(ANNIE’S POV)

Truly, I could tell why Jessica really emphasized on the wealth of Janelle’s family.

As we walked up to the estate, a sense of timelessness washed over me. The wrought-iron gates, adorned with intricate vines and crests, creaked open with a groan, revealing a cobblestone driveway that stretched into the distance.

The towering oak trees, their branches reaching towards the sky, cast long, dancing shadows across the manicured lawns.

The mansion was a masterpiece of architectural grandeur. Its weathered façade hinted at centuries of history.

“Wow.” I could not help but say.

“I know right. Come on, there’s more inside .” Jessica said giggling as we linked our arms together and she lead me towards the entrance.

A grand double door, flanked by ornate columns, beckoned me inside. As I stepped through, the air was filled with the scent of freshly cut flowers and the distant murmur of conversation.

The interior was a stunning blend of old-world elegance and modern comfort. Hig

I swear I can’t believe that he is here!” Marie hurried in and closed the door behind her as she announced to her friends, Janelle and Kiko.“Are you serious? I can’t fucking take a joke right now!” Janelle said as she stood up in an instant.“No I’m not joking. I went downstairs to get some wine for myself and I heard the servants talking. I didn’t belive at first because you know that he never comes for all these social events. But then I just went a little ahead and there he was.” Marie said excited as she looked dreamily in to the thin air.“I have to change my dress.” Janelle announced immediately as she stalked to her closet room. The first time in forever that Alpha Vane was here gracing everyone with his presence at a party and it was at her own house? How lucky was she? Marie and Kiko chatted excitedly about Alpha Vane’s presence and then Janelle popped her head outside the curtains.“Where is the wine?” She snapped at Marie.

I’LL make sure we save you lots of food.” He said and they went off.I could hear them arguing in the distance. I turned to look at Alpha Vane and he had his eyes fixed on me. I felt shy under his gaze. “Well, I really did not expect to see you here.” I summoned the courage to say.He was dressed in all black as usual but there was something more formal with his clothes. It was tailored with silver and deep blue embroidery on it. He looked like a young Prince. “And why is that?” Alpha Vane asked me.“Because you don’t seem like the party type and everyone says it’s hard to set their eyes on you.” I said playing with my fingers as I spoke.The sound of running water from the fountain nearby was the only sound asides from our voices.“You see me a good number of times.” He said to me.I laughed dryly and said with sarcasm. “Be

    (ANNIE’S POV)“I need your help Grandma. I want to meet with the keepers.” I said to her with a sheepish smile as she opened the door with an unamused face.She still looked sleepy and with how rough her hair was and how late she came back yesterday, I know she had a good time at the party. Which was even more reason for her to slam the door in my face at the moment.But she didn’t. She leaned against the door frame and her face showed that she was surprised.“The keepers? Is everything all right?” She asked me. “Is something wrong?”“Actually no grandma. Nothing is wrong. In fact everything is about to be okay.” I said feeling ecstatic. “I want to partake in my responsibilities and duties of being the chosen one.”More surprise spread as grandma’s face as she looked at me in disbelief.“But honey, they gave their decision just a day ago.” She said to me. “Yeah well I disagree and I have a right to disagree. It’s me who is the chosen one. So please can something be done? Can I call a

    (VANE’S POV)After Annie left, we the keepers still stayed together to talk briefly. Kelt and Sheryl had gone out to find out what they could about Alpha X. Their return was very much anticipated as it would tell us what next to do and how soon the Great War is to be expected.“I still think that we made a very big mistake by telling Annie that she has a chance to take up the duty of ths chosen one.” Tana said once the gathering was over and everyone was starting to disperse.We all turned to look at her. I could tell that she was very angry and I could not fathom why. Why exactly was she so against Annie performing her duty? But then again, I am hardly ever the one to join myself in these matters of discussions and debates. “Annie is undergoing a trial. It doesn’t seem harmful.” Terra said.“Besides, In everything we have to do we have made the position for a chosen one evident. It would be important if Annie can make it to a great expectation.” Roy said.“Why is that so important?

