Chapter 24: Chapter 24

Amber’s POV

.

“Ooouuchhhh”, He winched when I accidentally pressed my arms around his wound.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry”, I apologized, quickly removing my hand and examining his wound.

“Tell me how this wound is going to heal because it hurts like bitch.”

“Oh, yeah! You have to accept me as your mate.”, I whispered, not knowing how would he react.

“Okay, so what I will have to say to accept you?”,

“You..you really want me to accept me as your mate? I mean your partner.”

“Do you have any doubts in your mind?”

I averted my gaze, feeling shy all of the sudden. Well, who wouldn’t? He was giving me naughty smile. “Just repeat these words, ‘I, Alexander Stone, accepts Amber Lighthood as my mate.”, I said to change the topic.

He kept his index finger and lifted my head, making sure that when he would repeat those words then I would be looking into his as if he wanted to prove something, prove his sincerity toward this relation.“I, Alexander Stone, accepts Amber Lighthood as my mate.”, He repeated after me and I felt a strong pull, like an invisible line pulling Alex and me together. Something like an invisible chord. Finally, the mate bond was complete. I checked my mark on his shoulder, finally taking a proper shape and soon my mark will appear over like a permanent tattoo.

“So, where were we?”, He started before asking the same question again. “Do you have any doubts in your mind?”

Now that we were bonded, I could feel his emotions a lot easier than before. Though I didn’t have any doubt earlier but now after feeling his love for me, there was no room for any kind of doubt.

“Let me clear your doubt then.”, Saying this, he grabbed my waist, pulling me closer to him, and softly kissed on my lips.

My very first kiss after marking my mate.

I melted against his stronghold as I felt my body combust into flames. I expected his kiss to be a lot rougher than this but it was nothing like that. Alex kissed me soft and slow, almost as though he was savoring the taste of me. He gave a small satisfied sound in the back of his throat and I would be lying if I said it didn’t make me want him more He demanded entrance into my mouth and I let him have his way. His tongue plunged in and tangled with my own. He was taking all that I could offer and more. He glided his hands up my waist and lightly grazed my breasts.

I shivered at the intensity of it. A soft moan escaped my mouth before I could stop myself.

Alex finally broke the kiss and leaned his forehead against mine. “Please don’t shiver in my arms while you make those sweet moans. It makes me want to fuck you right now.”

My cheeks burned with embarrassment.

“Is your doubt solved or do you want some more proofs?”, He teased me. I was sure that I was all red by then. He gently cupped my cheeks in his hands, his lips inches away from me. “I want to kiss you again, and again and again and again.”, he whispered hoarsely. “I want to kiss every single part of your body until you’re crying out my name and begging me for release.”

I gasped. “A...Alex”

I heard someone’s heels sound approaching the room and at the same time, Alex leaned toward me to kiss me again.

“Stop! Someone’s coming.”, I whispered, placing my palm over his lips. He looked at me in confusion but soon I guess, he understood how did I know that but before we could have gotten a chance to maintain some distance between us, the door was wide open.

I would have been reminded about manners to knock on the door before entering the room but kept my mouth shut when I saw Marcus coming inside the room, worriedly.

‘Is he worried for his brother?’, I thought.

****

Alexander’s POV

.

I found my brother looking at me with worried eyes. It was unlike him to look that way because he’s kind of those men who rarely gets serious or worried. For example, he would have been teased me observing Amber and me standing so close.

And if he would have been worried for me then his expression would have changed after landing his eyes on me.

“Is everything all right?”, I asked.

“We need to talk right now!”, He responded, nodding his head. “Away for this dog.”

Immediately I felt a strong wave of anger, but that anger was not mine. I looked at Amber who was trying to control her anger.

Wow! I didn’t know that something like this could happen after getting marked by a do...I mean a werewolf.

“Marcus”, I called just his name in a cold tone with a silent message that I wouldn’t take his shit regarding Amber. So, he better watches his tone.

“Seriously brother? Don’t forget that she is our arc-enemy. On the top, she kept you in dark for so long and who knows she will have the intention to kill you?

“I trust her with my life, Marcus. Just like, I trust you.”, I said. “I know she is our arc-enemy but this time, instead of fighting with one another, we will fight to one another to stay together."

“Wow! You’re quite serious about her.”, He muttered more like talking with himself.

“Now, tell me, what brought you here?”

“That’s because we have a big problem.”

“And what is that, Marcus?”, I snapped impatiently because whatever big problem he was talking about would seriously be very big otherwise he wouldn’t have been here to inform me about that.

“Dad came out of the coma on the same very night when you and Amber visited an unwanted guest. And from the moment he has opened his eyes, he was looking for you. I tried to save you by giving excuses but then our stepmother appeared out of nowhere and spilled all the truth about Amber, not being Knight’s daughter.”

“Fuck”

“We all know how our dad is, so, there’s a good chance that he already knows about Amber being a werewolf.”, Marcus informed me. “And he’s not very happy about being her alive until now.”

This was definitely the worst news I could have ever gotten.

“When is he getting discharged from the hospital?”

“Tomorrow Morning.”

Fuck!

Nicolaus Stone was coming home. It meant only one thing… Amber’s life was in danger.

He wouldn’t be happy with me, for disobeying his two rules. First, I wasn’t going to marry that Knight’s daughter, and second I fell in love with a werewolf.

Yeah, Love!

I had no idea when it all happened but all I knew was that I was in love with her with everything I had.

Now, coming back to where I was…’second I fell in love with a werewolf.’

He would surely hate Amber for being a werewolf, he hated them with a passion, not that I was any different. But you couldn’t blame us for that, they killed dad’s first love and my mother.

For a while, I couldn’t take the revenge of my mother’s death from Amber because she wasn’t the one who did this but for dad, all werewolves are the same and all are his enemies.

And by anyways, if he would find out that Amber’s wolf shared the same golden coat just like the wolf who had killed my mother then he would surely dig out her past and would kill Amber for sure if she would be related to the family of that werewolves.

My fist tightened at that thought of Amber being at dad’s mercy.

“What are you planning to do?”, Marcus asked me, observing me in deep thought. “You know dad, right, he will never accept Amber and he won’t give a damn that we are his children if we think to go against his decision.”

I knew that genius. I wanted to make a sarcastic remark that but I didn’t. All I knew was that he was going to make everyone’s life living hell.
