open with a satisfying click. When I realized who wasing, my face turned pale with fear. Although I was looking forward to his visit, I wasn¡¯t prepared to face him again!


    I could feel his presence because the door was slightly ajar. I was nervously waiting, but he was deafeningly quiet! I stopped breathing for a split second! My heart almost skipped a beat as he walked slowly toward me. His hands then reached out to touch my skin. As he traced my skin with his finger, my stomach churned with nervousness.


    ¡°Gorgeous,¡± he said quietly. ¡°Your silky, smooth skin is lovely, dear.¡±


    I flinched at his touch, but I figured the man wouldn¡¯t notice if I was awake, so I pretended to sleep, but when his hands tried to caress my breasts, I screamed in terror. He was taken aback, but so was I.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Amber?¡± Alpha Marcus inquired.


    I stared at him for a moment before shaking my head. ¡°N-nothing, Alpha Marcus. N-nothing.¡± When I told him I was dreaming, my voice quivered.


    ¡°I see. Anyway, why don¡¯t you go outside and mingle with the rest of us, dear? If you¡¯re bored, you could help decorate this ce for tonight¡¯s party, but it¡¯s not required,¡± he said, smiling. Even at his age, Alpha Marcus was extremely attractive, and he could entice any woman with his looks alone.


    ¡°I think I¡¯ll do it, Alpha.¡±


    ¡°Good,¡± he replied, and then, a few momentster, he said his goodbyes. I could only nod in response when he mentioned meeting the council for the peace agreement with other packs.


    When I went out to check on the venue, it was almost ready. Thread lights were strung between the trees, creating a whimsical atmosphere. Despite my fear, sadness, and depression, I was acutely aware of those minute details. I was blown away by the idea of including a cozy lounge area where guests couldfortably sit and converse over drinks. There were also drapes and papernterns to give the event a festive feelter on.


    I expressed my desire to assist, but the team in charge of the decorations forbade me. As a result, I decided to go back to my room and do something else. Maybe reading or sewing clothes for my future baby. However, I was not given the opportunity to enjoy it as much as others. A team of make-up artists appeared out of nowhere. I wanted to dismiss them, but they insisted on assisting me with my make-up.


    ¡°Perfect!¡±


    After two hours of applying make-up to my face, the artist said. They also assisted me with my traditional gown. The sweetheart neckline graciously revealed the noble gown worn beneath it. Under the leather belt, the dress unbuttoned to the left. The sleeves were longer and narrower than my arms; their flow was broken up well above the elbow, where it changed color, and was divided byrge, ornate bands.


    ¡°Done!¡± The stylist announced after checking some strands of my hair that had escaped the hairdo.


    ¡°Finally,¡± I eximed after being beautified for more than two hours. I used to wonder if I was that ugly for them to take so long to finish my make-up. Then I gently dismissed them and pretended to need some alone time.


    I went outside because I was lonely and bored. My original intention was to visit the garden, but the stairs leading upstairs piqued my interest. I remembered the butler¡¯s warning not to go upstairs, especially to the fourth floor, but everyone was too busy to notice.


    As I ascended the curved staircase, I could feel the adrenaline rush. I would asionally look around to see if anyone was watching. I breathed a sigh of relief as soon as I reached the fourth floornding.


    The entire floor was deafeningly quiet and eerie. There was no sign of anyone living on the mentioned floor, but it was well-kept. I could hear the sounds of my heels as I walked down the corridor, which added to the eerie atmosphere.


    I came to a halt several times in the middle and considered canceling my ns. However, there was somethingpelling me to proceed. I was walking slowly when I heard footsteps approaching. Fear gripped my eyes as I imagined being apprehended by the butler or the Alpha himself.


    I dashed to the nearest bedroom, which thankfully wasn¡¯t locked! My chest heaved high and low as I waited to see if anyone had followed me. I counted from one to ten, but then nothing happened. Was I having hallucinations? I shook my head to clear my mind, and then I noticed that the room wasvishly decorated.


    I couldn¡¯t name every detail because I didn¡¯t know the names, but all I could say was that the room was indeed spacious! The furniture was a mixture of antique and modern pieces. The nightstand, for example, was sleek, and the bed¡¯s padded headboard stood out. There was an antique settee as well as a modern vanity table.


    I wondered who used to live in the room as I walked around the luxurious pieces of furniture. Then I noticed a framed photograph on the wall. I knew the man in the photo was the Alpha, but I didn¡¯t expect to see his Luna with their only child. I narrowed my eyes toward the teen in the photograph, then covered my mouth in surprise!


    ¡°Dale?¡±

 CHAPTER 6

    ***Amber¡¯s POV***


    It was nearly impossible to leave the house unnoticed! I did, however, sneak out and go to him. Dale was surprised to see me and dragged me into his office, closing the door behind us. I was supposed to confront him right away, but when he looked at my eyes, I seemed to lose track of the reason for my visit. My heart skipped a beat when he smiled, especially when he licked his bottom lip in front of me, tempting me, and I couldn¡¯t stop myself.


    ¡°Come here,¡± he said, and he embraced me tightly without warning. He then kissed my hair. Wasn¡¯t it overly sweet? ¡°Did you think about me?¡±


    In response, I nodded my head.


    ¡°I miss you as well,¡± he admitted, ¡°but I was still disappointed when you refused to elope with me.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± I said, but when I looked into his eyes, I was instantly smitten. ¡°You have no idea how much I¡¯ve missed you,¡± I said, before conquering his mouth to show how much I missed him.


    Dale cupped my face and kissed me passionately, and our proximity made responding to his strong desire easier for me. After unzipping his pants and lowering his boxer shorts, I hurriedly pulled up my dress.


    My body was pinned against the wall the next thing I knew. I wrapped my legs around his waist as he lifted me up. Dale intensified his kisses with his tongue, and I couldn¡¯t stop moaning at the sensation. My heart almost skipped a beat when his lips traced soft little kisses down to my neck.


    I gasped for air when he gently bit my neck, but his mouth didn¡¯t stop there, moving down to my breasts and caressing them one by one. His tongue brushed up against my nipples, hardening them. His actions soaked me and prepared me for his assault, but he took his time torturing me with his mouth and hands.


    ¡°Please take me now,¡± I pleaded.


    Finally, I felt the tip of his erection try to enter my opening, and I had to wiggle my hips to let him in. He gradually prated me, and when he waspletely inside of me, I huffed. As he moved in and out of my body, I couldn¡¯t help but suck at his bottom lip.


    ¡°Dale¡­¡± I groaned in satisfaction as he sped up his movement. When I wanted more of him, I asked for ¡°Deeper¡­,¡± and he dly obliged.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    He might have sensed how my muscles clenched and tightened around him. When he started moving faster and harder, I knew he was almost there. When the orgasmic spasm rushed through us, I held my breath as my entire body pulsated around his hardness. His breathing elerated, and I felt an explosion of pleasure coursing through my body.


    After a few moments of staring at him, I remembered why I had sneaked out of the mansion to see him. ¡°I almost forgot why I came to see you,¡± I said, and he immediately drew his brows together and gave me a grim look.


    ¡°I assumed you missed me,¡± he exined.


    ¡°Perhaps, but there¡¯s something else I wanted to talk about,¡± I replied, but his narrowed eyes caused me to stammer.


    ¡°What¡¯s the story, Amber? Is it rted to your pregnancy?¡±


    ¡°No. Dale, it¡¯s all about you. Why don¡¯t you tell me your true identity?¡±


    ¡°What exactly do you mean, Amber? What are you on about? I¡¯m not sure why you¡¯re asking about my identity,¡± he puzzled.


    ¡°How do you know Alpha Marcus?¡± I asked and waited for his response, but instead, he gave me an angry look.


    ¡°My God,dy! Did youe here to ask me a stupid question? Return home immediately because he will send his men to find you!¡±


    ¡°Please tell me, Dale. Please tell me the truth,¡± I pleaded.


    ¡°What is the truth? Look, if you¡¯re going to be difficult, I might have to call the Alpha myself,¡± he warned, but I couldn¡¯t leave without learning the truth about his identity! I knew it in my heart, and I could feel him lying!


    ¡°You are his son, the lost heir of the pack,¡± I said quietly, but his reaction surprised me! When he punched the wall, I was taken aback. When he turned to face me, his knuckles were bleeding. ¡°Admit it,¡± I said again.


    ¡°Just go home, please. Do you want him toe here and find you?¡± His question appeared to be threatening, but I was only looking for confirmation from him. Was it difficult to tell me the truth? If my assumptions were incorrect, he could simply deny it.


    ¡°I just want the truth, Dale,¡± I exined.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to know anything, Amber. I¡¯m not sure why you¡¯re asking me this question, but it makes me very ufortable. I am not rted to the Alpha,¡± he insisted.


    ¡°But the image-¡±


    ¡°Some people look like each other, Amber, and I¡¯m sure you¡¯re aware of that,¡± he exined. ¡°Why are you acting this way? Do you have any idea what would happen to me if the Alpha found out? He¡¯d think you¡¯re using him of a crime!¡±


    I was perplexed by our conversation for a brief moment. I only wanted to confirm his rtionship with the Alpha, but there seemed to be something else going on that I wasn¡¯t aware of. In any case, Dale was correct. My inquisitiveness would irritate the Alpha!


    ¡°I apologize. I didn¡¯t mean to make you feel ufortable,¡± I eventually apologized for my actions.


    ¡°Iprehend. However, you must return to the mansion immediately before he notices your absence. ¡°I¡¯ll see youter at the party,¡± he promised, and I was relieved to hear it. I slowly took his hand in mine and squeezed it tightly. When we heard amotion outside, I was about to tell him how grateful I was for our unusual friendship. As we stared at each other, our eyes widened in fear!


    I almost stepped on my gown because I was nervous. Earlier, Alpha Marcus¡¯s men nearly caught me in the clinic, and if it hadn¡¯t been for Dale, I would have died. He lied about discovering me unconscious in the garden while looking for his pet. Fortunately, Alpha Marcus¡¯s men believed it, but they kept an eye on me while Dale examined me for any injuries.


    ¡°Are you nervous?¡± he asked, and I simply nodded.

 CHAPTER 7

    ***Amber¡¯s POV***


    I couldn¡¯t speak properly because I was so nervous! Only God knows how terrifying it was for me in a matter of seconds! The venue¡¯s entrance was framed with lovely flowers, and the aisle was adorned with lush greenery. I expected to see a red carpet for me to walk on, but instead, I found numerous red rose petals scattered on the ground. Except for the butler, I didn¡¯t recognize anyone when I looked around. I searched the crowd for Dale but couldn¡¯t find him!


    ¡°Calm down, darling. You appear tense,¡± Alpha Marcus observed.


    I kept my head down as he walked alongside me. He seemed pleased about something, but I couldn¡¯t think clearly! My thoughts wandered to someone else, and when we arrived at the tform, he motioned for me to take a seat beside him on the upholstered bench.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, darling. Take a look at the women in front of you! They were so envious of you right now,¡± he said quietly, and without warning, he grabbed one of my hands.


    Despite my glove, I could feel the warmth emanating from his hand. For a brief moment, I refused to look at the hands that held mine. I didn¡¯t want to hold his hands, but I was in a situation where I couldn¡¯t help myself!


    ¡°Smile, my dear,¡± he said.


    I nodded in agreement, but then I noticed him in the crowd. His attractive face would definitely attract a lot of women, and our gazes met as he slowly raised his head. My mouth dropped open in awe at how magnificent he appeared! Dale Ramsay was, without a doubt, the most attractive man in the group! He was such a charming young man to me!


    I couldn¡¯t help but feel nervous as I looked around. I wasn¡¯t used to going to parties, let alone ones that were nned specifically for me. When I looked at Alpha Marcus, he appeared to be very happy. I noticed how he motioned to the butler and then announced that food would be served immediately.


    A servant arrived and piled delectable dishes on our table, and my mouth watered at the feast before me. I grew up in a low-ie family with little or no food on the table. Alpha Marcus¡¯s eyes remained fixed on me as we began to eat, and I became uneasy. Before speaking to him, I picked up the napkin and wiped my mouth.


    ¡°Is there a problem, Alpha?¡± I inquired, but he only smiled.


    ¡°Nothing¡¯s wrong, dear. I just can¡¯t take my eyes off your beautiful face,¡± he said, but I wondered what had gotten into him.


    Although it wasn¡¯t the first time heplimented me on my appearance, his words seemed to have a different meaning this time. ¡°Thank you very much, Alpha.¡± I was grateful for his kind words, but I wished he could back them up with actions. He was mostly a cruel man who enjoyed asserting his dominance over women. It happened several times to me, but as a powerless woman, I had to submit to him. Things would hopefully change soon!Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Alpha Marcus treated everyone to fine wines and liquors after a sumptuous dinner of meat, fish, vegetables, and fresh fruits. Laughter and giggles erupted throughout the venue. I tried to rx at the party until I noticed Dale talking to another woman. I felt jealousy seeping through my heart as I watched them intently. I shouldn¡¯t feel this way because our rtionship was only for our benefit. Dale vanished from the crowd, and jealousy resurfaced in my chest. My gaze sought him out, but he was nowhere to be found.


    ¡°Dear? Are you ready?¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡± When Alpha Marcus spoke to me, I was taken aback. ¡°I apologize, Alpha. I¡¯m just too tired from the party,¡± I lied, but the truth was that I wasn¡¯t paying attention to him.


    ¡°Are you ready for my surprise?¡± He asked, smiling, but before I could respond, he stood up, and the entire venue fell silent. ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, I have a very important announcement,¡± he began, but the audience seemed perplexed as well¡­ just like me!


    Then Alpha Marcus kneeled in front of me and took my hand in his. When I saw a diamond ring being slid onto my finger, my eyes couldn¡¯t believe it. The audience gasped in surprise, and I was rendered speechless! When I looked at him, he gave me a tender smile.


    ¡°Are you willing to be my new Luna?¡± When he asked, everyone fell silent.


    As a low-born woman looking to gain some power, I should say yes right away. I couldn¡¯t, however. I was wary¡­ because of Dale Ramsay! ¡°I, Amber Mcbride, ept you to be my-¡±


    ¡°Stop!¡±

 CHAPTER 8

    ***Amber¡¯s Pov***


    Alpha Marcus led me to a room that looked simr to the one I was in. The room appeared spacious andfortable, but I didn¡¯t have time to appreciate its beauty. Although I couldn¡¯t fully open my eyes after he punched me, I imagine it was also painted in darker colors. When I heard footsteps approaching, my anxiety level skyrocketed.


    When Alpha Marcus dragged me earlier, I assumed he would only hurt me physically; I had no idea he would use me sexually. He tortured me in bed the same way he tortured every omega who refused to submit to his demands. My hands and feet were both bound. Every time he used a hideous object on my body, my mouth was gagged and I couldn¡¯t even make a sound. He cheated on me! He tortured me!


    It was a nightmare, but it couldn¡¯tpare to the agony I felt when Dale told everyone I was sleeping with someone else in order to get pregnant. He destroyed the party, and then he destroyed me! That was something I couldn¡¯t forgive him for! Never in a million years!


    ¡°Please bring him in!¡± Alpha Marcus yelled to the guards outside the door, and I waited for the door to click open.


    ¡°Well, well, well, Dale Ramsay,e here and enlighten me about your earlier ims,¡± he taunted, but Dale¡¯s reaction enraged the Alpha. ¡°How could you?¡± After Dale spit in his face, he screamed. Then he summoned another person to join us.


    When the neer began to touch my skin, I was taken aback and screamed loudly. I wiggled my body to get away from him, but I couldn¡¯t do anything! I knew what was going to happen when he started undressing in front of me. Worse, Dale didn¡¯t even flinch or show any sign of concern for my safety. Maybe I was the only one who had feelings for him¡­ right?


    ¡°Please, please, please stop!¡± I yelled, but he ignored me. I couldn¡¯t ask the Alpha for help because he had asked the stranger to touch me in ces he shouldn¡¯t have touched. I waited for Dale to say something while the stranger molested me in front of them. He didn¡¯t, and I was devastated and dissatisfied.


    ¡°You stated that I am infertile, and that woman is pregnant! Do you know who did it?¡±


    ¡°I did. I slept with her. She discovered your infertility and asked me to impregnate her,¡± Dale responded.


    ¡°Nonsense!¡±


    Alpha Marcus screamed and drew the man who was attempting to prate me. Finally, I breathed a sigh of relief. It would be traumatic to be vited by another man, and it would be difficult to move onter. I thought he felt sorry for me, but he has other ns. Alpha Marcus undressed and crawled on top of my body without warning.


    When he forced his way into me, my mouth gaped open, but I couldn¡¯tin. He would taunt the Dale every time he thrust into me. Alpha Marcus used me to provoke Dale, and I was just unlucky to be caught in the middle of their wars.


    I closed my eyes, defeated, and surrendered to my fate. I stopped fighting against my fate and let the ruthless Alpha use my body however he saw fit. When he told me to bend over, I did so. I didn¡¯t object when he asked me to suck his erection. I just let him use a toy to intensify the torture.


    ¡°Stop right now! How could you be so cruel to a woman? Stop!¡± Dale screamed, and when he morphed into a beast-like creature, Alpha Marcus rolled off my body.


    I thought it was all over and I was safe, but Alpha Marcus changed his strategy. He summoned reinforcements and overpowered Dale. They pped, kicked, and punched him. I attempted to intervene this time. I couldn¡¯t stand watching him be tortured. I couldn¡¯t take it anymore!


    ¡°Be honest with me, Amber. Did you have any sexual rtions with him? Answer me, you bitch!¡±


    ¡°Yes! I had an affair with him. I let him fuck me over and over again until I got pregnant.¡± I admitted the truth, and his p nearly knocked me out. I was initially afraid to admit the truth, but I had no choice at the time. I was surrounded. Another pnded on my face, and tears welled up in my eyes.


    ¡°How could you do that!¡±Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°How could I possibly not? You will imprison or even kill me if I do not be pregnant within the allotted time. All I wanted was to live, Alpha Marcus.¡±


    ¡°Do you think you can survive by deceiving me? I¡¯ll never forgive you for what you did to me. You slept with another man, which is the most heinous thing you could possibly do to me! I am removing your status as one of my women, and you will work as a servant beginning today!¡±

 CHAPTER 9

    ***Dale¡¯s POV***


    ¡°Stop it, old man!¡± I screamed at Alpha Marcus for abusing Amber¡¯s body. ¡°Ask me why I am doing this to you.¡±


    ¡°Why?¡± He asked.


    ¡°You killed my mother, your first Luna,¡± I informed Alpha Marcus but he just stared at me as if I¡¯ve lost my marbles.


    ¡°My first Luna? Hmmm that was ages ago so I don¡¯t think I remember that particr bitch. I didn¡¯t kill anyone.¡±


    ¡°Liar!¡± I shouted.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you tell me your mother¡¯s name? I may be able to recall some memories from the past. What¡¯s her name, boy?¡±


    When he asked for my mother¡¯s name, I was hesitant to tell him. However, he had to know if he has really forgotten about my mother. ¡°Elizabeth,¡± I answered, and Alpha Marcus gritted his teeth.


    ¡°Ah, the wanton Elizabeth. It¡¯s true that I wanted to kill her but I didn¡¯t. However, I know that someone will do it. There¡¯s a limit to a man¡¯s patience and Elizabeth loved to challenge every man¡¯s patience by sleeping with everyone who could satisfy her needs. Did she tell you about her addiction?¡±


    I clenched my fist while listening to his lies. My mother was the sweetest person in the entire world! There¡¯s no way that Alpha Marcus was telling the truth! ¡°I don¡¯t believe you!¡± I screamed.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t kill her!¡± He screamed too.


    ¡°Liar!¡± I shouted again at Alpha Marcus, and then the door suddenly opened. Several men entered the room simultaneously. They were my people, and they were just waiting for mymand. I noticed that Amber desperately tried to hide her nudity from the intruders. I gestured for my men to disable the Alpha¡¯s men, and in less than five minutes, Alpha Marcus was cornered.


    I went to Amber. I untied her and she was grateful. I didn¡¯t say anything to her. Then, I ordered my men to tie the Alpha into a char. After the Alpha was tied up, I ordered everyone to leave. They insisted to stay. They imed Alpha Marcus was dangerous but I was positive I would be able to handle the old man. Atst, there was no one else in the room but the three of us.


    ¡°Now I know why Jacob left and chose to be a rogue,¡± I told him in a way that he would suspect my rtionship with his son. Jacob was rumored to be the perfect heir for the Alpha, but he chose to leave the pack and became a rogue. He made a name as a rogue, and sooner, he was able to lead the town of ybourne with ease.


    ¡°How much do you know about my son?¡±


    ¡°Not much, but I know he despised you, Alpha Marcus. All of your sons despise you. Well, what do you expect? You used their mother like a certain item and discarded them once you got bored. Why don¡¯t you watch me please your woman in bed? Learn something from me, Alpha Marcus,¡± I stated.


    I grabbed her and pulled her towards my body. She looked confused and I felt sorry for her. Initially, I intended to use her as a scapegoat. I thought she would fight me but the moment Iid my fingers on her skin, she was aroused. She wanted me! Her body loved the things I did to her.


    ¡°Stop it!¡± Alpha Marcus shouted but I ignored him.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    I copied the Alpha¡¯s method of torturing a person and he was powerless this time. I forced him to watch me and Amber while fucking, and I made sure that Amber would love every second of our sexual encounter. She screamed for more whenever I went deeper and faster into her body. Like me, her eyes were on the Alpha.


    Then, I frowned. Something was wrong with Alpha Marcus! He passed out!


    ¡°Is he dead?¡± Amber asked.

 CHAPTER 10

    ***Dale¡¯s POV***


    After a number of years of hoping and wishing, my wish came true when Alpha Marcus was finally brought to his knees. Because an omega wanted to avoid being imprisoned, it took ce at such a breakneck speed.


    In recent days, I¡¯ve been missing her very much, but I haven¡¯t been able to confront her just yet. The woman was irrationally angry at me, but I knew that sooner orter she would see that our predicament had rendered both of us helpless victims. It was only a matter of time before she found herself¡­ back in my bed.


    Following the cardiac arrest, I would pay the man, who was still unconscious, a visit each and every day. I was sorry that I had to hurt Amber, but unfortunately, that was necessary for the process. It was necessary for me to exact revenge for the unjust killing of my mother! I hoped that he would pass away, but not too quickly!


    Alpha Marcus had no idea that I befriended his son, Jacob Summers. Although he was fine being away from Dark Furs, I knew I could convince him to lead the pack. I had no issue with Jacob, and I didn¡¯t want to ruin the lives of innocent people. I just wanted to take out Alpha Marcus!


    I informed Jacob about his father¡¯s situation and the Mayor of ybourne just shrugged his shoulders. He didn¡¯t want to do anything for the pack but I convinced him nheless. He could continue ruling ybourne while I, being second inmand, I could lead the pack in his absence. Jacob and I had a deal.


    After Alpha Marcus, I would exact revenge on everyone who yed a role in my mother¡¯s murder. The downfall of Alpha Marcus was just the beginning because I still have to deal with the elders who convinced the Alpha that my mother has to die.


    Jacob and I focused the majority of our efforts on proving to everyone that we were capable of guiding our group to greater heights of sess. Although some people believed me, others did not. Even though my hands were covered in blood, I was not going to stop until I had exacted revenge on everyone involved in the passing of my mother!


    However, Jacob proved to be so stubborn in his ways! He ran a harem of women, and he wouldn¡¯t listen to me! He has a rebellious nature and I struggled to reign him in. Although I wanted his father¡¯s downfall, I didn¡¯t want the entire pack to suffer because of an ipetent leader!


    Things became moreplicated when he got involved with his maid. I couldn¡¯t me him though. The woman was beautiful and there was something intriguing about her. It seemed that Bethany has kept a lot of secrets. In fact, I couldn¡¯t forget the first time I saw her. It was at a gas station and she was holding her baby¡­a little bundle of joy whose hair looked simr to Jacob¡¯s! From then onwards, I kept tab on that woman. Fortunately, she went to the monastery where I grew up. She was looking for a job for her daughter¡¯s sake, so I offered her a job without any hesitation. Unfortunately, the yboy Jacob Summers almost ruined everything when he fell for his maid!


    However, I was able to convince him that he needed to marry his mate but he refused. He got tired of the woman and he didn¡¯t believe in fated mates anymore! Jacob Summers really knew how to piss me off. When I told him that marrying an Alpha¡¯s daughter would convince the council that he was capable, and they didn¡¯t have to check on him. He believed me, and so, we eventually traveled to the pack of Moonstone Shadow.


    Jacob Summers dreaded the journey but he had no choice. If he wanted to keep his freedom, he had to convince the council he was stronger than them! We traveled for approximately two nights, and by the time we arrived, I could tell that my men were both wary and exhausted. Finally, when we arrived at our destination, I did not anticipate a warm wee; however, it appeared that Travis Dudley was not as terrible as the rumors I heard about him had led me to believe he would be.


    ¡°Alpha Jacob, it¡¯s great to have you here in the Moonstone Shadow!¡±


    I was taken aback when it turned out to be the alpha himself who came out to greet us when we arrived at the gate. I also thanked him and shed an honest grin in his direction before responding. From what I¡¯ve seen, the man possessed a generous spirit, and we could only hope that his daughters have the same disposition.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    Even when he was in his prime, Alpha Travis had a dashing appearance. His hair was short and white, and it fell over his face in a soft, caressing manner. The eyes were hooded in green and appeared to be nestled gracefully within their sockets. They cast a sincere gaze in our direction. The dark stubble on his cheeks worked well as aplement to his face and was a charming reminder of the man¡¯s history. It wasmon knowledge that he was a fiercepetitor within the pack.


    ¡°You have arrived much sooner than we had anticipated!¡± While he was offering his hand for a shake, he made the statement.


    ¡°I want to express my gratitude for the opportunity to pay you a visit, Alpha Travis. Because I didn¡¯t want to get us into any more trouble, we rode as quickly as we possibly could,¡± Jacob exined.


    Before making the call for assistance, Travismented, ¡°Your journey must have worn you out.¡± He told the servants, ¡°Take this gentleman to their bedrooms,¡± and the servants did nothing more than nod in response. ¡°Get in there, Alpha Jacob. I¡¯ve got a nice, warm bath waiting for you.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not necessary, sir,¡± Jacob refused.


    When he insisted that it was a part of their tradition, Jacob had no choice but to nod his head in agreement. ¡°Thank you,¡± he mumbled.


    ¡°I¡¯ll send someone to assist with your bath in a moment.¡±


    After we had said our goodbyes, Jacob followed his instructions and went to the area of the traditional bathhouse where someone woulde to assist him. I also did the same!


    Alpha Travis was absolutely correct. After such a long trip, we were in desperate need of a bath. When someone burst in, my eyes widened in shock because I had just finished removing all of my clothes. She let out a startled scream, but I was quick enough to cover her mouth before she could continue.


    ¡°Who are you?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Lucy,¡± she answered briefly, and then she giggled as if she had a lot of fun.

 CHAPTER 11

    ***Amber¡¯s POV***


    Alpha Jacob had no idea that his beta was a cruel man. As one of the servants, I was supposed to sleep inside the servant¡¯s quarter, but Dale made an arrangement so that I would be staying in his ce.


    He lied to the alpha about needing a personal maid even at night. Initially, Jacob suggested to hire another person but Dale used his convincing powers to persuade the Alpha.


    I am scared of the Luna but Dale was scarier. While the Luna was a threat to my safety, Dale had already abused me, both physically and mentally. How could he ask me to sleep with Jacob while spending a night with me almost every night?


    It would feel weird!


    One day, Dale got mad about something and he vented his anger at me. I had no idea what caused to be so furious, but when he held that whip before me, I trembled in fear.


    Seeing the long whip reminded me of my childhood. One time, my father hit me with his belt, not just once, not even twice, but more than ten times.


    Welts were visible at the back of my legs and I couldn¡¯t wear shorts for a more than two weeks. He knew that as a future woman of the Alpha, my skin had to remain wless but he dared to use his belt on me.


    ¡°Surely you will not use that on me, right?¡± I asked Dale when he showed me his whip.


    Out of fear, I backed downed until there was no more space to move away from him.


    ¡°Who knows? Want to give it a try?¡± He warned me.


    Thankfully, it was just a warning. He didn¡¯t use it on me, not even once. However, his warning was enough to make me obedient to him at all times. Since that day, I chose to be silent, and never bothered to argue with him.


    If he would tell me to sing and dance in front of him, I would dly do it. I would ask me to walk on fire, I wouldn¡¯t hesitate to do it, unless he would keep my baby safe. Currently, that¡¯s all that matters to me.


    I believed he was able to convince the Alpha to let me stay in his ce for twenty-four hours a day because I was no longer required to report to the butler of Alpha Jacob.


    Of course, I was thankful for it. Working in the mansion made me nervous especially when the Luna would usually re at me. Dale¡¯s ce was a better ce for the mean time.


    As early as five in the morning, I would prepare his breakfast, and then I would eat ahead of him. Actually, I was hiding away from him. I was scared of being whipped or flogged.


    Aside from that, I was scared to face him every day since my feelings for him has be uncontroble. No matter how much I tried to suppress it, my heart wouldn¡¯t listen and continued to love the wrong person!


    Dale has made it clear that he has no feelings for me. He said he wouldn¡¯t be able to love me. He emphasized that on several asions. He had no idea that his harsh words was hurting me.


    Dale didn¡¯t know how my heart was shredded into tiny pieces when I heard him say that. I simpered at the thought of bing weak and pitiful because of loving him.


    For goodness sake, I endured so much already! Being heartbroken was no big deal for me. His heart was guarded, like a prisoner who was sent into the deepest dungeon of a pce, and I had no way to infiltrate it without getting hurt in the process!


    Every day, it frustrated me that I couldn¡¯t do anything about my situation! Then, I would vent out my frustration on arge stuff toy in his bedroom. I would wrestle with it, and I wouldn¡¯t stop punching its face until his fake eyes would fall.


    ¡°What do you think you¡¯re doing?¡± He asked me as soon as he caught me punching his stuff toy.


    ¡°I am just dusting it, Dale,¡± I lied but when he picked its eyes on the floor, I knew I fucked up.


    ¡°Dusting it? Are you sure, Amber? Then, what is this? How did it fall?¡± He asked several questions.


    ¡°I had no idea. I wasn¡¯t into stuff toy so I don¡¯t really know,¡± I continued to lie because admitting the truth would be embarrassing.


    It was obvious that he was shocked when he saw me being violent to his stuff toy. Earlier, I was startled to see him. If only I hadn¡¯t forgotten to lock the door, then maybe, he wouldn¡¯t be able toe in.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°We need to talk, Amber,¡± he said.


    I raised my eyebrows when he said we needed to talk because we always talked. We do it every single day. Or should I say, that he did the talking, while I would only listen to him.


    ¡°About what, Dale?¡± I asked because as far as I was concerned, there was nothing we had to talk about.


    ¡°Are you avoiding me?¡± He inquired while narrowing his eyes at me.


    ¡°I have no reasons to do that, Dale. Can a prisoner totally avoid her captor>? I don¡¯t think so,¡± I answered and my voice was full of sarcasm and he was offended.


    ¡°Mind your manners when I am talking to you, Amber!¡±


    He roared and stormed out from the room and there was a loud bang from the door as he kicked it close.


    I stared at the door frame as if he was still there, and let my tears flow freely. I was confused, and I had no idea what to do anymore.


    The other part of my brain wanted to escape for total freedom, but the other half wanted to stay with the bastard.


    Then, I got to my feet and followed him outside. With the flower vase on my right hand, I threw it to his head to get his attention. Lately, Dale was so full of himself!


