CHAPTER 15 Anastasia POV I woke up from a bad dream and wasn't feeling too well. Yesterday had been so crazy and I didn't want to even remember anything concerning it. I had woken up feeling so scared and nostalgic. I tried to remember what it was all about but couldn't but the only thing I could remember was me being pulled down. I have had this particular dream for a while now even when I was back at home. Home. That word felt so foreign. I woke up to see Estella and Jessica arranging my room in a tip-toe trying their best not to make noise. “Ohh, you both are here,” I said to them as I stood up. “Yes miss, your bath is ready,” Estella said and they both held my hands as they took me to the bathroom. I felt refreshed when I was done and even my gown felt beautiful. “Seems like the seamstress has sent some gowns down? Didn't she ask about the wedding dress?” I inquired from them. “That has been settled, Miss Amy, don't worry about it at all,” Jessica told me. They were bein
Chapter 16 Anastasia's POV I still pondered over the letter and the name, Annaliese. I am left to wonder if maybe I got the letter mistakenly. I decided to be quiet about the letter and see if maybe my maids would talk about it themselves or if I would get this type of letter again. It was then I realized that I had eaten all the cookies absentmindedly. The Lycans triplets seemed to be keeping the ends of the bargain pretty well. I thought to myself and laughed. It felt nice and comfortable to be able to laugh while alone in my room. Back home it was more of me alone crying and crying myself to sleep. I felt like thanking my Father for accepting this fate if it could make me this comfortable and laugh all alone. My heart ached a little wishing I was mated to one of the Triplets who was madly in love with me. I sighed. I had to face reality now. This wasn't like when I was more imprisoned in my home. This was my reality now. There was a knock on the door and in came my beautiful
Chapter 17 Anastasia POV The training started and all was going well and I seemed to be getting it all right. The other concubines even seemed to be watching from far and near. The field was so big and everyone seemed to have his or her trainer. Gutch had to leave. He had gotten a call so he reached out to Dante to take over the training and he was going to make it up. I just watched them at the side quietly as they began bantering. Elsa was already arranging their stuff. “We are going to end here Anastasia, we will go all the way on the next training so don't forget all you learned today,” She said to me while still arranging. “Anastasia, I can't believe Dante wasn't lying when he said Dutch and Elsa were your trainers,” Esther said to me when she got to where I was. Dante left with Dutch and Elsa after she had gotten everything ready. Esther and Hannah had walked up to where I was again. I was happy because I was honestly getting comfortable knowing that I was having a good
CHAPTER 18 The concubines scramble away when they realize what they had done and that was when Dante returned only to see Princess and Anastasia both on the floor. He immediately called for an ambulance. Princess seemed to be struggling to open her eyes as she was squinting with what Dante could see as he got closer to the ladies and he observed that Anastasia wasn't moving at all. He practically shouted at all the ladies, “Who the hell did this?!” and that was when the responses started coming from different angles. “It wasn't me” “I didn't do anything” “The breeder started it” “She practically almost killed Princess” The answers just went on and on and Dante lost his cool as he shouted again, “How do you expect me to believe that it was Miss Anastasia who put Princess into this position, okay fine let’s say she did that who did this to her?” Dante asked. This question brought silence no one was talking again because they didn't want to be in trouble with the Lycans. Dante
CHAPTER 19 Damien came into the ward room and his tummy suddenly felt funny and he knew he had to use the restroom and also get some food into his system. Thinking about it, he hadn't eaten all day. A few minutes after he left Anastasia woke up feeling drowsy still as she opened her eyes slowly adjusting to the light. She remembered all that happened and her head started throbbing immediately. Her hands flew to her head and she felt a bandage on it. She practically starts feeling bad again cussing at the moon goddess for bringing her back to this god-forsaken life when she could have just stayed with her mom. The only person who actually cares about her and loves her genuinely from her heart. How could she have left fire to another hotter fire? She wondered now there weren't just five witches, but, they were almost over twenty if not more than that if she was including the unknown staff who worked for the other concubines. Then her hand went to her necklace as she wondered how sh
Chapter 20 Days had passed and Anastasia and Princess were back home from the hospital. Darius was training with Violet in the field. They were practicing some spells when Anastasia got to the field. Every concubine also had made sure to concede to Damien’s instructions which was “no messing with Anastasia”. Most of them weren't happy with this instruction but had no choice but to abide by this rule so her life at the Bethermore Mansion had been peaceful for a while now and she was grateful to Damien for this. Princess also had made sure to give her space, oftentimes when they met in the corridor she seemed to always take the opposite direction as though she was scared of Anastasia. Anastasia always wondered why she acted that way but could never have the opportunity to ask the person in question. She was amazed at what they were both doing and creating and was forced to ask Hannah who was also at the field at the time she arrived about who the Lycan Triplets were. “Honestly I hav
Chapter 21 Dante led Anastasia to where Gutch was. All the things they were going to use for the training were already prepared by him. Anastasia wondered when she got to where Gutch was how he had gotten everything prepared all by himself without his other partner. Immediately Gutch saw Anastasia coming, he frowned once again at her slender figure. Last time he had gone easy on her but he wasn't so sure if that same thing could happen today since he had gotten the information that the fight between her and one of the other ladies of the house was fast approaching. “We need to get you fit enough for all the lessons,” Gutch said to Anastasia immediately as she got to where he was. “Okay,” Anastasia said, waiting for the next instruction. “You need to do five laps around the training ground,” Dutch said to her. Anastasia looked at him in the eyes as her eyes widened and her mouth opened wide. “You should start now,” Dutch said as he set his timer. “You don't expect me to do this
Chapter 22 There was a loud gasp in the field after Ana fainted. Gutch immediately went to meet her to check her pulse and sighed when he realized that she was still breathing but it was very faint. He knew Anastasia had overworked herself. Gutch who after getting to where Anastasia was saw that her grip on the rope was just still tight and he slowly removed her fingers one after the other from the rope. He knew he had stretched her and also believed he would have to overstretch her because he understood who Alexa was and how strong she was and as Anastasia's trainer he understood that he had to give her the best rigorous training ever to get her well-prepared for the duel she would have. Gutch knew it was always his joy when his student came out successful after his training and that was why he was tagged the best. It was a name he always lived up to. Gutch pushed the tires away from where she was and laid her very well on the ground so she could receive air one of the maids pres
