ANNAI WOKE UP with a throbbing headache. I just wanted to relax in bed. But I had a job to do, so I swung my leg out of bed and went up to wash up. While I was dressing up, I heard a small knock on the front door and listened as Alphonso went to answer it. I could not hear above a murmur, but a few seconds later, the door was closed and Alphonso approached the room.He knocked on my door."Come in," I called while styling my hair in the mirror. He pushed the door open and bowed."Good morning, Luna," he greeted. "The alpha of this pack has invited you to join him for breakfast."My brows furrowed. So Tate got his way with the mull-headed alpha. I looked at Alphonso's reflection and nodded. "I will be there in a few minutes.""His omega is waiting on the front porch," He said before walking away.I finished up and went out to the living room. Alphonso was lounging on a couch. I looked at him, "You are coming with me." I said. He cocked his head. "The invitation didn't include me, ma'
MITCH "WHERE ARE YOU taking us, Dad?" Aiden's calm voice asked as Mitch led them to the garage. Mitch often wondered how these two managed to be twins. Aiden did not match Addison's energy at all. He was like an old man trapped in a child's body.Addison skipped ahead and tried to pull Mitch to hasten up. Even though she did not know where they were headed. He entered the garage and headed to one of the cars in the arrays of expensive automobiles that filled the hall. He opened the back door of a black SUV and shoved Addison inside. "Since mom's not here," Addison said as Mitch leaned over to buckle her seat belt. "Maybe I could ride up front with you.""There's no way in -" He clamped his mouth shut.Addison giggled. "You were about to say a bad word," Aiden muttered, climbing into the car and strapping himself in. Mitch snorted and closed the door before entering the driver's seat and pulling out of the garage. As he drove out, he saw Draco standing at the front doors of the pa
RICK FORSON"YEAH. GIVE It to me, Alpha. Harder!" the lady arched her back expertly as Rick slammed into her. Her moans filled the room as he increased tempo and intensity. He jackhammered into her for some more seconds, groaning with the effort and shuddering as the force of his orgasm shook him as he poured his seed into her.The lady stood up and locked her lips, smiling seductively. "How was it?" She asked.His breath was labored as he said, "Take the money in the drawer cabinet and get out.""I just needed the review in case of next time...""Get. Out." Rick snarled.The lady scoffed and snatched the and of cash from the drawer and stormed out of the room, brushing past Jones who was about to come in."What was that all about?" Jones asked.Rick grunted and went to the bathroom to wash himself up. He was feeling disgusted with himself. He always felt disgusted with himself especially after any one of his encounters with one of the countless whores that roamed the city. Sex with B
ANNAI dropped my glasses from my eyes and stretched my back, getting a good pop. I sighed and swiveled away from the microscope I had been staring into for the past 3 hours."Any diagnosis?" Doctor Phil came up to me holding two steaming Styrofoam cups, which he handed one to me.I shook my head and took a small sip of the coffee. "None."He sat down on the stool beside me and peered at my worksheet. He had warmed up to me since last night after knowing that I was a prestigious doctor too."See here," he said, pointing at one of the zoomed-in printed blood samples showing the microbes. "We think that this is the virus causing the sickness," His fingers were pointed to a grotesque shape in the picture. "That is the only unexplainable thing that we found in all the infected blood samples."I nodded in agreement."But this strange virus isn't just attaching itself to a normal cell that I know," he continued after another sip of his coffee, giving him a foam mustache. "The virus is attac
ANNATHERE WAS SILENCE on the other end of the call, only the sound of Mitch's breathing."Do you really think so?" He asked me.I nodded but remembered that he could not see me. "Yes. You should meet this alpha and see how he treats his pack members. Even his Luna.""So a shitty alpha has potentially put all of the werewolf race at risk," He muttered."That sounds about right, yes." I agreed."Has he treated you badly in any way?" I could hear the guttural rumble of his beast shadowing his voice. I was not out to start a war, so I shook my head and said, "No, they have been very kind."He scoffed. "I think you are lying, but I will take your word for it.""Dad. Can we get another ice cream?" I heard Addison ask."You know ice cream is bad for the health and teeth," I said to Mitch. "I don't want you feeding my children with processed fat."He grunted and said to Addison, "Yes we can." Then he hung up the call. I groaned in frustration. This man was going to spoil my children. I turn
MITCHAFTER THE CALL with Anna, he herded the children to the car and drove back to the kingdom. The ride back home was strangely quiet. He glanced at them and saw that they were buying themselves by staring at the roadside.He stopped the car at the entrance of the kingdom and came out with the children. "Park the car in the garage," He told a guard standing nearby. The guard saluted and got into the car while Mitch strolled along with the children by his side."Why are we walking, Dad?" Aiden asked."I need you to exercise off the sugar you just consumed," He answered.Addison slipped her hand out of his and bolted ahead. Mitch chuckled as he watched her jump in the air freely. "Don't you want to join your sister?" He asked Aiden, who still walked calmly by his side.Aiden shook his head. "I don't want to get dirty." He said looking as his sister rolled in the snow.Mitch cocked his head. The words of his son never failed to surprise him. Which kid doesn't want to run in the snow?
MITCH"DAD, WHY DO we have snow all the time?" Addison asked. She has crouched on the floor ahead of them, running her fingers through the snow.Her mother would have chided her, but Anna wasn't here so Mitch didn't say anything about it. "Don't you like the snow?" He asked.She stood up and came towards them. "I like it," she said, holding Mitch's hand. "I'm just wondering. Our teacher at school taught us there were four seasons. But here, it seems like we are always in winter."Mitch chuckled and made a mental note to increase the salaries of the teachers in his kingdom school because they were doing a good job."It's because we are in the mountains," Aiden answered."Is that true?" Addison asked, looking up at Mitch who nodded."We are at a higher altitude than the normal people," He replied."Alt-tit-tude..." she mulled over the heavy word in her mouth. "So the closer we are to the sky, the more snow we get?""Hmm. That's one way to see it." He said.They walked to the palace. Dra
ANNAAFTER SITTING IN the hospital for hours, I decided to take a stroll to clear my head and prepare myself for the next thing we had to do. It was not going to be easy, but I was ready to do whatever it took to cure this plague.I hung my lab coat on a rack as I walked out. The sun was high and bright. I closed my eyes and raised my head to soak it up.As I walked leisurely, I allowed myself to take in and appreciate the natural beauty around me. This pack was a small one, but it was surrounded by nature. All evergreen trees, and exotic wildlife, and I could even hear the low trickle of a stream in the distance.It was nothing like the mountain Alps. Definitely not.I headed towards the direction of the stream and after a few minutes, I came out on the river bank. The stream was clear and flowed easily. I walked along with the current.What would my children be doing now? I wondered."What