    ¡°What the fuck?¡± He cursed as something hard hit his head.


    ¡°D-dale,¡± I immediately regretted my action.


    ¡°Did you try to kill me with a vase?¡± He shouted.


    There was blood on his fingers which he used to check on the spot that was hit by the porcin vase.


    I remained motionless while waiting for his retaliation. I didn¡¯t mean to hurt him, but only to call his attention. Then, he strut his way back toward me, and I stood frozen.


    ¡°Dale¡­wait!¡±


    I put one of my arms forward to stop him froming to me, but he was fast enough to pin me against the wall. While doing so, I remembered when he did it to me once, but the experience wasn¡¯t scary but erotic.


    ¡°What was that for? Were you trying to kill me?¡±


    His voice roared in my ears and I looked away. Then, Dale cupped my face and bestowed me a punishing kiss. For a long time, I have been wanting to be kissed like that again. Finally, he had reasons to conquer my luscious lips again.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± I apologized for hurting him but he kissed me again. This time, it was ravishing and sexy.

 CHAPTER 12

    ***Dale¡¯s POV***


    While Jacob tried his best to convince Alpha Travis and his daughter into bing his allies, I couldn¡¯t help but notice the little boy from a distance. The boy who was about six years old was busy cleaning the yard of the huge house owned by Alpha Travis. As I continued to observe the little boy, vivid memories from my childhood flooded my head.


    (several years ago)


    I was still awake but I couldn¡¯t see anything inside the room. However, I have already memorized every nook of the tiny storage area where she kept her shoes and slippers. The space was too tiny but I couldn¡¯tin. After all, my body was also small. The little cot was good enough for me to sleep on as long as I would like a fetus.


    I ignored the pain from the welts of her whipping. Apparently, my body had gotten used to it. Who doesn¡¯t get used to it if the ray fish tail would touch my skin almost every day?


    I wanted to cry and ask for help but it would only hurt me more. Also, if it wasn¡¯t because of her, I would probably be dead a long time ago. If I hadn¡¯t embraced her, I would probably have wandered the streets without a good night¡¯s sleep.


    My little legs were full of bruises because of her daily whipping. The only thing I didn¡¯t understand was why she had to hurt me. I did everything she asked me to do. At first, she was kind to me but her kindness was short-lived. At my young age, I was the one doing the dishes, washing her dirty clothes, and everything in the house! She always reminded me to work in equivalent for the food I ate in her house.


    Her tiny cottage was located in a squatter¡¯s area, and the ce was horrible! I could even hear our neighbor whenever he would snore. Houses were so closed together but no one stopped her from maltreating me. They knew that the woman has physically abused me but they didn¡¯t do anything to stop her. Nobody was willing to help me!


    I tried to disobey thedy¡¯s order but I only got hurt when I went home. Since then, I never dared to disobey her again. I took a deep breath again as I wondered how I could sleep peacefully at night when my stomach was churning. I could ignore the pain on my wounded skin but I felt that I couldn¡¯t handle the extreme hunger.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Mom, where are you?¡±


    I cried inside my little room. I was suffering with pain and hunger, and if I wouldn¡¯t do anything about it, my suffering might not be alleviated. I got up and groped for my medicine amidst the darkness inside the tiny room. Since I got used to her whipping, I stashed some crushed penicillin on one of the corners so that it¡¯s essible whenever I needed to.


    There were times when I fall asleep crying because of pain and hunger. If only my mother was around, maybe my life would have turned out differently. Maybe, I would never go hungry and the ray fish tail wouldn¡¯t always touch my skin.


    The woman who kept me as her ve was overweight, and she¡¯s a huge eater. Whatever her leftovers would be my food, and nothing more. Sometimes, she couldn¡¯t be bothered to leave a little portion for me. Earlier, she whipped me after I asked her for a penny. I was so hungry and the worms inside my stomach probably felt the same because they were constantly churning.


    ¡°Madame,¡± I called for the woman when my vision darkened as I walked toward her bedroom to ask for a little bread.


    However, she was annoyed upon seeing hearing my voice. She was watching her favorite tv show and she didn¡¯t like to be disturbed.


    ¡°What do you want? You really are a pest!¡±


    ¡°Please give me a penny, Madame. I need to buy a piece of bread,¡± I pleaded with her because I was starving.


    ¡°Bread again? Why? We just had dinner and now you want to buy some bread? How dare you! Go to sleep!¡± She shouted at me.


    ¡°I¡¯m very hungry, I haven¡¯t had dinner yet,¡± I replied then I continued to plead with her until she grabbed something from the pocket of her dress.


    ¡°Give me back the change after you buy some bread, okay? Just one bread Dale, do you understand?¡±


    I nodded my head, then I immediately went toward the door to get out. A few minutester, I was on my way to the nearest bakeshop. I was crossing the street when a moving vehicle bumped into me. My eyes widened in realization as my fragile body flew into the air.


    I could hear the sounds of my bones breaking when my little body hit the ground. The crowd shouted. There was amotion around me, but the only thing I could think about was the smell of bread. I was almost at the bakeshop when the car hit me. It was so sudden, and my eyes longingly watched the bakeshop across the street.


    Then, I heard her voice!


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± She asked as she got curious about themotion.


    ¡°There¡¯s an ident,¡± someone replied.


    I waited for her toe to me, to help me, but as soon as she confirmed it was me who got into an ident, she just turned around. She didn¡¯t even call my name. She just stared at me as if she didn¡¯t know me! When our eyes met earlier, tears welled up in the corner of my eyes.


    The woman could be cruel but I was grateful when she allowed to keep me in her home. Despite the household chores, I didn¡¯tin. I came to love her as if she was my mother. How could she just abandon me like this?


    ¡°Do you know the little boy?¡± Someone asked, and I witnessed how she shook her head in denial.


    ¡°No. I don¡¯t know him,¡± she replied before walking away.

 CHAPTER 13

    =-Dale¡¯s POV=-


    It¡¯s been a while since I kissed her luscious mouth. So, I forced her to open her mouth for me then, I used my tongue to deepen the kiss. When I seeded, I sucked on her tongue, and she protested against my advances.


    From the moment she tried to injure me with a vase, he should have prepared herself for punishment. But then, she probably prepared herself for a p or a spank, but not the punishing kiss.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    It was totally unexpected, and it was painful. The way I sucked on her lower lip was something she didn¡¯t expect for a long time.


    ¡°That was horrible!¡± sheined after I let go of her lips.


    It took more than my willpower to stop kissing her again. When I first had her, I had no idea I would be addicted to her lips, her body, and her scent.


    However, she wasn¡¯t someone I could love!


    To me, she was like an aphrodisiac!


    ¡°I could be awful sometimes, so behave yourself. Understood?¡±


    I reminded her to be mindful of her words and actions while living inside my ce. Then, I wiped the blood on her lips but she covered it with her hand.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t say you¡¯re horrible, Dale. I was referring to the kiss,¡± sheined.


    What has gotten into her? She shouldn¡¯t have insulted me with the way I kissed her! I narrowed my eyes as I moved a little closer to her body, and sniffed her like a puppy.


    She scooted away in fear! Little by little, until she managed to get inside the room, and then, she mmed the door in my face. I knocked several times but the stubborndy refused to open the sted door!


    ¡°Amber! Open the door, damn it!¡± I yelled at him but she continued to refuse in opening the door. ¡°Damn it, Amber!¡± he cursed at her again. ¡°Are you going to open the door or not?¡±


    Slowly, she turned the knob from the inside, but she just peeked her head outside to talk to me. I thought she would open the door but she didn¡¯t!


    ¡°Just leave me alone!¡±


    She shouted and moved to close the door, but I was fast enough to hold unto it, and pushed it wide open. For several years, I stayed celibate but she forced me into doing it with her.


    Since then, I got addicted to her, but I couldn¡¯t let her know that, or she would use the knowledge against me. She was the reason why the animal instinct inside me was overpowering my desire to avoid doing casual sex.


    Or maybe, it was because of our close proximity, and the knowledge that it was just in the house. I tried my best not to notice her gorgeous figure, but I was at the rope end of my patience.


    Earlier, I was just about to tell her that I was going out to meet a friend, but she provoked me. The discussion became intense when I reminded her of the assignment to seduce Jacob into sleeping with her.


    One thing lead to another, and here I am, at the door, wanting toy her down on a soft bed, and fucked her too hard! While she remained inside the room, I could smell the feminine scent emitting from her body.


    She was my mate, but I couldn¡¯t tell her that. On the other hand, she might be ignorant or what, but she wasn¡¯t able to tell we were mates. She only remembered meeting me a few years ago when I rescued her from the rogues. If it wasn¡¯t because of my tattoo, she wouldn¡¯t be able to tell!


    I must be crazy!


    I tried to mask my carnal desire for Amber by getting angry whenever possible and treating her indifferently, but my efforts were futile.


    My attraction toward her was intense, and I could no longer stop myself from giving in to temptation.


    ¡°Go away, Dale!¡±


    ¡°Not this time, Amber,¡± I said, and then I forcefully entered the room.


    The room wasn¡¯t spacious so she has nowhere to hide. Then, I cornered her.


    ¡°What are you doing?¡± She asked when I refused to distance myself from her.


    My eyes focused on her luscious lips that still has a blood mark from my bite, and I couldn¡¯t stare away from it. Then, I pushed her down unto the bed. She screamed as soon as my body fall on top of her. She tried pushing me away but I was too heavy so she couldn¡¯t get away from me.


    Then, I started to kiss her from the neck, up to the skin below her jaw, and then I moved to the side and licked her ears. She asked me to stop when she couldn¡¯t stand anymore from the ticklish sensation of my licking.


    ¡°Please¡­stop!¡± she begged me, so I stopped.


    ¡­but just for a moment. I stopped licking her sensitive skin, but soon, my mouth covered hers, and her eyes widened in shock. She didn¡¯t expect I would continue giving her pleasure even if she would do everything to protest.


    Amber gasped for air when my hand was on top of her breast, caressing her softness with care. Sometimes, I liked it rough, but this time, I was gentle while sucking on her lower lip, then my tongue was inside her mouth again.


    I could hear the sounds of her heartbeat because it was loud as my torrid kissing overpowered her senses. Yes, I was forceful and aggressive while shoving my tongue inside her mouth, but I didn¡¯t want to hurt her.


    Still, as I pulled her face into mine, the gentle movement of his lips was the exact opposite of the way I groped her breast.


    Gentle and savage.


    Kind but indifferent.


    ¡°Stop it!¡± she screamed when her mouth was freed.


    But I didn¡¯t listen and continued to touch her everywhere. She squirmed under my body and wriggled her feet to be free from me, but my weight subjugated her strength.


    As the woman continued to wrestle with me, I used some of my force to pin her down to the bed and limit her movements. One of my thighs was in between her legs and I used it to cause some friction on top of her feminine softness.


    Her soft sigh was greatly audible with our close proximity and it added fire to my burning desire to have her.


    Slowly, she parted her legs to feel me more, and she arched her buttocks to rub herself into my muscr thighs. She has gone totally crazy for wanting me, even if she was aware that I was just using her to satisfy my needs.


    She only realized that she was already naked when she felt the coldness of air from the air conditioning unit in the room. Then, she was embarrassed by her nudity and tried to cover her breast with her hands, but I pushed her hands away, and she was exposed. She couldn¡¯t look me in the eyes as I examined every inch of her naked form.


    ¡°Exquisite¡­,¡± I said, as I made little circles around her nipples, and then gently massage her soft breast. It was full and soft, and the size was too perfect for my hands.


    Amber whimpered as my other hand tried to touch the private part between her legs, and she breathed deeply as I rubbed my finger on her clitoris. She was embarrassed as she became wet by my gentle rubbing on her clitoris, and when I tried to prate her with my middle finger, she prepared herself for possible difort and pain.


    But I was very gentle, and she barely felt the difort of my invasion. Then, I moved my head down to her breast and sucked it like a baby. She moaned in delight as the pleasure I gave her became unbearable.


    My tongue traced the distance between her breast, and her abdomen until I reached my target. While licking her down there, she pulled on my hair. She begged me to stop but I couldn¡¯t stop! I was already addicted to her taste.


    Then, I pulled her body on top of me, and let her be on top. Her eyes widened in surprise but before she couldin, I entered her. I gripped hard on her waist and guided her body to move up and down into my hardness.


    Her breasts bounced with her every movement and my mouth tried to catch them one by one.


    My muscles became tense when I was about to find my release, and I thought of withdrawing my manhood before reaching orgasm but in the end, I didn¡¯t. I spilled everything inside her, after all, she was already pregnant with my child.


    ¡°You are cruel, Dale!¡± she murmured between her cries.


    I choose not toment on her usation. Instead, I picked up her dress that has scattered on the floor and threw it to her.


    ¡°Get dressed,¡± I ordered before storming out of the door, leaving her more disappointed than ever!


    I couldn¡¯t stay with her for another minute as my guilt sipped into my heart¡­slowly!


    Outside the bedroom, I listened to her crying, and for a moment, I wanted to go back inside. However, I couldn¡¯t bring myself to knock on the door. I took a deep sigh before taking a step away from the door.

 CHAPTER 14

    =-Amber¡¯s POV=-


    For a few minutes, I just stared at the door after he left. How could he just leave, right after he used my body for his own pleasure? He may not love me but the least he could do was to be gentle with me or even console me afterward. However, he did no such thing, and he just left¡­and vanished from my sight.


    Oh God, why was he so heartless?


    Since that day, I would cry helplessly at night. He has made me into his exclusive whore, and what¡¯s worse, I couldn¡¯t say no to him. At any time of the day, whenever he felt the urge to satisfy his sexual needs, he woulde into my room, and he would use my body any way he wanted.


    Any sane woman wouldin or find a way to escape from the horrible situation I was in, but I wasn¡¯t sane. I was crazy for him. I was totally insane to gain his love in the near future.


    I believed that if I could satisfy his sexual cravings, he would learn to love me very soon. Sooner orter, he would find it in his heart that he couldn¡¯t let me go. I just have to wait a little bit longer.


    Still, I wouldn¡¯t be able to forget his face every time he would leave me alone after the intercourse. He looked as if he dreaded even visiting me but he had no choice. He made me feel so ugly and hisst option.


    For me, it was painful to bear, to see him loathe my body after using it over and over again, but I am still willing to endure it. I may be crazy but I was willing to endure anything when ites to Dale. He would never hear mein as long as I could endure the pain of his abuse and indifference.


    It seemed to me that Dale liked to torture me physically or even emotionally. I really had no idea why he was so heartless when ites to me. Didn¡¯t he know that we were mates? How could I tell him that?Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    Or maybe he knew but he just let it slide because of his ambition. Maybe he ignored the fact that we were probably destined for each other because of his greed! He was so greedy and hungry for revenge against Alpha Marcus.


    Honestly, I had no idea how he could avenge everyone who was involved in his revenge n because of the current Alpha. He was friends with Alpha Jacob, and yet, he wanted to seek revenge against Jacob¡¯s family.


    One morning, I was busy in the kitchen, preparing our breakfast when I felt the need for the throw-up. I have always known that the scenting from crushed garlic could trigger my morning sickness, but he loved everything with garlic on it.


    As I continued to crush the garlic for the fried egg rice, I took a deep breath to rx. Then, I went to get a cup of hot water. It always helped, and then I put in a pinch of salt.


    ¡°Good morning!¡±


    I was bbergasted when I heard his voice. It wasn¡¯t his doing to check on me while cooking in the kitchen.


    ¡°Did I do something wrong, Dale?¡± I asked in confusion.


    ¡°Nope. Anyway, you look pale this morning. How are you feeling?¡±


    When he asked about my well-being, goodness, my heart almost skipped a beat! His question seemed to be genuine, and the way he looked at me, it was as if he was really worried about me.


    ¡°I¡¯m good, don¡¯t worry, just the normal morning sickness,¡± I told him.


    ¡°Well, I already told you what you should do about it, Amber,¡± he said.


    ¡°It¡¯s not an option for me, Dale. I can¡¯t get rid of the baby,¡± I reminded him about my stand regarding the termination of my pregnancy.


    I mean, how could he even suggest that horrible solution to me?


    ¡°That baby will only cause you some problems,¡± he said.


    ¡°Such as?¡±


    ¡°Such as getting married, Amber. I have asked Dale for a suitable man to be your husband. You should be grateful for my generosity, otherwise, you will end up just like the other omegas.¡±


    ¡°Are you saying that I should be thankful to you for selling me to a stranger?¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s not a total stranger, Amber. You are going to be the wife of Jacob¡¯s stepbrother. You know he has a lot of stepbrothers since Alpha Marcus was a bastard.¡±


    ¡°Dale, what are you talking about? I thought you are just kidding about my marriage!¡±


    ¡°Of course not! Why do I joke around? Anyway, is my breakfast ready?¡± he asked.


    ¡°Yes, please sit down. I will serve it hot on the table,¡± I told him.


    ¡°Good. I like you for being submissive, Amber. I am sure that your future husband will also be grateful to have a submissive wife like you,¡± he continued.


    ¡°Are you really going to give me to another man?¡± I asked in disbelief that he could do it to me.


    For everything that we did together, I really expected that he would fall on me but it seemed it was not going to happen anytime soon. He was so set on marrying me to another guy, even while knowing that I am carrying his child.


    ¡°Yes. One of these days, I will take you to ybourne where Jacob¡¯s brother was living. Compared to ybourne, you will be better off in nd, Amber.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the countryside!¡±


    ¡°Yes, it is the countryside, however, you can live there as a mistress, and not just a maid. Imagine being the mistress of your own home, having money on your own because Jacob¡¯s brother was generous I heard. You just have to y your card well,¡± he warned me.


    ¡°How can you do this to me, Dale? Since that day, you are cruel to me!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry but that¡¯s all I can say right now, Amber. Honestly, I feel bad for you but you came in handy during that situation. Besides, you shouldn¡¯t me everything on me. It was you who asked me to impregnate you, Amber.¡±


    Yes, it was true. I was the one who started it, but he should have realized that I have fallen for him as the days went by. He should have known that our constant intercourse has made me fall for him, despite his being heartless.


    I have a lot to talk to him but I knew it would just be useless. Dale was set on shipping me to nd, to marry me off to a certain stranger, regardless if it was Jacob¡¯s brother.


    I took another deep breath as I carried the tray containing his breakfast. He just look up when I served a bowl of hot chicken soup in front of him.


    ¡°I hope you like it,¡± I said before going back to the kitchen to retrieve his drink.


    When I returned to the table, he invited me to sit down. Of course, I had to refuse the invitation since I still have to cook my food. I don¡¯t like chicken and I preferred to have seafood soup in the morning.


    ¡°Join me,¡± he said.


    ¡°Thanks, but no thanks. I don¡¯t like chicken,¡± I admitted the truth.


    ¡°Then, you can eat the other dish, Amber. Come on, sit down and join me,¡± he insisted.


    ¡°As you wish, Dale,¡± I replied.


    ¡°By the way, let me remind you something, Amber. Even if you are already married to Jacob¡¯s stepbrother, you are still my person,¡± he said.


    I frowned at his statement because it was confusing.


    ¡°What do you mean by that?¡±


    ¡°I mean, whenever I am there, you have to serve me, too. Just like the usual,¡± he said.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you just kill me?¡±


    ¡°Not yet. You are still useful to me, Amber. Anyway, you have nothing to worry about Jacob¡¯s brother. I heard he is impotent, so probably, he wouldn¡¯t try to prate you with his manhood. Still, he may ask you to pleasure him with your mouth,¡± he continued.


    ¡°Dale!¡± I eximed in disbelief that he could say such disrespectful words to me. ¡°For goodness sake, did you really have to say that?¡±


    ¡°Why not? We are business partners, Amber.¡±


    ¡°Partners? Howe? I am your ve, and never your partner, Dale,¡± I correct him.

 CHAPTER 15

    =Dale¡¯s POV=-


    I was supposed to meet Jacob in the afternoon but when I found her taking a nap in my room while in the middle of doing her job, I decided to stay. She was lying on her side, and every time she would a deep breath, I could feel her sadness.


    I knew it was wrong to entertain the feelings growing inside me for the Omega, but I couldn¡¯t stop myself from moving closer to the bed. The bed creaked when I joined her.


    She was probably worried about her marriage to Jacob¡¯s stepbrother, or she wouldn¡¯t have dark circles around her beautiful eyes. Even in her sleep, she was so pretty, and before I could stop myself, I started to touch her cheek.


    I have always noticed it that for an omega, a born ve, her skin was unbelievably wless and smooth. As I continued to observe her, she took several deep breaths.


    Then, she purred in her sleep. I wondered if she was having a bad dream, but as much as I wanted tofort her, I wouldn¡¯t do such a thing. I had to maintain my indifference to the woman, or else, it would be difficult for both of us.


    I am cruel to Amber, I knew that. Since the day we met, I have never been kind to her. Yes, I agreed to her proposal to impregnate her, but it was because of my attraction to her.


    The moment she stepped into the clinic, I recognized her immediately as my mate. In fact, I remembered her from a long time ago, however, I couldn¡¯t be a softie when my n started to get positive results.


    At a young age, her beauty has always caused her trouble. I had always known that she was my mate. I have watched her from a distance, and that¡¯s the reason why I was able to save her from those rogues who nned to do some dirty deeds on her young body.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    There were days when I have regrets about saving her, but still, I should be thankful to Amber. If not because of her, my n to avenge my mother¡¯s death wouldn¡¯te true. Because of Amber, I was able to subdue Alpha Alpha Marcus. I needed to be ruthless to achieve my goal.


    For more than ten years, I have been working on it, so a certain Amber McBride wouldn¡¯t ruin his n. Not now, not ever! I wouldn¡¯t allow her to ruin my n for revenge. She may hate me forever, and I wouldn¡¯t give a damn.


    Marrying her to another man, to give her a secure home, was thest thing I could do for her as my mate. Since I wouldn¡¯t be able to take her as a wife, she¡¯s better off in the countryside. Jacob¡¯s impotent stepbrother would be a better choice for Amber.


    Being heartless to her was also hurting me, however, I couldn¡¯t just back out for the sake of love. Even if the woman has managed to crawl deep into my heart, I wouldn¡¯t allow her to stay inside, and that¡¯s why she had to leave the pack as soon as possible.


    Actually, my property in ybourne was my first choice, but having her close would be dangerous. Since I would be in ybourne most of the time because of Jacob, I couldn¡¯t afford to see her every day.


    When she smiled in her sleep, I also smiled, but then, I immediately scolded myself for acting like a sissy. But then, I couldn¡¯t control my hand. It moved on its own and began tracing my finger into her luscious lips. I was enjoying it until I noticed how her eyshes flickered.


    I immediately rolled over from the bed and red at her.


    ¡°Who told you to take a nap in my room, Amber? Get up immediately and do your work!¡± I snapped at her, and then I strolled toward the bathroom to cool down my body.


    Earlier, while I was tracing a line on her soft lips, I became hard. Actually, I had no idea why her scent would immediately turn me on as if it was the only aphrodisiac I needed in my all life.


    After washing my face with ice-cold water, I stayed in the bathroom for a few minutes. When I got out, she was no longer in my room. I thought she didn¡¯t finish her job of cleaning my sleeping area, but she was done. I couldn¡¯t find a trace of dust everywhere!


    I walked to the closet to get a new shirt since I sshed some water into my clothes earlier. Damn! She really had to go as soon as possible!


    After donning a new shirt, I went outside to check on her. She was not in the sitting room or nearby. I was tempted to shout for her name, but I held myself pretty well.


    Since my new couch was inviting, I walked toward it and sat down. Then, I grabbed a magazine to read, but it was boring, so I ended up opening the television to watch a basketball game.


    Watching the game forced me to focus instead of Amber. When she appearedter on, I was shocked to see her standing so close to me.


    ¡°What is it?¡± I snapped at her again.


    ¡°I am done, Dale,¡± she informed me and then was ready to leave.


    ¡°Where do you think you¡¯re going?¡± I asked while grabbing one of her hands when she tried to leave that fast.


    ¡°Dale, you are hurting me! What¡¯s wrong with you? Let me go!¡±


    As she tried to get away from me, I wanted to set her free but I couldn¡¯t bring myself to do it. I wanted to hold her a little more. I knew that the moment he would leave the pack, I wouldn¡¯t be so free in meeting her again.


    ¡°Pack your things, Amber. We are going to nd in an hour,¡± he said.

 CHAPTER 16

    ***Amber¡¯s Pov***


    When Dale insisted on taking me to nd, I questioned him about my previous task to seduce Alpha Jacob, and to make everyone believe that the child inside my tummy belonged to the Alpha.


    He replied that he would take care of it. He also imed to have done what was necessary to make the Luna believe it.


    At that moment, I realized I needed to step up; I needed to escape from the heartless beta. Each day, he has be more dangerous, and I knew that I yed a big role in his n of revenge.


    Without me, he wouldn¡¯t be able to aplish anything, and that¡¯s what I thought before leaving his house.


    For several days, I wandered in a strange ce. I had be a rogue myself. Thankfully, I met someone with a kind heart, and she allowed me to stay in her ce for the time being.


    I was so grateful to the woman, and at the same time, I was scared. I was scared that Dale would suddenly show up at her new ce.


    My new friend named Herlie was working at a bar as a waitress, while I did theundry for our neighbors in the squatter¡¯s area.


    It was fine at the beginning but the ie was low. I needed more in order to save more, so when Herlie suggested that I should try working at the bar, I agreed without hesitation.


    I had to grab the chance while my baby bump was not yet obvious. Besides, I asked Herlie if I could be selective about the job since I didn¡¯t want to sleep with strangers.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you an expert in doing massage?¡± she asked and when I nodded, she immediately informed her boss


    On the spot, I was hired as a masseuse, but there was a catch. I needed to do hotel or home services for their important clients. The boss assured me that it was purely business and his clients were not rapists.


    ¡°Well, this is it, Amber!¡±


    I said to myself as I entered the elevator, and pressed the button leading to the penthouse of Gxy Hotel.


    Using the handkerchief I was carrying, I wiped the sweat on my hands, as well as on my neck. I was so nervous!


    When I was almost at the penthouse, I opened my bag and sprayed a fragrant body mist on my body


    When the elevator opened, I didn¡¯t hesitate to go out. My steps were loud on the tiled floor, but I was confident.


    Doing a massage was one of the skills I learned before joining the harem of Alpha Marcus.


    Whoever was my first client, I could tell he was extremely rich! Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t be able to afford the entire penthouse.


    Then a staff member approached me and told me to follow her. She also said that my client was currently in the pool.


    When I arrived at the indoor pool, I couldn¡¯t help but notice it had a simr form and design to the indoor pool in Dale¡¯s house.


    ¡°Have a seat, Amber.¡±


    I was too close to him, and yet I wasn¡¯t able to see his face clearly. If only the area where he was lounging was not dimmed, then I wouldn¡¯t have a hard time seeing his face.


    However, his grumpy voice reminded him of Dale.


    It was just a voice, but it sounds good, and it reminded her of the heartless bastard.


    ¡°Thank you, sir,¡± I replied but then I wondered where would I be sitting.


    In the vacant chaise lounge next to him?


    I looked around and when I saw a chair nearby, I immediately walked toward it but he called me again.


    ¡°So, I will be your first customer?¡±This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± I answered shyly but then he suddenlyughed.


    ¡°And what do you think of me? Stupid?¡±


    ¡°No, you are not stupid, sir. However, I will not force you to believe me.¡±


    ¡°Alright. Anyway, whether I am the first or not, I will pay the agreed amount.¡±


    ¡°I hope you are not lying,¡± I said to him


    ¡°Why would I lie, Amber?¡±


    The second time he mentioned my name casually, I began to worry. He pronounced my name as if he was so familiar with it.


    Then, he called one of his staff to get a document from his office.


    When the staff returned with the document he requested, he told me to sign it. I epted the papers from his staff and signed them without reading the entire document.


    ¡°You should read the document before signing, Amber. It¡¯s risky, I mean, what you did was risky,¡¯ he said.


    ¡°What¡¯s the document about? Care to tell me about it?¡±


    ¡°Confidentiality agreement,¡± he replied but I doubt if it¡¯s true. ¡°Wait for me in the room, just ask the staff,¡± he added.


    I followed his order, and leave him at the pool. The staff immediately brought me to his bed.


    I dropped my bag into the leather couch and started to undress, but he came all of a sudden.


    ¡°Please shower first,¡± hemanded.


    When he insinuated that I am a dirty type of woman, I was greatly embarrassed.


    I took a quick shower as instructed and when I came out of the bathroom, he was already in bed.


    ¡°If you¡¯re ready, I¡¯m ready too,¡± I told him.


    ¡°Then what are you waiting for? Let¡¯s start,¡± he replied, and then he changed his position.


    I sort of expected that I was talking to Dale earlier, so the moment he allowed me to see his face, I was not so surprised.


    He was only wearing boxer shorts so the sight of his bare torso was tempting me.


    ¡°Just get some almond oil inside the drawer,¡± he ordered, and then he gestured for me to return to the bathroom where he stored it, along with his other toiletries.


    I nodded.


    As soon as I came back with a bottle of almond oil, he told me to start massaging his back.


    ¡°Just a massage?¡±I asked, in case he wanted an additional service


    ¡°Why, what do you expect? I don¡¯t have sex with prostitutes, Amber.¡±


    I just swallowed the hurtful words the man threw at me. At least, I won¡¯t be harmed tonight.


    ¡°Soft or hard?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s up to you, Amber. Do the usual for me,¡± he stated.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± I said when I started to massage his back.


    ¡°Sorry for what? For leaving me?¡±


    I regretted apologizing for what I did several weeks ago just to avoid getting married to aplete stranger.


    Instead of responding to his inquiry, I decided to focus on the task at hand.


    ¡°Harder,¡± Dale moaned when he felt my hands on his shoulders.


    But I wished he wouldn¡¯t moan so hard while being massaged. The sounding out of his mouth was making me horny for goodness sake!


    ¡°God, it¡¯s been a long time since I had a massage. I really missed the way you helped me to rx, Amber.¡±


    He wanted me to do it harder but his body was all muscles! Suddenly, I thought of something useful!


    ¡°Stop!¡± The man shouted.


    ¡°Dale?¡±


    ¡°My God, Amber! Did you use your elbow for the massage? What do you think of me, a tough-skinned buffalo?¡± he snapped at me.


    Then, he pushed me away before he sat up.


    ¡°I said I wanted to rx, Amber, but what did you do?¡±


    When he suddenly stood up, I panicked as the towel fell from my body. I should have used the robe, but I expected him to use me like a whore tonight.


    ¡°As I was saying a while ago ¨C


    Dale couldn¡¯t finish what he wanted to say when he saw my naked body lying on his bed.


    ¡°I told you that I don¡¯t have sex with people like you, get up there and get dressed. Then, change the bedsheet of my bed.¡±


    I thought he really considered me a dirty human being but then he showed me the part of his bed sheet where I identally spilled some oil.


    After changing the sheet, I immediately looked for him. He was on the balcony, smoking a cigarette.


    ¡°Excuse me, can I go home now?¡±


    ¡°Where are you going home, Amber? In a rented boarding house in a squatter¡¯s area? I don¡¯t know why you put up with it. Where do you think you¡¯re going while being pregnant with my child?¡±


    For the first time, he called the baby his. I was ttered but knowing Dale, I had to be vignt.


    ¡°Why are you doing this, Dale?¡±


    ¡°Because you belong to me, Amber. You are my ve,¡± he dered.

 CHAPTER 17

    =-Amber¡¯s POV=-


    ¡°Amber?¡±


    ¡°Yes, Dale?¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go home,¡± he said.


