Annora: The Alpha's Prey, Beta's Obsession 104: Shock
AEGONWhat could I have done to make her speak with me? I moped at the door of her chamber, disappointed in myself for not doing what I was supposed to do—make Annora speak to me. Why did she hate me so much? The last time I checked, I didn't have any issues with her. There were so many thoughts running around in my head while I moped at the door, after which I made up my mind to be gone from her sight. Her sight? She shut the door at me a while ago so I was basically leaving her door. Walking through the hallway again, I stopped at the kitchen area instead of passing through the other way that should lead me to my chamber. “Guard?” I called, seeking the man who handed the key over to me a while ago. Where was he? “My lord?” A door opened and I turned around, meeting his gaze. “You called me, my lord. What shall I do?” “I would also love a meal—” I announced, walking to the door of the same kitchen. “You shall take this key from me as soon as I am done.” I added and caught up w

AEGON Again, I raised my hand to knock on the door and there was no response at all. What was the matter? “Sister!” I shouted, but not in a rude manner. Still, there was no answer coming from inside. Maybe she was expecting me here like I always did. But we could not continue like this for the rest of our lives, could we? A sigh ran out of my mouth and I turned to look at Darius who had a look of pity on his countenance. “I'm sorry, Alpha Aegon.” What was he sorry for? I hissed and knocked on the door once more, the urge to shout and strangle her whenever I set eyes on her more than overwhelming. “Is there something I can do, my lord?” I turned again to look at Darius, wondering what he could do to save the day at this point. Then, I had an idea of what exactly he could do to help. “Maybe you should call on the guard who should be watching over this door. I need him here—” I announced. “Be fast about it and don't try to waste my time.” Anger was evident

AEGONAll day, throughout the day, I paced the space of my chamber—even the hallway and kitchen. “You must take it easy on yourself, Alpha Aegon.” At some point, Darius called. “You must be healthy for the return of Wendeline, Alpha. Don't hurt yourself in this process.” “Shut up!” I cried. “Don't preach to me about what to do. Do you understand me?” A sigh ran out of my mouth as I walked my way back to the door of my chamber, reflecting on what Darius said and as well realizing how right he was. Back in my room, I paced like never before. So many thoughts ran around in my mind and I wondered what exactly went wrong. What did I ever do to deserve such a movement from Wendeline who should have stayed back in the Pack and not left in the first place? Again, a sigh ran out of my mouth. “Darius?” I shouted, taking a seat on the couch. “Come on in and be as fast as you can.” I cried, standing back on my feet as I began to pace the space. “Do you know if the men are back from the se

ANNORASeeing his face at the slightest was the most offense I could get in one day. The week, in fact. Even forever. I paced the space of my room, trying to think about the news that reached me from Sora who let me know about Wendeline's disappearance. Was this it? Holding back myself from shouting more than I already did at the Alpha who I shut the door at without caring about his position or who he was to me—I did not stop pacing as I thought about the recent happenings. Was Wendeline safe, at least? I needed to speak with her again. Maybe move out with her so that I could be far away from the man who flocked around as though I was planning to run away. Wait—what? An idea, suddenly, popped into my head from nowhere. There came a smile on my countenance even and I nodded, looking around the chamber to be certain it was just me. Nodding in satisfaction again, I reached the door and opened it, hoping to not see a face like the Alpha's. He was the last person I needed to speak

ANNORA With no shame in me, I walked out of my chamber. Sora and I had not seen each other since the last time we talked—which was yesterday. I could not blame her because she was busy but at the same time, I knew it was an opportunity for me to proceed with making the poison. According to my plans, I was going to leave as soon as the night came. The more reason why I needed to act as fast as I could before the night would come. Catching up with the door of his chamber, I met the questioning gaze of Darius who moped at me. “Good morning, Lady Annora.” He greeted me with a bow and there was no way I would like it but I pretended by planting one smile on my countenance. “Good morning.” I bowed as well. “I am here to speak with Alpha Aegon. Do you think I can have a moment with him?” I looked at the door before the man who pushed the door open without knocking and then walked in. The next time I saw him, he was nodding. “The Alpha has asked you to come on in, Lady Annora.” The door

ANNORA The night came, soon enough. It felt as though the moon goddess understood how much desire I had running in me. “We should eat already, Annora.”“How about you spending the night here with me? What do you say?” He got on his feet and walked to the closet so that he could take a towel he would use to bathe. “I could spend the night here, Alpha Aegon.” Memories of what had taken place in this chamber came running around in my head, and I recalled there was something I needed to talk to him about. I wasn't eating that meal with him. “My lord.” I was on my feet and looking out the window while I observed the day was gone and night had come. “I shall not be eating with you tonight. If you insist, I would but I don't need food for the night. I have had more than enough this morning with you and even in the afternoon before taking a nap. It's not good for the baby.” “Oh, Annora. Of course.” Just like that? He had missed me, hadn't he? “Thank you.” I said, catching up with

