~Anna
“Thick blonde hair, mocking green eyes, tall frame with broad shoulders and he looks like an executive,” I describe his features and Barbara nods confirming it.
Shit… I was in danger long before Aiden reappeared in my life. Why didn’t Liam kill me right away? I frowned at the thought.
“Why didn’t he kill me right away?” I voiced out my thought.
“I am not sure Anna, maybe it is your turn to explain what you remember about that day and how you arrived here,” Barbara says tiredly.
“I have no idea Barbara; I was shot and bleeding in the middle of a dark forest when I woke up.” I narrated what happened when I woke up and how I ended up here. My body shuddered when I thought about that sinister howl of the wolf.
The entire room was silent when I finished, tears were rolling down my cheeks without any control. All I have known and experienced is pain from the moment I
~AidenShe rejected us; my heart felt like it was split into two. An unbearable pain shot through my heart making me and my wolf whimper.My mom stood stunned behind me as she took it all in. She did not say anything as I knelt on the floor sobbing. I felt vulnerable and it is not in the history of Alphas to show such weakness in front of other Alphas, but I did not care.All that ever mattered to me was my mate and a son whom I did not even know existed until a few weeks ago,I deserved it, I half expected her to forgive me. My wolf howled in sadness, I sobbed and looked at the closed door expecting her to come out. Will she ever give me a chance to prove myself?I should have confronted her when I first met her, I put it off thinking I was only helping her by not bringing up her past, in my defense she cheated. All the evidence stated that she cheated on me.There is no point in crying now, I should have trusted her. I did not even give he
Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you’re in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkled you get. ***~AnnaI couldn’t sleep a splitting headache I had made it worse. I stopped taking medicines long time ago and now I felt like I need one to sleep.The girls did not sleep either, they just lay there and was in their own la-la land thinking about God knows what.I heard a car coming and did not bother to know who it was. If anything, I wanted to escape all this insanity and go somewhere peaceful with Ben. A small cabin facing the beach would be lovely. I loved the ocean and beaches, though I did not get that many chances to be in one in a long time.The door creaked open informing someone has entered the room; I wished it is not Aiden and did not bother to turn around.The bed dipped behind me as the person sat and the girls frowned looking at me and sat up. I still did not bother to turn around. I
~AidenWe did not sleep that night, instead discussed the situation and sat in the living room watching TV.It was around three am when I received a call from an unknown number.The man who spoke said that he knew who tried to kill Anna and who is hunting down Barbara, he requested us to meet us on the outskirts of the town shortly.I woke up Mom and after discussing the call I, Mom and Gabriel decided to meet this man who spoke to us while Saxon and Nicholas stayed home.Gabriel’s warriors followed us in a safe distance as we proceeded to meet this anonymous guy.When we reached the forest tree line, we noticed a man stood there waiting for us. He was six feet tall and wore a long coat. His thick blonder hair was combed neatly and his green eyes narrowed as he looked at us.“You came,” he drawled as we walk near. “Whoa, three Alphas in one place to meet me, I am not that much popular,” he whistled lowly.
