ALFRED. I stood at the far end of the door that led to my father's chamber with my eyes stretched out a little while I peeped to eavesdrop on the conversation that was going on between Mira and the young maid. From the distance I stood the only thing I was able to see from Mira's eyes was nothing but pain and anger. Mira moved closer to the young maid with a condescending tone of voice, “Will you keep on standing and looking at me without saying a word?”“I.. I.. Was.. asked… as..” the young maid stutters with her words while still making use of her left hand to hold onto Anna who was at the verge of passing out due to the pain she felt on her leg. I watched from where I stood even though I was hiding from Mira just to see what she had in mind to say and how she would react if the maid finally gets to reveal who sent her. She banged her fist on the hardened wall with her eyes turning red and her voice roaring out loud in one accord.“Are you deaf? Do you want to lose your job as
ALFRED. My eyes popped out in shock and immediately I detached myself away from her. I took three steps backward from her as I couldn't wrap my head around what she wanted me to do just to prove that I loved her. “You see? There I have you.” She threw her hands up in the air, shaking her head in displeasure. “I know that you have something going on with her and this is the only justification I needed from you.” Her hands dropped down as she walked over to sit on the bed. My heart and mind was racing with different thoughts and silent voices that kept on whispering into my ears to walk over to Mira and beg her just for her to be at ease with me and herself but there I stood vehemently not willing to entertain any more drama by explaining myself to her. I ignored her rants and silent talks she made to herself as I reached for the door without looking back to say a word to her. “Alfred, for how long do you want to keep running away from your problems without providing a solution?”
ALFREDThe only thing I could feel after hearing the voice of pain coming out of her mouth was regret. I regretted not coming out of my hiding place when I realized Mira was requesting information from the young maid. I regretted not giving her a special room where no one would know that she was in the pack because of the pain she had gone through since the moment she was brought in here. I was weak to the core and embarrassed that I couldn't raise my head to look her in the eyes. The tears gushing out of her face only brought back sad memories of how she felt when she realized that I wasn't going to pick her as my Luna. After so much silence she finally spoke up, “I don't know what might be going through your mind right now Alfred. But, the last thing I'd ever do to myself at this point is to sit down and watch you explain yourself to me.” “Believe me, Anna.” I placed my hands softly on her skin with all sincerity in my eyes as I addressed her. “It was never my intention to brin
ALFRED“Father, are you trying to pull a prank on me?” I stood at the end of the door, fidgeting with my hands and legs. My voice became cracky as I tried to compose myself.I felt the stillness of the breeze on my skin, without my father saying a word. At first I thought my father was trying to pull a prank on me just to see my facial expression and how I’d react but from the look of things it felt as if my world was slowly crumbling before my eyes.There on the floor, my father lay feeling helpless with his two hands widely stretched apart on the ground without him saying a word or moving an inch so I’d know if he was trying to pull a prank on me.I fell on my knees where he lay feeling all helpless with my hands on his chest, “Father, can you hear me at all?” I waited for some minutes hoping to hear his deep masculine voice but I was shocked to see him still laying on the floor without saying a word. My heart began racing and this time around it felt as if my heart was about to ge
ANNAThe day was gradually turning into dawn and there hadn't been any request from Alfred or any of the guards handing me my phone to speak to my kids.I have no idea where they might be or what might be going on in their lives currently and thinking about the whole situation made me feel sick. The last time I managed to sneak in, to place a call to Alpha Mike I could hear the tiny murmur of my little kids in the background. But, for how long will they keep staying with Mason? “For how long will they keep staying with Alpha Mike?” I questioned myself rolling over to the other side of the bed with my body feeling restless while I pondered about the whereabouts of my kids. I know I can't just fold my hands without doing anything to see my kids because I know they all missed me. I was kidnapped away from them without giving them my final words or sealing their cheeks with a warm kiss. “I need to see my children!” I cried out loud in frustration with my voice almost at the top of the
I didn't bother to process the words that came out of her mouth when she mentioned my kids before I gravitated to her and punched her in her face.“How dare you say such a thing about my kids to my face?” I grabbed her hair from behind and pulled it tightly. “You are just making a fool out of yourself, Anna. The earlier you realize that if I can't have you then I'd have your kids the better for you.” she groaned in pain quietly still standing on her truth regardless of the pain she felt at the back of her head. I kicked her back with my other leg which wasn't bandaged at all until she fell on her knees. My hands went through all her hair and took it in one grasp. I pulled her head backward with one grasp so she could feel the heat coming out of her mouth while I spoke to her. “You dare not lay your hands on my kids. If you try to touch them then be ready for war.” I warned her vigorously and from every word that came out of her mouth she could see how serious I sounded. “If it's
MIKEThe day was gradually turning into dawn and I hadn't received a phone call from Anna after the last call that she called me in a panic state. I wandered around the room thinking about her current state of condition. My phone was sealed tightly in my hand as I paced back and forth waiting and hoping for Anna to give me more information. “How did she get kidnapped? Who exactly orchestrated this?” I questioned my Inner child with my face glancing at myself in the mirror. Hearing about Anna's kidnapped weakened everything in me and gave me a major reason to be angry at myself. I picked up the mirror as I spoke to myself, “Damn! I've been so foolish all my life.” “Why wasn't I there to protect her and fight for her from getting kidnapped?” I looked at myself in the mirror fighting so hard to get an answer. I walked over to the window looking out to check if I might at least get a glimpse of her to see if by chance she might show up. I looked from my left down to my right and the
MIKEAt this point, I was running out of ideas while still thinking of the next step to take. I don't want to give that little boy more space to come over to my face and spit out rubbish just because he thinks I'm behind his mother's sudden disappearance. Even though I'm trying so hard not to pop it to his face that his sweet mother has gone missing yet he keeps stepping on my nerves. Out of frustration I went over to my side table, picked up my phone scrolling through my contact list just to see if I still had Nico's number saved in my phone. “Where the hell is your number, Nico?” My voice was growing so loud out of frustration at not being able to get a glimpse of Nico's contact. My lips were tightened on my mouth with my teeth clenching on the soft surface of my lips while still scrolling effortlessly to locate Nico's number. “I think I need to calm down for a minute,” I muttered to myself tightly closing my eyes, inhaling and exhaling repeatedly to calm my nerves down a littl
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
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
