AMBER
Adam and I got back to our room, and I moved closer to him, breathing him in. I felt sorry for Chris. Once again, I found myself grateful for this wonderful man. I wrapped my arms around his neck and leant in to kiss him. He turned so that my lips met his cheek. I pulled my head back in confusion. He unlocked my hands and moved them to my sides. He stepped away from me “I’m going to take a shower.” He said. There was something strange about his voice. He was distant. I reached out and grabbed his hand “Adam, what’s wrong?” I asked softly. He tried to shrug me off, but I held on. “You are my husband, my mate. If you have a problem then I have a problem. So tell me what’s wrong.” I said more sternly.
He turned to look at me. “Shouldn’t you be more interested in what’s wrong with your boyfriend.” He said snidely. I paused for a moment “Boyfriend! What f*****g boyfriend?” I asked. He snorted “The only person that you have shown any interest in all day is Chris. You even went chasing after him at dinner, leaving me sat there. So what is it? Are your old feelings making you nostalgic?” He asked. I stood there opening and closing my mouth like a fish. I couldn’t believe that he had even said that. How could he think there was anything between Chris and I anymore. I loved Adam, I would never hurt him like that.
“For a start, if I was sleeping with Chris or even kissing him, you would f*****g know it. You would be in pain. Like I was when you were kissing Kim, remember.” I said starting to get angry that he didn’t trust me. I thought that we were stronger than that. “Secondly, I love you and only you. Chris is a friend and he is going through something right now. I’m just trying to help him, that’s all. Thirdly, if you wanted to know what was going on all you had to do was ask. Instead you are standing here accusing me of cheating!” I finished. He looked ashamed. “I’m so sorry. You are right. I do know that nothing has happened. I just.....I can’t explain it. Somehow I got it in my head and it ate away at me. Can you forgive me?” he asked. Of course I would forgive him. I already had. I moved in for a kiss and this time he met my lips with his own. That was better.
We sat down and I told him what was going on with Chris and Chloe. He said that looking back it seemed obvious. He had been so caught up in his own jealousy that he had missed it. He had seen me reaching for Chris’s hand under the table. He didn’t realise that I was trying to stop Chris from doing something that could start a war between packs. It wasn’t like Adam to be jealous. Even when we had first met before I knew that he was my mate and I was sort of dating Jason, he still hadn’t acted jealous. Although to be fair to myself we weren’t a couple back then. Still, I hadn’t seen this coming. I was glad that I had made him talk to me, instead of letting this build into something worse.
I looked into his eyes. “I’m sorry too. I should have told you sooner. I didn’t consider your feelings when I went to check on him, when he left the table. I didn’t think that it would bother you. Obviously I was wrong. From now on I will be more considerable.” I told him. I apologised as it was the right thing to do. We may be strong, but I doubt that I would have been happy about it if the roles were reversed. He smiled at me and we kissed again. “Now about that shower. Would you like some company?” I asked suggestively. He picked me up growling and walked into the bathroom with me in his arms. I guess that was a yes.

It was so easy to wind up Adam. I had expected it to be more difficult. After all they had the mate bond. He would know if anything happened between Amber and Chris. Yet all it took was a snide word here and there. An innocent remark about how nice it was that they were still so close, so friendly, while they were huddled up earlier. His imagination had done the rest. Hopefully they were at each others throats right now. A marriage had ended because of her, so I wanted to end hers. It would be the perfect karma. I snuck up to listen outside of their door. They were arguing. I was so happy right now. I kept listening, but my joy soon turned to anger. What the f**k!! They made up. Just like that. Well I wasn’t done yet! I would find a way. I was heading back to my own room, when I heard a door open and so I ducked behind a huge plant. I didn’t want to get caught sneaking about, listening at doors.
I watched as Luna Simmons snuck out of her room. She looked around before heading towards the stairs. She was in her nightgown. I followed her curiously. She stopped at the room that her husband was staying in. I had been surprised to hear that he had requested separate rooms. She listened for a moment then hurried off. I stopped too and heard the sounds of vigorous screwing coming from inside. So that’s why he wanted his own room. I had no idea who was in there with him, but it definitely wasn’t his wife. He clearly didn’t care whether she knew either as he wasn’t exactly being discreet. That man was truly the worst type of man. She definitely deserved better, better than him and better than Chris.
I continued following her. She went up to the Alpha floor. Knocking on the door of the Alpha suite she fidgeted nervously with her robe. The door opened and Chris looked at her in shock. I couldn’t get close enough to hear what they were saying without being seen, but it didn’t take long before they went inside. I approached the door, pressing my ear against it. Knowing that it would be no use. The Alpha suite was completely soundproof. All of the rooms on the Alpha floor were. I couldn’t hear a thing. I considered popping back down and letting that Jack ass Alpha Simmons know where his wife was right now. However I decided against it. I doubted he would be very happy with me disturbing his fun. I would just find a way to let him know in the morning. Even if nothing was happening, and they controlled themselves, just the knowledge that she was in his room would likely be enough to make Alpha Simmons start a war. That’s the type of man he was. He could screw whoever he wanted, but she should be completely faithful. I don’t like the man, but I am happy to use him to get what I want.
