ANNABELLE

“Our engagement is supposed to be next week, correct?”

It took a few seconds for Ezra to lift his head from his phone to stare at me. I held his gaze, not looking away.

“You’re finally talking to me?”

Of course he was surprised that I was talking to him. After screaming in his office about him screwing Margaret, I’d spent the rest of the day moving around with a blank expression and doing my work properly. I was not going to ruin my chance at a job by letting my emotions get in the way. That’s what Ezra would want me to do. He would want me to lash out so that he would seize it as an opportunity to send me away. Not going to let that happen. It would take a whole lot for him to get rid of me. We could get married the easy way or the hard way, the ball was in his court.

I ignored the jab and repeated my question.

“Yes, why?”

“Why? We’ve not discussed it since I came back. You’ve never mentioned it either and you know I lost my memory,”

“Is that not what you have your paren

    EZRA You fucking bastard! You hurt her! You hurt our mate! I shut my eyes, hoping to shut my wolf the same way but it was impossible given that he was a part of me, he was in my head and I’d tried to push him to the back of my mind but he was not having it. I was fighting a losing battle. My head was throbbing with a powerful headache which was as a result of my wolf incessantly cursing at me for what I said to Annabelle today. She’s available, really? I winced. I should have never said that but it was the bloody truth. I settled for taking her after her sister went missing because I thought it would be easier than going to another pack to discuss another alliance but this was proving to be much more complicated than hoped. It was easy when she was just a random woman I was marrying for my kids but for her to be my mate? It was not part of the plan and now, she was causing a rift between my wolf and I, that’s how dangerous she was. Seeing her everyday, wanting to touch

    EZRAI slowly placed the coffee back on my desk and to hide my embarrassment, I picked up the report my beta had dropped off in the afternoon and focused on it but I was not seeing anything.The air was awkward and filled with tension as neither of us said anything. I thought she would leave but with how she remained seated, it seems like she had no intention of doing so.Was she going to talk about what happened today? Try to make peace as usual or… what?“You worked all day and even by this time you’re still working? Aren’t you exhausted? You’re not tired of all this paperwork?” She wrinkled her nose in an adorable manner.“Working is all I know,” I stiffened after the words left my mouth? What was wrong with me? Why did I say that? Now Annabelle was going to hound and try to know more about me because of what I just said.She snorted instead, causing me to move my attention from the paper I was holding so that I could look at her. Surprisingly, she had a look of contempt on her fac

    EZRAFor the next week and a half, Annabelle and I settled into a comfortable routine. Our mornings began with breakfast alongside the twins, followed by riding my car to work together, where we'd slip into our professional roles as boss and employee. After a day of work, we'd ride home together, share dinner with the twins before retiring to my office. There, I'd work late into the night — or pretend to— while waiting for Annabelle to come with freshly brewed coffee. And we would talk, our conversations flowing effortlessly until the early hours of the morning.At first, I was reluctant to admit it, but as time passed, I began to look forward to those late night hours in my office. I liked talking to Annabelle, too much, and getting her inputs on some business matters even if she gave it after a lot of gentle prodding from me. I liked the way her eyes sparkled when she talked about the latest novels she was reading. Just because she was so interested in my life and getting to know me

    EZRAJust as I was about to either ignore her or play dumb, Annabelle rose from her seat and letting the blanket that was wrapped around her shoulders drop to reveal her pink pajamas, she circled my desk and came to me. I gently pushed my swivel chair from my desk to create room for her to stand in front of me.She was saying as she sat on my desk directly in front of me. Her green eyes were sparkling brightly, “Everyday you keep staring at my lips when I speak,” I hadn’t thought she noticed. After all, I thought I was being subtle. Still, I arched one bushy brow, not willing to give in to temptation. I liked the way our relationship was at the moment. Adding kissing would lead to sex and sex would lead to complications.“Who said me looking at your lips means I want to kiss you?”She raised her brow too, copying my action, “Who said looking at my lips means you do not want to kiss me?” After her question, she swept her tongue over her bottom lip, the action slow and deliberate, ca

    ANNABELLE “What do you think of this design, Ma chérie?” The woman in front of her asked, her voice thick with a heavy French accent as her workers held out a bright red gown for me to see. My breath caught as I walked closer to the gown and grabbed hold of one end. The gown was a ravishing red. It was silky with a strapless design that showcased a fitted boned bodice that crunched at the waist. It also had a subtle sheen that caught the light as it was held out. The material was soft and silky, I could almost envision how it would feel against my skin as I walked through the halls of the ceremony. “I like it.” I said as my lips stretched into a wide smile, “No, allow me to rephrase that. I love it. It’s so beautiful,” “Good. Good. I made it specially for you. I was ecstatic when Alpha Ezra reached out to me that he needed me to sew a gown for his fiancé,” Colette waved her workers off and they moved away with the gown. “When did he contact you? How did you sew the gown quickly?

