Ann povHe stood up immediately and cursed when he looked at the clock."Fuck, we overslept; I have to get going," he said, kissing my cheeks, but I pulled him back."Stay there; they have so much to worry about; I doubt that they will be out of bed now.""What are they worrying about?" He asked me."Something big that you do not have to know," I said, smiling, shaking my boobs, and enjoying the wag. His eyes followed me like a teenager, not seeing boobs for the first time."Ann, what did you get to do this time? I demand to know," he said with authority, but I started laughing because we knew who had the authority here."Listen, I said that you do not have to know; I will give you your fondest desire, for your son to rule, so do not concern yourself with how I achieve it." He said he was issuing a command, then he nodded."I was only looking out for you; I don't want us to be caught."I smirked, "Of course, so you can leave now; I need to get some things
"Where are you going now?" I asked Hayden, who stood up from the sofa where he was watching cartoons with Elijah and Lily, as soon as his phone chimed."Some rogues were discovered on my borders; I need to go.""Can you make it back for dinner on time?"He shook his head. "I doubt it, but I will try my best to be back for the festival tonight. Your stylist will be here to get you ready, so you don't have to worry about anything.""I think it was a small affair; why would I need my stylists?""It is a small affair, but the pack members still dress amazingly in it. Ann usually gets dresses custom-made for the occasion and flown over here."My eyes widened, and I shook my head. "Then I should not go. I am not prepared, and I don't have any custom gowns.""All your clothes are custom-made, but I already instructed Crystal and Regina to get one while they were here and some diamonds to match."I smiled and said, "Thank you. But we could have just stayed at home and saved you the money you j
ANA POVI heard my phone ringing, and I looked at the number, and it was not someone I knew. So I did not pick it up in case someone was tracking me. Maybe they found Simeon, but then my phone started to ring again.So I angrily picked it up and said, "Who is this?""It's Simeon, Ana. I have called you for some time now, and you were not picking up.""You fool, why are you calling me with another number? Don't tell me you have gotten yourself caught.""No.""Good, So how did the plane go? Did you get her? Is that why you are off the grid?'"No, the plan failed. Sam is in New York, and he somehow managed to get there before everything. He massacred everyone and took the girl and one of the men as prisoners."My pulse quickened, and I almost died after what he said: Simeon always knew how to hire fools, just him.""And you are just talking to me now because?" "Sorry, Ana, but I tried to remedy everything by sending someone else to kill them all by bom
ALEX POVWhen I woke up again, I was swaddled up with bedsheets, and someone was in the room with me because I could smell the scent of the person.I inhaled closely, and it was Hayden, but something was off, and I had a bad headache."You are awake," he said, then pulled me up and kissed me, and when I looked around, there were no photos of us at the wall.""Where are we?" I asked him."At the spare room beside the bathroom, I did not want the kids to disturb your sleep because the doctor recommended that I let you sleep the spell of your system."I pushed my hair from my face. What spell?""You don't remember how you tried to tear my clothes off in front of everyone at the festival," he said with a smile, and my eyes widened."Shit, did everyone see that?"I nodded, and her cheeks turned crimson. "Did you find out who gave it to me and how?""No, there was nothing out of the ordinary that happened through the camera. Did you leave the house yesterday
Cecelia povI was waiting on this stupid and dirty path again. Since I got to shadow pack, because of this stupid girl, I have done a lot of things I would never ordinarily do. Mosquitos were biting me again, but I could not leave; instead, I was sitting here and waiting for that girl named Christina again. She was running late again.From afar, I saw her. I pretended I did not see her and headed to the bush."Cecelia, Cecelia." She called and ran after me, trying to stop me, but I continued going. When I got to where I wanted, I grabbed her and then slapped her twice. One on each cheek."What did I tell you about being late? I could kill you right now for leaving me in the cold again."She shook her head and said, "I'm sorry I got held up in traffic when I went to the pharmacy." "I'm tired of stupid excuses, bitch," I yelled, and I slapped her.She winced in pain, and I shot her a daring look to hit me back if she could."What are you going to do, bitch?" I yelled, daring her to do
Alex pov"Wait up!" Lily screamed at Elijah while running excitedly behind. "Catch me if you can!" Elijah chuckled and continued running deep into the woods. "Wait for me, Elijah.""Slacker is the loser," Elijah screamed as he continued running. A sense of happiness welled up my stomach as I watched them giggling and playing. For some insane reason, I feel excited about this vacation, if I am allowed to call it that. Hayden suggested we drive to the beach house, but where is the fun in it if we all get cooked up in the car and before you know it, we are already here? "Dad, Elijah won't wait up for me," Lily said to Hayden, with a hint of sadness in her voice, "Darling, should we tell him who the boss is?" Hayden asked, and he picked her up on the ground. "Yeah!" she screamed, chuckling. I took out my camera to take a picture of this father-daughter moment when Hayden began running with Lily sitting comfortably on his shoulders. "Dad, that's cheating." They all laughed while El
Alex pov"Lily, you are already running late; eat your breakfast and stop poking Elijah," I said and then tapped her."Yes, mommy, but she poked Elijah anyway, and Elijah pinched her."I give up. If any of you aren't done by the time I am done, then you will have to get to school by yourself," I said, and I started eating.Due to the free days Hayden took, he had left early in the morning without breakfast to meet up with his workload, and since their father was not here to rein them in, they thought it was okay to give me a hard day. And I had already been feeling dizzy for a few days now.Shantel is sick, and I did not trust anyone with my children when Shantel was not there to supervise them. But they were not easy to control, I told them to bathe while I cooked, but when I finished with it and entered their room, they were still in their clothes and playing in bubbles."Elijah, stand straight," I cautioned, then tied his shoelace. "Mom, Daddy, makes it more cool; you did not even
"The fuck," I said and sat up immediately. Hayden must have set the alarm to wake me up; I turned it off and then laid back down. I was so tired, and my body felt like a train had run over me, but when I looked at the clock, it was already eight in the morning.I looked at my side, and Hayden was no longer there. When I listened, I did not hear any sound from the twins, which also means that Hayden or Shantel must have already sent them to school.Hayden was out again. He was so busy with a new project and had to work for the time he took off, so he hardly came home in time. Last night I noticed when someone opened the door and came in, but I was too tired to get up, so I just laid there while he got into bed.Claire was going to come to the pack tomorrow, and I have not talked to Melinda and Hayden about my plan. I needed both of them for my plan to work. I managed to get off the bed and headed to the children's room to make sure that they were not there and that someone remembered
