Who the hell is this person?" She wondered. He was like a brick wall. unpenetrable."Stop struggling." The person said, and she tried to be still. The man released her." Who the hell are you?" She asked, as she flicked on the bedside lamp." That's no way to speak to someone that wants to help you escape." He said." Kindly unmask yourself." She said, and the man opened his face." Damini!" She exclaimed. She didn't think that he would be here so soon." We need to leave now." He said, and Amara shook her head."Why?"she asked." Anita sent some people after you." he said. He wasn't a man of many words. Yet, she trusted him. " So where are we going?" She asked hi " To my pack for tonight, till tomorrow." He said, and Amara picked up the chain. This was the first time that she would be leaving the
AUTHOR'S POV Conan was very annoyed at Sylvia. He didn't want to deal with her just yet, as he paced about in his room.How dare she try to seduce him? He thought. She must have thought him to be cheap like the other men she tried that shit with. Now, he wondered if she was linked to the attempted kidnap. Amara spoke about her suspicion of this but he decided to pat deaf ears to it." The audacity." He muttered. He shook his head in anger. Before marching to the throne stool to rectify some things. Anita had made a mess of a lot. That it took a longer while to trace where the fault came from." What is this money for?" He asked himself. It was marked X, with no addendum explaining what it was for.He spent a lot of time, tracing it's source. Everyday, different errors were found in the account sheet leaving him wandering about how Anita managed to hide this from him. Apparently, she had a separate book for keeping record while she made him work for nothing. It was hard to reconcile
AUTHOR'S POV" Get her!" One of the guards instructed.Anita groaned and picked herself up, ignoring the pain searing through her leg.They sped towards her, as she rushed Northward.

She hit another stone, and not allowing that to deter her, she pressed on. Her salvation coming into sight.They noticed her gaze on the water, and a guard shouted." Don't let her get away!" He screamed.The pain in her leg was becoming very unbearable, she almost felt like giving up, but the consequences were dire.She refused to stop.

AUTHOR'S POV " I'm sorry, your highness." Dorian trembled on his knees. Conan stared at the disgrace of a warrior." How much did she pay you?" He asked, watching their lips tremble. They knew the consequences for their actions. It was straight up being killed. However, before he killed them, he wanted answers from them." She promised to make us Lords luke lady Sylvia ." Dame replied this time. Conan stared at the council of elders. They must have been really stupid to think that Anita would just give them a place in the pack.." You are stupid to have believed that. Where are the kidnappers?" He asked, watching the both men stare at themselves as they hesitated. It was as of they didn't know how heartless he could also be. He raised a sword. How dare they try to defend kidnappers? The common problem was readiness. Always been their problem." You are willing to lose your life because of a position that you will never occupy?" He asked." We don't know." They cried. All they knee
AUTHOR'S POV There was tension in the air when Anita arrived at the next pack. Exhaustion took over her body, and she collapsed on the floor. How she managed to evade the rogues on the No Man's Land shocked her.Panting heavily, she tried to catch her breath. This was beyond her imagination that she would be a fugitive. Her stomach cried in hunger. It was almost two days after her escape from Alpha Darius.Her eyes caught the trees filled with apple fruits in the forest. She gathered herself, and she threw a stick at it, to pluck them. She was halfway into biting the apple, when a voice spoke."They are poisonous." Her heart sank, when she turned. She was cursed with the misfortune of meeting her worst enemies. " Long time, no see." He smirked Alpha Damien watched the woman who was once a delight become a shadow of herself. A menacing figure, becoming mousey. There was a time when she would regard him with no respect, now she looked frustrated. He looked her up to down. Her sk

The creaking sound alerted the guarded and they opened the door. " Welcome back, dear Anita." Damien said, they had almost lost her if not for his Beta who was patrolling already. " Shocked to be here?" He taunted as she gazed around trying to adjust to the sudden light that assaulted her eyes." Are you sure that you are okay?" He mocked." What do you want from me?" Anita sighed. Damien gave a smiled. " Absolutely nothing, at this point, he was ready to hand her over to the council for punishment at no cost. The fact that she thought she could escape without keeping her end of the bargain made him want to rather deal with her." Thats a lie." she said. Damien was a greedy bastard. That bargain was too cheap for him." What if I told you their names, and allow you trade my drugs?" She asked.So she had drugs? He
AUTHOR'S POV Sylvia ran towards the border. She knew that they might not have discovered her escape. So she ran all the way. Avoiding the patrol guards, she bundled towards the next pack. With a panting and beating heart, she rested behind a date palm tree. She held her breath at the incoming footsteps of the guards.A sneeze racked through her body, and she had no choice but to let it out." I thought I heard a sound?" A guard said, and she held in her breath harder this time. They walked towards the direction of the sneezing person. The guards smelt her and they stopped walking. " Go that way" The head guard mouthed to the other guard to pretend to retreat. While the other guards cocked their guns.Sylvia heard the retreating footsteps and thought that they were going back.

