“What am I interrupting? Don’t mind me, I will just drop the cake and leave you to it,” her giggles only made it more embarrassing.“We are not doing anything. He was only adjusting my hair!” My yell was sharp but she just wouldn’t believeHer shoulders went up with a “If you say so,” even though it was glaring that she didn’t buy my excuse.A hot glare was directed towards Bernard for putting me in such an awkward position but he ignored and made matter worse by saying, “I have your permission to take care of her, right?”“Of course! She doesn’t lack money or goods but you know we cannot provide that kind of care for her, right? I will leave you to it and trust that you will treat her right,” she winked at him and rushed out.“Mom!” my temper hit the roof as I turned to Bernard, who was only watching me throw a fit.“Relax! You need to learn how to relax those muscles. They are not meant to be stressed,” his deep voice blared.He moved forward to massage my shoulders but I just threw

|Annabel|Everything happening at once got me on the edge every time. Everything and everyone disgusted me. I kept getting irritated at every little thing for no reason. I couldn’t even control myself or find the exact reason why I kept doing that to everyone. I was on the edge because of the final exams. The final exams signified the end of the years. I could make a free choice but I couldn’t summon the courage to make one.I knew I didn’t want Bernard but I also didn’t have any other way of becoming the heiress if I didn’t get married to him. My dad loves me but not as much as his company’s stock. He would always pick options that would push his company forward. The investment from Bernard’s father was what he kept chewing on, and my mother just loved Bernard even since we met at that resort where his family brought me to mine after getting lost on the beach.“It’s destiny. God decided to bring your man to you at a very early time,” she once told me on the day Bernard’s father propo

We got to the palace just as the Alpha also drove in. We were informed that he had just arrived from a meeting with the Alphas of other packs so he wouldn’t be entertaining any visitors for now since he would have to rest.The Luna was attending to some issues in the court so we had to wait for a bit in the pavilion for her to wrap them up. We were served some snacks and tea while waiting and my father was filling me in on the changes that had been made to the palace’s environment.“The garden is now so beautiful. We got it renovated for the Alpha’s birthday last year.” He told me and urged me to see it before I leave the palace.“The second now has his training center; you know he has to practice and learn with the best martial art teachers now. He will soon be crowned the Alpha so he needs to know everything worthy and expected of an Alpha” he continued and pointed to the right side of the pavilion before adding, “You can find the training center at the side.”He kept telling me sev

As expected, Luna almost drained me with her long and boring talk. She went into all the details of all that had happened ever since I left the pack and how she had been waiting for me eagerly to come back.“You have been waiting for me to come back?” I asked, not sure what she meant by that and she nodded to confirm that she meant what she just said.“Yes! You are my talking buddy so I obviously missed you. Oliver is not around and even if he’s here, he has to train every time. Lucas is not even someone I see at will and the Alpha is busy putting everything in place for the ascension of Oliver once he graduates in a few months’ time. I am so bored, I don’t have anyone to talk to,” her mouth rained down words nonstop.I couldn’t comprehend why exactly she wanted to talk so badly. The Lunas of the pack obviously have their own responsibilities too; why was she behaving like a jobless one?“Oh I see…” My breath dragged as I reached for my neck for a quick scratch.“Do you remember the f

|Oliver|I couldn't get the incident of the library out of my head. I wondered why she was so aggressive about everything and thinks extreme for every situation.She had this aura of insecurity, and it was obvious in her words, actions, and way of reacting to things.“I wonder why she's that way. How was she raised?” I kept thinking about it as I ascended the stairs leading to my room.As soon as I opened the door, Ali showed up in front of me. He was also on his way going out but I just happened to grab the door's handle faster.“Hey! You are here,” his hand flew up in the air before he slowly dropped it when I didn't move an inch or say anything.Ever since that incident, we never talked or did anything together. The room was always quiet, with each of us doing our things separately.I was glad that I didn’t have to listen to him blabber a lot but it wasn't fun either. Even with all that, I wasn't ready to let the issue slide if he wouldn't apologize for feeding me something I never

Everything went back to normal between Ali and me after he apologized. It was as if I had been secretly waiting for his apology. He also suggested that we should visit the hospital again since it had been a while since we went to check on the boy in coma.“We will be starting the final tests soon. I can’t believe he worked hard for nothing.” He sighed as he sat on the bench across the school field.“He’s busy fighting for his life. A school test is not the most important thing right now. He has to wake up first.” I chipped in, and he nodded his head aggressively in agreement before turning to face me.“Don’t you think his parents are being too cruel? What if we call them personally and see what they have to say about his condition? I can’t believe they abandoned him in the hospital and kept sending money over only. That is the highest level of cruelty.” His eyes were filled with tears as he expressed his hurt concerning the situation.He was right, coupled with the fact that none of t

