Anya’s POV My heart was racing because I didn't know what to say to Abel, and the way he tilted his head at me made me feel guilty when I wasn't guilty of any crime. "Speak up, Anya! Where are you coming from at this early hour of the morning?" Abel inquired again, and I fiddled with my fingers. I wasn't certain whether I should tell him the truth or not, so I thought about what those men talked about and concluded it was best if I told him the truth because those men surely talked about the kingdom. I took a big breath before speaking."I woke up early and decided to go for a run," I explained, and Abel nodded, his hard gaze softening and his hands that were on his hips slumped beside him. “It took you long enough to say it, do you think I was going to scold you for going out for a run?” Abel asked, and I shook my head. “Of course not. I actually heard something, and I wasn’t sure how to tell you about it” I said, piquing his interest, he took a few steps closer to me immediatel
Andrei's POVDespite moving at the fastest speed possible, the trip to the attacked pack seemed long, and I glanced at my watch now and then.“Has the nearest medical team arrived there?” I asked Joe, my driver and personal assistant.“No, they should arrive at the same time as us.”I frowned, dissatisfied with that report. Since they had to save lives, why were they moving at such speed?“When we get back, discuss with Andrei and move the more efficient medical teams to the outskirts areas,” they had more chances of being attacked even if we were going to double on security one more time.Joe nodded and then stepped on the accelerator. After working with me for more than eight years, he knew me as well as Abel and could pick how anxious I was about getting there.Thirty minutes later, the car finally stopped in front of the broken pack’s gate, and my nose scrunched up at the heavy stench of blood in the air.Those bastards.Without seeing the damage inside the pack, just by the smell
ANDREI's POVI walked into the palace hurriedly. Using the mind link, I called for a meeting between Abel, Kern, Sam, Anya, and me. I needed to know what was happening. Just ten minutes later, all five of us were gathered. I looked into their faces. "What is going on?" I asked. They all looked towards Anya. I turned to her. "So? What is going on?". I asked in an inpatient tone. I hate my interactions with her because they made me feel many emotions I didn't want to feel. Now was neither the time nor the place to think about it, though, so I pushed all of it to the back of my mind and tried to focus on what was happening here. "Well, I went for a run and saw two men. They were covered in dark cloaks. They mentioned wanting to get into some next-stage plan but that the brothers were too smart. I knew that they were talking about you three. I tried to leave, but they saw me. I managed to escape them because I was in my wolf form, so they did not see me. It seems that they had a hand
ANDREI's POVI watched as every one of them sucked in a breath immediately after I said this. I watched their faces as I searched for traces of guilt in them. There was a mixture of shock, anger, and fear in their faces. But not guilt. That was until I saw three of the Elders who sat close to each other. They were Elder Timothy, Elder Flinn, and Elder Harris.The three of them shifted in their seats and avoided my eyes. They had panicked and guilty looks on their faces."Your Highness, how did you come to this conclusion? Do you have any idea who the mole is?" One of the Elders asked me. "A wolf who was out on a walk saw two masked wolves in the woods. They were talking about attacking the palace. He immediately came to report what he saw, but he could not find any of us, so he told Anya about it. She reported back to us," Abel said, giving them an explanation. "And you expect us to believe the words of this woman whom we don't even know?! We don't know where she came from, and we
ANDREI'S POV "We are not moles, Your Highness!" Elder Flinn and Elder Timothy immediately fell to their knees and started pledging their allegiance to me when the guards said that they found something in their house. "Yes! I did not do anything wrong, Your Highness! You know that I have always been loyal to you and the throne! I will defend this throne with my life, and I won't let anything to it! Please, you have to find out what's going on and give us justice! I can't take the blame for something that I didn't do!" He said. "Your Highness!! I am not a mole, and I have never communicated with outside forces to bring down the pack! I have always been loyal to this pack and the royal pack! I would never work with anyone to bring down the pack!" Elder Timothy said."Your Highness, you need to please investigate what is going on and find out who is trying to frame us! I did not do anything!" Elder Flinn added. "We have investigated, and we did find these things in your house, Elder F
ANDREI's POVHow are you going to explain this, Elder Flinn?" I asked him. His eyes went wide as he looked at the phone in my hand, with genuine shock."Your Highness...I don't...I don't know where that came from! It's not mine!" I said."Is this how you communicate with the mole?" Abel asked coldly."No, no, Your Highness! Of course not! I have never betrayed this pack in my entire life before! I have always been loyal to you! I am not communicating with outsiders!" He told me.I looked at him coldly. "So how do you explain this mobile phone? There's only one phone number in it!" I said. "Someone must be trying to frame me, Your Highness! The only thing I did was cheat the citizens! All I did was take more than was necessary on taxes! I did not betray the pack!" I said. "I think that you're only saying this to lower your punishment! Who could have gotten into your house to frame you? And it was in the same place you hid the appeal letters from everyone!" Abel said to him."I don'
