Annora: The Alpha's Prey, Beta's Obsession Eighty Two: She Knows
She KnowsWENDELINE It was another day in the Pack. Another day to be the blind woman I was known to be. With the stick that stayed in my hand or next to me all day long, I concentrated on chewing a chunk of meat—struggling with anger that was directed to the head of the maids. Why would she give me this type of meat? After a long while of struggle, I chewed the last part of the piece of meat. The maid who watched me while I ate, handed me a bowl filled halfway with water, and without any hesitation, I washed my hand. “That should be all, I believe.”The maid, I didn't know what she was doing, but I could feel her walk out of my chamber. “Hand over my stick to me before you leave—” I called her back, and she did as told before leaving—walking out of the chamber finally. A sigh escaped my mouth. What was to be done? What else? Unlike everyone in the Pack, I was to stay in this chamber all day and not leave. Of course, I wasn't chained back by the Alpha or the other authorities

KAIREL I was supposed to leave as soon as the next morning arrived. There was nothing I knew I could do—not when Aegon had proven to be nothing but the stubborn man that he is. Heading back from the garden where I had been all day—only in the name of taking some time to think and rethink my decisions, I stopped at the door of my chamber. “Did anyone come to come for me?” I threw my question at the guard who shook his head after a bow. “Good enough.” A part of me believed that Aegon would come to my chamber again. Maybe in the name of making peace. Maybe in the name of releasing the woman I love so much, but he didn't. And did he think he was doing these things to me? Did he think he would survive without me? Giving a nod, I walked into my chamber. There was a lot to do before the day ended. It was only in the afternoon, and I had yet to take my morning bath. Without any hesitation, I caught up with my closet and took out a towel—hence leading my way to the door of my

KAIREL Wh—what did I hear her say? Unknowingly, a chuckle ran out of my mouth. I had become fazed by the words that ran out of Wendeline's mouth but I also needed to be certain that she wasn't under the influence of strong alcohol. “Did I hear you correctly, Wendeline?” Even though she was blind, it seemed like she was staring at me but there was no way she could do that. The stick for support that rested in her hand stamped on the floor. “Do you even know who you're speaking with?” “Kairel?” She scoffed. “Is that not you?” She now asked. “I do not want to believe I have come into the wrong chamber.” Again, she sounded. And now, I was certain that she was certain of the chamber she was in. But what was she talking about? “Have you been drinking too much?” “No—” a loud scoff ran out of her mouth. The stick in her hand moved in the air. It looked like she was in search of me. “I'm sure of what I say, Kairel. I don't know but I've waited for you to see this on your own s

ANNORAIt was another morning. Another day to stay back in the chamber and show my face to the wolves. Waking up with a slight headache this morning, I looked forward to a moment with Sora who, every morning, made it to my chamber no matter what. I walked to the window corner and took a peep, staring down at the wolves of the Pack who went about with their usual morning duties. Where the hell was Sora? I looked around and spotted someone who looked exactly like her from behind. But then, when she made a move and I had access to the side of her face—it wasn't my maid. Just in time, someone knocked on the door. I let go of the window and faced the wooden door. “Sora. Is that you?” Settling on the bed, I relaxed my back on the strong wood and then watched the door push open. “Good morning, Annora—” Sora walked in. There was a tad bit of a smile on her face. The kind that expressed displeasure, shock and maybe disappointment. What was wrong with her? Maybe I was thinking too much.

ANNORA “I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean.” He got on his feet and paced the room. What did I do? What should I do? What was the right thing to say to him? There was an urge to pace my chamber also but I sat down and watched Kairel who looked like he had a lot to say. “What do you talk about, Kairel?” He stopped pacing and turned to face me. “Can't you see it?” He walked further and caught up with the bed where I took a seat. “Can't you see that I'm in love with you?” He asked and looked me directly in the eye. “I cannot let you go, Annora. I cannot let you go.” I was lost. Confusion greased my countenance. “You said you hated me.” “I was angry, Annora. I was angry and would you blame me? You're my mate and I love you very much. How can you expect me to not hate you at that very moment?” He started pacing the space again. “Do you expect me to not hate you at that very moment? Would you not say those same words to me if the tables happened to be turned?”

ANNORA Again, after a few days, Sora showed up in my chamber once again as usual, with a beautiful smile on her face. “Good morning, Annora—” she shut the door, startling me as she walked over to the couch. “I'm sorry if I disturb you but I thought I should make it early to your chamber before anything else. Would you like some food?” I thought about it. Would I like some food? “Yes, Sora. A cup of tea would do with meat. Can you do that after a bath, though?” She nodded and took a seat on the large couch, moping at me as though she had seen a ghost. “Of course—” she got up almost at the same time when a seat was taken. “I'll make a bath for you as soon as possible. Give me some time, Annora—” She promised and was out of my sight. My life, in a few days, had become so miserable. A lot went on with me, especially thoughts. Thoughts about how stupid I was. Thoughts about how I could not do anything other than sob about the situation I was in. What more or less coul
Huling Na-update : 2025-01-26Annora: The Alpha's Prey, Beta's Obsession Eight Eight:Something To Do
KAIREL It's been over one week since I made up my mind to stay back in the Pack, rather than running away like the coward I was not—and up till now, I had yet to come up with something to do in order to win Annora. Was it so hard? Did it have to be so hard? What was wrong with me? Anger running through my veins as blood, I paced the settings of my chamber as I tried to think about what to do. Maybe how to do it. But how was I supposed to think about how to do it when the thing to do was least known to me? A tired sigh ran out of my mouth and I looked at the wall, turning around before making up my mind to console myself. That was better than anything else at the moment. Heaving a sigh, I reached the window in moments. No one asked me what to do in this world that I had created for myself. There was nothing like an Alpha or a Beta in it, unlike what I went through about a month ago when I still pledged allegiance to Aegon—a man who didn't deserve it. I looked out

ANNORA Opening my door to meeting Beta Kairel with a tray of food in his hand shocked me more than anything else. “Good morning, my lord—” I mouthed with a bow, opening the door even wider so that he could walk in. “Wh—” My words began to fail me, but I was willing to try again. “Wh—what are you doing here?” “Good morning, Annora—” Kairel led his way to the bedside, dropping the tray on the table next to the bed. “I'm sorry if I disturbed your sleep, Annora,” he said with a bow and pointed at the meal. “But I thought I should bring breakfast to you. Do you mind?” “N—no, no, I don't mind, my lord. But I believe you know you don't have to—” I looked at the table where the meal was dropped, realizing the treat was one of my favorites. “You didn't have to, Beta Kairel. You know Sora? She brings my meals to me every morning.” An unpleasant look came on his countenance. Kairel shook his head. He then walked farther from me—leaving me with no other option but to be glad that

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
