Dawn came suddenly for Annalise and she felt a bit guilty for having a good night's sleep. The sunrise was a bit warm and she could tell it was going to be a wonderful day. Even her wolf howled with excitement. " Stop it Mona" she said. she was excited about turning eighteen in less than two weeks now but Mona was more excited about it than herself because it meant so much to her that she would find her mate. Annalise doubted that seriously and felt bad for Mona. She's just a wolf. What does she even know. She thought.She had barely finished with the thought when a force pushed her toe and hit her across the wooden table just by her bed. " God you're evil!" she screamed. "Just get out of my head"."Why don't you make me?" Mona asked adding a laugh that annoyed Annalise to her soul."Rather fiesty for such a young lady , aren't you?" It was Damian and he stood right behind her. How long had he been standing there. she wondered. Was it long enough to think that she was crazy because sh
Annalise P.O.V How could be just come in without knocking or seeking permission. This man certainly lacked all manners that guided human existence. The worst thing would have been him seeing me naked right here and now. " Hurry up" he said and then he told me about Linny. Wasn't Linny the one I spoke with just last night? How come she had the flu? Something just didn't add up and his words were making no sense to me. To cut it short, this Damian of a man tortured me until I couldn't take it anymore. Last thing I rememberd was that everything went blank and dark. Damian P.O.V I was scared for the second time in my life. The first was when I watched my dad bleed out the last drop of his blood and my mum taken by the head with the spear of our enemy pack. The Bay pack.I reached close to her soft chest to listen to her heartbeat. The softness of her breasts got me but that was not important to me right now.With my super wolf hearing, I heard her heartbeat. They were quite irregular
The IV cord connected to her wrists and the monitor that kept beeping was something that was now sounded familiar to his ears. Damian had her moved back to the house where he felt she would be safe. He didn't want anyone figuring out if she was a human and in their midst. Linny came around occasionally to attend to her. Annalise soon became aware of her environment. as she woke up to find Linny sitting close to her on a lower stool. " How are you feeling?" she asked. Annalise could see the curiosity in her eyes. She wanted to know what had happened. Damian came in and Annalise quickly shut her eyes. Linny caught on quickly that she did not want to speak with him."How is she doing?" he demanded , his gaze shifting from Linny to Annalise. "I think you should call the doctor" Linny said instead carefully avoiding the real question and daring not to mention that she had been awake just a while ago. "Has there been any sign of her waking up yet?"he asked.Linny thought for a while. E
Linny came with the pail and asked Annalise if she still needed to go. " No thanks " Annalise responded. She was not used to being looked after. it was always the other way around. She looked after her siblings and many times than most, she also looked after her parents. "Are you sure you don't want to use the pail?" Linny asked. If anything were to happen to her , she would not know what Damian could do to her. "I'll be alright, I can assure you" Annalise replied and came off the bed holding on to the IV pole. It could move so she held it and moved slowly with it. Linny watched her in secret admiration. How could a seventeen year old be so tough, she wondered. She also admitted to herself that Damian would find it really hard to break this girl.Annalise held the IV pole and suddenly, everything spun around. She knew she had to stop herself before she couldn't anymore.She finally managed to raise her skirt up and urinated. The feeling was weird and satisfying at the same time.She
Annalise was fully recovered now to an extent and Damian thought that it was going to be just right for her to continue school at the pack highschool for wolf kids. He was still concerned about her not being human schoo since he couldn't smell her to know for sure.He demanded that he was going to drive her himself and that was just what he did. To Annalise , the ride to school was such a bore. She found it rather boring and much too quiet . If only Linny had gone on this journey with them. It would have been a totally different experience from what she was having now. " Do you like music?". Damian asked "I personally haven't met anyone who didnt" Annalise replied.Damian paused for a second before responding. "Well how many people have you met in your entire existence?"This question made Annalise furious. "Why don't you just stop here and I'll take the rest of the journey by foot". The question hung for a while and there was no answer given to it. Damian only increased the volume
The sound of heels clicked and the familiar fragrance hit the nostrils of everyone present. "Babe , I've missed you so much" Phyna said as she threw her arms around him. Damian always thought that the amount of perfume she applied could last twelve people for a week. It was choking and his eyes burned. " What's the problem babe?" she demand, her lipstick thick and Damian could have sworn that they did seem bigger. Linny was there just in time to receive her coat as she flung it in her direction without caution and she caught it too just in time. "Welcome , Miss " Linny said.Phyna snarled at Linny. She wasn't playing nice at all with her because she knew what she was useful for. "Come on Phy" Damian said trying to calm her down. Phyna was sure she knew what had been happening all along between Damian and her but while Damian acted like nothing was wrong whatsoever, it made Phyna all the way mad. How could someone be like this. Fine she wasn't his mate and had rejected hers because
