“My daughter-in-law?”Hyde leaned back in his chair in a sour mood as he faced the two people he wanted to kick out of his house. He had gotten beaten and scratched because he had shown them hospitality. The last thing he needed was to deal with another problem like this. “Yes, she came and threatened me to stay away from her husband.” Anna's eyes suddenly became teary when she cast a pitiful glance at her mate. She was not the type of person to use this underhanded method but she wanted to avoid her anger from that woman. She had walked out of that place with judgemental gazes following her, and that was something she had never experienced even when she rejected Kodiak back then. She had been able to hold her head high but today was a different case. Larissa had shamed her in front of so many people and she will have to pay for that. Kodiak's eyes hardened when he saw her so he turned to Hyde. “Is she fucking blind? Why would Anna go after that little boy when I'm here?”Hyde res
Anna organized her aunt's funeral on a weekend, with the help of Kodiak. The burial was attended by many guests, including her best friend and her aunt's acquaintances. However, Anna noticed that there were not many pack women around, as Larissa had likely made sure of that. She decided to ignore her and not create a disturbance about it since they had attended the funeral. Later, Anna felt a bit dizzy and well. Kodiak immediately took charge and sent her to rest while he took care of the guests. But when Anna arrived at the Lorcan family's mansion, she found Darius who had been present at the funeral, lying weakly on the ground, with an inhaler beside him. She gasped in fright at the sight, wondering what could have happened to him. "Darius." Anna's heart raced when she saw him struggling to breathe. She immediately picked up the inhaler and placed it into his mouth, pumping air into him as she dialed the pack physician's number. She stayed beside him until the physician arrived at
Anna returned to the inside of the house where she stayed by Darius's side, nursing him back to health. Larissa and the rest of the family found out about the earlier situation and thanked Anna sincerely this time. After all, Darius was the future of the pack. Although he was born with weak health, he was still Hyde's only legitimate child so he was highly favored and taken care of. Maybe that was the reason why they were so insistent on making sure that he saved a child before he eventually passed away. As the days passed, Anna and Darius grew even closer. Although Anna had completed her important business and moved out of the alpha's house, she remained with the pack to finalize some matters before her departure. One day, Darius took Anna to their usual secret hideout and handed her an envelope. "This is for you, Anna. Our pack will be hosting the Festival of the Moon Blessings soon, and I would like you to come with me. What do you think?"Anna was taken aback upon receiving the
On the night of the Festival of the Moon Blessings...Darius entered the festival which was in full swing dressed in a sharp black suit following his father and mother. His appearance brought the flirtatious looks from women around him but he ignored them all. It wasn't that he did not want to interact with them but he knew that his parents's eyes were on him ever since he lied about Larissa's absence due to her pregnancy. But as he mingled with his friends and indulged in drinks, he hoped that she wouldn't wake up from the sleeping pills he slipped into her tea that evening. This time, he didn't have any interruptions from anyone who would stop him from spending the night with Anna. He was going to make her his tonight, and then he would share those photos with that arrogant alpha to teach him a lesson. Just as he was enjoying himself with his friends, one of them tapped his shoulder to warn him of an incoming guest but he was too late. Darius turned around with wide eyes, watchin
AFor the first time in her life, Anna found that being the center of attention was not bad. As a submissive wolf, she had avoided people's eyes all her life but this time, she decided that she was not going to shy away from these nasty people anymore. Darius must have thought that she was still the same naive person she was in the past since Kodiak had abandoned her here and returned to the Dark Edge pack,Little did he know that that had been a ruse to lure him into her trap"Where do you think you are going? Come and explain this situation to me!"Darius grabbed her hand when she started to walk away, pulling her roughly to the previous spot she was before. He had gotten the gist that he had been played and he didn't like it. It seemed that his plans had not only failed but they had also gotten him into trouble.His face was graced with a menacing scowl, now that he had her in his grip. He said to her, "I showed you my sincere heart. I gave you my love, Anna. But this is what you do
Anna left the Stark Pride pack immediately after she was done since she did not have anything to do there anymore. She set out that night for the Dark Edge pack travelling in her wolf form along with the other bodyguards Kodiak had assigned for her. When she was nearing the pack territory, she felt a tingling feeling at the back of her neck which caused her movements to falter a bit. She glanced around her surroundings at first, but then she decided to pick up her speed towards the pack. What she failed to notice was the bright glowing pair of eyes watching her in the darkness of the forest. It was early dawn when she reached the Dark Edge pack boundary so she decided to revert to her early form and walk instead. Her heart raced when she saw a tall figure waiting for her from afar, his distinct features becoming clearer as she approached him. “Kodiak!” She ran to him and hugged him, wrapping her legs around his strong waist. Kodiak secured her safely in his arms before he twirled h
Anna spent the next few days avoiding Kodiak and Giselle even though they lived in the same house. She once thought of leaving but she didn't want to give her enemy the satisfaction of snatching her mate away. Her heart felt like it was breaking every day when she saw them together but she refused to show it. She would like to think that it was his wolf who was behind it but she knew the exact time they switched through the mating bond. Her mate really intended to go through the wedding and there was nothing she could do to stop it. Her friends once advised her when they saw how depressed she was after coming from the house, "Why don't you try and seduce him again? He loves you so much, I am sure he will definitely react to you." If it was in the past, Anna would have rejected their advice but she was getting more desperate with each passing day. She kept praying to the moon goddess to give her some kind of help to stop her mate from leaving her but she didn't see it. She cast a hes
While Giselle continued to search for her mate, Anna barely suppressed a moan when she felt her mate's lips cover hers in an attempt to keep her quiet. His hands caressed her thigh, leaving behind trails of heat when they climbed higher to tug the waistband of her panties. She arched her back from the table, bending her body forward when he nipped the skin between her neck and her shoulder. Her lips curved into a smile when she sensed his deep lust through the mating bond. She thanked the moon goddess for her friends who gave her good advice, now she would be able to trap him like she wanted. Anna whimpered when one of his fingers entered her, while the other hand massaged her breasts. Her nightgown was bunched up to her waist as he continued to drive her to the peak of pleasure. She had never been a quiet one but she made an effort to keep quiet in fear that he would stop what he was doing. “Kodiak?” Giselle went to the living room and searched outside the house but she wasn't able
