***Amber’s POV***

Ryder gently laid me down on the bed without breaking the kiss. We only broke the kiss when we were running out of air. As I was taking gulps of air in, he was peppering kisses down my body as he got to my naval. I couldn’t contain the moans that escaped my lips. Each moan earned a deep growl from him or his wolf. I felt something trying to pull to the surface. It was strange because it wasn’t Jade. I was ripped from my thoughts when I felt Ryder pull my legs closer and place them on his shoulders. Propping myself up on my elbows, I tried to move away, but he let out a feral growl that stopped me in my tracks. Taking a deep breath, I attempted to control my breathing. But that fails when I feel him lightly nibble on my cl*t. My back arches as soft moans escape from me.

“R…Ryder!” This feels so intense I’m unsure if it’s because I’m in heat? Once again, I was pulled from my thoughts when I felt him insert two of his large fingers into me. Instinctively, I began rocking my hips, matching his rhythm. My walls started to tighten up as I was getting closer to reaching my o*gasm. I was so close when he abruptly stopped. A small frustrated groan escaped my lips.

“Patient, baby girl, you can’t rush an artist.” He mumbled while planting wet kisses starting from my inner thigh and leading up to my chest.

“But you’re n..no…not an artist.” The more he teased me, the harder it was for me to say a proper sentence.

“Oh, but I am. Tonight I will have you screaming my name hitting notes that would make opera singers jealous.” His voice was saturated with lust and desire.

“My alpha, stop teasing me so much.” My words sounded like a whine mixed with a moan. A deep growl erupts from Ryder.

“Sh*t, you really had to use my weakness against me.” Before I could comprehend what was happening, he threw my legs over his shoulders and tapped my cl*t with the tip of his d**k. I gripped the bedsheets, trying to grind on him, but he stopped me. With one swift motion, he slammed into me without any warning. He hit my cervix so hard that I started seeing stars. Reaching down, he began rubbing circles on my cl*t.

“Ry…Ryder! I’m going to c*m!” My orgasm was close.

“You better not f*cking c*m before I say you can.” How can he expect me to not c*m when he has that tone in his voice. The room was filled with the sound of our skin slapping together and our moans and groans.

“Come for me, my little luna.” He said this before lightly biting on his mark. My body shook as waves of my o*gasm hit me. He started slamming into me even harder and faster. I felt him stiffen, indicating that he was close to his climax. Glancing back, I notice his eyes aren’t their usual icy blue. Instead, they were bright gold color; it was Jake. My eyelids grew heavy, and the last thing I remember was Jake mind linking me.

“Who are you? Don’t lie to me because I know you’re not Jade or Amber.”

***Ryder’s POV***

I was on the very edge of my clim*x when Jake took the opportunity to take control. Before I could say anything to him, I saw why he pushed for control. One of Amber’s eyes was red instead of their usual dark brown. Jake took control to speak to whatever it was that we saw. I didn’t fight him for control because although I can speak to Amber’s wolf, our wolves talk to each other better.

“Jake, do you think that has something to do with her scent changing?”

“Possibly, but there’s something else I’m not understanding.” He retreated to the back of my mind and blocked me out. Jake is rarely unsure about anything. This didn’t sit right with me. My wolf has always been strongly opinionated and rarely mentions something until it is figured out. I was pulled from my thoughts when Amber snuggled closer to me. I looked down at my sleeping mate, and a smile quickly spread across my face. She’s the best thing that has ever happened to me. Pulling her onto my chest, I allowed myself to drift off asleep.

***Jake’s POV***

When Ryder and I saw Amber during the mating ceremony, we noticed her scent had changed. Since then, I’ve been trying to mind link Jade, Amber’s wolf. But it’s almost as if she’s in deep hibernation. What’s even crazier, I can sense two beings inside of Amber.

“Jade? Are you there?” I wasn’t expecting to hear anything since I haven’t heard anything the last couple of times I’ve tried.