ANYA'S POVThe five of us were left alone in the meeting room. Andrei had a worried look on his face. "What do you think, Abel? Who do you think is guilty? Elder Flinn or Elder Timothy?" Andrei asked. Abel had a conflicted look on his face. "I have no idea. We found a phone with Elder Flinn, but I don't think that's enough to pin him as the culprit. It could be someone else. Or even Elder Timothy. I know he has been stealing from the pack, but what if the outsider he was contacting also paid him in cash?" Abel asked. Andrei nodded his head. "You are right. But Elder Flinn is the most suspicious one here," He said. "Also, I think Elder Flinn and Elder Timothy are not the only suspects here. When you announced that a search was going on, Elder Harris's gaze was very suspicious. And he looked scared and guilty all through the meeting. I suspect that he may be the mole. The guards found nothing in his room, but this doesn't mean he's not a suspect! Abel said.I gasped at this. I hadn'
ANYA'S POV"I said she's not leaving! She's going to stay here! Anya is my mate, and I can't let my mate stay with some other man!" Andrei yelled. The look on Kern and Abel's faces was priceless, and even though I knew we were mates, I was just as shocked. I was speechless. I never thought he'd say something like this...he never wanted me as his mate.What is going on with him? "What ...what did you say? She's your mate?" Abel asked as he looked between the both of us. "Yes. Anya is my mate. So she's not going anywhere. She's safe here!" Andrei said. He stormed out as soon as he said this, leaving me alone with the questioning gazes of Abel and Kern..."Anya....what is going on? Why didn't you tell us that he's your mate?" Kern asked."Yes. You had many opportunities to tell us about this, so why didn't you say anything about it?" Abel echoed. He looked outraged. I took one look at his face, and I looked away almost immediately. I could not bring myself to face him. "I....""Wh
"Young lady....I just want you to know that you are one of the most powerful healers that I have met in my life. You are definitely the most powerful. And those powers have recently been activated in you. This happens usually when you mate with your mate. Tell me, did you recently mate wiry your mate?" She asked me. I nodded my head shyly when she asked me this. "Actually....we are all her mates. This is something that we are confused about. Is it possible for someone to have more than one mates?" Abel asked. The moon goddess took my palm and started to read it. She had a worried look on her face but then the look relaxed after a few seconds. "Yes. Although it is rare, some healers do have more than one mates. In fact, I have only met one other healer and she only had two mates you have three mates. Since you have mated with all of them, the powers that were sealed inside of you have been activated now. You really need to be careful with what you use your powers for. You have the
ANYAI sat in the living room as Kern handed me a cup of hot tea. Andrei and Abel were both sitting by my side. I had just gone through a traumatic experience and I was still trying to recover from it."Do you want to talk about what happened?" Abel asked me. I nodded my head. I was still scared but I knew that they were worried about me. I had to talk to them so that they at least won't be so worried. "You don't have to tell us if you aren't fit do do it Anya. You have been through something that was clearly very traumatic. You dont have to say anything that you don't want to" Kern comforted me. I shook my head. I wanted to tell them. "I can talk about it. I want to talk about it. Actually, yesterday, after we had sex, I woke up feeling this heat all over my body. I couldn't understand what was going on. Lydia called me just then and I told her what was going on. She told me to come meet her and that she'd be able to help me. She is a healer so I trusted her and went with her. T
ANDREI"Have you found out where she is yet?" I asked Abel as I paced my study. Abel shook his head. "The men I had asked to tail Callum yesterday are still trying to find out where he is. I am sure they are going to have information for me soon!" Abel said. "Am I supposed to just wait here for them to tell us where she is?! What if something happens to her before then? Are you going to take responsibility for it Abel?" I asked him. "You really need to calm down Andrei. You are not the only one who is worried about her. I am also very worried about her wellbeing but we are not going to find her just because you are behaving like this! Are you done looking at the CCTV cameras Kern?" Abel asked. I looked over Kern who was seated in front of a computer looking at security footages. "Yes. I got something. Last night, she had left the house. Someone was actually waiting to pick her up at the front gate yesterday. She seemed to know this person!" Kern said. "Why would Anya leave the h
