ANNORA

How did I not think about this from the onset?

Sora moped at me but she wasn't my problem in the meantime even though it was her assistance I needed in order to achieve this.

“My lady?”

“Yes, Sora?” I looked up after some time.

“You don't want to know what I have come up with. I'll let you know what it is about in a moment.” I adjusted on the bed where I sat.

“You like Lord Kairel, don't you?”

“My lady—” she cried.

“What sort of a question is that?” She adjusted on the couch and looked around the chamber. “I'm not supposed to hate the man, should I?”

“That's not what I mean, and you know.”

A chuckle escaped my mouth and I was standing on my feet, walking to the couch so that we could stay closer to each other for this conversation. “Do you like Lord Kairel in a way of sex? Even marriage.” I took a seat on the couch next to her.

“I like the former Beta.” She admitted.

“But I cannot have anything to do with a man who took my best friend to prison even though it wasn't

    KAIREL The morning of a new week arrived. I was supposed to be better than last week, but it looked like I had become worse than the previous week and this was why I chose to spend time alone in my chamber until I had a reason to be out. Opening my eyes on the bed this morning, I wondered what to do when I was ready for the morning. I let my eyes shut and sleep took hold of me, while I spent the rest of my time in a world that existed only when the eyes were shut. Opening them the next time, it was the sound of someone hitting the door of my chamber. Why? What for? “My lord?” The womanly voice called. I sat up on the bed, thoughts of how I got here in the first place running around in my head. Then, I heaved a sigh and managed to stand on my feet, after which I reached the door so that I could unlock it and when I did, it was a maid. Not just any type of maid. It was Sora. The woman with the keys to achieving something. “Good morning, Sora—” I opened the door w

    KAIREL “Wh—what did you just say, Sora?” The woman looked up from the chair where she sat, standing up on her feet. “Yes, Lord Kairel. Shouldn't you be thinking of something you should do to Annora? Doesn't she deserve some kind of punishment for what she's done?” Shock pulled up on my countenance. I didn't know what to say. Was this a setup? I wanted to ask when Sora walked to the door. She opened it slightly and looked out. I could see the body of the guard and then suddenly, Sora turned around to look at me, then shut the door. “What do you want to do to her?” I could not pretend that I wasn't confused, because I was. What was the woman talking about? Should Annora not be her best friend? “I know what's going on in your mind, Lord Kairel. The fact that Annora should be my best friend, isn't it?” She chuckled and let out. “She stopped being my best friend the moment I fell in love with the Alpha. He was supposed to be mine and she was supposed to be yours, but she

    AEGON “No, brother. I don't want to—” “I insist, Aegon.” Without a word from Kairel—I didn't want to hear any, after all, I turned to look at the women who went about their businesses. “Lady Agnes. You'll ask the maids to bring the meals to the dining hall. That's where I'd like to spend some time with Kairel who is showing his face for the first time in a very long time. Do you understand?” “Yes, my lord. I understand you.” “Good.” I looked away and walked towards the door with Kairel who was smiling. Then I turned back around to look at Agnes who called. “You didn't tell us what you'd love to have.” “Whatever Kairel is having, I shall have.” Turning around once more, I looked at the man who moped at me with the same smile. “How have you been?” We walked out of the kitchen together and walked towards the living room where Sora and Annora were seated. “Hello, ladies.” Annora looked up. “Good day, Alpha.” She looked at Kairel whose countenance seemed to change. “Go

    Annora “P-please!”The monster didn't leave my side, neither did he hear any of my pleas.My voice had gone hoarse from begging for his mercy. I felt his large hand dip into my hair, yanking my head up to gaze at him, my mouth hanging open.My breath was caught in my throat, and I winced in pain, tears flowing down from my eyes, uncontrolled. But the monster wouldn't let go of my hair, rather he grinned as he locked eyes with me. His orbs were as dark as his soul, but I didn't dare look away, not while my hair was tangled around his fist and he yanked it harder, with a devilish precision while his red lips still formed a satisfied smile.My expression morphed into a wince and the tears wouldn't stop flowing.“I want this one…” he announced, a smile snaking his red thin lips, an opening to the hell of his mouth. “I love what her mouth looks like wide open. Keep her in a separate carriage.”Disgust bit through me and my stomach sank. I spat in his face. “Go to hell, Demon! Go to hell!

    AnnoraMy heart had burst into a sprint, clamouring against my ribcage like it tried to tear itself out. The fear gripped me like a vice, choking the air out of my lungs. No. No.My legs wouldn't even move. I barely batted an eyelid and he was right before me, his eyes fixated on my skin and I grew hot. My entire nervous system and nerve endings reached disarray.“So delicate,” he cooed and something inside me rose. I didn't know what it was, but I hoped it was the intense hate I felt for him. My body wouldn't stop shaking.His fingers swept the strands of my hair to the side, and I felt sweat streaming down my forehead as I gazed up at him with eyes holding nothing but terror.I stared at the tattoo designs that adorned his arms, my eyes blazing with fury. He grabbed my chin and pulled me to look up at him. “Do you…like what you see?”He looked like a god. He was built like one. This was the devil they spoke of?Face modeled after the most gorgeous of angels, only for his personali

    AnnoraThe carriage was driven into a castle, a majestic fortress of stone and steel. I lay coiled up like a snake, my body curled in a tight ball. Memories came flooding back, bringing anguish and causing my eyes to swell and redden. It was painful to even glance at the sky.The walls of his castle were thick and frightening, with a large gate of iron that seemed impenetrable. I felt the heaviness of the chain that was clamped around my wrist and its weight dragged me down as I moved my arms.This was hell. The sobbing tones of the other prisoners beside me reminded me that this captivity might be permanent. There was no way out!Aegon had taken it all.I was still trying to come to terms with my fate when a giant man, covered in tattoos that looked similar to Aegon's, approached our carriage.I felt his grip on my chain pulling me downward as other soldiers took the remaining prisoners. Our chains echoed through the floor like a rail track. “Move it!” he commanded, pushing me fo

