ANNORALiving was about to become torture— the first word in my head as I stirred awake on this hard ground. I didn’t know where I was.It looked like a cellar. Dark and moist, with the sun's reflection from the little window lining the walls. Sitting up almost knocked me back into a state of unconsciousness. My head ached so hard, throbbing like it was about to fall off my shoulders.“Where am I?” I said loudly, confirming that I was, in fact, still capable of speaking. Soon, the memories of last night started to push their way back into my head with full force.I remembered everything. Stabbing the Beta and almost dying for it. A gasp ripped out of my mouth when the last clause also sank in. In his irritating voice, I heard it again. A personal maid for the Alpha.Shit! A maid for that son of a bitch?! I groaned and stood to my feet, trying to navigate and find a way to get out of there. Again.The door opened with a creek, and all the light in the world was let in. I raised my head

KAIREL“This is quite the deep cut, Beta Kairel,” Agnes mentioned as she dressed my wound. That was the fourth time she’d mentioned it in just fifteen minutes.It was my shoulder that got stabbed, doesn’t she think I know that? “Why did you come instead of Banes?” I asked, ignoring her remark like I had the first three times. Banes was the healer, while Agnes was the head of maids within the facility. I was just as surprised to see her show up this morning. “Banes had to run errands for his pregnant wife. He asked me to fill it out for him. Alpha Aegon would be furious if he found out.”Of course, he would. Yet she found it comfortable to tell this to me despite being his Beta because she knew I wouldn’t say a thing. They all knew this. I bobbed my head slightly as the burn of the antiseptic bit into my skin. “I see.”She wiped the surface of the injury with cotton wool. It was only a matter of seconds before she asked another question. “What will be the slave's fate? She was not ki

ANNORAThe Beta. Wait, what? Why’d he have to come out half-naked? That was the first thing I could register about his appearance. He’d come out with bandages wrapped around his neck and shoulders— maybe he mistook that for a shirt. I watched him help Lady Wendeline up. He seemed so concerned that it was a little bothersome. It looked like they were friends. I didn’t know an Alpha who let his Beta and brother become so intimate with his bride. Then again, that was no concern of mine. I was dead meat.Lady Wendeline confirmed that she was okay, but the Beta seemed to need help with the injury I'd caused. Watching him momentarily scrunch his face in pain made me admit that I felt a little bit of guilt for stabbing him.All he’d tried to do was help me, and I took advantage of that. I shrank deeper into my uniform. “It’s you, isn’t it? The slave girl,” Lady Wendeline mentioned, and my soul almost snatched out of my body.How the hell did she know that? Doing my best not to look at th

ANNORA“Please! Anyone, let me out…” Life had started to wither from my voice, and my muscles wouldn’t longer move. Sitting was impossible because my head would be underwater, if not close.My eyes had adjusted to the darkness, but my mind continued to spiral. I didn’t take this punishment to end up dying in a well. My family hadn’t died for no reason! “Let me out!” I cried one last time.Climbing was impossible. Despite being tired, I’d tried twice and failed. A slippery slope slid me right back to the bottom of the well. I couldn’t even cry anymore; I kept screaming despite the bile that rose at the bottom of my throat.“Who’s there?” A male voice called out, concerned. Thank god. Thank god! “Please help me!” I cried. Desperation filled my every word, and I almost started to tear up. Was I supposed to be hopeful? It could be another guard who’d just watch me scream till I die.The rock was rolled off, and soon, the lid was cast open; I looked up to the silhouette of a figure lookin

AEGONWaddling behind me like a lost child, Sin wrapped her hands around herself, shivering from the blistering cold. It only made her look more pathetic than she already did in those unfortunate clothes.And she appeared meeker than usual, as though that defiant side of her had drowned in the well. Who locked her in and why? I couldn’t care less. Every near-death experience she incurred only made her fear me more.That was exactly what I wanted. There was clamoring within the maids as I slipped by— they all looked at her like she shouldn’t be alive. If anything, she shouldn’t have messed with Kairel, not when every single maid and slave he had helped pledged his life to him.Leading her inside my chamber, I pointed to a spot for her to stay. I couldn’t have a wet trail lining my entire rug. She looked up at me with sad, puppy eyes, though she stank everywhere. No one would know how much of a clown and menace she was with that piteous look on her face.“Strip,” I said as I took my sea

AEGON Did I sleep with her? Don’t give me ideas, Kairel. I leaned back against the chair and watched Kairel contemplate for a response. “What do you think?”“Just answer the question, Aegon!” He snapped. “Did you sleep with my mate?”“Your mate?” I repeated, tasting the disbelief lace heavily on my tongue. “That child is a slave! A product of my conquest. In what world do you acknowledge that the spawn of the devil who’d ruined our entire life is your mate, Kairel? Have you completely lost sight of what really matters here? Have you forgotten our goal?!”“You mean your goal?” He ran his fingers through his hair, prancing. “Because the last time I checked, neither of us agreed to your unorthodox ways. Not me, not Wendeline. We do not—”“That unorthodox way is what has kept you alive through years of existence, Kairel!” My voice boomed across the top, and I tightened my fist. “That savage way is what keeps the pack afloat. Do you think smiling and flirting with a few maids is what cut