“My name isn’t Jade. I’m assuming you’re Jake, Ryder’s wolf. Jade has told me a lot about you.” This voice still did not reveal itself to me.

“Who are you!” I used my alpha tone while allowing my aura to release itself. A bone-chilling laugh replied to my request.

“Listen here, doggy! Show respect when you’re speaking to royalty.” My mind went blank upon hearing this. Who was this, why did they consider themselves royalty, and how is Amber connected to it? Before I could ask any more questions, it blocked me out.

***Jessica’s POV***

Once again, I found myself in the alpha’s office under different circumstances. Although the circumstances are different, it didn’t prevent me from having spicy armpits.

“Thank you for meeting with me, alpha Blake and Luna Marie.” My palms began sweating because I knew what I was about to tell them would have an impact. I’m not sure if it’ll be a good or bad impact. “As we know, Amber is my half-sister. I didn’t tell her everything because I knew it would be too much to process. From what I know about werewolf lycan hybrids, it’s not uncommon for them to have two mates. A mate for their wolf and one for their lycan, but I feel Amber is the exception in this situation.” I could see that they were relieved to hear that, which is understandable.

“Is this why you requisition my presence?” The irritation didn’t go unnoticed in alpha Blake’s tone.

“No, it’s not. Our mom wasn’t just any lycan. She was a descendant of the royal family. Our grandfather had a chosen mate, she was from another royal family, but at one point, he met his fated mate, which was our grandmother. The thing is, our grandmother wasn’t of royal blood, and during those times, it was believed that royalty only gets mated to royalty. If a prince found his mate and it wasn’t a princess, they were considered cursed by the moon goddess. Lycans typically mark and mate the same day they meet their mate. Our mom was conceived after he met our mom. Once his chosen discovered her, he was forced to reject her. But once word came to him that she was pregnant, she was brought to the castle, and they took care of her throughout the pregnancy. But after she gave birth, she was banished from the kingdom, but they kept her baby. They treated our mom like she was a slave since her mother wasn’t from a royal bloodline. When our mom met her fated mate, they mated but didn’t mark each other. The following morning he rejected her claiming “he couldn’t have a piece of trash” as his mate, but he made her promise not to tell anyone that he was her mate. She kept her promise until she found out she was pregnant with me. She knew what they did to our grandmother and how they kept her but banished her mother. As each day went by it became harder and hard to hide the pregnancy, which resulted in her fleeing from the kingdom to protect me. After they found out she was pregnant with me, a plot was formed to kill me. Because they wanted to get rid of the prince’s illegitimate daughter ” I paused to allow them to process everything I’ve told them so far.

“So you’re saying your mother is the missing lycan princess?” I silently nodded my head. The room fell into complete silence as they were deep in thought.

“There’s something else that I need to tell you. Royal lycans have a second form, and they call it their true lycan. They try to avoid shifting into that form because if they’re in it too long, they run the risk of going feral; some have even lost connection with their human side.” Alpha Blake appeared to be deep in thought.

“Thank you for telling us. If there isn’t anything else, you’re free to go.” I got up from my seat and bid my goodbyes. As I was walking towards the door, alpha Blake stopped me.

“Oh, one last thing, please keep what you’ve told us between us. That includes Amber and Ryder.” It struck me as odd that he didn’t want them to know, but he better understood their current situation.

“Yes, sir, you have my word.”

***Blair’s POV***

The pain I felt in my chest after telling beta Jacob that the baby wasn’t his is unexplainable. The look of pain on his face will be ingrained in my memory forever. I’m not sure which feels worse, telling him the baby isn’t his or lying to him and letting him believe it is his.

“Does it really matter?” I almost jumped out of my skin upon hearing my wolf. As sad as it is to say, I don’t hear from my wolf as often as others.

“What do you mean?” A feeling of dread started to build up in me.

“It’s dead.” She said it as if she was talking about the weather. It felt like my entire world and existence were dying.
