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
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
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.”
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
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
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
ALFRED. “Make sure you look after her. Don't you ever remove her eyes away from her and her kids? Am I clear?” Pulling the three guards from their ears I warned them vehemently.“But, we can't keep in touch with her when she is still with the doctor.” One of the guards spoke up with a shaky voice countering my instruction.“How dare you question my authority?” I spanked his tiny head growling out in frustration, “Most of the time I tend to ponder and ask myself how I was able to employ someone like you?”The guard groaned out in pain rubbing his hands on his head, “I didn't mean to counter your authority, Alpha Alfred. I was trying to state the obvious because it was going to be a little difficult to keep an eye on her and her kids.” He backed up his words defending my suggestion. I was getting sick and slowly frustrated having to discuss certain things with this blockhead because it was pointless proving my point to him. “Can you do the job or not?” Angrily grabbing him from his n
ALFRED.She went silent and didn’t feel any remorse for her actions while feeding me with her silence. Her breath only brought more heat to my face as she didn’t bother to say anything to me. The only thing my ears could hear was the heavy sound of her breath.“Have you suddenly gone deaf, Anna?” twisting her over with her hair so she could face me and look into my eyeballs directly, “I asked who the hell did you call while I was away.”Throwing her face down to my feet she gave me a cold response, “I didn't call anybody, Alfred.” I laughed out loud sarcastically licking the dried corners of my lips seductively, “Who the hell do you take me for? A child?” my eyebrows were fully raised as I questioned her curious to hear her response.“I never for once called you a child, Alfred.” she backed up her words still putting on a courageous face.“You must be foolish to think that I'm a fool to you and that you can easily brainwash me with your fake lies. What has gotten into you?”“Nothing
Mike.I staggered on my feet, dusting off the sand that had penetrated deeply into my eyes. The loud cry of the kids echoed through the calmness of the forest and every one of their words pierced through my heart. From the way they kept on shouting and struggling to get off the right grip of Zed, I knew that they were scared of him and they’d only been treated awfully.“Daddy Mike! Please, come and save us.” Sandy cried out loud in exhaustion.She was scared of her life and seeing my presence she greatly believed that I'd be of help to her. If there was anything that was going through my mind at that point it was the fact that I needed to be calculative of my steps so I wouldn’t end up losing them to Zed.“Zed, kindly hand over the kids to me and I won’t bother coming for you.” I pleaded with him dragging my feet cautiously on the floor just to get closer to him without him being aware. “They are all mine, Mike. I won't hand them over to you so there is no point trying to beg me.” He
MIKE. The loud sound of steps echoed loudly from within with my eyes scanning through the thick forest to be alert for where they’d be coming from. “What the hell is happening?” I said to myself trying to brace up for the aftermath. “One.. Two…” Zed raised his hands into the air, raising his voice so loud that one would be able to hear it echo through the silence of the room. Angrily I grabbed his collar, hitting his back on a tree I pestered him, rolling up my sleeves to question him, “What do you think you are doing?” “You haven't seen anything, Mike. Do well to sit back and enjoy the ride.” He kicked my underlegs and dashed through the edge of the forest that led to another path. The moment he caught a glimpse of me on the floor fighting my way through to stand on my feet, he put his fingers into his mouth and whizzled out, “Three! You all come out!” He screamed out loud before dashing out of the scene.Suddenly, I heard the steps approaching closer to me and this time around
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.“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
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
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