    I frowned at him but then I realized that he had every right to take me back home. Just like what he said earlier, I belonged to his household, as his servant, and nothing more.


    ¡°Right now?¡± I asked because I couldn¡¯t just leave without telling my friend, Herlie.


    ¡°Yes. Wait, are you scared?¡±Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    ¡°You can¡¯t me me, Dale,¡± I replied.


    ¡°I understand but now that I found you again, I can¡¯t let you get away from me.¡±


    If only he would tell me how much he loved me, then I would be in his arms immediately.


    After putting on a white t-shirt, he took his wallet and left the room. He caught up with me at the doorway.


    When we arrived at the hotel¡¯s lobby, his driver was immediately there to meet us.


    ¡°Can¡¯t you walk faster?¡± he asked.


    ¡°Faster? Why don¡¯t you try wearing these high-heeled shoes, Dale?¡±


    If only he had an idea how much the high-heeled shoes were hurting my feet, then maybe, he wouldn¡¯t demand me to walk faster. Still, I did as I was told, and tried my best to work faster.


    When we reached the parking area, his vehicle was already there and waiting for us. The car¡¯s door was already opened for both of us, and Dale let me go inside first. Then, he gave some instructions to his driver.


    I was only gone for a few days but Dale acted like a totally different person. He seemed different from the Dale that I used to. Right now, he appeared to be bossy for his own good, and he was even bossier than Alpha Jacob.


    Was it normal for the Beta to act too high and mighty when the Alpha wasn¡¯t around?


    In less than an hour, I was back at his mansion, where he lived alone. If only he would bring in more servants to help me with the household words, but he seemed to be having fun while watching me working so hard to maintain his ce.


    ¡°Come in, Amber. I will show you where your bedroom is,¡± he said, trying to be so hospitable at the moment.


    When he noticed that I was reluctant to follow him, he grabbed my wrist and dragged me into the grand staircase leading to the second floor of his abode.


    ¡°My fault. Sorry,¡± he said, and then he started descending the stairs.


    ¡°What do you mean? Where are you going?¡± I asked in bewilderment.


    ¡°To the servant¡¯s quarter where you belonged,¡± he replied in a menacing tone.


    ¡°Are you serious right now?¡± I asked Dale because he could be joking.


    Since he took me to live with him, he made it sure that my room would befortable, especially at night. My old room was spacious enough for a king-sized bed, and therge window was overlooking the nearby ocean.


    ¡°Yes. I had been nice to you, Amber, but what did you do? You escaped in the middle of the night; endangering the baby whose living inside your womb!¡±


    ¡°Why do you care about the baby? You even suggested that the pregnancy should be terminated, Dale!¡±


    ¡°Enough of this foolish discussion. Once you are settled in the maids¡¯ quarter, go to bed early. I know you are tired, and tomorrow, you will be busy,¡± he cautioned me.


    ¡°Busy about what? Are theying again?¡±


    ¡°Jacob wille soon to visit me, Amber,¡± he replied.


    Once, I visited the maid¡¯s quarter to clean the rooms but the living space was small, just enough for a single bed, and nothing else. As we continued to walk side by side toward the maids¡¯ quarter, I silently prayed that Dale would change his mind once again.


    ¡°You can use this room,¡± he said when we reached our destination.


    ¡°As in here?¡±


    My question sounded like aint to his ears, so I didn¡¯t wonder when he red at me. Well, it was really aint. What¡¯s the point of bringing me back into the mansion when he would let me sleep in a tiny room?


    It¡¯s a very small room with just a single bed and no mattress. Just the bed frame and one pillow. Not even a nket.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t want to be here, you can be in my room¡­and be my whore once again. However, I would appreciate it if you will refuse my invitation, Amber. Who knows how many men have you slept with when you leave here?¡±


    ¡°Dale, why are you so cruel to me?¡±


    ¡°You call this cruelty, Amber? Then, you don¡¯t know what the word really means,¡± he said. ¡°Let¡¯s share my bedroom if you want to,¡± he teased her.


    When he wouldn¡¯t stop teasing me into sleeping with him again, I immediately crossed my arms on my chest especially when his eyes wouldn¡¯t stop scrutinizing my body.


    ¡°Are you a sex maniac, Dale?¡± I asked him in disbelief.


    ¡°You know that I am not a sex maniac, Amber. If there¡¯s someone who¡¯s always horny whenever we are together, it is you,¡± he said.


    ¡°Bastard,¡± I snapped at him. ¡°Anyway, what will be my job now? Is it the same as before? Should I work as your all-around maid who has no day off and is required to please you in bed?¡±


    ¡°Minus the bed, Amber. Right now, I can¡¯t imagine myself sleeping with someone like you,¡± he insulted her.


    For a moment, I was confused by his statement. Somehow, it felt like an insult but there was something in his eyes when he said those words. Was it desire or malice?


    ¡°All around maid,¡± he announced.


    ¡°Alright,¡± I agreed since it wouldn¡¯t be hard to work as an all-around maid with him. ¡°By the way, you have a lot of money, Dale.¡±


    ¡°Yes, I have,¡± he replied.


    ¡°So, why don¡¯t you get a lot of household help to work here?¡± I inquired out of curiosity.


    ¡°I think I have already told you my reason, Amber. I am a private person,¡± he said.


    ¡°And your point is?¡±


    ¡°My point is, I don¡¯t need a stranger who would possibly gossip about me when I am not around,¡± he replied.


    ¡°Who would dare to gossip about the Beta? I don¡¯t think anyone is capable of doing that, Dale.¡±


    ¡°We will never know, Amber. Do you want anyone else to know that you gave me the liberty to use your body anytime? That I am the one who made you pregnant? Nobody should know about the truth except for Alpha Marcus,¡± he reminded her.


    ¡°What if he will wake up one day?¡± I asked worriedly because the moment Alpha Marcus would wake up, I would be the first person he would look for.


    ¡°I doubt it will happen in the next few years,¡± Dale said confidently.


    ¡°What makes you so confident that he wouldn¡¯t wake up, Dale? What did you do?¡±


    ¡°Oh, nothing dangerous, but with his current state, it would be impossible for Alpha Marcus to wake up, Amber. It¡¯s good for us if he wouldn¡¯t wake up forever,¡± he told her.


    ¡°Y-yeah, but I don¡¯t want you to be a murderer, Dale.¡±


    ¡°A murderer? I didn¡¯t kill him! He has a disease, and that¡¯s the reason why he copsed that day!¡±


    ¡°Still, it was you who triggered it!¡±


    ¡°Are you sure about it, Amber? In case you have forgotten about what happened, should I fill you in on the details?¡±


    ¡°Never mind, Dale. If I am allowed, can take a rest now? I am tired,¡± I told him because he has be a chatterbox, and if he wouldn¡¯t stop talking, I wouldn¡¯t be able to sleep.


    He smirked in response.


    ¡°What? Are you not going to let me sleep? I am tired, Dale,¡± I informed him.


    ¡°What makes you so tired, Amber? We didn¡¯t do anything yet, so don¡¯t tell me that you have be weak. I have always known you as a strong person, so going to sleep at this time is really unbelievable,¡± he said.


    ¡°So, what about it?¡±


    ¡°After you change your clothes,e outside to the pavilion. Let¡¯s have coffee there,¡± he proposed.


    ¡°Having coffee at this time, Dale is inappropriate. Can we just do it next time? I am really tired,¡± I continued to tell him a lie, hoping that he would buy it, but it seemed he didn¡¯t believe me even a little.


    ¡°Alright, if you are tired, go to sleep now. I will see you again in the morning,¡± he said.


    ¡°Why would you see me again in the morning? I know this ce by heart, Dale. I can aplish my work without your supervision,¡± I told him that it wasn¡¯t necessary to check on me first thing in the morning.


    ¡°I insist,¡± he said.

 CHAPTER 18

    =-Amber¡¯s POV=-


    The following morning, I woke up around four in the morning. Since it was still early to go out, I decided to do some squats inside the tiny space for an hour.


    Then, at five in the morning, I went outside to start doing my work, only to be shocked when I found him lounging outside my small room. I frowned at Dale because he acted differently from his usual grumpy state. Was he trying so hard to befriend me or to be nice to me?


    ¡°Good morning, Dale,¡± I greeted him because what else should I tell him when he was there waiting for me?


    ¡°I¡¯m d you woke up in time, Amber. You better start your work at this hour. Clean the house, then make me something to eat. Something delicious, alright?¡±


    ¡°Dale, I know my duties here, so you don¡¯t have to remind me this early. Have you forgotten that I was working here for a long time before I had the courage to leave?¡±


    ¡°And you met a strange woman who made you so confident, Amber. What happened after you left the mansion? It feels like you have be an entirely different person. You are no longer demure and meek,¡± he remarked.


    ¡°People change, Dale. When I leave the pack, I realized that being weak would just keep me being bullied and used,¡± I told him.


    ¡°And did your situation change? Do you think you are no longer a tool for people like me?¡±


    ¡°Shut up! My situation will never change if you will always be involved with my life,¡± Iined.


    ¡°You have a choice to change the situation in an easy way, Amber. Get married to Jacob¡¯s stepbrother, and be a mistress of a property in the countryside,¡± he suggested.


    ¡°Then, what will happen to me? What¡¯s the difference between being there and being your ve? I couldn¡¯t see any difference, Dale,¡± I stated a fact.


    ¡°But at least in the countryside, you got to have your own house, and I heard that his property isrge. It will be a total change for your financial situation,¡± he exined further.


    ¡°By being his whore,¡± I mumbled.


    ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s right, but I think he is a better man than me, Amber.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want a better man, Dale. I just want to be able to live my own life,¡± I said.


    ¡°You have be so stubborn and ungrateful! Don¡¯t you know how much work I put into just for you to have an advantageous marriage? With your status as a lowborn omega, it would be challenging to get a rich husband, Amber.¡±


    ¡°If you expected me to say thank you, then I thank you with all of my heart for being concerned about my wellbeing, Dale. That being said, can I leave now? I still have a lot of things to do,¡± I told him.


    Honestly speaking, I was dumbfounded at his constant hovering over me. He wasn¡¯t like that in the past. Actually, I found it annoying but there could be something he couldn¡¯t exin to tell me.


    Still, I questioned myself because the moment our eyes meet, I realized that I was still mesmerized by his charms, or it was better to say that I was still smitten by his attractive face.


    Was it true that first love would never die?


    Yes, he was drop dead gorgeous but he was so impossible to deal with. I couldn¡¯t risk everything for him anymore. I had enough of his indifference in the past, and I shouldn¡¯t let him walk over me again.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    ¡°Come on, Amber. Why are you so hard on yourself? Try to rx, it¡¯s just the two of us here,¡± he said.


    ¡°How can I rx, Dale? I don¡¯t even know what you are nning to do with me,¡± I admitted the truth.


    ¡°Nothing has changed between us, Amber. You are still you, and I am still. You are my ve and I am your master, understand?¡±


    After he said those words, I wondered how long I would be able to survive living under the same roof as Dale! If he was arrogant before, he became worse, and I couldn¡¯t even describe our situation!


    Fortunately, Alpha Jacob canceled his visit and instead called Dale to join him in the city for something important.


    He was not in the house for a week, so I was able to enjoy my alone time in his mansion. However, during the days when he wasn¡¯t around, I kinda missed him. In fact, I waited for his call, but he didn¡¯t bother to check on me while he was with the man he considered his best friend.


    When he finally came home after a week, I expected to see some difference in his treatment toward me. I thought he would be nicer but what happened was the opposite. He became worse.


    As a master, Dale was cruel.


    When I asked him to visit Herlie at least once in order to inform my friend about what happened to me, he said it wouldn¡¯t matter, and that I should just forget about Herlie. He said the woman wasn¡¯t important!


    I was saddened because of it. I really missed Herlie, and I wanted to talk to the woman badly. Unfortunately, HErlie¡¯s number couldn¡¯t be reached anymore, so I was a little worried about her.


    Dale would always remind me that as a ve, I should always follow his words. He also reiterated that his words were the rules inside his house. Of course, I agreed to his im, however, he was supposed to give me a day off.


    ¡°Did you just wake up?¡± Dale asked angrily when he found me in the kitchen and just started cooking his breakfast.


    ¡°It¡¯s still early, it¡¯s not even six o¡¯clock,¡± I exined that I wasn¡¯t thatte. ¡°It¡¯s you who woke up earlier than usual, Dale.¡±


    ¡°Hurry up because I¡¯m hungry,¡± he ordered. ¡°By the way, I have a guestter so clean the swimming pool thoroughly.¡±


    ¡°All right. I¡¯ll just call you when the food is ready,¡± I told him but he suddenly red at me. Did I say something wrong?


    ¡°Hurry up, then!¡±

 CHAPTER 19

    =-Amber¡¯s POV=-


    ¡°After you finish cleaning the pool, you should also cook something good because Jacob ising today,¡± Dale said while he was standing at the kitchen door.


    ¡°All right. Anything else?¡±


    ¡°Have you seen the list? Those were Jacob¡¯s favorite so make sure to prepare all of it,¡± he instructed.


    ¡°You also wrote that in the list, Dale. Can¡¯t you see that I am preparing the ingredients right now?¡±


    I asked but when he kept on standing at the doorway, I narrowed my eyes at him. When I raised the tip of my eyebrow, he just grinned as if there was something funny.


    ¡°Do you have something else to tell me, Dale?¡±


    ¡°No more,¡± Dale angrily left the kitchen.


    For a moment, I wondered what was wrong with him. Lately, I noticed that he has be moody every single day. There were times when I wanted to talk to him about it, but I decided not to worry about his feelings anymore.


    After all, he was so cruel when ites to me. It¡¯s about time I should give a damn about him anymore! If he wanted to use me in his n for revenge, then, so be it. However, I decided to guard my heart for the time being.


    I decided that I should just mind my own life, and as long as he would pay me handsomely being his ve and a tool, then I believed it would be eptable.


    Around eleven o¡¯clock in the morning, I finished everything. I am done cleaning the pool; I finished cooking his friend¡¯s favorite food; and of course, the entire house was cleaned. Supposedly, I would rest after doing everything, but Dale told me to be on standby mode because of Jacob.


    ¡°Amber¡­,¡± Dale called my name while I was about to return to my room to take a quick shower.


    ¡°What is it, Master Dale? Do you need something else?¡±


    ¡°Jacob has arrived, please bring us some cold beers at the pool,¡± Dale ordered.


    For a moment, I frowned because Alpha Jacob came earlier than expected. However, it¡¯s just for a few seconds, because I immediately reminded myself that as his ve, I should always obey him. After a while of convincing myself to remain calm and nice, I smiled at him, and I was ready to do whatever he wanted me to do.


    ¡°How many bottles?¡±


    ¡°A bucket will do, and don¡¯t forget to put a lot of ice cubes in the bucket,¡± he ordered.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll just bring it to the pool in a few minutes,¡± I replied with a smile.


    How long should I endure his maltreatment of me?


    When I got to the pool with a bucket of beer, I was embarrassed when they both looked at me. Dale was extremely handsome and Alpha Jacob was drop-dead gorgeous!


    Both men were pleasant to look at, but my eyes only focused on Dale. Still, I was embarrassed in front of Alpha Jacob especially when he was obviously staring at me.


    ¡°Just put it here and go back inside, Amber. Then, prepare a guest room for Alpha Jacob,¡± Dale told me.


    ¡°Of course, Dale,¡± I answered.


    Since yesterday, I wanted to rest properly but Dale asked me to run a lot of errands for him. He asked me to do theundry, and then today, he has a guest. He really wanted to exhaust all of my energy.


    ¡°Clean his room thoroughly, okay? Alpha Jacob shouldn¡¯t sleep in a room with a speck of dust,¡± he reminded me.


    Then, I realized that Dale was trying to make me feel so inferior in front of Alpha Jacob. Dale wanted to make me feel so embarrassed of my low status. Then, I heard him criticize me in front of Alpha Jacob. Then, the Alphaughed as if it was aughing matter.


    For a moment, I wondered what was going on inside Dale¡¯s head. I am already his ve, so there¡¯s no reason to do all of those backhanded things to humiliate me as a woman with low birth status.


    ¡°Which guest room will he use?¡± I inquired to change the topic.


    ¡°Are you stupid? Anything as long as it¡¯s clean!¡±Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    He raised his voice at me. It was humiliating to be yelled at when someone was around, but I had to keep my cool. I just bowed my head before leaving to start preparing the guest room.


    Actually, my legs were tired from working since four in the morning. I really wanted to take a hot shower because it would always help me to rx my muscles.


    From the swimming pool, I went straight upstairs, and then I choose a room next to Dale¡¯s bedroom. While I changed the bed cover, my arms hurt a lot because the mattresses in the room were all heavy, and I had to lift them to ce the bedspread properly.


    After changing the bed sheet, I also change the curtains and then vacuumed the entire room. I was about to finish when Dale suddenly entered.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you, Dale? You startled me! You always pop up like a mushroom! Anyway, do you need anything?¡±


    ¡°You should bring a towel to the pool and give it to Jacob,¡± he ordered.


    ¡°Okay,¡± I replied.


    When he ordered me to bring a towel for Alpha Jacob, I thought that he was not going back to the pool, but he followed me with his own towel. He could have brought the towel himself, instead of asking me to bring it to Alpha Jacob!


    But of course, I couldn¡¯tin, so I just tried to calm down. Then, I took a deep breath, several deep breaths to remain calm.


    I continued walking toward the pool, while Dale was following me. A few minutester, I was getting closer to the outdoor pool. Actually, I still couldn¡¯t understand why Dale had several swimming pools in his residence. There was an outdoor pool, an indoor pool, and a pool on the rooftop. He was really crazy about spending his money.


    Was he richer than the Alpha?


    ¡°Oh, my God!¡±


    I immediately covered my eyes with the towel I was carrying, and then I tried to retreat. I was going back to where I came from but Dale was already there.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Didn¡¯t I order you to give that towel to Jacob? Where do you think you¡¯re going, Amber?¡±


    Dale was really a bastard. He didn¡¯t even tell me that Alpha Jacob was swimming in the pool without anything on. The Alpha was naked as a wee baby!


    ¡°Hey, Amber! Is there something wrong? Answer me, bitch!¡±


    ¡°Nothing, Dale,¡± I replied, and then I gave him the towel before trying to walk away but Dale quickly grabbed my wrist and stopped me from leaving.


    ¡°Where are you going, bitch?¡±


    ¡°Let me go, please. You are hurting me!¡±


    I struggled to get away from his tight grip.


    ¡°Give that to Jacob first before you go back inside,¡± he ordered.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry but I can¡¯t do that, Dale,¡± I told him.


    ¡°Can you tell me why?¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s naked, for goodness sake!¡±


    ¡°Wait, did you just raise your voice at me, Amber? Have you forgotten who you are? Stop making a fuss and give it to Jacob!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± I apologize for being disobedient.


    Slowly, I walked away from Dale and strolled toward Alpha Jacob. I expected to see him naked again but luckily, he was already wearing a robe. But still, I have already seen him in his naked state.


    ¡°Dale told me you need a towel, Alpha Jacob,¡± I mumbled in a barely audible voice because I wasn¡¯t confident to face him again.


    Actually, there were some features on Alpha Marcus on his son¡¯s face! It was as if I was looking at Alpha Marcus again.


    ¡°Oh yes, thank you very much, Amber. By the way, how are you doing? Do you like working here or in my residence?¡±


    When he asked me that question, I became nervous. Dale told me that his Luna was already suspicious about me, and the baby inside my tummy. Should I do what¡¯s needed to be done to keep my baby safe?


    ¡°I am good, Alpha Jacob, thank you for asking about my welfare,¡± I replied.


    ¡°Did my Beta tell you about your marriage with my brother?¡± he asked.


    ¡°Yes, he did, Alpha Jacob. He always reminded me that getting married to your brother will be advantageous to me,¡± I repeated what Dale had said to me in the past.


    ¡°Of course, it is. The countryside will be good for you and your child, Amber. Can you tell me now who is responsible for your pregnancy? Was it my father?¡±


    For a moment, I was rendered speechless. If I would tell him the truth, then Dale would be so mad at me. In the middle of my dilemma, Dale came smilingly. He intentionally disrupted my conversation with the Alpha to keep our secret.


    Dale once mentioned that Jacob was a rogue who slept with countless women. If I would tell him that I once slept with him, then there was a chance that Alpha Jacob would believe it.


    Besides, I once serve him in his residence when he assumed the role of an Alpha, and he had just gotten married to his Luna.


    ¡°Stop it, Jacob. Everything with a skirt is good for you. Get lost, Amber,¡± Dale said.


    ¡°Dale¡­,¡± I murmured.


    ¡°Go back inside now!¡± he yelled.

 CHAPTER 20

    =- Dale¡¯s POV=-


    Earlier, I yelled at Amber for overstaying at the pool, as if, she was trying to seduce my friend, Jacob. She was just supposed to give my friend a towel, but she dared to start a conversation with Jacob while knowing it would be dangerous for both of them if their secret would be revealed.


    ¡°Dale, is there something wrong? You look furious over something,¡± Jacob asked.


    ¡°Why do you think I am furious, Jacob?¡± I responded with a question.


    ¡°Come on, Dale! We have been friends for a long time and I saw how you look at your servant,¡± he teased me because of Amber.


    ¡°She¡¯s just a maid,¡± I told him.


    ¡°A very beautiful maid,¡± Jacob stated a fact. ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t understand why you are so cruel to the woman, dude. Isn¡¯t she your mate? I thought you will be happy to find her atst!¡±


    ¡°Why, Jacob? Were you happy to find your mate?¡± I responded with another question and Jacob immediately frowned.


    Before meeting the love of his life, Jacob has a mate named Ruby, and he was engaged to the woman. However, Jacob didn¡¯t love Ruby. Or maybe at that time, he wasn¡¯t ready to get married yet. When his father forced him into the union, he ran away from the pack and became a rogue.


    As a rogue, he found his calling and then he became the youngest Mayor in the city of ybourne. When Jacob ran away, Alpha Marcus couldn¡¯t choose another heir, and instead of having one of his illegitimates seed him, Alpha Marcus revived the omega pregnancy program.


    All women who were omegas were groomed to be his women, and omegas who reached the age of eighteen were required to sleep with Alpha Marcus. It was the darkest era in the pack, where women were forced to mate with the Alpha and to bear him a child¡­without knowing that Alpha Marcus could no longer father a child.


    Several women from the omega ss have died through suicide, and some were imprisoned in the dungeon after failing to be pregnant. Then, Amber McBride¡¯s time to be one of the Alpha¡¯s women hase, and everything was ruined!


    Amber McBride overheard us talking about the real health condition of the Alpha, and then she boldly asked me to fuck her and to make her pregnant. At that time, it was a crazy proposal but I wasn¡¯t in my right mind that time. Her beauty was mesmerizing so when she asked with those eyes, I couldn¡¯t say no to the woman.


    Then, I couldn¡¯t get enough of her!


    ¡°Hey, Dale! Are you listening?¡±


    ¡°Oh yeah, what is it?¡±


    ¡°Why are you cruel to Amber, dude? If you don¡¯t want her, you can always give her back to me,¡± Jacob said.


    ¡°Bite your tongue, Jacob. It¡¯s not going to happen,¡± I told him.


    ¡°Oh, man. Just rx. Amber is not my type,¡± Jacob rified.


    I didn¡¯t respond to his statement. I just red at him, until Jacob narrowed his eyes at me.


    ¡°Dale, what¡¯s gotten into you? I told you she¡¯s not my type!¡±


    ¡°Good! Because she¡¯s mine,¡± I dered but Jacob justughed at my statement.


    ¡°Rx, Dale,¡± Jacob said but I couldn¡¯t rx when ites to Jacob. ¡°Anyway, are you sure she¡¯s going to bring us food? I am hungry,¡± heined.


    ¡°She¡¯s probably on her way right now,¡± I assured Jacob.


    Earlier, after snapping at Amber, I instructed her toe back with our lunch.


    So, as expected, when I saw hering toward us, I smiled. Then, my eyes focused on her as she ced the tray with food on the table nearby. She set the table efficiently.


    ¡°Do you need anything else, Dale?¡± she asked.


    ¡°Please clean the pool again while Jacob and I will have our lunch. Did you see those leaves?¡±


    It was true that were a few leaves in the swimming pool but those leaves didn¡¯te from the trees nearby. I put those leaves there so that she wouldn¡¯t be able to rest while I am entertaining Jacob.


    ¡°Okay, noted on that, Dale,¡± she answered as if she knew the reason why there were leaves in the water.


    When Jacob and I walked toward the table where Amber ced our lunch, she immediately went to the edge of the pool to clean to start cleaning. She adjusted her uniform so that she could workfortably.


    The leaves were mostly in the middle of the pool, so it would be challenging for her to get those leaves.


    ¡°Are you done, Amber?¡± I asked in a loud voice so that she could hear me but she seemed oblivious to her surrounding and focused on the task at hand.


    ¡°I think she didn¡¯t hear you, Dale,¡± Jacobmented.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, I think I should go to her,¡± I said.


    ¡°Then, I will eat ahead of you. I am starving, dude.¡±


    ¡°Go on,¡± I said before walking toward Amber who was standing at the edge of the pool.


    She was surprised when I called her name as I approached her, and then she frowned at me.


    ¡°Do you need anything, Dale?¡± she asked.


    ¡°What took you so long to clean the pool, Amber?¡±This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry but the leaves are in the middle, so it¡¯s a little difficult to get all of them with this leaf skimmer, Dale,¡± she exined.


    ¡°Are you really stupid? Can¡¯t you swim?¡± I snapped at her without a valid reason, then I pushed her into the pool.


    She was struggling in the water, but I thought she was just faking it, then my eyes widened when the realization hit me that she really couldn¡¯t swim.


    ¡°Help! Help me!¡± she screamed for help while trying to swim toward the edge.


    Even though I saw how much she struggled in the water, I didn¡¯t dare to jump into the pool to help her. She struggled to catch her breath, and her chest probably hurt for trying so hard. However, I just keep on standing at the edge before walking away.


    I abandoned her while she was struggling to get out of the water. Suddenly, I couldn¡¯t move my legs. I turned around to watch her one more time, and her eyes were closed.


    As her body gradually sank under the water, I saw Jacob running toward the pool, and without any hesitation, Jacob jumped into the water and rescued Amber from drowning.


    ¡°Are you alright?¡± he asked Amber.


    When Jacob positioned Amber on the ground and prepared the woman to receive a mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, my eyes widened in shock. I was watching when Jacob pinched her nose, but before his mouth could touch her lips, I was immediately there to stop him.


    ¡°Allow me, Jacob,¡± I said.


    ¡°I am fine now,¡± she stated, and for a moment, I wondered if she was just faking her struggles earlier just to get the attention of Alpha Jacob!


    Then, she stood up, and leave after saying her thanks to Jacob. I was so dumbfounded when Amber walked away as if she didn¡¯t see me. When I nced at Jacob, he chuckled.


    I was embarrassed when Amber rejected my help in front of Jacob. I was so ashamed of Jacob.


    ¡°Follow her, dude. She¡¯s angry at you,¡± Jacob said.

 CHAPTER 21

    =-Amber¡¯s POV=-


    When Dale pushed me into the water, I thought he just made a mistake. He probably saw me struggling to get out of the pool but he dared to walk away without helping me.


    Fortunately, Alpha Jacob came to my rescue before drowning in the pool, but when Alpha Jacob tried to give me a mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, Dale came and insisted he should do it.


    Of course, I didn¡¯t need one, but I was enjoying the attention that Alpha Jacob has given me because it made Dale so jealous.


    I have so engrossed in my thoughts that the constant knocking outside my room startled me. It was probably Dale so I was hesitant to open the door but he wouldn¡¯t stop knocking. Therefore, I was forced to stand up and strolled toward the door.


    ¡°What do you want, Dale? Are you disappointed that I didn¡¯t die earlier?¡± I immediately asked him as soon I saw his face outside the room.


    Actually, I expected him to follow me immediately but he didn¡¯t. Instead, he waited for several hours before having the courage to talk to me. The incident happened around lunch, and it was already past dinner time.


    ¡°Hi, did I disturb you?¡± he asked.


    ¡°What do you want, Dale?¡±


    ¡°I just came to say that you look so beautiful,¡± he said, and then heughed.


    I noticed that Dale¡¯s grunting was constant and it was very different from his usual voice.


    ¡°Are you drunk? Are you wasted? Where¡¯s Alpha Jacob?¡± I asked.


    ¡°No, no, no, I am not drunk. Jacob and I just had some shots, but we are not drunk. Why did you ask about him? Are you worried about, Jacob?¡±


    ¡°Go to sleep if you are inebriated, Dale,¡± I suggested because that¡¯s the best thing he should do after being drunk. ¡°Wait, what are you doing?¡± I shouted at him when he entered my room without my permission.


    ¡°I am just going to take a nap, wake me upter, okay?¡± he instructed.


    ¡°I¡¯m just going to sleep for a while,¡± Dale said beforeying down on the bed where I was supposed to sleep.


    ¡°Get up, Dale! This is not your bedroom! Where should I sleep now? Come on and I will help you go upstairs,¡± I told him, and then I tried to get him out of the bed but it didn¡¯t work.


    ¡°I need a massage, Amber,¡± he said. ¡°Do it now so that I can sleep,¡± he added.


    ¡°No, you need to get out of here and return to your room, Dale,¡± I told him.


    ¡°I just need a massage, Amber. It¡¯s not even sex that I want from you,¡± he rified.


    ¡°You are drunk, Dale. Come on, go back to your room now,¡± I kept on telling him but he was so stubborn to move.


    ¡°Why? Are you scared that I might force myself on you, Amber? You know it will not happen, right? I have already told you that I don¡¯t sleep with whores,¡± he stated.


    ¡°And yet, you slept with me,¡± I reminded him.


    ¡°No, I was forced into doing it with you,¡± he answered but when he was about to speak some more, I pped him really hard to wake up his senses.


    Dale was surprised when my handnded suddenlynded on his face. Who wouldn¡¯t be shocked after being pped twice?


    ¡°Why did you p me, Amber?¡±


    ¡°Because you deserved it,¡± I replied. ¡°I can¡¯t change who I am, Dale. I can¡¯t even change my past. So many things have already happened so if you kept on calling me a whore, I should be one and work at a bar,¡± I said so that he would understand that whatever happened in the past couldn¡¯t be changed anymore. The damage has been done!


    ¡°So how many men have you slept with after leaving this ce, Amber? Tell me!¡±


    ¡°Why should I tell you? You already called me a whore, Dale. You already used me of sleeping with several men when I left this ce, so why bother to ask me about it now?¡±


    I just wanted to tell him that he shouldn¡¯t dwell on the past and just focus on the present as well as the future, but then, he suddenly grabbed my hand and red at me.


    ¡°Did you enjoy it? Did you enjoy sleeping with various men?¡±


    When he asked me those horrible questions, while at the same time, using me of being an easy woman, I really wanted to kill him. Then, I let out a deep breath before attacking him, but he was stronger than me.


    ¡°Let go of me!¡± I screamed when he held my hand so tight.


    ¡°Are they good in bed? Better than me?¡± he asked in a monotone as if he was defeated.


    At that moment, I couldn¡¯t decipher his expression. I struggled to get away from his tight embrace but when he suddenly covered my mouth, I was stunned and didn¡¯t know what to do.


    I tried to pull away from him but he only deepened the kiss. He explored my mouth and when he sucked my tongue, I expressed a moan. Well, I couldn¡¯t help it!


    I closed my eyes to savor the kiss but all of a sudden, Dale unbuttoned my blouse and groped my chest mercilessly.


