Annora: The Alpha's Prey, Beta's Obsession ย ย ย Forty Three: Busted
AEGONโWendeline?โ Annora whispered, biting into the word like it was the most distasteful thing sheโd ever named. โIs that Wendeline?โI shook my head, shifting my attention back to the the door, โComeโโ โAre you insane?!โ Annora yelled at me, wide-eyed like I had taken a knife to her neck. โYou canโt let her in! She will know I am here. In the same room as you, Oh my god. She canโt find me here.โMy brow pulled together because I didnโt understand what the problem with that situation was supposed to be. โAnd?โโAnd??โ She repeated, then got cut short by Wendelineโs persistent knocking. โHow else can I get out?โโYouโre thinking about yourself way too much, woman.โ I stood up and headed for the door, โJust sit still and look pretty. You being here is almost as insignificant asโโI heard a puffing sound and turned on my heels, then the scent hit me. Annora was way busy and determined to spray my perfume all over the room to cover her scent. What? And that wasnโt all, she dashed int

ANNORAI made my way through the winding corridors, my feet carrying me on autopilot as my mind replayed the events of the past hour. Wendeline's words still stung, and I couldn't help but wonder why she hated me so much. My heart still raced fast from managing all that tension.Eventually, I found myself standing outside the healer's hut, my hand reaching out to knock on the door. But before I could, the door swung open, and a stern-looking healer blocked my path.โCan I help you?โ she asked gruffly, eyeing me up and down that I felt like the smallest thing to ever exist.โI'm here to see Sora,โ I replied, trying to keep my tone neutral.The healer raised an eyebrow. โI'm afraid that's not possible. Magnus is attending to her, and he's given strict instructions that no one is to disturb her.โFiery anger gushed in my veins, but I knew better than to argue with the healer. Instead, I nodded curtly and turned to leave.But as I walked away, I caught sight of Magnus sitting in the cor

AEGONFuck! Fuck!โWendeline!โ I bellowed as I pummeled down the hallway with my heart in my throat, set ablaze with fury. With worry.What happened!? What happened to her?? All I heard from the maid was that she was passed unconscious and I lost it allโ every single tinge of sanity left in me vanished and I was left a mere shell of what I was supposed to be.Iโd become less of an Alpha. More of a brother. A mere, powerful brother. I took the turn that led me outside, to the healers tent and the crowd pointed where I needed to look.โLeave! All of you!โ I panted, sweat dripping from my head. My visual was clouded and my head pounded. Not Wendeline. Not her. I had done everything and would anything to ensure she never got hurt, ever. All of this was for her! Every single thing. โWhere is she!? What happened?!โ There was no one to question, Iโd just sent them all away. The closer I got to the healerโs doorstep, the harder walking seemed. There was a clog in my chestโ a sharp, shapele

ANNORAI sat outside the healer's tent, my eyes fixed on the entrance as if willing Sora and Wendeline to wake up and tell me everything was going to be okay. But the tent remained still, the only sound coming from Magnus's humming as he tended to his patients.I felt a lump form in my throat as I thought about everything that had happened. Aegon's anger, Wendeline's slap, the maids' accusations... it all swirled together in my mind like a toxic storm.And Aegon... why hadn't he even listened to me? Why had he assumed the worst and turned against me? I felt a sting of hurt and betrayal, and before I knew it, tears were streaming down my face.I wiped them away, feeling a sense of determination dawn on me, or maybe it was foolishness. But I needed to talk to Aegon, to make him understand what had really happened. I stood up, my heart pounding in my chest, and began to make my way to his chamber.But before I could take more than a few steps, three guards appeared before me, their faces

AEGONHow do I deal with my conscience?Wrong question. When did I even develop a conscience? My attention was fixated on the pile of documents I had to work on, but I couldnโt barely see a word of it clearly. It had all blurred terribly before my eyes, and my mind was filled with thoughts of Annora and where she was. The worst of all dungeons. It was a war in my headโ clashing between what I should have done and what I did, but where was the line? This should be easier for me.It was a mere maid, the daughter of the same man whoโd ruined everything I needed. My actions were justified, but my heart could barely rest. Heat seemed to blossom in the low of my stomach, alongside a disturbing swirl that ached.This physical dilemma had never been something Iโve had to deal with. It was a new feeling, ever so nauseating and excessively frustrating. Sitting up with the pen in my grip, I tried to shift my concentration, but my mind reeled.I stood up and began to prance the room. Iโd been

