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
Mira.“Answer me!” screaming out loud back at him I increased my grip around his neck while a part of my palm clung unto his collar bones, “ Where did you take the kids? I need to know thermir whereabouts as soon as possible, Zed?”“Indeed!” he gave a sharp nod that reclined with the word that came out of his mouth, “ You need their address so you can go after them and poison them or have them killed, right?”“Enough of the damn question and tell me all that I need to head about the kids whereabouts. I won’t stand right here watching you waste my time on things that aren't necessary at all. For the second time Zed, Where are the kids?”“If I may ask you, Mira. What makes you think that I have the location of where the kids might be? You only walked up to me with mere possible assumptions without any proof and backing and here you are holding the collar of my shirt asking me about something I have no information about.”Raising my eyebrows to a stretchy length,I hissed so loud at him,
MIRA. I tip-toed my way from the maid's dressing room where I stayed to protect myself from getting caught or seen by anyone over to the kid's room but to my surprise I was unable to see any of Anna's kids in their room. I was shocked to my bone marrow to see the room as clean as hell without traces of them in the room. I was unable to spot some of their clothes and their bags and that made me begin to ponder if they were still living in this pack. “Where exactly did Alpha Alfred put them in?” I said to myself packing back and forth right in the room to check if I could find any traces as to where their next location might be. “Damn! Why did he move them to another location without my notice?” I pulled over some of the boxes that were compiled fully to check if I'll be able to find anything but there was nothing to be found. “Fuck! What is your damn plan, Alfred? Why the hell do you keep sabotaging my plans?” I spoke into the thin air addressing him as if he was present in the ro
ANNA:“A knife?” He questioned with a long expression feeling a little bit lost as to why I needed to get a knife as soon as possible, “Why do you need a knife, Anna? If I may ask, what do you need a knife for?” “Do you want your father to be back to life or not, Alfred?” She fired back at me with a long face. “I want him to be back to life, Anna. But, the only thing hindering that is the fact that you want neyo get you a knife.”Her breathes were beginning to tension up as she inhaled and exhaled repeatedly struggling a bit not to pass out. I continued feeling a bit angry, “Take a look at the time it's barely tension minutes to midnight. There is nothing left to be done that would help me bring my father to life. I know he is struggling to fight his way by not getting into the outside world but it's already late.”“I don't know what you are talking about, Alfred.” Her wrist got tightened around my father's grip, “You have to get new a knife, Alfred. We have barely ten minutes and
Alfred. My fears were surpassing her willpower and I couldn't hide it anymore. I was having mixed feelings of both nervousness and eagerness to have her treat my dad before it clocked midnight. No matter how hard I try to hide my desperation, it keeps glaring right in front of my face that she could see it right in my eyes. Every single opportunity I had, I made use of it to set my eyes on the clock watching it tick one after the other.“Do you want me to do anything for you before you attend my father? If you need my help as long as it can hasten the speedy recovery of my father please don’t hesitate to let me know, Anna.” I looked at her in shock and fear of what was ahead of me even though I didn’t know if she had the full power to heal my father.She ignored my question, heaving out a deep sigh of relief as she hunkered beside my father where he lay lifeless, his eyes fully closed as his head was raised facing the ceiling directly as if he was staring at the ceiling.Her hands mo
ANNA. He looked at me feeling so surprised that I would end up showing at his father's ward even after I told him that he should shut the door and don't bother coming back.I could see the shock in his eyes from the way his eyes gawked on me and I know that if I don't end up speaking up one more time he might end up still staring right back into my eyes without saying a word. “I can try to heal your father but…”“Yes! Yes!” He responded without being patient enough to listen to allow that I have to say.“Once he gets better believe me when I say he has all the answers you've been seeking for. You can get to ask him any question in your mind to ask.” he doubled down his respond walking closer to me with his legs wobbling in tension. He held unto my hands and tightened his wrist around it, pulling me closer to have a better look at his father who is fighting so hard to recover. “Please, Anna I know that I have wronged you in so many ways but this is me appealing to you so you can a
ALFRED. My mood that was in high spirit suddenly went down the drain the moment I heard her response towards my father's health. At first I thought she would at least be less considerate and ask me how I've been coping but she wore in a hardened heart today and didn't bother looking at me. The only thing that she said was for me to close the door. “Gosh! What have I gotten myself into?” I threw my hands up in the air, while I rested my back on my father’s ward door as I lamented so badly. Everything was draining me so badly as if care isn't taking properly, I might end up losing my mind and sanity. I can't continue to watch my father groan out in pain while I fold my hands without doing nothing. “Common, Alfred!” I called out my name aggressively, “Why are you talking as if you haven't done your best. You've literally summoned all the best healers and they said there is nothing they can do about it. So, why are you talking like a failure when you aren't one?” My inner voice crawle
Anna.He stood right there at the entrance of the door and couldn’t say anything at all. Right there, at the entrance of the door, he was struggling to take a step forward for he knew that there was no way I’d ever think of my mother not to make mention of asking about her whereabouts.Taking a step further, he initiated his question to me, “Anna, are you sure everything is okay with you?” his voice heightened with a bit of concern.“Do I look like someone who something isn’t okay with? I only asked for my mother and there you are asking me if I’m mentally stable?” I bashed him so hard as if he wasn’t the same man I fell in love with the moment I laid my eyes on him.He heaved out a deep sigh of relief, kicking the chair that wasn’t too distant away from where I sat down so he could settle down.“I see no reason why you are here if you have no response to the simple question I asked you, Alpha Alfred. I need to know where my mother is and how I can be able to see her.” Doubling down o
MIRA. Locking the door from behind was a very difficult thing for me to do because the door makes a loud noise whenever anyone closes the door but I was being extra careful and considerate hence preventing myself from getting into trouble by shutting the door forcefully. My breath seized with my eyes fully tightened as I managed to shut the door from behind without making any noise, “Thank goodness!” I heaved out a deep sigh of relief. Turning my head from the front and back, I was confused on the next step of action to take. I was left with two options of going to pay the kids some visit or heading over to Alpha Logan's ward to finally end his life before things begins to get better for him. Just when I was about to take a step further, I heard the chattering of some maids coming towards my direction, “Damn! Not this time around!” I said to myself looking for a hiding spot to hide myself in until the coast was clear. My eyes were restless as I searched around every corners of t
MIKE. The night that passed was indeed a cold one for me. The coldness of the room was one of the major reason I woke up quite early today. I had a sleepless night and it was due to the fact that I haven't gotten closer to the reason I came into this pack. I don't know if it’s because of the lies I had been brainwashed with concerning the fact that Anna has something to do with Alfred that’s making me slow down a bit. After everything I had done for her she still has the effort and guts to cheat on me but not with any other person but the same Alpha that rejected her and called her all manners of name. “Anna be ready to dance to the tune of your music.” I muffled out my words as I shook my head and tried rolling over to the other side of the bed in a way that i wouldn't have to wake Mira up. My eyes rested on the ceiling and it was clouded with different thoughts and plans of getting myself out of this charade. I need to act fast and at this point I knew it upon myself that delay