Annalise walked back from school. Damian wasn't driving her to school these days and one could just tell the reason why. The reason could only be best interpreted because his girlfriend was around. Or his pretend girlfriend as Linny put it. "Aren't they mates?" Annalise had asked Linny the previous night. "They aren't but for one reason, I'm glad that she is back" She replied.Annalise arched an eyebrow "Why is that, like why should that make you glad, she is a monster"Linny laughed "She is not that bad. She just hates some certain things, you do that and she will detest you for life" They laughed.Annalise smiled at the memory. The truth was they both Knew that they didnt for separate reasons like Phyna. And like a little witch , there she was in the book, swimming with her boyfriend.Damian was surprised to see her." you're back already?" he half asked and half demanded."School isn't forever" Annalise responded. only that this response was one she had made in her head to Mona
Damian wasn't concerned about what Annalise was doing with her time . Not that he wasn't but he acted like he didn't. She spent most of her school mornings walking down to school."Don't expect to be treated a princess around her" he had said to her the last time she waited for him to drive her down to the schoolWalking to school for the first time made her realize that it was quite a distance."Isn't that quite the thing becaus you see the only princess around here is me."Phyna said smiling like an evil witch. "Yes darling. you're the only princess" He said and they began kissing right in front of her.Annalise was disgusted. Why couldn't they just get a room!That morning was the most frustrating of all. she didn't make use of the bus because Damian, her supposed Guardian had not made arrangements for any movements of such.She was at least grateful for being allowed to continue schooling. The breeze that morning was so cold that she shivered. She wished greatly that she could ju
The black wolf kept on drawing near but he had stopped running now. Linny was very sure that it was a he because there was no woman in this world that would look so evil.He was big but not as big as Damian's wolf.Linny felt trapped. The pain jolted through her body as she lay there with her head half raised. Damian wasn't her alpha and there was no way he could sense her in danger.His dark fur was close enough to her heels and she buried her face in the dry leaves that were scattered all over the floor by the wind. Tears filled her eyes and poured out on her face. The wolf sniffed her repeatedly and howled out loud. He walked away from her.Mate! her wolf screamed inside her head.Linny was surprised but she was still very much in pain. Why was this wolf walking away from her instead of doing the exact opposite which was ripping her apart. They were alone. it was just herself and it. Her ankle failed to heal quickly just as that of a normal werewolf should. She couldn't because s
Linny sat in the passenger seat with h Damian behind the wheels. He looked so pissed. " Where do you think she must have gotten to?" he asked.Linny kept quiet, it was obvious that the question he was asking wasn't for her to answer.Annalise was a nice girl and wasn't going to do anything to hurt herself. Linny also wanted so bad to tell Damian to let loose a little and just keep cool, only that she couldn't. Phyna had stayed behind it was typical of her, always being the one to give birth to confusion and chaos and when it was time to stand, she always wasn't anywhere to be found.The ride wasn't a long one. Damian knew too well that she had no place at her parents house. There was basically no where that she could turn to. His knowledge about this was used to full advantage.Linny signed as the car parked in front of the school. Damian heaved. He was struggling to make up his mind on something that was troubling him at the moment."So what now, I just go in and report that she is m
The sound of howling was attractive and also a form of signal to warn the pack of danger or to signal pain or injury. Zen had almost lost his way back to her when he heard the howl. He could recognize the howl of a werewolf over that of a common wolf any day and time. It came again, this time it was stronger than the first one. it had to be that of a new transitioned. Annalise!Quickly , he hurried following the sound and where it had passed. He was gone for a while when the familiar scent began again. it was Vanilla mixed with chocolate and there was a little hint of mint. What he couldn't understand about the whole thing was that nobody lived close enough to where he was to conclude that it had been someone else cooking up something.At last he found her. She was sitting down at the same spot he had left her. "Tell me you haven't been here since I left about thirty minutes ago" he asked.Annalise smiled. " I haven't " she responded."What have you been up to?" Zen asked when he sa
