Anita povDarius chuckled, his eyes twinkling with amusement. “Alright, fair enough,” he said, leaning against the counter. “But if you change your mind, just let me know.” I nodded, turning back to my task, but I couldn’t shake the feeling of his gaze on me, the warmth of his presence filling the room. It was comforting, in a way, but also unsettling. I wasn’t used to this kind of attention, wasn’t sure how to handle it. As I finished chopping the vegetables, Darius reached out, gently brushing a stray lock of hair behind my ear. “You’re doing great, Anita,” he said softly, his voice barely above a whisper. “I’m proud of you.” My heart skipped a beat, and I felt my cheeks flush with heat. I opened my mouth to say something, but before I could, the kitchen door slammed open, and Alpha Orion stormed in, his expression thunderous. “What the hell is going on in here?” he demanded, his eyes blazing with anger as he glared at Darius. Darius straightened up, his expression calm and com
Alpha Orion's povLater that day, I found myself wandering through the palace grounds, my thoughts still consumed by the mystery of Anita and Darius. The palace was a hive of activity, with pack members bustling about, preparing for the potential threat from the Redmoon Pack. But despite the flurry of activity, my mind remained fixated on Anita. As I rounded a corner, I caught sight of her in the distance. She was in the courtyard, sweeping the stone path with a worn broom, her movements slow and methodical. But she wasn’t alone. Darius was there with her, his shirt sleeves rolled up as he helped her with the chores. I felt a pang of jealousy flare up in my chest, hot and sharp. What was he doing here? Why was he helping her? I watched as they worked side by side, their heads bent close together as they spoke in low voices. They seemed comfortable with each other, too comfortable for my liking. I clenched my fists, fighting the urge to march over there and demand answers. But I kn
Anita's povDarius shook his head, his eyes filled with sadness. “You’re not a nobody, Anita. You’re strong, you’re kind, and you’ve been through so much. I see that. And I want to be there for you, to help you find your way.” I looked down, my hands trembling. “But I don’t deserve it,” I whispered. “I don’t deserve your kindness, your care. I’m just... I’m just trying to survive.” Darius took a step closer, his hand gently cupping my chin and lifting my face to meet his gaze. “You deserve so much more than you think, Anita,” he said softly. “You deserve to be happy, to be cared for, to feel safe. And if I can help you find that, then that’s what I’m going to do.” I felt a tear slip down my cheek, and I quickly wiped it away, turning my head to hide my face. “I don’t know if I can,” I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper. “I don’t know if I can let myself feel that, to let myself be happy.” Darius nodded, his expression understanding. “I know it’s hard,” he said gently. “But
Anita's povHe raised an eyebrow, his grin widening. “Stalking you? Hardly. I’ve simply been keeping an eye on you. There’s a difference.” I felt a surge of frustration, my fists clenching at my sides. “Why? Why are you watching me? What do you want?” The man shrugged, his expression infuriatingly calm. “I could ask you the same thing. You’re the one who came after me, remember?” I opened my mouth to argue, but then I stopped. He was right. I had chased after him, not the other way around. But that didn’t change the fact that he had been following me. I could feel it in my gut, a nagging suspicion that he was hiding something. “Who are you?” I demanded, my voice shaking with anger and confusion. “And what do you want from me?” The man’s expression softened slightly, and he took a step closer, his eyes searching mine. “My name is Prince Kael of the Mooncrest Pack,” he said quietly. “And as for what I want... I want to know why you’re still alive.” I blinked, my mind reeling. “Wha
Alpha Orion's pov"Yes I remember vividly about what happened that day. This is really sad. Our enemies are really working to destroy or scatter our pack and we must do everything in our power to stop them." I said to Luke looking at him intensely. He nodded acknowledging what I had just said. I clenched my hand yo my chin for somr moment of deep thoughts. But all these things they were saying were true? Who dare do this thing to Alpha Orion's pack? My pack not anyone's. This is really not good and I do not like it at all. I'll need to move on from this place now and take a look around the vicinity.I raised my head up to them for what seem like a minute i had been in thoughts, "i will go and do some inspections in the pack so that we would know what to do after this. Then, let's also find more into finding thesse spies." Some started looking at each other and while some wete nodding in acknowledgement of what I had just said. If we can just Suddenly, one of the elders stood up
Anita's povI know,” I replied, my voice filled with determination. “But I won’t let him harm this pack. Not again.” For the next three days, the tension within the pack only grew. Patrols were doubled, and everyone was on high alert. I spent hours in the throne room, going over strategies and plans with Beta Luke and the other elders, trying to anticipate Darius’s next move. But despite all our preparations, I couldn’t shake the feeling that we were missing something. That Darius had a plan, and we were walking right into it. On the third day, just as the sun was beginning to set, a scout came running into the throne room, his face pale and his eyes wide with fear. “Alpha Orion!” he shouted, his voice trembling. “Darius... he’s here. He’s at the northern border.” My heart skipped a beat, and I stood up quickly, my mind racing. “Is he alone?” The scout nodded, his expression grim. “Yes, Alpha. But he’s demanding to speak with you. He says it’s urgent.” I exchanged a quick glanc
Darius povI knew I shouldn’t be here. I knew I should leave the pack grounds and put as much distance between myself and Alpha Orion as possible. But I couldn’t. I couldn’t leave Anita behind, not when I still had so many unanswered questions. Why had Alpha Orion rescued her from her pack? And what was he doing with her now? The idea that he might be using her, that he might be taking advantage of her, made my blood boil. I needed to know the truth, and I needed to know it now. As the hours ticked by, I watched the pack house, waiting for the right moment. Finally, when the lights inside began to dim and the sounds of the pack settling down for the night filled the air, I made my move. I slipped through the shadows, moving quickly and silently towards the back of the house. I knew where Anita’s room was—I had seen her go in and out of it enough times to be sure. I reached the window and rapped softly on the glass, hoping she would hear me. A few moments later, the curtains parted
Darius povAfter my visit to Alpha orions pavk, i was surprised to find Anita, the gril fromm the forest in that place. How come? How was she there? Since my stay in the pavk i haven't seen or xome across her before? Or did she newly come to the place. Maybe she did. But why was she in the palace, not only there but with maid clothes? Is she now working there? A lot of questions came running through my mind as i saw her there.I can't believe what i saw at all. These was the girl i had told Alpha Orion that i had missed while in the forest and the same person is the one that wants to make me travel too. Woah! I do not know what to do at this point. How do i make myself move away from this pack as i can see her here now. Immediately, i saw her, i was amused by her and as i looked at her shining blue eyes that came alive as the sun radiated on them matching with the soft glow emitted from it. I was so happy and wanted to let her know about it but there was no way I would do that,
