“Anny!” Fiona’s voice jerked me back to the present. “Oh… hi,” a fake smile dangling on my face.

She moved close, her hands on my shoulder, “Can I have a sit?” her eyes fixed on me.

“Yeah… sure. I mean, why not,” batting my eyelashes with each word I said. I ran my sweaty palms all over my pants.

With the look in her eyes, it was pretty obvious she was concerned about what was happening to me.

“Are you okay?” she took time. Enough time to drag each word and make them stick to my brain.

“I am not okay Fiona. I am great!” a wide smile was all over my face, and my cheeks widened to the sides, revealing my really nice dentition.

I inwardly prayed she buy the whole lie and let it slide. “Okay… just that you seemed to have zoned out. You know I was calling on you for a while, and you didn’t hear me,” she sighed heavily.

“And right now, you look like something is bothering you. Did anything happen at the party?” she inquired, “Anything that I or your father should know about?”

    Zoe’s POVI opened the door, “Damn… he’s not here too,” I was disappointed to be met with his absence.Where else could he be? He only told me Dad had asked to see him, and now it’s like he’s disappeared from everywhere.He should be long done seeing my father. But I think the only way to be sure about that is to check.I closed the door behind me and started working towards my Father’s office. As much as I’ve been trying to avoid him, I needed to ask him about Alex’s whereabouts.With each step toward my Dad’s office, I kept reminding myself I had to see him in order to see Alex.As long as he goes on talking about possible investigations into Annabel’s death, I will keep avoiding him as much as I can.I gently placed my hand on the doorknob and before I could turn it and go in, I heard what I needed. I instantly turned back.He was with someone and in the middle of their conversation, he had mentioned Alex’s whereabouts.Of all places to be, why would he be there?“Hey girl,” Rita’s

    Being mad at Alex was one thing and, having to sit close to Dad during dinner was another.I put on the pink dress Rita got for me as a gift on her way here. Applied some make-up on my face to hide the emotions raging within me.It was a family dinner, and as much as I don’t have to look like it’s my wedding, I do have to look good. I slid my feet into the silver shoe that Mum got me on my last birthday. Putting on the shoe did bring back some memories including ones that had Annabel in.I can’t believe I’ve got to worry about her even after her death. Final look into the mirror, I closed my eyes, inhaled, and exhaled. Repeatedly told myself, no Annabel today. Just show up for dinner like you always do, put on your best smile like always, and put away the thought of her.I walked out of the room with a wide smile plastered all over my face. Yes, that is the look that put away any form of suspicion from my end.“You look stunning love,” Alex’s comment came the moment I set my feet in

    Alex’s POVThere is a huge thin line between insensitivity and feigning ignorance. Certainly, I know Zoe has something that she's hiding from me.But when did I become the one to compel her to talk? That has never been the case with us. She'll definitely spill it when she wants to.For sure, I know what she saw at the hospital is the reason why she decided to seal her lips and not say a word to me about whatever she wanted to tell me.But that is the least of my worries for now. The reason behind the sudden swearing-in might not make sense to Zoe, but that's not the case with me.“Alpha Danny is a d**n witty man,” I scoffed at the thought of the reason behind his action. No one saw it coming this quick.I had always known I would be the next Alpha of Spring pack but I never knew Alpha Danny would outsmart me and put me in charge while his motive was to make me a caged dog.“This man might think he's wise, but he doesn't know who he's playing a game with… it's Alex!”He might think he'

Yet, I am not ready to give them what they desperately want on a platter of gold.“You can always talk to me Liza, I'll be more than glad to give my ears,” those were her words to me just last night after dinner.She must think it's easy to trust and open up. But of what significance is doing so when everyone is going to desert you once they know you for who you are? The grande vibration from my phone ushered me back to reality. It was time for my meeting. I was already dressed and ready.The alarm ring sure came at the right time. Truth is, since my encounter with the mysterious being, I have become more serious with my training.One way to get the answers to my numerous and ocean-wide questions is to train my mind and body.

    It's been a few days since I last saw Chris. He's been out of the pack running errands for Alpha Nicholas.I'm out for a walk in the woods. Though I do not fancy taking walks in the woods. But, I can't explain the way I've been acting lately.I feel like I'm developing new characters, but scrap that, it feels so familiar. I bet it's all due to my situation.“Our wedding is taking place on the next full moon,” Dad had been so happy to break the news to me over dinner last night.Don't be surprised I called him Dad. It's kinda coming naturally to me these days. I say that with fewer struggles than I used to.Am I happy for him?

