MIKE:My eyes stood upright at the sound of the notification that came through. I didn’t want to focus my attention on the fact that it might be a notification from Anna after the last text I got from her left me afloat.“I hope it’s something positive,” I whispered the words under my breath.As much as I’ve always been an optimistic fellow I still find it so hard to be positive about Anna’s dilemma. Everything about her sudden disappearance kept me abridged.“Common Mike you can do this!” a sharp tiny voice flew past my ears, summoning up the courage to reach out for the phone.Like the flash of light, I ran to my desk, picking up my phone to open the text message that had just popped up on my screen earlier.My mouth fell down in shock, “What! How come?”My legs were suddenly getting cold and numb at the same time, finding it so hard to stand for that long just to absorb what I’d just read. I reached for my bed to sit, “What exactly is going on?” my hands ran through my hair figurin
MIKEThe tightness of my arms rested on his chest, waiting for him to answer the question I had asked him earlier. “Answer me! Who are you?” I pulled him closer to me and pushed him back harder than before, my heart palpitating. I watched the unknown figure who was fully clothed with black from his head down to his toes, brought out a heavy envelope from the back of his clothes and handed it over to me without saying a word. “Envelope? For what?” I queried him, eager to know more about why he handed me an envelope. The unknown figure muted himself without saying a word to me. I couldn't even see the person’s eyes to know who I'm dealing with. “Can't you…” the unknown person pushed me off without hearing me complete my question with so much power,running so fast without turning his face back to see if I was coming from behind. I held the envelope in my hands looking at it for minutes,”What could be in here?” I pondered out loud, turning the envelope back and forth, “Who might ha
MIKE:“How do I present this news to Anna? What will she think of me?” I wailed out loud in distress my hands still placed on Sarah’s unconscious body. “Who did this to me? Where exactly are the kids? Where have they gone to? Who took them?” I bit the underneath part of my lips, fighting back the tears from breaking out. “I think it's earlier I report everything that had just happened right now to the police. It's best if they follow everything up right away.” Slowly I lifted Sarah’s head and placed it gently on the sofa. Calling the police and reporting them was the best decision to take. I knew that my brain hasn't comprehended all what happened but I still need to take action the earlier the better. I reached out to the telephone that was hung in the wall and called 911. My hands were vibrating as a voice behind the phone call responded to my call, “How may I help you?”“I've been..robbed and my kids are missing. I need an ambulance…right away.” I stuttered with my speech, spea
ALFRED:The day slowly started drifting to dawn and Anna was no where to be found. I don't want to believe what the guards told me about her. No matter how bad they want me to feel about their conviction I just feel a certain kind of way inside me that there's no way Anna would have left the pack without being caught. “No! Anna, can't leave here just like that.”Muttering the words quietly under my breath despite the fact that my heart was racing so fast.I've searched every corner of the palace from the hut where I last saw her and now to the garden but she is nowhere to be found. If her hearing about my plans about her children is enough reason for her to hide in a place that's more secured for her then I wouldn't burge further having known that I know her location.But, for the fact that she had to run away to hide without giving anyone of my guards her location is one of the major reasons for me to be mad about her decision. “Hey! Come over here!” I yelled at the innocent guard w
Anna. The harsh weather improved greatly as I hid in a corner near the garden so. I wouldn't get caught by anyone working for Alpha Alfred. I've been hiding there for the past two hours as far as I could remember and no single guard or anyone who has been frolicking round the corner and axis of this palace has seen a glance of me. “It's best for me to hide in here until the coast is clear so I'd pave a way to leave this place.” Examining the roads I muttered to myself, my eyes moving from the left down to the right to see if I can find a way out. I was ready to get myself out of this pack to go protect my kids at all cost no matter if it ends up costing me my life. I was sick and tired of playing Alpha Alfred games with him without finding a way out for myself. “Even if I don't end up finding an escape route while I'm still in this enclosed corner I don't mind.” I said to myself, reassuring myself with optimism. I knew trying to escape here wouldn't be an easy one for me so I wa
ALFRED:“Will you just go ahead to pick up that call when we aren't done having our conversation?” Mira fired back at me her eyes scavenging for the attention she craves for. “Shut up! Mira.” Taking a few steps away from her I went back to my chamber holding my phone closer to my ears, "Can you just keep shit for crying out loud and allow me to be?"“How about you tell that loser you keep chasing and roaming around the pack for to keep shut because I know you aren't talking to me in such manner?” Her fist were tightened so hard, “You keep raising your voice at me but never have I for once caught or seen you raising your voice at that weak omega you keep messing around with.”I hung up the call as soon as I was done answering and drifted forward to Mira, “What did you just say, Mira?”“You heard me right, Alfred.” She jerked my shoulder off with hers, “I know you don't expect me to keep repeating my words.”“Mira, What the hell is wrong with you? Why have you allowed jealousy to weig