Zen found himself walking towards the woods. He was sure that he had heard the voice of someone in pain The voice also sounded like it was that of a female. From the scent , it wasn't a human so he felt safer to go find out. The scent grew stronger as he drew nearer. He followed it and it led him on until he came to stop in front of a huge forest tree. It was so thick that it hid whoever was behind it completely from him. " Hello?" he called. There was faint breathing and he could hear her heart beats. They were irregular. "Its okay, I won't hurt you"Annalise froze where she was. That voice was fucking familiar. How did he even know she was here , like what the hell was he doing here.A twig broke as he tried to come closer."Don't even think about it!" she yelled covering herself up the best way she thought she could.Zen thought the voice was quite familiar."Annalise?" he called. "What are you doing here?"She had gotten some bruises under her feet from running through the tree f
Mona ran until she could no longer and luckily enough for her, she had already arrived school. Annalise was exhausted by the time her wolf changed shape. Her clothes or what were left of them had become rags. She just had to stay close to the trees and stay off where she could be seen. Zen had arrived at school by this time and was looking everywhere for her. "Have you seen Annalise?" he asked from one person to the other but got the same response all together.Where could she be, he wondered. Could it be that Damian had made her walk to school again?Suddenly he felt rage. It was very unlikely to have a rage against the alpha.He couldn't reach her but she had once given him Linny's number. it was the only option he had now to make use of. Linny had her phone close to her most of the time and this wasn't the first time that Zen had called her on it to ask about Annalise's welfare.Linny was walking up the stairs when she felt a familiar vibration in her pocket. She never let her pho
Zen woke up and sat in bed. His alarm set up by his mom had done the actual work. He grunted. What he hated was birthday parties and bashes and this year he was just so certain that he wasn't getting any. "How about some breakfast?" His mom asked. Zen shook his head. "I'll pass, I don't think I feel hungry right now". His mom understood what he was going through. He wanted to see Annalise again although he wasn't certain arvthis point if he had feelings for her. He also didn't want to get any developed as he hadn't found his mate yet. Although there was one thing for sure. He wanted to invite her over tonight to have dinner at his place.Zen's mother Kira, who was also Phyna's mother was thrilled at the news that he had wanted to invite a friend over for dinner."You know , how about we have a family birthday dinner?" she asked assuring him of how fun it was going to be.Zen hesitated. "Mom , I don't want -"Kira was going to have none of it. She ensured that there was enough pressure
The air was gentle and strangely satisfying. Annalise never felt more alive than this although she was missing a very important part. it was her birthday today.She hurriedly had a bath and wore her usual dress, the best one she could find and also the only one she had. Linny was the only one who wished her a happy birthday in the household."Aren't you going to have breakfast before going to school?" She asked Annalise shook her head. "I wouldn't want to be late" she replied. Linny was having none of it. "Come in , it. your special day. your birthday . Have some breakfast".Annalise thought about the offer. she also remembered how weak she had felt walking home that other rainy night because she hadn't eaten enough food to give her the right amount of strength she needed."Okay" she said and went with Linny to the kitchen.Damian didn't see the need to hire more domestic staff and only hired one cook because Phyna complained once about Linny's cooking. The malicious comment had Linn
The rain had increased but by then Annalise was fast asleep. . Linny had her covered up in warm blankets for the night. Poor child. she thought.Annalise slept throughout the night but it was Damian who couldn't sleep. He kept on turning and tossing. This was disturbing for Phyna who loved her full slice of sleep." Damian" she screamedHe kept thrashing and his body was all sweaty. He always slept bare and although Phyna always complained. She somehow had to get used to it.She finally got tired of complaining and just ignored him there in the bed. Damian finally fell asleep and Phyna thought this was the perfect opportunity to use in paying a visit to her self acclaimed enemy.Annalise was getting worse and Linny could feel a rising fever threatening so she decided to quickly hurries to the kitchen to get some ice as she may have been having a headache too.When she came out of the room, she could have sworn that she had seen a figure move in the darkness. "Who's there?" she demand
The road back was wet and It wasn't too long before Damian could see her. She was all drenched and shivering. This caused Damian to pull over right in front of her. " Get in the car" he ordered. Annalise looked at him, her eyes appeared to be wet. Had she been crying. "I am almost there" She replied.Damian knew this meant that he had to come down himself to get her.She struggled for a while. " Why don't you just leave me alone?" she screamed. There was nobody there now and the roads were rather lonely."I won't say this again, get in the car Annalise" By now ,he as nearly as drenched as she was and that was exactly what Annalise wanted.Finally she got in after much debate.It was too cold already so he simply turned on the heat which felt great as it warmed her up and left a great feeling. It also wasn't long before she fell asleep.Damian POV:I quickly glanced over at where she was sitting and noticed that she had fallen asleep. She looked so small and felt so fragile.Never h