ANNORAAegon's lips touched mine, and I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. I couldn't breathe, couldn't think. All I could do was sit there, frozen in shock, as he deepened the kiss.But as the seconds ticked by, something inside me shifted. It was like a dam had burst, releasing a flood of emotions I'd been trying to keep locked away. I felt myself melting into the kiss, my lips parting to allow Aegon deeper access.It was like the entire world had come alive. Every sensation was heightened, every feeling intensified. I could feel Aegon's heart pounding against mine, his chest rising and falling with each ragged breath. I could taste the desperation in his kiss, the hunger and the need.And I responded to it, my own desire rising up to meet his. We kissed as our lives depended on it like we were trying to devour each other whole.But eventually, Aegon pulled away, his chest heaving with exertion. I looked up at him, my eyes wide with confusion and desire. I didnโt want him to sto

AEGONBarely having a chance to process all that had happened with Annora in such a short period, another bombshell had just been dropped. Why would Magnus send such information? That sadist bastard. One of them? Just one of them? I couldnโt help but pray it was Wendeline. I needed it to be her. โJust stay here,โ I said gently. It was almost as though my actions were already so out of my control. I didn't understand why I acted this way around her. โItโs still cold out. Iโll see whatโs going on and come back to you.โI kissed her. I woke up to cook for herโ my brotherโs mate. My head felt heavy, my mind scrambled like the writing project of a toddler. But this wasnโt my priority right now. Despite recognizing that, my mind still wouldn't shut down. Annora tried to get out of bed as I picked up my coat at the speed of light, โLet me come, too. Please. I want to know who it is.โโI canโt let you do that,โ I responded, eyeing her. All I could see was a weak woman who needed all the re

ANNORAI lay in bed, my mind racing with thoughts of Aegon and the kiss we shared. But as the minutes ticked by, my thoughts turned to Sora and Wendeline. Who was awake? Was it Wendeline, or was it Sora? I couldn't just sit here and do nothing. I needed to know.I threw off the covers and got out of bed, my legs feeling a bit shaky as I made my way to the healer's tent. But when I arrived, I found that it was empty. The fire was out, and the beds were vacant. I frowned, wondering where everyone could be.And then I remembered the snowstorm that had been raging outside. Maybe the healer had moved the patients to a different location to keep them safe.I decided to ask one of the maids for directions, but as I approached them, they seemed reluctant to talk to me. They whispered to each other, their eyes darting towards me before quickly looking away.I felt a surge of frustration and hurt. Why were they treating me like this? Didn't they know that I was worried sick about Sora and Wend

Annora: The Alpha's Prey, Beta's Obsession ย ย ย 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. โAre you ready?โ 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. โI'm ready,โ I turned. โWhere is Darius?โ โOn my way,โ 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

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. โAegon, I think the baby is coming.โ She announced and I was alert, jumping on my feet with fear that could be seen on my countenance. โWhat?โ I asked even though I clearly heard. โDarius?โ โMy lord.โ 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. โWe must take her to the Healer's abode.โ 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. โMy lord. Hold her well.โ He knew I was beginning to get tired. I gripped Annora

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. โWelcome home,โ the Luna said. She smiled as she was seated at the extreme end of the room. โWe 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.โHow would I know? I nodded, heaved a sigh, and watched her. โHow have you been since his death?โ I asked and looked around. โHow about Lila? Isn't she supposed to be around? Did she leave the pack?โ I didn't know what to think and so I asked. โShe'll be here shortly.โ 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. โThere's a lot we have at hand before my wife puts to bed.โ He began. โOne of them is coming over

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. โMy lord?โ I walked back to the bed. โAre you in there?โ 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. โI'm here, my lady.โ 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 ย ย ย 150 - The Real Truth
ANNORA โWhโwhat?โ 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? โYou heard me right,โ Sora chuckled. She walked closer and moved farther from me the next time. โYou don't want to know how much hate I have for you, Annora. You don't want to know.โ โWhat's going on?โ โA lot. A lot you don't know about.โ 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. โYou 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?โโWhy not?โ Sora laughed. She looked around the room before facing me again. โWhy wouldn't I have known

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

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. โGood morning, my lady.โ โGood morning,โ I looked up at the maid who was standing before me. โHow are you today?โ โI'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?โ I thought about it. What would I love to eat? โAnything will do.โ I relaxed my back and sat up. โAnything will do,โ I said again to the woman who bowed and tu

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. โDoes anyone have anything against the union between Annora and Alpha Aegon?โ My heart started to beat.

WENDELINE โThat was smooth.โ I walked out of my hiding place. โHello, brother.โ The Alpha only moped at me as though he had seen a ghost and I could not blame him. โYou're not going to stand there and act as though you've not seen your sister who has been away for long.โ 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. โI am so happy to see you, Wendeline.โ He hugged me. I hugged him back. Tears ran down my face as well and we let each other go moments later. โI'm glad you're okay, Aegon. I'm more than glad the man did not touch you.โ 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
