Anna sat next to Kodiak in the living room, her body tense and stiff as a rock. They were both watching his grandmother drink her tea with poise, waiting for her to break the silence. Anna cast a pleading look at Kodiak, silently asking for an explanation about his grandmother's sudden return to the house, but he simply squeezed her hand and remained quiet.When the old woman finished her tea, she dropped the teacup on the saucer and turned to face them. “I overheard that you plan on dueling your uncle for your mate, Kodiak. If I hadn't come into town, would you have kept this secret from me?”“Yes,” Anna tensed slightly hearing how harsh and firm his voice sounded to her ears, “It's nothing personal, Grandma. You also hid the fact that you helped my father's murderer escape from pack punishment.”The old woman smiled gently, her eyes moving to Anna to gauge her reaction. However, Anna remained determined to keep a straight face, hiding her surprise at the revelation.“I was just bein
Anna gasped at his words, looking at him wide-eyed to see if he was teasing her but the calm expression on his face told her otherwise. Her heart pounded loudly in her chest as her hands loosened around his neck, hanging loosely on his shoulders.“Anna?” Kodiak's eyes furrowed in concern, wondering if he had shocked her but the happiness in her eyes made him relax slightly and wait for her response. “Sure,” Anna finally breathed out, “Let's get married.” She didn't know what had gotten into her to be so reckless, especially since she knew that they were doing something wrong but she didn't care. She realized that she was feeling insecure about their future, especially since his grandmother had now arrived with the intent to separate them. After all they had been through, the only thing she wanted was to feel the security that came with the status of being his wife. She wanted to be bound by him in front of the Moon goddess, with the elements of nature as their witnesses. His determi
“Okay, we are done!” Hilda carefully inspected her work before she took a step back and let Anna look into the mirror. The rest of the girls also came to check on her, beaming with smiles as they admired her makeup. Hilda said to Anna, “Although the products I used are all waterproof, I still suggest you don't cry so it won't ruin the photos we are going to take.”“I'll keep that in mind,” Anna nodded slowly when she looked at her reflection in the mirror. She could hardly believe that this beautiful face belonged to her, and the sight nearly took her breath away. Her honey-brown hair was styled with flower hairpins that left two loose curls framing her face. The finishing touch on her attire was the set of diamond earrings and necklace Kodiak gave her a few seconds ago, adding to her stunning appearance. Hilda's smile faltered when she noticed the tears gathering in her eyes and quickly stirred her out of the room. Anna's mind was a whirlwind of emotions, slightly shivering due to t
Anna woke up the next morning with a blissful smile on her face after recounting last night's events. She stretched her body lazily like a cat before she opened her eyes to see her mate sleeping soundly beside her. She smiled in satisfaction watching his handsome face after buried halfway in a pillow with his eyes closed and his lips parted slightly. The more she saw him, the more her heart swelled with love knowing that he was all hers. She felt excited by the prospect of the future they would have, and she couldn't wait to build a family with him together. She raised her head from his arm and slowly approached him until they were a few inches apart. Her eyes fell on his red thin lips that were within his reach, their breaths intermingling with each other. Anna suddenly leaned to give him a feathery kiss, her lips grazing his own before she pulled back with a flushed face. A hand grabbed her when she wanted to leave, pulling her back to his hard chest. She yelped in shock as she s
As Anna sat with her grandmother-in-law at the dinner table, she was taken aback by the woman's sudden outburst of harsh words. Before she could even respond, Kodiak, her husband, slammed his hands on the table and rose from his seat in a fit of anger. His face twisted in a cold, dark fury that seemed to threaten everything in its path. The cords on his neck bulged as he glared at his grandmother, who had just insulted Anna and their son.Feeling the need to intervene, Anna quickly stepped in and thanked her grandmother-in-law for her advice. She then informed her that they had decided to get married after the duel was over, regardless of whether or not their child was of the Cardinal bloodline, but that he was indeed Kodiak's son.The pack priestess opened her mouth to speak, but Anna raised her hand to stop her. She took a deep breath to calm herself before speaking again. "I understand your concern for your grandson," she said, "but I am his mate, Arabella. I would never do anythin
As Kodiak drove his car with his grandmother sitting beside him, an uneasy silence filled the air. The tension between them was palpable, and it seemed to be brewing with each passing moment. Kodiak tried to focus on the road ahead, but his mind was clouded with negative thoughts and emotions.Meanwhile, his grandmother seemed to be lost in her world, enjoying the breeze that blew across her face as she gazed out of the window with her eyes closed. Kodiak's heart was filled with resentment and anger towards her, wondering how she could betray his mother and her father in such a cruel manner.It was hard for him to comprehend how their once-loving relationship had turned sour, especially since he and his twin brother had always cherished their memories of spending time with her. Despite his grandmother's apparent fondness for his mother and her father, Kodiak couldn't help but feel betrayed by her actions. She let the murderer of his father go unpunished and roam free, which was someth
