Anna rolled over on her bed, groaned, and covered her eyes with her palm, shielding her eyes from the morning sun that shined mercilessly on her face through the curtain gap in the window, she opened her eyes groggily feeling very tired and sleepy as she stared at the ceiling blankly. "My Plants!" She exclaimed suddenly and jumped out of bed onto her feet, throwing away the bed covers in the process and rushing out of her room in nothing more than the cotton night dress that she wore before going to bed last night. She stopped short on the corridor and blinked twice at the unfamiliar surroundings, she looked around, still not remembering where she was or how she got there. She walked forward barefoot scratching her slightly itchy and messy bed hair, her mind still foggy from sleep. She came to a stop at the top of the stairs and looked down sleepily, just at that same moment, Myron, who was running up the stairs drenched in sweat from a morning routine workout, stopped short in his
Breakfast was as uneventful as it had been the previous night, other than Erika and Winston who joined them halfway through it, no one else came. Erika chatted nonstop, while the others listened and commented once in a while to her, no one missing the sight of Winston carefully selecting her meals and watching over her in a loving way that could make any woman envious. He carefully told her to eat slowly whenever she chewed too fast, and to finish chewing before she spoke, whenever she spoke with food in her mouth, causing Anna to smile at them. This was the life she had imagined for herself, a life filled with love, laughter, and the care of her mate, just like in the fairy tales she had read, but instead…, she glanced at Myron, who did not even say a single word to her or anybody as he ate and sighed. If he was mateless, then maybe she would have tried to make them work, after all, he was handsome and all, but there was a mate, and the thought of her existence was like a cloud ha
Myron rushed up the stairs, taking it two at a time and soon, he was on the fourth floor. He walked past his room to the room at the far end of the corridor with a frown on his face as he wondered why she chose that room when she should be beside him. He shook his head, pushing away the strange thoughts, he didn't need her by his side, he already had Avi, his mate by his side. He told himself, he was just here to make sure she stops being a nuisance to his friends as he should since he was the Alpha. He convinced himself and took a deep breath as he came to a stop in front of her door. He knocked twice but received no response from the other side of the room, he could feel his wolf perk up with curiosity and desire to meet her again and he couldn't help but wonder if she was asleep already as he didn't hear any movement from her side of the room. He raised his hands to knock again but heard Anna’s voice from the other side of the room. “Just come right in, Erika, no need to be so
Avi lay on her side seven-by-seven bed watching Myron sleep with fascination. Since she had been a little girl, since she had first seen him, and since she had been informed she would be his delta, he had been the man of her dreams and the only one who could grant her heart’s deepest desires. Whether it was scaring all the nosy women that surrounded him when they were growing up, whether it was to train so hard that she got his approval, whether it was to make women he looked at twice disappear, she had done all those things and she did not regret a single one of them. How could she, when all her hard work paid off when the man she did all those things for was laying right here in her bed? He had come to her. The corner of her lips raised in a broad smile as she pulled her hands from under the quilt and traced the bridge of Myron’s nose with her index finger gently, a smile of fascination and worship for his beauty playing on her lips as she stared him, she moved closer and perked
A broad smile appeared on Anna's face as the wind blew against her face, sweeping tendrils of her hair into her face. The wind was slightly chilly and Kraktos body felt warm against her skin as he sprinted through the forest, she clung onto him a little tighter enjoying the warmth of his furred body and subconsciously finding comfort from his scent. As exciting as the ride was, she couldn't see much, the forest floor through which they ran was dark, and the vegetation was sparse with large canopies of trees hanging over their heads making it even darker under the moonless sky, giving one the illusion of things lurking in the dark. Anna closed her eyes, pushing away all the thoughts and worries from her head, her homesickness curing in an instant letting her mind calm and allowing her to enjoy the relish of the ride. She didn't know how long Kraktos ran for or how long she slept for but halfway through the ride she slept off, by the time she woke up, the sun had begun to rise, it wa
Anna opened her eyes a few hours later, the day was bright and the sun was up in the sky, she sighed with lack of interest and sat up on her bed, just as she did, she heard a knock on her door and looked up. "Come in." She answered, the door opened and the only other person who seemed nice to her aside Erika walked in. She was Marionette, the omega in charge of cleaning her room. "Good morning princess." She greeted Anna, addressing her in the familiar way the omegas in the palace used to greet her, smiling as she stared down at Anna who was lying in bed. "Good morning Marionette,” Anna sat up, “I told you to stop calling me princess. Just Anna is fine." Anna chirped as she got out of bed and pushed her now loose hair away from her face. She walked towards the bathroom, while Marionette smiled without giving a response. Anna's scolding was the same every morning, whenever she walked in and greeted her with the title princess, Anna responded and informed her to call her by her na