Throughout the trip, I didn’t say anything to her because I was making it obvious that I didn’t like the fact that she followed us. I didn’t want her to repeat the same thing that happened the very first day, and I knew that I had to up my guard around him so he wouldn’t be in danger.Although she claimed it was a misunderstanding, the incident was too vivid to be one. I definitely saw her hand around his neck, and it would make sense if she was trying to end him so he wouldn’t open up about Bernard’s involvement in the incident.Ali chatted with her happily till we got to the hospital and met with his doctor, who told us there had been no big changes ever since we visited the last time.“His parents?”He shook his head, “They still haven’t come to see him in person. His mother only checked him on video call last week.”An unexplainable anger arose from my inside, I was melting with anger as my fist clenched at his revelation. How could they be so cold and brutal? What could be more i

|Annabel|Thanks to Bernard, I lost interest in reading, and my head was filled up with several thoughts. I couldn’t get the fact that he thought he owned me off my head because it kept pissing me off. The random claiming, the stupid assurances he had that I was meant for him just because he knew that he was the stepping stone to my position as the heiress was crazy.My father dotes on me truly, but he wouldn’t hesitate to will the company to someone else if I dared to break off the engagement; he was that brutal. Several times, I had tested the water before the engagement and whined that I didn’t want to be involved with him, and he always retaliated.There was a time we were meant to go on a group vacation, but I refused and pretended to be sick just because I didn’t want to be around Bernard. My father didn’t say much; he canceled the trip and let me be, but I couldn’t go out throughout the entire holiday.“I have a cinema outing with my friends this weekend; can I go?”“I believe

ENTANGLED WITH MY STRANGE MATE 54. NYSSA
“Nyssa? What do you mean you’ll go crazy if you don’t see her? How do you even know of her in the first place? She’s not someone just anyone can come across.” Oliver fired his questions at Annabel, his voice laced with both frustration and alarm.Annabel, still shaken from her dream, barely flinched at his reaction. She had spent the past few days trying to decipher whatever all the dreams she kept having meant, but nothing made sense to her.It wasn’t until that afternoon she finally got a hint of where to start from. The wolf had told her that everything she wanted to know will be revealed to her by Nyssa and she has no choice but to see her, and Oliver was the only one who could make that happen.“It doesn’t matter how I know her. I just do,” she shot back. “I need to see her, Oliver. You have to take me.”Oliver shook his head, his jaw tightening. “That’s not possible.”Annabel narrowed her eyes. “Not possible? You mean you won’t do it.”He sighed and turned away. “You don’t under

Oliver never let Annabel’s coldness get to him. He was just fixated on his own things and prepared aggressively for the final exams. Bernard, on the other hand, was always giving a gift or the other to Annabel so he could buy her love and favor.It was obvious to everyone that she was only tolerating him and he needed him just as he needed her.She was reading in the library when Bernard appeared with a box of chocolates to cheer her on but she was not in the mood to be disturbed, thanks to her dream that had been disturbing her for several days continuously.“Can you get this out of my face? I can’t deal with you right now,” she remarked, pushing it back to him"Oh, come on, Annabel. It’s time you stopped playing hard to get. We will get married anyways so why don’t you start tolerating me?”Those words hit Annabel on the wrong side. She flared up to the surprise of everyone, Bernard included.“Do you think all I care about is the damn engagement to you? I don’t care about you or you
ENTANGLED WITH MY STRANGE MATE 52. ALLIES
For several days, Lisa couldn’t get the rejection out of her head. Nothing was pleasing to her. She refused all the water and food that were served and just got herself curled up under her blanket.Her mother, who was worried about her health, couldn’t bear her daughter sulking terribly because of a mate that didn’t belong to her in the first place.“Are you going to spend all week on the bed? I think you should get over this and move on to the next thing. As long as this doesn’t affect your relationship with Luna.”That only added fuel to the fire. Lisa flew up in anger. Her face laced with dried tears that strode down her cheeks in the past hours.“Do you know what this means? I sacrificed a lot to be by his side. How could he be so wicked? His mate rejected him; did he have to chase her over and over? I am here looking at him so why is he not looking at me too? I want to die right now.” As soon as she completed the sentence, she dived back under the blanket and continued her tears.
ENTANGLED WITH MY STRANGE MATE 51. FRUSTRATED
The late-night silence in Annabel’s room was broken by her sharp gasp as she bolted upright, her chest heaving with each passing second. Her sheets were twisted around her legs, damp with sweat, and her heartbeat drummed loudly in her ears. The dream—no, the memory, as it felt more and more like, was still vivid. She had been standing in a forest bathed in silver moonlight, her hands outstretched as if summoning something. Shadows danced around her, and a voice she didn’t recognize kept whispering her name.But just as she thought she could grasp the meaning, the image dissolved into darkness, leaving her with only fragments she couldn’t piece together. This wasn’t the first time. For weeks now, these dreams had come, each one pulling her deeper into confusion and fear.She threw her legs over the side of the bed and walked to the mirror. Her reflection stared back, but it didn’t feel like her own. Her hazel eyes looked darker, almost stormy, and her usually calm expression seemed ten
ENTANGLED WITH MY STRANGE MATE 50. DRIFT
The corridors of the school buzzed with the usual energy as students prepared for the final stretch of exams. Oliver walked through the hallways with quiet determination, his focus set on his studies. After the whirlwind of emotions and confrontations at his birthday party, he had resolved to put his energy into his academics and let other matters settle themselves. His decision wasn’t easy, but it was necessary.A lot was going through his mind as he found his way to class. So many tasks were ahead of him. Once the final exams were out of the way, he would have to advance to Alpha classes. He would be attending meetings with his father, ruling over some affairs, and learning several things before his ascension in six months’ time, when he’s expected to have found a mate.He wasn’t sure if anything would change between him and Annabel because she seemed to have made her resolve and was firm with it. She suddenly became distant and would not even spare him a glance. The fact that she c