ANYA"Hey Lucy" I said as I picked up the phone. "How are you doing?" She asked me in a cheerful voice.."I.....I am not okay at all. I feel....I feel a itching on my body. It just gets worse!" I said. I had no idea why I told her..I just had a feeling that she'd be able to help me since the was a healer. "Hmmm....that's strange. Do you think that you can come out? I'll take a look at you and see if I can help you" Lucy said. "Oh. Let me just wake Andrei and the rest....""Andrei? Is that your mate?! You can't tell him that you're coming to see me! Remember that I am running away from most Alphas! I can't let any of them see me!" She said to me. "Oh....okay! I am going to come alone. I feel so terrible!" I said. "I'll wait for you" Lucy said and ended the call. I quickly picked up a coat and left the house. As I left, I could not help but wonder how she knew that Andrei was an Alpha. I never told her this..Did Callum tell her?!.....I woke up feeling a lot better than I had f
ANYA"I am not talking about Callum. I am going to deal with him myself. I am talking about you and Kern. What exactly is going on between you both?" Andrei asked me as he gave me and Kern a suspicious look. My heart sank to my chest when I heard this. Did he figure out something? Or did Kern tell him himself? I knew that we were going to have to come clean to both of them at some point but I was not ready for it yet at all. I had wanted to avoid it for as much as possible. "I don't know what you are talking about. What do you think is going on?" I asked him back, trying to deflate the question but Andrei looked like he was not going to believe me. "Do you think that I am going to fall for that? I can see that there's something going on between both of you. All three of you are keeping something from me. Are you going to tell me the truth or do you want me to find out myself?" He asked me. I looked over at Kern, wanting to know if he had told Andrei anything but he just shook hi
ANDREI"Nothing is going on between us!! Why are you lying?!" Anya asked Callum. He just flashed her a smile. "Don't tell me you have forgotten how we met? Or if you have forgotten, don't tell me that you've forgotten how I got you flowers yesterday. You were holding them so tight yesterday!" He said to her. Anya blushed. But I could tell that she was just embarrassed by him. Callum knew how to be shameless! "You forced me to take them! I did not want anything to do with you or your flowers! You are the one who forced me to take them even though I did not want to! Also, I already threw them away! Stop trying to cause a misunderstanding here!" Anya said. "What? Are you worried that your mate will reject you because of me? You know, this is why I said you are not a good match for him. It would be best if you came to me. He's so cold, and he doesn't know how to treat women right. Why should you be with him? It would be best if you came to me. I'll make sure that you'll never lack any
ANYAI stood still as I glared at Callum. All through the night, I had been haunted by him coming to see me out of nowhere, and I had hoped that he would lose interest in me and not bother me again. But it seemed that my prayers were not answered yesterday because he was the first person I met outside of school immediately as I got out of glasses today. It appeared he had been waiting for me for a long time. He smiled at me as I glared at him even more hatefully. "What do you think you are doing here? What do you hope to gain from all of this?" I asked him. "I think I already told you yesterday, Anya. I like you and want us to explore what is going on between us. I feel like we could make a good mash as long as you can stop being biased against me and give me a fair chance," he said"I think that you have gone completely crazy because that is the only explanation for what is going on here. There is nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing going on between us. Anything you think is
ANDREII sat in the car as Abel drove me to Anya's school. I looked forward to singing, especially since I had not seen her in a long time. I hoped that she would be ready to accept me and our relationship when I saw her. I had done a lot of thinking when she was away, and I realised that I could not let go of her even if it meant I had to share with my brother. She was my mate first, and I did not want to give up on her at all. "So besides that bastard, Callum, who else did Kern say was bothering Anya?" I asked Abel. "He said that a classmate of hers had been picking on her. It had been going on for a long time, even before she got to know us, and it just got worse in the past few weeks because of a guy she likes to be interested in, Anya. A few days ago, a classmate of ours and our friend kidnapped Anya and tried to kill her. However, Kern had stepped in on time, and both girls are already in police custody and awaiting jail now. Their fathers are mighty men in the town, and Kern
ANYA"Why are you laughing? Do you not want to let her go? She doesn't deserve this, you know!" I yelled at Callum. "Is that what she told you?" He asked me. "Yes. That is what she told me! You need to give her some space. She's a good person who was forced to do bad things for you. I know you feel like no one can stop what you want to do and that you are invincible, but you need to let her go, or else there will be consequences!" I said to him. "You know....you are so cute that it's funny!" He said and burst out laughing again."Why are you laughing?! I am being serious here!" I said. Suddenly, Callum stopped laughing as he looked at me seriously. "You really should stop believing people so blindly. You have no idea what you're getting yourself into. And you'll get hurt if you aren't smart about the people you trust!" He said to me. "What are you talking about?" I asked. Something told me that he was earnest this time. But I didn't think that I trusted people unquestioningly.
