Anna“So, this is your place? It's so cosy.” Lily said in awe as she stepped in.I rolled my eyes at her.“You can say it's ugly. I don't mind.” Lily chuckled. “Ugly? I would have killed to have a place like this six years ago.”“Really? What happened six years ago?” I pried as gently as I could.“I was homeless and beaten to an inch of my life,” she shrugged with her usual ditzy smile.“What happened?”“Well, I got mixed up with the wrong crowd, and that was when Duncan saved me. Without him, I'd be dead. He helped me get revenge on all of them that wronged me.”“I'm so sorry, Lily. What kind of crowd?” I asked, taking a seat on the couch.She plopped down on the couch and began to take out the clothes we'd gotten from the store.“Let's just say being in love was the worst thing that ever happened to me,” she sighed. There was a sadness in her eyes that I had never seen before, but just as quickly as it came, it disappeared again. Almost like it hasn't been there.“Anyway, bygones

Anna Lily and I had managed to rack in a little cash from the men around us. I had no idea how she did it, but she'd gotten a bunch of men to play with her, and she'd been racking up wins like a pro. She'd somehow won every round, hitting the bull's-eye of the target with her dart like it was nothing. It was the most fun I'd had in forever. In fact, I wasn't sure I'd ever really had fun. I took a sip of my Bloody Mary as I watched Lily beat every man and woman that challenged her. She was simultaneously stealing their money and their hearts. She was simply charming. She threw her last dart at the target with her back to the target, and when she hit bull's eye, everyone erupted in applause. “Alright, alright. That's enough for the night,” she finally said. I chuckled watching a bunch of grown men pout that they got to keep the rest of their money and dignity. Lily waved bye to her new fans before approaching me. “Hey, champion,” I smirked. She chuckled, shoving the

Duncan “How could you be so stupid, Lily?” I growled hours later in my study after we'd returned home. Lily was fully awake now, her head bent down in remorse as I scolded the shit out of her. I usually didn't have to worry about Lily like my other girls, but there were days when she acted a little too erratic for my liking. “I'm sorry. I blacked out.” She muttered under her breath. I could tell she felt remorseful for her actions, but it didn't stop it from being dangerous. “That's not an excuse! What happened to taking your suppressants?” I demanded, trying to keep my anger at bay, but it was difficult because she'd almost exposed her identity to Anna today. She looked up at me. “I took them.” “No, you didn't, because if you did, we wouldn't be having this conversation.” She sighed. “It just doesn't work for me anymore, and Kayla is stubborn and hates disrespect. She couldn't take a man trying to touch me inappropriately.” Kayla was her wolf and was aggressive. Understa

AnnaI paced my room, wondering what the hell I had just heard.Kayla couldn't take the disrespect.Who the hell was Kayla?I had managed to overhear them talking before Levi had appeared out of nowhere, and I had to go back to my room.The image of the drunk man who she'd mauled resurfaced in my mind, and I couldn't help but be confused.And to top it all off, nobody seemed to be fazed by it at all.Something was going on, something I couldn't place my hands on, and I was going to figure it out. Maybe I had been looking at the wrong things.There had been rumours of people ending up mutilated and mauled as if by wild animals all over the city. She'd been on the case before it had been transferred to another detective.It was morning before I knew it. I quickly showered and made my way to breakfast to check on Lily. I had so many questions I needed answers to.As I entered the breakfast room, the first thing I noticed was Duncan’s absence.That was odd. He was always at breakfast.

AnnaIt had been two days since Lily went missing. Even Duncan was nowhere to be found.Lucas was barely around, and Levi, well, when he was around, he was ignoring the shit out of me, almost like it was a guarded effort.It was around lunchtime and I was starving. I made my way to the kitchen and found Zoe, the maid I had met the other day whistling and stirring batter.“Hey, Zoe. How are you doing?” I asked.“Anna, hey. I'm great. How are you?” She asked, a huge smile on her face.She was the only one around here that seemed happy to see me. The rest of the maids always gave me the side eye or the stink eye.“I'm okay, I think. Just a little stressed and worried,”She frowned. “Would you like something to eat? I can make you something sweet,”“Sure, thank you.” I smiled.“What exactly are you worried about?”I thought she'd never ask.“Lily.” I said, watching her expression carefully.Zoe's hands hesitated for a fraction of a second before she resumed stirring the batter. "Oh.. yea

AnnaWest Wing. The words kept echoing in my head, circling my thoughts like Vultures over a dead body. What were they hiding in there?What were they preparing for?The mysteries of this mansion grew like wolf fire, the more I discovered, the more questions I had.It had only been a week since I had infiltrated this place but I still felt a little inadequate that I hadn't been able to gather concrete enough evidence or find out anything about my mother.It was exhausting, especially since there were eyes watching my every move. Despite all my efforts to evade them, I had not been able to do much. There were eyes everywhere and it frustrated me.The only solid evidence I had so far was the money laundering operation, a major crime, but not enough to take down the entire organization.I needed more. More evidence and I needed answers. I knew I needed to be patient but patience wasn't something I possessed in me.The last time I had been patient, I had lost my mother.The West Wing see