    ¡°Perfect!¡±


    He eximed as he touched one of my breasts, then he squeezed them one by one. When he wasn¡¯t satisfied with caressing them, he immediately removed my clothes, and my full breasts were exposed to his eyes.


    ¡°Dale,¡± I moaned for his name, especially when his mouth covered one of my breasts without warning.


    He groped, caressed, and sucked on my breasts as if he was so hungry. When his tongue started licking my nipples, I went totally crazy. I moaned softly because of what he did to me, but when I heard him moaning as well, I lost control.


    ¡°Dale¡­,¡± I murmured his name when I felt one of his hands trying to get inside my underwear. Without asking permission, he started to caress the flesh between my thighs and I couldn¡¯t stop him.


    Or should I say that I didn¡¯t want him to stop?


    He kept on doing it until my knees buckled up, so when he pushed my body into bed, I was too weak to get up.


    Then, he positioned himself on top of me, and without warning, he prated my body. He thrust so deep into me that all I could do was bite my bottom lip while anticipating his next move.


    He buried himself into me, and then he pulled it out. Then, he went too deep¡­again!


    I gasped for air when the sensation was too much to handle.


    Over and over again, he imed my body and marked it to be his. When I looked into his eyes, I caught him looking at me, too. Our eye connection was so powerful but then, I couldn¡¯t keep on looking at him while he moved faster on top of me.


    ¡°Don¡¯t look away, Amber. Look into my eyes,¡± hemanded.


    ¡°Dale¡­,¡± I called for his name again because I couldn¡¯t describe how I felt at the moment. ¡°Dale¡­,¡± I said it again while holding onto his arms.


    ¡°Say it, darling, say it. Tell me how you feel,¡± he coerced me.


    ¡°It feels so good, Dale. I love it, oh God, it really feels so nice when you do that,¡± I told him.


    ¡°Like this?¡± he asked as he went in too deep, and then he started moving faster.


    His movements were unpredictable but they seemed to follow a certain rhythm, something that made me so wild in wanting all of him. When he continued to move faster, I couldn¡¯t help but scream in pleasure.


    Then my hands went to his hair and held it for support. I also arched my back to meet his movements, and just like me, Dale was also moaning, and groaning at the same time.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    His moans and grunts were music to my ears. As soon as I felt that we were almost reaching our orgasm, I bit the skin on his neck and rolled my eyes heavenward when I could no longer bear the sensation.

 CHAPTER 22

    =-Dale¡¯s POV=-


    The next day, I woke up with a headache. I immediately called Amber but she didn¡¯t seem to hear me, so I went downstairs even though my head felt like it was going to split open from the pain.


    When I got to the kitchen, I didn¡¯t see her, and it looked like she didn¡¯t cook anything. When I looked up at the wall clock to check the time, I frowned because it was alreadyte. It¡¯s almost eight in the morning but she hasn¡¯t shown up in the kitchen yet.


    ¡°Amber!¡± I shouted for her name as soon as I reached the maid¡¯s quarter. ¡°Amber, where are you?¡± I screamed again then I definitely heard a soft rustling inside her bedroom as if she has just woken up.


    Then, she opened the door.


    ¡°What took you so long to open the damn door, Amber? Do you know what is it now? It¡¯ster and yet, you haven¡¯t cooked anything! We have a guest, remember?¡±


    I was so enraged when I discovered that she woke upte that seeing her ubed startled me.


    ¡°How dare you show your unkempt face to me?¡±


    I scolded her about her ubed hair as well as her unwashed face. Then, I realized that I wasn¡¯t able to take a shower too.


    ¡°Are you asking if I need something? What time is it now Amber? You haven¡¯t cooked breakfast yet! Are you going to starve Jacob and me?¡± I shouted at her again.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Dale, but I¡¯m not feeling well today,¡± she responded.


    ¡°What did you say? So, are you going to tell me that you woke up with a high fever and you don¡¯t know why you suddenly got sick?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the truth, Dale. I really woke up with a high fever, and I don¡¯t know why I got sick all of a sudden,¡± she exined.


    ¡°And then? What do you want to happen? Should I be the one to cook?¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t say anything like that Dale,¡± she replied.


    ¡°Then, what are you waiting for? Go and start cooking now! Do you have an idea that I have been hungry since I woke up?¡± I shouted at her again but then I noticed that she was about to cry.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    Did I say something so bad to her? She looked as if she was deeply hurt by my words, but she had no reason to do that. I just told him to do her job, and cooking was part of her job description.


    Why was she making a big deal out of it?


    ¡°I¡¯m going to cook now,¡± she said and hurriedly returned to her small room to fix herself.


    I didn¡¯t wait for the woman toe out of her bedroom. I went straight to the kitchen and list down the food I wanted to have for breakfast. When five minutes have passed and she didn¡¯te yet, I decided to leave.


    However, I met her in the corridor, and she really looked as if she was sick. Then, I noticed that she kept on pulling his hair.


    ¡°What are you doing, Amber?¡± I asked her.


    ¡°I told you I got a headache, Dale. Herlie taught me how to make myself feel better whenever I have a headache,¡± she answered.


    ¡°And pulling your hair like that can help?¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± she answered.


    ¡°And you believed her?¡±


    ¡°Of course. It always makes me feel better,¡± she said.


    ¡°Is that so? Then why are you still standing there? If you are feeling better now, then move your ass and start cooking! Do I need to say more?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Dale,¡± she said and then she entered the kitchen.


    I nned to check on Jacob but then I heard her take several deep breaths. She sighed heavily on her way to the kitchen, so I changed my mind. I followed her and asked her to prepare a cup of coffee for Jacob.


    Jacob was probably awake and I knew that he would require a cup as soon as he would get up.


    ¡°Just a cup for Alpha Jacob?¡± she asked.


    ¡°Use yourmon sense, Amber!¡± I snapped at her stupid question.


    ¡°Alright. Two cups of brewed coffeeing up, Master!¡±


    ¡°Make it fast. I will take it to his room,¡± I told her and then she eximed her surprise at my statement. ¡°Why are you surprised, Amber? Do you want to take the coffee by yourself? Are you that excited to see your savior again?¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t say anything like that Dale. I was just surprised that you would take it there,¡± she answered.


    ¡°Okay. The coffee?¡±


    ¡°Oh, hold on,¡± she answered and then she hurried to brew our coffee.


    After she ced the two cups of coffee in a serving tray, she immediately handed them to me. I epted the tray without question but before leaving the kitchen, I turned around to see her face one more time. Unfortunately, she was already busy cooking.


    As an orphan, I was raised by missionaries, but a childless couple adopted me. It was fun at first but it turned out that they were so busy raising a kid like me. Most of the time, I was left alone at home. Although there were several nannies at home to watch over me, I craved their attention.


    They couldn¡¯t give it to me. They prioritized their position in the court, and they were so busy strengthening their authority inside the pack. Then, I learned that they only needed me to be their sessor.


    The man who adopted me was the Beta of Alpha Marcus. I was so young back then, but the moment I came face to face with Alpha Marcus, I recognized him. I couldn¡¯t be mistaken! I easily recognized the man who let my mother suffer before she abandoned me, and then she got killed, making me an orphan at the age of eight.


    At a very young age, I started to develop an interest in Alpha Marcus, and then I befriended his heir, Jacob Summers. Since then, Jacob and I have always been inseparable. Some imed that a woman would probably ruin our friendship, but it wasn¡¯t the case.


    While Jacob was so inclined in sleeping with a woman, I made sure to stay celibate. I distanced myself from women who had the potential of developing an interest in Jacob.


    I forced myself to not look at those beautiful girls in the pack, and leave Jacob to get their attention. Everything was great until I saved a teenager wandering alone in the forest. She was gathering firewood, but she met a group of young rogue werewolves.


    If I wasn¡¯t there on time, that girl would be raped, or even beaten to death! At that moment, I decided to be her hero, and I regretted it. Since then, I couldn¡¯t forget about her cute face, especially her doll eyes.


    She was so beautiful back then, wearing a cute summer dress in the color yellow. Her long and curly hair was tied up in a fishtail, leaving the skin on her neck exposed.


    That day, I went to the woods to relieve my frustration about my life. I have been doing it from time to time, without my parent¡¯s knowledge. They didn¡¯t even know about the tattoos I got. They didn¡¯t care about me at all. As long as I wouldn¡¯t make a scandal in the pack, or ruin their good reputation, they wouldn¡¯t give a damn about me.


    After saving that beautiful girl, I began to worry that Jacob would have a chance to meet her too, and then the girl would be smitten by Jacob¡¯s handsome look.


    I realized that she could be my weakness, especially when I learned that she was my mate. After that day, I holed up inside my room and didn¡¯t go out, even if Jacob wanted me to go with him in meeting girls at a nearby caf¨¦.


    After a week of wondering about that girl, I used my parents¡¯ connection to know everything about her. I discovered she was an omega, poised to be a woman of Alpha Marcus; whether a whore or a servant.


    The knowledge that she was an omega made me realize that our fate was doomed from the start. It was better to avoid her at all costs, but when Jacob decided to be a rogue and left the pack, I was left alone in the pack.


    I couldn¡¯t even leave the house because my adoptive parents began to impose strict rules at home, in case I would follow Jacob¡¯s path. To prove that I wasn¡¯t an asshole, I showed some interest in my father¡¯s work, and my adoptive mother was so d about it.


    Yearster, Alpha Marcus decided to revive the omega pregnancy program when he couldn¡¯t find a suitable heir. Since I wanted to get close to Alpha Marcus, I volunteered to work with the doctors who were in charge of the program.


    Then, I met her again. This time, she was no longer a little girl, but a young and beautiful woman, who just became one of the women that belonged to the Alpha.


    I felt pity for the woman who had no choice about the matter. There were times when I wanted to take her away from the pack, away from her sad fate, but I couldn¡¯t do that at the moment. I needed to avenge the wrongful death of my mother, and until it would be realized, I wouldn¡¯t dare to open my heart to her.


    ¡°Hey, Dale! What¡¯s wrong with you? Dale!¡±


    I was startled when Jacob screamed so close to my ear. I was engrossed in my thoughts that I didn¡¯t realize he was already awake, and out of his bedroom.


    ¡°No hangover? I brought you a cup,¡± I told him.


    ¡°Great! Where¡¯s Amber by the way? Is she alright? I am worried that she might be sick after falling into the swimming pool,¡± Jacob said worriedly but the moment he realized the wordsing out of his mouth, he immediately stop.


    ¡°She¡¯s not the woman you used to love very much, Jacob. Although they have the same name, that¡¯s the only simrity they have,¡± I exined, and Jacob immediately clenched his jaw.

 CHAPTER 23

    =-Jacob¡¯s POV=-


    When Dale reminded me that her maid only has a simr name to a woman I used to know, I nodded my head in agreement because he was telling the truth.


    I wasn¡¯t blind to know that Dale¡¯s maid was not the woman I used to love so much. Or should I say that she was the first woman who made me question my self-worth, and that woman was the main reason why I left the pack, and became a rogue?


    Once upon a time, I fall in love with a woman, whose status was below mine. Still, I chose to ignore our differences and went out with her, without knowing that she only did it for fun.


    Yes, I was so na?ve to fall for a seasoned woman, whose dream was to collect several powerful men toplete her list. I was so angry when I discovered the truth, but I wasn¡¯t so na?ve to admit I was hurting.


    So, when my father decided to marry me off, I pretended it was okay, but the moment I realized the impact of an arranged wedding, I decided to leave the pack.


    ***few years ago***


    I cursed heavily as soon as I got out of my father¡¯s study. For the nth time, he ordered me to take a wife, otherwise, my marriage to an Alpha¡¯s daughter would push through.


    A frown was probably visible on my face because the servants I encountered in the hallway tried to avoid me. It was beneficial for them to avoid me when I had a hard time controlling my temper.


    I sauntered toward the secret door leading to the basement of my beta¡¯s house. He kept my women there, and tonight, I decided to take one of them to satisfy my lust.


    The preparation for a possible war has kept me busy for several days, and during those busy days, I had no time to fucking a woman. I needed to release the stress building inside my body.


    I just got in when I noticed that the door leading to Dale¡¯s residence was slightly ajar. I should focus on my needs but my curiosity got the better of me. Slowly, I walked toward the slightly ajar door, and my mouth gaped open when I heard Dale arguing with a woman.


    Then, I narrowed my eyes while trying to recall if Dale has previously mentioned getting a wife or having a girlfriend.


    Whoever the woman was, I admired her guts to argue with my beta. As far as I know, Dale has the shortest temper and he would be unstoppable once he wouldn¡¯t unable to control it.


    I smirked on my way back to the women¡¯s quarters. Out of several women, I had my favorite. Her name was Ruby and she was so great in bed. I didn¡¯t have to tell her what to do. She would already know how to please me, and that¡¯s why I liked her.


    As I walked toward her bedroom, excitement rushed through me. Finally, I would be able to release the build-up inside me. Finally, an experienced and seductive woman would please me!


    I knocked on her door three times and the eager woman immediately opened it. A beautiful smile was on her lips upon seeing me, and I returned her smile


    ¡°Hi,¡± I greeted her, and she immediately hugged me. ¡°Did you miss me?¡±


    ¡°So much,¡± she answered.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    ¡°Great,¡± I whispered, and at the same time, I licked the skin on her neck. She immediately moaned in delight.


    Without further ado, I pulled the straps of her night dress and let it fall to the floor. Her skin felt like silk upon my touch, and then she took the initiative to undress me.


    Her hands fumbled as she unzipped my pants, and her mouth gaped open when she discovered that were already hard. When she looked at me, I could see the desire in her eyes. I knew what she was up to when she suddenly knelt in front of me, and I didn¡¯t stop her.


    I closed my eyes as soon as I felt her mouth around me. It was hot and stimting. When she licked my flesh upside down, my legs stiffened. ¡°It feels so good,¡± my voice quivered a bit when I told her how it felt.


    She didn¡¯t respond but the movement of her head told me that she heard the words I said. Slowly, my hands reached out to hold her hair, and she became more aggressive.


    I groaned like a wounded animal when I had a hard time containing the sensationing from her mouth. Her soft moans added fuel to my lust, and without warning, I stopped her from continuing and helped her to stand up. Then, I carried her luscious body into the bed.


    ¡°Fuck me,¡± I ordered her and she wasted no more time and crawled on top of me. Her well-endowed breasts dangled in front of my eyes, and they tempted me to fondle them one by one.


    As she slowly lowered her body to sheath my hardness, I groaned in anticipation. Regardless of how many times she surrendered herself to me, she remained tight.


    I loved how she twirled her lower body and wiggled it around my manhood, but I wanted more from her. Slowly, I adjusted our position and dragged her with me as I leaned into the headboard.


    The position made it easier for me to suck her breasts, and the pration was deeperpared to the previous one.


    Ruby¡¯s eyes rolled as my mouth ravished her softness, and at the same time, my manhood prated the deepest part of her body.


    She was good, and not boring in bed. She was also a passionate woman who knew how to seduce me while already doing it. Her eyes spoke volumes as she moved her body, and when I stared into her eyes, Ipletely lost it.


    I groaned loudly as I released my semen inside her body. Ruby thrust faster than usual and I could tell she was about toe as well. We both groaned as we just let our bodies do the talking, and we panted for our breaths when we stopped.


    Normally, I would do the second round after releasing the first, but then I felt I couldn¡¯t make it hard again. I panicked at the thought of having a problem with my male reproductive organ and detached myself from her before she would notice.


    ¡°Why?¡± She asked because the woman was not used for a single round only.


    ¡°I still have an appointment with my beta,¡± I lied and she nodded in understanding.


    After getting out of bed, I proceeded to the bathroom to wash, and then I hurried up to leave. Since I already mentioned meeting Dale, I decided to proceed to his residence for a drink.


    There were no more arguments between Dale and the woman. The house was silent, and I could only hear the sounds of my footsteps. I was about to go back to where I came from when I heard a woman crying. The pain in those sobs was familiar to me and it seemed like it was my mother several years ago when her Father betrayed her multiple times.


    I couldn¡¯t take a further step as I listened to her. Then, the crying stopped. For a moment, there was only silence, but suddenly, I could hear her voice again. This time, she was no longer in pain.


    She was humming a song¡­ a song that sounded so familiar to my ears. I was positive that I already heard it before but I just couldn¡¯t pinpoint when and where did I hear it.


    ¡°Jacob?¡±


    When I heard my name, I knew it was Dale who called, but I wondered why I wasn¡¯t able to feel his presence before he called my name. I believed that something was really wrong with me, and Dale frowned upon seeing my face.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Jacob?¡± he asked.


    I shook my head in response because I had no idea what was happening to me either.


    ¡°How long were you standing there?¡±


    ¡°I just got here,¡± Dale replied.


    ¡°Did you hear a woman crying?¡±


    ¡°Crying, no, but I heard her sing. Just don¡¯t mind her, Jacob. Something is wrong with my cook but she is good at her job.¡±


    ¡°A cook?¡±


    ¡°I thought you got yourself a woman, bro!¡±


    Dale just grinned and said, ¡°Soon. Are you here for a drink?¡±


    I was supposed to nod my head but my mouth seemed to have its own mind. ¡°No, I am here for the woman.¡±

 CHAPTER 24

    =-Dale¡¯s POV=-


    I sighed while following Jacob into the balcony. Initially, I thought he would stay there, but he didn¡¯t. Instead, he walked toward the vacant room, where Bethany used to sleep.


    As I have mentioned before, Jacob dealt with several women, and after Amber, there was Bethany. I could say that what he felt for Bethany was genuine, not just about lust, but pure love. Several years have passed but Jacob couldn¡¯t move on from Bethany.


    I watched him being emotional at the doorway before he went inside. Sometimes, I wondered if Jacob really wanted to see me as a friend, or if he just wanted to visit the room where Bethany used to stay when the woman worked for me.


    ¡°Do you still miss her?¡± I asked.


    ¡°I do,¡± he replied.


    ¡°Then, why don¡¯t you do something about it, Jacob? You probably know where to find her and your daughter,¡± I told him.


    ¡°I wish I am free to do that without endangering her life, Dale. You know my situation right now, and it¡¯s not good for me or Bethany,¡± he replied.


    ¡°So, what is your n now? Perhaps, should we have coffee first before talking about your sad love life?¡±


    ¡°Of course. Anyway, about your n to marry off Amber McBride to one of my brothers, did Amber agree to it? I don¡¯t know what¡¯s wrong with you Dale, but you seem to worry so much about the omega,¡± he stated.


    ¡°I told her before, and she tried to run away,¡± I admitted the truth.


    ¡°She ran away? But why? The marriage will be good for her, especially with her current status,¡± Jacob exined.


    ¡°I also told her about the benefits of marrying one of your brothers, Jacob,¡± I said.


    ¡°Good. Tell her to get ready. We are leaving for nd this week. They have already prepared everything in the ntation and all she had to do was to show up there and say ¡®I do¡¯ to my brother,¡± Jacob added.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Jacob. She¡¯s going to marry your brother whether she likes it or not. She¡¯s not that stupid to waste this opportunity of improving her living situation.¡±


    ¡°And what about, Dale? Don¡¯t you want to stop the wedding?¡±


    ¡°I have no reason to do that, Jacob,¡± I replied.


    ¡°Oh really? You can fool anyone else, Dale, but not me. You may be able to fool Amber into believing you despise her presence, but I know you are doing this because you want to keep her by yourself,¡± Jacob stated a fact.


    ¡°No, that¡¯s not true. She¡¯s a woman who has slept with your father, Jacob. It¡¯s not good to think of her as my woman, and she will never be one,¡± I proimed.


    ¡°Right. Anyway, nd is too far from here, so my brother wouldn¡¯t know every detail about her. He would only know that Amber was once a woman in the pce who worked for my father, but that¡¯s all. Besides, he was so stupid to know,¡± Jacob said.


    I sighed. Actually, I regretted giving my consent to the marriage, but it was the only nice thing I could give her. I didn¡¯t want her to remain a servant all throughout her life.


    Deep inside, I wished her to be happy, and that marrying Jacob¡¯s stupid brother would be better than being my servant forever.


    At the balcony, where Jacob and I had coffee, we talked about several things concerning the pack, as well as our lives.


    ¡°How¡¯s Lucy by the way?¡±


    ¡°Probably heartbroken,¡± Jacob replied.


    ¡°Oh God, Jacob! What did you do? If you don¡¯t want her anymore, just send her back to Alpha Travis,¡± I suggested because I thought it was unfair that he should continue hurting the innocent woman.


    ¡°You know I can¡¯t do that, Dale. I need her to strengthen my authority in the pack. You know how those old bastards are, they love to make fun of me, trying to usurp the throne from me!¡±


    ¡°But you didn¡¯t want it in the first ce, Jacob! You even leave the pack and became a rogue!¡±


    ¡°Wrong. I left the pack because my father was a bastard, that¡¯s all. It¡¯s true that I don¡¯t want the title of being the Alpha, but I couldn¡¯t let those bastards ruin my people. I wouldn¡¯t permit it!¡±


    ¡°Wow, dude! Being the Mayor of ybourne has really helped you be a better person,¡± I teased him, and then he pped my shoulder. ¡°So, as I was saying, what is your n for Lucy? Now that Amber is getting married, you can¡¯t use her name to provoke your wife anymore,¡± I reminded him.


    ¡°She believed the reports that I made Amber pregnant,¡± he said.


    ¡°And that stupid intel report will probably ruin Amber¡¯s life in nd,¡± I warned Jacob. ¡°Although your brother was said to be na?ve and stupid, who knows if the news about Amber¡¯s pregnancy would reach him?¡±


    Jacob just shrugged his shoulders instead of responding to my inquiry.


    ¡°Still, he wouldn¡¯t have a choice. As the Alpha, he had no choice but to follow mymand, and Imanded him to get married to Amber McBride. Whether he likes it or not, he had no choice, Dale.¡±


    ¡°I hope that everything will be alright soon,¡± I said because I suspected that Jacob just made a decision that would probablyplicate everything.


    ¡°Yeah. Anyway, I am starving,¡± he said.


    ¡°Then, let¡¯s go to the breakfast room. Amber has been preparing our breakfast. It¡¯s probably ready by now,¡± I told him and he smiled because he loved Amber¡¯s cooking sincest night.


    Or it was just one of his tactics to seduce Amber?


    Whatever his reasons were, I wouldn¡¯t allow her to seduce Amber. It was enough that one of his brothers would marry my mate. It was enough that Amber would be a sacrificialmb once again.From N?velDrama.Org.


    Jacob and I were descending the stairs when I heard my phone ring. I didn¡¯t expect anyone to call me, except for one person; Bethany. Jacob had no idea that I was in contact with Bethany, and over the years, Bethany and I have be close friends.


    ¡°It seems urgent, Dale,¡± Jacob said.


    ¡°Yes, I think so too. I¡¯ll take this call first. Please go ahead,¡± I told him and then I immediately answered Bethany¡¯s call. ¡°Hey, what¡¯s up?¡±


    ¡°Where are you, Dale?¡±


    ¡°I am at home. Why? Do you need anything?¡± I inquired.


    ¡°My daughter is sick,¡± she said on the other line.


    ¡°W-what? Then, how is she doing? Did you take her to the hospital?¡± I questioned the woman because I was worried for the little girl.


    ¡°Not yet,¡± she replied.


    ¡°Why not? Oh God, please wait for me. I will be there in thirty minutes,¡± I assured her before disconnecting the call, then I went to the breakfast room.


    Jacob raised the tip of his eyebrows upon seeing me, but it was Amber¡¯s expression that caught me off-guard.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Dale?¡± Jacob asked.


    ¡°Something came up, Jacob. Do you mind if I can¡¯t join you for breakfast? I will be back as soon as possible,¡± I informed Jacob that I had to attend to an important matter.


    ¡°Sure. Go ahead,¡± he said. ¡°I am sure that I won¡¯t be bored since Amber is here to keep mepany,¡± he added,but he immediately closed his mouth the moment he saw the anger in my eyes.

 CHAPTER 25

    =-Dale¡¯s POV=-


    On my way to Bradfordshire, I couldn¡¯t stop thinking about the little girl. When I decided to keep Bethany and her child safe, I couldn¡¯t help being drawn to the girl¡¯s charms.


    She was bubbly, and always made meugh. Bethany¡¯s daughter has the ability to make me forget about my problems, especially with Amber, and her impending marriage to Jacob¡¯s brother.


    I stepped on the gas so that I would get there on time.


    As promised, I reached my property in Bradfordshire in less than thirty minutes. Keeping them in one of my properties was risky. Once Jacob would learn the truth that I helped Bethany in hiding, he wouldn¡¯t be happy, or worse, he may decide to kill me.


    Still, it was worth the risk. I couldn¡¯t exin it but Bethany and I have a unique connection. Since that day when I saw her struggling in her dpidated truck, I felt pity for the woman.


    Since Bethany has expected my arrival, she kept the gate open so it was easier for me. As soon as I parked my car in front of the house, I sprinted toward the main door and pushed it open.


    ¡°Surprise!¡±


    I stood frozen at the doorway to see the great room decorated with gold and ck balloons. There was also a banner with my face and a greeting. Then, I frowned. Was it today?¡±


    ¡°Happy birthday, Dale!¡± Bethany greeted me.


    ¡°I thought your daughter is sick!¡± I eximed in surprise but before I could scold Bethany for lying to me, her little girl arrived in the great room with a round cake.


    ¡°Happy birthday to you¡­. happy birthday to you¡­happy birthday¡­happy birthday¡­ happy birthday to you!¡±


    I couldn¡¯t help but smile at the little creature who tried her best to sing a birthday song to me. Actually, it has been a long time since Ist celebrated my birthday. If I wasn¡¯t mistaken, my adoptive parents were still alive at that time.


    ¡°Bethany, we need to talkter,¡± I told her.


    ¡°I know, Dale. I¡¯m sorry if I lied but it was her idea,¡± Bethany replied.


    ¡°Really, pumpkin? It was your idea to tell me that you¡¯re sick?¡± I asked and the little girl nodded happily.


    ¡°Happy birthday, Uncle Dale!¡±


    ¡°Thank you, pumpkin,¡± I said.


    ¡°What is your wish, Uncle?¡±


    Oh God, I really couldn¡¯t help but smile at Bethany¡¯s daughter. Her dimples made her more adorable, and I wanted to pinch her chubby weeks.


    ¡°How about you, pumpkin? What is your wish?¡± I asked because we have the same birthday.


    ¡°I wish to see my Daddy, but Mommy won¡¯t let me see him, Uncle. Is he dead?¡±


    Both Bethany and I gasped for breath as soon as we heard the little girl questioning Jacob. I looked at Bethany and waited for her instructions but the woman just nodded her head as if she had no idea how to respond to her daughter¡¯s inquiry.


    ¡°Should I tell you about my wish?¡± I immediately changed the topic when the situation seemed to be ufortable for Bethany.


    ¡°Yes! What is it, Uncle?¡±


    ¡°I wish that you will be as beautiful as your Mommy,¡± I said, and she smiled happily. She even wrinkled her cute, little nose before ncing at her mother.


    As I watched them, I temporarily forgot about Jacob and Amber who were at home. My attention was solely focused on the little girl who seemed to be having fun because of our birthday.


    Just likest year, the celebration was intimate, and Bethany didn¡¯t invite anyone from her workce. It¡¯s just me, Bethany, and the nanny.


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe you went all the trouble to decorate this ce, Bethany!¡± I eximed. ¡°But, anyway, I thought you have forgotten about it.¡±


    ¡°I am not like you, Dale. You don¡¯t care about celebrating your birthdays, but you know what, you really have to. I mean, you have a lot of things that are worth celebrating,¡± she said.


    ¡°Next year,¡± I replied.


    ¡°I am sure you didn¡¯t eat your breakfast yet. Come on, I prepared your favorites today since it¡¯s your birthday,¡± Bethany said.


    While Bethany was being genuinely nice to me, I felt a little guilty about her kindness. Initially, my reason for helping her was because of my n to use her in the future. Just like Amber McBride, I nned to use her in the future.


    ¡°Wow, that¡¯s nice of you, Bethany!¡±


    ¡°I know, right? Soe on!¡±


    On the way to the kitchen, Bethany held her daughter¡¯s hand and for me, they were cute to look at. If only Jacob could see what I was seeing at the moment, my friend would be emotional.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°He¡¯s been looking for you everywhere,¡± I casually dropped a little information, but it was enough for Bethany to stop walking.


    ¡°You can always tell him that the woman he¡¯s been looking for has already died,¡± she answered.


    ¡°He had no choice about the marriage,¡± I tried to exin Jacob¡¯s situation because it was the truth.


    ¡°Says who? He was a free man when I met him, Dale. He waswless and reckless, so I don¡¯t really believe you. Anyway, let¡¯s not discuss the bastard,¡± she said while clenching her jaw.


    ¡°You heard your daughter earlier, Bethany. She wants to see him.¡±


    ¡°Over my dead body, Dale! I would never allow it! If I have to go back to my father to seek help or even protection, I would do that just to keep him away from us!¡±


    ¡°Bethany, too much time has already passed. Is your wound still not healing?¡± I asked while referring to her broken heart.


    ¡°It¡¯s already healed, a long time ago, actually. However, just because it¡¯s healed, means that I want to see him again. I already dealt with him in the past, so it will stay that way.¡±


    ¡°Bethany, will you please be reasonable? For the sake of your daughter?¡±


    ¡°My daughter will understand my reasons for being like this, Dale. Look, if you are tired of helping me, it¡¯s alright. I have other options,¡± she said. ¡°You can always tell me to leave this ce anytime,¡± she added.


    ¡°Stay, and don¡¯t even think about leaving this ce, Bethany. You will be safe here,¡± I cautioned her from doing anything stupid that may harm her daughter.

 CHAPTER 26

    =-Amber¡¯s POV=-


    Once again, it was just me and Dale in the house. Jacob already went home because something came up with his Luna. I heard from Dale¡¯s phone conversation one time that Luna hasmitted suicide at Jacob¡¯s workce in ybourne.


    I am sure that the issue would make a great scandal but Dale has prohibited me to watch the news or even checked my phely. He even confiscated it from me.


    Then, my mood was totally ruined when Dale gave me a piece of paper pertaining to my wedding to Jacob¡¯s brother. As my master, he has the right to refuse it, but I learned, he was the one who insisted on the wedding. Meaning to say, he really didn¡¯t want to have me in his house.


    For the nth time, I read the written agreement that he forced me to sign earlier. It was stipted in the agreement that even if I would be married to Jacob¡¯s brother, Dale would have every right to see me whenever he wanted to.


    I believed the terms were ridiculous but it was Dale who drafted the agreement. Everything was favorable to him. After everything I have been through, I didn¡¯t want to be married. Dealing with Alpha Marcus or even Dale was enough. I had enough of the men¡¯s domineering attitude. They liked to control women as if women came with remote control!


    Since Alpha Jacob was gone, Dale constantly went out and he would be back sote. Then, he would always be on the phone, smiling at the person he was talking to on the other line, and watching him like that was disheartening on my part.


    I saw the signs that he was in love¡­with someone else!


    In fact, he rarely paid attention to me. He wouldn¡¯t even bother to check on me or raise his voice whenever I did something wrong. He just didn¡¯t care and it felt like I was living in hell!


    Should I just be d about the wedding?


    Anyway, there¡¯s no point in staying with him. He was so heartless and insensitive about my feelings. How could he allow the marriage while knowing that I am pregnant with his child?


    He said that Jacob¡¯s brother was na?ve and kind, but I didn¡¯t buy that. I believed that all men were created equal. They loved to dominate the women, and I knew what was in store for me after the wedding.


