AnnabelI was in the dungeon once again, I never thought I will ever come in here again.Earlier on, I woke up in Andrew’s room, he wasn’t there, I wore my clothes and returned to my room.Today I was supposed to work in the garden, and so I took my bath quickly, dressed up and left to work.I was in the garden when Adrian approached me, he said he wanted to talk. Andrew already asked me to stay away from Adrian, and I didn’t want to disobey him.But when Adrian told me he was leaving, I had to hear him out, he apologized and just when he was about to leave, Andrew’s guards came and carried me into the dungeon.I’m sure that Andrew must have seen me speaking with him and misunderstood. The ground here was cold, and I was shivering already.The door opened and Kate entered with a tray of food, these days we have been distant, and I don’t know why, I had a feeling it is because of the rumors going on among the maids that Adrian and I had a romantic relationship.“Thanks” I said when she
Annabel It’s been a day now and Andrew was still unconscious, which was not normal, no one had a clue of what was happening. Adrian already informed the doctor, and he will be coming to check him today. Adrian walked into the room, “how is he?” “Still the same, no movement, but he is breathing”. “The doctor will be here soon, you should rest”. “Adrian, I’m fine”. “Did you even sleep at night?” He asked, but I didn’t answer, I was tired, but I couldn’t let him out of my sight. Madam rose went to visit a diviner, she suspected that Andrew’s wolf going wild and him not waking up was black magic and I made a promise her not to leave his sight. If truly someone was trying to manipulate Andrew with black magic, it could be anyone, even Adrian. “You must really love him” Adrian said, breaking me away from my thoughts. “Yes I do, he is my mate after all”. “Is that the reason you love him?” “Adrian, please, I don’t want to have this conversation, my concern now is Andrew’s health”.
Annabel I left Andrew’s room to freshen up and was about to enter my room when I sighted madam rose speaking with Adrian in the kitchen. Madam rose told me she was going to visit a diviner to know if what’s happening to Andrew has anything to do with black magic. She feels like Andrew wolf was controlled, but she was mistaken since the doctor confirmed it was poisoning. When did she come back? And what are they talking about? I have never seen them together in this palace before, and I have never seen Adrian in the kitchen. The less I try not to suspect Adrian, the more he does things that are suspicious. I retraced my steps, walking towards the kitchen. I need to hear what they are talking about. “He said this was bound to happen, and we can’t change destiny, we can only watch how it plays out. Anna coming here was for a reason.” Madam rose said. Whose destiny? What was bound to happen? The more I stand here eavesdropping, the more confusing I get. “I really don’t believe all t
Andrew “What are you doing here? Last I remembered, you were supposed to be in the dungeon?” I asked Anna immediately Isabelle left. “I… It’s a long story, master” She replied shuttering. “Cut it short. Who gave the order to release you from the dungeon?” “I did”. I turned to see Adrian walking into the room, annoyance flickered on his face. “What are you still doing here? I thought you said you were leaving?” “If you must know, Andrew, she saved you. It’s all thanks to her, you didn’t harm anyone”. “What are you talking about?” Adrian went along to explain everything that happened, and I was in awe, Isabelle lied to me. “You see now, you should be grateful to her. She risked her life to save you”. Adrian said after explaining all that happened. “But Isabelle said a different thing” I muttered. “And what did she say? I have been watching her for a while, I think you should distance yourself from her”. Adrian replied. “Drop the medicine and leave, Anna”. I said, and she le
Andrew I walked into the meeting room, all the council members were already waiting. They all stood up, bowing their head as I walked to my seat. I sat down and wavered my hands for them to seat, my gaze fell on the empty chair that was supposed to be occupied by my uncle. “I thought you said your father was coming,” I whispered to Adrian, who was by my side. “So I thought, maybe something came up”. He replied. “Shall we get to the business of the day? I have plenty of things to do today”. I spoke up. “The beta is not present, may we know why?” The spokesman of the council members asked. “He has a personal issue to attend to, Adrian is taking his place for the moment. Did we by any chance gather here to talk about beta James?” “No, my apologies, Alpha. We have all gathered here to discuss something crucial that has got the whole pack talking”. “Which is? I will suggest you go straight to the point of this meeting, you are already wasting my precious time”. I said, my tone
Annabel After Andrew sent me out that day, I haven’t seen him since then. Today the council members were having a meeting, and I’m sure it was about the incidence that took place days ago. Kate and I were cleaning the corridor, when someone passed, he stopped and looked at me, with an angry look on his face before walking out. “Who is that?” I asked Kate, who was beside me. “He is the alpha’s uncle. He took care of him when he was little”. I know he hates me too, seeing that look he gave me. “Oh, do they get along?” “Yes they do, his uncle loves him like his child. He used to visit frequently before but as of recent he stopped, maybe he is too busy. Why all these questions, Anna?” “No, it’s nothing, it’s just that he looked at me somehow while passing”. “You don’t expect him to smile at you when he sees you, Andrew’s father was his brother, but don’t let that bother you”. She said with a comforting smile on her face and I nodded. We continued cleaning and by the time we we
Andrew We were still on the lookout for the person behind all this, we stayed up all night monitoring the cameras and so far, the perpetrator has not left the palace. “Come and take a look at this, Andrew”. “What’s wrong?” “This particular maid has been acting suspicious, bidding her face from the cameras”. “Wait, that looks like Annabel”. “I thought she was in your room”. “Yes she was, but clearly you can see her head in towards her room, and it’s not safe, I’ll go after her. The person behind this might still be in her room”. “Stay safe, I’ll alert the guards” Adrian said, and I nodded before walking out. I stopped by at my room, I needed to at least hold a weapon In case anything happened. After taking out my gun, I headed towards Anna's room. I opened the door, but it was empty, “Adrian the room is empty” I spoke through my Air Pod. “That’s not possible, I watched Annabel enter the room minutes ago and no one has come out of the room. Someone is in that room, Andrew”.
