ALFRED:“Father!” I called out his name in shock, feeling surprised to see him standing right at the edge of the door. “What exactly are you doing here?” I asked him eager to hear his response because the last time I checked up on him he was still at his recovery stage. “I'm trying to do what you can't do, son.” He coughed out his words weakly, as he placed his hands on the door knob using it to find support. I felt cold shivers around my spine as he responded to me, “Father? Are you sure you don't want me to handle these things myself?”“Anna, please take your things and that of your siblings inside your room?” he stammered with his steps ignoring the question I asked earlier while he held down the door knob as a support. Anna grabbed her kids around her legs and looked at Alpha Logan with a demeaning look, “You want me to stay here after I've promised Mira that I'd keep to my words? Do you want her to come for me and my family?” Tears welled up in her eyes as she broke down in d
ANNA.“Father, you can’t leave me like this. I need you right now and you know that we still have a long way to go so please wake up and tell me that you are still here with me.” Alfred held unto the tightness of his father, his mouth closer to Logan’s mouth as he brushed his breath against his father’s face trying his best to revive him up from his conciousness.His tears and anger in his voice touched my heart. Even though, I was still mad at him and had no love interest for him I still couldn’t stand the fact that he was in pain and I’d only be a wicked person to ignore his feelings and pain. Alfred was hurting and I wasn’t blind to not see it. In his eyes I saw the only true and authentic love he has for his father.Picking myself from the floor with my kids as we were all slightly injured, I dusted the soft dusty particles that hung on my skin and that of my kids while I Sandy and Mandy assisted in picking the bags from the floor, “Mum, we have to leave this place right away!” Sa
MIKE.He looked at me and in his eyes, I was able to see his fears and the shock that I was able to overpower him with the strength in me. I pressed further my hands holding down his neck so tight waiting for him to give me a response before I unleashed my power on him. “Do you want me to disfigure your face before you answer me?” I said to him, moving my body closer to him so he'll be able to feel the tension in my voice.“Anna is in safe hands, Mike. You don’t have to be harsh on me because you need my help for you to be able to see her,” he responded with so much confidence in his voice.I knew he was right about his words because there is no way i'd see her without his help. Through his eyes, I was able to feel the coldness of his breath on my skin oozing out for every word that kept finding its way out of his mouth, “Take me there and before you take me to where she is I want you to tell me who the hell are you and how were you able to track my number.” I pushed further with my
Anna:A wide smile played across my lips as he kissed my neck, his hands caressing my body. "Alfred..." I moaned as he swiftly undressed me, taking a position on top of me.I had just gotten back from the hospital where I found out I was three weeks pregnant. I wanted to tell him, but he didn't even let me speak before kissing me and taking me to bed.Well, the news could wait. My Alpha was more important. After a long and intimate moment of sex, he pulled out, and we fell on the bed, heaving and panting heavily."That was sweet," Alfred chuckled, his loving gaze piercing into my soul. My cheeks turned a shade of red as I glanced away in shyness, curving my lips.I just didn't know why I couldn't stand his ever-alluring presence. He was just too perfect.But wait... I checked my neck and saw no mark, leaving me lost and confused."Alfred, why didn't you mark me as promised?" I asked, my brows knotted.Alpha Alfred Sanchez was my childhood friend, and we have known each other for a lon
ANNA Four years later. "I would love to follow you to work, Mum," Andy murmured, wrapping his little hands around my legs. His lips were pouted as he stared up at me while I transferred his meal into his lunch box.I let a cheerful smile beautify my face. "Don't say that, okay? You have to go to school and don't worry, I will make arrangements to change your school, okay?" I reassured him as I bent down to his height level. He nodded his head."But promise me that you will tell me who my dad is if I should go to school today?" he said, and my smile began to fade. The warmth in my eyes dimmed, replaced with a cold gaze. Not today. Why does he always bring that up?I can't tell him that; over my dead body will that happen. I would rather lose my wolf than tell him his father's name, let alone take him there."Daddy Mike is here!" Mandy, my daughter, yelled as I turned to look in that direction. I saw her running towards him, almost falling as she hugged him.Seeing him brought a sm
_ALFRED:I stared at the phone in my hand, contemplating the situation. "Kidnap her and let's end thisconversation. She must be in this pack before midnight, understood?! If you know that you value your job that well then do exactly what I ask of you." I had yelled at the person on the other end before abruptly ending the call. I quickly slid my phone into my pocket, my heart racing and panting as the thought of Anna ran through my mind."Kidnap?" a voice questioned from behind me. I turned around and saw my father, Alpha Logan, entering the room with his walking stick. He was visibly sick, so I was surprised to see him here."Dad?" I called out, rushing to his side. I placed my hands around his neck and positioned one of his hands across my shoulders, ready to assist him in walking. However, he forcefully shoved me away."How dare you son?” He fired back at me, distancing himself away from me.“Dad..I don’t know what you are talking about. Is…there..any..” I stuttered, acting as i
ANNAMy vision blurred as I stretched my hands, signaling the dawn of a new day. The bed feltincredibly comfy as my hand landed on a warm face. Furrowing my brows, I smiled, thinking it was Alpha Mike since he always showed up in my room when I was asleep.As my eyes cleared, I looked at the person in front of me. Jerking immediately, my eyes widened, and I sat up straight, my face furrowed upon seeing Alfred there.“What the hell are you doing in here? Don't tell me you slept in this room,” I asked, shifting far away from his side. He scoffed as he stood up from the bed, stretching his hands. Oh no! He had truly slept here. I calmed down, thinking about my kids. I didn't want to be harsh in my words, so he wouldn't refuse me.“Get me out of here, please. I need to leave,” I said with a worried voice.He smirked, walking closer to me, bending his head as I turned my face away. “As far as I'm concerned, you're not going anywhere.”I was on the verge of speaking when Mira stormed i
