ANYAI looked at the Alpha and blinked. I tried to keep an expressionless look on my face, but my heart was beating fast against my chest as he looked at me. "Alpha Andrei? I have no idea who that is," I lied. "Are you sure that you don't know Alpha Andrei? He is the Alpha of the biggest pack around here. Are you sure that you don't know him?" He asked me one question two times and it made me feel as if he knew I was lying and wanted me to confess myself. I refused to say anything, though. I did not want to give myself away. If there's a chance that he doesn't know who I am, then I am going to take it and live my life as quietly as possible. "No, Your Highness. I have no idea who he is. I want to stay here. I fear that I might lose my life if I went back to my pack!" I said. The Alpha looked at me for a few more minutes and then nodded his head. He even smiled at me. "Fine. I believe your story. You can stay here!" He said. I almost jumped up for joy when he told me this. I fel
ANDREIA few hours ago, I was brooding in the palace, thinking about what Abel had said and how I was going to get Anya back. I was still thinking about what to do when I received a call from one of the Alphas of the smaller packs surrounding my kingdom. He told me that someone suspicious had arrived at his pack and had asked to live in his pack from now on. I immediately knew that it was Anya. I didn't have to see her face. I just knew that she was the oke. I immediately left the palace and travelled to his pack as fast as I could. I arrived there at midnight. I knew that since Anya was determined to get away from me, she would try something drastic, so I waited for her outside the motel. Just as I had suspected, she came down a few minutes after the guards and the Alpha of the pack had gone to bring her down. She was planning on running away. When I saw Anya's face, I let out a breath of relief that I didn't even know I was holding. I was so happy to have her back. As for h
ANYAI glared at Andrei as he said this. He glared at me, and I knew he would not hesitate to do worse to me. I scoffed at him. "That's the only thing that you can do, right? Think of ways to torture me?" I asked him. "Don't test my patience, Anya or else I can assure you that you will regret it. Where were you thinking when you decided to run away, damnit?! Did you think that you would not be caught? You think that you are so smart, don't you?" He asked me. "What I think is none of your business!" I said to him. I knew that I should stop to avoid getting in trouble, but I could not stop myself. I was so mad at him, and I hated Andrei a lot. He just turned away from me as I said this. "Take her to her room. Make sure that she doesn't come out. And if she ever runs away, know that all of you will pay for it with your lives!" He said. .....I was in my room. The curtains were closed, and I refused to open them. I just wanted to be left alone. As I thought about what to do, I hear
ANDREI'S POVI was on a call. "What did you say?" I asked with a frown. "There have been a few attacks on the people living near the Kingdom's borders. We believe that someone is trying to get to you, Your Highness!" The person on the other end of the phone said. Of course, I knew those bastards were out to get me. Their message the last time had been clear enough. Now that I had tightened the security around the Kingdom, they were taking the packs nearby.I got up and paced around my room when I heard this. "What exactly happened?" I asked. I hadn't heard anything since a spy invaded the Kingdom. I had almost forgotten that Anya had seen a spy. I was so occupied with finding her for the past few days that I did not pay attention to what was happening in the Kingdom. When I finally returned to my duties, this had already happened. I was even more mad at her. If she had not run away, then this wouldn't have happened. I would have been more focused then. "The people who lived on th
ABELI led Anya into my mansion. I did not stay here often, but they were workers who cleaned up every day, so it was clean. I took her to the bedroom next to the master's bedroom. It was clean and big enough for her. "You can stay here for Anya now. No one would dare to hurt you!" I said as I led her into the room. She turned to look at me. There was guilt in her eyes. "Thank you so much for helping me. I thought you would never talk to me again after what happened," she said to me. "What do you mean by that?" I asked her. "Well, I ran away and didn't tell you about it. I know that you must have been worried about me. Despite that, you still helped me from Ariana and her minions and you also took me away from there. You are risking getting into a fight with your brother just for my sake. You don't have to do all of this just for me," she said. "Anya, I was mad when I heard that you left. I admit that I was worried looking for you, but I understand why you wanted to run away. An
ANDREII stood in the living room, finally coming to terms with the fact that Abel and Anya had left. What were the both of them doing now? Did Abel confess his feelings to her? Did she like him too? Just the thought of that happening was enough to make me shiver. As I was lost in my thoughts, someone touched me from behind. I turned and saw Ariana. She had a big smile on her face. I really wanted to strangle her to death and be done with it. I knew that she didn't like Anya but I never thought that she'd be that cruel to her. I wouldn't have tolerated her for this long if it hadn't been for her father. Her father was the only reason she wasn't in the dungeon. "What are you doing here?" I asked her coldly. She frowned, seemingly annoyed that I was cold to her but I didn't care. "I just wanted to see how you were doing. I know that you have been busy trying to find Anya for some time now. Now that you've found her, you need to relax...I can help you do that" Ariana said in a sult
ANYAI did not dare to look up at Abel because of my guilt. Even though, he said that it wasn't my fault, I couldn't help but feel like it was mine. Before I arrived here, he used to get along with Andrei well, and they ruled the kingdom together. Immediately I arrived there, they started to have thier differences. I should have never left in the first place if I had known that he was going to find me so easily. Or I should have gone further away from here. "Don't think that Anya. You never wanted to be here in the first place. He was the one who brought you here and he had responsibilities as your mate that he did not fulfil. It's not your fault. Nothing that happened is your fault, so don't you ever take the blame for it " I said. "But I....." I tried to protest but he didn't let me. He placed his hand on my shoulders and forced me to look up at me, "Listen to me, Anya..."He was still saying something when I heard a knock on the door. "I think there's someone outside," I said.
ANYAAbel and I had listened to Kern's words and left his mansion almost immediately. He brought us to a house he had rented for three months. Although I had lived in the human world for some time, I hadn't been to this part. I could see that it was costly and knew I wouldn't have had a chance to live there even if I wanted to. We spent the first few days in the house, just lazing around. Abel told me that I needed to relax after all that I had been through, and after resting for a few days, I finally had enough energy to get up and leave the house. Abel and I decided to spend the day exploring. I walked over to Kern's room and knocked on the door. When he opened it, I realised he did not dare look at my face. Thinking about it now, it seemed he had been ignoring me since we arrived. I had only seen him a handful of times since we arrived, and he hadn't shared a single meal with us. "Are you okay, Kern?" I asked him. I wouldn't say I liked the thought of him being in a bad mood b
