DAMIANI didn't bother to call back and ask why he wants me at his room by this time. Instead, I got myself cleaned up and dressed to visit him.Casey didn't even make a move despite all the sounds I was making. She just slept peacefully on the bed, ignoring her surroundings.I rolled my eyes at her behavior, grabbed my phone, and exited the room.My two guards who followed us down to Northern Pack were staying in the next room. I didn't even bother to beep them about my meeting with Henry. I just left to meet my partner.On getting to Henry's room, he immediately grabbed his car key and said, " Come with me, Alpha.""To where?" I asked when I saw him scanning his eyes around the room, sliding his key into hus pocket.He then dropped his eyes on me and said, " I thought Alpha Woods told you ahead of time that you'll be seeing him soon?""Alpha Woods?" I remembered our call back at my office. This is the main reason why I came to Northern Lights in the first place.I almost forgot!"My
ANASTASIA"Diego?" I groaned out from my sleep, looking around to find my Alpha.The bed was empty. He was nowhere in the room."Where is he?" I wondered to myself while sitting up, attending to my aching forehead. I was still feeling tired from last night's drama with Diego. But knowing my Alpha was nowhere near me, I couldn't sleep anymore.I can remember his conversation with the Beta. He didn't tell me exactly what they were talking about. It felt like Diego was trying to keep me out of his plan."No, I'm just over thinking," I believed."He's just trying to make sure things are in place. He's not keeping anything from me. We're a team," I smiled, carefully dragging myself to the edge of the bed.Since the room looked empty, I assumed Diego left to meet with Arnold for something.I got out of bed and went into the bathroom to take my shower, only to be surprised by someone's presence.Diego! He was standing in front of the mirror with a towel wrapped around his waist, talking to s
ANASTASIATowards the afternoon, I was at the pool lying on my sunbed to receive the heat from the sun.Diego had stepped out with Arnold for a brief work, while I was left behind under the watchful eyes of two guards.I decided to join the other wealthy wolves and bath in the sun, enjoying the nice heat touching my skin.That's when my dear stepsister Cassandra, came over in her own bikini and sat on the sunbed next to me.Talk about trying to steal the show. She wore a revealing swim wear that almost showed off her private areas. I don't know who she's trying to oppress but... She's doing herself."This is what I'm talking about," She hummed with delight, stretching out her body.The guard who followed her, dropped down her towel and other pool stuffs he carried along for Casey.She sat down and flaunted her figures, getting some men to stare at her body.I just laid at my end and rolled my eyes at her, while she talked about her bikini and how expensive it costs."Damian really lov
ANASTASIASPLASH! I swam into the pool, paddling my legs until I was back at the surface for air again.The coolness of the water really got to me real hard. It made my skin feel so refresh.Just when I popped out, my step sister came swimming out from my left hand side, swaying her head to get the water off her face.She's only swimming along with me because our Alphas decided to have a chat and watch us bath in the pool. I didn't want Casey joining me but it's better than having Damian inside the water, hovering around like a shark.My protective Alpha had to sacrifice his fun to keep my Ex away from me. He felt that was better, since I wanted to have a swim."Oh Goddess! Maybe I should join a swimming competition and become a champion," Casey said, stretching out her arms proudly."Is that another game the hotel hosts for wealthy guests?" I asked, rolling my eyes at her.She chuckled and responded, " No, they don't run that here. I'm just thinking about taking up such an activity."