    (ANNIE’S POV)Grandma started teaching me basic martial arts stuff when I was still a toddler. She signed me up for groups and competitions and I have sixteen winning titles altogether. I used to think Grandma encouraged me so much and trained with me as well because she saw how good I was at it. But I guess I know I know the reason why she made sure that I trained as hard as ever .As I stepped in to the combat room on the bright and early morning of the first day of the week, I could not help but look around in awe.It had sections and platforms. There were targets and dummies also hanging from the ceiling of the almost bare room.“The look on your face is totally priceless. Is it every regular teenager in New York who gets so excited from seeing combat rooms?” Jessica asked.She had her arms linked in to mine as we walked together. We had not seen each other throughout the weekend and I was relieved when I saw her waiting for me at the gates this morning.She told me she had spent

    (ANNIE’S POV)I stood rubbing my own shoulders and feeling a little bit anxious as I stood behind Roy while he argued with Tana. I could hear quite clearly.“She has no wolf!” Tana argued.“No one is fighting in wolves until the day of the competition so there’s no harm in her being in the class.” Roy said sternly.“And so what good will it be if she joins the senior group when she can’t even try to partake in the competition?” Tana went on to say.“I just want you to give her a chance. She’s well skilled. Too skilled to be in the Mid group.” Roy said in a pleading tone.They argued a little more for a few second and then Roy came and tapped my shoulders with a smile.“Knock ‘em out.” He whispered to me with a wink as he walked away. I offered a nervous smile to Tana but it met her icy stare and she turned around with a hiss.“Come in. I do not have all day.” She said loud and clear for me to come in.I came in to the large dojo room. It was bigger than the one I had just left with ol

It was not like I could not walk or anything, they simply won’t let me try to walk home myself. They left me with grandma who had not stopped complaining because she heard that I was in an open fight in the senior group and on my first day as well.“Why on earth will Tana even do this? You’re not accustomed to the ways of an open fight. She was just trying to be mean.” Grandma complained. “Besides I believe what your friend said.”Jessica was angry as well. She said that Janelle had used her wolf skills even though she had not transformed. I really did not care.I know that it annoyed me when I saw Janelle with an annoying smirk on her face while I was being helped away. “Please

Her and hee group of friends giggled and I shook my head while Jessica rolled her eyes.“I wish I could hit someone in the face.” Jessica said with a tightened fist.I knew that she was not joking. If she was allowed to, she would have beaten up a few people just this morning.It was no surprise to me that the news of my lost match with Janelle was circulating school the next morning. “Don’t bother yourself. They are not worth it.” I said closing my locker door shut and walking with her to our next class together.“Are you okay?” Jessica asked politely and I nodded.“I’m fine. Maybe just stressed. I got up really early this morning and trained.” I said.Jessica turned to me with wide eyes.“You did? But you are not strong enough. How did you? Did Joan let you do that?” She asked in amazement.“No sh

    (BRAD’S POV)“Nah! Hell No dude!” Rico, Henry’s cousin said as he shook his head and tried to close the door he had only held open for some seconds. His eyes had initially been wearing a smile when he saw Henry but immediately he saw Bella, his expression changedz“Rico Please.” Henry begged using his foot to hold the door open. “My wife is in there. Why the fuck are you bringing a dead girl over to my house? Are you crazy?” Rico said angrily as he came out and closed the door behind him after pushing Henry backwards. “She’s not dead! She’s only drunk!” I said immediately. Rico stayed unmoving with his eyes just watching Bella as she lay in my arms . “Please Rico, we don’t have anywhere else to go. We would be in so much trouble if we go to anyone else for help.” Henry begged. Bella started muttering to herself and that seemed to make Rico feel better about it.“You owe me big time. You know what that means.” Rico said as he signaled us to follow him.“He wants some cash.” Henry

