ANNA'S POV

I sat with my friends in the cozy sitting room, and we were all chatting happily, our laughter filled the air. The atmosphere felt relaxed and satisfying, it's been long since they came to visit. And for the first time in so many months, I didn't feel alone.

Mercy used to be my everyday visitor, but not until she got married, she barely shows up. Grace got admission for her PhD program for medicine, she barely stayed online to talk of calling. And Stacy... Let's just say, she isn't a people person. She barely left her home until she was forced to.

I know her coming here was because Mercy and Grace are here. But that's by the way, we're here. Having the fun we hadn't had in years now.

I realized we were running low on refreshments, so I called Olivia to help fetch us something from the fridge.

"You called me." She said,

"Olivia, could you please bring some drinks from the fridge?" I wasn't giving her so much attention, but I did my best to sound all nice to her.

    OLIVIA'S POVI couldn't hold the pain, it fucking hurts in there.“What on earth happened?” Stella asked but that wasn't what I wanted at the moment. I wasn't ready to talk, I just needed to get to the doctor as soon as possible or something bad would happen to my child.“We're almost there, you just have to hold on a little longer.” We finally reached the doctor's quarter after what seemed like eternity. “Doctor, we need your help!”The doctor appeared worried as he approached me, "Miss Bridgestone, what happened to you?" He inquired gently, concerned etched in his face.I winced as I recalled the incident. "Madame Anna... she pushed me to the ground," The pain I was feeling inside was unbearable. "Doctor, please do something. I... I can't bear the pain anymore.""Of course, Miss Bridgestone, I will help you. It's my job, and that's what I do for everyone.""That's what you do for everyone." I kept breathing heavily. "You do it for everyone, right?""Of c6, I do it for everyone.""Ok

He must have seen Olivia, or Olivia must have reminded him, who knows?I majestically walked to his room. I didn't bother to knock because I knew Rick to be a man who doesn't lock his door for any reason except he was… I know you know what I'm going to say.“You're not gonna die if you had kindly knocked on the door.”I rolled my eyes. “I wouldn't die either if I don't. By the way, why did you call me?”“I'm pretty sure you already know why. And I'm going to ask you, why did you disobey me?” His eyes turned dark as he gazed down at me. “I already warned you not to lay a finger on her, didn't I? And you, Anna, you dared to disobey me?”I sighed, crossing my arms around my chest. “You don't expect me to keep shut when she misbehaves. At least, you didn't warn me not to touch her whenever she misbehaves. I was only trying to teach her what was wrong.”

    ANNA'S POVEven at that, I wasn't going to do anything.Oh please, don't get me wrong. I need to make that bitch suffer. I can't give up, giving up had never been an option to me. It's said; “Never Give Up.” So dude, I'm sticking to that saying. And even though I can't have him to myself, I wasn't going to let her have him either. So, it's a win win.I walked up to her. “I need you to get me something in the market. It's urgent and I need it on the table.”“Geez, Madame Anna, the Alpha King already asked you not to send Olivia on an errand. She is only meant to serve him alone.” The lady beside her snapped.“Who the fuck are you to talk to me in such manner?” I frowned. “I don't care whatever stupid rules your Alpha King makes, I have every right to do whatever I want to do.”“It doesn't matter, as long as you are under the Alpha King, you deserve to obey. But if you insist not to, then no one is obeying you.” She stood her ground.“By the way, I wasn't talking to you, bitch. Whereve

I fell to the ground, not minding the cars that drove along the road, I just couldn't feel my breath anymore.Tears streamed down my cheek uncontrollably. What will I tell Alpha Rick? Going to the market with Olivia but returning to the pack alone. What excuse would I give to defend myself from this?Heaven knows I warned Olivia. I warned her but she didn't listen to me. I knew Madame Anna's purpose for sending her to buy her fruits wasn't a good one. And that was what Olivia was just so blind to realize.Olivia has the attitude of trusting people's words, and having a soft heart wasn't helping matters. Now look where it had gotten her to? Shit! Alpha Rick will definitely have me dead for sure.I managed to stand on my feet. I looked over at the fruit on the ground, I wanted to leave it but I had to take it with me as evidence to let Alpha Rick k

    RICK'S POVTears formed in her eyes as she spat the words to me. “They took her. They took Olivia.”My heart skipped a beat. For a second, I tried to process the words, but I couldn't get myself to believe what she just said. Was this some kinda joke or what? What does she mean that Olivia was taken?“You're trying to tell me that Olivia didn't return to the pack house with you?” I asked, trying not to believe that was actually what she meant.She slowly nodded her head. “I need your words.” I demanded.“Yes, Alpha.” She replied, shivering.The anger in me didn't hesitate to surface, and it pained me that Anna took me for granted despite my warnings. I've realized that doing nothing had made her assume I was weak and strong only by my words, but today, I was going to prove to her that I meant every damn thing I said.I dashed to Anna, grabbing her neck tightly. Without looking at the young lady beside us, I said to her, “Leave us.”She left hurriedly, leaving just Anna and myself. I