    “When is the perfect date to announce my engagement?” I yelled as I walked into my father's house to meet my parents who were sitting in the living room. They both had their backs to me, their arms wrapped around each other as they watched the movie playing on the big screen television.Both of them jumped at the sound of my voice before turning their body to look at me. Surprised showed on their faces but it quickly morphed into delight as they both got up and held their arms open.I rushed forward, circled around the sofa and threw my arms around them, hugging the both of them together.“We did not expect you to come home tonight,” my mom said when we finally separated after a few minutes of holding each other.“I wanted to surprise you both,” And it was true. I did not tell them that I would be coming home and attending the mating ceremony tomorrow with them.“Eh? We are really surprised,” I saw worry in my father’s eyes that he was trying to cover. I knew there were a lot of quest

    ANNABELLE I hate this ceremony and everybody in attendance. I folded my hands across my chest but when my mother shot me a scathing glare, I quickly dropped it with a huff. Since we arrived a few hours earlier, I’ve not been able to sit still — mother has had to tap me a couple of times — and I never knew that forcing a smile could be so hard until I had to do so today as I walk around, greeting and getting introduced by father to other alphas and their children.“Annabelle has grown into a very beautiful woman,” One alpha Isaiah told my father with a patronizing smile, “My son is yet to meet his mate. I’ll be handing over the pack to him on his birthday in two months. I’m sure he and Annabelle would make a nice couple. What do you say, Alpha Knight?”“That’s left for Annabelle.” My father responded, returning alpha Isaiah’s smile, “This one is stubborn. I cannot force her to anything she does not want,”“Ahh that means she’s just like you when you were younger. You were so stubborn

    ANNABELLE One, two, three… dances in a row, I remained on the dance floor, lost to the sound of music and reluctant to leave. After my dance with Joshua, another alpha son approached me for a second dance and then another young alpha came to me for the third one and by then, I was enjoying myself and had forgotten all my sorrows and the fact that Ezra was ignoring me.“May I have this dance, ma’am,” another man, whom I don’t even know appeared once I was done with the young alpha. He bowed like a gentleman and held out an open palm to me.With a small laugh, I said, “Yes,” and allowed him to wrap an arm around my waist.“You’re so beautiful. This red dress really suits you and compliments your skin tone,” he said once we began to move to the flow of the song.My eyes stung with tears at the compliment. Even if it was not him I wanted to hear it from, it would do. But why couldn’t it have been Ezra who complimented me? After all, he got me the dress.I felt him before I saw him. The h

    ANNABELLE My body moved faster than my brain. I grabbed the kids hands in mine and rushed out of the room before the fire alarm would start blaring again like that night. I was not going to take chances because this was not just any regular person we’ve set on fire, this was Carden, Ezra’s Beta.I made them follow the back door out of the house to the second garage there. It was usually quiet with nobody roaming around there like the main house and garage. “Get in the car,” I made them sit at the backseat of the car Ezra gave me to make moving around easy, and buckled their seatbelts then I got in the driver’s side and drove off.Five minutes on the road, Dani broke the silence. He sat up on his seat as if trying to stare out through the windscreen, “Where are you going to?”“I…” I picked my lips as I glanced at them through the rear view mirror, “I don’t know.”“Okay,” he accepted and sat back with a blank expression.My head was blank too as I was still trying to articulate and wr

    ANNABELLE Axel remained with me until the maids left after scolding Dani and taking the lighter from him. Thankfully, they did not catch the whiff of the smell of burnt flesh because they had been too worried about the kids and cleaning things up.Dani knocked on the bathroom door where Axel and I were sitting on the floor.“You can come out now. They’ve gone,”I rose up and dragged Axel up with me before we both stepped out.“Thank you. You did very good,”“Really?” Dani asked, beaming at me, his eyes shining brightly at the praise.“Yes. You saved me,”The smile vanished from his face and his brows furrowed in a frown. “No, we should be thanking you instead. Axel and I would be dead by now if not for you. That man was sent to kill us, was he not?”The kids were smarter than anybody would give them credit for, especially Dani. I was trying to protect them from seeing the man but it was too late. They not only saw the man that was sent to kill them, they saw me kill and burn him dow

    ANNABLLEI drew the kids to my front and knelt before them so that our faces were on the same level. They’ve calmed down by now but the knocks were still loud and I could hear one of the maids asking the other to get the spare key for the room. It made my hands shake as I packed it on the twins’ shoulders.Axel had tears and snot running down his face while Dani’s eyes were red and puffy. They’ve visibly calmed down and were no longer crying loudly. They had their eyes on the floor. “Look at me,” they rushed their heads immediately, “Both of you have to calm down. I’ll take care of everything but you cannot tell anybody what happened here tonight. Just got with whatever story I tell them, okay?”I expected them to argue but they nodded and loved to sit on Axel’s bed where they wrapped their arms around each other. I did not know if it was fear that made them both obedient, maybe they were scared that I would burn them down. I could feel my staunch twisting but now was not that turn t

