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
The whole room was filled with shocked silence after her soft announcement. The news had turned the present employees into frozen figures, sharing looks from where they stood. They had expected some kind of drama to happen when they saw the alpha's mate but the news of her pregnancy was much more than they had anticipated.While everyone was busy trying to digest her words Anna's gaze remained on her mate, carefully gauging his reaction after she had given him the news. She tried to suppress her nervousness as one of her hands wrapped around her stomach. Kodiak's still eyes were suddenly filled with complicated emotions as they met her nervous ones. “Is this true? When did you find out about this?”“This morning.” Anna had felt a bit strange a week ago, but she waved the symptoms away because she thought it was just a minor flu. It was Catherine who drew her attention to the possibility of her being pregnant so she went to the hospital immediately to check. Anna slipped the pregnant
Back at the alpha's house...Anna kept pushing her clothes in her suitcase even though her vision was a bit blurry with the tears that ran down her cheeks. She felt so heartbroken and betrayed by Kodiak's reaction to the news of her pregnancy. A part of her blamed herself for trying to seduce him when she knew that there was no hope of her winning him back. If she hadn't agreed to that stupid plan, she would have left this place with her dignity and pride intact. She had sacrificed them all for him but why did he do it?He called her a liar to her face!Anna kept sobbing wordlessly, so immersed in her pain that she did not notice the arrival of another person. When she became conscious about the person's arrival, her heart soared with the hope that it was Kodiak but she frowned when she saw the person standing in front of her. “Good. I see that you are finally leaving. You should ” Giselle crossed her arms and leaned on the closed door. Her eyes wandered to the clothes and suitcase,
Two weeks later...“F*ck!” Kodiak swiped all the contents off his table with a growl, chasing away his secretary out of the room. His red eyes grew lighter as he suppressed a howl that would surely alert the whole pack of his condition. His neck cords tightened in anguish when he placed his hands on the edge of the table.“Where is Anna?!” “You need to suppress your wolf, Kodiak.” Zayn frowned at his brother's increasing loss of control over his sanity. His long slender fingers played with a pen knife at a leisured pace but his sharp eyes stayed fixated on the person in front of him. He had rushed here immediately after he heard from Giselle about his brother's growing savage condition. He told his brother coldly, “You are the master here, not that stupid wolf. If you can't keep your sanity intact, then I wouldn't hesitate to kill you for the sake of our family's reputation.”Kodiak rolled his eyes and sat down behind his desk. He knew that his twin was not joking of course, but tha
