AUTHOR'S POV" Don't attempt to run away!" Anita screamed at Conan.I don't know what they were arguing about, but I was sure that it was certainly about the wedding."What can you do to stop me?" Conan asked. " You know too well." Anita replied." I have agreed to go on with the marriage not because I don't know what to do, I only do not want you to get hurt." He said." That's so kind of you." She replied. Amara continued eavesdropping to hear where this conversation was heading to." Why don't you state what you truly want?" Anita asked. "And quit the pretence." She said."Is that so?" Conan replied. "What is the assurance that I'll get my request?" He replied, and I listened. Whatever they were saying wasn't making sense because Amara was not informed that they had a bargain." Let's hear it. As long as it doesn't concern that Amara." She replied." I want the wedding to be small. A minimum of a hundred guests." Conan said, and Anita went silent." Is that it?" She asked, notic
AUTHOR'S POV"Oh my god!" Nancy screamed before a hand covered her mouth.The sounds of struggling and muffling had Nolan coming out of the kitchen. Nancy had gone to open the door."Nancy?" He called as he got into the living room. He noticed the door was widely open, like someone was in a hurry to go somewhere, which was unusual, especially at night.Nancy never forgot to lock the door. She was highly security-conscious.He heard a faint sound coming from outside."Nancy?" He called out, feeling a sense of dread wash over him. The crickets chirped loudly.Before he knew it, a handkerchief laced with chloroform was placed on his nose. He struggled with his assailant but wasn't able to prevail.After a few minutes, he slept off.Nancy cried when she heard him slump like a sack of potatoes. She bit the guard covering her mouth and tried to escape.The guard hissed in pain. She was almost out of the shack when another guard landed her a hot slap, which sent her unconscious.Nolan snappe
Nolan's POVI kept on running, though my legs were killing me. I couldn't stop running. Adrenaline pumped through me as I focused.I sustained injuries from the blades of the grass. But I continued running. If Anita catches me, I will be minced meat. There is no way of escape anymore. I ran until I passed out.A drum of water dumped on my head caused me to jolt upright.When I opened my eyes, I saw myself in unfamiliar territory."Who are you?" A fierce guard asked me. I was scared. Had Anita's minions gotten a hold of me?"My name is Nolan." I didn't add that I came from the Blood Moon pack. Who knows if they knew Anita or have been looking for ways to trap her?"I was kidnapped by some bandits." I added."This man looks familiar." Another guard said, trying to place my face.I hoped that it was a good recognition."What pack are you from?" He inquired, and I stalled."What pack are you from?" He repeated, and I refused to answer."He looks like a rogue." The second guard picked me u
Anita's POV"What do you mean that you don't know?" I barked at him. He stuttered, and I knew that he was about to give an excuse."We lost him." He muttered, bowing slightly. He was unable to meet my eyes."You were supposed to find him! How could you allow Nolan to outsmart you?""Go back, scout the area; I don't know what you have to do. Just find him!" I screamed at him."Get out of my sight!" He muttered and rushed off."What rubbish?" I muttered. If I catch you, Nolan, I'll make sure you never leave me again.I paced around the room; Nolan could not be far away. That place was dangerous. Either he was killed or someone helped him.The nearest pack was ten miles away.*******"Thanks for coming right away." I told Jamal."The northern protectorates say that they are ready to join forces with you." He said so, and I was glad. Finally!I made them an offer that they couldn't resist." But..." "What again?" "They need assurance that you will not betray them." He continued.I signe
AUTHOR'S POVAnita let out a little nervous laughter at his statement."That's very correct. It's not easy to forget anyone who is after your life." I replied."I think your party is great." Damini said, and he gulped down his drink.Anita stared at him; he wouldn't know what hit him."Thank you." She replied and went on to interact with other Alphas, making small talk here and there.Diana walked up to her father. "Why are you behaving strangely?" He asked."Nothing," she replied."Were you able to get the dress that Anita said you were waiting for?" He asked."Which dress?" She inquired, and she was very surprised."Anita said that you postponed the wedding because you had not gotten the perfect dress for your big day." Her father continued. He felt something was off about her."I assure you that nothing of the sort happened. I have been in the hospital for the longest time I can remember." She said that, and he was shaken.Diana saw the surprise on her father's face when she told h
Amara's POV I made sure that I wasn't seen a lot of times by Anita. A lot of things occupied her time that she forgot to ask about Sylvia. This gave me the time to meet with the team on how to defeat Anita.Sylvia has been trying to talk to me for so long but I didn't grant her audience. I was about to serve Anita on this day when I heard her scream at some man. From the look of things, it was as if he didn't fulfill his mission. It was there and then I heard a sword slash something, and a thud followed. I turned back quietly with a tray in hand and life intact. My heart beat loud and fast against my chest. I summoned courage and I returned to her room, not to arouse her suspicion." You sent for me ma'am," I asked." Why did you take so long to return here?" she inquired." I heard you were a bit busy ma'am, and I didn't want to interrupt," I replied. "Hmm. Stop that plan against Sylvia," she said, and. I blurted " What?" She stared at me."Stop that plan," she repeated. I paused
AUTHOR'S POV Amara hid all the pieces of evidence she had. Diana had been arriving and leaving frequently, and Anita noticed her indifference whenever marriage was mentioned."Don't you want to get married anymore?" Anita asked her on one of her visits."I want to," Diana answered back."II can't wait for you to be baroness," Anita said, noticing that she wasn't geared up. The light had gone out of her eyes."What is wrong with you?" She asked."Nothing, your highness. The doctor said I have to recover fully before thinking about anything." She said. Anita couldn't say anything about it.Diana has been rumored not to eat anything in the pack house."You haven't been eating. I hope you're alright?" Anita asked, and Diana regarded her coolly. "I have been asked to be careful about poisoning." She replied, and Anita knew she was referring to her."Why don't you come out straight? You spent more than six months here; why is poisoning coming up now?" She asked."You drugged me and expect
AUTHOR'S POV Anita was very angry with all the things that she had been hearing recently. It was almost as if things started crumbling again. She was very furious at the amount of embarrassment Alpha was giving her because of a small loan debt. It was only a matter of time before her business yielded"What do we have here?" Damini asked, and she was very angry. He was trying to intimidate her, which wasn't going to happen."Welcome, Damini." She decided to seek him out."Welcome, Anita." He replied. They regard each other as cool, waiting to see who will make the first move."What do you want from me?" she asked. It certainly couldn't be revenge. He probably wanted more money."What do you think I want? He replied to her."Money, an additional part of my pack?" she replied, and Damini rose to his full height."You attempted to kill me twice and think I need money? You must be delusional." He laughed at her with scorn."I med your head to roll off the head." He replied. That was what
