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
ANYA’S POV“You are saying that this maid saw Anya acting suspiciously?” Abel asked Ariana. Ariana nodded her head. “Yes! She did see her! That’s what she told me! She won’t lie about this, so Anya did it. Let’s check her room!” Ariana insistedI felt like laughing and crying at the same time. I knew she had set a trap for me, and that item would be found in my room. No matter how hard I try, I won’t be able to get myself out of this. “No matter what I say, Ariana, I won’t be able to get myself out of this. It just seems convenient that you lost it when I wasn’t home, right?” I asked her. “You are just trying to stall for time!” She saidThen she turned to Andrei.“You said that we had to wait for her to come back so we can hear her side, Andrei. You can see that she has nothing to say because I am right! Let’s go check her room now!” Ariana said“Anya… if you did not take anything, then you should let us check. Ariana won’t blame you if she finds nothing in your room!” Andrei sa
ANYA'S POV"So let me ask you again, did you see her acting suspiciously? How did that bracelet get in her room?" Andrei asked the maid. Ariana darted her eyes around. I could see that she was starting to get uncomfortable. "What are you trying to do, Andrei?! Don't you believe me?! You already saw this in her room and are still trying to make excuses for her! Don't you believe that she can do anything wrong at all?!" Ariana yelled. "We are just trying to get to the bottom of this since Anya wasn't even here all day. Since this was found in her room, we must find out how it got there. If someone is trying to frame her on purpose, they will get what's coming for them!" Abel said. "I don't know what you are talking about! She did steal from me! I don't care if she's a guest or not! I know that she's trying to steal from me! Why haven't you talked about the punishment she will get now that it's been found in her room?" Ariana asked. No one was paying attention to her at this point.
CHAPTER 46ANYA’S POVI walked over to my door and opened it. Frankly, I wasn’t surprised to see Abel there. I knew he would want to see me after tonight’s drama.“Anya…. Are you okay?” He asked me. He had a worried look on his face as he searched my face.I smiled weakly. Does he expect me to be okay? Ariana accused me, and she got away with a half-assed apology. Of course, I wasn’t fine. But considering how it could have turned out badly for me, I guess I should be thankful.“I am fine,” I said to him. I didn’t want to dump all my anger on him.He helped me a lot out there. “You know that you can talk to me, right? I know no one will be fine after being accused like that. You didn’t do anything wrong,” Abel saidHe stepped into my room, and I moved away to let him enter. I smiled sarcastically. “I think I should be happy that I managed to get away without her framing me,” I said. Abel had a hurt look on her face. “I am sorry about what happened. We know that you didn’t do anythi
ABEL’S POVI woke up the next day feeling extremely horrible about myself. I did not mean to upset her last night or make her feel that Ariana could get away with whatever she did to her. Sometimes I really wanted to tell her about Ariana’s father so she could understand why we had to tolerate her even though we could not stand her. But I knew that Andrei wouldn’t want me to tell her, so I held myself back and kept whatever I wanted to tell her to myself. I hated that she had gone to bed angry with me. I hoped that she would be in a better state of mind to talk to me. Anyone would be mad after the person who framed them got away with it. Even though the maid was punished, she wasn’t the mastermind, so it did not matter.……Thirty minutes later, I sat at the dining table, having breakfast with Andrei. Andrei did not raise his head to look at me once, but I could tell he was watching me.I finally could not stand it anymore. I slammed my fork on the table and looked him in the eye
ANDREI’S POV“What do you mean she’s gone?” I asked Abel, confused. “She’s gone! She has run away. She finally had enough of putting up with you, so she left! Are you happy now? You know that all of this is your fault, right?” Abel asked meI wasn’t in the mood to listen to him pass the blame. “How do you know she’s gone?” I asked him. Maybe she didn’t leave. Perhaps she’s hiding somewhere because she is still mad about yesterday?“I haven’t seen her since morning. She left a note saying that she wanted to be left alone. I gave her the space she wanted, but I got suspicious after I hadn’t seen her all day. I went into her room, and she wasn’t there. She also took a few clothes with her. Do you still think that this isn’t your fault?” Abel asked me“What was in the note she left you?” I asked Abel. I tried to ignore the jealousy I felt when I heard that Anya had left a note for Abel, but I could not ignore that single action of hers. She didn’t even consider me when she left. I was
ANYA'S POVI walked down the forest path as slowly as I could. I had been running for a few hours now, and I was tired. I knew that I had to convey my strength if I wanted to get out of this place alive.I looked down at the men's clothes that I was wearing. I hadn't planned to disguise my identity before I left, but as I made my way out of the Palace, I thought that it would be best to disguise myself so that I wouldn't be caught. I had taken a pair of male clothes that I found outside someone's house. It would help me cover up my identity.I thought about Abel. I had thought about him a lot since I left the Palace. I almost wanted to go back to the palace because of how much I was missing him, but I knew that I couldn't do something like that. I would only be getting myself in trouble if I did that. I won't ever be getting a chance to leave. I will just give up on Abel. He and I were never meant to be in the first place. I will just bury whatever feelings I have for him. I felt
ANYA'S POV"I told you you shouldn't have left without breaking the mate bond, right? Do you think that you can really run away from him without Andrei ever finding you?" My wolf asked me. She sounded like she was boasting. I did not have the time to pay attention to her. Instead, I was thinking about the fact that I could be caught and brought back to the palace. I looked at my disguise. I had done a really good job with it so no one would be able to discover that it was me. But what if they know that it is me? Will I be forced to go back to the palace? Just thinking about what Andrei would do to me if he did was enough to make me sweat. He would think that I have disrespected him by running away, and he would find the worst ways to torture me and make my life impossible! "I left a note for Abel. I told him that I wanted to be left alone. This was supposed to buy me some time to get out of here!" I could not help but complain to my wolf in a low voice.She sneered at me. "Do you
"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.
