“It used to be. She didn't tell me because she doesn't want me to abandon her.” “Would you abandon Jenna if you knew where Mom was buried?” “Immediately.” “Dad, but that's awful.” “She knows I only married her because she gave me hope that one day she would tell me.” “Daddy, Jenna really loves you. Of course she'll hide where she buried Mom's body, since she knows you're only with her because of that.” “She's sick, Anna. That's not love. When you love someone, you want to see them happy. And not hold them back for selfish reasons.” “You seem so happy when you're together that I never imagined you were going through a drama.” “She's not bad company, and I didn't say I'm unhappy with her... Perhaps if she had revealed herself to me and not blackmailed me, I might have fallen in love with her. But when you believe you're under an obligation, that feeling nullifies the chances of love being born.” “I fell in love with Adam, even though I was held captive in his hou
Adonis smiled. “The Alpha? Ah, Anna... The boss wanted to kill her himself, for hiding the existence of his son from him.” Anna felt the tears welling up again. Adonis was right. Her father wouldn't spare Jenna without the intervention of someone like Adam, and when Adam found out everything, he was likely to celebrate, and even participate in Jenna's death. Although her father had said he wouldn't give her a slow death, he might not be able to resist. She was afraid of what her father would do to Jenna. He didn't know why she had hidden the diary, nor did he understand why she had lied about it being stolen. But that didn't matter. She was his friend. She stood by her and kept her secret, even though she knew it could cost her her life. She deserved Anna to do everything in her power to try and save her. And even at the risk of Adam refusing, she would ask him for help. But first, she had to eliminate all other resources. “Adonis, can you bypass Henry's security and get Jenna
Anna's father arrived at the mansion where he was living with his grandchildren and was welcomed by them. Their joy was contagious, and he let himself stay there with them. He took great pleasure in their company and loved them more than anything in the world. However, he knew that the twins, David and Donald, didn't have the same potential as Ian and Tayme. It was obvious that they weren't human either, but... They would probably follow in Maxwell's footsteps and moral standards, and that made them useless to him professionally. They weren't fit to run the empire he had built, and the one he planned to steal from Alpha. There was no denying that they were intelligent, but they wouldn't know how to run an empire of obedient werewolves and an entire world of mafia. Anna needed to give Adam a son. That was all it took for him to achieve absolute power. For a while, he considered using Ian, but realized that his grandson was more valuable as an ally than as a hostage. That's why hi
Adonis drove up to the green house. There was no one on guard and the house was empty. Suddenly, it was night. Anna entered the house and hugged herself. It was cold inside. She turned to Adonis, who was staring at her with a dark look on his face. “Do whatever you have to do, Adonis. I can't wait to see Jenna free.” In a second he was standing in front of her and running his fingers slowly down her arms. “I've dreamed of this day, Anna.” “Please, Adonis. I don't want to talk to you!” She said impatiently. What did he want? A romance? He grabbed her by the buttocks and made her lie on the table, lifted up her dress and then ripped off her panties. Anna closed her eyes, but soon felt his hand squeezing her chin and opened her eyes again. “I want you to look at what's going to come inside you, Anna. Alfa and his husband don't have half the power that I have and I want you to know what it's like to have a real, vigorous man. I'm going to stick my penis in you until
“You shouldn't have done that, Adam. I wanted to take Ian and enjoy his company a bit more, since he doesn't leave your side when he's at home, and when he's not at home, he takes refuge in video games. You robbed me of a chance to spend more time with him.” “I thought that since your priorities had changed, this task would be too costly for you. And on the other hand, Ian was anxious, both to buy the presents and to deliver them.” Anna noticed Adam's meticulous attempt to get her to argue with him, insinuating that she wasn't a good mother. So she calmed down, refusing to play his game and be openly manipulated. And besides, she was anxious about Jenna's situation. She didn't want to upset herself any further. “And how did it go there? How's your prisoner?” Adam asked after a while, when he saw that Anna wasn't going to insist on the subject of Ian. “She's not very well. I finished with her.” “That surprises me. You were so creative... To use everything you've taken, I t
Alexandre arrived at the mansion all sweaty, which was unusual for a werewolf, at exactly four o'clock in the afternoon, saying that Alpha had asked him to accompany Anna on the video call to her family. At first, Anna was annoyed that Adam wanted to control what she saw and said. She felt that he paid too much attention to her every move, all the time, and didn't give her a break. She was about to complain about it to Alexander, but gave up and felt the bad mood go away. If Adam had sent someone, it was because he was well, and she was glad to hear it. It was a good sign. She made the video call and it wasn't long before her entire family appeared on the computer screen. Jenna and her father were in the background, while the children shouted excitedly and her paternal grandmother laughed, trying to calm them down so that they could speak one at a time. However, Anna couldn't concentrate on her children. She looked at Jenna, sitting next to her father, with a calm, even happy c
“I think you've finished talking to your father.” He said and looked at his cell phone. “Whose number were you dialing?” He frowned. “Has Max changed his phone number? Or do you have another lover?” “No. I was calling Jenna.” “Why, of all the people in that house, would you try to communicate with Jenna? And why didn't you ask your father to give her your cell phone?” Anna stared at Adam defiantly. “I wanted to warn her that Dad intends to kill her today.” She revealed that she expected to see surprise in his eyes, but he just shook his head in understanding. “Your father would shoot her in the leg before she could run two steps away.” “You don't seem surprised by Dad's decision... You didn't even ask why he was sentenced.” “I have two reasons not to be surprised. Firstly, because I don't care, and secondly, I'm a werewolf, Anna. You seem to keep forgetting that I have surveillance cameras on the werewolves' eyes twenty-four hours a day... And if you feel any affec
There was a moment of awkward silence, in which Adam's mother looked uncomfortable, and Adam stood in the middle of the room, apparently not knowing what to do next, or what to say. The children ran into the mansion to show Ian the room that had been prepared for him. Adam's mother stepped forward, staring at Adam with tears in her eyes, full of turbulent feelings, while Adam waited with his indifferent manner. Suddenly, she seemed to make up her mind and approached him, almost running, and hugged him. He hugged back, lightly, without much emotion. He didn't seem to consider that Suzi was his mother, or at least, he didn't like to let on that he felt anything for her other than what he felt for someone who worked for him. But she was happy, crying at finally seeing her youngest son again. Anna realized at that moment that they hadn't seen each other for many years. She couldn't even imagine what it would be like for her to be without her children for so long. She loved
