Lahat ng Kabanata ng Fated to my One Night Stand: Kabanata 91 - Kabanata 100

~Axel’s POV~ “She is really beautiful.”Ash rose to the surface at the sound of the voice before I was fully conscious, instinct kicking in with the kind of efficiency that didn’t need my brain to catch up first, and my eyes snapped open.Red hair.That was what I registered first and Ash receded just as fast but I was already pushing myself off the bed. “I expected you to be gone.”The red hair swept to the side, revealing the face of the woman whose name I didn’t know because not learning names was part of the two way system. I never learned their names.And I never fucked the same woman twice.She smiled at me and I registered her as mildly beautiful the way you registered something that required no further thought, and then my eyes moved to what was in her hands and the words that had pulled me out of sleep suddenly made sense.“You went through my things?” The irritation came fast, pouring out before I decided to let it, and I watched her feel the edge in the room despite being

~Amber’s POV~ Okay. It was so worth it.Because Axel’s face did something I would carry with me for the rest of my life. For one full second, he just stared at me, his mouth slightly parted, every trace of composure wiped clean off his face. His brows had pulled together like his brain had genuinely stopped working, like I had reached in and pulled the wires loose, and the bewilderment sitting in those eyes was so complete that I almost felt bad.Almost.I shook my head and the laughter was about to come out when my father cut in and he sounded extremely exasperated. “Amber.”It died down immediately and I let out a sigh because he was right even though that wasn’t what he outrightly said. That was enough joking around.And I didn’t know why, but the entirety of the mating ceremony just felt ridiculous. Maybe it was the fact that it was still happening at all after everything I had gone through to get here. Maybe it was that red haired bitch standing up to say what she said, and

~Amber’s POV~The feeling of déjà vu hit me, and for a second it felt like I was back at the Alpha’s gathering, when Ian had just walked in and I had seen the recognition flicker in his eyes at knowing exactly who I was.Except it faded just as fast as it came, because there was nothing knowing in her eyes.Just hostility. And hate.Two feelings that I should have been the one wearing, because everything she had done to me came flashing back all at once. Every word. Every moment I had been foolish enough to call her a friend.But I schooled my expression into something smooth and unbothered. “This is the part where you get on with the rest of it. I have other things to get to.”She shook her head slowly. “You really do not have any shame, do you? Sleeping with my mate and then standing here like you are above me just because you have some kind of title.”Okay. Now this was getting interesting.Because I knew for a fact this had nothing to do with me pretending to be Ambre for the last

~Amber’s POV~“This is the part where I slap you, you know that, right?”His lips tilted up at that and my traitorous eyes dropped straight to them, the memory of how they had felt against mine slamming into my even more treacherous brain.“Then why haven’t you?”The air between us had gone tight, every word he spoke pulling it tighter, and instead of pulling back I leaned forward until we were only inches apart. I let my eyes fall to his mouth this time, fully, deliberately, and I dropped my voice to a whisper.“Because if that kiss was any indication, then us fucking…”I let the words trail off and watched something flash hot across his eyes before I smiled.“And putting an end to whatever this is would do us both a favor. So you are right.” I leaned in until our breaths mixed, until there was nothing left between us but heat and the few inches I refused to close. “But it will be over my dead body before I ever let you touch me.”Then I shoved him back from the bed.“Now if you have

~Amber’s POV~“Pout all you want now, but I promise when we are done you are going to look so good that you will not be able to help but love me.”Rosella laughed, gleefully and completely unbothered, and received my glare in return the same way she had been receiving it for the last five minutes.“I am overflowing with love already,” I deadpanned.But she didn’t seem bothered in the slightest and I looked down at the woman crouched in front of me, both hands moving across my body with the focused efficiency of someone who had done this a thousand times, measuring every inch of me with a tape that seemed to find new places to go every thirty seconds. My waist. My hips. The length of my arms. The circumference of my thighs while I stood there like a statue being catalogued, wondering why I had even stood to be measured in the first place and if I had not made the very conscious decision to actively stay away from Axel Edgewood this morning, I would have gone and found him specificall