The rest of the meal went uneventful, maybe for the others, but Anna was fuming and she couldn’t even explain why. Somehow, her eyes seem to always drift to Myron, and seeing him focused on Avi while they gave a public display of affection made her mad. Every time she saw them her heart clenched a little tighter, even her wolf snorted at them and gave snarky comments once in a while.Why was she like this? What was happening to her? She wondered with a frown and stared at her slightly shaking hands. Why was she so mad, she doesn’t even care about the Alpha. She had her own mate… The moment her heart went to her mate again, it clenched in pain and she almost felt like she was going to suffocate. She needed fresh air. She dropped her cutlery and wiped her lips, trying to act as calmly as she could.She stood up and left the dining room, walking out directly almost as if there was someone after her, not giving anyone a chance to say a word to her, she couldn’t afford to spend one more
Avi walked into Myron’s office and was a little surprised to see Myron staring out the window in a daze. His back looked tall, his shoulders broad but also lonely, almost as if the burden of the world was weighing him down, but he was still her man, she thought. Her mate, and she was the woman privileged to stand by his side."Hey, baby." Avi cooed as she wrapped her arms around Myron’s waist from behind, burying her head in his back and breathing in his scent deeply. Myron pulled away her arms from around him and stepped away without even looking at her, he walked back to his desk and started sorting out some letters. "You should be at the arena." He informed her in his usual detached way and she frowned a little wondering what was wrong with Myron. They had spent the night together last night and even though he was gone by morning he had still left a note informing her to resume her duties. This morning at the dining room he had been so nice to her, nicer than he had been in the
The thunder rumbled as heavy rain poured upon the Blood Moon pack but the heavy rain did not affect the underground pack prison located on the far west border of the pack. The corridor was silent and empty as a warrior walked briskly towards a cell at the far end of the corridor. He knelt calmly when he arrived. It’s been three weeks since Myron left the pack with his mate and Collins left in search of his. Alpha Joel was busy and seemed to have no plan to settle the matter of the woman in this cell. With the look of this, it seems the plan was for her to rot in jail. “Delta Nicole! Delta Nicole!” He whisper-yelled and the woman with messy hair, a dirty face, and tattered clothes woke up from her slumber. She looked at the unfamiliar guard and wondered if the Alpha had finally decided to kill her, but his next words shocked her. “Miss Avi asked me to escort you out.” Her eyes widened, Avi? Avi came for her? She is still alive? What took her so long? “Hurry.” The guard whispered
Nicole smiled with contentment. How dare Myron think he can walk out of this easily? “Enough!” Myron roared and everyone shook with fear. “I am stepping down because I am ashamed to be an Alpha of a group of people who are more loyal to the traitors than their Alpha!” The pack members shared a confused look, not understanding what he meant but still feeling guilty at the same time. Myron didn’t care about them at all but turned to beta Dustin. “I only have some advice for you elder Dustin, I think my cousin Collins is the best for the Alpha’s seat but if Nicole doesn't agree to it, she might as well do what she pleases with the pack.” He said and everyone bowed their head in shame including beta Dustin. In other words, he was saying he didn't care about them anymore. Everyone was controlled one way or the other by Nicole and they knew it in their hearts. "I have no desire to be Alpha either, " Collins who had been silent the entire time finally spoke up, he glanced at Dustin and
The pack, however, didn’t plan to allow Myron or Collins to fight for Anna either. Bright and early the next morning, every member of the pack had gathered under the instigation of the elders, and the pack hall was filled up. Anna looked at Myron worriedly as they dressed up. She didn’t know why they had gathered but she was scared, she didn’t want to leave him and she didn’t want him to abandon his pack for her either but she knew she could not convince him on this matter.“Don’t worry. It would all be fine.” Myron said as he walked to her and rested his arms on her shoulders. She looked up at him.“Myron, I’m scared,” Anna told him and he smiled sadly.“I know, but I am here with you. I would never leave you.” He assured her, took her hand, and led her out of the house. But she was not scared for herself, she was scared that after today, he would no longer be an Alpha anymore. He would lose everything he worked so hard to create. Her grip in his tightened.“Myron?” she called.“Hmm