AUTHOR'S POV The rattling of the gate woke Rocky up. His eyes slowly adjusting to the light, after been knocked out for a while. The clicking of heels resonated down the hall.A figure obstructed the light, an he looked up." Aha, welcome back." Anita greeted cheerfully and Rocky rolled his eyes. " Let me out of these chains." He ground out. Anita clicked her tongue, " Why would I be so foolish to let you go?" She asked, and he shook his head."Because I might have a solution to your problems." He said, and Anita raised her brows." I don't know how you think people reason. But everyone is not as gullible as you are." She delivered the insult with a smile." Ouch! That hurt." He replied. She grinned at him. He couldn't bullshit a bullshitter. Unless he had something worthwhile and tangible to say, he was going no where. At least, until she left the town. " Ciao." She waved at him, before exiting the room immediately. That would be all for today. She was driven back to the pack h
AUTHOR'S POVTears streamed down Anita's eyes. Even when her mother died, she didn't cry. Aiden wasn't supposed to die. People up were surprised to see her bawling her eyes out. It seemed like it was in a movie.Magnus watched as Anita became despondent and it caused him to wonder what sort of relationship was between them.Without ni further ado, he signalled to the other guard, and she was also taken to the podium."As it stands now, it is time to receive your punishment." Magnus announced happily. This has gone on for the longest time and it was finally time to see her end." Can I say something?" Anita piped up. Her voice ringing over the pack. Curiosity filled the eyes of the listeners.Magnus considered her statement. He could bet that she was about to come up with something probably insane and wanted to buy sympathy. Also
AUTHOR'S POV "Well that's what everyone who has something to say, says." Aiden said. " This is not the way I envisaged my life to be." She said. "Well, most of us didn't envisage that our lives will turn out the way it did." He replied, watching her and she bowed her head. "Can you be honest with me?" Anita asked." Let's hear it." He said, and went to shut the windows." You still haven't spoken about the real reason I am here." She said, because she was surprised to see him fussing over her." I have made myself explicitly clear." He said, starting at her weirdly." Well, where have you been since?";She asked. She had never seen him before in his life." Do you want me to tell you the real reason?" He asked." I would like that." she said, really interested, for she was at wits end." I have loved you for a very long time. I just didn't think that there would be a need to see you because you were married. However, now that I know that you're fair game, I promise I can't let you
AUTHOR'S POV Looking up reluctantly at the guard, " What happened?" Conan asked. He was getting a little bit frustrated because whenever things were getting good, something always came upthat will jeopardize the pack or he and Amara's relationship.The guard looked at the Conan, not knowing how to break the news to him.Now, Conan was beginning to get very pissed. This boy just came here to interrupt him. " Yes?" He asked." There has been a breach in security and rogues have infiltrated the land. A lot of lands were set on fire, and almost to the hospital.""So, what did you guys do?" Conan asked. It was their job to deal with the rogues. " I rushed to tell you sir. He replied. " How many lives were lost?" He inquired." None. We managed to put off the fire before it escalated." " Okay, I'll be there in few minutes." Conan replied and rushed towards Amara's room. He didn't want to be caught unaware. This must be Anita's handiwork. He rushed down to Amara's room." Hey, there w
AUTHOR'S POV The men barely spoke a word to Anita, and it pissed her off. For someone who wanted her to be his wife, he was doing an awful job at connecting with his spouse. Not like she wanted to marry him or anything. She just felt that he she would be able to use him and get away with it like other men in the past." Where are we going?" She asked Aiden. He turned towards her, while the driver watched through the rearview mirror. "To my house." Confusion fitted on her face and she stared at the boy in front of her. " Where might this be?" She inquired. " You'll know when we arrive." He replied turning to the front. The car was thrown into silence and she sought for a way to leave the car. Aiden seemed a bit crazy and she couldn't stomach any craziness from anybody. " Will any one speak? What is really going on?" She asked from the back. Unbeknownst to them, she was with a spoon which she sharpened against a stone when she went to pee in the bush. She could slice their necks o