ANNAThe room was silent as the only thing that I was able to hear was the sound of Alfred's endless footwalk and the heavy panting that was breathing out of his nose. I could see his dead eyes glancing at my body from my head down to my toes but I didn't flinch at all. He grunted and kept on stomping his feet on the floor as if he had a lot to say and from the way he kept on behaving I could see that he had a lot to say. “Anna, I want you to tell me the truth.” He finally spoke out for the second time. This time around it felt as if the world was about to crumble right in front of my eyes as I heard the question escape out of his mouth. I was dumbfounded and speechless at the same time lost in between what it's expected of me to say or what I need to say.My head was thrown to the ground with my mouth fidgeting, fighting so hard to say a word to him. I saw him walking right in front of me with his hands tightly squeezed with his phone that he had on me. He made use of his index

MIKE. “Not too fast Mike.” He took two steps behind, holding his gun down to his sides. Inside of me was boiling in ardent anger and rage. It felt as if I wanted to tear down every living cell in my body just to get the face of the person talking behind the mask, “Do you have the information I need based on the thing you sent to me?” I asked losing the patience in me. “Why are you so in a haste to force some words out of my mouth, Mike? Aren't you meant to be patient because I have what you need?” He asked, his voice clumsy and a bit serious. I groaned out loud, feeling a little bit under the weather as I wasn't comfortable with the question he was asking me and the way he was behaving towards me. I felt like something was off about him but I wasn't sure if my instincts were right or wrong. “What do you want from me? Did you call me here to prank me or what?” My eyes stared back at him coldly, challenging him back with every fiber of strength in me. “It seems like you don't want
MIKE. A cold shiver ran through my spine as I heard the command from behind. The voice was very deep and audacious and from the way the words sounded and came out of his mouth I knew from that moment that he wasn't joking at all. “Mike, are you okay?” The detective's voice echoed in the building from the phone. My hands were vibrating as I grew in cold feet. I was desperate to fill him up with some details but at the same time, I didn't want to be the reason why Anna would lose her precious life. “Mike! Tell me where you are and have me come pick you up immediately!” He commanded from the umpteenth time jeering me up to do the needful. The way he was sounding over the phone I could hear the thick sound of desperation coming through the phone. He was over ready to ensure that I was in safe hands and protected at all costs no matter how bad the situation was. I gulped down the thick saliva hoarding in my throat and didn't give him any response or make any sound to his hearings. “
MIKE. The building was looking so tattered and for the fact that it was an uncompleted building, my heart skipped for a minute. I was scared for the fact that I might be endangering my life for what was not worth it. I didn't inform my security personnel and shared with them my location so they could at least have a clue of what was happening currently in my life. “I hope this sacrifice I'm about to take just to be sure that I can get some information about Anna and where she'd have been won't end up costing my life,” I whispered under my breath, not certain about what the outcome might be. “Fuck it! I'll do this with my blood, sweat, and tears and it will work out fine.” I blurted out my words with a positive mindset as if I reached for the stairs. Walking to the floor where I was asked to meet him was a little bit deadly for one to pass through for the stairs wasn't balanced and for every step I took the rakes kept on shaking. My heart wasn't rest assured at all with the drastic
Anna.At this point, I was ready to do anything that she wanted me to do. My clothes were drenched in unending tears from seeing my kids being threatened by Mira and the fact that I’ve never seen them cry so badly also affected my mental health. The last promise I made to them before I went missing was that I’d protect them at all costs because never will I sit and watch my kids being treated like a slave when I’ve given them the life I once dreamt of. I don’t care what it’ll cost me or how it’s going to affect me but I was over ready to get things done and protect my kids before anything happens to them. Since, when they were brought in here they’ve been rushed from one hospital to another and that wasn't the life I envisioned for them. I braced myself up and asked her one more time, my feet stomping on the ground in agitation, “Can you please get to the point and stop wasting my time?”She heaved out a deep sigh, licking the dried corners of her lips, “I can see that you got some
ANNA. “You don't have to yell at me before I tell you what my conditions are, Alfred.” she shunned him up moving sluggishly to the other side of the wall with my kids. “Mira, can you just tell me what you want from me and allow my kids to go?” I beckoned on her with the last strength in me hoping that she'd at least reconsider and hand over my kids to me but Mira kept proving stubborn. “I never knew a day like this would come where you'll beg me like this, Anna.” She laughed at me in misery, “I thought things always work out for you but I guess one will never know until the table gets turned.” Alfred lashed out loud at her, “Can you stop beating around the bush and go straight to the point?” he was already angry and was fuming in anger as he couldn't stand her nonsense character and attitude being thrown to his face by her. “Like I earlier said, Alfred.” She heaved out a deep sigh of relief before proceeding to complete her words, “I won't hurt her kids under one condition.”“I w
Anna. My hands started fidgeting as I rolled around the floor panicking of what might go wrong if Mira eventually does something stupid to my kids. My clothes were fully soaked in tears, with my knees on the ground while I begged for mercy as if I was a little child who was being abandoned by her mother. “Mira, can you please let my kids go?” I asked her out of concern and pity for my kids. I wasn't ready to allow my kids pay for something they have no idea of and for the fact that I was the one who came for her to defend myself and not my kids makes it all crazy. She gave me a deaf ears as she held my kids neck so tight, scaring them with the pen knife around their neck while they kept calmouring for help with a loud outcry. “Mummy, I don't want to die!” Andy broke out in fear, calling out my name for help.Sandy backed up her brother words as she broke down in heavy tears, “I don't want to lose any of my siblings,. Mother.” taking a deep pause to catch up with her breath, she c