ANNORA“Are you okay?” Beta Kairel asked me as he walked down the hallway, past the festering sight of the guards and maids.I still got goosebumps from walking within them, knowing they’d willingly set up my death and no one would know. Getting locked up in the well shrunk the size of Alpha Aegon as a threat. I had a lot more to worry about, and it was all sinking in that I’d have to worry about my life every day like thisTrying not to tear up as I did, I nodded, keeping my lips tightly pursed and tasting the bitter bile that sat at the bottom of my throat.There were concrete chairs just outside Alpha Aegon’s chamber, and Beta Kairel ushered me to sit. My thoughts were crashing very wickedly. “What happened?” he asked, seeming concerned. Was I even supposed to trust him?He lied that he would get a ladder and didn’t return. I was in that position anyway because of him and his incorrigible fanbase.“I got stuck.”“You were trapped in there. You didn’t put yourself in there, and some

ANNORAHis hands were like claw markings all over my body, pumping me full of disgust with every second waltzing by. I tried to shout.I screamed for help at the top of my lungs, but none came until the guard placed his huge hand over my mouth and muffled my cries.I heard a gasp from the direction of the entrance, and it was a maid, just like me, who’d come to deliver their food. “Help me! Please!” I pleaded, though my voice was muffled. A blubbering mess.But she could see what was happening, right? Her eyes were full of fear, and I watched her entire body quiver. Unbelievably still, she stood, taking in my unfortunate situation,“You saw nothing. Now, get the hell out of here. You know what happens when you snitch!” He growled, still groping me.Her face fell, and I recognized instantly that she wouldn’t help me. None of the maids would. The fragile lady hastily dropped the tray and sprinted like she had seen nothing. “No one is coming for you, princess!” With his other hand, he

100 - The TruthANNORAWh—what was she doing at the door of my chamber? “Do you know what you're talking about, Sora?” Maybe she had too much to drink the night before. “I'm more than sure, my lady.” These words were not enough and I was left with no choice but to catch up with the door so that I could take a look. She was the one right there. “Lady Wendeline—” myself and Sora echoed at the same time. “Open the door.” I added when the Alpha's sister knocked once again. “We can't keep her waiting.” The door was pushed and she walked in. Her fragrance filled my nose but why should I care? All I wanted was for Wendeline to be done with whatever it is she has come to do, and then be gone from my chamber. Sora was the only company I needed. “Lady Annora—” she was smiling. “Maid Annora.” She corrected with the wicked smile that I could see on her countenance. “It is nice to see you again.”Indeed. It was nice to see her too. No, it wasn't. “Good day to you, Lady Wendeline—” I bow
Annora: The Alpha's Prey, Beta's Obsession Ninety Nine: Loneliness
ANNORAKairel was gone from the Pack. The right way to react to it was something I didn't know and could not figure out at the same time. What was I going to do? The strength to live was gone from me. All I wished to do was die and not be reborn at the same time - but be gone from the face of the earth for a long time. Kairel—Thoughts of this man overwhelmed me every time. Now that I thought about it, I realized I wished to have been gone with him from the very onset. Maybe from the life of Aegon who didn't deserve me, after all. And his child? They could always meet each other in the future. Could they not? A painful smile came on my countenance as I thought about my life and how it turned out of late. Many more thoughts ran around in my head, but I became startled, left with no choice but to sit up on the bed when a hand knocked on the door. Who else? Who else if not Sora? Who else if not her? “Who is it?” I jumped to my feet as I walked to the door to unlock it. “Who
Annora: The Alpha's Prey, Beta's Obsession Ninety Eight: Hurt and Regrets
WENDELINE Catching up with the door of my chamber, I walked into the space with the same tears that welled up in my eyes, running down my face. A loud shout ran out of my mouth as I fell on the bed. Many more tears ran down my face as I wondered about what came over me. It was unbelievable that I would speak to Ian like this and in this manner. More shouts ran out of my mouth. “My lady—” I heard a woman call from the door where she was. “Are you doing okay?” She knocked on the door and asked. “Would you need me to bring you something?” “Shut up!” I shouted at her. “And get out of my chamber!” Adding to it, I found myself on the ground and pacing the space - mouthing words I could not even hear. Anger welled up in my bones and I let out another cry. Standing back on my feet after pacing the space and sitting down on the couch a while ago, I walked to the window, leaning on it so that I could take a lookout. The wolves of the Pack, as usual, went ahead with their activities. Tod