In the alpha's mansion...Anna woke up the next day feeling a bit guilty about staying in bed as she prepared a cup of tea for herself in the kitchen. She had been prepared to wait for her grandmother-in-law to return yesterday so she could hear the secret she promised to tell her, but she had fallen so sick that she fainted without warning. When her husband, Kodiak heard about what happened, he immediately rushed to the pack clinic and dragged the head doctor down to the house to examine her. She barely managed to get him to go to work in the morning after staying up all night to take care of her. She gently stroked her belly, feeling the baby inside kick and squirm. She whispered, "What's troubling you, my little one? You have been giving Mama a hard time recently. Are you as worried about the future as I am?" Anna couldn't help but feel anxious as the days counted down to the upcoming duel. Her stomach churned with unease, but she tried to remain optimistic and hoped that everyth
Anna was a bit annoyed by his sudden visit since she was not in a good mood now that she had received an ominous prophecy about her and her baby. However, this person was a high-ranking member of the pack so she decided to send him away personally.As she walked towards the door, she was hit by a strange and unpleasant smell. At first, she wrinkled her nose in disgust, but then something clicked in her mind and she froze. The smell of silver, with its sickly sweet aroma, filled her nostrils, making her stomach churn with fear and apprehension.Since when did werewolves like them hold silver so casually?“Hello? Is anyone home?” Conan frowned as he stared at the closed door, approaching it with slow steady steps. Anna saw him coming so she cleared her throat before speaking, “Good day, Mr. LeWren. Is there anything I can help you with?”“I, uh...”Conan shifted from one foot to another, blocking his face from the rising sun rays that were now shining on the front porch. “...need to spe
On a night of a full moon...Anna quietly watched the pack priestess performing a ritual in front of the entire pack. It was an important occasion that had drawn people from all four directions of the Great Landmark to witness. Her eyes followed her mate's every move as he assisted the priestess in her incantations but her iron-clad concentration was finally broken when she heard her friend arrive by her side. “Luna," Catherine placed a tray of fruits by her side and tipped her head towards the direction of the ritual taking place. “Is this really necessary? I thought Ryan had already welcomed your child to the pack already. Why did your mate suddenly summon everyone out of their houses for this impromptu ritual?”Anna shrugged innocently, laughing at the hint of complaint in her friend's voice when she replied, “You know how Kodiak is, Catherine. He wasn't happy about it when I told him last night and decided that he would hold another one.”“This is ridiculous!” Catherine mumbled q
Anna had taken countless fighting lessons from her husband when she had been kidnapped by a savage wolf and she had been honing her skills with Ryan and the other guards in the pack. But she had real-life battles neither had she expected it to be this fast and intense. She could barely keep her life with each punch and kick directed at her so she had been forced into a disadvantage from the start. Giselle swiped a claw near her face, her eyes reflecting the sharp edge which caused the crowd to gasp in fear and anticipation. Anna could sense the vicious determination in Giselle's lightning-fast attacks to end her there but she was not going to let herself be pushed around like that. Anna ducked under another attack and instantly struck out her leg to clear her opponent's own to gain the upper hand. When she succeeded in making Giselle lose her balance, she jumped and planted a punch in her jaw. The dominant female wolf immediately crashed to the ground with a wave of dizziness. When
The news of the duel quickly spread across the Dark Edge pack and beyond, but the mere news was more unbelievable when they heard that a submissive female wolf was going to fight with a dominant wolf. Many bets were already placed on the fight and everyone thought they could foresee the results. After all, Giselle's prowess and strength were well known across the Great Landmark but not many people knew about Anna Knightley. When Catherine and Vivian heard about the news, they immediately demanded to see their friend and came to see her. “Anna, you are not serious about going to fight with Giselle, right?” Vivian gave her a concerned look before adding, “Every woman in the pack knows her character very well, she is the type of person who will do anything to win. What if she tries to kill you there?”Anna shrugged helplessly, “Then I guess I will have to perish there.” She rolled her eyes seeing her friends' appalled looks and spoke, “Oh, don't give me that look, Vivian. Now that me a