AnnaI spent the rest of the day avoiding Duncan like the plague.I still hadn't found out who was responsible for the little discrepancy in the account but at the same time, I didn't care. I just knew I didn't want to be around Duncan before I did something I'd regret.Besides, I had a plan and it was to figure out a way to get to the West Wing and Duncan's room within the week but first, I had to befriend a few people. Especially the maids.They were more forthcoming with information than anyone else in the house, especially Zoe. The rest of them barely wanted to speak to me.I knew at the back of my head, the best way to get to Duncan's room was to sleep with him but I refused to be like Sabrina or one of his other girls.I refused to be that.After I was done with work for the day, I left the office and went in search of Zoe, but she wasn't in the kitchen and neither were the other maids.Shit! She'd probably retired for the day.Reluctantly, I left the kitchen, heading to my roo

AnnaDuncan's words hit me like a slap. A deal?My breath caught in my throat as I forced my gaze to remain steady on his. He stood there, tall and commanding, his bare chest rising and falling in slow, deliberate breaths. Every inch of him exuded confidence, the kind that made men dangerous men and women reckless.But I wasn't about to be reckless. Not again."What kind of deal?" My voice came out stronger than I intended for it to.Duncan's lips twitched, his eyes gleaming with something unreadable. "I want you in bed, Anna," he whispered.I knew it was coming but I didn't expect it to be so blatant, to be so crude."You are joking." I blurted out.His eyes narrowed."Do I strike you as a man that jokes around, Anna?" He asked, his expression now unreadable as he tilted his head slightly, stepping forward.I stepped back again instinctively, my legs hitting the edge of his bed.Fuck! Now, I was between him and a hard place. The tension between rose to a burning degree but I managed

DuncanI watched Anna as she slept. She looked peaceful in her sleep but I could tell something was bothering her.Not just that, I knew she was hiding something from me.I had grown to trust her, fighting my feelings for her as much as I could.Being with a human girl made no sense to me, but Clark, my wolf, didn't care. When I had told her that I loved her, I hadn't even thought about it. It had flown out on its own, but it was true.I took out my phone and snapped a picture of her sleeping.A grin spread across my lips.God, she was gorgeous. I had thought sex with her for a month would have gotten her out of my system by now but the opposite was the case.It was like she was weaving these invisible webs around my heart , pulling me closer and closer like some love demon.I wondered why she was dreaming. Was she dreaming about me?She was an orphan.She had no family, no ties, at least bone that she had told me about or I had found out about. Yet, there was a deep sadness that clun

AnnaVenice was unlike anything I had ever seen before.The moment we stepped onto the water taxi, the world around me shifted into something out of a dream. The air smelt different, being yet crisp, tinged with the scent of aged stone and the faintest hint of something sweet, like pastries cooling on windowsills.The city itself unfolded before me like a painting in motion, Buildings weathered by countries, leaned toward the canals, their faded facades kissed by the golden afternoon light. Balconies draped in the ivy and flower boxes spilled over with bursts of color. Gondolas moved gracefully through the narrow waterways, the gondoliers dressed in traditional striped shirts, pushing along with an effortless elegance.I couldn't tear my eyes away."It's... breathtaking," I murmured, barely aware I had spoken aloud.Beside me, Duncan leaned back against the seat, watching me instead of the scenery. "Venice has that effect."I turned to him, finding his gaze steady, knowing. The way he

AnnaIt wasn't long after the phone call when Duncan stepped out of our hotel room.He was showering me with so much love. I wasn't particularly sure how a monster like him could be so gentle and awkward.I dialed Tim once again hoping the fifth time was the charm but no answer.Was he okay??It was unlike him to not answer immediately.I had asked him to follow Lily but what if he'd been compromised and had been captured.I shuddered.No,I was overthinking.He was definitely fine.I shook my head and decided to send him a text. Telling him to call me as soon as possible.I waited a couple of minutes and decided to call Sly.He picked up on the first ring.“Sly, hey. Have you heard from Tim?”I asked not to give him the chance for pleasantries. Not that it mattered. Sly didn't care for pleasantries. Only results.“No, I have not heard from him."“He's not at the precinct?”“It's his day off. Is everything okay?”“No. I sent him on a mission yesterday. He isn't picking up his call.”Sl