Lisa stood before her ornate mirror, the soft glow of candlelight casting a golden hue over her room. Her emerald gown clung perfectly to her frame, the shimmering fabric accentuating her curves. She adjusted her earrings with steady hands, her reflection revealing a look of determination.Tonight was the council meeting where Oliver would formally address the pack. Rumors had swirled about him confirming his mate, but Lisa dismissed them as nonsense. She was certain that Oliver had no one in his heart, not any she’s aware of. She had worked tirelessly to position herself close to him, earning his trust and proving her loyalty to the pack. This evening felt like the culmination of her efforts. It was the night she would inch closer to her goal."He’ll see it," she murmured to herself, smoothing the folds of her dress. "He’ll see that I’m the one who belongs by his side."With a final glance in the mirror, she turned and left her room, her heart light with hope and expectation.***Th
ENTANGLED WITH MY STRANGE MATE 48. HIS MATE
Annabel sat at her desk in the back corner of the classroom, staring blankly at her notes. The words on the page blurred together as her mind wandered, consumed by thoughts of Oliver. She hadn’t seen or heard from him since his birthday celebration, and the tension gnawed at her. Was he okay? Had the tests begun? The questions plagued her, but she couldn’t allow herself to reach out. Her father’s expectations and Bernard’s constant presence weighed heavily on her.Across the room, Bernard’s voice broke through her thoughts. “Annabel,” he called softly, leaning closer. “You’ve been quiet all day. Are you feeling alright?”She forced a polite smile, nodding. “I’m fine. Just tired.”She didn’t have any strength to fight him. The more she ignores him or frowns, the deeper he would press so it was better for her to just give out the smile he wanted to see.Bernard didn’t seem convinced even with the smile but he left. Later that afternoon, he approached her in the hallway, holding out a
ENTANGLED WITH MY STRANGE MATE 47. OUTCOME
Lucas stormed through the dimly lit halls of the estate, his fists clenched at his sides. The news of Oliver’s steady success in the tests was a bitter pill he couldn’t swallow. How was it possible? Despite his injury, Oliver continued to prove himself, his strength and determination shining through every challenge.“This has to stop, I cannot just stand and watch him take what belongs to me!” Lucas growled under his breath as he entered the servants' quarters. His sharp eyes locked onto a young maid who froze under his furious gaze.“You,” he snapped, pointing a finger at her. “You’re going to help me.”His movement started closing in on the maid who trembled at his presence. He had always been a terror whenever he was around. Everyone runs from his gaze, attacks, or presence because he picks offense at any little thing.One thing about Lucas was that he doesn’t hide his jealousy or hatred for Oliver. He has always been vocal about how he wants the throne and would do anything to get
ENTANGLED WITH MY STRANGE MATE 46. TESTS
The morning sun broke over the horizon, casting a golden glow on the expansive training grounds where Oliver would begin his ascension tests. The air was crisp, alive with anticipation. This was the day he’d been preparing for and the day to prove his worth as the future Alpha of the pack. Despite the weight of expectation, Oliver stood tall with his chin up.He had prepared for this all his life and had come this far not to be intimidated by the scary tests. He just have to do his best and let the heavens deserve the rest.“Do you like your clothes? Or would you like to get it changed?” his attendant whispered by his side but he just shook his head“This is perfect” his gaze fixed on the mirror in front of him.As he adjusted the cuffs of his shirt, the soft sound of footsteps reached him. He turned to see his mother approaching, her presence was commanding yet comforting. Her auburn hair was swept neatly into a bun, and her eyes held a warmth that cut through the tension in his ches