Myron’s ride only arrived at the pack later that night, Anna was fast asleep against his shoulders again, except this time it was due to the emotional drain from the battle that they had experienced on the way back. The moment they crossed the border, the news that the Alpha was back spread around the pack rapidly and everyone breathed a sigh of relief even though they were not so happy, especially when they knew he came back with Anna. The lingering scent of blood was still in the air around the pack from the fight the previous night. There were not many casualties but a part of the hospital was damaged. It was a good trick, if they had panicked last night it would have been terrible. It was a good thing that they were up to the task, if not only the goddess knew what would have happened if they weren’t strong enough and the Alpha wasn’t in the pack when it was under attack.It was all because of that princess. How can a woman like her who is the heir to the werewolf throne cause mo
Not far from the warehouse, the car conveying Myron and Anna's car was approaching, they had left the highway about an hour ago and turned the shortcut road to their pack, hoping to get there by nightfall. Anna was resting her head against Myron’s shoulders, fast asleep while Myron had a protective hand around her shoulder. “Alpha, there is a roadblock ahead.” The driver quickly informed Myron before he came to a stop in front of the fallen tree. Myron frowned and looked at the fallen tree in front of them. He felt it was odd for this road to have a fallen tree, but looking at the root of the tree, it seemed obvious that it had just fallen, probably due to weak roots, he thought.“Let’s get it out of the way.” He informed the driver before waking up the sleeping Anna who sat up and made an attempt to follow. “No, stay in the car.” Anna nodded before resting her head against the window on her side of the car. The two men walked to the tree and attempted to lift it off the road togeth
Anna woke up with the tickling of her nose, she wrinkled it and rubbed it with the back of her hand twice, attempting to adjust her sleeping position to a more comfortable one in the process when she found that her body was not just sore all over, she was also held in place by a heavy force. She opened her eyes groggily and stared at the enlarged and smiling face in front of her in a daze. Before her mind cleared, Myron kissed her cheek cheerfully, “Morning.”She smiled, “Good morning,” She stretched her arms lazily like a kitten and Myron chuckled as he stared at her. It was the first time they had shared a bed so harmoniously. When they shared a bed in the days before the ball, Myron always snuck into the bed in the middle of the night and snuck out before she woke up, missing the opportunity to see this cute side of hers. Seeing her like this now made him happy and content, he indulged the urge to perk her lips which left her looking more dazed. He roared in laughter at the sight
Collins stood in front of the glass plane of Myron’s dark office and stared at the sleeping town. It was past midnight and the office was dead silent except for the ticking of the clock on the far end of the wall. Collins had been busy putting things in the pack in order since Myron left in search of Anna. He didn’t need further instructions, from the moment Myron issued the order he had been expecting for a long time, he knew that Avi and her mother had finally touched Myron’s inverse scale. Conspiring to get Anna kidnapped was not something that was past them, both he and Myron knew this. Myron’s order to arrest everyone who had a hand in Anna’s disappearance was just a coded word for saying ‘take them down’.Since then, he had been super busy, getting all their minions that he and Myron had been silently watching for the past five years and forcing them into confessing their evil deeds, even the elders who stubbornly supported Nicole were nabbed. It was just a pity that he could n
The moment Myron’s teeth touched her blood and she was marked by him, it felt as if his heart and soul were loosened from a shackle, the scent of her filled the air, his nose and lungs and he took it in with pleasure. Even touching her sent electricity down his nerves, it felt as if he was alive, and his excited wolf came to the surface forcefully.He pulled away from her in shock at the way he felt, but when he looked at her, he saw, it was not just him, she felt the same way he did. They stared at each other, confused at first, but it didn’t take long for the realization to dawn on them.“Mate!” They both echoed in surprise.“But how?” Anna was even more confused. She had always been certain that Avi was Myron’s mate, so what was this? How can they suddenly be mates?Myron didn’t have the answer to her question, even though he didn't understand what was going on, he knew it was different. Different from how he felt around Avi or any other woman. He had always been drawn to this woma
Myron stopped in his tracks, looked up at the blue sky over him, then bent his head and sniffed the floor continuously for the scent of the men he sought. It had been three days since he left the pack and had gone in search of Anna alone in his wolf form.He had neither rested nor slept and had constantly been on the run, had been hungry, and had been ambushed by rogues but he didn’t give up. He couldn’t give up until he found Anna and brought her back home safe and sound; and he could say he had been making progress, so far he found the hidden place where these men had stayed outside the pack before they moved and he had followed them closely with the residual scent they left behind, which had been the major cause for his delay apart from the various ambush. Following the scent of a bunch of wolves that had passed by a place days ago was not an easy fit for him, but he still achieved it thanks to his Alpha blood. If only he knew Anna’s scent by heart, if only her scent wasn’t myster
