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
“What if she left the pack herself?”Erika suddenly asked when she saw the elders leave. They have been staying in Myron’s office for hours waiting for news concerning Anna’s disappearance and trying to reach Myron whose number was not reachable. All they could do was hope that he heard the news already and was on his way.Collins looked at her with a frown, “What do you mean?”“You know, Anna has always stressed that she wanted to go in search of her true mate. Especially now that Myron has rejected her, I was wondering if that’s what she finally did if she went in search of her mate.” Erika expressed her thoughts.“If that is the case, then it is more dangerous. If she falls in the hands of those greedy Alphas she is going to need our help people.” Winston informed them.“That might not necessarily be so,” Collins said and they all looked at him waiting for further explanation. “If she had left herself it might not be as dangerous as we think. The princess is no longer a mysterious
Erika couldn’t sleep overnight, she was not just worried, she also blamed herself for Anna going missing, maybe if she had been more observant, Anna wouldn't have gone missing, she told herself many times. She finally closed her eyes and slept off from fatigue when it was almost dawn, she slept so deeply she didn’t know when Winston came back or when he left at dawn.She stared at the eye bag under her eyes with distress and sighed, applied some foundation to cover it up before Winston freaked out, then left her room. She headed for Myron’s office where she knew everyone would be. That place had become their usual gathering point since Anna went missing, she wanted to know if they made any progress after searching through the whole pack and woods all night.She opened the door without knocking but what she was met with saw were not just Winston and Collin’s sullen faces but also Avi’s presence. Avi smiled at her and Erika felt her skin crawl as if she was being stared at by a viper. S
