Rebirth: Annabel's Revenge CHAPTER 9
Leonard’s POVDerek shot me a deadly glare once he entered my study running his gaze up and down like a detective. “Don’t tell me…” he trailed off. “Drop the topic, Derek,” I said as I picked up the last document on the floor.Truth be told, no one would have noticed anything off about my study if not for Derek.Asking a maid to do the cleaning would have been a nice idea, but that would mean one thing, my parents knowing I was around and bombarding me with questions about when I’d be settling down with my own Luna. A conversation I so much detest at the moment. “You did again?” his voice came to a little above whisper with an annoying smirk playing his cheeks.Sometimes I wonder how he’s my best friend and my future Beta. Being the future Alpha of the most dreaded Pack in the North comes with so many burdens and responsibilities, hence the need to have loyal subjects.Derek has been one of those people that can be trusted and if not for his loyalty and how he has grown to be the bro

Annabel’s POVThe warmth of the morning sunlight sent me a warm kiss as I opened my eyes. Soft, golden rays peeked through the curtains, enveloping me with an uplifting energy. I feel better with each passing day. The ballet lessons with the girls have been nothing short of amazing. I was a bad dancer in my past life, but now I dance effortlessly and even teach.I had always wanted to learn ballet as a child and was mum was ready to teach me how to dance. Unfortunately, I had lost her before we could hold any lesson on ballet.“Once mini Anny is here, mum is going to teach big Anny ballet.” those were her words, the promise she didn’t get to keep.For a second, I clung to my sheets, I miss her so much. I wish she hadn’t left, I wouldn’t be in this mess. Dad wouldn’t have married that evil woman and Alex wouldn’t have cheated on me with Zoe.I checked the time and it was past eight, I stood up to have a warm bath. As the water cascaded down my body washing away the night’s slumber, I

Zoe’s POV“No, that isn’t fair,” the maid beside Sarah mumbled, “No one knows what happened.” “We were all there, Zoe exposed her,” Sarah retorted while rolling her eyes.“She was a disgrace to the pack, the mind to poison her stepmother?” she scoffed.“You can’t just conclude that way… what if?Sarah cut the other girl of, “What if what? What if she wasn’t sleeping around disgracing the Alpha? Or what if there was no secret? What if she didn’t reject her mate a day before their wedding?”“Exactly Sarah! The ‘what ifs’ are many and we shouldn’t slander a dead girl when we don’t even know the truth,” she said shaking her head out of pity.“She was a nice girl who would not tarnish the image of her father unlike…” she paused to look around, “unlike that bitch that one has to walk on edges around,” her cheeks curved up in a dry smirk.I couldn’t believe my ears. Did a maid just call me ‘bitch?’ Since the duo couldn’t see me or sense me, I decided to lean closer to the kitchen door and l

**********----------**********“Hey love,” he called out seductively. “Where have you been leaving this gorgeous man all alone?”I walked closer to him, pulling off the jacket and biting my lower lips softly, “Hmmm… How much does this gorgeous man miss me?” I said, sitting on his lap, and running my fingers through his hair.“So much to make you rush down here upon hearing my voice,” he said, tickling me with his firm fingers.“You literally scared me, you know,” I said, placing a kiss on his temple and continuing to run my fingers down his neck.“You left me all day long, I needed to draw your attention,” his coarse voice was making my garden jolt in excitement.“What do you desire?” I kissed his plum lips which he returned as he drew me closer. “You… You are my desire,” he mumbled as he ran his fingers down my spine, sending jitters through my body.“She never made you feel this way right?” I muttered as I pushed him to the bed while taking off my dress revealing my body. I made su

Leonard’s POV“Help me. Keep my secret. I would do anything you want,” her eyes pleading as desperation etched into every line of her face.The memories of that night won’t stop playing in my head. I had felt the urge to reveal her true identity, to tell the world that the woman is not who they all think she is.“I didn’t ask for this. I’ve been trying to make a sense of it ever since,” she had said with so much confusion in her voice. Yet, her words made no sense to me.The more I think about that night, the more hatred I feel towards her. What if all she told me were lies? A part of me desperately wished it was all a scheme or prank.She’s responsible for all the mess happening to me now, yet a part of me wants to know the truth. What truth lies behind her story?As much as I hate to admit it, I know she had said the truth about being a different soul in the body of my Liza, but it’s so much confusing that my wolf still draws me to her.“They are gone!” Derek’s voice streamed throu
Rebirth: Annabel's Revenge CHAPTER 14
Annabel’s POV“Happy birthday Dad,” I giggled as I wrapped him in the most warm embrace you can imagine. He reciprocated by pulling me closer and grinned like a baby.The hallway was filled with members of the Glassland pack, and different members of other packs who had come to felicitate with Dad. Blazing music was at its pitch, people chatting, laughing, and vibing to the music. Everyone seemed so happy.The party had begun and the servers were everywhere making sure everyone had what they wanted. Whoever walked into the hallway would know that the party was well-planned and anticipated.People came bearing gifts for Dad, a gesture that I found so kind and nice. Unlike many packs, the members would come to dine, whine, and leave without any present to their Alpha.“She looks so hot…” “She is so pretty…”“I love her dress…”I couldn’t help but hear the different comments splashing from different angles of the hall about me. As much as I enjoy the compliment and all, I wish they’d

