Andrei’s POV“Andrei.” Kern and Abel’s voices echo at the same time in my mind. I was certain this had something to do with my mate and how I had reacted to the two of them.If I didn’t get Daiz under control soon enough, it was going to let my brothers know that something was up with me. “Come to my place,” I say, saving them the stress of having to request a meeting. I would let them know my plans for her while making sure they were fine with it. After all, the three of us needed to be on the same page. I smell them the moment they are in front of my house, and I go back downstairs, my wolf becoming restless just as I pass the third floor. “No, we aren’t going there,” I mutter. I don’t trust myself to not touch her, to not strip her naked in a moment and bury myself in her. It had taken every bit of self-control not to lay my hands some hours ago. I could understand why I was losing control over her, with Daiz being unhappy with me not taking action to claim our mate. His mate.
Anya’s POV“And you feel you won’t be a danger to humans with your recent transformation? You take dumb to another level.” He spat rudely. His gaze made me feel worthless and stupid. I understood that after shifting, one had to take some time to be sure they were in total control of their wolf. But I wasn’t asking to walk through those doors and leave for college at this exact moment, and I was almost sure he knew that wasn’t what I meant. “What’s your name?” He asked, surprising me as I searched through my thoughts to see if I had told him my name at any point. “Anya.”‘Andrei is a demon’ is the one thought that runs through my mind as I watch his chest move up and down from his bouts of laughter. “I’m guessing whoever named you had an idea you were going to grow up stupid.” He finally says and stops laughing. And despite all the hate I have taken all my life, nothing could come close to this. I don’t spend another moment at the table as I race up to my room. All the tears I kep
Anya’s POV“The King requests that you come downstairs now,” The woman from yesterday said, and I’m glad I had been thoughtful enough to get dressed the moment I woke up.Clearly, all my prayers to have Andrei die in his sleep had gone unanswered.My dresses were few, and I doubted I would have anything presentable after today. Still, I went down with her in my blue dress. Unlike yesterday, the dining table had two more people. A man with sandy blonde hair was seated on Andrei’s right-hand side with his back view to me, while Kern, who had been nice enough to treat me like a person, was seated on his left. Kern looked up the moment he heard my steps, and his eyes lit up slightly. It was a sharp contrast to how angry Andrei looked every time he saw me. Since it was a long dining table, I sat at the last edge away from them. Andrei shoots a look at me at the same moment the man on his right does, and I wonder if looks were a criterion for getting into their pack. He had sparkling bl
Anya’s POVI flushed red with embarrassment as I took in the girl before me. She was gorgeous with piercing green eyes and looked about four to five years older than me.But there’s no hiding the mean girl energy I was very familiar with if I thought I was free from Kara after leaving my pack.I had judged too early.“Why are you here? Don’t you know that King Andrei doesn’t tolerate maids roaming around his palace?” She continued with her hands placed on her waist.“He brought me here.” “If you want some explanation, you can ask him yourself. I won’t show you the way,” I added, and then, without waiting for her reply, I turned to leave.It was already enough that I had to deal with Andrei treating me like I was dirt under the soles of his feet, but I wasn’t going to let some girl walk here in and walk all over me. “Who brought this bitch here?” The girl cursed out, and I heard the clanking of her heels against the floor.I turned slightly, trying to see if she was leaving from th
Anya’s POVThe moment my back touched the door, I broke down into tears. As lovely as Kern was. I didn’t want to be here.The realisation of the time of person my mate was dawned on me day by day.He had women warming his bed, and I didn’t think I would be any different. Besides, he already stated that it was the only reason he brought me here. To own my body.The necklace on my neck suddenly warmed, and my hands reached for the dazzling beauty between my chest.It felt warm in my palms, like it was trying to comfort me and make me feel better.But I was almost certain that it was just my imagination.“Let me out,” a cold and low voice rang out in my head, and for a split second, my heart skipped a beat until I realised it was my wolf.“I don’t want a weak host. Let me out, Anya.” “You took all the time in the world before revealing yourself, and after you came, you chose the absolute worst person to become your mate.” “And now, you want to leave?” If my wolf were right in front
Anya’s POV“Strip Anya.”His words replayed in my mind repeatedly as I stared at him, my body trembling.This was a joke, right?He wanted me to strip naked? “Unless you want me ripping those clothes off you, you have less than ten seconds to get naked.” “Andrei…” even though some part of me knew that this was all he saw me as I was still unable to follow his instructions.“I don’t remember giving you the right to call my name, mate.” “Since you aren’t ready to learn your lesson, I’ll have some men come in and teach you how to get naked when you are asked to.” “Wait!” I yelled the moment he turned to go. My hands trembled as I stared at his back and went to the rope that held my dress together. After loosening the rope that held the corset together, my dress fell to the floor softly, but I was certain the sound was loud enough for Andrei to pick up as he turned back to look at me. Or rather, my body as his gaze didn’t meet mine, but I could feel their fixated stare on me.“You
Andrei’s POV Fuck the moon goddess. She had to be playing some insane trick on me. On a normal day, I would have been unable to keep myself away from my mate. She was gorgeous and every bit stunning. But she just had to be the last person that could be my Luna. A part of me had hoped that her management skills would at least compensate for her weak wolf. But she had been unable to handle Ariana. That was more than enough to let me know how right I was. Anya was too weak to be my Luna, and tying the both of us together with the mate bond would be a mistake on my part. “Stand up, Anya,” I ordered, annoyed by her huddled position on the floor. From here, I could see the v- outline of her black panties, and my cock throbbed in my pants. “She’s the best mate for me, for us,” Daiz growled within me, and I scoffed. Best mate? Perhaps she had the best body and a very beautiful face. But that was the only strong quality she had. There were too many girls that could satisfy
Anya's POVI groaned as I opened my eyes; my head felt heavy, and I was struggling to see. I held the bedside table and used it to support my frame, and when I regained my balance, I walked to the bathroom.I don’t know how I managed to sleep off with what happened last night. But right now, I felt like my body was going to fall apart any minute, and hunger was clawing at my insides.I had missed dinner, and clearly, no one had cared enough to check in with me about it.I was out of dresses and wore one of my more casual clothes that was straight out of my college wardrobe. When I had packed for a visit to Papa, my plan had been a two-day trip, and my dresses at home were the few I had gotten during the special balls that had been held at the pack.I was going to have to find a solution to that.My stomach grumbled as I finished putting on my clothes, and I took small steps to the door and stopped.As hungry as I was, the last thing I wanted was to meet Andrei this early in my day.