It gladdened my heart that I could finally breathe fresh air without having to see Olivia, or know that she was somewhere in the pack house sharing the same air I breathed.These few days, Rick didn't say a word to me. He's been acting like I was a total stranger to him, more like I wasn't even existing in his life. I wouldn't deny the fact that it does hurt me, but what can I do? As long as Olivia is out of our lives, I'm pretty much cool with it.He just returned from another failed search, and he was heading for his room. "Why can't you give up, you can never find her. She's gone, Rick, for good."He turned to look at me. "No, she is not gone. She's somewhere within the pack, and I'll surely find her."I laughed. "It's been two days and yet, there's been no progress. What makes you think you'll find her?""Because I can feel her, I can sense she is alive. So, do whatever you want to do,

My efforts to find her have been in vain, I know lately I haven't been concentrating.My grudges for Anna had made it impossible for me to focus. Each second I felt this hurt in me, I knew Olivia was hurting.

I just have to let go of my anger for Anna and focus on Olivia's safety.

The next thing I realized was waking up in his bed with his duvet covered around my body.I felt his fingers rubbing my cheeks as he pulled the strands of my hair to the side. Opening my eyes, I was welcomed with a smile and a pair of eyes that made me realize I wasn't dead after all.“Good morning.” He greeted, still having a smile on his face. “Don't tell me you've been staring at me throughout the night.”He shrugged his shoulders. “What can I say? I had to make sure you're safe.”My eyes caught with his wounds. “They aren't healing.” I sat up, trailing my fingers on it. He didn't move, he acted not to feel the pain of the deepness of the injury. “Does it hurt?”I looked at him, and he shook his head. “I don't feel pain.”“Why hasn't it healed then?”“Because I don't want it to.”“Come on, Rick, you can't just leave your injury open like this.

    JESSICA Murmurs spread through the wolves and Lycans, and I could see some of Blake’s men lowering their stance, unsure of what to do next. Even Priscilla seemed uncertain now, and the Lycan King, though standing tall, yet he looked more cautious than he had before.“What do you want?” Raven asked. He wasn’t one to easily trust, and neither was I, but something about this figure made it hard to doubt its power.“To end this needless war,” the figure replied, its eyes now fixed on the Lycan King. “Your thirst for revenge has led you astray. And you, Blake, have let your past cloud your judgment.”Blake bristled at the words. I could feel the tension radiating off him, but he stayed silent, waiting for the figure to continue.“You all fight for reasons rooted in pain and loss,” the figure said, its gaze now on Priscilla, Antonio, and the rest of us. “But the moon does not favor endless violence. There must be balance.”I felt a sudden peace in me, but was tinged with fear. What would h

    JESSICAThe fight was chaotic, with an endless clash of fangs, claws, and blood all over the ground. Just when I thought we were gaining the upper hand, things seemed to have shifted a bit. I saw Priscilla step forward, her eyes locked on Blake. My stomach twisted. All I could see in her was revenge. Revenge. It had swallowed her whole.I couldn’t just stand by and watch. I had to do something.I ran toward Priscilla, trying to reach her through the bond we once had. I pushed my thoughts into her mind, pleading with her to stop. *Don’t do this, Priscilla. It doesn’t have to be this way.* But she didn’t even flinch. Her mind was closed off, her heart totally consumed by rage. She was too far gone.Before I knew it, I grabbed her arm, trying to pull her away, but that only made things worse. She jerked around, her eyes burned with fury. And then, out of nowhere, the Lycan King appeared, moving so fast that I barely saw him coming. He smacked me hard across the face, and everything went

    JESSICA The morning was quiet, but I could feel the tension in the air. Today was the day—the day of the war we had all been preparing for. Blake had met with Alpha Raven the day before, and they promised to fight with us. Not just Raven, but another wolf clan that was a close friend of his had joined in too. Seeing how determined they were gave me some comfort, even though the fear of what was to come still weighed heavily on me.Blake’s men were already gathered, standing at attention, waiting for his orders. I stood beside him, my heart racing, but I knew I had to stay strong. This was the moment Blake had promised me—fighting alongside him, just like he said we would.Beside him was Lyra, he had also made her the same promise. Even though she tried to play courageous with the smile on her face, I could tell she was shit scared like I was.Then the alarm went off. The knight watcher signaled that Antonio and the Lycan pack were on their way. My breath caught in my throat. This wa