The voice of one of the captured welcomed us as we stepped into the dungeon. He kept running his mouth as we stood in their front.His hair was a dark blonde that would have looked amazing if healthy, but what he had was far from healthy. My eyes ran over to his face, he had a scar on his face, close right to his mouth and I could see that was the mark Derek had given him before they broke out through the help of whoever did.I was silent. Just looking at the space between his head and that of his partner who had black hair, as unhealthy as his partner in crime.For some weird reason, he looked feeble and uninterested in this assignment, but I've dealt with many of his types.When I was new to this game, I had thought people like him were being used and forced out of their will to do evil, but over time, I realized it was all a façade

    Leonard's POV I badly wanted to stop him. The pull became stronger the more I tried.“She f******* doesn't have a wolf. Why this insatiable pull?” I winched out of confusion.I haven't seen her since I came to the party. And right now, I have to search for her.I need to be sure whatever is happening is supposed to be. I need to find Oriel. She can help me know the truth. I need her to move past this phase.“Is she with a wolf now? Is our mate bond getting stronger or is it wearing off?”This pull can mean any of the options and I need to find out. That's the only way out of this ordeal.I couldn't talk to Lucil, he wasn't having it easy too.

But what's there to lose? I have a business to take care of here in Glassland. It was perfect timing, so why not?I looked at the paperwork on my table and sighed. Who goes to a party when having loads of work to do?“Don't be a boring f****! Unwind, relax and chill. It's better than sticking your stuff into that ugly thing,”Lucil drooled after his last word and I couldn't help but shake my head.Far from enjoyment, this party is business for me.

    Annabel's POV I looked around carefully and the only thing I could see was brightness.Where on earth is this place? I thought in my head.“This is a realm different from the world that you know,” I flinched as the brightness provided an answer to the question running through my head.It just answered my question. A question that I didn't ask. How possible is that?What is this? A brightness that reads the mind? “My child, you have no cause to be alarmed,” and for some unknown reasons, I felt calm, cool and collected.For the first time in a long while I felt like I was in a haven. From the brightness, a being emerged. Her face shone and I couldn't look her straight in the eyes.But far from terror and fear, I felt peace and tranquility. Each of her steps was enshrined in grace.She exuded authority, power and dominance. A thought clipped in my head, whoever I saw in the past isn't the same person in the void.But why? Why must I have encounters with different mystical beings? I k

    Annabel's POV Confusion gripped me once I looked to my right and I couldn't find Oriel. Where could she be?With immediate effect, I stood from my seat and started walking down the stairs.I felt drawn to the room on the left before the first staircase. Trusting my instincts, I decided to go in and confirm why I would be drawn.Just then, the event of following my instincts and seeing what I shouldn't see struck me like lightning.I shouldn't repeat my mistake, but here I am torn between writing a different script and repeating the previous one.“It's just a few minutes left to the full moon, you can't possibly allow her to be just anywhere by this time,”I know Oriel is a strong girl, but she still has a lot to learn. I see her like the little sis I never had. Plus, she's a sweet soul. I couldn't love her less.I pushed open the door and to my shock. An unidentified man was on Oriel trying to strangle her with a throw pillow.Her words were muffled which was the reason why I couldn

    Annabel's POV I stood in front of the mirror, admiring the icy blue dress that I got from the store a few weeks ago. Dad had announced the date of his wedding with Fiona, and myself and Oriel had gone to get a dress each for the occasion.The dress matched my eyes and went well with my silver-dyed hair. The fabric hugged my curves seamlessly. Oriel's dress was the same as mine, but amber in color. A match for her eyes.“Hurry guys, we are going to be late,” Chris' voice echoed through the door.“Yes sir!” We both replied in unison. Oriel looked fantastic and I wish this event would be more amazing.I've been learning to trust Fiona again. After our last confrontation, she had been trying to make amends and the truth is, her efforts cannot be unnoticed.Chris had pointed out how close we used to be before the whole saga happened and I hope we can one day take off from where we left.“Okay, ladies! It's not your wedding day for Goddess's sake… I'm coming in,”Before we could protest,