~LiamThe call from Aiden was bad news. I doubted a scheming lady like Grace would have gone for them directly.Again, if she has gone mad as he stated she would be ready for anything.I heard footsteps climbing the stairs and composed myself to face the devil herself.“Hello Grace,” I whispered wickedly as she entered the doorless room with two wolves in tow.“Where is the girl, boy?” She sneered with a rage that I haven’t seen before. If I thought she looked like a devil before, she was devilish.“Not here,” I smirked, understanding the danger. If it comes to that, I won’t be helpless. I had fought Alpha’s before and was perfectly ready for this bitch here.“I know that before I came in. Where is she now?” Her voice boomed echoing through the room.I did not flinch as I met her glare.“Don’t waste my time boy. I had given you enough time and
Revenge is a kind of wild justice, which the more man's nature runs to, the more ought to law to weed it out.-FRANCIS BACON,Essays***~AidenI smelled Anna and Ben the moment my mother came in, I did not like that one bit and I couldn’t do anything about it now.Concentrating on the traitorous bitch in front of me, I tensed when Anna barged in with a raging Ben.Anna’s gaze met Grace’s and they both stared at each other. Grace in shock and Anna as if she remembered something.We were distracted for a moment when Grace pushed my mom across and raced towards Anna. I was standing in a corner and there is no way I could reach Anna before Grace did.Ben tried to fight back but he was not strong enough to fight Grace. Fortunately, she only backhanded him with her full concentration on Anna.I rushed forward worrying about Anna’s safety when Anna came out of her stupor
Epilogue “I believe in Karma. If the good is sown, the good is collected. When positive things are made, that returns well.” -Yannick Noah *** ~Anna Four years later… Pure white snow blanketed the ground and surrounded trees. I sipped the hot chocolate welcoming the warmth as I sat on the cold porch on a Sunday evening. Life has been smooth and I was happy after a long time. It’s Christmas, Saxon and Gabriel are traveling with their families to Portland this time. Ever since I married Aiden we made it a ritual to spend Christmas together with our friends. The first year it was at Gabriel’s, last year at Saxon’s and now it’s our turn. Benjamin has been excited and we later found out that Diana is, in fact, his mate, which explained his shyness and protective behavior around her. Daniela delivered a beautiful
"It's funny how sometimes the people you’d take a bullet for, are the ones behind the trigger."Pain.It is the only thing that is telling me I amalive.Coldair filledmy nostrils and my chest ached with every breath I took.The metallic stench of blood hung in the air suffocated me. Cracking my eyes open to the utter darkness, I tried to take in my surroundings.It smelled like trees and soil, but everything was eerily calm in here. No crickets chirped. The owls didn’t hoot. I felt no sign of the night creatures. The sound of my ragged breathing became the only sound that kept me company.With the sky void of moon or stars, I could see nothing but black. My eyes didn’t adjust to the darkness yet. My brain felt dizzy, and I breathed through my nose, trying to regain control of my numb body.The cold breeze brushing through my face carried a sweet pungent odor that&rsquo
Years later…~ClaraSunrise, sunriseLooks like mornin' in your eyesBut the clocks held 9:15 for hoursSunrise, sunriseCouldn't tempt us if it triedCause the afternoon's already come and gone.Norah Jones’ voice floated through the air making me smile. I liked the song and hearing it on the early Monday morning made my insides light. My hips swayed to the song as I inhaled the strong scent of coffee.“Mommy”, I whipped around to face my six-year-old son, Benjamin, standing at the kitchen door trying to rub the sleep off his eyes.‘Aww...’ I swooned at his cuteness. My baby looked adorable with his disheveled hair when he did that. My heart melted at his sight like it always did. I had nothing to compare that feeling with. I bent down hoisting him in my arms and smothered him with kisses. His happy giggles were music to my ears."Why d

Two more weeks passed and everything seemed so normal. We did not find any clue in terms of the culprit and the said wolf was missing.The New York partner has invited us to their annual conference and has offered some new deals which would further enhance our business. This time, I decided to take Anna with me.Nicholas is also coming with me and I have assigned Barbara to handle everything in the absence of Anna. I have also asked my mom to help Barbara.Anna was suddenly sick on the day of our travel; she vomited and couldn’t eat anything.She said it could be food poisoning and we were really getting late.Barbara promised to take her to the doctor and take care of her till I come back.“Anna, I cannot leave you here unattended for so long. I will send you the tickets once you are fit to travel. Barbara doesn’t leave her at any cost, stay close.” I said leaving her on the bed, hurrying to the airport.
“Always put yourself in the other's shoes. If you feel that ithurts you, it probably hurts the person too.”***~AidenMy eyes have turned as my wolf took control of my body long back.Ripping the sheets from the bed, I tore it into pieces; the anger was getting the best out of me. The wolf will pay for touching my mate, but at first, I need to show her who is the real man for her.I narrowed my eyes as the bathroom door opened and Anna came out clad only in her towel. The scent of the other wolf so rich in the air and the need to get rid of it was so high.“Aiden,” a surprised whisper caught my attention and I watched as she ran towards me and engulf me in a tight hug.My wolf growled loudly making her jump. “So it’s true.”“Aiden,” she looked at me confused. My eyes were dark and my fangs grew painfully at the thought of her being with someone.“W