**********----------**********“No, Liza!” “Liza No!!!”A wave of confusion plagued my face as I tugged myself under the duvet. The next moment, I threw the duvet away out of frustration.“Not again!” I gasped, pausing for a second as I stared at the ceiling, confusion written all over me. I stretched forth my hands to the pillow and clung to it as if my life depended on it, blocking the ray of dawn that shimmered through the window.“What do I call this?” I asked no one in particular. The look on his face was taunting and I foolishly wished I knew what happened next.Sluggishly, I sat up on my bed, taking a deep breath to stabilize myself. “It’s nothing serious right?” I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to convince myself this meant nothing.The same dream that keeps plaguing my sleep means nothing. The fact that I keep seeing Leo in my dreams and seeing myself as Liza means nothing. And Amma?Who the heck is Amma? Where do I go in search of answers to my numerous answers? A wave of

Leonard’s POVJudging by the look on their faces immediately I entered the meeting room, they were not expecting to be called upon at such an odd hour. Well, not like I give a f**k about how they feel.They all stood and bent their heads in submission while I motioned them to have their seats.I hate the fact that these old geese pretend so well, it gets on my nerves to see them act like all is going on smoothly. Yet I was ready to play the game with them.“We were able to apprehend the rogues who attacked Blue Moon Pack…” I scanned them from the corner of my eyes and saw some flicker in their gazes.A smirk sneaked its way to the corners of my lips as one of them looked bothered about what I had said.“Hmmmm…” I heard someone clear their throat and adjusted his tie out of fear. I was getting a lead, but what’s the fun in catching them just like that?Because some of them missed the meeting, it was a clue they were scared to face the consequences of their actions, running away from t

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

Rebirth: Annabel's Revenge CHAPTER 28
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

“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?”She knows how
Rebirth: Annabel's Revenge CHAPTER 26
Annabel’s POVIt’s been days since the party event. Oriel told me how I was found lying alone in the woods. I wondered who saved me.According to Oriel, there were no traces of who hurt me or of the one who came to my aid. One thing I know for sure is that whoever saved me, took care of the blonde guy.Oriel had smuggled us through the back door, so, no one knew what happened at the party or that we were out in the first place.It’s a good thing they aren’t aware. I don’t want anyone to get worked up about me. I need to level up my game and start finding answers to my numerous questions.Suppose I can’t have the man I had loved with my whole heart in my previous life. I can at least seek to know the truth about my identity.My mind took a journey back to that night. Most of her words sounded mysterious, but what I saw felt real. I wonder if I was really sane at the time.“You are too blind to see the potential of being Liza and Annabel, aren’t you?” I remember vividly the contempt in

Zoe’s POVOh… no… not on my wedding day! I imagined myself screaming down the whole place. But I can’t contribute to making this day a disaster.Why bother about whatever happened outside? The priest already pronounced me and Alex as a couple.I watched with total disgust and hatred for the girl who ran in to cause such commotion. Looking at her sternly, I realized she was the girl I had punished alongside Sarah the other day.Her sharp mouth had gotten her into the mess, and a part of me just wished she hadn’t gotten into a deeper mess.If at all this whole thing happens to be a prank or payback for what I did to her, then she must have a death wish. I muttered under my breath.People started flocking out to see what happened outside and why she called out for help.“And where do you think you are going?” I asked Alex who was about to leave me and join everyone.He looked at me like I had asked the wrong question. But I honestly didn’t care. Who leaves their bride just because some

Zoe’s POVI looked at the exact replica of the dress I admired right from the day I set my eyes on it. Following Annabel to the store was not out of free will. I had gone to see her dress, and I couldn’t help but admit, she got eyes for nice things.She had Alex, she had the most beautiful wedding dress. She had all that I admire.I smiled at the thought of her finally out of my breathing space. “She’s no more your competitor Zoe,” I belly-laughed, “the nonentity is gone… gone forever,”My hand ran through the perfectly crafted neckline of my wedding dress, which was made of shining bridal lace. The dress was exquisitely overflowing from the back. Diamond diamond pearls meticulously covered the underburst right to the waistline.Besides the trimmings flowing from the top right side of the second length down to the hem of the dress, it’s almost sheer at the back was my favorite part of the dress.A knock on the door brought me out of my reverie. While trying to collect myself and let

No matter how strong the pull is, I’m never allowing her in my heart. She’s not deserving of me or my Luna title.A Luna is someone who sticks by your side, fights by your side, and stays with you while you lead the people.She’s no Luna material. Though inhabiting the body of someone who was my mate, her soul is not my mate’s soul. That is enough reason to kill every form of affection towards her.“You see this… this right here is one of the reasons I can never feel any affection towards you,” I said to her while picking the tip of my nose. “Who comes into the woods with a stranger you met at a party?”I tilted her head to the side, expecting a reply from her.I know it’s not possible as she had passed out, but I wonder how gullible she could be to land in this messy situation.“Aren’t you so daft?” my brows raised, “you should learn to do a good job hiding your identity,” I muttered, “If you continue to act so gullible like this, they’ll find out sooner or later,” I scoffed.“Do you

Leonard’s POVAllowing Lucil to be in control was the best decision I made. His passion for finding and rescuing her from whatever trouble was unmatched.I’ve never felt him so protective like this. It made me wonder if my wolf had been swapped without my consent or what.I don’t understand why he would care so much about someone whose identity is so shady. She’s fake and that’s the reality. The reality that Lucil is yet to accept.But the earlier Lucil realizes that the better for him. I don’t want him nagging and lecturing me about some mate’s bullshit.“Just this once Lucil,” I whispered, placing my hand on my ear. Hoping he’d listen to me. “We are never doing this again man. I know you are pretending not to hear me. But, this would be the first and last time I’d be dragged into this kind of situation,”I went on and on while Lucil chose to ignore my ranting. Lucil jumped the cliff that was supposed to be a barrier to entering this particular forest.My eyes widened. She can’t pos