ALFRED.“Can I have the goods right away? “ My eyes scanned the room still checking if anyone was spying on me, “I need to leave this place right away.” I continued with the urgency obvious in my voice.I was ready to pick up my goods and head back to the car without having to go back and forth with any of the men. From the way they kept on looking at me, it was very obvious that they didn't call me here to smile their teeth at me.“We can’t give you the goods boss without you paying up our price?” one of the men kept a straight face as he addressed to me.Another walked right behind me poking his face to the left side of my ears, “I hope you are fully aware that we don't joke with our money, right?”The whole part of my body vibrated as I heard the deep sound of his voice, “How about you type in your account details into my phone so I can wire the payment to you.” I stretched out my phone to them, waiting for one of the men to punch in their details.The three men gathered right in f
Mira followed me closely, her voice rising through the corners of the room as I made my way out to go visit my father in his chamber. Ever since he was bedridden and I had a little clash with him I haven't been there for him. I haven't spent enough time with him even though I'm meant to be by his side. “Alfred, stop feeding me with silence and answer me right away.” Mira grasped my arms and pulled me forcefully from behind. I flung my arms away from her grasp and kept on heading to my fathers chamber. I wasn't ready to engage in her endless conversation. Most of the time I tend to wonder if she wasn't tired of nagging at every given point she has with me. She ran from behind hurriedly to stand in front, “Answer me and stop treating me like a fool, Alfred.” her hands carried the weight of her waistline as she placed it on her hips tapping her feet continuously. “Mira, I don't want to indulge myself in your games.” I took a quick pause, rotating to face her, “As you can clearly see
Alfred. “Thank you very much, Alfred.” She stood up from the floor where she was kneeling and wrapped her hands around my body. “Take it easy on me, Anna. Don't you know that your body stinks of dirt?” He shoved me off from the embrace I had on him, giving me a weird stare. “I'm sorry, Alfred. I did that out of joy and I had no idea that you'd end up feeling irritated from the way I hugged you in such a manner.” She felt a little bit dejected from the response I gave her as she moved back her steps. “It's fine.” I tried to maintain a smile but it wasn't genuine, “Guards!” I pointed my hands to the three guards who were standing at the entrance of the door. “Take this kid and meet us in the car right now,” I commanded them, waiting for them to act according to my words. “Okay, Alpha Alfred.” They rushed over to the kids lifting them from the bed as they all strolled out one after the other reaching for the car. I wasn't fully convinced by Anna's words but at the same time I just
ANNA. The guard went silent without saying anything to me. He couldn't even offer any help. All he was good at was standing at the entrance of the door monitoring the kids and I. “Answer the damn question I asked you, Dumb ass.” I almost spanked his tiny little head when the guard who had followed me from Alfred's chamber to where my kids were being kept held my hands from behind. “Leave me alone!” Twisting my hands off his grip I kicked him on his legs pushing him away from my side.“Can you please be calm, Anna? You are making it unbearable for us to think of the best solution to come up with.” He pleaded with me trying to calm me down with a sober tone of voice. Pointing my index finger to his face I gave him a stern warning, “Don't you ever tell me to calm down.” I took two steps closer to the guard, “I know you haven't trained a kid before not to make mention of kids so you really can't relate to the way I'm feeling right now.”The guard was ready to come for me because of ho
Anna:Alfred was fuming in anger as the guards dragged Mira out of his presence. He knew that she was going to lose the respect she had for him so it's only best he shun her up by treating her just the same way she'd love to be treated. I was about to say a word to him but I paused my thoughts assessing him for a while just to know the exact way to shoot my question across to him. I didn't want to act as if I was truly happy with the way he had just treated Mira but in the deepest part of my heart, I was more than glad that he disrespected her in front of me and the guards. “Thank you for standing up for me, Alfred.” Summoning up the courage in my voice I finally acknowledged his effort. “It's nothing, Anna. You of all people are meant to be aware that I don't stand up for nothing.” cleaning his mouth with the back of his hands he settled into his couch. “Does that mean if it wasn't me you'd have still stood up for the person?” I asked him, eager to hear his response. “Yes, Anna
The room was silent as both Mira and Alpha Alfred were shocked to their bone marrow to see me standing at the entrance of the door. It was never my intention to come back to Alpha's Alfred room, not after the altercation I had with him earlier on but as I passed his chamber I boldly heard their conversation and I was furious to the core to barge inside. Kicking the door with my left leg to shut it so no one would be able to hear our conversation, my hands were placed on my hips fuming in anger. “What the hell are you doing in here, Anna? What right do you have to barge into my chamber when I'm having a discussion with Alfred?” Mira took three steps closer to where she stood. Her eyes assess my body from my head down to my toes. Poking my hands directly to Mira's face I stood up for myself, “I don't want to care what right you think I don't have but matters that involve my kids…” I took a deep pause, beating my hands heavily on my chest, “I'm definitely going to stand up for them.”
