ZaneFuck! Amanda was an Alpha! Amanda was a freaking Alpha! That was not something I expected and seeing her looking so beautiful and serene had me wondering where exactly I had missed it. I wouldn’t say it was from the time she was staying with me, far from it or from the time I had treated her badly but truth be told, I had seen something very special in Amanda right from the first time I told her that I wanted to be with her.“What happened out there?” Tiana asked, waddling in like the shapeless frog she was.I had a mind to just walk out on her but I know that would be plain rude even though I knew she didn’t deserve my niceness when in fact she had been a demon ever since I got married to her. In fact, she hadn’t allowed me to have a semblance of rest, disturbing and giving me sleepless nights. Now, seeing her here, standing like a shapeless sack of grains, told me that I had made a terrible mistake in mating her.“Nothing,” I said.I decided at the last minute not to tell her w
Amanda I got back to the temporary lodge my entourage had already prepared for the duration of our stay here and I had to confess, they really did a number toward ensuring that I had a pleasant stay in this godforsaken place. Now, it was time for business and I wasn't going to slack when it came to this. If there was one thing I knew, it was that this was the time for me to show Zane and his pack that I wasn't a push over and I would never be.“Everyone, take some rest. We will converge at the central hall in an hour so that we can discuss our agenda for the day.” I ordered.There were collective nods of head and greetings even as they all retired for the night. Seeing my pack members all united by this had me smiling so much that all I could feel in my heart at that moment was the love I had for each of them. They had stuck with me for a long time, weathering the storm with me without complaining and now, they were here with me even though this wasn’t really their business.“Alpha,
Amanda“With all due respect, Alpha, it's a capital No!” Alex barked the last word out.I could see the anger in his words, the anger in his eyes when he spoke. Personally, he knew everything that had happened to me when I was still with Zane and it was his anger that reflected in every of his words he spoke. I for one knew that he would never allow this to happen because he knew how evil Zane could be and if this fell on his hands, he could bring total destruction to the kingdom.Several murmurs of agreement rang out while others remained silent. With Alex being one of the most vocal members of the pack, it wasn’t a surprise that he easily garnered support from those present.“Going by the pack’s history and the Alpha in charge, it's safe to say that they aren’t deserving of the Crystal heart. Alpha Zane has been known to be a heartless, cruel and callous man who doesn’t care about his people. I am not in support of this, Alpha.” He finished.I nodded, silently thanking him for his c
Zane.Anger, fear, and shock radiated through me as I walked around mindlessly. I didn’t even know what to think of as I stared at some of the maids doing their jobs. There were times when I had wished that I would be the greatest Alpha to ever live but apparently, that wasn’t going to be possible because my enemies were at work and if there was one thing I knew, it was that they would never see me rise to become that. They had chosen this specific day and time to strike, knowing that my forces were at the weakest at this point.It wasn’t fair but when it came to the way we lived, life wasn’t fair at all. You either win some or you lose some and if there is one thing I wouldn't be doing, it was losing. I was going to make sure I got them, every single last one of them that even thought they could destroy everything I had worked so hard to build. Never, I was never going to allow that.“Alpha.” A voice interrupted my thoughts.I turned toward the direction of the voice to see that it w
AmandaAn hour earlier.As I paced back and forth within the pack house, my mind racing with ideas on how to deal with the ever-challenging Alpha Zane, I turned to my Beta, Alex. With a sigh, I turned to him, frustration evident in my voice. "We need to do something about Zane. I hate that he has this demand above us and I'm worried about the pack."Alex leaned back in his chair, a thoughtful expression crossing his face. "I've been thinking about that too, Amanda. Maybe it's time we put our heads together and come up with a plan."I nodded eagerly, grateful for his support. "What do you suggest? We can't just confront him directly. That never ends well."A mischievous glint appeared in Alex's eyes, and he flashed me a sly grin. "What if we test him, just like you said but with a different method? See if he's truly changed his ways?"I raised an eyebrow, intrigued by his suggestion. "Go on.""Well," Alex began, tapping his fingers on the desk as he organized his thoughts. "What if we
ZaneTime was running out, that was all I could say. Things were becoming tighter and tougher with every day that passed and soon, I knew that if things continued this way, I would have no power over my own pack. The enemies were advancing and soon, they would take over everything. It was only a matter of time, and I needed to act fast. At this point, I didn't even care about the test that Amanda wanted to put me through. I was fully ready to do it if it meant saving my pack.If there was one thing I hated, it was to lose the respect of my pack members simply because I couldn't take care of them. I would become a total pushover, an insult. And if there was one thing I hated more than every other thing, it was the fact that I wouldn't be able to have any say in the affairs of my pack.“What has got you so tense?” Tiana asked, waddling in.One could hardly tell if she was pregnant or not but I knew she wasn’t. For years, we have been trying for a child but it just wasn’t working. I did
Amanda “Alpha,” one of my guards said, walking into my chambers.I looked up from the scroll I had received from my daughter, her scrawny handwriting making me smile. I couldn’t deny the fact that I had missed her terribly and I couldn't wait for all these to be done so I could go back to her and hug her.“Yes?” I said, placing down the scroll.“This is just a report. Sarah has successfully infiltrated the Blue Heart Pack.” He declared.“Oh wow, that fast? That’s good news.” “Yes Alpha, and I am assured that she would do excellently well because she knows what is at stake.”“Thank you for your words. What is your name?”I always made it a duty to know the names of my subjects. Knowing their names helped me to have a relationship with them and not just the Alpha-guard relationship. I believed in drawing them closer because it was through this that I could even gain their trust all the more.“Raphael, Alpha. My name is Raphael.” He smiled.I could see that he was happy. No doubt, he h
Amanda“Any news on Sarah yet?” I asked.It's been almost a week since we sent her to the Blue Heart Pack and we haven’t heard anything from her yet. I was beginning to get worried because I didn't know if she was alive and well and there was no way of finding out without exposing ourselves and the plans we have already set in motion.“You look worried.”I turned toward the direction of the voice and realized that it was Alex. There was also a worried look in his eyes because of the way I looked also. My plan wasn’t to have him worried but I couldn't help but feel that especially since we had sent that poor girl into the lion’s den. If anything were to ever happen to her, I would never be able to forgive myself because I had willingly allowed her to go into it.“Is it about Sarah?” He asked.I nodded, my mouth too heavy to say what I had in mind. Everything was getting so tense up that I didn't even know where to put a finger and what to even think of. I hated the fact that I was this
