William knocked on Anna’s door that evening. The sun was setting and he had just bade his client's daughter a goodbye, and after giving his chauffeur the rest of the day off, sped down here to talk with Anna. He had tried calling her throughout the meal during the restaurant and yet she hadn’t even bothered picking up. At some point, his calls weren’t even going through anymore, leading him to believe that she had blocked him.All William felt was confusion over everything, so much so that it irritated him. His lunch ‘date’ with the busty brunette ended in a pretty sour note when he refused to return with her to her hotel room. It had been a first for the CEO-slash-werewolf, but that was what Anna did to him.After many more moments stood waiting, he heard footsteps from the other side of the door and then it opened.William saw how Anna’s eyes narrowed onto him as soon as she recognized he was the one on the other end of the door, and she began to try closing it.But he stopped her w
But the bubble burst, and she remembered Ethan telling her that he has a fiancé. Anna trusted Ethan’s word. And that meant William was once again playing the innocent one, making her out to be the bad guy.“That’s enough.” She pointed to the door. “You should leave now. And if you don’t, I’m gonna call the cops on you.”William looked disappointed at her attitude. He could sense she was definitely not joking about her threats. Ergo, he had no choice.With a sigh, he reached into his pocket and brought out a black card, which made Anna look surprised.“What is this?” She took the black card from him and peered into it.“I know you’re upset.” He started to say. “But that doesn’t mean I’m going to just up and leave. I’m willing to prove that I want to be in their lives if that’s what you want. So anything you need for the twins, you should get it. Whether it be toys or even hiring babysitters. I’ll even get contacts of a daycare owned by our kind to make things easier. Whatever it is, An
Lily couldn’t contain herself from looking around as she walked up the steps of the mansion.The sun had set, therefore William was suppose to be in the pack compound by now. As she entered the foyer through the front door, she turned to the first servant she saw.“Where is Alpha William?” She asked the maid, whose eyes look was of awe and envy at Lily’s beauty. The latter was used to it - from her peers included.The maid stammered out, “Um, Alpha William is in his bedroom suite, Miss . Should I let him know you’re here?”Lily shook her head and dismissed the maid with a wave.“No need.”As soon as the maid bowed and scurried away and she went up the steps, the smile she had on her face faded away and a stoic gaze took its place. Honestly, she hated having to converse with maids. When she got here, she would train them to anticipate her desires and orders so she didn’t have to raise a finger or say a damn word.She knocked once on William’s door before opening it, and walking in jus
As Lily left William’s bedroom, she had to conceal the relief that she felt upon not arousing any sort of suspicion from her fiancé. She had to remember to be more careful, she told herself. Keeping not only to her Uncle Drake’s warnings, but remembering the plan was a good recipe for success. She couldn’t do it any other way. It would positively bring her to ruin.The dark haired beauty went gently down the steps, and she nearly reached the front door when she heard a voice that made her stop in her tracks.“Was my brother pleased to see you?” It was full of glee and an unspoken knowledge that made chills roll down her spine.Lily whipped her head around and tried to keep her cool as her dark eyes spotted Ethan seated at a corner she hadn’t noticed before.He had a book in hand, which looked to be written in Italian, judging by the cover.It was just another element she didn’t know about Ethan that made her wonder who this brother of Alpha William was. Certainly, he was more than
As Anna finished giving instructions to the babysitter that evening, she stepped out of the house, bag in hand and her anticipation rising. She was dressed in a black boat neck dress that draped elegantly over her body and showed off her long, lean legs.Ethan was there, waiting for her beside his black sports car. He sported an all black ensemble over which he wore a black leather jacket. His eyes met hers as he saw her walk to the other side.“You ready?” He asked, to which she nodded.She was going to see the pack for the first time.Anna was silent as she sat in the passenger’s seat of the car, breathing in the nice scent of the car. She could hardly contain her nerves, and it wasn’t her fault. She was a human, going to see a werewolf pack, which her children automatically belonged to. Of course, she had a right to wonder how things would turn out to be.“You must be nervous,” Ethan stated as he drove smoothly toward his destination. It was very fascinating to see the emotions cle
Lily stepped into the dining hall with the maid that led her in.“Ah, Lily, my dear,” William’s mother, the previous Luna, rushed over to greet her, while the maids arranged the large dining table.She accepted the hug from the older woman, wondering what was going on.William had only called her and told her to come for dinner. But she truly didn’t know why.“Hello,” Lily put on her regular innocent look, before asking. “Where’s William?”“Right here.” She turned around upon hearing his voice. William was dressed casually in his bred button down shirt and slacks. He looked absolutely delectable.She went up to him, and he wrapped his arm around her waist and pressed a kiss to her lips briefly.“What’s going on? The dinner table…” she whispered to William.“Fuck, if I know.” He murmured in her ear, sending pleasant shivers down her spine. Honestly, this man knew how to rile her up. “My mother’s the one who planned this, so it’s going to be a surprise for us both.”Lily tried not to sh
The sound of the fork snapping in William’s hands was lost to Anna, who was coughing at the question posed to her. Seconds later, a maid surreptitiously moved to hand the Alpha another fork, bowing and retreating into the corner.Lily had begun to notice William’s eyes never leaving Anna’s direction, and each time it made her angrier and angrier.At one point, she placed her hand on William’s thigh out of sight from everyone else, trying to get his attention.However, she found her arm promptly pushed away by him.What the hell?!She looked away from the Alpha who was supposedly her fiancé and she noticed that Ethan was the only one who had noticed that little exchange between her and his brother. He was smirking, as though he had won some small victory.Anna took advantage of the glass of water, her mind whirling as she thought of what she could say in response.Did Ethan’s mother think they had been..?Should she reject that premise?She didn’t want to start off on the wrong footin
William was pacing up and down the lengths of his study, muttering words under his breath as he drank some whiskey.So this was his dear brother’s plan? To take his woman and his children? To pretend to be the FATHER of HIS own twins?The Alpha envisioned, for the first time, ripping the throat of his sadistic little brother out, and watching him bleed to death.“Thank you.” His head snapped up at the sound of Anna’s voice right outside his door.In a split second, the werewolf opened the door of his study to find that Anna had come out of the guest bedroom.“Anna.” He said her name, and she froze, turning from the maid and glancing at him. As his green eyes stared into her orbs with intensity, she found herself unable to speak.Before she could come to her senses, he turned to the maid and said, “Leave us.”It was an order from the Alpha, and she couldn’t dare disobey, so the maid bowed and scurried away, leaving Anna with him.“What do you want?” Anna asked him the first question t
