Amber Quinn
“Where is Amber?” I jumped off the bed when I heard Alpha Enzo’s familiar voice from outside. I harely had time to take my slippers before bolting toward the door with a speed of light as I couldn’t wait to see him.
My heart leaped with excitement when I opened the door and saw him. I was so overwhelmed by excitement that I didn’t have time to study his facial expression.
“Alpha.. you are here!” A smile crept up my face. He was probably here to spend the night with me.
However, my thoughts were soon reset as a hot slap landed across my cheek that had me staggering back until I crashed against the wall, holding my check.
My eyes widened, and 1 froze on the spot as I looked at him shockingly.
“Alpha you slapped.” I couldn’t finish before he grabbed my neck and slammed my back hard against the wall, pressing his fingers into it and choking the living life out of me while I struggled to breathe.
“How dare you, Amber! How dare you!” In all the years that I’ve known Alpha Enzo, it was literally the second time I’ve seen him this mad and out of control. The first time was when I called Lyra a bitch, and now? Did she tell him that I came to his house?
“You are hurting me.“1 held his hand, struggling to breathe, and he finally let go of me. I coughed, breathing heavily as I rubbed my neck.
“Listen to me, Amber, this is going to be the last time I will warn you. Don’t ever show your face at my house or provoke my wife. Count yourself lucky that I’m sparing you for today” He threw me a deadly glare before walking away, not sparing me a glance.
I stared at him until he was out of my sight, and it was then that I realised my lips were hanging open. His actions had me questioning myself if he wasn’t the same man who hated Lyra so much as if his life depended on it. What the heck changed? He was supposed to be like this because of me, so what fucking changed!
I glanced at my maid who had been standing there without intervening, and I scoffed before going inside. I didn’t blame him. She would never have dared intervene.
Tears welled up in my eyes as I stood in front of the mirror, checking out the fingerprints he left on my cheek as a result of the stap. The slap didn’t hurt as much as him doing it because of that bitch. It hurt so badly.
I huffed, clenching my jaw tightly as a drop of tears slid down my cheek, my heart wrenching painfully. I’m certain that I’m the most beautiful she- wolf and the strongest in the pack. Everyone says we look good together, and I was hoping for a life with him. Back then when he told me to act like we were having an affair. I was excited, thinking it would be a chance to win his heart, but here I was today. Despite everything, he still chose that wolf–less weak bitch. What an insult.
“Fuck!” I cursed angrily, raking my fingers through my hair. I felt my blood boil, my heart quickened, and beads of tears formed on my forehead.
“She’s going to pay for this. Lyra is going to fucking pay for this, and that is a promise” I clenched my jaw tightly, and huffed.
My attention was drawn away by the sound of my ringing phone, and I scoffed when I saw that it was Kyle. I had forgotten to cancel our date tonight, but I wasn’t in the mood to talk to him now.
The next few minutes was just Kyle disturbing me with calls while I’m no choice but to turn my phone off

A few minutes passed before a knock came on the door. I thought it was the maid, so I went to open the door to vent my anger on her since she couldn’t read the atmosphere that I wasn’t in a good mood. However, when I opened the door, I was welcomed by Kyle’s worried face. Is he being serious right now!
“Amber Are you alright? Is everything alright? You’ve not been taking my calls or replying to my texts. And when I kept trying to reach you, it said unreachable. Your eyecare pully. Did something luppen? Were you crying? Talk to me, please.” Kyle held my cheeks in his palms, his eyes gazing into mine worriedly like he was scared of losing me, and this is one of the reasons I find him annoying sometimes. He’s just too emotional, and it’s getting under my skin.
I held his hands and removed them from my checks, letting out a frustrating groan.
“I didn’t take your calls because I didn’t want to talk to you Must you show up at my Doorstep!” I snapped at him furiously. He was only trying to show me care, but as much as I wanted it, I didn’t want it from him

“Huh?” He batted his eyelashes, raising his eyebrows
“Im not in the mood, Kyle. I will call you when I’m ready to talk to you I turned to go inside, but he held my hand, bringing me to a halt. What the
fuck is it this time!
“Amber, please talk to me. You are only going to make me stay worried about you. Can you please talk to me!”
When I looked into his eyes, all I saw was a man who genuinely cared about me. I had no idea if that was coming out of a place of intimate love, but I knew it was genuine.
I huffed, yanking his hand off. “I told you to leave, Kyle.” I tried to keep my voice low so I wouldn’t be mean to him, but he kept getting under my skin which was already driving me crazy.
“Amber-

“I fucking told you to leave, so fucking leave already, Kyle. You are getting on my last nerve, and I wouldn’t be able to hold back when I lose it” I snapped at him, and his face dropped sadly: Well, it was his fault. He should’ve left when I told him to.
“The fact that we are friends and you have access to me doesn’t give you the damn right to show up at my doorstep unannounced. So just leave while I’m being nice!” I needed someone to vent on, and he happened to bring himself and even pushed me to do it even as I kept trying to hold myself back.
“If you are going to keep being like this, then we better stop being friends. Excuse me. I slammed the door on his face after I went back inside the