    A deep sigh escaped from my mouth while I made his dinner. While cooking, I clearly remembered how he looked at me earlier. It was a look from someone who had no interest in me.


    I was done cooking and he wasn¡¯t home yet. Then, I chastised myself for always waiting for him. He already made it obvious to me that he wasn¡¯t interested, and yet, I couldn¡¯t stop myself from thinking so much about him.


    So, I had my dinner alone¡­ as usual. Then after cleaning the mess in the kitchen, I returned to my room and went to bed early. My legs were really tired from doing all the house works.


    I was so sleepy that I didn¡¯t bother to have a quick shower before going to bed, butter on, someone came and disturbed me from sleeping soundly. His hands were warm as he groped my breasts under my clothes. I moaned at the sensation, but then I forced myself to get up.


    It was too dark in the room! I couldn¡¯t see anything at the moment!From N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°W-who are you?¡± I asked because the way he touched my skin was different from Dale¡¯s, but he had a different n instead of responding to my inquiry. He pushed me!


    I grimaced in pain, and I tried to scream but he immediately covered my mouth. I struggle to get away from him until he punched me in the stomach. It was so painful, and then a sickening pain made me crouch on the floor.


    ¡°Amber! What¡¯s wrong with you?¡±


    When I heard his voice, I immediately looked up, and then I blinked my eyes several times as soon as I recognized him. Then, I discovered I was just dreaming. A sigh of relief escaped from my lips because I really thought that something bad has happened to my baby.


    ¡°Dale! When did youe?¡± I inquired. ¡°How long have you been standing there?¡±


    ¡°So, who was the man in your dreams, Amber? I heard you moan so hard as if he did something good to your body,¡± he guessed.


    I wanted to tell him that it was him in my dream but he got furious without a valid reason. Then, he suddenly grabbed my arm, and then he pushed me back into the bed.


    At that moment, I thought he would force himself into me, but he didn¡¯t. He just kept on standing in front of me, ring at me, and he seemed so bothered.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know what you are talking about, Dale, but I could be dreaming about my future husband. After all, I have been thinking about the wedding since morning,¡± I told him.


    ¡°You seemed to be happy about the wedding, Amber!¡±


    ¡°What else should I feel? You convinced me that it¡¯s the best for me! You said I should be happy to be a mistress of my own home, and not just your servant. Anyway, I just realized that living with a stranger would probably be better than being here. I just hope that he¡¯s also good in bed,¡± I informed Dale but then he suddenly clenched his fist as if he wanted to smack me.


    ¡°Shut up!¡± he screamed at me. ¡°You¡¯re mine, remember that! Only mine, Amber!¡±


    ¡°Yes, for now. I belong to you as a servant but once I get married to Jacob¡¯s brother, I would be free from you,¡± I provoked him even more.


    For a moment, he was so silent and just stared at me. I didn¡¯t back down though. I remained to stare at him, and he seemed to dislike it.


    ¡°I¡¯m hungry. Kindly set the table now,¡± he ordered.


    I frowned because I was confused why his tone suddenly changed. Then, he strolled toward the door and left me alone. Earlier, when he pushed me into the bed, I really thought he would force himself but he didn¡¯t. Did he really be a different person? Dale wasn¡¯t like that!


    As ordered, I got up and fixed my messy hair before heading to the dining room where he would be possibly waiting. I prepared his favorite grilled fish.


    As a dutiful servant, I did everything he asked of me, except for moving my clothes into his room and sleeping with him every night before the wedding. When he came, my eyes widened to see him topless. It wasn¡¯t like him to be topless at home. He was always presentable!


    ¡°Why are you naked?¡± I asked in disbelief.


    ¡°I¡¯m not naked, Amber,¡± he replied in a monotone.


    ¡°Not naked? You are topless, Dale!¡±


    ¡°Then, what¡¯s wrong with being topless? It¡¯s just the two of us here, and you already saw every inch of my body. If you want, you can do the same,¡± he suggested something lewd.


    ¡°You looked hideous with all those hard muscles, Dale,¡± I lied, of course.


    ¡°Oh really? Hmmm,¡± he mumbled, and before I could get away, he imprisoned me in his tight embrace. ¡°Feel them, Amber. Feel my hard muscles, pressing on your soft flesh,¡± he whispered into my ear.


    I really tried to push him away but he hugged me too tight, and because he was taller than me, my face was pressed against his muscr chest. My goodness, how could he smell so good?


    ¡°I told you so. You won¡¯t find me hideous, Amber. You love my body, all the time,¡± he mumbled, and I rolled my eyes at him. He was really nuts! ¡°Let¡¯s eat,¡± said the man suddenly. ¡°Are you disappointed that I didn¡¯t bang you on the table?¡±


    ¡°Where?¡± I asked.


    ¡°On the table. You were horny, Amber, and no matter how much you will try to control your lust for me, you couldn¡¯t. You want me. I can see it in your eyes,¡± he continued to tease me.


    ¡°Wrong,¡± I replied.

 CHAPTER 27

    =-Amber¡¯s POV=-


    ¡°I bought your favorite cake earlier. I know you haven¡¯t eaten your favorite cake for a long time now. It¡¯s in the refrigerator if you want it,¡± he said and for a moment I couldn¡¯t stop staring into his eyes.


    ¡°Why are you acting different, Dale?¡± I asked because he became unbelievably kind to me. He wasn¡¯t like that in the past.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you like the cake?¡±


    ¡°Of course, I like it. Thank you,¡± I replied in a low voice.


    ¡°Are you crying?¡±


    ¡°No,¡± I lied. ¡°Besides, there¡¯s no reason for me to cry.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s good then. Anyway, starting tonight, you should sleep in my bedroom. Next week you will be in nd, and in the meantime, you will be busy pleasing your husband in bed.¡±


    ¡°And, what do you suggest?¡±


    ¡°I suggest that you should always be close to me in theing days, Amber.¡±


    While I listened to his words, I just reminded myself that I was dealing with an impossible man who seemed to be so confused. He wanted me, and yet, he set me up with a different man.


    ¡°I hope the time wille when you can forgive me too,¡± I told him while referring to the times I made the dirty proposal. No matter how much I think about it, it was all my fault.


    ¡°I¡¯m not mad at you, Amber, but we¡¯re not the same as before. We¡¯re not friends and remember that,¡± Dale said. ¡°As for what happened to us, that¡¯s normal for two people living together under one roof, isn¡¯t it? I should be grateful because if it didn¡¯t happen back then, my n wouldn¡¯t go as nned. You just helped me to advance the n,¡± he stated a fact.


    ¡°I am also grateful when you saved my life back then, Dale, but thinking about it now, I think I should be mad at you. If I died back then, I wouldn¡¯t be suffering now,¡± I said, and his eyes widened.


    Wait, did he really believe I wouldn¡¯t recognize him after all these years? How could I forget the tattoo on his neck, or the smoldering look in his eyes whenever he¡¯s mad?


    ¡°It¡¯s already in the past, Amber. I needed to do what I had to do that time,¡± he replied.


    ¡°So, you also remember that time, and yet, you acted as if you didn¡¯t remember.¡±


    ¡°Because it isn¡¯t important to me,¡± he replied.


    At that moment, I wished that Dale knew how to stop talking.


    After dinner, he didn¡¯t give me a chance to say no to his demands. He apanied me to my room, and then he helped me pack my clothes. I tried to be stubborn about it but he always got what he wanted.


    ¡°Just think of it as a practice, Amber. Once you are married, you will always sleep with a man,¡± he said.


    ¡°It¡¯s marriage without love, Dale. So, I don¡¯t think it¡¯s going to happen that way.¡±


    However, it wasn¡¯t easy to be in the same room as Dale. It was like a living torture for me. It was hard to breathe the same air as him. Then, I sighed.


    ¡°You should be d that Jacob¡¯s wife killed himself, otherwise, the wedding will be held in three days,¡± he stated a fact.


    Because of what happened to Jacob¡¯s wife, the wedding was moved to ater date, and it was advantageous to me. Still, with Luna¡¯s passing, I bet there would be a lot of changes in the pack.


    ¡°Alpha Jacob was probably heartbroken,¡± I mumbled because I knew how it feels to lose someone important.


    ¡°Wrong. He wanted it to happen,¡± Dale stated.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± I asked in disbelief because I believed it was so heartless for a husband to treat a wife that way.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to know but one thing is sure, Jacob is not heartbroken,¡± he said.


    ¡°I don¡¯t understand why there are men like you, Dale.¡±


    ¡°Like me? What do you mean?¡±


    ¡°Just like Alpha Jacob, you are a heartless bastard, and you are so moody for your own good. Sometimes, you are nice, but most of the time, you are rude to me,¡± Iined.


    ¡°I don¡¯t understand what you are talking about, Amber. I have always been like this, even before meeting you.¡±


    ¡°Maybe. Anyway, I can serve you as my master as long as you want, but please don¡¯t touch me again.¡±


    ¡°You mean, I can no longer fuck you,¡± he stated.


    I just nodded because I didn¡¯t know what to say. The way he pronounced the word ¡®fuck¡¯ caused me to tingle.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    ¡°Hmmmm because that depends on you, but I promise, I won¡¯t force you anymore,¡± Dale promised.


    ¡°That¡¯s good,¡± I replied, and somehow I calmed down a little.


    ¡°Just don¡¯t give in to your emotions, Amber. Admit it because when ites to me you are a weak woman. Your love for me makes you weak.¡±


    I didn¡¯t have an answer to his im because what he said was true. When ites to him, I am weak. I couldn¡¯t even refuse him. However, I had no intention of being weak forever.


    ¡°That¡¯s why I told you that we can¡¯t be in the same room because it¡¯s dangerous,¡± I said to the man.


    ¡°What¡¯s dangerous?¡± He pretended not to know what I was talking about.


    ¡°J-just!¡±


    ¡°Like this?¡± Dale asked as he simply rested his foot on my thigh. Then, he hugged me.


    I tried to get away but he wouldn¡¯t let me.


    ¡°I just want a hug, Amber. Nothing more,¡± he said.


    ¡°Are you sure it¡¯s just a hug? Why is your hand going everywhere?¡±


    I scolded him and removed his hand that was going under my dress, and then I used all of my force to get away from him.


    Heughed.


    Was he trying to mock me?


    Then, when I wanted to talk to him, he was already sleeping!


    I raised an eyebrow but with so much on my mind at the moment, I also fell asleep so easily.


    But then, I felt his hand caressing my breast, his lips touching the skin on my neck, and then he slightly bit my earlobe. It was so much to keep me sleeping! Or was I just pretending to be asleep?


    Because of what he did, I couldn¡¯t stop myself from moaning softly. Because of what he did, my body was tickling, and then I scolded myself for yielding to him.


    I was immediately drowned in the sensation caused by his gentle caress. When Dale pulled my nightgown, and his one was groping one of my breasts, I couldn¡¯tin.


    Little by little, the fire was burning my body, and while the man was fondling my two breasts, I waspletely shocked until I willingly rubbed my ass against his hardness.


    Then, he took off his pajama, as well as his boxer shorts.


    Later on, we were both naked, and the heating from our bodies fueled our lust even more. As soon as I felt his hardness being pressed against my softness, I didn¡¯t object. Little by little, I felt his manhood entering my body, and I gasped for breath as soon as every inch of him was totally inside me.


    When it was finally buried inside me, he lifted one of my legs and ced it on his shoulder. When he started moving while our bodies were connected, I screamed in pleasure. It was so good.


    ¡°Amber¡­,¡± he whispered my name and I could only bite my bottom lip while meeting his every thrust.


    ¡°Dale¡­. It feels so good, Dale,¡± I told him, and then he intensified his movements.


    While our bodies were joined, he didn¡¯t stop touching my breasts, and it felt like I became crazy, screaming for his name, and demanding more.


    ¡°Mmmmm,¡± I moaned as he kept on fucking me. ¡°Bite me, Dale. I want to feel your teeth on my skin. Please¡­ do it. Bite me,¡± I begged because I needed to feel a little bit of pain, otherwise, I might lose my sanitypletely.

 CHAPTER 28

    =-Amber¡¯s POV=-


    It seemed I got lucky every day. Fate was with me in stopping the arranged marriage from happening. Yesterday, I overheard Dale¡¯s conversation with Jacob and they were discussing a woman named Bethany.


    I wondered if Bethany is the current woman that graces the Alpha¡¯s bed, but whoever was Bethany, I should be grateful to her. Because of how much trouble she caused for Alpha Jacob, my wedding to his brother kept on being postponed.


    Once again, I nned to run away from Dale¡¯s mansion whenever he¡¯s gone to help Jacob. My position in his household has be dangerous. I was obsessed with what he did to my body. It hurts to think about it but that¡¯s what happened.


    Besides, despite the circumstance, I couldn¡¯t stop myself from loving him Despite his indifference sometimes, I continued to crave his attention. Every day, I would be excited to see hime home. At four in the afternoon, I would sure to smell good because he would be home by five or six. Then, as soon as I would hear the sound of his caring, I would pretend to be so upied with watering the nts in the garden.


    Then, I would run to the gate to let him in.


    ¡°Hello,¡± I said greeting him as soon as hee out of his car. Dale has been so busy with Alpha Jacob, but I also wondered if he had something to do with Bethany.


    ¡°I miss you,¡± Dale suddenly said.


    I smiled sparingly as I tried to calm my heart from beating too fast. When he said he missed me, my heart almost skipped a beat and it was worrisome. What happened to me?


    ¡°What are you talking about, Dale?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m going to miss you every minute, do you know that? You just don¡¯t know how happy I am right now, Amber. We were separated for a few years but fate brought us together again,¡± the man said with a smile, but he was probably drunk.


    Why would he say those words to me?


    I just smiled and didn¡¯t react to his statement but he suddenly hugged me from behind, I was done. I was totally crazy when he conquered my mouth and ravished my lips even if we were still outside the house.


    ¡°I have good news,¡± said the man.


    ¡°W-what?¡±


    ¡°Maybe next week there will be a new maid. I don¡¯t want you to get so tired from doing all the house works,¡± he said.


    ¡°I see,¡± I replied because a new maiding made me worried.


    ¡°It¡¯s not okay that you get tired quickly every time we go to bed,¡± exined the man. ¡°Why are you suddenly silent?¡±


    ¡°Nothing. I just suddenly thought of something,¡± I lied but before I could take back what I had said, the man kissed me again even though we were just walking into the house.


    As usual, my knees immediately weakened and gave away. I had no choice but to respond to his kisses, until our tongues yed like swords inside our mouths.


    Dale was such a good kisser!


    We were both eager to possess each other¡¯s bodies. Then Dale picked me up and carried me back to the house.


    I thought that he would take me to the nearest sofa but I was wrong. He just leaned me against the nearest wall, and I gasped again as he immediately imed me.


    While I was falling into his kiss, the man had other ns. And when Dale finally buried his weapon, I could no longer control my own desire and Ipletely lost myself. My body moved on its own.


    My eyes widened when I felt I was about to reach the peak of happiness, but instead of closing my eyespletely, I opened them and looked at the man¡­who was also looking at me. For a moment, I was lost as our bodies moved in a perfect rhythm.From N?velDrama.Org.


    At that moment I felt strange for Dale. It¡¯s like he sucked my soul. I couldn¡¯t exin it but in those same moments, I realized that I really had to leave. My heartpletely fell for Dale and I was afraid that I might end up like the dead Luna, who loved a man too much and did something bad in the end.


    After a few seconds, we both returned from the cloud but suddenly Dale¡¯s weapon came back to life. His manhood became amorous again and I was tickled again when he moved slightly inside me.


    When Dale¡¯s masculinity came back to life while still buried in my body, I couldn¡¯t stop kissing the man. In my mind, that was thest kiss becauseter I would leave him for good.


    As the man became passionate, I became more and more embarrassed especially when his hardness came in and out of my body. Not long after, he lost his trance again because of the great taste and pleasure.


    Little by little, I got weaker and it seemed that the man just wanted to cradle me, but suddenly I was able to change our position when I felt the warm liquid flowing from his body.


    I kissed Dale on the lips, and then my tongue slowly moved down to his neck and I heard Dale moan softly from what I did.


    When I looked at the man¡¯s face, I was surprised when he suddenly smiled as if he was nning something bad.


    ¡°Why?¡± I asked, but he just grinned, and then my eyes widened in the realization that he was hard again. ¡°Seriously?¡± I asked again but he didn¡¯t respond. Instead, he showed me how powerful he could be.


    ¡°Faster please,¡± I moaned, my eyes almost bulging from the pleasure I was feeling because of how he caused every inch of my body to tingle.


    ¡°Yes, baby,¡± he replied.


    We both felt a strange taste while having sex and Dale only became more passionate. It kept pounding on my chest until we couldn¡¯t hear anything else but our moans.


    ¡°Baby¡­,¡± Dale moaned when he felt that he was about toe. ¡°Baby I Love You!¡± He moaned loudly again as his sperm began to pour out.

 CHAPTER 29

    =-Dale¡¯s POV=-


    Actually, I don¡¯t know what¡¯s happening to me anymore. I couldn¡¯t stop thinking about Amber, and just the thought of her being married to another man was so painful to think about.


    One day, when he was trying toe up with a better decision regarding Amber, Jacob called that he wasing. Fortunately, the new maid has already arrived, so Amber didn¡¯t have to prepare everything just like before.


    ¡°You like him,¡± Jacob said, and he didn¡¯t give me a chance to say no.


    ¡°Yes,¡± I admitted the truth.


    ¡°Until now you still like her?¡± Jacob couldn¡¯t believe what I told him.


    ¡°I cannot dictate my heart. I want her.¡±


    Jacobughed at my funny response.


    ¡°What¡¯s your n?¡± he asked.


    ¡°To tell you the truth, I do not know.¡±


    I shook my head when I couldn¡¯t stop thinking about the woman who cooked the best steak for me. I couldn¡¯t stop thinking about the woman whose body was so soft underneath me.


    ¡°Maybe you like her because of her skills in the kitchen,¡± Jacob tried to put some sense into my head.


    ¡°Do you think so?¡±


    For the first time, I wasn¡¯t sure about something, and Jacobughed at me, but then I realized that he was faking his smile since he arrived.


    ¡°Do you want some beer? We can talk about what¡¯s bothering you, dude.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Bethany,¡± he replied.


    I closed my eyes the moment I heard Bethany¡¯s name. After Jacob discovered where she was working, he abducted her and forced her to be his again. I felt bad for Bethany for experiencing all of those things, but then I realized I have been doing the same to Amber.


    ¡°Maybe it¡¯s time to let her go,¡± I suggested.


    ¡°No! I just have to find the man who has been helping her hide from me. The bastard deserved to be killed for not minding his own business!¡± Jacob screamed furiously.


    I tried to smile at my friend who was so worked up because of Bethany. Then, I casually checked my phone to see if she has called. Jacob mentioned that Bethany managed to escape, so I was waiting for the woman¡¯s call.


    ¡°I love her. I just love her so much,¡± Jacob mumbled.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s love, Jacob. It¡¯s an obsession,¡± I told him, and the word hit me big time.


    Just like Jacob, I was also obsessed with Amber. I couldn¡¯t let him go to the other man even if I was the one who arranged for her to marry Jacob¡¯s brother.


    ¡°Hmmm, about Amber¡¯s wedding,¡± I started.


    ¡°We have to discuss it some other time, Dale. Right now, all I could think about is Bethany!¡±


    ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s better for Bethany to be away from you. You know it is dangerous for Bethany to show up right now, Jacob,¡± I reminded him about his second wife.


    Jacob¡¯s love life was reallyplicated. First, he married Lucy and caused her to kill herself, then he married Lucy¡¯s twin and did everything to divorce the woman.


    Sometimes, I really had no idea what was going on inside Jacob¡¯s head. Although his maniptions against the twin were beneficial to him, it has a worse effect. He just endangered the life of Bethany¡­and their daughter!


    ¡°Just let her go. It¡¯s time for you to move on, Jacob. She doesn¡¯t love you,¡± I told him.


    ¡°Wrong. She loves me so much but she also hates me. Still, hate is love, Dale, and you know it. I have to find her, and once I did, I wouldn¡¯t let her out of my sight again!¡±


    ¡°Maybe, she already returned to her pack,¡± I said.


    ¡°Impossible! She once told me how much she hates her father for being domineering and controlling,¡± Jacob said.


    ¡°You got your answer, dude. She hates a domineering man and that¡¯s the reason why she left home, and then you tried to control her. What do you think will happen?¡±


    ¡°She will also hate me,¡± Jacob replied.


    ¡°Precisely! You have to change your style in dealing with Bethany if ever you will meet her again,¡± I said, but I doubt he would have a chance to see hisdy love again.


    ¡°And what about you, Dale? What is your n for Amber?¡±


    ¡°Nothing has changed, Jacob. She still has to marry your brother, and she would be shipped off to nd,¡± I replied.


    ¡°Even if it¡¯s hurting you, will you still send her away? You have to think again, Dale. Love moves in mysterious ways, and you don¡¯t have to control yourself anymore. I have met Amber on several asions and she doesn¡¯t like me. I am not her type, so you have nothing to worry about ruining our friendship because of a woman,¡± Jacob stated a fact.


    ¡°No, it¡¯s not that simple, Jacob.¡±


    ¡°It is very simple, Dale. Just own up to your feelings, and that¡¯s it.¡±


    I wanted to inform Jacob that I may have blurted those words when I made love with Amber yesterday. I knew she wanted to talk to me about it but I have been avoiding her since then.


    I pretended to be busy but I just wasn¡¯t ready for a confrontation. She probably heard those words but I didn¡¯t want to repeat saying those. What was I thinking? Why did I tell her that I love her?


    However, if she was smart enough, she would think that I just said it because of what we were doing. Men were known to blurt out words while fucking a woman.


    I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I almost missed her call.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    ¡°Dale, your phone is ringing. It might be urgent,¡± Jacob told me to take the call.


    So, I did.


    ¡°Yes? How may I help you?¡± I asked, and then I listened to her story on the other line. ¡°Hmmm, I think you have to go to the resort. You know what I am talking about,¡± I said, and then I casually called Jacob¡¯s name to let her know that Jacob was with me.

 CHAPTER 30

    =-Amber¡¯s POV=-


    For several days, I wanted to confront Dale about the words I heard when he made love to me. However, Alpha Jacob came and I didn¡¯t have a chance. Then, he left home without telling me where he was going.


    I wanted to call him but I held myself, besides, there¡¯s someone else at home whom I should take care of.


    The new maid, an omega like me, whose name was Mnie, was an opportunist woman. Mnie had a talent of provoking my anger. Yes, she was prettier than me, but it wasn¡¯t enough to tempt Dale into sleeping with her.


    Knowing Dale, I realized that he was afraid of women, and sometimes, I wondered if I am the only woman who had the opportunity to grace his bed.


    Since it has been a habit to stroll in the garden every morning, I was surprised to see Mnie in the garden as well. The woman was in her finery while taking a rest on the swing.


    From where I was standing, I could see how pretty she was, but her beauty was only skin-deep. She was mean!


    ¡°Hi, Amber! Are you here to have some fresh air?¡± she asked.


    ¡°I am,¡± I replied kindly.


    ¡°I see. Did Master Dale call you? He¡¯s never been home for several days,¡± she noticed.


    ¡°No, and he didn¡¯t have to let us know about his whereabouts, Mnie. We are servants here, and that¡¯s all,¡± I informed her.


    ¡°For now, but sooner orter, Dale will notice my pretty face, and he might want to make me his wife. What do you think?¡±Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Well, everyone is free to dream, Mnie. Just kept on dreaming.¡±


    ¡°Bitch!¡±


    When I heard him calling me bitch, my nostrils red in anger. How could she call me that way?


    ¡°Bitch? Did you just call me a bitch, Mnie?¡±


    ¡°Yes, because you are a bitch, Amber. Still, you are lucky to be alive until now. After that scandal with Alpha Marcus, I didn¡¯t expect you to stay alive. I heard they were discussing in court killing every omega who has joined the pregnancy program. Lucky you, Master Dale was kind enough, and he vouched for you. He saved your life, bitch,¡± she said.


    ¡°I know that, Mnie,¡± I lied. Of course, I had no idea that he went through all those troubles just to save my petty life. Once again, he wanted me to live, and yet, he¡¯s the one who¡¯s killing me every single day!


    ¡°Ah, I see. That must be the reason why you allowed him to visit your room, right? Because you were indebted to him?¡±


    For a moment, I took several deep breaths to calm down because every single wording out of Mnie¡¯s mouth was offensive. How dare she concludes that I was sleeping with Dale because I was indebted to the Beta?


    ¡°Where did you get that notion, Mnie?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just my opinion, Amber. After all, what else could there be? Don¡¯t tell me that you believe he¡¯s really in love with you!¡±


    Then, Mnieughed out loud.


    ¡°Look. If you have nothing else to say, just shut up, Mnie!¡±


    ¡°Wow. Aren¡¯t you so proud of yourself, Amber? Just because you receive his favor means that you¡¯re going to be his wife. He will not marry you, not now, not ever! To him, we are just ves, and by being his ve, he had every right to use our bodies!¡±


    ¡°You can be right about that, but I doubt if our Master would spare a moment to sleep with you,¡± I told Mnie, well, it was an insult that no man would want to sleep with an overuse woman.


    ¡°Says who? You know very well, Amber, that you are also not clean. How many times have you let the old Alpha fuck you? Didn¡¯t you scream with pleasure every time he did those things to you? Don¡¯t be a hypocrite, Amber McBride!¡±


    Mnie was right. I had been a hypocrite these past few days. I allowed Dale¡¯s attention to get into my bed, and I even believed that he truly loved me especially when he said those words.


    Mnie¡¯s words were never wrong. She spoke the truth. The Beta, being our master, has every right to sleep with me, or her.


    What makes me so stupid to believe that something good would happen?


    ¡°I¡¯m getting married soon, to Alpha Jacob¡¯s brother. Just let me know if you want to work in my household soon,¡± I informed Mnie and as expected, she became pale with embarrassment.


    ¡°And you believe him? That he¡¯s going to marry you off to a wealthy household?¡±


    I gritted my teeth as I continued to listen to Mnie¡¯s words. If only Dale was around to rebut Mnie¡¯s words but he hasn¡¯t been home for a few days. Thest time I saw him was when Alpha Jacob visited for a drink.


    They had fun at the gazebo while drinking ice-cold beers, but then when Alpha Jacob left, Dale also left.


    ¡°You are not going to marry into a rich household, Amber. But then, everyone can dream just like what you said, so keep on dreaming!¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s not dreaming, Mnie. She¡¯s getting married to a rich man¡­and that man is me.¡±


    Mnie and I were both shocked to see Dale standing from a distance. Then, I immediately ran to him as soon as I noticed the bruises on his face.


    ¡°Dale, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡±


    I immediately touched his face, but instead offorting him, he was the one whoforted me. He hugged me so tight!


    ¡°I miss you. I thought I won¡¯t be able to see you again, Amber. I miss you so much,¡± he whispered.


    ¡°Dale, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡±


    ¡°I love you. When I said those words that night, I meant all of it. I really love you,¡± he went on saying.

    =-Amber¡¯s POV=-


    ¡°Dale, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡± I asked him because he acted differently. He seemed to be a different person from the Dale I used to interact with each day. ¡°Wait, are you high on drugs?¡±


    ¡°W-what? Drugs? I don¡¯t do drugs, Amber,¡± he replied with a lot of conviction in his voice.


    ¡°Then, what¡¯s wrong with you? Look, I have known you for a long time, and you are not like this, Dale. Tell me who did this to you,¡± I asked while referring to the bruises on his jaw. ¡°Let¡¯s go inside for now. I will treat your wounds,¡± I told him, and he just nodded his head in agreement.


    ¡°What about me?¡± Mnie asked.


    Actually, I have forgotten that she was sitting on the swing. My attention was focused on Dale, so I didn¡¯t expect Mnie would stay here and eavesdrop on our conversation.


    ¡°What about you, Mnie? If you have nothing to do, please prepare something to eat,¡± Dale ordered, and even if I didn¡¯t hate Mnie that much, I was gloating when Dale intervened.


    ¡°Yes, sir,¡± Mnie said, and she was immediately out of the swing, and walked ahead of us.


    From time to time, Mnie would take a peek at us since Dale and I were walking too slowly.


    ¡°Can you tell me now what happens?¡± I asked him.


    ¡°Something came up and Jacob¡¯s new wife kidnapped Bethany by using me,¡± he replied.


    ¡°The Alpha¡¯s new wife? Lily Travis?¡±


    ¡°Yes, that¡¯s her. Soon, I will be able to tell you everything but for now, I am starving,¡± he said.


    ¡°Starving and you also need your wound to be treated,¡± I insisted.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothingpared to the wounds I had in the past, this is not skin deep, so there¡¯s nothing to worry about,¡± he exined.


    ¡°So, when you were gone, you were with Bethany, and you guys were abducted?¡± I asked but the mere mention of another woman¡¯s name made me feel so ufortable.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    I wanted to ask him about Bethany but Dale would probably assume I was being nosy for my own good. Still, I was dying to know anything about that woman, with who he hadte-night talks sometimes.


    ¡°How are you rted to Bethany? You seemed to be so concerned about her,¡± I noticed.


    ¡°Soon, I will introduce you to her,¡± he promised.


    ¡°Alright. Let¡¯s get something to eat first before I will treat those wounds,¡± I told him.


    ¡°Yeah, let¡¯s get something to eat first before I will eat you,¡± he teased me.


    Yeah, I knew he was just teasing me, but why did he have to whisper those words into my ear? Oh God, he really knew how to make me ufortable, and Mnie probably noticed the redness of my cheeks when we entered the dining room.


    Mnie just heated the leftover food that we had for lunch, and then she also prepared a te of French fries with lots of cheese in it. We had fried chicken at lunch, so it would go well with fries or even burgers.


    If Mnie¡¯s attitude was problematic, her skills in cooking weremendable. I think she knew to cook anything, or she can just make anything out of scratch, and it was one of the reasons why I offered her a job in nd.


    ¡°Do you also want a ss of juice, Amber?¡± she asked after serving Dale¡¯s favorite juice; a mixture of pineapple and orange juice.


    ¡°No, thank you. I think I will just have a ss of soda with lots of ice,¡± I informed Mnie who immediately went to get my drink, but before Mnie could totally get it, Dale stopped her.


    ¡°Soda is not good for her baby, Mnie. Get her a ss of juice, or water,¡± he ordered.


    ¡°Dale! It¡¯s not like I can have a soda every meal, and what¡¯s gotten into you? You really didn¡¯t care about my diet in the past,¡± I reminded him.


    ¡°That was in the past, Amber. For now, I have to take care of you and the baby,¡± he announced.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to. I¡¯m getting married to Jacob¡¯s brother very soon, and since the man was aware of my situation, he will probably take care of me,¡± I told him, but then he suddenly clenched his jaw.


    ¡°I will talk to Jacob about it, Bethany. I can¡¯t let get married to another man,¡± he stated.


    ¡°Hmmm, I think it¡¯s already toote for that, Dale. The wedding invitations were already distributed, and you know that the preparations were done. I just have to wait for the right date to go to nd and live there.¡±


    ¡°Amber, no!¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s your problem? Ever since you were excited to ship me off to nd!¡±


    It was a subtle reminder of his conversation with Jacob when he mentioned shipping me off to nd, and nothing would change in his ns. The moment, I overheard that conversation, I felt like dying, but I couldn¡¯t!


    ¡°Trust me on this, sweetheart, okay?¡±


    He seemed so eager about stopping the marriage, and I wondered if his words were really genuine earlier.


    ¡°Why are you doing this, Dale? It isn¡¯t like you topromise your n because of me,¡± I told him.


