Anna had a sweet smile on her face as she hugged the pillow on which she laid tightly, she slowly opened her eyes and stared at the scenery of the room in which she slept last night. She had a really good dream, one where she had been woken up in Myron’s arms and him bringing her breakfast in bed. After that, they went on a walk in the hidden garden together. It felt so nice. Her eyes cleared as she reminisced about the dream only to find out that she was lying in her room, not in Myron’s room where she had slept the night the previous night. Her smile dampened at the realization, she wished he could just let her wake up in his room with her by his side or in his arms. Wouldn’t that be so nice? She didn’t like the fact that he brought her here acting as if they had something to be secretive about.But then again, if he had brought her here when he woke, he must have watched over her too, just like he used to do those times when he came in the disguise of his wolf. She giggled foolish
Anna stole glances at the silent Myron from time to time as they made their way towards the dining room, he seemed to be wrapped up in his thoughts.“Are you okay? Did you sleep well?” She asked after a few minutes and Myron looked up at her with a frown, he didn’t understand what was wrong with her. She had rejected him and his feelings last night and now she was showing care for him? What was she playing at? Even if something had happened between them last night that he could not remember, was it enough to cause such a big change in her? Was she going to abandon her mate for him? Before he could allow himself to think too much, he felt a warm and soft palm on his head making him look up, a stunned expression on his face.“You do not have a fever,” Anna said with a smile as she stared into his eyes while standing on her tiptoe. “That’s good. I thought I would have to ask the cook for another bowl of hangover soup today.”“Hangover soup?” He asked“Yeah right, you do not remember, y
When she left the hospital, she went straight to the secret garden, spending the rest of her day there. Actually, that wasn’t her initial intention but she found that the rare middlest mist flower that she planted seemed to be dying after being abandoned for a few days so she spent the rest of the day nurturing it in the hope of saving the flower. By the time she was done with it, it was time for dinner, she looked at the darkening sky and sighed. Today wasn’t anything like she had imagined at all. Instead of getting closer to Myron, she felt they were drifting apart a few feet.Still, she hurried back to the mansion, but even when she hurried to her room, changed her clothing, and came down for dinner, Myron wasn’t there and neither were the envoys who had kept the mansion bustling for a few days. She stood in the empty dining room, her heart feeling hollow and she was not sure why, was it because the envoys were not there or because Myron was not there?“Is there a reason why the
Myron sat in his office and stared at the group of old men and women who had walked into his office bright and early this morning. He knew why they had come but he wasn’t in the mood to deal with them, he hadn’t slept a wink last night, and neither had he gotten any work done. All he had done was sit in his chair and stare at the tea and snack Anna had brought until dawn, even when the tea went cold and no longer emitted vapor he didn’t try to salvage it, he just stared at it. Even now, the tea was still sitting on his table untouched. It was barely six in the morning and the cleaners weren’t there to do their jobs yet but the elders of the pack had gathered in his office. He wondered if they were so excited to come to him that they couldn’t sleep. He glanced at the tea on the table and sighed. Not touching it had helped him conclude that he needed to stop coveting what was not his and could never be his. The thought of that was enough to settle his troubled heart and silence his di
Nicole’s mouth dropped at the words she heard, “He really said that?” She asked as she glanced at her daughter who was staring at her with curiosity.After spending the night in the woods a few days ago, they had gotten back on the road, except this time they drove their car to the nearest airport, ready to take a flight back home directly but their flight was delayed by a heavy downpour that had begun the moment they arrived at the airport, leaving them stranded there for the past five hours.They were just about to give up on traveling back today when they received the call from the elders. Nicole hung up the call, a confused look on her face.“What is it? What did they say? Did something happen? Is Myron okay?” Avi asked with worry.“Myron swore that he would never mark her,” Nicole murmured in disbelief then looked straight at Avi. “Myron swore that he would never mark her Anna!” She spoke loudly this time and Avi’s eyes widened.“What? Myron swore he would never mark Anna? That’s
Anna stared down at the forest from the top of the cemented railing on which she sat. It was just like the time when she came to the pack for the first time and was rejected by everyone, except now, she didn’t mind their rejection, just the acceptance of one person. Her heart was hurting non stop because the very person she wanted to hold onto actually rejected her. She couldn’t believe that the same man who had professed love to her some days ago would turn around and swear that he would never mark her. She didn’t understand? What she had done wrong, what went wrong? Was she that despicable?If she was, why then did he ask her to give him a chance to win her heart at the ball? She just couldn’t understand. Anna screamed in her head while sniffing and wiping the tears that had slipped out of her eyes. She had gone to see Myron yesterday morning. She thought after the kiss they had shared, their relationship would automatically take a leap and progress from there. She had thought th
It didn’t take long for the whole mansion to find out that Myron had left the pack for a visit to a neighboring pack to help their defense system which was rather surprising for everyone as it was the first of such visits. Even when invited on such visits in the past, Myron always declined or sent Winston who because of that was strictly known to be in charge of such things.Thus the amount of invitations to other packs decreased over the years, but now he went without any scruples, any wise person would know, he agreed because he wanted to take a break from the pack. The most surprising thing was that even Collins and Winston didn’t know of his plans to leave the pack until he left, neither did they know that there was a pack in need of Myron’s help. They shared a confused glance at the fact that Myron had abandoned the pack without telling anyone anything.“This is beginning to get me worried,” Winston said with a sigh while Collins frowned. “Something is not right about this and I
Anna’s explosive mood towards Erika the day before made her conclude that Anna was at a time of her life when she wanted to be alone so no one noticed her disappearance until the very next day and the one who brought everyone's attention to Anna was none other than Winston. He had heard the most absurd news from his contacts in other packs and had been receiving more calls to confirm if the rumors were true.He was so shocked that he ran to find Collins and even Collins was shocked by what he had heard.“Who do you think could have spread such news?” Winston asked in agitation as he paced about Myron’s office while Erika and Collins stared at him, a look of worry on their faces as well.The news Winston had heard was simple, “The present heir to the throne was an unmated female, and whoever marks her and becomes her mate was the one entitled to the role of next werewolf king.” This was the most choking news in the realm. Just a few days ago, they had all converged in the pack and had
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