    ANNABELLE “Ahhhh!” The assassin's anguished cry was muffled by the mask covering his face as flames engulfed him. He frantically tried to extinguish the fire, but it only seemed to grow stronger, burning brighter and more ferociously by the second. Panic set in, and he stumbled wildly around the room, his screams for help reduced to desperate, garbled cries. Axel had also woken up by now because of the disturbance.I sat frozen on the floor, transfixed in horror as the assassin's body erupted into flames. The twins' screams were distant and indistinct, their voices muffled and faint, as if they were calling out to me from a far-off place.As the assassin's flames-engulfed form stumbled wildly around the room, my eyes widened in horror. Still on the floor, I moved backward, my hands flying to my mouth as if to stifle a scream. My mind reeled, struggling to comprehend the chaos unfolding before her. The sound of the twins' terrified wails was a background sound, but my gaze remained on

    ANNABELLE It was almost midnight and the kids had refused to let me leave. They were scared that once I went back to my room, I would lock myself up again and refuse to leave for days. They even offered to go with me to my room but I refused so we settled for staying in their room and playing games. As usual, the kids beat me in every game and by now, Dani was beginning to suspect that I was letting them win on purpose. He was wrong. For the life of me, I could not understand anything about the games so how could I possibly win.Their father was not back and it was a surprise. He tried his best to not miss dinner and was always home to tuck them into bed.“Where is your father?” When I could no longer hold it, I asked the kids.Both of them looked at me, surprise on their little faces.“You do not know?”“Know what?” My heart was hammering against my chest as I asked. Did something happen while I was locked up in my room? “He travelled.” Dani said as he returned his eyes back to th

    ANNABELLE With the panic came my guilt. The kids had used every opportunity they could to try and get me to leave my room but I was too wrapped up in my emotions to go to them. I have been in here feeling sorry for myself, I forgot about the kids. It was not their fault that their father refused to love me back. They did not know what happened so they must be very worried about me and now they were using drastic measures to drag me out of my head.I made my decision. “Prepare food and ask the kids to go wait for me in the dining room. I’ll be out in a few minutes,”“Alright. Thank you, Miss Anna,” I could hear the relief in her voice and as the sound of her footsteps faded, I dragged myself up from the bed and trudged to the bathroom.Doing well to avoid looking in the mirror and catching a glimpse of myself which I knew would make a little kid piss their pants, I took off my clothes and stepped under the shower. A deep sigh left me as the hot water hit me, reeling my sore muscles.

    ANNABELLE A loud knock sounded at my door and I groaned as I forced myself to move into another position on the bed. I’ve been lying on my back for the longest time, it was beginning to feel uncomfortable so I turned to my side.The knock came again and I shut my eyes, hoping that it would block out the noise. It didn’t. I knew that I’d eventually have to get up. Sooner rather than later.It’s been a what? Two days or three since I confessed my feelings to Ezra and he coldly turned me down. Time heals wounds, they say, that was a bloody lie because each day, the pain got worse. Especially when the person who had inflicted the said pain did not care.After Ezra told me that he married me only because of the mutual benefits our packs were each going to gain from the alliance, I rushed out, leaving my heels behind, nearly crumpling into a heap on the floor a few times. Thank the moon goddess for small mercies, I made it out of the restaurant and into the car without collapsing like my b

    ANNABELLE “Only if he stops acting like he’s seen a ghost,”“You’d have the same reaction too if you were him,” my eyes went to Kelvin, “Sorry we are discussing you as if you’re not present,”“No,” he was still nervous and it showed in his excessive gesticulation, “No need to apologize.”Ezra brought everything to an end when he picked up his menu to order. I asked Ezra to order for me as well, just as Kelvin turned to me. The food on the menus looked very appetizing, leaving me with too many delicious options.The nervousness and tension left me as we drank our whole and made small talk while waiting for our orders. I almost forgot why we were here in the first place. It all came back too soon once our food was brought and we were almost done eating.“Are you ever going to tell me what is really wrong with you tonight?” Ezra haze dropped to my fingers which were twisted in a nervous knot on the table. He leaned over the table to peer at me with those dark eyes of his that looked lik

    ANNABELLE “Are you okay?” Ezra asked as his hand came to rest on my knee, stilling its movement. I looked sideways at him and chuckled, the sound nervous, “I’m fine,”He cocked his head to the side to observe me and I looked away. He knew how to read me too well, I did not want him to see what I was hiding.“You look… I don’t know. You’ve been restless since we got in the car.” I opened my mouth to argue that it was not true but he kept talking, “You’ve been bouncing your knee and biting your fingers. You only do that when you’re nervous.”I let my hand drop from my mouth as I turned my head to look out of the car’s window. He was correct. I was nervous.We were in his car to the restaurant I picked for us to dine in tonight. At first, I was very excited about sharing my feelings with him. In my mind, he would also confess his feelings to me, tell me how much he loved and wanted to be with me forever and we will kiss and everything will be alright. I did not plan that once we were