AUTHOR'S POV " You are selfish, and wicked." Celia said and Damini kept staring at her, wondering what kind of effontery she had to speak to him in that manner. A lot of people will never dare to do what she did. Well, that was one of the reasons why the moon goddess chose her for him. He was grateful for her spitfireattitude. She didn't take nonsense from anybody no matter who the person was and what position the person occupied, and that was a very good characteristic of a Luna. The heart of the pack. A lot of people underestimated the Luna. They didn't know that they were equally as strong as the alpha.She wanted to say a lot but held he tongue. Instead, she exited the room with her head held up high. She would not plead with him about this issue again.Damini could not sleep that night. He tried to drown himself in work, yet it didn't suffice. He knew that he hurt his mate. He was not a bastard. One of the major things they were taught right from childhood was to cherish their
AUTHOR'S POV There was no where that Magnus' guard didn't comb when they were looking for Anita, and Magnus was very furious when they didn't catch her." Who is not here?" He asked and the guards looked at one another in confusion." Which guard is missing?" He repeated, and there was a silence. He didn't mind wasting anybody who decided to be a nuisance to the pack and an accomplice to Anita and all of her evils.The guards continued looking at one another, and he called for an emergency meeting."Call all the guards for me." He said.The guards got assembled after 20 minutes, and he counted each and every one of them.Aiden was missing!"Now I need anybody to tell me the truth, who saw him when he was leaving?!" he asked very angrily. The guards stared at one another, and he slammed his fist up on a table they were trying to take him for a fool. What insolence?How did he manage to leave under their watch? what were they watching? That meant that they were not even watching when
AUTHOR'S POV " What is your name?" Anita said when they crossed the border, she was baffled at the ease in which they used to get out of the Magnus' pack. " We need to get to our destination first." He replied, and her eyes widened in surprise, oh really? She thought. A car drove towards them, and they quickly entered. This was fast. Both men spoke in Italian, and she became suspicious. "What are the both of you talking about?" She asked, didn't they know that it was rude to speak in a language that the other person didn't understand?The men turned towards her as if just noticing her presence." We were speaking about how to leave this place." He replied, as the other man watched our interaction. " English would have sufficed." Anita said, and they stared at moronically. " We have to leave now." The guard told the man and they rushed off. "Where are we going to?" Anita asked, the silence was deafening and the boy in front of her was not saying anything. The routes they took wa
"What the hell?" Amara thought inwardly. Things wee moving from bad to worse and was getting really annoying. " What do you mean by that?" She asked, and he smiled again, yet creepily this time. " You are mine. Ever since I laid my eyes on you." He replied with so much emotion in his eyes. " Really?" She replied. There was no other explanation save that this man was crazy, but he didn't know it. " Where am I?" She inquired, at least if she had an idea of where she was, it would be easier for her to escape. " That's not for you to know. We are getting married soon." He replied with confidence, and she rolled her eyes. He was full on delusional. Now she could see it." I have a mate." She replied, two in fact but she kept the latter information to herself." That's none of my business. You are the one for me." She replied, and Amara stared at him. " You need to eat something." He said bringing a spoonful of food close to her. Yuck! It was the same spoon he put in his mouth earlier
AUTHOR'S POV " Wake up." Magnus shouted and Anita woke up immediately, not expecting him to take that tone with her. " What?" She asked, she felt a headache. " It's time to eat." She had not eaten since last night and that caused her to be very weak. Did he not have work to do?" And you woke me up in thus manner?" She asked. " Your royal highness, I'm sorry that I didn't serve it on a gold platter." He replied dryly. " Thank you." She replied, as he passed the food under the door to her. She was being treated like a prisoner, a dog." How are you feeling?" He inquired, once she is well, the next thing is to appear before the council. She squinted at him, " My leg still hurts." She replied, and he clicked his tongue. He didn't believe her. Watching her through the cell gates, he noticed her countenance. She was wearing that contrite expression again which didn't fool him, try as she might. If there is anyone that he was afraid of, it was Anita. She had a way of making sure that