AnnaLove? I couldn't believe this. I couldn't believe anything.My heart was beating in my chest and my mind was a complete mess.Duncan was in the living room talking to his men while I laid in the room, unable to sleep.I fiddled with rmthe ring in my hand. I had managed to snatch it despite my fear and what I had seen.Hallucination?There was no way that was the truth. I couldn't have hallucinated that but then again, Jean hadn't taken his drink. In fact, he'd made an effort not to.I wasn't sure what to think anymore.My head was spinning. At this point, I was going insane.Maybe Tim was right. Maybe I was playing a dangerous game and didn't know it.The door to the bedroom suite opened and Dun walked towards me.I pretended to be asleep. The last thing I wanted to do was have sex.I was too cofused, too stressed.I felt the bed dip and seconds later Duncan's hands around my waist. He pulled me closer to him and held me right. I held my breath expecting him to start caressing

Duncan‘What were you thinking?’ I yelled at Anna, my hands shaking on the steering wheel.“I'm sorry. I didn't think ““No, you didn't. Do you have any idea who Jean is? He is dangerous. He could have ripped you apart.”I snapped, remembering who he was.Back when my father still had his pack, Jean was one of his loyal friends and he was ruthless with humans especially the female. He hated them, hell, he was one of the reasons my father had been exiled.The shock in my eyes when I had seen Anna in the cage had sent me into temporary psychosis.I had practically rode here when I realized Jean had won her.“I'm sorry.”“No, that's not enough. What were you thinking?” He asked.“Nothing.”She said, her voice shaking.“There has to be something. It's unlike you to make such a rash decision. Tell me now,”“I can't,” she admitted and began to cry, her body shaking.She looked genuinely distressed and it made my chest ache. I could feel her pain just like she could feel mine earlier and sh

Anna“Such a beautiful woman,” the French man that had gotten the ring said as his chauffeur opened the car door of the sleek black SUV.The ring was with him. He'd transferred about three million dollars for the ring, and by the looks in his eyes, I was absolutely sure he planned on doing whatever he wanted to my body.“Thank you,” I said with a fake sultry smile as I pulled my trench coat tighter around me and slipped into the car.Now, that I was with him, all I could think about was how stupid I had reacted. This was going to raise a lot of questions.I wondered what Duncan was thinking now.He'd probably be as confused as I was.My phone vibrated as the car moved.It was Duncan calling. I silenced the call.I had to focus on stealing that ring back, but how?How was I supposed to do that without him suspecting?I felt Jean-Luc’s hand on my shoulders, and when I turned, he was grinning at me.I almost puked into my mouth. He was well into his 60s with the look of an 80-year-old.I

AnnaA sigh escaped my lips. I was exhausted. We had gone through a total of sixteen rose velvet girls and sixteen items, and there was still more. I just wanted to rest a little bit. The crowd was having too much fun.I plucked a bottle of champagne from the collar and drank a generous amount. My mind is filled with so many questions.I had a feeling something was about to happen, but I couldn't put my finger on it yet.I was thoroughly exhausted, and the worst part? I missed Duncan and not just the sex. I was slowly getting used to having him as some kind of comfort, which weirded me out.I wanted to believe it was simply sex.Would you be able to kill him when the time comes?That tiny voice in the back of my head asked.Absolutely!I answered with confidence, but why did my heart feel anything but confident?“And for the next item…” The announcer started, and I gestured for the men to pick up the huge vase that was essentially a wolf's head, golden and made of pure gold. I wonder

AnnaI called Tim as soon as Estonia went back to Duncan's dressing room.“Tim, I need your help.” I said as soon as he picked up.“What's wrong? Are you okay?” he asked, his voice frantic. I heard a honk from his phone and concluded he was probably outside the precinct.“No. I have a kind of friend here; her name is Lily, and, well, she was acting erratic. I'm not sure what's wrong with her, but I need you to look into her tonight. She is one of the escorts. You've seen her before, but I'll send you a picture, but before that, I need you to do something for me. I need you to follow them. I have no idea where they are going, but follow her.” I told him the name of the van and the licence plate they'd taken.“Alright, I'm on it. I'll inform some of my PIs and some patrol cops.”“Thank you, Tim!” I said.“Tim?” I heard Levi's voice behind my back, and I froze.I slowly turned around to find him staring at me, his eyes hard, his nostrils flared.The door was supposed to be closed.

Duncan“What is it?”I questioned Estonia, annoyed by her interrupting me and Anna's time.Me and Anna's time?I couldn't believe I was calling it that now.“Not sure how to say this, Dun, but Lily is here again.”“What? I thought she was with Dr Kane?”“She was.” Estonia shrugged. “She escaped.”I sighed.“Take her back there and make sure he sedates her.”Estonia's lips thinned.“What is it?” I asked when she didn't move to leave.“Well, it seems she left a trail of bodies on her way here.”“Fucking hell. What have you done with the bodies now?” I asked.“Don't worry, it's been taken care of, but we might need to put Lily down soon. She's getting worse, more erratic, and the authorities will tie this back to us. We don't want that; it's too dangerous. The last time this happened, it took us asking the vampires to cover this shit up. We can't risk it. We need to put her down.”“Absolutely not. She can get better. Kale said so.”I stood. I was not going to put Lily down like some ani