ANNORA All these while—All these while, I believed I was running back to a pack with no members and not a place where I should see a soul. I believed I was coming back to take over a pack that should be mine since the rest were long dead and lost—even gone to their graves. What was this I saw? My mouth opened in shock. The least thing to say did not come to mind. Not for one moment and I spent the next moment thinking about the fact that this could be a stupid dream I should wake up from. “Lady Annora.” I snapped out of my thoughts, my gaze scanning a man I could swear I recognized. A man from this pack. A man I had seen a long time ago. The head guard of the pack. Was he also alive? Was I having a fucking dream?! “You—you are alive—” I pointed at him. He had a confused look on his countenance and now he shook his head. “I never died, Annora. I'm afraid I don't understand you. Where are you coming from? Did the Alpha release you back to us?” What Alpha? He didn't refer to
Huling Na-update : 2025-02-14Annora: The Alpha's Prey, Beta's Obsession 111: More Truths
ANNORAI could not believe my eyes. Neither could I believe my ears. At once, so many thoughts were running around in my head and I didn't want to believe it even though it was glaring at me that the horse himself said these things to me. “No—no, I don't believe this.” Alpha Fennic walked to the door. He turned around to look at me and then he let out. “I'll talk to you when you're settled, Annora. For now, you need to eat and take a bath. This is your room, as always, and in case you don't know, you're more than welcome to this pack.” Was he kidding me? How could a man announce to me that he wasn't my Father, and even go as far as letting me know that I was sold by my real father? Who the fuck does that? A loud cry ran out of my mouth. Even though the truth glared at me, I didn't take it. So many thoughts ran around in my head and sitting became the least of my problems—especially when there was a lot to take in. How could I take it in by sitting? Immediately, I jumped to m