    ¡°Because I love you. I love you so much that I can sacrifice anything just to have you by my side forever,¡± he answered.


    ¡°Thank you for saying those words, Dale. It means a lot to me,¡± I told him without directly telling him how much I love, him or how much I cared about him. Well, he already knew how I felt about him. He even told me that it was my weakness.


    After eating, Dale informed Mnie to take rest for an hour or two, then she may start preparing for dinner. Dale also informed Mnie that there would be guests at dinner tonight.


    The mere mention of guestsing into his home made me worried. Dale didn¡¯t bring anyone at home, except for Jacob. So, I assumed that his guest would be the important people in the pack. Alpha Jacob would probablye, too!


    I took Dale into his room to treat the bruises on his skin. After cleaning them, I applied some ointment before putting on a bandage. He was against the idea, and to prove his point, he grabbed me into the bathroom.


    The moment he opened the shower, I got his point.


    ¡°Come here, Amber,¡± he mumbled in a soft voice, and then he grabbed me to go closer to him.


    The water made my clothes wet, and his clothes were also wet. I frowned at his childish act, but when he started taking off my clothes, one by one, I already had an idea what was going to happen next.

 CHAPTER 32

    =-Amber¡¯s POV=-


    As I watched his muscles move, I still couldn¡¯t believe that he owned up to his feelings earlier. He looked sincere so there¡¯s no reason why I should continue to doubt him about it.


    I tried to close my eyes because watching him up close was more than enough to make me crazy. I wanted him¡­all of him, actually!


    When our eyes met for a moment, neither of us dared to look away. Then, he held my wrist tightly before grabbing my unclothed body to his nakedness.


    ¡°D-Dale¡­,¡± I stuttered but that¡¯s all he allowed me to speak before ravishing my lips.


    Then, he let me go after conquering my mouth passionately!This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    At that moment, I wanted him to im my body once again. I wanted him to hug me or kiss me again. I must be insane but that¡¯s all I could think about at the moment, especially when he started to press his manhood into my skin.


    His strong hands were on my waist, and he kept on whispering naughty things into my ears. I gasped for air when he slowly caressed the skin on my back as if he was tracing my corbone. It was just a simple caress but it did great damage to self-control.


    ¡°I-I want you¡­,¡± I mumbled softly. ¡°I want you, Dale.¡±


    ¡°Good,¡± answered Dale, ¡°because I want you too.¡±


    When his hands started to caress my breasts, Ipletely lost it. There was something in the way his hands moved against my skin. It was addicting, and I believed he found my weakness.


    Dale gently caressed both of my breasts and asionally flicked my nipples. As a result, my nipples became hard, then he gently pinched them, one by one. I enjoyed the teasing of my breast, and then, I could no longer contain my moans.


    Then, without warning, he covered one of my breasts with his mouth and gently suck on it. I arched my back to give him more ess to it, but when his other hand fondled the other breast in a not-so-gentle manner, I didn¡¯t expect I would be enjoying it so much.


    I continued to arch my back as his tongue yed with my soft mounds, and then, when the sensation was too much to handle, I gripped tightly on his hair.


    Then, he suddenly touched the most sensitive part of my body, which was located between my thighs. I bit my bottom lip when he gently caressed my clitoris. Then, I gasped for breath when he increased the speed of his movements.


    ¡°I love it when you do that, Amber,¡± he whispered before kneeling in front of me.


    ¡°D-do what?¡±


    ¡°Biting your lip when I¡¯m touching you,¡± he replied, and then I could immediately feel his lips teasing my wetness.


    ¡°Ohhhh,¡± I moaned softly when he used his tongue to good use.


    My hold on his hair became tighter because I didn¡¯t want to let him go. I wanted him to continue doing it because it felt so good, and in fact, I wanted more of it.


    As he pleased me with his lips, I slowly parted my legs, so that it wouldn¡¯t be too hard on him, and then, without warning, he also used his finger, as he continued to lick me down there.


    ¡°Dale¡­ Dale.. oh my goodness, what are you doing to me?¡±


    ¡°Why? Don¡¯t you like it?¡±


    ¡°Mmmm, I love it, Dale. Please, don¡¯t stop,¡± I begged, and he didn¡¯t stop doing it until I screamed for his name.


    When he sensed that he did a good job, he immediately stood up and adjusted our position. He picked me up and pinned me against the cold tiles. The coldness of the wall was a perfect match to our burning desire.


    Dale¡¯s mouth covered one of my breasts, and his other hand was fondling the second one before he thrust so hard into it.


    This time, he went too deep, and my mouth gaped open at the sensation after he hit the right spot. When he started moving inside me, continuously hitting my G-spot, my eyes rolled heavenward.


    ¡°Amber¡­sweetheart, I love you so much. I love you,¡± he said as he moved faster and all I could do was to hold on his hair tightly for support.


    ¡°I love you, too, Dale. I have always loved you since that day,¡± I responded but it was really difficult to talk to while being fucked so hard.


    ¡°Let¡¯s get married tomorrow,¡± he proposed while he continued to assault my g-spot.


    ¡°Yeah, we will do that, Dale. I will be your wife, and I will be by your side forever,¡± I mumbled incoherently.


    Actually, I couldn¡¯t think straight but he became a chatterbox in the middle of our lovemaking. Still, we were able to focus on reaching our goal, to reach the highest peak of happiness, and when it happened after a few moments, he screamed for my name.


    He screamed for my name over and over again, and to me, it was the sweetest sound I have ever heard. I, Amber McBride, was really head over heels for the heartless beta.


    ¡°I promise to make you happy forever,¡± he assured me, and I smiled because I knew he would keep his word.


    Afterward, Dale began showing me how great it would be to be his wife. After we made love inside the bathroom, he helped me with my bath. He teased me as he scrub my back.


    Later on, he even helped me in choosing a suitable dress for dinner, but before I could put it on, he imed me once more. When he was burning with desire, I was also insatiable when ites to him.


    ¡°I think we should not do this more often,¡± I suggested.


    ¡°Why?¡± he asked innocently.


    ¡°Because it might be dangerous for the baby,¡± I replied, and his eyes widened. Did he forget about my pregnancy? No way! Then, he chuckled.


    ¡°Sweetie, have you forgotten that we are werewolves? You can run a mile and our baby would just be fine,¡± he assured me.


    ¡°Still, I don¡¯t want to endanger our baby¡¯s life, Dale,¡± I told him.


    And when he pouted his lips, I pinched the skin on his side. I waited for that reaction before smiling at him.


    ¡°I am just kidding. I love you,¡± I whispered the words into his ear, and then I gently bit the tip of his earlobe.


    ¡°I love you more, sweetheart. Let¡¯s stay like this forever,¡± he said.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    ¡°Being happy. Let¡¯s stay being happy together, sweetheart, and thank you for making me the happiest man on Earth,¡± he dered.


    ¡°Correction, sweetheart. Not the happiest man, but the happiest werewolf in the entire pack,¡± I told him, and he grinned happily.

 CHAPTER 33

    Dale¡¯s POV


    I had no idea that owning up to my feelings would make me so happy. Whenever I looked at the woman who was snuggling close to me, I felt d that I took the courage to rescue her from the rogues before.


    While staring into Amber¡¯s face, I recalled the very first day when I met her, being attacked by several rogues, who wanted to taste her luscious and young body.


    ***several years ago***


    I never thought I would find myself in this situation ¨C arguing with my best friend, Jacob Summers, over a girl. However, that¡¯s exactly what was happening.


    We both had feelings for the same girl, and we didn¡¯t know how to handle it. At first, we tried to ignore the situation, hoping that it would go away. But as our feelings grew stronger, they became harder to ignore.


    One day, we finally had it out. We argued for hours, trying to convince each other that we were the right choice for the girl. It was an exhausting and emotional experience, and I wasn¡¯t sure if we would ever be able to get past it.


    As Iy in bed that night, I couldn¡¯t help but think about the girl. I cared about her deeply, but I didn¡¯t want to lose my friend over her. I knew that I had to find a way to resolve the situation.


    The next day, I went to my friend¡¯s house to talk. We had both cooled off a bit since our argument, and we were ready to have a mature conversation about our feelings.


    We agreed that the girl was important to both of us, but that our friendship was even more important. We decided to both take a step back and let the girl make her own decision. It was a difficult choice, but it was the right one.


    In the end, the girl chose my friend. I was disappointed, but I knew that it was for the best. I was happy for them, and I was grateful that my friendship with my best friend had survived our argument.


    Looking back on the situation, I realized that love could beplicated, but it¡¯s important to handle it with maturity and respect. I learned that sometimes, the best thing you can do is let go and trust that things will work out for the best.


    I was walking home from school when I saw a group of boys surrounding a girl. They were shouting insults at her and trying to grab her bag. I could see that the girl was scared and alone.


    My heart raced as I approached the group. I knew that I had to do something to help the girl. I stood between her and the boys, trying to look as confident as possible.


    ¡°What do you want?¡± I asked the boys, trying to sound as firm as I could.


    ¡°We just want her stuff,¡± one of the boys sneered.


    ¡°Well, you can¡¯t have it,¡± I said, trying to sound as tough as possible.


    The boys hesitated for a moment, sizing me up. I could feel my heart racing as I waited for their response.


    Finally, one of the boys spoke up.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Fine, we¡¯ll leave her alone. But you better watch your back.¡±


    The boys walked away, leaving the girl and me alone. I turned to the girl and asked if she was okay. She nodded, but I could see that she was still shaken up.


    I walked with her the rest of the way home, making small talk to help take her mind off of what had happened. When we got to her house, she thanked me for helping her and gave me a small smile.


    As I walked home, I couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of pride. I had stood up for someone who was being harassed, and I had made a difference in her life. It was a small act, but it made a big impact.


    From that day on, I made amitment to always stand up for what was right, even if it meant putting myself in danger. I knew that I had the power to make a difference in the world, and I was determined to use it to help others.


    One day, I was hiking through the forest, enjoying the fresh air and the sound of birds chirping. As I walked, I heard a faint cry for help. I followed the sound. Then, I heard another scream. At first, I thought it was just a trick of my imagination, but then, I heard it again, louder this time. I turned to a corner and saw a group of rogues attacking a young girl.


    The rogues surrounded her, and they were shouting at her, pushing her around, and I could see the fear in her eyes. My first instinct was to run the other way. I was scared and I did not want to get involved, but something inside of me told me that I had to help her. I could not just stand by and watch as she was being bullied and attacked.


    I took a deep breath and closed the distance between us. As I approached the group, my heart raced with fear, but I tried to look as confident as possible, hoping that it would deter them from doing anything to me¡­and to the girl.


    ¡°What do you want?¡± I asked, trying to sound as firm as I could. ¡°Leave her alone!¡± Imanded but one of them justughed.


    The men turned toward me, their eyes filled with anger.


    ¡°This doesn¡¯t concern you,¡± one of them spat. ¡°We just want the girl,¡± he added.


    Without hesitation, I ran towards them. I knew I had to do something to help the girl. The rogues were startled by my presence and they turned toward me, their eyes full of rage. I stood in front of the girl, trying to look as confident as possible.


    ¡°Leave her alone,¡± I said, trying to sound as firm as I could.


    The rogues hesitated for a moment, but then they charged toward me. I tried to fight them off, but I was no match for their strength. One of them hit me in the head, and I almost lose consciousness, but I was trained to fight.


    ¡°Are you okay?¡± she asked, her voice full of concern.


    I nodded, trying to focus on the pain in my head. ¡°What about you?¡± I asked.


    The girl looked down, and I could see the fear in her eyes. ¡°I am scared,¡± she said. ¡°But I¡¯m okay.¡±


    I nodded before ring at the rogues who dared to mock my strength. I didn¡¯t back down. I stood between them and the girl, trying to protect her. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest as they closed in on me.


    But then something unexpected happened. One of the men, seeing that I was serious, backed off. The others followed suit, and they all left without another word.


    At that moment, I wondered what they saw in me. Why they slowly backed off and seemed to be scared, when I just stood there and did not do anything else? As I turned to the girl, I could see the relief in her eyes.


    ¡°Thank you,¡± she thanked me for helping her, and we exchanged a few words before parting ways.


    ¡°You should not be alone in the woods. It¡¯s dangerous,¡± I reminded her but when she nced at me, my heart almost skipped a beat.


    I couldn¡¯t believe my eyes. She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. Her long, dark brown hair flowed in the breeze, and her stunning blue eyes sparkled in the sunlight.


    I was struck by her beauty, and I couldn¡¯t take my eyes off her. I watched her from afar, trying to muster up the courage to talk to her. But every time I got close, my nerves got the better of me, and I chickened out.


    ¡°I am truly grateful for your help. What is your name by the way?¡± she asked.


    When she asked me about my name, I was confused about whether to tell her the truth or not. She stared at me while waiting for my response and when it took me a long time to speak, she changed her mind.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to tell me if you are ufortable. You can call me, Amber,¡± she introduced herself.


    ¡°Dale. My name is Dale,¡± I mumbled in a barely audible voice, so I was not sure if he heard me or not.


    I had been talking to her for a while, and I was starting to feel like we really had a connection. She was smart, funny, and beautiful, and I was excited to get to know her better, but then she said something that caught me off, guard.


    ¡°I¡¯m an omega,¡± she said, almost apologetically.


    I was surprised. I had always thought that omegas were weak and submissive, but she didn¡¯t seem like either of those things. She was strong and confident, and I admired that about her.


    ¡°That doesn¡¯t matter to me,¡± I said, hoping to reassure her. ¡°You¡¯re an amazing person, and that¡¯s all that matters.¡±


    She smiled, and I could tell that she was relieved. We continued talking, and I could feel the connection between us growing stronger. As the sun started to set, she stood up and stretched.


    ¡°I should be going,¡± she said, looking at me with a hint of sadness in her eyes.


    I didn¡¯t want her to leave. I felt like we had so much more to talk about, so much more to explore. But I knew that I couldn¡¯t keep her there if she didn¡¯t want to stay. As she walked away, I felt a sense of longing wash over me.


    I wanted to be with her, to protect her and make her happy. But I knew that I had to be patient. Rome wasn¡¯t built in a day, and neither was a rtionship. I made a promise to myself to see her again, to get to know her better, and show her that I cared. I knew that it wouldn¡¯t be easy, but I was willing to do whatever it took to make her mine.


    As the days went on, I continued to see her in the park. Sometimes she was alone, reading a book or enjoying the scenery. Other times she was with friends,ughing and having a good time.


    I knew that I had to talk to her, but I just couldn¡¯t find the right moment. Every time I tried to approach her, I would get tongue-tied, and she would slip away. But then one day, as I was sitting on a bench, I saw her walking toward me. My heart raced as she approached, and I tried to look as casual as possible.


    ¡°Hi,¡± she said, shing me a smile.


    I could feel my heart pounding in my chest as I tried to reply.


    ¡°Hey,¡± I managed to say.


    We struck up a conversation, and I was surprised by how easy it was to talk to her. We had a lot inmon, and I could tell that there was a connection between us.


    As we said our goodbyes, I felt a sense of happiness wash over me. I had finally talked to the girl of my dreams, and I had a feeling that this was just the beginning. I knew that I would do whatever it takes to make her mine.


    We had formed a strong bond over our shared experience, and I didn¡¯t want it to end. I promised to stay in touch with Amber, and we exchanged phone numbers.


    In the weeks that followed, Amber and I talked every day. We shared our hopes and dreams, and we found ourselves falling in love. I knew that I had found someone special in Amber, and I knew that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her.


    Eventually, I gathered the courage to ask Amber out on a date. She epted, but something happened and I was not able to meet her. She was probably angry when I stood her up.

    Dale¡¯s POV


    =-events before Amber was pregnant=-


    Since then, I couldn¡¯t stop thinking about her ¨C the girl I had rescued in the forest. Ever since that day, she had been on my mind constantly. I wanted to see her again, to make sure that she was okay, but her family left their home and transferred to another.


    I went back to the forest where I had first seen her, hoping to find her there. But she was nowhere to be found. I asked around, trying to see if anyone knew who she was, but no one could help me.


    Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months. I searched high and low, but I couldn¡¯t find her. I didn¡¯t even know her full name, so it was almost impossible to track her down.


    As time went on, I started to wonder if I had imagined the whole thing. Maybe I had seen someone else and my mind had yed tricks on me. But deep down, I knew that wasn¡¯t true. I had seen her, and I had rescued her.


    It had been five years since Ist saw her. The girl I had rescued in the woods was still on my mind, even though I had long since given up hope of ever seeing her again.


    But fate had other ns. I was at a party when I saw her across the room. My heart skipped a beat ¨C it was her. She had changed, of course. She looked more confident, more sure of herself. And then I saw him ¨C the alpha of our pack- standing beside her, his arm wrapped possessively around her waist.


    I tried to ignore them, to pretend that I hadn¡¯t seen her. But my eyes kept drifting back to her. I could tell that she saw me too, but she made no move toe over and talk to me.


    As the night went on, I watched her from afar, trying to make sense of what I was feeling. I still cared about her deeply, but I knew that she was someone else now. She had be the alpha woman, and I had no ce in her life.


    Finally, as the party started to wind down, I saw her slip away from the alpha¡¯s side and make her way over to someone else. They exchanged pleasantries, but it was clear that things had changed between her. She was guarded, and cautious, and I could tell that she was trying to maintain an image.


    As she walked away, I felt a sense of sadness wash over me. I had waited so long to see her again, only to realize that we were no longer the same people we had been when we first met. She had grown in ways that I couldn¡¯t understand, and I had to ept that we were on different paths now.


    As I left the party that night, I couldn¡¯t help but think about what might have been. But I also knew that sometimes, the best thing you can do is let go of the past and move forward. I knew that I would always care about her, but I also knew that it was time to start a new chapter in my life.


    I realized that she didn¡¯t recognize me. It had been so long, and I had changed so much, that I was just another face in the crowd. I made my way over to her, trying to steady my nerves.


    ¡°Excuse me,¡± I said, tapping her on the shoulder. ¡°Do you remember me? We met a long time ago.¡±


    She looked at me, her expression nk. ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± she said. ¡°I don¡¯t think I do.¡±


    I tried to jog her memory, telling her about the day we had met, the woods where we had first talked. But it was clear that she didn¡¯t remember me at all.


    ¡°Are you sure?¡± he asked.


    ¡°Yes, I have never been to the woods, sir. I am not allowed to be in the woods,¡± she continued.


    I felt a sense of disappointment wash over me. I had held on to the hope that she would remember me, that we would pick up where we had left off. But it was clear that that wasn¡¯t going to happen.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay,¡± I said, trying to sound as casual as possible. ¡°It was a long time ago. I¡¯m just d to see you again.¡±


    She smiled politely, but I could tell that there was a distance between us now. We made small talk for a few more minutes, but I could feel the conversation starting to fizzle out.


    I was feeling down, and I did not know what to do. The girl I had been imagining all these years was totally gone, and I was feeling lost and alone. So, I decided to go to the bar, hoping to drown my sorrows in alcohol. I knew it was not the healthiest way to deal with my emotions, but I did not know what else to do.


    As I sat at the bar, I ordered drink after drink. I did not care about the consequences. I just wanted to forget about her, but then something unexpected happened.


    I was sitting at the bar, nursing my drink, when she walked in. She was beautiful, with long blonde hair, and sparking blue eyes. I couldn¡¯t take my eyes off her. As she walked past me, I couldn¡¯t help but ask her a question.


    ¡°Hey, what brings you here?¡± I asked, trying to sound casual.


    She smiled, revealing perfect white teeth. ¡°I needed a break,¡± she said, sitting down next to me.


    We struck up a conversation, and I could tell that there was a connection between us. We talked about our jobs, our hobbies, and our dreams. I felt like I could talk to her for hours. I wasughing and joking, enjoying thepany of a stranger next to me. I realized that I didn¡¯t need to drown my sorrows in alcohol.


    As the night wore on, we started to open up to each other. She told me about her past, and I shared some of my own struggles. I felt like I had known her for years, even though we had just met.


    At some point, we both realized that we had been talking for hours. I looked at her, and she looked back at me, her eyes shining with warmth.


    ¡°I had a really great time tonight,¡± I said, feeling a sense of vulnerability.


    ¡°Me too,¡± she replied, her hand reaching out to touch mine.


    At that moment, I felt like anything was possible. I didn¡¯t know where this was going, but I knew that I wanted to find out.


    We exchanged numbers, and I walked her to her car. As she drove away, I felt a sense of hope wash over me. Maybe this was the beginning of something great.


    As she pulled up to the curb in her car, I felt a pang of sadness. I did not want the night to end, but I knew that we both had to go our separate ways.


    But then, to my surprise, she came back. She got out of the car and walked over to me. Without saying a word, she leaned in and kissed me.


    My heart raced as I felt her soft lips on mine. I could taste the sweetness of her lip balm, and I could feel the warmth of her body pressed against mine.


    As we pulled away from the kiss, I could see the intensity in her eyes.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to say goodbye yet,¡± she said, her voice barely above a whisper.


    I felt a surge of excitement. This was a moment I had been dreaming of, but I didn¡¯t want to push her.


    ¡°We don¡¯t have to,¡± I said, my own voice barely louder than hers.


    We walked around the block, talking andughing as if we had known each other for years. It was a perfect moment, and I knew that I never wanted it to end.


    We walked around the city, and the tension between us grew stronger. I felt like I was walking on clouds, and I knew that I wanted to take things to the next level.


    As we stood on a quiet street corner, I looked into her eyes and knew that it was the perfect moment. Without hesitating, I leaned in and kissed her.


    Her lips were soft and warm, and I felt a spark of electricity between us. We wrapped our arms around each other, lost in the moment.


    As we pulled away, we both smiled, knowing that there was something special between us.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been wanting to do that all night,¡± I said my heart racing.


    ¡°Me too,¡± she replied, her eyes shining with affection.


    We continued walking, holding hands, and talking about our hopes and dreams. I knew that I wanted to spend more time with her, to explore this connection we had, but then I remembered the girl in the woods from several years ago.


    ¡°I think it is gettingte now,¡± I said to the woman who obviously did not want to leave my side. She was obviously smitten with me.


    ¡°Yeah. My ce is just two blocks from here,¡± she stated.


    I narrowed my eyes while considering her subtle invitation to go to her ce, and since I had nothing else to do, I smiled and agreed.


    ¡°We should grab some food on our way to your ce,¡± I suggested and she giggled happily.


    The woman whose name was Jessica was great in bed. I had a good time with her, but her skills were not enough to make me forget about Amber. While fucking Jessica, all I could think of was Amber. I wanted Amber to writhe under my body.


    After the deed, I told her I needed to go home and she was good with it. As we said our goodbyes for the night, I knew that she wanted to see me again soon.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    However, I became busy with the clinic especially when the omega pregnancy program was in full swing. Then, one day, I saw Amber in the clinic. I was stunned to see her again, but it seemed like she did not remember me at all.


    When I approached her, I could see the confusion in her eyes. She was lost, she was worried and so confused. I nced at the nurse who checked on her vitals, but the nurse just shrugged off her shoulders.


    ¡°Excuse me, do I know you?¡± she asked, looking at me quizzically.


    My heart sank. How could she not remember me? Had I done something wrong?


    ¡°I manage this clinic, Madame,¡± I told her, and she just raised an eyebrow before totally ignoring me.


    ¡°I see. Will you be the one to check if I am pregnant?¡± she asked.


    When she fired that question, I realized that she was enlisted in the omega pregnancy program. She was one of Alpha Marcus¡¯ women. When the realization hit me, I became sad that the woman I had been dreaming to be with again, has be someone else¡¯s woman.


    ¡°Yes,¡± I replied.


    ¡°Doc, do you think I am pregnant?¡± she asked again.


    ¡°We need to do some tests, Madame,¡± I replied.


    ¡°Okay,¡± she said before she turned her back from me.


    As I watched her turn her back, I couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of loss. Had our connection really been so insignificant to her? Or was there something else going on?


    I decided to give her some space, hoping that maybe she would remember me on her own. But as the days turned into weeks, I started to lose hope.


    Eventually, I realized that maybe it wasn¡¯t meant to be. Maybe our connection had been just a passing moment, a brief spark of something that could have been.


    Honestly speaking, I felt bad for every omega who was forced to be part of the pregnancy program. Nobody could be pregnant, and each one of them was doomed to suffer in the dungeon or die.


    ¡°Doc, can I talk to you?¡±


    I turned to see one of the doctors in the clinic. Doctor Brown was the one in charge for the Alpha¡¯s health. Because of him, I learned that something was wrong with Alpha Marcus. The Alpha¡¯s health condition was unheard of in someone of his status and power.


    ¡°Hey, how¡¯s it¡¯s going with thetest patient? Is there a sign that she¡¯s pregnant?¡± he asked me.


    ¡°Not really,¡± I replied.


    ¡°Oh, that¡¯s too bad! I knew it was a strange case that the Alpha has been having trouble with infertility but was I hoping he could get someone pregnant,¡± Dr. Brown stated.


    ¡°Have you been able to identify the cause?¡± I asked but he just shook his head.


    ¡°Not yet. We have done a lot of tests, but everything seems to be normal. I am not sure what¡¯s causing it,¡± he responded.


    ¡°Could be psychological, then,¡± I told him.


    Dr. Brown nodded thoughtfully.


    ¡°Well, there could be a number of factors at y. It could be hormonal, or there could be some sort of gic issue,¡± he exined.


    ¡°I thought about that,¡± I said.


    Dr. Brown leaned forward, looking at me seriously. ¡°Well, we need to keep looking. This is a big deal ¨C if the Alpha can¡¯t produce an heir, it could cause a lot of problems.¡±


    ¡°I know,¡± I said, feeling the weight of the responsibility. ¡°I¡¯ll keep digging, see if there¡¯s anything we¡¯ve missed.¡±


    As Dr. Brown left, I turned back to the room where Amber was staying, and then, I felt bad for her. For sure, she would be sent to prison anytime soon. Every omega who failed in conceiving a child for the Alpha after sleeping with him for two months would be punished.

 CHAPTER 35

    Dale¡¯s POV


    It had been a whirlwind romance ¨C we had fallen for each other quickly and passionately. I couldn¡¯t imagine my life without her, and I knew that she felt the same way.


    But then, something changed. It started small ¨C little things that I used to find charming or endearing started to annoy me. And then, it grew into something bigger ¨C I found myself feeling indifferent toward her, almost as if I didn¡¯t care anymore.


    I tried to ignore it, to push it away and focus on the good things. But the more I tried, the more my indifference grew.


    I didn¡¯t know what to do. How could I go from loving someone so deeply to feeling nothing at all?


    I tried to talk to her about it, but every time I tried, I found myself tongue-tied and unable to express myself. I didn¡¯t want to hurt her, but I knew that something had to change. And then, one day, it all came to a head. We were arguing about something trivial, and suddenly, I just snapped.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you, Dale?¡± she asked in disbelief when I snapped at her for overcooking our meal.


    ¡°I am tired of pretending, Amber,¡± I told her.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Pretending about what?¡±


    ¡°That I really love you. I mean, I don¡¯t know. I can¡¯t exin it. I thought I love you but I think I was just being territorial when ites to you. I cannot imagine seeing you being married to someone else,¡± I exined and she became pale at my confession.


    ¡°What do you mean, Dale? What are you talking about?¡± she asked, then, she looked at me, her eyes filled with hurt and confusion. ¡°How could you say that?¡± she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.


    I didn¡¯t know how to respond. I didn¡¯t want to hurt her, but I also couldn¡¯t keep pretending that everything was okay. I still cared for her and our baby, but someone inside me was eating me alive.


    Perhaps, it was because I have neglected my n to avenge my mother¡¯s death. The Alpha has be powerless but it did not end there. I knew I needed to do something more.


    ¡°I need some space,¡± I told her. I asked for a break ¨C to give each other some space and time to think.


    And as I walked away, I couldn¡¯t help but wonder what had gone wrong. How could I have fallen out of love so quickly, and with someone that I had cared for so deeply?


    It was a painful realization, but one that I knew I had to confront. Maybe, just maybe, the love that we had shared had been real, but it was no longer enough to sustain us.


    I tried to avoid her each day but fate brought us together once again.


    One day, I walked through the garden, the soft grass beneath my feet and the gentle scent of flowers in the air. It was a peaceful oasis, a ce where I could escape from the stresses of my daily life.


    But then, I saw her. She was sitting on a bench, her head in her hands and tears streaming down her face.


    My heart ached at the sight. I wanted to go to her, to hold her andfort her, but something held me back. Was it the fear of being rejected? The fear of making things worse?


    But then, I saw her look up and catch my eye. There was something in her expression ¨C a mixture of pain, vulnerability, and maybe even a hint of hope.


    I took a deep breath and walked towards her, my heart racing with every step.


    ¡°Are you okay?¡± I asked softly, my voice barely above a whisper.


    She looked at me, her eyes red from crying. ¡°No,¡± she said, her voice cracking. ¡°I¡¯m not okay.¡±


    I sat down next to her, feeling the warmth of her body next to mine. ¡°Do you want to talk about it?¡± I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.


    And then, something strange happened. As we talked, as she opened up to me about her pain and her fears, I felt something shift inside of me. The indifference that I had felt for so long began to fade away, reced by a deep sense of empathy and understanding.


    So, what was wrong with me? I was also confused!


    I looked at her, my heart heavy with the weight of my decision.


    ¡°I think it¡¯s time for you to leave,¡± I said, trying to keep my voice steady.


    She looked up at me, surprise and hurt written across her face. ¡°What do you mean?¡± she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.


    ¡°I mean that it¡¯s time for you to go,¡± I said, my words firm but gentle. ¡°This isn¡¯t working out. We¡¯re not right for each other.¡±


    She looked down at the ground, tears filling her eyes. ¡°But I thought¡­ I thought we had something special,¡± she said, her voice trembling.


    I took a deep breath, trying to stay strong. ¡°I know,¡± I said. ¡°But sometimes, things just don¡¯t work out. It¡¯s not your fault, it¡¯s not mine. It¡¯s just the way things are.¡±


    She looked up at me, her eyes full of pain and confusion. ¡°Can¡¯t we try to work things out?¡± she asked, her voice pleading.


    But I knew that it was over. I knew that we had tried our best, but it just wasn¡¯t enough. ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± I said, standing up and walking towards the door. ¡°But it¡¯s time for you to leave.¡±


    ¡°Dale¡­,¡± she mumbled in a low voice, hoping I would change my decision.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Amber,¡± I told her.


    With teary eyes, she left me in the garden. Her steps were slow as she walked toward the house. I followed her. She went straight to our bedroom.


    I watched her move about the room, her eyes focused on the task at hand. She was packing her belongings, preparing to leave my home and start a new chapter of her life.


    I didn¡¯t want her to go, but I knew that it was the right thing. We had tried to make it work, but in the end, it just wasn¡¯t enough.


    As she folded her clothes and carefully ced them in her suitcase, I couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of sadness wash over me. I had grown to care for her deeply, and the thought of her leaving was almost unbearable.


    I watched as she packed herst item and zipped up her suitcase.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to miss you,¡± I said, my voice barely above a whisper. Why did I say it?


    She looked up at me, her eyes filled with a mixture of sadness and hope. ¡°I¡¯m going to miss you too,¡± she said.


    I nodded, knowing that she was right. And as I helped her carry her suitcase to the door, I couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of gratitude. Gratitude for the time that we had spent together, and for the lessons that we had learned.


    I watched as she walked out the door, her head held high and her eyes fixed on the horizon. And as she disappeared from view, I knew that she was going to be okay. That she was going to find her way, and that someday, we might meet again.


    Then, I ran to follow her.