MIRA:I began searching around every corner of the pack to find Anna and Alfred so I can at least always get to hear their plans and movements before they execute. My legs, hands and body began to ache as I continued searching around the pack without being able to locate where Anna and Alfred might have been.“I can't give up now!” I shook my head, placing my index finger into my mouth.I’ve always been behind Alfred ever since I became his Luna helping him out in his daily activities but ever since Anna stepped her feet into this pack I have been unable to track his whereabouts.Alfred has become secretive in every of his endeavours making me feel as if I'm not a member of this pack. Most times I sit down and ask myself if I'm his Luna because his actions recently have proven otherwise. “Alfred, you are mine alone and I won't sit down and fold my hands while another person snatches you away from me.” “I don't care how difficult it may seem for me but I want you to know that I'm com
ANNA:I inhaled and exhaled out loud simultaneously before summoning up the courage to break the news to Alfred. I didn't want to wake his father up so I limped out of his chamber quietly without making a noise. Grabbing the doorknob I swung the door widely opened and was surprised to see that Alfred was no longer standing at the entrance of the door. “Where could he have gone to?” biting the under part of my lips I asked myself. I increased my steps and began searching for Alfred. I wasn't expecting him to have left the side of the door without hearing from me. “Who knows maybe Mira nagged his little ass out of the day?” I chuckled out loud in mockery imagining how the nagging scene would have been like. “Alpha Alfred needs your attention in his chamber.” One of the guards quickly rushed to my face, bowing his head down in honour before passing the information to me. The sudden show of respect I've been receiving lately from the guards after I had complained to Alfred of how t
Anna. I hurried up to put on my slippers and walk closely behind Alpha Alfred. The moment I stepped out of my room I was hearing the loud murmur of guards and servants who are meant to be attending to their duties gossip about me. They couldn't hide their curiosity as they were too focused on how I and Alfred were going to. “What do you think might be going on between Alpha Alfred and Anna?” One of the maids whispered into her colleague's ear curious to know more. “I guess we never can know until their secrets gets exposed.” her other colleague who was so keen into her conversation gave her a swift response her eyes scavenging the outfit I had on. "But, how do you think Mira is going to cope when she gets to find out that Alfred and Anna has something going on?" another maid curiously asked her colleague. "Well, I guess we'll never know until it comes to pass." another responded to her hissing at the sight of me.I wasn't even convinced as to what they were saying or the little
Anna:“Alfred, please leave my kids out of this situation I am the one you should come for and not my innocent kids.” I crawled over to where he sat without an iota of remorse, my head touching the tip of his feet while I begged him. “The ball is in your court, Anna. Do the needful or allow your kids to pay for it.” He kicked my face off his feet.“Guard! Take him away.” He commanded the guard, instructing him to do the needful before he ran out of patience. I stood up from where I had knelt down, rushing to hold down the guard from taking away Andy from my presence but all my efforts felt wasted as the guards pushed me over to Alfred and shut the door behind me. “Andy! Andy! No!” I cried out my eyes, cleaning the mucus that was dripping out of my nose with my back hands. “You can't do this to me, Alfred. What exactly have I done to deserve this?” I stood up from the floor challenging him face to face as I questioned him. “Like I said earlier, Anna.” taking some steps ahead of me
ANNA:The room was a little bit calm as the only thing I was able to hear was the loud sound of Alfred's breath. His heart was pounding so fast and at this point I didn't even care if he was going to be harsh on me or keep on playing the games with me. “Answer me, Alfred!” I sat down on my bed, cracking my palms together. “Anna, you know that you aren't meant to be raising your voice at me.” He took a deep pause recounting his words, “I only came here to have a peaceful conversation with you and here you are acting like the loser that you are.”“Oh wow!” I exclaimed in joy, shaking my head in dismay. I poked my face closer to him so he could feel the anger in my voice, “Why then do you need my help if I'm a loser, Alfred?” My eyebrows were raised at this point searching for answers in his eyes. “Anna, The truth still remains that I need your help!” His back was fully rested on the couch he sat on. The moment he realised that I was a little bit calm he continued, “My father is si