Annora: The Alpha's Prey, Beta's Obsession 154 - Another Happy Ending
AEGONEventually, I became a better man. How could I not be with the woman of my dreams next to me? Life was beautiful with Annora, and the seed she's given to me. My son. Our son. The prince of this Pack. I walked into the living room one morning, dressed for the occasion. It was the day when the name of our son will be given to him. With Annora by my side, I heaved a sigh. She was better. Better than the worst I saw that night in the Healer's abode. “Are you ready?” Her voice cut short my thoughts. In her arms was the baby, our new son. The name I would give him was known by myself and the woman I loved. Not just others. Except of course, Darius who I trusted so much, despite everything that happened long before now. He was the man I should have trusted long ago, not Kairel. “I'm ready,” I turned. “Where is Darius?” “On my way,” his voice sounded from behind. He reached the living room space in moments and together, we walked out of the living room. The pack was filled up w
Annora: The Alpha's Prey, Beta's Obsession 153 - Good News. Death
AEGON It was exactly one month when I heard noises from the room, on the same bed where I lay. I opened my eyes and sat up, turned to look at the Luna who sat up with her hand on her waist. “Aegon, I think the baby is coming.” She announced and I was alert, jumping on my feet with fear that could be seen on my countenance. “What?” I asked even though I clearly heard. “Darius?” “My lord.” The man sounded from the door. Without permission, the man walked into the room and there was me who sat next to Annora who shouted at the top of her voice. “We must take her to the Healer's abode.” I tried to stand her up from the bed. She was quite heavy. I've never had a reason to do this until now. Together and with aid from Darius who was almost as strong as myself, we walked towards the door, out of the room, and were leading our way through the stairs, a hard task that scared me more than any other thing. “My lord. Hold her well.” He knew I was beginning to get tired. I gripped Annora
Annora: The Alpha's Prey, Beta's Obsession 152 - The Safety
ANNORAOur arrival was a success. Instead of a wicked welcome, members of The Stormbringers Pack welcomed us more than well. At some point, I looked in the direction of Aegon to be certain we had not walked into a trap. “Welcome home,” the Luna said. She smiled as she was seated at the extreme end of the room. “We didn't know how to come to you after everything that happened between you and your father, Annora. One thing you must know is that I never was in support of what he did to you.”How would I know? I nodded, heaved a sigh, and watched her. “How have you been since his death?” I asked and looked around. “How about Lila? Isn't she supposed to be around? Did she leave the pack?” I didn't know what to think and so I asked. “She'll be here shortly.” Aegon nodded. I did the same. There was nothing more I knew I would say, so I leaned with my back on a chair I had grown up seeing. “There's a lot we have at hand before my wife puts to bed.” He began. “One of them is coming over
Annora: The Alpha's Prey, Beta's Obsession 151 - Back To The Past
ANNORAA week later, after Sora was kept in the dungeon, I had gotten over her and everything that happened even though there still was a sting. There was a plan. It was taking over the Stormbringers Pack. Aegon had suggested it and on second thought, I was supposed to be the next Alpha and Luna since the late Alpha was no more. Today was the day. I woke up in my new bedroom, my new home and looked at the other side of the bed. Aegon had left the room, or maybe he was in the bathroom but I didn't know. There was a lot to do rather than sit and think so I jumped to my feet and walked to the entrance of the bathroom. There and then, I could hear sounds coming from inside. “My lord?” I walked back to the bed. “Are you in there?” I took a seat and looked at the time before looking at the closet when I recalled I had yet to select an outfit for this trip. “I'm here, my lady.” He was there. Getting ready. We didn't have much time on our side and I understood that. By the time Aegon
Annora: The Alpha's Prey, Beta's Obsession 150 - The Real Truth
ANNORA “Wh—what?” The words that came out of her mouth shocked me more than anything. What did she say to me? Did the woman standing before me recall I was the same woman who should be her best friend? “You heard me right,” Sora chuckled. She walked closer and moved farther from me the next time. “You don't want to know how much hate I have for you, Annora. You don't want to know.” “What's going on?” “A lot. A lot you don't know about.” Now it dawned on me. It dawned on me that this woman could be guilty and that Wendeline was right about what she said. How could I not believe Wendeline at this point? I did before now but with doubts, if not because of anything but the trust I have for Sora. Looking up, I asked. “You did something with Kairel, didn't you? Wendeline was right about it, wasn't she? You wanted Kairel to kill Aegon. Did you know about his plans to create a war?”“Why not?” Sora laughed. She looked around the room before facing me again. “Why wouldn't I have known
Annora: The Alpha's Prey, Beta's Obsession 149 - Confrontation
ANNORAIt was three weeks since the wedding and then the coronation when Aegon announced to me that I would need to move into the royal quarters. Since the event, without moving into the royal chambers, there has been no sort of respect I didn't receive from the members who did not hesitate to show me their good side. Before the wedding, there was no such side from them, and I could not blame them. I wasn't married to the Alpha, at least not yet and there was no need to waste their time showing me a side I didn't know existed, not until now. What more could I ask for? This morning, I woke up in a room that won't be mine any longer; not when I was moving into the Luna chamber and from there, the chamber where myself and the Alpha will live, a chamber that's his. A chamber that's mine already. Someone knocking on the door woke me up from my thoughts. I looked up to notice it was Sora. She was the only one who knocked that way on the door of my room. Without any hesitation, I snappe
Annora: The Alpha's Prey, Beta's Obsession 148 - The Leave
WENDELINE After a few days, I walked out of my room with a smile on my countenance. My legs walked through the hallway. I reached the living room in moments. Everyone who passed by me looked in my direction, greeted me, and walked away. I reached a couch and was seated in moments, relaxing my nerves as I let the feeling of home sink in. It was beautiful, beautiful to be here. But it didn't change the fact that I was going to leave. Yes, I was going to leave soon enough, before the end of the week and if not this week, next week. “Good morning, my lady.” “Good morning,” I looked up at the maid who was standing before me. “How are you today?” “I'm very well, my lady. I came to know what you would love to have this morning. The Alpha told me a while ago that you're awake so I am here. What will you love to eat, my lady?” I thought about it. What would I love to eat? “Anything will do.” I relaxed my back and sat up. “Anything will do,” I said again to the woman who bowed and tu
Annora: The Alpha's Prey, Beta's Obsession 147 - Notice
ANNORAThe good feeling that ran around inside my belly. Wendeline's return was good news to not just me, but the Alpha and everyone in the Pack. As soon as Aegon finished changing, he walked through the door that would lead him into the hall, a smile on his countenance. He caught up with me and we kissed even without the priest's permission. Why should we care? Tears did not fail to gather in my eyes. There were just so many thoughts that ran around in my head and one of them was what could have happened to the man I loved so much. If not for the intervention of the woman who made me poison him once at a stage of my life. Crazy. Very crazy. The world itself was a crazy place and I could not wait to be done with the wedding so that some time could be spent with Wendeline who needed to tell me what had happened so far since she left us in the Pack for wherever she went. “Does anyone have anything against the union between Annora and Alpha Aegon?” My heart started to beat. Anothe
Annora: The Alpha's Prey, Beta's Obsession 146 - Home. Sweet Home
WENDELINE “That was smooth.” I walked out of my hiding place. “Hello, brother.” The Alpha only moped at me as though he had seen a ghost and I could not blame him. “You're not going to stand there and act as though you've not seen your sister who has been away for long.” My words caused him to move closer. Tears gathered in his eyes. Whether it was the tears of seeing me or being the winner of a challenge between himself and a man who should be his friend, I didn't know. But I knew deep down inside of me that I was happy to step into the picture and save the man. “I am so happy to see you, Wendeline.” He hugged me. I hugged him back. Tears ran down my face as well and we let each other go moments later. “I'm glad you're okay, Aegon. I'm more than glad the man did not touch you.” And to think that he was ready to die. What did he mean by that thing he did? Why did he allow Kairel to take over? What did he mean by allowing Kairel to kill him? Why would he ever d