    ¡°Amber!¡±


    ¡°What is it, Dale?¡±


    ¡°I will take you to Jacob¡¯s house,¡± I told her and her eyes widened in disbelief.

 CHAPTER 36

    Amber¡¯s POV


    When he told me to leave his ce, I wanted to cry and begged him to let me stay, but my pride stopped me from doing so. It was my pride that helped to remain standing that day because, at that moment, I really wanted to die.


    When he offered to take me back to Jacob¡¯s home, I did notin. I just let him take me back to Jacob¡¯s ce, to continue working as a maid. I felt so small when I arrived at the Alpha¡¯s home.


    Still, I did notin. I had to survive for the sake of my baby. I had to keep on living even if I am heartbroken because of Dale¡¯s decision and indifference. He betrayed me. He promised me forever but he couldn¡¯t keep it. In the end, he couldn¡¯t keep up with his promise and discarded me like a hot potato.


    I knew from the moment I returned to the Alpha¡¯s residence, that the Luna didn¡¯t like me. She would always give me a cold stare and make snidements under her breath whenever she saw me.


    At first, I tried my best to ignore her. I knew that being a maid was a thankless job and that it was my duty to serve the royal family to the best of my ability. But no matter how hard I worked, no matter how much effort I put in, the Luna was never satisfied.


    She would criticize the way I cleaned, the way I served food, and the way I dressed. She even went so far as to use me of stealing, even though I had never taken anything that wasn¡¯t mine.


    It was a constant source of stress and anxiety, knowing that the Luna was always watching me and waiting for me to mess up. But I couldn¡¯t quit ¨C being a maid was the only job I had, and I needed it to survive.


    And so, I continued to work, even though every day was a struggle. But no matter how hard I tried, I could never seem to please the Luna. And in the end, I knew that I would never be good enough for her.


    One day, the Luna summoned me to her chambers. I could feel my heart racing as I walked through the pce corridors, unsure of what she wanted.


    When I arrived, the Luna was sitting at her desk, a frown on her face.


    ¡°I have a task for you,¡± she said, her voice cold and stern. ¡°It is a difficult task, but I trust that you are up for it.¡±


    I nodded, my palms sweating. ¡°What is it?¡± I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.


    The Luna handed me a piece of paper. ¡°I need you to write a letter to my husband,¡± she said. ¡°I want you to express my love and devotion to him, in the most heartfelt way possible.¡±


    I looked down at the paper, my heart sinking. Writing a love letter to the king? It was a task that was far beyond my abilities.


    But I knew that I had to try. With shaking hands, I picked up a pen and began to write. I poured my heart and soul into every word, trying to capture the Luna¡¯s love and devotion in the best way possible.


    When I was finished, I handed the letter to the Luna, my hands shaking. She read it over, her face was expressionless.


    ¡°It will do,¡± she said, her voice t.


    As I walked away, my heart was heavy with uncertainty. I couldn¡¯t help but wonder what would happen if the king didn¡¯t respond to the letter. Would the Luna me me? Would I lose my job?


    But in the end, I knew that I had done the best I could. And even if it wasn¡¯t good enough for the Luna, it was the best I could do.


    The Luna was known throughout the pack as a woman with a heart of stone. She ruled with an iron fist, showing no mercy to those who crossed her or failed to meet her expectations. Aside from that, she was also known as a spoiled brat of one powerful Alpha.


    As a maid in the pce, I had seen firsthand just how heartless the Luna could be. She would order executions without a second thought, and punish those who displeased her with cruel and unusual methods.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    I knew that I had to tread carefully around her, always watching my words and actions to avoid drawing her ire. But no matter how hard I tried, it seemed like the Luna always found fault with me. And while I knew that I was just a lowly maid, it still hurt to be treated with such contempt.


    But I knew that I couldn¡¯t let her get to me. I had to keep working, and keep striving to do my best, no matter how much the Luna seemed to dislike me.


    I saw the toll that the Luna¡¯s heartlessness was taking on the pack. People were afraid to speak out, afraid to make mistakes, for fear of drawing the Luna¡¯s wrath.


    It was a dark time, a time when kindness andpassion were in short supply. But despite it all, I knew that I had to keep pushing forward, doing what I could to make the world a better ce, even in the face of the Luna¡¯s cruelty.


    I learned that the the Luna assumed that I had been sleeping with her husband, and used me of trying to trap him with a child.


    I was shocked and hurt by her words. I had never been anything but loyal to the royal family, and to be used of such a terrible thing was devastating.


    But no matter how much I protested my innocence, the Luna refused to listen. She made it clear that she believed the worst of me, and that she would do everything in her power to make sure that I paid for my supposed crime.


    She make my life miserable, finding fault with everything I did and making it clear that she wanted me gone from the pce. But I refused to let her get the best of me. I continued to work as hard as I could, doing my best to ignore the Luna¡¯s insults and focus on my duties. And even though it seemed like she would never be satisfied, I knew that I had to keep pushing forward, no matter how hard it might be.


    In the end, I knew that the Luna¡¯s treatment of me was a reflection of her own insecurities and fears and that I was not to me for her misery.


    One day, she came to the kitchen where I was working. Every servant was scared of her, and that includes me. I was also scared but I pretended that her presence did not scare me at all.


    ¡°Where is Amber McBride?¡± she asked in a loud voice.


    As soon as I heard her calling my name, I stepped forward to greet her. ¡°Yes, Luna?¡±


    ¡°I have noticed that the quality of your work has been slippingtely. What do you have to say for yourself?¡± she asked in a condescending tone, humiliating me in front of the other servants.


    ¡°I apologize, Your Majesty. I have been trying my best,¡± I replied.


    ¡°Your best is not good enough. I expect perfection from all of my staff. Do you understand?¡±


    ¡°Yes, Luna. I will work harder.¡±


    ¡°See that you do. I won¡¯t tolerate anything less than excellence, and if I catch you cking off again, there will be consequences,¡± she threatened me.


    ¡°Yes, Luna. I understand,¡± I answered nervously.


    ¡°Good. Now go back to your duties.¡±


    I had always tried my best to serve the Luna faithfully, but it seemed like nothing I did was ever good enough for her. No matter how hard I worked, she always found fault with my performance, and her punishments grew more severe with each passing day.


    One day, I made a mistake while preparing the Luna¡¯s chamber for the night. I had forgotten to change the sheets on her bed, and she noticed right away. She was furious, and she demanded that I be punished.


    I knew what that meant. The Luna had a reputation for being cruel to her staff, and I had heard stories of the brutal punishments she had inflicted on those who had crossed her in the past.


    I braced myself as the Luna ordered two guards to take me to the dungeon. I was terrified, but I knew that I had to keep my head down and stay quiet if I wanted to make it through the night.


    When we arrived at the dungeon, the guards locked me in a cell and left me there alone. The darkness and the silence were overwhelming, and I felt my fear grow with each passing moment.


    But as the night wore on, I began to realize something. The Luna¡¯s cruelty was not a reflection on me but on her. She was a deeply unhappy person, who took pleasure in making others suffer.


    And as Iy there in the darkness, I knew that I could not let her break me. I would continue to serve her to the best of my abilities, but I would not allow her to control me or make me afraid.


    In the end, the Luna¡¯s punishment only served to strengthen my resolve. I knew that I had to be strong if I wanted to survive in her pce, and I would do whatever it takes to stay true to myself and never give in to her cruelty.


    As Iy on the cold stone floor of the dungeon, my mind wandered to my older sister, who had once served as a maid in the pce before she was sent to the dungeon by the wicked Alpha Marcus.


    I remembered how she used to talk about the cruelty in the pce. She probably suffered the same fate as I had.


    The thought of my sister¡¯s suffering filled me with a deep sense of sadness and anger. How could someone be so heartless, so cruel, as to lock someone away in a dark, damp dungeon like this?


    But even as I raged against the injustice of it all, I knew that I had to keep my wits about me if I wanted to survive. I had to stay focused, stay strong, and not let the Luna break me.


    So I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to push my fear and anger aside. And as Iy there in the darkness, I vowed that I would make it out of this dungeon alive and that I would continue to fight for what was right, no matter the cost.


    After several days of being locked in the dungeon, I had lost all sense of time. I was hungry, thirsty, and desperate for human interaction.


    But then, I heard footsteps outside my cell. The door creaked open, and two guards stepped inside.


    ¡°Come with us,¡± one of them said gruffly. ¡°The Luna has decided to release you.¡±


    I could hardly believe my ears. After days of being locked away in the darkness, I was finally going to be set free.


    The guards led me up the stairs and through the winding corridors of the pce. I could feel the warmth of the sun on my face for the first time in what felt like ages, and I breathed in the fresh air with relief.


    When we finally reached the throne room, the Luna was waiting for me. She looked me up and down with a scowl as if I was nothing more than a piece of dirt on the bottom of her shoe.


    ¡°You are free to go,¡± she said icily. ¡°But if I catch you making another mistake, you¡¯ll find yourself right back in that cell,¡± she warned me.


    I didn¡¯t say anything. I just nodded my head and left the pce as quickly as I could. As I walked away, I felt a mix of emotions ¨C relief, fear, and anger all jumbled up inside me.


    But as I looked up at the blue sky overhead, I knew one thing for sure: I would never forget the cruelty of the Luna.


    Despite being released from the dungeon, the Luna continued to make my life miserable. She seemed to take pleasure in punishing me for every little mistake I made, and her insults and criticisms only grew crueler with each passing day.


    I tried my best to keep my head down and do my job as well as I could, but it seemed like nothing I did was ever good enough for her. She would berate me in front of the other staff members, humiliate me in public, and even go so far as to physically strike me when she was displeased.


    I felt trapped and alone in the pce. But even though the Luna¡¯s cruelty was unrelenting, I refused to let her break me. And so, even as the Luna¡¯s punishments grew more severe, I held my head high and kept working. I knew that I was doing the best I could and that one day, justice would prevail.


    Despite the hardships I had endured, I had managed to find happiness in my life. I looked forward to the day when I would hold my child in my arms, but then, tragedy struck. One day, as I was working in the pce, I began to feel a sharp pain in my stomach. I knew something was wrong, and I immediately sought out a doctor.


    The doctor confirmed my fears: I had suffered a miscarriage. My heart was broken, and I felt as if the world had been ripped out from under me.


    As Iy in my bed, wracked with pain and grief, I couldn¡¯t help but think about all the suffering I had endured in my life. The cruelty of the Luna, the constant punishments and humiliations ¨C it all seemed to pale inparison to the loss of my child.


    Even as I mourned the loss of my child, I continued to work in the pce, to serve the royal family to the best of my abilities. It was a difficult and painful time, but I knew that I had to keep moving forward, one step at a time.


    As Iy in my bed, still reeling from the shock of my miscarriage, I felt a deep sense of sadness wash over me. Tears streamed down my face as I thought about all that I had lost, all the hopes and dreams that had been shattered in an instant.


    I cried for my child, for the life that had been growing inside me, for the love that I had felt for my baby even before it was born. And I cried for myself, for the pain and the grief that seemed to weigh down my heart like a heavy stone.


    As Iy there, lost in my grief, I felt a hand on my shoulder.

 CHAPTER 37

    Amber¡¯s POV


    When I turned around, I saw Dale. He came with Jacob. They both looked at me apologetically but there was nothing they could do. She was a servant and under the direct supervision of Jacob¡¯s Luna. Dale did not say anything but he probably heard about the miscarriage.


    I had been dreading this conversation with Dale for weeks. I knew that I had to tell him about the miscarriage, but I didn¡¯t know how he would react. But finally, the day came when we were alone together, and I knew that I had to tell him.


    ¡°Dale, I need to talk to you about something,¡± I said, my voice shaking.


    He looked at me with concern. ¡°What is it?¡±


    ¡°I¡­ I lost the baby,¡± I said, tears streaming down my face.


    For a moment, he didn¡¯t say anything. He just stared at me, his face a mask of shock and sadness. And then, finally, he spoke.


    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry,¡± he said, his voice barely above a whisper. ¡°I didn¡¯t even know that it would result in this,¡± he said, his voice full of regret.


    He was kind and sympathetic, and I could tell that he was genuinely upset by the news.


    For a moment, it felt like we had gone back in time, to a time when we were happy and in love. But then reality set in, and I knew that things could never be the same between us.


    We talked for a while longer, about the baby and about our past. And even though it was difficult, it felt like we were finally able to find some closure.


    In the end, I knew that I had to move on from Dale. Our time together had passed, and it was time for me to focus on my future without him, but I would always remember the love that Dale and I had shared, and the baby that we had lost.


    So I wiped away my tears and took a deep breath, ready to face whatevery ahead.


    After the loss of our child, I felt as if my world hade crashing down around me.


    When he came to visit me in the pce, I felt my heart leap with joy. It was a bittersweet moment, tinged with the pain of our loss, but also filled with the love and warmth that only he could bring.


    As we sat together in my small room, I felt a sense of peace wash over me. We talked for hours, about our hopes and dreams, about the challenges we had faced and the triumphs we had achieved, and as we held each other in a warm embrace, I knew that no matter what the future held, we would not be together again.


    ¡°Is there something that bothers you, Dale? If you are angry because I lost the baby, I am sorry. I know it¡¯s my fault, but what can I do? Things already happened,¡± I said, trying to me myself for everything that happened.


    ¡°Don¡¯t me yourself, Amber. I know what happened, and that¡¯s why I am here. This might be thest effort on my part to help you,¡± he said.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    ¡°You are aware of the circumstances of our world, and the strict social conventions would make it impossible for us to be together. My adoptive parents would not let us be together, Amber,¡± he exined.


    As a woman who was born with a low status of an omega, I knew what was going to happen. I was just being hopeless romantic in his mansion.


    ¡°What are you talking about, Dale?¡± I asked in disbelief why we had the painful conversation again.


    ¡°With a heavy heart, I had to talk to Jacob again about your wedding. He agreed so we are going to nd within the day,¡± he told me.


    I could tell it was not an easy decision, and I knew he was also hurting, but I also knew that it was the best thing for me. Being married to one of Jacob¡¯s brothers would be better than to remain a servant under the Luna.


    As he talked to me about the marriage ns, I could see the pain in his eyes, and I felt a pang of regret in my own heart. Why the hell do I love him so much? He was cruel and heartless, and yet, I could not make myself hate him.


    I tried to be nonchnt about it but I couldn¡¯t believe it when I heard the news directly from Dale. I was to be shipped off to the countryside to marry a man I barely knew, all because my birth was insignificant.


    At first, I was angry and resentful. How could he do this to me, force me to marry someone I didn¡¯t love?


    Later in the afternoon, Dale returned to inform me that we had to leave for nd, a small town a few hours away.


    I was nervous but as we drove through the countryside, I felt myself rxing. We stopped for lunch at a small diner, where we ate burgers and fries and talked about my wedding to Jacob¡¯s brother.


    As we drove through the winding roads of nd, I couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of wonder. Thendscape was rugged and beautiful, with dense forests and clear streams.


    In the end, our trip to nd was a turning point for me. It helped me to see that I could be happy without Dale, and that I could build a life for myself with other people.


    And even though I still loved Dale, I knew that I had to keep moving forward, to keep exploring the world and finding new experiences.


    We drove the rest of the way in silence, each lost in our own thoughts. But as we arrived at our destination and stepped out into the crisp, fresh air, I felt a sense of excitement and adventure. Whatever the weekend held in store for us, I knew that I was ready to face it head-on.


    When we arrived at our destination, I was surprised at how cozy and weing the people were especially my future mother-inw. Jacob had clearly put a lot of thought into making sure that we werefortable, and I was grateful for his efforts.


    ¡°I think you two would really hit it off,¡± Jacob said, grinning. ¡°Tom¡¯s a great guy. He¡¯s smart, funny, and he loves to travel.¡±


    I was a bit nervous about the whole thing, but I agreed to meet Tom for coffee. When he walked into the cafe, I was immediately struck by how handsome he was. He had dark hair and deep brown eyes, and he was wearing a sharp suit that made him look incredibly dashing.


    ¡°Hi, I am Tom, Nice to meet you,¡± he said while extending his hand for a handshake.


    ¡°You can call me, Amber. Nice to meet you, too.¡±


    ¡°I am d to have you as my future wife, Amber,¡± he said.


    ¡°Me, too,¡± I replied because what else could I say to him?


    ¡°What can you say about nd? Do you think you will love it here?¡± he asked.


    ¡°Yes. It certainly is beautiful. I love the rolling hills and the green fields. It¡¯s such a change from the concrete jungle of the city,¡± I told him, even if the view was not that different from the ce where I grew up.


    ¡°Yeah, there¡¯s something special about this ce. It¡¯s like time moves a little slower here, and you can really appreciate the simple things in life.¡±


    ¡°That sounds wonderful. I could definitely use some of that in my life,¡± I informed him, and then he narrowed his eyes at me.


    ¡°Well, I¡¯m d you¡¯re here. I think you¡¯re going to love it,¡± he stated.


    ¡°I already do, thank you,¡± I said.From N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°It¡¯s my pleasure. And who knows? Maybe we¡¯ll have a chance to explore the countryside a little more while you¡¯re here.¡±


    ¡°That would be great. I¡¯d love to see more of this beautiful ce!¡±


    ¡°How about dinner tonight?¡±


    When he asked, I nced at Jacob and Dale, but they seemed to be minding their own business. My heart sank when I realized that Dale no longer cared about me.


    ¡°What time are we leaving for dinner?¡± I asked.


    ¡°In a few minutes,¡± he replied.


    ¡°What about them?¡± I asked while referring to Jacob and Dale.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. My mother would prepare a feast for them, and my brother would surely keep thempany,¡± he answered.


    ¡°You have another brother?¡± I asked because I had no idea.


    ¡°Yes. His name is Stefan, but he¡¯s busy,¡± Tom replied.


    So, just like what he said, he informed everyone he would treat me to a sumptuous dinner in town. Jacob and Dale did not object. When Tom held my hand, I just let him. After all, we would get married in a few days.


    We drove for hours through winding roads and rolling hills, and I felt my spirits lifting with each passing mile. When we finally arrived at a farmhouse with a restaurant, I was struck by how peaceful and idyllic the setting was.


    As the sun began to set, Tom suggested that we have dinner outside on the terrace. He had asked the in charge to set up a table with candles and a bottle of wine, and I felt a thrill of excitement as I took my seat.


    Over the course of the meal, we talked about everything under the sun, from our favorite books to our hopes and dreams for the future. I felt myself rxing in his presence, and I found myselfughing and joking in a way that I hadn¡¯t in a long time.


    As we finished up our meal, Tom leaned in and kissed me. It was sweet and tender, and I felt a rush of emotion as our lips met. It was fast, but I didn¡¯t n to y hard to get it. After all, he would be my husband in a few days.


    I just smiled at him.


    After dinner, he told me that we should explore the rest of nd. After all, the moon was bright and illuminating the dark night. I agreed because it was another way of getting to know each other better, and by the time we returned to his mother¡¯s ce, I knew without a doubt that my life in nd would be a lot better.


    Before retiring for the evening, Tom proposed about having coffee on the terrace. As we sipped ourttes and chatted, the conversation turned to our future together.


    ¡°So,¡± Tom said, ¡°have you given any thought to our wedding?¡±


    I nearly choked on my coffee. ¡°Our wedding?¡± I repeated, feeling a little flustered.


    ¡°Yeah, you know, the big day,¡± he said with a smile. ¡°I¡¯ve been thinking about it a lottely. I know it¡¯s still a ways off, but I want to start nning now so that we can have the perfect day.¡±


    I took a deep breath and tried to steady my nerves.


    ¡°I¡­ I haven¡¯t really thought about it much,¡± I admitted. ¡°I mean, I know that the wedding was set in a few days, but I haven¡¯t really given much thought to the wedding itself.¡±


    ¡°Well, that¡¯s okay,¡± Tom said reassuringly.


    I smiled at the thought. It sounded perfect. ¡°That sounds wonderful,¡± I said. ¡°But what about the reception? What kind of food and music do you think will be yed?¡±


    Tom grinned. ¡°I¡¯ve got that all figured out too. I was thinking we could have a big barbecue, with all our favorite foods after the ceremony. And for music, we hired a live band to y all our favorite songs.¡±


    I couldn¡¯t help butugh.


    ¡°You really have been thinking about this, haven¡¯t you?¡±


    Tom shrugged. ¡°What can I say? I¡¯m a nner. And I want our wedding to be perfect. After all, it¡¯s not every day you get to marry someone as beautiful as you,¡± he imed.


    When I heard his statement, I wondered if he had seen me before or if he was being superficial. Nevertheless, I did not voice out my concern that has trying so hard to be kind.


    ¡°I can¡¯t wait to spend the rest of my life with you,¡± he stated, and somehow his statement made me flustered.


    Tom was kind and gentle, and he treated me with respect and dignity. He didn¡¯t force himself on me, or treat me like a possession to be owned and controlled. Instead, he showed me love and affection, and I began to see that maybe this marriage wasn¡¯t so bad after all.


    And as I looked around me, at the rolling hills and the quiet viges, I realized that there was a certain peace and tranquility in this simple way of life. I didn¡¯t have the luxuries and theforts of my old life, but I had something even more valuable: a sense of purpose and belonging.


    In time, I came to like Tom. It wasn¡¯t what I had nned or expected, but he was not that bad after all.


    It wasn¡¯t an easy decision, but I knew that it was the right one. I had to forget about my first love and focus on the man I was engaged to marry.


    At first, it was hard. Every time I saw or heard from my first love, my heart would ache with longing and regret. I couldn¡¯t help but wonder what might have been if things had been different.


    But as I spent more time with my fianc¨¦, I began to see all the wonderful things about him that I had been overlooking before. He was kind, and caring, and he loved me in his own way. He had a good heart, and I knew that he would be a good husband and father one day.


    And so, slowly but surely, I began to let go of my past and focus on my future. I poured all my energy and love into my rtionship with my fianc¨¦, and soon enough, I found that my heart was no longer torn in two.


    Of course, there were still moments when I thought about my first love, and I couldn¡¯t help but feel a twinge of sadness. But those moments grew fewer and farther between, until eventually, they disappeared altogether.


    And as I stood before my fianc¨¦ on our wedding day, I knew that I was making the right choice. I was choosing to love him andmit myself to a future with him, and I was at peace with that decision.


    As I walked down the aisle, the sun shining down on me and the birds singing in the trees, I couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of wonder and excitement. This was it: my grand wedding to a stranger in the countryside.


    It was a strange and surreal feeling, knowing that I was marrying someone I barely knew, someone who came from apletely different background and way of life than I did. But as I looked into his eyes, I saw something there that gave me hope andfort.


    He was kind and gentle, with a quiet strength that I found reassuring. He didn¡¯t try to dominate or control me but instead listened to my opinions and treated me with respect. And as we exchanged our vows, I knew that I was making the right choice.


    The wedding itself was a grand affair, with family and friends from all over the countrysideing to celebrate our union. There was food and drink and music, and everyone seemed to be in high spirits.


    As the night wore on, and the stars came out overhead, my husband and I slipped away to our honeymoon cottage, nestled in the heart of the countryside. It was a small and cozy ce, but it felt like home to me.


    As we stepped inside, the room was filled with rose petals and candles, creating a romantic atmosphere that made my heart race. Tom took my hand and led me to the bed, where he gently pulled me into his arms. We looked into each other¡¯s eyes, both knowing what was about to happen.


    ¡°I love you, Amber,¡± Tom whispered, his breath warm against my skin.


    And then, he kissed me. It was a kiss filled with passion, love, and desire. As he deepened the kiss, our hands roamed over each other¡¯s bodies, exploring every inch of skin. I felt myself melting into his arms, lost in the pleasure of the moment.


    Eventually, we broke the kiss, both breathless and flushed with desire. We looked into each other¡¯s eyes, and I knew that this was just the beginning of our journey together as husband and wife.


    ¡°Are you happy, my love?¡± Tom asked, brushing a strand of hair from my face.


    ¡°I¡¯ve never been happier,¡± I replied, snuggling into his embrace.


    As we fell asleep in each other¡¯s arms, I knew that my life had been forever changed by this amazing man who had be my husband.

 CHAPTER 38

    Amber¡¯s POV


    In the days and weeks that followed, as we settled into married life, I found myself liking my husband more and more each day. He showed me a world that I had never known before, a world of simple pleasures and quiet joys.


    And as I looked back on my grand wedding, I realized that it was the start of something wonderful and new, a journey that would take us both to ces we had never imagined.


    But then, it seemed that the Moon Goddess did not want me to be happy. During the wedding, my heart was pounding with excitement and nerves, but as I got closer, I noticed someone standing next to Tom, someone I hadn¡¯t seen before.


    When I noticed their slight resemnce, I knew it was Tom¡¯s brother. As I looked into the man¡¯s eyes, I felt something stir inside me. He was tall, and handsome, with piercing blue eyes and a smile that made my heart almost skip a beat.


    We exchanged pleasantries, but as the wedding ceremony began, I couldn¡¯t help but steal nces at him. There was something about him that drew me in, that made me want to know him better, or it might be because he somehow reminded me of Dale. Everything about him reminded me of Dale Ramsay, especially his tattooed arms.


    I found myself gravitating toward him. We talked andughed and danced together, and I felt a connection growing between us. It was a dangerous game, falling for my husband¡¯s brother on my wedding day. But I couldn¡¯t help myself. He was everything my husband wasn¡¯t: he reminded me of Dale!


    Then, the time came when my husband and I had to go to our honeymoon cottage. When Tom started kissing me, I couldn¡¯t help but think of another man doing it with me. I imagined it was Dale who kissed me. I knew it was wrong but I couldn¡¯t help it.


    In the days and weeks that followed, I tried to push my feelings aside and focus on my husband. But every time I saw his brother, my heart would flutter with desire.


    It was a difficult situation and one that could only end in heartbreak. But I couldn¡¯t help the way I felt, and I knew that I had to make a choice: stay with my husband and try to make things work, or follow my heart and risk everything.


    It was a decision I would have to make, and one that would have far-reaching consequences. But for now, all I could do was try to push my feelings aside and focus on the life thaty ahead of me.


    It was a dangerous game I was ying, one that could have serious consequences. I was attracted to my husband¡¯s brother, Stefan, but I knew that giving in to my desires would be illegal and immoral.


    However, Stefan was a master in the art of seduction, and every time we were alone together, I felt the sparks fly. I tried my best to suppress my feelings, but it was getting harder and harder to resist his advances.


    It was a difficult conversation that I had been dreading for days. I knew that I needed to talk to Stefan about my feelings for him and how they were affecting my marriage to his brother, Tom.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    One day, when Tom was out of town, I asked Stefan toe into our home. I prepared coffee before his arrival, and as soon as he arrived, I told him to wait for me at the gazebo.


    As I sipped my coffee, I took a deep breath and began to speak.


    ¡°Stefan, I need to be honest with you,¡± I said, looking into his eyes. ¡°I¡¯m married now, and I need to focus on my rtionship with Tom. I can¡¯t continue to have these feelings for you, and I need you to stay away from me.¡±


    Stefan¡¯s face fell, and I could see the disappointment in his eyes. ¡°I understand, Amber,¡± he said softly. ¡°I¡¯ve always known that we could never be together in the way we wanted to be.¡±


    I felt a pang of sadness in my heart, but I knew that what I was doing was for the best. ¡°I¡¯m sorry if I¡¯ve hurt you,¡± I said, reaching across the table to take his hand. ¡°You¡¯re a wonderful person, and I value your friendship. But for the sake of my marriage, I need you to respect my wishes and stay away from me.¡±


    Stefan nodded, a small smile on his lips. ¡°I¡¯ll always be here for you, Amber,¡± he said. ¡°But I¡¯ll respect your decision. You deserve to be happy, and I want nothing more than for you to find that happiness with Tom.¡±


    As we parted ways, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. It wasn¡¯t easy to let go of my feelings for Stefan, but I knew that it was the right thing to do. I had to bemitted to my marriage, and I knew that I needed to focus on building a future with Tom.


    And although it was hard at times, I worked hard to keep my distance from Stefan, knowing that my marriage was worth the effort. In the end, my decision to stay faithful to Tom paid off, and we emerged stronger and moremitted than ever before.


    I didn¡¯t want to risk everything we had built together. But Stefan was relentless in his pursuit of me, and I found myself caught up in his web of desire.


    One night, we found ourselves alone in a secluded room. Stefan was more charming and irresistible than ever before, and I felt myself being swept away by his seductive powers.


    For a moment, I almost gave in to my desires. But then, I remembered my husband and the life we had built together. I couldn¡¯t betray him like this.


    With a heavy heart, I pushed Stefan away and fled from the room. It was a painful and difficult decision, but one that I knew was right.


    In the aftermath, things were tense between Stefan and me. He couldn¡¯t understand why I had turned him down, and I couldn¡¯t exin the depth of my feelings for my husband.


    But in the end, I knew that I had made the right choice.


    However, Tom found out about my affair with Stefan, and he was furious. He threatened me, telling me that if I didn¡¯t end things with his brother, he would ruin my life or the life of Dale Ramsay.


    ¡°How did you know about Dale and me?¡± I asked him in disbelief.


    ¡°Really, Amber? Did you really take me for a fool?¡±


    Then, heughed evilly.


    Tom¡¯s threats made things even more difficult. I didn¡¯t know what he was capable of, and I didn¡¯t want to find out.


    ¡°I know you are his whore beforeing here, and I was right. In no time at all, you found yourself attracted to Stefan because he reminded you of Dale, am I correct?¡±


    ¡°No, that is not true, Tom,¡± I lied.


    ¡°Liar!¡± he screamed before punching my stomach.

 CHAPTER 39

    Amber¡¯s POV


    I sat in our bedroom, tears streaming down my face, as I looked at the bruises on my arms. My husband, Tom, had lost his temper once again and taken it out on me. I had never felt so heartbroken and helpless in my entire life.


    I thought back to the day we got married, how happy and in love, he was with me. But now, it felt like a distant memory. Tom had changed over time, bing more and more abusive, but then it was all my fault. If only, I did not try to think of Stefan as Dale, then there wouldn¡¯t be a problem.


    Over and over again, I med myself for what happened to me, but then, I could not believe that Tom could be more violent. One day, when his mother came to visit, Tom forced me to appear sweet and happy, as if everything was fine in his household.


    To avoid more beating from my abusive husband, I did as I was told. I never dared to inform my mother-inw that her son was abusive, and has been maltreating me for several months already.


    Tom did not only abuse me physically but also sexually and psychologically. He was a mean bastard who enjoyed inflicting pain on my body. One day, when he left to attend to an important matter in ybourne, I was tempted to leave, but then he warned me not to do it, or Dale would greatly suffer from his wrath.


    As I sat there, feeling defeated and alone, I couldn¡¯t help but wonder if this was how my life was always going to be. But deep down, I knew I couldn¡¯t continue living like this. I had to find the courage to leave and start anew, even if it meant being alone, but how? I was trapped in the countryside, married to a mean bastard, and so alone?


    The sound of a knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. I hesitated, not sure if I should answer. But something inside me told me to go and see who it was. As I opened the door, I was shocked to see Dale, standing in front of me.


    At first, I couldn¡¯t find the words to say anything. It had been so long since west saw each other. But then, as he looked at me with concern, I couldn¡¯t help but break down in tears and tell him everything that had been going on.


    Dale listened intently, his expression growing angrier by the minute. He promised me that he would do everything in his power to help me, even if it meant putting himself in danger, but then, why would he do that? In the first ce, it was Dale who wanted me to get married to Tom.


    For the first time in a long time, I felt like I had someone on my side, someone who cared about me and wanted to protect me. And for that, I was grateful, but also, I was scared.


