ABEL'S POVAndrei slammed his spoon on the table angrily. "I said no!" he yelled. I glared at him, but I knew that nothing would change his mind at this point. Since he had already decided, I couldn't get him to change his mind. I don't understand why he insists on treating Anya like this. She didn't do anything to him! She is his mate, for crying out loud! "I will ask some of the female wolves to spar with her. If she can defeat them, we will continue from there," Andrei said with a sneer. I looked over at Anya, and she had a hurt look on her face. She, too, could tell that Andrei was looking down on her. But then, she was back to looking indifferent. It was as if she didn't care at all. I sighed in my mind. I had a feeling that Andrei would regret treating Anya like this very soon. .....Anya and I were training the next day when Andrei walked in with two girls following behind him. I stopped the training and watched Andrei. What is he planning to do? "What are you doing, A
ANDREI'S POV"Why would you do that?" Someone yelled from behind us. I turned to see Kern. I didn't even know when he got here. I had no idea that he was watching too. I could not help with gaps when I saw this. The rule was to compete as if they were in a real fight but not to use dangerous tricks against each other because I didn't want them to get hurt. Sandra had not adhered to that rule because she had been choking Anya just a second agoBecause Anya was thrown against the wall and her wolf hit the wall with a lot of force, she was forced to change back into her human form. She wasn't wearing any clothes, though, and all of us could see her nakedness. My throat went dry when I saw her naked body. I knew I should not be thinking about those things, but I could not help myself. No matter how many times I saw her naked, I never got tired of her body. She covered her breasts with her hands as she looked pitifully over to Abel. I was angry. Angry at Abel and angry at Anya.Anyt
ANYA'S POVI was lying on my bed in my room. I stared at the ceiling blankly. I had really thought that I was strong enough to leave this place on my own, but what happened proved to me that I was still not strong enough. Kern had said that she played dirty, but what she said was the truth. In the real world, if someone did attack me, they wouldn't be playing fair. They would be trying to kill me in whatever ways that they can. I needed to get stronger in the shortest time possible. I wanted to keep training so that I could make myself better, but Abel and Andrei said that I could not train and that I had to rest. So I was in my room with nothing to do except think about how I was going to escape from this place. I really can't stand living here for one month. And I don't think I can stand Andrei for one more hour. I have been doing everything that I can to avoid Andrei in the palace. And since he had not come to look for me on his own, it was working. I was still thinking random
ANYA'S POVI nodded my head, not knowing if I should believe this or not. "Hey....there is somewhere else that we need to first," Abel said to me. I could not help but be curious about this."Where is it?" I asked. He gave me a secretive smile. "Come with me!" He said. ....He took me to a seamstress shop. I looked at Abel as we walked in. I had an idea of what he was trying to do, and I could not help but be worried. What is wrong with him? "Abel...you ...".Abel ignored me and walked over to one of the women in the shops. "Hello. We need some dresses—ready-made ones," he said to her. Her face lit up with a beautiful smile. She looked all too happy to make some sales. "I think we have some that will be great for her. Come with me!" She said. She led the both of us to an inner part of the store and brought out some dresses. "Take a look at this one. It just came out today. And this one, too....I am sure that it will go great with your skin colour," she said as she handed c
ANYA'S POVAbel pushed the purple dress at me. "Just take it, Anya."He looked like he wouldn't let it go, so I had no choice but to take it. I took the dress from him and walked into the changing room. A few minutes later, I walked out. Abel's mouth fell open when he saw me. He looked at me with a heated gaze, and I could not help but feel conscious. I realised that Abel's opinion mattered much to me, and I cared about what he thought of my clothes. "Do....do I look good? I have never tried this colour before, so I don't know if it'd look good on me. I think that I should go change. I just put it on without thinking if it will look good on me or not ...I...." I was babbling on, trying to explain in case he thought the dress did not look good on me...But he walked closer to me and placed a hand on my lips. "Don't say that. It looks good on you. Also, never doubt how good you look, Anya, because you are very beautiful!" He told me. "I ....." I tried to say something, but my mou
ANYA'S POV"Okay," Abel agreed. I looked at him in shock. Okay? Just like that? Does he trust me that much? I have used this explanation before, and I thought that he would at least be suspicious and ask me some more questions, but he just said okay and left it at that.I suddenly realised that I couldn't read Abel's expression. I could not tell if he believed me or if there was something that he was hiding from me. "We are here," he announced. I looked at him. "we are where?" I asked him. "The place I wanted to show you," Abel said as he flashed me a smile. My heart must have skipped more than a beat when he flashed me that smile. I had been so focused on trying to map out the places he was showing me in my head that I did not notice that he had a particular destination in his head. I looked outside the car. My mouth fell open when I saw where we were. It was stunning...I had no words to describe it. Beautiful and colourful petals were falling, which made it even more beauti
ANYA'S POV"I know I should not have kissed you...but I am going to do it anyway" Abel said. With that, his lips crashed on mine in a fierce kiss. For a second, my mind went completely blank. I had no idea what to do. Abel.....he was kissing me! And I had no idea how I was supposed to react! Should I push him away...or should I pull him in? I had my answer almost immediately. He teased my mouth with his tongue, and all of my self-control crumbled down just then. I opened my mouth and kissed him back. Abel pushed his tongue into my mouth, and the both of us kissed passionately as if our lives depended on it. I have never felt such emotions in my life before. I could not help but think how easier my life would have been if my mate was Abel..I wouldn't need to plan on how to live...I think that the both of us would have been very happy together....We were still kissing each other without a single care in the world. Someone could have walked in on us and Abel and I could have go
ANYA'S POV"Why? We are having so much fun! Anya won't be able to come out like this once her training starts! Why do we have to go back?" He asked. Abel looked over at me. "Andrei has asked us to come back," Abel said solemnly. "Why does he want us to come back? Did something happen?" Kern asked. Abel shrugged. "I don't know. But he sounded really serious on the phone. I guess we will just have to go back and see what happens," Abel said to us.....We arrived back at the palace thirty minutes later. We immediately made it over to the meeting room because that was where Andrei told us to meet him. Immediately we got there, we saw Andrei and Ariana there. Ariana was breeding, and I immediately knew that something was going to happen. "She is here! Let's check her room immediately! I am sure that she's the one who took it!" Ariana said. I looked at her in surprise. "What are you talking about?" I asked her. "You know what I am talking about! How dare you pretend?! Since you d