ANASTASIAFinally, the day was here.Cassandra came over one more time to remind me of the event taking place at eight in the night."Please Anna, after tonight you won't get the chance to see Father again. This is the best opportunity for you to come and meet him," She said, standing outside the door of my room.I didn't allow her to step inside no matter how much she wanted to invite herself in, but I attended to her outside there.And like every other begging she has been displaying, I refused."I'm sorry, sis. You'll have to go there without me. There's always another time," I said, smiling at her.Casey rolled her eyes at me and said, swaying her head, "I can't believe I did all that begging just to get rejected again. But it's fine, Anna. I'll just tell mother than you were busy.""Why tell her? Is it a must for her to know?" I asked, crossing my arms.Casey grinned at me, giving silly reasons why she wants Mom to be aware. "You know I already told her that we found you and I'm
ANASTASIADiego was in rage, glaring right at my family.Father, who got to his feet, froze at the sight of the man he has always hated for long.He growled at him."Alpha Diego?" Linda called in shock, drawing back to meet the others.My Alpha's presence brought a disrupt. They were all staring at him in shock."Anna, are you okay?" Diego asked, turning around to face me.Knowing he came here to protect me, I fell weak and rushed into his arms for support. I squeezed him tight, burying myself in hold while glowering at my enemies.What pains me is the fact that my father rather stands with those monsters than support the one he gave birth to.The one who did everything he wanted until she was ruined."What are you doing here?" Father questioned, dusting Casey and Linda's hand off his body roughly."How did you get into my party, you animal?""Your party is that way, old man. You are just outside the hall. This area isn't part of the money you paid, so keep that question to yourself,
DIEGO"Alpha, is everything okay?" Arnold asked while driving.I hummed at his question, still thinking about Anastasia and that crazy family of hers.I feel so mad at them. I am really annoyed with her foolish father!How can he stupidly ignore his daughter and start fighting her over that devilish woman?!I was in the crowds when I saw Anna leaving the party and Raymond was following from behind. It was clear to me that she found a way to draw his attention away from Linda and the others.But when I realized those three weren't even present in the hall, I knew something was going on. That's why I went over to find Anna, but found all of them ganging up against her!That man is so lucky that he didn't hit her. I don't care if he's her father, I would have broken that hand and made sure he can't raise it up to hit her ever again!"Alpha," Arnold called, patting me on the leg.I didn't even know that I had zoned out deeply into my thoughts. Arnold's voice and touch brought me back to m
ANASTASIA"Where am I? " I groaned, struggling to pull myself up from wherever I was lying.Not just that, I couldn't remember the last thing that happened to me. The only thing that flashed to my memory was a blurry image of flames and... Goodness, Why do I feel so heavy and hot from inside?When I opened my eyes to look around, all I could see was a blurry window and something like a door in the dark.In fact, I was in a dark place, lying down on a cold ground.My head came spinning when I tried to get to my feet and have a good view of my surroundings. The dizziness almost sent me back to the ground with force.Slowly and carefully, my eyes began to have a clear view of my area. I looked again and gave a final conclusion on where I was.I'm definitely in a room with just a window and a door. It looked like a prison in a tower or something.I just couldn't... "Shit! Why am I feeling this heat?!" I gasped out strongly, losing my vision once again.I wasn't comfortable at all in my ow
ANASTASIA"Where's the Van?" I groaned, moving from one vehicle to the other, looking for Diego.When I got close to any of the van, I'd hide myself from the guards moving about, hoping not to get caught by anyone of them.The last thing I want is to be seen by Woods or any of these wolves. If that old man gets a hold of me, then that's it for my Alpha Lord.Woods will use me to against Diego."Oh Goddess, Where's the van?" I trembled while hiding by the side of a van, looking at the other vans arranged along with cars and trucks.But none of them had the X mark on their... "There!" I almost shrieked out loudly but held my voice back!I finally found the van! But it's located right at the center, parked behind a black car. Still, it's far from me."Thank you Goddess. I found it!" I smiled, sneakily making my way to the van to save my Alpha from the danger that's about to befall him.Just then, I heard the sound of a loud alarm buzzing all around noisily. It irritated my eardrums but d
ANASTASIA"How long to the port?" I asked two of the guards who sat right in the car with me, heading for Diego's destination.I had to get them along in this mission, sharing my findings with them. I can't do this alone without their help."It's a seven hour drive," They replied, glancing at me before facing the road again.I gulped down worriedly, taking a look at the time on my phone. "By the time we get there, it'd be really dark," I said, thinking about my Alpha Lord.That asshole of a Beta called Xavier! I knew something wasn't right about his so-called assistance. He wants to get my Alpha killed by the Mafias.This is his way of paying Diego back for beating and keeping him locked up.Damn him!I feel so troubled knowing that I can't reach Diego and Arnold. Their lines aren't connecting."What do you plan on doing, Ma'am?" One of the guards asked from the front passenger seat."I... Um..." I uttered confusingly, having no idea on where to start from. All I could voice out from