    (ANNIE’S POV)“Well I really think that you should not be listening to what anyone says.” Jessica said as we walked home.By anyone, she was actually referring to Keeper Tana.“And If Janelle was the one who had won the match and you had been carried out looking like a dead leaf, then I know that she would not have complained.” Jessica said.As much as I was feeling guilty, I had to admit that Jessica was actually right. Keeper Tana was being very partial towards me. During the last match we had, she was the one who had subjected me to an open fight without letting me agree, that’s not among the rules to begin with.Then on top of that, she did not even show the slightest bit of care “I don’t know why she doesn’t lien me.” I admitted to Jessica.“Oh! You should not bother yourself, really.” Jessica said with a wave of her hand. “I don’t really think Tana likes anyone to begin with.”“Yeah I understand but she’s just so anti towards me.” I said sadly.“Well you should not let that br

    (ANNIE’S POV)The whole room was as silent as a graveyard and it was almost like no one was going to say a word. All their gazes had now focused on me. Even Keeper Tana looked like she was surprised to see that I stood up from my seat. “Annie. Please don’t let Janelle get to you. Annie.” Jessica tried to call me in a whisper but I did not listen to her. “I will be okay.” I whispered to her quickly.Then, I simply walked in ahead to stand opposite Janelle.Janelle was surprised as well at first but then a sly smile climbed on her face as she spun her hair in to bun. I did the same with my hair.“I have to say, I didn’t expect that you would be persistent. At least you have one thing above you that matches being a chosen one. As for me, Getting to beat you two times in one week?” Janelle said with a laugh. “That would be a Great pleasure for me .”“Annie, you should not let your ego get in between you. Sometimes we lose fights, sometimes we win.” I could hear Keeper Tana’s voice from

    (ANNIE’S POV)Grandma made sure that I spent two more days at home without going to school after my mate. She had seen some bruises on my body and was bent on making me spend time to recover properly at home.The only thing that made me sad about it was the fact that I had not gotten to see Jessica yet.Grandma said she wanted me to rest but she had no idea that I was still finding a way to keep practicing day and night. Nothing was going to stop me. Not even her strictness. So, when she finally let me out on the third day and inspected me as I got ready to leave for school, I hoped that she would not notice anything about my looks again.“You look well rested. I know it’s combat day today but please be careful.” She said to me giving me a hug.I actually felt excited to return back to school and when I saw Jessica, I was even more excited.“If i did not see you today, I was going to make sure that I killed Seth.” Jessica said as she slung her arm around me and we walked together to

    (VANE’S POV)The moment I got indoors, I dumped the bags on a table and let out a loud growl as I paced about the open space. I wanted to yell. I wanted to fight. I wanted to break things. I wanted to snap a tree in to two. How dare he? How dare he?“Young Alpha?” Lucian’s voice interrupted me and my thoughts.“Lucian.” I answered simply with a growl in my throat. I was truly not in a good moment and I really doubt that even Lucian could make me feel like talking to him. The older man walked closer to me carefully and looked around. Then I saw his eyes light up as they landed on the paper bags that I had just dumped on the table “You paid a visit to the diner? Did you go for me, because I know you hardly go there?” Lucian said as he walked over to the table to glimpse at the paper bags.I have no idea what the hell I had just bought. I only went in there because of Annie.I had paid a visit to her in her room but she was not there and so I had decided to trace her scent. I found

    (ANNIE’S POV)As I brushed my hair gently and wore an Alice band, I could not help but think that I had not seen Alpha Vane recently. The last time I saw him was days ago, after the welcome party. The night I had read the book he had written. His own dark encounter of the war that took his family and his pack members .Seeing as he is someone who doesn’t like to express himself easily, I believe it must have been hard for him to open up to tell me that or maybe he was not coming around anymore because he simply wanted to make sure that I owned up to my responsibilities of being the Chosen one and since I was doing that, he wasn’t interested in coming around anymore.A little bit of disappointment gnawed at me from inside but I pushed it aside as grandma came in to my room.“Oh. You look pretty.” She said to me in admiration.“Thanks Grandma.” I said with a smile.I wouldn’t say that I look pretty. I mean not with that fresh red scar that was sitting below my lip, thanks to Janelle fo
