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
Author PovConan raised an eyebrow at her statement, but didn't question it further. He knew better than to pry too much before she suspects him of burning her source of wealthThe dinner was set up in the dining hall, and everyone sat around the large wooden table even maids shocking him as hell. Conan noticed that there were only a few dishes, but they were all prepared extravagantly. He suspected that there was some kind of poison in the food, but he couldn't be certain. Anita seemed to be enjoying the dinner and everyone's company. She laughed freely and engaged in conversations with her guests. Conan found it strange that she was acting so hospitably towards them. He wondered if it was all just an act because the Anita he knew is a callous human being who cares about herself only abd he couldn't help but pay more concern about her smiles, He concluded that she has something under her sleeves.As the night wore on, Conan couldn't help but let his guard down. He was enjoying himse
Amara's POVThe only way to make sure that things were going according to plan was to make sure that we moved closer to Anita. Since we had not confronted her about her atrocities, she relaxed and felt complacent. Little did she know that there was a storm brewing and she would need more than a waterproof to not get drenched."Get me the women that have not been toeing the line lately." Anita said, and I quickly ran to fetch them.Diana walked in at the same moment. I didn't know the reason for her presence, and I didn't look at her so as not to arouse suspicion from Anita about our friendship.When I returned, I met Diana and Anita having a face-off."Who do you think you are?" She asked Anita. This statement got Anita angry, and she raised a hand to strike Diana on the cheek. Diana dodged the slap, and Anita's eyes widened."How dare you speak to me i
Anita held her breath as she arrived at the bank of the river. She let out a exhale as she collapsed on the sand, panting hard. The adrenaline wore off, and she took a deep breath to calm herself. She was grateful for the swimming lessons that she took. For, she wouldn't know what to do if she didn't possess that skill.Ten minutes later, she heard footsteps approaching. It must be the guards, she guessed. Lo they approached. Two guards came into sight. They recognised her. "Welcome Alpha." one of them said, and assisted her to stand on her feet. " Thank yiu." she replied, really famished and tired. " Let's go to the house." The same man repeated. As the approached the house, she was grateful to see her friend come out. Alpha Derek. He was one of the few Alphas that she had not fallen out with. "Alpha Anita." He greeted in surprise. Derek came out with the intention to see the trespasser the guards found at the shores. Only to find out that it was Anita. "Hello, Alpha Derek.
Anita's POV The naked shock on their faces was delightful to watch."I can see that absence was not missed," I said, looking directly at Conan."Welcome, Baroness." Elder Matthew was the first to recover. The rest of them muttered a greeting."They can't get rid of me just yet," I replied. The last six days have been the most enjoyable days of my life. Every morning, I was served good food, and Derek and I even spent time catching up. It had been almost twenty years since we last spoke physically to each other."We are pleased to have you back," Conan said though I saw the look in his eyes. I am back! There was nothing anyone could do about that.I smiled at them and took charge of the meeting."We should partner with the northern pack because they are very industrious and also have a wide range of visitors."Elder Matthew suggested. I began to notice him. He might be good for my plans."I think that's a great idea," I replied. Conan was quiet throughout the meeting. I noticed his co
AUTHOR'S POV Anita felt like a prisoner.The men had taken the sachet of coke. She was confined to her room. If that wasn't the case, she would have looked for a means of escape. If this leaked out, it would cost her a lot.She paced about on her balcony. Until she heard a knock."I have not seen you for some time." One of the men said She didn't know that she was going to be monitored closely."I was on the balcony." She replied, feeling very depressed that she, of all people, would be given house arrest."Please stay inside." The mother replied politely, but Anita remained embarrassed.She closed the windows and the balcony door.After a few minutes of pacing about, she heard another knock, which interrupted her thoughts again.This time around, it was Conan who came in."What is going on?" She asked; she needed to know what was happening in the pack because staying indoors since morning while Conan was ruling did something to her mental health."People have not started asking yet.
AUTHOR'S POV Anita hid at the back of a stall. The guards returned to their positions. Imagine how she was sneaking like a criminal. She waited till a guard was alone. she heard something along the lines of him taking a piss.A twig snapped, and the guard turned. He didn't see anyone. He unsheathed his sword and took his torch walking in Anita's direction to inspect the cause of that noise. He swung immediately he saw a shadow."It's me," Anita spoke, dodging the blade, and he bowed immediately." I didn't know it was you." He replied, dropping his sword.He wondered what the Baroness was doing in the bush at this time of the night, but he dared not ask." I need you to send a letter to someone." She whispered and brought out another letter from her pocket. The guard found it odd that she was whispering when everyone knew that her voice could send the greatest wolves running." Give this to Alpha Derek, and don't tell anyone you saw me," she instructed "Yes, ma'am." He replied.An
Author's POV " Let's get him to the healer!" Amara said as people helped her lift Rocky, and rush him to the healer's place. It had been a long the healer had seen Amara, and she heard that she was now working directly with Anita."Lay him on the couch. Remove his clothes." She instructed, and her assistant brought out a cloth and a bowl half filled with water. " I'll like the crowd to reduce a bit." She said it was getting heated in here from the influx of fellow drivers.They left one after the other, and she mopped his chest, with the damp cloth. " What is wrong with him?" Amara inquired, her face in a state of panic. Her hands were getting clammy, and she paced around. " He will be fine." The healer replied, in her years of experience, she found out that a lot of relatives didn't like to hear what was wrong with their loved ones, and all they needed at such time was assurance that the sick person was not going to die.Amara heaved a sigh of relief as she watched color return t
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