Annabel POV|The cloud was dark, the weather was gloomy, and the rain was failing heavily on me as I ran. I didn’t know where I was going, but I kept running deep into the woods|.|I stopped at the sound of my name, someone was calling me in a low tune, I redirected my steps and followed the voice until I arrived at the front of a lake. A white wolf was standing there, but just as I was about to move closer another black wolf came out and started aiming towards me|.|Just when the black wolf was about to attack me, the white wolf comes in defending me, I stood there transfixed at a spot as they both fought, the black wolf had the upper hand the scariest thing was the white wolf kept looking at me as she fought, it was like she was trying to pass a message|.|Surprisingly, she overpowered the black wolf and killed it, before changing into her human form, she was so pretty and then walked to where I was standing|| “My angel, I love you and will always protect you, but you have to wake
AndrewI didn’t know what to think, whom to suspect…. How did she escape? Who helped her? Who was the insider helping her? So many questions running through my head. It seemed like the security cameras were useless cause for unknown reasons it didn’t capture her escape. I already sent guards to escort Ana to my office for fear of the suspect attacking her again. “Should I send the guards to bring Elder Marcus here?” Adrian asked breaking me away from my thoughts. “No, I won’t disrespect him like that. He has no hand in whatever that has been happening in this palace”. “The suspect called his name after so many torturing, what makes you think she’s lying? He must have a hand in what is happening for her to call his name”.“Except it’s a setup, A setup, so I can divert my attention from the real culprit”.If only he knew my reason, I’m sure he wouldn’t argue with me. I had to keep my research to myself because an insider is involved.“Since you strongly believe it’s a setup, why don
AnnabelI stood still in shock of who just called me. There was Andrew uncle, staring at me with a look I couldn’t decipher, and it made me uncomfortable. Was he smiling, or my eyes just be deceiving me? “You look surprised to see me, why is that” He said, finally breaking the silence.“Umm… Nothing sir” I replied not sure if I had answered that question correctly. Kate warned me about this man.“Annabel you don’t need to be tense whenever you see me, we are more like family now that my nephew intends crowning you Luna. So I do hope we can get along from now henceforth”. “Sure sir” I replied my brain still digesting the information he just relayed.“I’m leaving now, looking forward to bonding with you, Ana”. He added before walking out.Shock was an understatement of how I was feeling now, First of why the change of character? The first time he saw me his facial looks were murderous, and now he is acting a nice and friendly. And also did he just say Andrew intends to crown me Lun
AndrewI walked into the mansion alongside uncle Carson. I wondered what would have happened if I didn’t leave the car. Not that I cared, but I just wanted to protect Ana dignity.We arrived at my office in no time and we both sat down.“What did you want to discuss, Uncle?”“Seems like you and that killer has started bonding…”“I mean no disrespect, uncle, but I won’t sit and watch you call my mate a killer. She is very innocent of the very crime you accuse her of”.“This is the second time you’re defending her, what happened? You weren’t like all these years. You wanted to avenge by all means and now you’re courting the offspring of the man who killed your parents brutally”.“Have you forgotten how they died? Your mother was rap…”“Enough! Don’t you ever bring my mother in such topics. What if I tell you Travis isn’t Ana father? It changes everything right?”.I regretted immediately I disclosed that information, but I had to protect Ana from having more enemies.“What are you saying
Annabel POV We got to the shopping mall, Andrew asked the attendant to give show us her best collections. She brought up to a dozen of designer clothing. I started trying them out, but Andrew wasn’t helping matters, anyone he didn’t like, I didn’t take. “This is too revealing, drop it!” “Too short, Next” “No buttons? Drop it!” “It’s too tight”. And so many other comments and the clothes weren’t as bad as he said, he was just exaggerating things, I wondered if he was shopping for himself. I was already getting frustrated testing the clothes, plus his complains were getting tiring. I foresee us spending more time than intended. We finally settled with three clothes out of the numerous clothes I tried out. Andrew paid, and we entered the car, just when I thought we were heading home, we stopped at another mall. This one was different and it looked classy. Unlike the previous one they sold all feminine stuffs including cosmetics and toiletries. “You can select what y