ANASTASIAI don't know how to take this sudden decision from Diego but, why is he coming to the lab?I can't even ask Arnold that question now that the Alpha is here with us, and the Beta isn't helping matters with that smile on his face.Why is he looking at me like that?I frowned at Arnold, who gave a light chuckle and said, facing the steering wheel, "Let's hit the road.""Goodness, we are really heading there with Diego. Did he suddenly have a change of heart after last night? Did he place his work aside to be with me during my check up?" I wondered with a blush, playing with my fingers while keeping my head down.Arnold started his car and drove out of the premises.Where I sat, I was beginning to feel stuffed in my seat, looking for a way to ease this troubling feeling I was getting.Whenever the guards take me to see Jeremy, I always make the backseat of the car my own personal space.I can stretch and do whatever I want, but with Diego here... Gosh, I feel choked.To even loo
ANASTASIA"Anna, what happened?" Arnold came into the room to meet the place messy.I was sitting right in the bathroom, feeling lost.He walked in and squatted next to me, checking my hands to see Diego's handprints on me.He was stunned. He lifted his eyes to look into my gaze, carefully cupping my face in his hold. "Anna, what led to this? Why is this place so messy?""Arnold," I called, taking his hands off my face. "Please help me.""Anna.""I don't want to stay here with that man anymore. I want to go, please!" I begged, crying before him.Arnold became worried. He begged me not to think about leaving, promising to talk to Diego."I'll go and see him and...""I DON'T CARE ANYMORE!" I sparked angrily at him, expressing my frustration. "NO MORE, PLEASE! The Diego I fell in love with is gone. I don't this man. I don't know him!" I sniveled."Anna, Anna look... Please hear me out.""Arnold, if you really care about me then you'll help me out. Take me away from here before I end up
ANASTASIAMorning, I stood under the shower to take my bath and relief myself from the ache I was feeling.The medicine Jeremy injected into my body still had an effect on me. When I got to my room last night, I fell asleep.Waking up now, It feels like a heavy load was placed on my body from head to toe.Even my V region is throbbing funnily like it was being touched in my sleep."Please tell me I didn't masturbate while sleeping?" I groaned out, raising my head under the water to feel it running down my face.Once I was done showering, I came out of the bathroom and walked up to the closet to get myself a new cloth.While I was doing this, I recallled what that devilish step sister of mine had said about Diego. Even his promise to give her sex began to trouble me again."What if he does it?" I wondered, getting scared.His behavior these days makes it hard for me to tell if he's only teasing Casey. What if he really sleeps with her?"I swear to the heavens, he does. He's just lost.
ANASTASIATwo days later, I was heading out of the mansion with six guards, just to carry out another test at the lab.I was very weak that afternoon and wished Arnold was around to follow me, but he went to the company with Diego. So, I had to go alone with these men.As we made our way to the lab, I began to feel nauseous from the pills I've been taking. I planned to bring this to Jeremy's notice and hear from him.But right on the road, "Stop the car!" I ordered the guard behind the wheel, holding my mouth.He immediately stopped and I pushed the door open, vomiting right on the road."Oh Goddess!" I groaned, stepping out to find a spot to sit and get some air."Ma'am, you know we have to move," The guards said, following me over to a bench.Luckily we weren't far from a nice spot. I sat on the bench to get myself, looking right into the sky.The guards didn't bother to talk again. They just stood there, keeping watch.Just as I was enjoying my peaceful moment, hoping the nauseous
ANASTASIAMorning, I woke up to a pounding ache in my own head.I took the pill as Arnold had said and it didn't take long for me to fall asleep. But waking up eight hours later, I felt so weak.Like the Beta said, this is a sign that the drug is holding the infection. But the weakness I'm feeling is so strong.I carefully got out of bed and walked up to the wall, staring at it.If someone else sees me like this, they'd think I've lost my senses, but I know exactly where I'm going and what I'm doing.Stretching my hand, I reached for the secret surveillance camera on the wall and checked to see it was still unplugged.It was. Just the way Arnold left it.The Beta once saw Diego checking the surveillance in my room, watching me masturbate in an abnormal way.That video almost made Diego aware of what was happening. He first assumed I was creating some kind of drama to get his attention, and that made him annoyed. But slowly, he began to see something else which he felt was strange.Arn
ANASTASIAThe terrible incident from last night had gotten the attention of the Wolf force and every other packs.The force visited the road where the explosion had taken place and also the spot where Henry was tossed off the building by Woods.The Billionaire was mashed to nothing. No one could recognize him in the pile of his mess.The residents of the pack who witnessed the terrible act of Woods during the explosion, shared this with the force and to the of their pack.From all the information and bodies they found, they could only arrive at the conclusion that this was the work of a Mafia attack on a rival.The force couldn't find any trace of a suspect at the location. Neither Diego nor Woods left a trail linking to them.It was as if we never went to Northern Lights.While we were returning home last night, Diego made sure his guards, who were back at N.L , cleared our things from the hotel room, and shipped it down to Crescent swiftly.Everything was done so smoothly. Even the
ANASTASIAWoods chuckled at my tremble, exiting the room. He ordered the guard outside to keep me locked until he comes back to entertain his guest.And by guest he means Diego."It'll be the last time you'll ever see that man," Woods said, talking to me.My heart sank deeply in fear. This monster wants to take my first time and kill Diego!No, I can't allow this. I don't want this!Horrified by Woods plan, I had to think of a way to escape before it's too late. But I had no idea of what to do or how to begin.I felt suffocated!"Anna, come on. You can't go down like this. There has to be something," I said, getting to my feet and looking around the room."Think fast!"Hovering around, my eyes fell on the window. I quickly rushed up to it and realized we where in a tall building, like the skyscraper father was hosting his party.And the sound of cars honking showed we where in a busy area."Looks like we're still in Northern Lights," I pointed, seeing two other tall buildings ahead.O