    JESSICA The door creaked open behind me, and I didn’t need to turn to know who it was. Blake’s scent, that familiar mix of warmth and safety, wrapped around me as he stepped closer. “Jessica,” his voice was soft, yet I could feel the cling of sleep in his tone. “What’s wrong? You’re shaking.”I hadn’t even noticed my body trembling. I tried to pull myself together, but I knew he could sense it. He always could. I forced myself to look up at him, his eyes still sleepy but alert now, searching mine for answers."I'm fine." I lied. "I couldn't sleep anymore so I thought I should get some air. Besides, the guards are everywhere, you need not to worry. You should go back to sleep."He sighed, crossing his arms around his chest. "How am I supposed to go back to sleep when you're not on the bed?" I looked at him, and we both chuckled. "I can wait until you feel sleepy."That was one habit of Blake, he wasn't ready to give up on me no matter how minor or major the situation may be."It's re

    JESSICAI felt my heart sink after hearing what the spy had said. Antonio had made it so obvious after speaking to someone over the phone, his laughter filled the air so it was loud enough for the spy to have eavesdropped on him.It hurt me that it was at this point Priscilla was being silly and stubborn. I don't know what her master had done to her, but whatever it is, I wouldn't let her have her way. I don't care if it would cost my own life, I wouldn't sit and watch her hurt my man.I welcomed nature with the purpose of meeting Priscilla at least for the last time. I knew I was disobeying Blake's order not to meet her again since she had made up her mind. Somehow, I believe there could be a chance for hope.The dream was so vivid, so real that when I saw her, standing there in the distance, my stomach dropped. "Priscilla." That name tasted like poison on my tongue. She didn’t look surprised when I called her out, anger burning in my chest as I stormed toward her. "Priscilla!" I sh

    PRISCILLAIt was a week before Deluca finally came to a conclusion on the day to attack. Though it wasn't fixed yet, it was something he assumed to be. I was more than excited that I wouldn't have to wait any longer than I have. I didn’t see the need to attend Deluca’s meeting with his friends. We had already gone over every detail of the plan. Besides, the thought of sitting through hours of more discussion felt like a waste of time. So, I stayed back in my room, but as the night dragged on, I couldn’t deny how restless I was becoming. How long were they going to talk? It's been since morning, weren't they tired already? I can't even imagine myself sitting for hours, not to talk about talking for more than five hours over a particular conversation.I paced for a bit, trying to distract myself, but eventually ended up lying on my bed, waiting for Deluca to return. I kept glancing at the door, hoping to hear his footsteps. But he never came, and the heaviness of the day slowly lulle

    JESSICAI felt strange, this time it was a different feeling. I could tell Priscilla was happy, and in a good mood. I wouldn't say I didn't like it but... the happiness felt kinda strange."What's wrong?" Blake asked."I need to dream.""What?" Aria looked at me like I had gone crazy."Yes, I need to dream. I need to see Priscilla right now.""But it's still morning." She said, "I mean, you can't see her except if you both are sleeping, right?""Shit." I cursed under my breath. That was the fucking truth. If I need to speak to Priscilla, we both have to be asleep."Do you feel like she's in trouble or something?" Blake asked and I looked at him. How am I to answer him when I can't even tell my actual feelings right now."No. I can only feel her excitement right now." He raised an eyebrow like he wasn't expecting that answer from me."You should be happy." He added."Yes, I should. But this happiness comes with something different and I need to figure out what it is."I never knew how

    PRISCILLAWhat?!I mentally screamed and before I could know it, he had grabbed my lips into his. I felt my adrenaline rise in want, and I couldn't hold back the desire to kiss him back. As much as I wanted to fight him off, I found myself succumbing to his temptation.His hand moved to the back of my neck, pulling my face closer. While his other hand held my waist, causing our body to meet, my chest resting against his. And for some reason, I wished I wasn't this bursty.This man was all charming, and no matter how hard I tried to resist him, I just couldn't. I felt weak in his arms, and the way he touched me was way too strong than my resistance. And I can't do anything but give up trying."You know," He muttered between the kisses. "I love it when you fill your thoughts about me." I knew well, he was aware I was thinking so much about him. But him asking me minutes ago was like he was playing the innocent man who doesn't read everyone's mind."So, I'm gonna make every thought you t

    PRISCILLAIt was a hot morning. I couldn't believe the sun would shine this bright at such an hour of the day. I learned Antonio was paying Deluca a visit, I knew my anger would get a better hold of me so I decided to remain in my room for the rest of the day.I went to my wardrobe to search for something to wear. Or maybe, I can just take a drive outside to one of the eateries, rather than sharing the same air with an enemy. That was a perfect idea, and I was going to stick with it.I laid my clothes on the bed, and that was when Ivy, my maid, was showing up. Always late when needed. "Ma'am, your meal is ready." She walked in with my breakfast."Just drop it on the table." I said,She did so. "Anything else I can do for you?" She asked."No. I have everything done already." I walked into the bathroom. I just don't know how to get her changed to someone better. I have tried everything and yet she still seems dull to my liking.I heard the sound of the door closing, I let out a sigh b