AEGONFor a moment, I choked on my saliva. A smile came on my countenance. “I smile because I believe you to be joking, sister. Why do you play with my emotions in this way?” I turned around to be certain it was her I spoke to and no other person. “What can you see?” “I am in your chamber, of course—” she let out. “You're wearing a jacket over a black shirt and pants. Your hair is rough and you have your hand in a fist like you're going to punch me but I'll advise you not to.” “Wendeline!” I shouted. “Oh no.” Mouthing these words, I turned and walked to the other end of the room, while watching her eyes follow me even when I turned back to look at her. “I don't know you to be so wicked, Wendeline. How could you?” “How could I?” She walked to the other end just like I did, touching the walls before turning around to face me again. “You don't know you've tortured me all my life, do you? Do you think I blab when I talk about how much ruin you have caused me, Aegon?” She chuckled
Annora: The Alpha's Prey, Beta's Obsession Ninety Six: Coming Clean
WENDELINE Late in the afternoon on this day, I spent a whole hour getting ready to meet the love of my life - Kairel. He was staying back in the Pack and this was right after I pleaded with him to not leave. How could he not stay back when he realized I would be a lonely person if he left? Especially after professing my love to him. A smile came on my countenance. I heaved a sigh this time around, hungry - realizing also that there was a need to eat something before I would leave for the chamber where the love of my life existed. “Will that be all, my lady?” Startled, I snapped out of my thoughts, recalling that there existed a maid with me in the chamber. “No. That should be all, or maybe not. I believe I am hungry and in need of food to eat before I leave this chamber.” “What shall I bring?” “Food. Anything at all. All I know is that I am hungry.” The door made a sound. I knew I was the only one in the chamber, so I walked to the couch with aid from my stick, taking a seat
Annora: The Alpha's Prey, Beta's Obsession Ninety five: Victory. Alas
AEGON I knew in my heart that I should have reacted to the talks of Kairel that day by making a move on Annora just as he was doing. But there was no way I could do that. Or maybe I could have. Maybe I could make a move, but I didn't want to. Not now. Not ever. Even though I was angry at Kairel for trying such nonsense, I could not do anything but let him try his luck, at least. The last time I checked, Annora was old enough to make certain decisions and that was what I wanted her to do. Choose who she wanted to be with. And what was going to happen if she chose Kairel? What the fuck would become my fate? A sigh ran out of my mouth as I sat up on the bed, nodding in satisfaction but with a wonder of what would happen to me if she chose him. Nothing would happen. What was supposed to happen if not a woman left with a man she loved even though she was leaving with a child that belonged to me? A smile came on my countenance and I got on my feet, pacing the chamber for some tim
Annora: The Alpha's Prey, Beta's Obsession Ninety Four: Disappointment
KAIREL Another morning - another day to try again. What else was I willing to try if not convince Annora to leave with me by dawn? Aegon's words from the other day at the diner made me think all through the week, right from the moment Annora could not provide me with a ‘yes’.Maybe Aegon was right. Maybe he meant it when he said she would choose him over me - even though I hadn't completely confirmed that. But I was willing to try again for the second time. And the last time, of course. Waking up this morning, I felt good. Maybe more than good because this day would decide what my fate with Annora would become. That was all I wanted. I wanted to know - just as Aegon had made me suggest. Standing on my feet, I snatched a towel from the closet and caught up with the bathroom - more than ready for a bath as I planned to be at Annora's chamber before the next hour ended. That was what my day would be about. It didn't take long for me to be done with my bath, and I was hurrying
Annora: The Alpha's Prey, Beta's Obsession Ninety Three: A better News
WENDELINE In the space of my chamber, I was alone as usual. But on this day, I wasn't alone. The thoughts in my head had come to keep me company and I was shocked by my actions recently - wondering also if I did the right thing. Stopping in my tracks, I looked at nothing in particular. What if I had done the wrong thing? What if I didn't have to tell Kairel of my feelings? A sigh ran out of my mouth for the umpteenth time as I turned around, leading my way back to the bedside with the stick in my hand. By now, he must have left the Pack, or has he not? According to what he said the other day, he would be leaving as soon as the next morning and for all that I knew, the next morning of that very day had come and gone. Was he gone already? I didn't want to ask to be told yes because it would break my heart - I took a seat on the bed and fell on my back, wondering what to do because the man in question was the man I loved with all of my heart. How could he leave? Because of a wom
Annora: The Alpha's Prey, Beta's Obsession Ninety two: One hard decision
ANNORA Wh—what did I hear him say? I moped at Lord Kairel. My mouth opened in shock as I moped at the man who moped back at me. “Say something, Annora.”Say what exactly? What was he trying to say? A sigh only myself could hear ran out of my mouth. Another sigh ran out, and I caught up with the same couch I asked him to sit on - more than grateful he did not sit. I didn't know what to say. What was I supposed to say to such a request? “I—” I moped at him. “I don't know, Lord Kairel. Are you even sure about what you speak of?” “I'm more than sure—” He walked to the front of the couch, kneeling so that our faces could meet. “I'm more than sure of what I say, Annora. All I need you to do or say is agree to come with me, and that would be all.” That would be all? What happens to my child? A child that belongs to Aegon, who I knew would do anything to keep me under his roof? Under his watch also. Another sigh ran out of my mouth, and I looked up to meet his gaze again - Lord Ka
