MITCH CHESTERMITCH DRUMMED HIS hand on the steering as he waited for the Alpha of this pack to come. He noticed that it was becoming a habit of his. He sighed and stopped, but the nervous energy went to his foot, and he tapped it against the floor softly.Driving for 4 hours without stopping made his joints stiff and his back ached, but he did not want to step out of the car until the alpha came. The patrol guards hovered around his car as one of them went to call Alpha Rick under Mitch's command.He looked around the pack where Anna grew up. The pack that had led the antagonism on his father and his father's father for generations. It was a pretty boring surroundings. He was so used to seeing mountains everywhere, not like here. There were evergreen woods and plains around the borders.After a few minutes, he saw the men approaching. He stayed behind the tinted glass of the Gwagon, observing the man who had been Anna's first mate. He was a plain man; his hair was blonde streaked with
RICK FORSONAS RICK AND Jones left the inn where Mitch was going to be staying, Rick said, "He is here for something. I know it.""You do not believe him?" Jones asked.Rick scoffed. "I trust him as far as I can throw him," he muttered. "And that's not far at all."Jones sniggered."Something happened," Rick said. "I can feel it in my guts," he turned and looked at the inn as they walked forward. "The last time a Lycan came down from the mountains, apart from his father, it was for war.""How do you know that?" Jones asked, frowning. "None of us were alive at that period.""I read about the great war," Rick replied dryly. "While you were in Spain reading some architectural stuff...""It's Barcelona," Jones muttered. "And I studied engineering."Rick scoffed."Are you going to tell Charles that the Lycan is here?" Jones asked as they entered the pack house."Why would I do that?" Rick asked, shrugging off his jacket and hanging it on a rack.Jones snorted and poured a drink into two gl
MITCH CHESTERHE BROUGHT OUT his phone, one which he didn't really use when he was back in the kingdom. All of his contacts were always with him, and the heads of the different business companies he had around the world sent him emails at steady intervals. But now, he was away, and he needed to converse with Draco.He went through the phone and saved the contact list till he saw Draco's numbers. The call was picked up on the second ring."You are there already?" Draco asked immediately he picked up.Mitch grunted in a positive response."Damn, how bad did you drive?" Draco chuckled. "I did not expect you to be there until another couple of hours."Mitch snorted. He admitted to having driven higher than the recommended speed limit and also broke some road traffic laws too. But he didn't say any of those. Instead, he said, "How are things in the kingdom?""They are okay," Draco replied."The kids are back from school?" Mitch asked, suppressing the emotional lump in his throat as he thou
ANNA KYLIN CHESTER"MUM IS AWAKE!"Even if I wasn't previously, I couldn't bear to smash the hope and excitement I had heard in Aiden's voice as soon as he peeped into my room and saw my eyes open. I sat up, hiding the difficulty in which I did that easy task.They rushed in and crowded my bedside. "Addison was praying to the moon goddess that you would be awake when we came back from school...""You see my prayers were answered," Addison giggled. "I also prayed for the moon goddess to bring me a pony. I hope that one, too, is answered.""What happened, mum?" Aiden asked. "Addie was very scared.""Weren't you also scared?" Addison shrieked. "He cried in school today." She pointed at her brother."That was because my pencil broke!" Aiden tried to argue to preserve his dignity, but his sister was not having any of that. She giggled."Come here, babies," I opened my arms and gathered them in my embrace. I sniffed in their scent - the faint smell of school, and snow and child sweat. It wa
MITCH CHESTERHE WATCHED REINE come forward gracefully. She did not bow timidly or expose her neck in submission like he expected her to. She met and held his gaze as she walked forward, and placed the tray on a table."You were Doctor Anna's loyal servant?" He asked, still surprised at her demeanor."Yes," she said. "And you are her Lycan mate who cheated on her and made her sick."Mitch winced as he remembered his moment of weakness with Ophelia. "That was a long time ago.""I could say the same for me too," she said, crossing her arms and standing defiantly.Mitch frowned. This was no servant, not anymore. He cocked his head. "You are not an Omega," he voiced."I am not," she agreed."Since when?" Mitch asked.Reine shrugged and separated the tray items on the table."You must not be angry at Anna," Mitch said, thinking that Reine's hostile attitude was for Anna. "Because she promised to take you away and left you here. It was a slim escape window and she had to take it...""I am no
MITCH CHESTERAFTER THE FIRST few minutes of hostility between Mitch and Reine, they realized that they both loved Anna in their own ways and decided to work together. Reine was secretly happy for her master, seeing how enamored this brutish Lycan was about her well-being. She watched as Mitch opened his food tray, his lips downturned slightly as he sat down and ate slowly. Then he looked up and saw her watching him. "How was she like?" He asked. "Years ago, before she left this pack, what was she like?"Reine's face softened as she remembered. "She was sweet. She still is. She was gentle and soft spoken. I often thought her to be too shy and meek for her good...""Hmm. How so?" Mitch asked, cutting a piece of sausage and chewing on it thoughtfully."She was supposed to be the alpha in line after her father," Reine said, oblivious to the tight look that crossed Mitch's face. "But she was unfit to rule, so her father arranged the marriage between her and Rick - uh, Alpha Rick."That w
MITCH CHESTER HE PORED OVER the books until his eyes drooped and hours passed, and he did not find anything worthwhile in the books. When he was fed up, he snapped the books shut and stumbled out of the library, shocked when he saw that the sun had gone down. He checked his watch and saw that it was past 7 already. The dinner had begun. He muttered a string of curses under his breath.As if on cue, a messenger came up to him and bowed, "Alpha Rick asked me to remind you of the dinner appointment."Mitch nodded and replied, "Tell him I will be there shortly." He hurried to his suite, oddly welcomed by the faint scent of Anna.Her scent reminded him, and he dialed his kingdom. Draco picked it on the first ring, "Hello?"Mitch grunted and said, "Patch me through to the palace.""Aren't you going to ask me if your kingdom is still in one piece?" Draco chuckled.Mitch snorted and said, "I didn't call to speak with you, Draco Thuram. Patch me to the palace."Draco sighed and directed the c
ANNA KYLIN CHESTERAS SOON AS I ended the call with Mitch, I heard some noise coming from outside. I shuffled out of bed. "I guess my rest is over," I muttered, walking out of the room."What's going on?" I asked the guard closest to me."Let me confirm, Luna," he said and mindlinked the workers while I went to the dining room."Are you hungry, Luna?" Liz and Patty hovered around me. I shook my head."You have not eaten in close to 48 hours," Patty pressed. "Just some pancakes and tea." She said."For dinner?" I chuckled weakly."You can't eat anything heavier," Liz piped. "1 or 2 pancakes?" She looked at me with big eyes. I sighed and nodded, she grinned and hurried into the kitchen."Where are the children?" I asked Patty as I waited."Gran Tate had them bathed and asleep for school tomorrow," Patty answered. "They wanted to stay up and out, helping the men cut wood."I chuckled. Liz came in, carrying a full breakfast. "This isn't two pancakes and a small cup of tea," I said as she