The atmosphere in the pack was solemn and tense after the guests had departed, leaving behind only the pack residents in a state of anxiety and trepidation. The hostile takeover had left some people unconcerned since they believed that whoever would replace Kodiak wouldn't harm them, but others couldn't help but worry about the alpha's well-being and whereabouts, having witnessed his triumph in the duel arena.“How dare he do this to me? That bloody bastard!” Mrs. Hoyles, who had been locked up in her house like a caged animal, snarled in rage as she paced back and forth furiously. Conan LeWren, who had been sparing no efforts in suppressing his opponents and searching for the alpha, still couldn't locate him.Mrs. Hoyles felt relieved that she had contacted her grandson in time, urging him not to return to the pack in the meantime. She knew Knox's temper very well, and the last thing she wanted was to hold his dead body at the moment he discovered that something bad had happened to h
Anna lay on the crisp white sheets, her body contorting in pain as she released guttural sounds of pain that echoed throughout the brightly lit room. Sweat glistened on her forehead, the intensity of her pain etched on her face as she gripped the sheets tightly. The pack physician stood in front of her, whispering encouraging words to her with a calm expression that he had learned to master, “Please push, Anna. You're almost there.”“I can't.” Anna cried out in pain, tears blurring her vision. Her breath came out in ragged bursts as she asked him. “Where is Kodiak? Why isn't he here yet?”“He will come soon,” The nurse beside the physician reassured her but her eyes widened when she noticed that the lady was slowly slipping into an unconscious state. “Hey, ma'am! Please don't fall asleep, we need your strength to deliver this baby!”“I-I...need my mate...”Anna mumbled under her breath as her eyes dripped low. The only thing that had been stopping her from falling unconscious all this
After staying in the Frost Fang pack for two days, Alpha Kodiak stood in the room watching the Frost Fang pack physician examine his brother once more after he had transferred some of his wolf's energy to Zayn who weakly laid on the bed. The doctor checked him once more before he put away his stethoscope and informed them, "His condition has been stabilized now, but he will need lots of bed rest for his fractured bones to heal, and he shouldn't overexert himself working from home." "What about his scars?" Kodiak pointed at the long, jagged slash across his twin's face, frowning at the blemish that had now ruined his brother's handsome face. He couldn't help but blame himself for not being there when his brother needed him the most. Maybe it was because he had witnessed Zayn beating people up rather than getting beat up so he thought he would naturally pull through. The pack physician cast one more glance at the unconscious alpha on the bed and sighed. "I'm afraid it's going to take
Zayn's voice trailed off at the other end of the line, leaving a few seconds of silence before he asked his brother again with a hint of surprise in his tone. "You can still feel the bond between us?"Kodiak confirmed this, running his hand through his tousled hair with exhaustion. "Yes, the connection is faint, but it's still there."The Great Landmark was full of mysteries that could not be explained, one of which was the twin bond between their wolves. Kodiak and Zayn had grown up with a bond that was as strong as a mating bond, ever since they were young children. This bond had allowed Zayn to protect and heal his younger brother after their father died, but it had weakened over time when Zayn formed a mating bond with his former mate for the first time.“I didn't think you would be able to,” Zayn chuckled drily. “But if you visit me now, what will happen to your duel?”“I will return to the pack on time. Stay there and don't even think about running away.” Kodiak ended the call a
Anna couldn't believe how fast time had flown by. It was early dawn, and she was already pacing back and forth in her room, feeling anxious and restless. The sleepless nights had been getting worse ever since her mate left her alone in the house. As she started her morning exercise routine, she happened to glance at the calendar on the wall and realized that the duel was only three days away. Although the maids and guards had told her that he frequently asked about her well-being, she was still unsatisfied that he hadn't called her personally. She stopped in her tracks and looked at the wall clock, wondering if he was awake at this hour. She couldn't help but worry about him since no one knew Hunter's whereabouts which was why she had taken safety measures to protect herself and her baby by in the house despite her yearning to go outside. Anna couldn't hold back her anxious feelings any longer. She rushed to her bedside table and picked up her phone to dial her husband's number. Aft
Vivian sat on the bare floor of her room, amidst a pile of cardboard boxes. Her once beautiful face was now stained with tears that streamed down her cheeks, but she didn't let her emotions get in the way of her efficiency. With determined movements, she packed away her belongings, almost clearing the entire room in a short time.Ever since the day she broke up with Knox, the only man she had ever truly loved with all her heart, Vivian had secluded herself in her house, unable to face the outside world. She tried to bury her pain and suffering by cleaning the house and engaging in other activities, but nothing could ease the heartbreak she was going through right now.As she was about to stack the boxes she had gathered on top of one another, a sudden sound jolted her from her thoughts. The doorbell rang loudly, echoing throughout the living room. She wiped her tears and composed herself before coming out of the room to go and check who was at the door.Vivian was taken aback when she
