Anna woke up early the next morning to loud, insistent knocks on the door. When she opened the door, one of the men was ready to knock again and when he saw Anna he was startled and stopped himself. Anna. She couldn't resist and smiled amusedly. “Did something happen?” “The phone will ring in five minutes.” He said turning red and left. Anna washed her face and ran to the office. She entered just as the phone started ringing. “Adam?” The breathing on the other end sounded like relief. “Anna... You mustn't leave the house until I get back.” “Why? I need to... Shop for lunch.” She said, thinking of the pharmacist. “No. Send Sarah or Kate...” “I sent them away.” Anna said and became anxious. “This isn't the time for jealousy, Anna.” His voice sounded tired. “It wasn't that, they...” Anna stopped herself. She didn't like Kate, but she didn't want Adam to kill her and Sarah... Sarah she wanted to have the chance to kill with her own hands one day. “They refused t
At the hospital, she was seen immediately as soon as Jenna handed over her documents at reception. Anna Adam Lens. She didn't know that he had changed her name, but she thought it was polite. She passed other pregnant women, and a reception with patients and their carers. When they could no longer hear her, Anna whispered her doubts to Jenna. “Are all these people werewolves?” “No. We can't be that obvious, can we? This hospital is one of the most sought-after in the world. Our medical specialists are highly sought-after because they are superior in intelligence and practice high-tech medical knowledge. An advance that has not yet reached other hospitals. Sometimes we need to control ourselves. In ultrasound, for example, our devices are more effective and can detect a baby at a few weeks old, while humans can't see more than a speck.” “I'm going to see my baby?” Anna said and stopped in astonishment. Jenna stopped and so did Genevieve, and they stared at her. “What's
When the gate to the mansion opened, Caricatura was waiting for them with his arms crossed and Kate and Sarah were smiling victoriously beside him. Anna got out of the car and intended to walk past them without saying anything, but Caricatura's voice was too harsh for her to ignore. “You're not leaving this house again. I'll break your arm if you try.” “Yes. And then you'll explain yourself to the boss.” Anna said defiantly. Caricatura looked indifferently at Anna. “Those are his orders.” He said and turned to Genevieve. “You should pack your bags. The boss needs your family's men and territory. I'm taking you. I don't want to be away from the battle because of a damn spoiled human!” Genevieve looked at Kate. “You amaze me by your courage to come back.” Kate took Caricature's arm intimately. “The boss asked Caricature to bring me back. It seems I'm important.” Genevieve smiled softly. “You're as important as what he defecates in the toilet, Kate. If he knows
Anna pulled away from the embrace. “But why shouldn't I fall in love, if Adam was showing great affection for me? It can't be reciprocated with any lesser feeling than what I feel.” “Anna, you don't have to reciprocate. It's not your love he wants. I'm sorry to have to say something so insensitive, but you should know that for him, you're just a young body that he can pick up and use whenever he wants. He's always had bodies, but from older, more experienced women. You're new to him. Don't expect too much from this relationship.” “It's no use knowing that, Jenna, my heart bleeds, I know you're telling the truth, but I can't convince my heart not to beat faster just by hearing his name.” “Oh, girl! I just didn't want to see your heart broken, but... Nobody knows tomorrow. Be happy, don't think, don't make plans. Just live.” The teachers arrived and Anna was distracted by her studies.... Two weeks went by and on those days, when Anna wasn't studying, she stayed in her
Anna looked suspiciously at Genevieve. She was planning something. And that made her happy, because she knew it wouldn't be anything bad about her. Together, they entered the house and the cook approached with wide eyes. “What's wrong?” Anna asked calmly and affectionately, as she treated everyone there. “The chef didn't want to go to his room.” “He must be tired in bed. Don't worry.” “But he went to a bed...” Anna felt her heart freeze at the thought that he might be in some room of the house making love to Sarah. “I'll go there.” Anna said determinedly. “Which room are they in?” The cook was silent and stared at the floor. “Stop that!” Genevieve scolded her. “Can't you see that the girl's imagination travels at the speed of light, with fertile ideas? Tell me once and for all where they are!” “They went to Anna's room. Sarah didn't want to, but he insisted...” Jenna said, arriving and answering for the cook. Anna and Jenna looked at each othe
Anna approached the bed, after locking the door from the inside, and sat down next to Adam, took his hand and kissed it lovingly, while he watched her attentively. She thought she saw a glint of fear in his eye, and it bothered her. She wanted to talk to him about the baby, but maybe this wasn't a good time. “Why didn't you come home to recover here?” Anna asked after a while. “I needed some time away from everything and everyone.” “Why did you bring Kate and Sarah back? You... It undermines my authority within my own home. I had strong reasons for sending them away...” “And I have strong reasons for keeping them here.” “She's really going to stay here, right?” Anna asked. She was completely indifferent to Sarah's presence at that moment. “Yes... She asked me, and I didn't want to deny it. This is the time to keep her close. I need to know what she's up to. I've already taken steps. Her cell phone has been cloned, and if I find any suspicious conversations, she'll
Adam's expression turned somber, but Anna didn't notice. “Three of them are already at home. And one of them, Caricatura, is still in the werewolf hospital. He was wounded in the kidney. The shots they fired at my men were meant to kill. They're lucky to be alive, which can't be said of the child who unfortunately paid for Ryan's betrayal with his life... I was proud of you, knowing that you directed my men to give the child's family all the support they needed. That's very important to me now. I need the people here to trust in my protection and care for each and every one of them.” “I'm very sorry to have to tell you that the child's family is thinking of moving.” “I've been informed of that. I'll visit them in person later.” “You won't let them go?” “I can't.” “You're the boss. If there's anyone who can free this family, who are grieving the sudden death of their son, it's you. Why did you take a human?” “He insisted and it was his wish to be transformed.”
He removed Genevieve's clothes and laid her on the bed, covering her body with his. He caressed her body until she began to squirm under him, and to touch her body in all the right places, with his expert hands, and then with his mouth. They had wild, relentless, insatiable sex for more than three hours. When Adam finally decided to leave Genevieve's body so that she could rest, she smiled. “Wow! Adam... How I've missed this!” “I won't let you miss it again.” “But... What about Anna?” “She's my wife.” He said simply. Genevieve became pensive. “Are you going to show me what you did in the room where you don't allow anyone in?” Adam smiled. “No.” “I know you did something in that room, as soon as your father bought Anna...” “Genevieve... Don't bother me with questions.” “I can't help it... If I hadn't arrived, would you have killed Anna?” “I don't think I'll be able to stop it from happening.” “Does she deserve it?” “She... Anna told me horrible things.