    ¡°Amber¡­,¡± he said, his voice soft and hesitant. ¡°What happened to you?¡± he asked as he immediately grabbed my wrist to check the bruises on my skin. ¡°Is that really you, Amber?¡± he asked because I looked different from thest time we saw each other.


    I managed to nod, my heart pounding in my chest. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me,¡± I said, feeling my voice catch in my throat. I probably looked horrible in his eyes and he even had to ask if he was talking to me or someone else.


    We stood there in silence for a few moments, just looking at each other. I could feel all the memories flooding back ¨C the long walks we took together, thete-night conversations, the stolen kisses.


    Finally, he spoke up.


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe he abused you like this! How long has it been since he¡¯s done this to you, Amber?¡±


    I shook my head, feeling a little disoriented. ¡°Too long,¡± I said. ¡°It¡¯s been so many months.¡±


    ¡°Are you saying that he immediately abused you right after the wedding?¡±


    ¡°Few weeks after the wedding,¡± I replied, and then I paused for a moment while trying to decide if I should be honest with Dale about Stefan. ¡°It¡¯s my fault, Dale,¡± I added, and he furrowed his brows in confusion.


    ¡°Howe it is your fault? You are the victim here, Amber!¡±


    ¡°I cheated on him,¡± I confessed the truth. Regardless if nothing sexual had happened between me and Stefan, the fact that I imagined Stefan as Dale Ramsay, would be considered as cheating nevertheless.


    ¡°You cheated on Tom Summers? How? And to whom?¡±


    ¡°With Stefan,¡± I replied.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    ¡°What? What are you talking about Amber? Did you really cheat on your husband with his brother? That¡¯s unforgivable!¡±


    ¡°I know that Dale, however, I couldn¡¯t stop myself from being drawn to him,¡± I mumbled.


    ¡°Why? Why did you have to cheat on Stefan?¡±


    ¡°Because he reminded me of you, Dale. I missed you so much but you are so far from me. I couldn¡¯t even call your phone just to hear your voice!¡±


    ¡°Still, we have nothing else to discuss. Whatever we shared in the past has already ended,¡± he stated.


    ¡°Then, why the hell did youe here? You should have stayed in ybourne for goodness sake!¡± I snapped at him because he was being impossible.


    ¡°Amber¡­,¡± he said, his voice serious. ¡°I have to tell you something.¡±


    ¡°What is it?¡± I asked, then I looked at him, feeling a sense of unease.


    He took a deep breath. ¡°I never stopped loving you, Amber,¡± he said, looking me straight in the eye. ¡°I know it¡¯s been a long time, but my feelings for you haven¡¯t changed.¡±


    I felt a wave of emotions wash over me ¨C surprise, confusion, and even a hint of anger. I couldn¡¯t believe he was telling me this now, after all this time.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know what to say,¡± I said, feeling my heart race. ¡°I¡¯m married now, and I can¡¯t just leave my husband for you.¡±


    He nodded slowly, looking a little defeated. ¡°I know,¡± he said. ¡°But I had to tell you how I feel. I¡¯ve regretted letting you go for so long, Amber.¡±


    We stood there in silence for a few moments, both of us lost in our own thoughts. I didn¡¯t know what to say to him, and I felt a sense of guilt creeping up inside me.


    Finally, he spoke up again. ¡°I understand if you don¡¯t feel the same way,¡± he said. ¡°But I just had to tell you how I feel. I never want to regret not telling you again.¡±


    I looked at him, feeling a mix of emotions. Part of me wanted to tell him that I still loved him too, but I knew that wasn¡¯t fair. So instead, I just nodded.


    ¡°Thank you for telling me,¡± I said


    When he showed up on my doorstep, I was so surprised because it was out of the blue. We hadn¡¯t spoken in months, not since he shipped me off to nd to marry Tom Summers, but Dale seemed different now. He was apologetic, and he seemed genuinely concerned for my well-being.


    ¡°You should leave now. Tom ising home anytime from now,¡± I informed him.


    ¡°Not without you, Amber. I regretted my decision of arranging your marriage to that bastard. Let¡¯s go home,¡± he said. ¡°We can live in the mansion, or in my vacation house.¡±


    He told me that he wanted to take me away, to a vacation house that he owned. He said that it would be good for me, that I needed to get away from my abusive husband.


    At first, I was hesitant. I didn¡¯t know if I could trust him, after everything that had happened between us, but Dale was persuasive. He promised that he wouldn¡¯t hurt me, that he just wanted to help me.


    And so, I agreed to go with him.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think this is a good idea, Dale. Why are you doing this?¡±


    ¡°Because I can¡¯t let another bastard abuse you,¡± he said.


    ¡°Tom is no different from you, Dale,¡± I reminded him of the time when he used to abuse me as well.


    ¡°I am better than that bastard!¡± he snapped.

 CHAPTER 40

    Amber¡¯s POV


    Dale and I drove up to his beachfront property in Bradfordshire, excited to spend some time away from the stresses of daily life. As we walked through the front door, I couldn¡¯t help but admire the stunning views of the ocean.


    The house was beautiful, withrge windows that let in plenty of natural light and a spacious living room that was perfect for rxing. Dale showed me around, pointing out all the different rooms and amenities, and I couldn¡¯t help but feel grateful for his generosity.


    We spent our days lounging on the beach, soaking up the sun, and enjoying each other¡¯spany. It was nice to finally have some quality time together, away from the chaos of our daily lives.


    One evening, we sat on the balcony, watching the sunset over the ocean. As we talked andughed, Dale leaned in and kissed me softly. It was a tender moment, and I couldn¡¯t help but feel happy and content.


    While we were watching the sunset over the horizon, I couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of peace and contentment wash over me. Dale was sitting next to me, his arm draped over my shoulder, and I felt safe and secure in his embrace.


    ¡°Thank you for bringing me here,¡± I said, breaking thefortable silence that had settled between us.


    Dale turned to me and smiled. ¡°Of course, my dear. Anything for you.¡±


    I felt my cheeks heat up at his words, and I looked away, suddenly feeling self-conscious.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry about earlier,¡± Dale said, his voice low and hesitant. ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have kissed you like that. It was wrong of me.¡±


    I turned to him, surprised by his words. ¡°No, Dale, it¡¯s okay,¡± I said, cing a hand on his arm. ¡°I wanted you to kiss me.¡±


    Dale¡¯s eyes widened in surprise, and then he smiled. ¡°In that case, can I kiss you again?¡±


    I nodded, feeling a rush of excitement and anticipation. And then, as the sun disappeared beneath the horizon, Dale leaned in and kissed me, his lips soft and gentle against mine.


    Then, he suggested we should head back to his room. As we made our way to Dale¡¯s bedroom, my heart was racing with anticipation. I knew what was about to happen, and I was both excited and nervous at the same time.


    Dale led me into the room and closed the door behind us, and then he turned to me and took me in his arms. He kissed me again, his lips pressing against mine with a hunger that left me breathless.


    We stumbled towards the bed, and then Dale lifted me up andid me down gently, his body pressed against mine. He kissed me again, and I felt his hands on my body, exploring me with tenderness and care that made my heart swell with love.


    At that moment, nothing else mattered. Not the worries and fears that had been haunting me for so long, not the pain and heartbreak I had suffered at the hands of my husband. All that mattered was the love I felt for Dale, and the pleasure and happiness he was bringing me at that moment.


    And as we made love, I felt myself surrenderingpletely to him, giving myself up to the passion and desire that consumed us both. It was like nothing else in the world existed, and all that mattered was the love that we shared, and the happiness that we were bringing each other at that moment.


    After we had satisfied each other¡¯s needs, Dale and Iy in bed together, our bodies entwined, and our hearts beating as one. I felt a sense of contentment and happiness wash over me as Iy there with him.


    ¡°Are you okay?¡± Dale asked me softly, running his fingers through my hair.


    I nodded, feeling a smile spread across my face.


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m more than okay,¡± I replied. ¡°Being with you like this is all I¡¯ve ever wanted.¡±


    Dale smiled back at me, his eyes shining with love.


    ¡°I feel the same way,¡± he said. ¡°Being with you is everything to me.¡±


    We talked for hours, sharing our hopes and dreams, our fears and insecurities. It felt like we were connected on a deep, spiritual level, and I knew that I never wanted to be apart from him again.


    As the night wore on, we fell asleep in each other¡¯s arms, our bodies intertwined and our hearts beating as one. I knew that I had found my soul mate in Dale, and I was grateful for every moment that I got to spend with him.


    For a moment, I forgot about everything else. All my worries and fears faded away, and I was lost in the moment, lost in the sweet embrace of Dale¡¯s arms. It was like nothing else in the world mattered, and I was content to just stay there, in his embrace, forever.


    But even as we enjoyed our time together, there was a nagging feeling at the back of my mind. The bruises on my arms reminded me of the reality of our situation, and I knew that I couldn¡¯t ignore them forever.


    As the days passed, I found myself growing more and more anxious about returning home. I didn¡¯t know how much longer I could keep up the facade, pretending that everything was okay when it wasn¡¯t, but for the moment, I pushed those thoughts aside and tried to enjoy the time I had with Dale, hoping that maybe things would get better in the future.


    Actually, I was taken aback by Dale¡¯s sudden show of kindness. After all, he was the same man who had threatened me and taken me away from my husband without his knowledge.


    The next morning, Dale and I sat down at the dining table for breakfast. As we ate, we talked about our ns for the day.


    ¡°So, what do you want to do today?¡± Dale asked me.


    I shrugged, smiling. ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± I said. ¡°Maybe we could go for a walk on the beach, or explore the town a little?¡±


    Dale nodded, looking thoughtful. ¡°That sounds like a good idea,¡± he said. ¡°But first, I wanted to talk to you about something.¡±


    I looked at him, feeling a sense of trepidation. ¡°What is it?¡± I asked.


    Dale took a deep breath, looking serious. ¡°I know that this is so sudden,¡± he said. ¡°But I wanted to tell you that I love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you.¡±From N?velDrama.Org.


    I felt my heart skip a beat, my eyes widening in surprise. ¡°What?¡± I said, my voice barely a whisper.


    Dale smiled, taking my hand in his. ¡°I mean it this time,¡± he said.


    I looked at him, feeling tears well up in my eyes. ¡°I love you too,¡± I said, my voice breaking with emotion. ¡°I want to be with you forever too.¡±


    But as I sat at the dinner table, savoring the delicious food he had prepared for me, I couldn¡¯t help but feel grateful for his hospitality.


    As we ate, Dale talked about his life in ybourne after I got married. He was talking a lot but I was not listening to him. I was focused on his face. He was so captivating, so alluring, and I could not help but feel a flutter in my chest every time he would smile at me.


    After breakfast, Dale took me outside and showed me the garden. As we walked, he reached out and took my hand, sending a shiver down my spine. And then, before I could even react, he leaned in and kissed me passionately.


    But then, as quickly as it had started, it was over. Dale pulled away, a sheepish grin on his face, and I was left standing there, wondering what had just happened.


    ¡°Is there something wrong?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Jacob told me to send you back to your husband. I am sorry, Amber. I will go to you again,¡± he said.

 CHAPTER 41

    Amber¡¯s POV


    As I returned to nd, I felt a deep sense of sadness and heartbreak. The memories of Dale¡¯stest betrayal in his vacation house lingered in my mind, and I struggled to find sce in the familiar surroundings of my home.


    Despite my pain, I threw myself into decorating the residence, determined to create a space that was both beautiful andforting even to someone like me. I spent long hours picking out furniture, choosing color schemes, and hanging artwork on the walls.


    While redecorating my home, I found the process of creating something new and beautiful was therapeutic. It gave me a sense of purpose and control, which I badly needed in the aftermath of Dale¡¯s betrayal.


    Gradually, the residence began to transform into a space that was uniquely mine. The walls were painted in warm, inviting colors, and the furniture was arranged in a way that made the rooms feel cozy and inviting.


    With each passing day, I felt myself growing stronger and more confident. Fortunately, Tom extended his business trip to ybourne and I had the ce all to myself. I knew that the wounds of my heartbreak would take time to heal but I was determined to move forward and create a life for myself that was filled with joy and love.


    Having a huge manor in the countryside helped me to be confident. People respected her because of her status and she liked it. In nd, she was not just an omega, born to be a servant or a whore to an Alpha.


    As I looked around at the beautiful home I had created, I knew that I was on the right path. No matter what the future held, I was ready to face it with strength, grace, and a heart that was full of hope.


    However, one day, a maid named Bethany arrived in nd, and I suspected that Dale sent her to spy on me, or to monitor my daily activities. One day, my mother-inw invited me to her ce to have dinner with the family.


    As soon as I arrived at my mother-inw¡¯s house, she greeted me with a warm smile and a tight embrace.


    ¡°Wee, my dear,¡± she said, ¡°it¡¯s been too long since we¡¯ve seen each other.¡±


    I returned the embrace and smiled back, feeling a bit nervous but also grateful for her warm wee.


    ¡°Thank you for having me,¡± I said, ¡°it¡¯s good to be here.¡±


    As we settled down in the living room, my mother-inw poured us some tea and we began to catch up. She asked me how things were going at home, and I told her about how I redecorated the entire manor to kill the time while my husband was away. Then, she asked me about my marriage to Tom and how things were between us. I hesitated for a moment, unsure of how much to share, but then decided to be honest.


    ¡°I have to admit, things have been a bit rocky between Tom and me,¡± I said, ¡°but we¡¯re working on it and trying to make things better.¡±


    My mother-inw listened attentively, then gave me some wise advice based on her own experience. We talked for hours, and by the end of the conversation, I felt like I had gained a new understanding of my husband and our rtionship. Of course, everything was superficial. I couldn¡¯t be totally honest with her.


    ¡°By the way, I heard you have a new maid. What can you tell me about her?¡±


    ¡°Ah, yes. Bethany. She¡¯s a good worker, very diligent and efficient. Jacob sent her here to learn a few things. She¡¯s been with us for a week now, and so far, she¡¯s been doing an excellent job.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s good to hear. I haven¡¯t had the chance to meet her yet. Do you think she¡¯ll be able to handle the workload here?¡±


    ¡°Oh, definitely. She has a lot of experience, and she¡¯s very hardworking. I¡¯m sure she¡¯ll be a valuable addition to our household staff.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m looking forward to meeting her. By the way, do you know anything else about her? Like her background or where she¡¯s from?¡±Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Not much, really. She¡¯s a private person, and I don¡¯t like to pry into my employees¡¯ personal lives. But from what I gather, she¡¯s a good person, and that¡¯s all that matters.¡±


    ¡°I see. Well, thank you for telling me about her. I¡¯ll make sure to introduce myself to her soon.¡±


    Speaking of the devil, a young woman walked toward us with a bright smile. I couldn¡¯t help but notice how stunning she looked. Her hair was neatly styled, and her makeup was wlessly done. She wore a fitted dress that showed off her curves, and her high heels made her even taller.


    ¡°Good morning, Madame,¡± she greeted me with a curtsy as if she was mocking me.


    ¡°You must be, Bethany. You look lovely today,¡± I replied, unable to hide my admiration.


    ¡°Thank you, Miss Amber. Is there anything I can assist you with?¡± she asked with a smile.


    ¡°No, thank you. I was just having a chat with my mother-inw here,¡± I replied, gesturing towards my mother-inw.


    ¡°I see. Well, I¡¯m here if you need anything,¡± she said before excusing herself.


    As she walked away, I couldn¡¯t help but feel a little envious of her beauty and elegance.


    ¡°She¡¯s pretty,¡± I remarked, and my mother-inw nodded.


    I couldn¡¯t shake off the feeling that Bethany was not just an ordinary maid. I was too observant for my own good, and I was suspicious about Bethany. To know more about the maid, I decided to invite her to my ce for tea.


    As Bethany gracefully epted my invitation, I couldn¡¯t help but admire her poise and elegance as she walked towards the tea table. I offered her a seat and poured a cup of tea for her.


    ¡°So, Bethany, tell me about yourself,¡± I said, trying to make small talk.


    Bethany smiled and began to share her story. She spoke about her life beforeing to nd and how she ended up working as a maid. I listened intently, finding myself drawn to Bethany¡¯s gentle voice and warm personality.


    As we continued to chat, I couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of kinship with Bethany. I couldn¡¯t see that the woman had a kind heart and a strong will, just like me. In a way, I felt like we were kindred spirits.


    As we finished our tea, I couldn¡¯t help but feel grateful for this chance encounter. I had made a new friend, and I couldn¡¯t wait to know Bethany better.


    Still, I couldn¡¯t help but feel suspicious of Bethany¡¯s presence, so I decided to confront her. We were alone in the drawing room, and I asked her if she was sent by Dale to spy on me.


    ¡°Bethany, I have to ask you something. Were you sent here by Dale to spy on me?¡± I asked and she was surprised.

 CHAPTER 42

    Amber¡¯s POV


    To my surprise, Bethany denied it and told me that she came to nd to work as per instruction by Jacob. As the conversation progressed, I began to see her as a friend rather than a spy. We exchanged stories andughed about ourmon interests. I realized that I had misjudged her and was d that I gave her a chance to exin herself.


    From that day on, Bethany became my confidant, and we spent time together whenever we could. She was kind, albeit, I could sense a little bit of stubbornness in the way she glowered her eyes toward Stefan whenever nobody was watching.


    Because of Bethany, Stefan did not bother me anymore. He totally shifted his interest to their beautiful maid. When learned that Bethany was closed to Dale, I decided to do something naughty by using Stefan. The art of flirting and seduction was not new to me as I was trained to seduce the Alpha.


    However, before Dale could learn about my naughty tricks with Stefan, Jacob learned first about Stefan¡¯s interest in Bethany. It turned out that Bethany was one of Jacob¡¯s mistresses, and I couldn¡¯t help but feel a pang of jealousy, because Jacob seemed to truly care about Bethany.


    With Jacob¡¯s arrival in nd, I expected Dale to alsoe but he didn¡¯te this time. Then, I was invited to dine with them because I was part of their family now. I had no idea what¡¯s going on but as soon as I arrived at the manor that belonged to my mother inw, Jacob immediately led me to the dining area.


    Then, I couldn¡¯t help but notice how elegant the room looked. The long table was set with fine china and silverware, and the soft glow of the candles added to the ambiance.


    I took my seat at the table, and Jacob sat across from me. As we waited for the food to be served, he engaged me in small talk, asking about my hobbies and interests.


    Just then, Bethany entered the room carrying a tray of appetizers. She looked stunning in her simple yet elegant dress, and I couldn¡¯t help but feel a twinge of jealousy.


    As the dinner progressed, I found myself getting lost in conversation with Jacob. He was charming and intelligent¡­just like Dale.


    As I sat down at the dinner table with Jacob, Stefan, and his mother, we exchanged pleasantries and small talk.


    ¡°So, Amber, how has nd been treating you?¡± Jacob asked, taking a sip of his wine.


    ¡°It¡¯s been good, thank you. I¡¯ve been busy decorating the residence,¡± I replied.


    ¡°That¡¯s great to hear. And how is your husband doing?¡± Stefan¡¯s mother inquired.


    I hesitated for a moment before answering, ¡°He¡¯s been busy with work, as usual.¡±


    Stefan interjected, ¡°And how about you, Amber? Have you been keeping yourself busy?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve been trying to. I¡¯ve been spending time with Bethany, the new maid,¡± I said, trying to steer the conversation away from my personal life.


    ¡°Ah, yes. Bethany,¡± Jacob said, ncing at Stefan. ¡°She seems like a nice girl.¡±


    Stefan nodded in agreement, but I could sense tension between them. I wondered if there was something I was missing.


    The rest of the dinner was uneventful, but I couldn¡¯t shake off the feeling that there was something going on between Jacob and Stefan.


    As we finished our dessert, Jacob suddenly excused himself, leaving me alone with Bethany. She looked at me with a serious expression, and I couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of dread.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± I asked her, my voice barely above a whisper.


    ¡°You need to be careful,¡± she said, her eyes darting around the room. ¡°There are people here who don¡¯t have your best interests at heart.¡±


    Then, I was greatly surprised when Stefan expressed his interest in Bethany during dinner. I tried to hide my emotions, but deep down I felt a twinge of jealousy. I knew that I had no right to be jealous, but I couldn¡¯t help it.


    Bethany, on the other hand, seemed taken aback by Stefan¡¯s interest. She stuttered and blushed, and for a moment, I thought that she was going to faint.


    Jacob, who was sitting next to Stefan, couldn¡¯t help but chuckle. ¡±


    Looks like you havepetition, Stefan,¡± he stated while subtly referring to him as thepetitor.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    Stefan, who seemed unfazed by Jacob¡¯s remark, turned to Bethany and said, ¡°Would you like to go out with me sometime, Bethany?¡±


    Bethany, who was still blushing, nodded her head, and Stefan beamed with delight.


    I couldn¡¯t believe what Stefan just said. My heart started pounding fast as I looked at Bethany, who seemed to be taken aback as well. I didn¡¯t know how to react, and for a moment, the room was filled with silence.


    Finally, Jacob spoke up, ¡°Stefan, are you serious? You know that Bethany is a maid here, and she works for me!¡±


    Stefan nodded, ¡°I know that, but I can¡¯t help how I feel.¡±


    Bethany looked at me as if asking for permission. I didn¡¯t know what to say, but I managed to nod my head, trying to hide my feelings.


    Jacob spoke again, ¡°I think that¡¯s enough for tonight. Let¡¯s finish our dinner and retire for the night.¡±


    After dinner, Jacob offered to take me home. As we walked towards the car, Jacob asked me how I was feeling about Stefan¡¯s interest in Bethany. I couldn¡¯t deny that it bothered me, but I also didn¡¯t want to seem too invested.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know, Jacob. It¡¯s just strange to me. I mean, I barely know Bethany, and now Stefan is interested in her? It just seems sudden,¡± I said, trying to keep my voice steady.


    Jacob nodded, ¡°I understand why you feel that way, but maybe it¡¯s just a coincidence. Besides, if Stefan does pursue Bethany, it doesn¡¯t have to affect you in any way.¡±


    I smiled, grateful for Jacob¡¯s level-headedness. ¡°You¡¯re right, Jacob. I shouldn¡¯t let it bother me too much.¡±


    As we got into the car, I couldn¡¯t help but wonder if Jacob was right or if there was more to Stefan¡¯s sudden interest in Bethany.


    Then, Jacob started the engine, and I choose to be silent while we traveled toward my home. Fortunately, it was Jacob who offered to take me home, because Tom was waiting, and he looked furious upon seeing me disembark from a car. He only rxed his expression when he saw that it was Jacob behind the steering wheel.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t mean to make you worry,¡± I said to Tom as I stepped out of Jacob¡¯s car and approached him.


    ¡°You¡¯re sorry? That¡¯s all you have to say after disappearing like that?¡± Tom¡¯s voice was harsh, and I could see the anger in his eyes.


    ¡°Your mother just invited me for dinner,¡± I exined, trying to diffuse the situation.


    ¡°Dinner? With Jacob?¡± Tom¡¯s voice was rising, and I could feel my own frustration mounting.


    ¡°Jacob is your brother, Tom,¡± I said firmly. ¡°He was just kind to drive me back home.¡±


    ¡°Well, I¡¯m your husband, Amber. You should be talking to me,¡± Tom said, his voice softening slightly.


    ¡°I know,¡± I said, feeling guilty. ¡°I just didn¡¯t want to burden you with my problems.¡±


    ¡°Amber, you can always talk to me. We¡¯re in this together,¡± Tom said, taking my hand. ¡°But you can¡¯t just disappear like that without letting me know. I was worried sick.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± I said again, feeling tears prickling at the corners of my eyes. ¡°I promise I won¡¯t do it again.¡±


    ¡°What did you say?¡± he asked angrily, and then he pped me.


    I tried to exin to Tom that Jacob was just being a gentleman and taking me home, but he wouldn¡¯t listen. He kept on using me of cheating on him, even though I tried to convince him otherwise.


    As the argument escted, Tom¡¯s anger grew, and he started to get physical with me. He grabbed me by the arms and shook me, screaming in my face. I could feel the tears streaming down my face as he continued to yell and use me.


    Finally, he punched me in the face, and I fell to the ground. I was in so much pain, and I could feel blood running down my nose. Tom didn¡¯t stop there; he kept hitting me, and I felt like I was going to die.


    When he finally stopped, Iy there, battered and bruised, wondering what I had done to deserve such treatment. Tom walked out of the room without a word, leaving me alone and in pain.

 CHAPTER 43

    Amber¡¯s POV


    I was frightened when Tom became physical with me. He seemed so angry and I didn¡¯t know how to calm him down. I could feel his tense energy radiating off him like a wave.


    One morning, while I was preparing for his meal, he suddenly came into the kitchen and grabbed my wrist. Then, his grip on my arm tightened, making me wince in pain. He didn¡¯t say anything for a while, and I could feel his anger building up inside him.


    When he finally spoke, his voice was low and menacing. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t have done that,¡± he growled.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± I whispered, hoping to calm him down. But it only seemed to make him angrier.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to hear your apologies,¡± he spat. ¡°You know what you did, and you¡¯re going to pay for it!¡±


    Tears welled up in my eyes as I tried to pull away from him, but his grip on me was too strong. I knew I was in trouble, and I didn¡¯t know how to get out of it. Then, he dragged me through my hair, from the kitchen, up to the living room.


    Tom pushed me roughly inside and threw me onto the couch. He paced back and forth, muttering to himself in anger. I was terrified, not knowing what he was going to do next.


    Finally, he turned to me with a sneer on his face. ¡°You¡¯re going to regret what you did,¡± he said before punching the wall next to me.


    I flinched, hoping he wouldn¡¯t hit me next. But then, he abruptly left the room without another word, leaving me there alone and trembling with fear. Just like every time he would get physical with me, he would just leave after the deed.


    I was devastated when Tom became enraged with me. It seemed like everything I did was wrong in his eyes. He would be angry over the smallest things, and his temper was bing increasingly violent. I felt trapped and suffocated in our home, unable to leave or express my feelings.


    I couldn¡¯t help but wonder if I had made the right decision in marrying him. Despite his wealth and status, I was miserable and constantly walking on eggshells around him. I didn¡¯t want to live my life in fear of my own husband.


    I knew that I needed to find a way out of this situation, but I didn¡¯t know how. I felt like I had no one to turn to and nowhere to go.


    But then, I was so surprised to see Dale outside the gate, and my heart was pounding fast. I knew that my husband, Tom, would not be happy about it. However, I couldn¡¯t help but feel relieved to see Dale, the man who had always been there for me.


    I tried to hide the fact that I saw Dale outside our home, but someone probably saw him loitering in the vicinity and informed Tom about it. As soon as Tom learned about Dale¡¯s arrival, he became even more furious. He used me of calling Dale and inviting him to nd. I tried to exin that I had no idea about his visit, but Tom wouldn¡¯t listen to me.


    One day, Dale managed to enter our home without anyone noticing him. He was shocked to see me in such a miserable state, but he should have expected it. After all, the man I married was just a stranger.


    Dale and I talked in private, and he could see how miserable and scared I was. He told me that he would do everything he could to help me and that I didn¡¯t have to be afraid anymore. His words gave me a glimmer of hope, and I felt a little bit better.


    However, when Tom found out that Dale and I talked, he flew into a rage. I had no idea there were several cameras inside our home, monitoring my every movement. He used me of cheating on him with Dale and beat me again. I was so scared and hopeless, and I didn¡¯t know what to do.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    Despite everything, I knew that I had to be strong and keep fighting while waiting for Dale toe again and rescue me from Tom Summers.


    ¡°Tom, I didn¡¯t call Dale for help,¡± I said firmly, trying to stay calm despite the usations.


    ¡°I don¡¯t believe you,¡± he spat back at me, his face twisted in anger. ¡°You¡¯re always sneaking around, talking to my brothers or any other man behind my back.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s not true,¡± I protested. ¡°I haven¡¯t seen any of your brothers in weeks.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t care,¡± he growled, stepping closer to me. ¡°You¡¯re lying to me, Amber. I know you¡¯re up to something.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not lying,¡± I said, feeling a knot form in my stomach. ¡°I haven¡¯t talked to Dale or anyone else.¡±


    Tom red at me for a few more seconds before finally turning and storming out of the room. When he returned, there was a bullwhip on his hand. My hands trembled as I saw it with my eyes. I have already experienced the pain from his bullwhip, and I did not want to go through it ever again.


    ¡°No, Tom, please don¡¯t hit ¨C ¡±


    I was not able to finish my sentence when the tail of his bullwhip already touched my skin. I winced in pain, but it seemed he was enjoying inflicting pain on me. Heughed while he continued tosh at my skin.


    I screamed in pain but he was deaf to my request. He just went on hitting me, until I was weak enough to dodge his every attack. With the current downpour outside, even if I would scream, nobody would hear me, and even if somebody would hear me, no one would give a damn.


    Nobody was brave enough to go against Tom Summers in nd. Almost everyone knew he was abusing me, but no one dared to call him out for his violence. With eachsh, I became hopeless. Tears welled up in the corner of my eyes, but they refused to leave my eyes yet.


    ¡°Stop it, Tom Summers!¡±


    Someone shouted and stopped Tom fromshing into my skin again. My body was so weak from the beating that I got from him, that I almost failed to recognize Dale in his ck hoodie. His hair was drenched so he probably came in a hurry, knowing that Tom would not waste another minute hurting me.


    I was overjoyed when Dale arrived. His presence brought me hope andfort amidst the difficult situation with my husband. I had been feeling trapped and alone, with no one to turn to for help. But now, with Dale by my side, I felt like I had a lifeline to cling onto.


    For the first time in a long time, I felt like I had someone who would stand up for me and protect me from harm. Dale¡¯s visit gave me the strength and courage to confront Tom and demand that he stop hurting me.


    Dale saw red and almost killed my husband with his bare hands. Without any preamble, he took me away, and warned my husband not to look for me, or it would mean his death.


    My heart almost leaped out of my chest when Dale rescued me once again but I wished he came sooner. I had already suffered enough at the hands of my husband.


    I was so happy when he arrived to save me. My heart leaped with joy as I saw himing towards me. I had been waiting for what felt like an eternity, hoping and praying that he woulde to my rescue.


    As he approached, I couldn¡¯t help but smile from ear to ear. It was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders and all of my worries had vanished. I felt safe and protected in his presence.


    When he finally reached me, I threw my arms around him and held on tight. I couldn¡¯t believe that he hade all this way just to save me. It was the happiest moment of my life, and I knew that I would always be grateful to him for rescuing me from danger.


    ¡°Thank you so much foring to save me. I was so scared, Dale,¡± I cried in front of him.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m here now. Are you okay?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m okay. I was just really scared and I didn¡¯t know what to do.¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to be scared anymore. I¡¯m here to take care of you, Amber,¡± he said.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know how to thank you,¡± I told him.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to thank me. I¡¯m just d that I could help you, after all, partly, this is my fault,¡± he owned up to his mistake.


    ¡°I was afraid I would never see you again. I thought he would kill me!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ll always see me again. I promise.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m so d you came. You¡¯re my hero. You have always been my hero, Dale.¡±


    ¡°I just did what I had to do.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re more than a hero to me. You¡¯re my everything,¡± I told him but he chose to be silent for a moment. When he opened his mouth to speak, I thought he would just tell me something so nd.


    ¡°And you¡¯re everything to me too. Let¡¯s get out of here and go home.¡±

    I was stunned. I had never thought of him dering his feelings that fast.


    ¡°I love you too,¡± I said, my heart pounding in my chest.


    He smiled, and the tension melted away between us. We sat there for a while longer, talking about our feelings and what it all meant.