    AegonI could sense that look from miles away. I could smell it too. It was different from the smell of sex and sweat that filled this dungeon. Kairel remained rooted in one spot, his eyes keen on sin and he uttered, in a gravelly voice. “Mate.”My brows furrowed in disgust and anger punched through me. Sin was his mate? More like my plaything. Time seemed to still for those too and Sin sat there, trembling from the cold. Her bare body is a work of art that, for some reason, moved me. She was untouched— I knew that much, but managed to have the body of a goddess. Perky breasts that rounded nicely and the cold had helped to erect her nipples.They stared at me, red and plum, begging for me to indulge. Maybe she wouldn't suffer this much if her father weren't Alpha Fennic. That bastard needed to die many more times.My dick throbbed in my trousers, trying to free itself from its restraints and I was just as shocked as the guards, too. I tried to stuff down the feeling— that rush in m

Every joint, every board, and a hole had been carved into my chest. “What?" I uttered, my voice carrying no life.His lips stretched into a predatory smile that sent chills skittering down my backbone, and the hair behind my neck stood erect."Dance on the nails, Sin. Don't make me repeat myself.”My vision was clouded by the blob of tears that welled up in my eyes, and I tasted bitter bile in my throat. Lowering my head to the board on the floor, shivers rudely crashed into me. The top of the nails glistened, and my feet folded in fear."Please!” I cried and fell to my knees, scrambling to where he was sitting. "Please! I can't. This is too much. I'll do whatever you want!”Tears already flowed freely, and Alpha Aegon was humored. There was a maddening glint in his eyes as he laughed so heartily, throwing his head ba

You should be happy he's no longer linked with me. Do you need me to accept him back?” What the fuck was wrong with this man? I heaved a sigh and looked around the room even though there was no one there with us. “It's funny but I thought you wanted me to not have a thing to do with Kairel any longer. I have put an end to that and you have an issue with it.” “I don't want you to have a thing to do with Kairel. I'm just saying I feel bad for him.” “I see.” “Is it that hard that you cannot understand?” A sigh ran out of his mouth as he walked away from the window, taking a seat on the bed next to me. What to say, I didn't know. Maybe I did, but not anymore. “Thank you, baby—” he took my hand in his for a moment so that he could kiss it. “Do you want to know why I feel for him? I

Can't you see? I don't have anything to do with you any longer and I am sure you're certain of this.” “No, I am not certain.” “What do you mean, Annora?” “Make me understand why you've rejected me as your mate when you're not supposed to.” A sigh ran out of my mouth and I held myself from shouting so much at the woman who moped at me, a wicked smile on her countenance. It looked like this was a moment of hers she spent all her years waiting for. And I wasn't going to let her have power over me. Not now or ever. “Lord Kairel?” I looked at her, walked back to the stone, and took a seat on it. “Of course, Annora.” “I am happy with the Alpha, Lord Kairel,” she announced and it made me more angered than I already was. “Myself and the Alpha are happy with each othe

    ANNORA Weeks passed since the feast was thrown for Kairel and we had yet to come across each other. I walked through the compound of the Pack with Sora who walked behind me. She mouthed words I did not correctly hear and no one needed to let me know she wasn't speaking to me. “Sora, will you go to play with the kids?” She chuckled. “No, lady Annora. What do you think Alpha Aegon will say about me not watching over you when he sees it?” I stopped smiling when I saw somebody. Kairel. What was he doing in my face? A sigh ran out of my mouth and I stopped walking so that Sora could meet up with me. “There he is—” “Who?” Acting as though I didn't know what she was talking about, I asked, my gaze fixed on Kairel who walked in my direction. “Do you mean—” “Lord Kairel—” she chuckled. “Such a handsome fine man who doesn't look in the way of other women. Don't you think it's not fair?” What was she talking about? Did she—I looked in Kairel's direction and turned to look

    KAIREL When did she hate me so much? And why? Seated on the special chair meant for me, my gaze met Annora's for a moment. Not a smile was on her countenance. I didn't need to ask anyone before understanding that I was hated so much. But what did I do? Did I not set her free and give her a chance to run back to Aegon so that she could be safe and alive? Didn't I ask her to let Aegon know about the war? What did I not do for the woman? I sighed and looked away, recalling also that if it were not for me, Aegon and the rest of the men would not know about what was coming for them. They would not know about the war because Annora will be in The Stormbringers Pack, and she could not let anyone know about the plans. What an ingrate. I looked away from her side because I had been staring a while ago. Now, I channeled my thoughts on the young man who held the local microphone, my name in his mouth as he praised the outfit I wore for the feast. “Kairel happens to be the f

    AEGON Seven days passed. The day we've waited for had finally come. More than ready for the feast, I woke up with a smile on my countenance. I looked at each side of the bed for the woman I loved, and then I recalled we didn't share a chamber in the first place. I got on my feet and caught up with the bathroom, and then the closet before the bathroom door once again. After my bath, the next moment was spent admiring the outfit I would wear for this feast. I had asked the pack designer to make something new and that was what I wanted to use. “My lord.” Darius sounded. “Darius—” I called from inside. “What can I do for you on a day as beautiful as this?” “Have you forgotten?” He asked. “It's the day when I get you ready, or do you plan to do that on your own? I thought you might need—” I opened the door and he stopped talking. “Come on in, Darius. I need all the help I can get.” The door shut and he walked further into the space of my chamber, giving a nod at the si
