ANNA

As I watched Dante walk into our safe house, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of worry. It had been a month since we had fled from the Black River Pack, and while we were finally free, life was hard. Especially for Dante. He wasn't used to living without money and his father's connections. But he refused to admit it to me.

I knew he was struggling, though. He spent long hours working as a construction worker in the small town we had settled in. It was hard, physical work, and it took a toll on him. But he never complained. And I admired him for that.

I did what I could to help him, too. I sold food from house to house, using my cooking skills to earn some extra money for us. It wasn't much, but it helped. And it was something we could do together.

But sometimes, I couldn't help feeling sorry for Dante. He had grown up with a silver spoon in his mouth, and now he was struggling to make ends meet. It wasn't fair. But life wasn't fair, and we had to make the best of what we had.

    ANNA As we settled in for the night, Dante wrapped his arms around me, pulling me close. "I love you, Anna," he whispered in my ear. "I love you too, Dante," I replied, snuggling into his embrace. And at that moment, all the struggles and hardships faded away. Because we had each other. And that was enough. The next morning, I woke up to Dante's smiling face. He was practically bouncing with excitement as he told me that someone was impressed with his work. I couldn't help but smile at his enthusiasm. "Who was it?" I asked, sitting up in bed. "It was a rich guy who just built a new house," Dante replied. "He saw some of my interior designs and was really impressed. He wants me to design his entire house." "That's amazing, Dante!" I exclaimed, feeling a surge of pride for him. "I hope you will get paid well for your hard work,” Dante's face lit up even more. "I will be compensated a lot. Enough to cover our expenses for a while and even save up some money." I couldn't help but

    Dante trudged down the street, his feet heavy with exhaustion. It had been a long day at work, and his body ached with fatigue. He had been working hard to impress his first client, Mr. Smith, with his interior design skills. But in the end, it had all paid off - Mr. and Mrs. Smith were thrilled with his plans and had even given him a 30% half advance payment. Dante couldn't believe his luck. Although he was born rich, life had been tough ever since he left his pack with Anna. Every cent counted, and he was shocked to see that Mr. Smith had given him $3000 just for the layout design. And there will be more once he finishes the tasks. Tears stung his eyes as he thanked the couple profusely, his heart overflowing with gratitude. He could still remember his conversation with the couple. "You deserve it, Dante," Mrs. Smith said warmly, patting his arm. "Your work is exceptional, and we couldn't be happier with what you've done." Dante could hardly believe his ears. He had always been pa

    ANNA I woke up in a dark, secluded, and empty jail. The walls were made of damp and cold stones. The air smelled of mold and decay. It looked like an underground jail, the kind they show in movies, and my heart was racing with fear. Suddenly, I remembered the last scene before I ended up here. Someone had blocked my way going back home and punched me, beating me. I was scared and confused, not knowing where I was. All I could think of was Dante, my love. I prayed that he was safe and far away from here. The room was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything. It was dark and cold, and the silence was deafening. I could hear the faint sound of dripping water from somewhere. The silence was broken by the sound of the door opening, and I saw Donovan Rossi, Dante's father, the Lycan King, standing before me. He had a devilish grin on his face while looking at me. I could feel his eyes piercing through me, and a shiver ran down my spine. I knew he was the mastermind behind everything. "W

    ANNA I couldn't believe my eyes as I stared out the window of the Black Pearl Pack's headquarters. Donovan Rossi had brought me all the way back to Henesy City, and from where I stood, I could see a large gathering of my packmates outside. It looked like some kind of ceremony or celebration was taking place, but I had no idea what it could be for. And why had Donovan brought me here of all places? My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of footsteps approaching. I could smell Donovan's scent before he even entered the room, and my heart sank. I had heard so many stories about the Lycan King from Dante, and none of them were good. Donovan strode into the room with a devilish laugh, gripping my chin tightly in his hand. My whole body tensed up as he began to speak, his voice dripping with venom. I can’t move or do anything, he’s too strong. "I'm mad at you, Anna," he growled. "My son's life has changed because of you. He insists on being with a poor slave like you, a rankless wolf

    ANNA The Black Pearl Pack all cheered and shouted in unison. “Yes! She deserves it!” “Give that ambitious rankless wolf a lesson!” “She stole the Lycan Prince from his mate! Darlyn Taylor deserves the Lycan Prince!” “Get lost, rankless wolf!” The Lycan King laughed out loud. His laugh filled the entire stadium. I felt tears welling up in my eyes as I realized what was about to happen. I didn't know what kind of punishment they had in mind, but I knew it was going to be bad. Donovan Rossi was standing next to me, laughing and sneering at me. He was the epitome of evil, and I could feel his hatred and malice radiating off of him. Even if I can’t see him I know he is looking at me with contempt, as if I was nothing but a piece of trash that needed to be thrown away. I felt so pitiful and small like I was nothing in the face of all these people. But I refused to let them break me. I knew that I was strong and that I had the willpower to survive this. I would not let them defeat me

    ANNA I never thought that my life would come to this. Five days ago, I was just a happy wolf with the man I love. Now, I'm trapped in a dark room, with chains around my wrists and ankles, and duct tape over my mouth. I can't even scream for help, even if I wanted to. All I can do is sit here in silence and wait for Donovan Rossi, the Lycan King, to come and torture me again. It's been five days since he took me away from Dante. Five days of pain, fear, and uncertainty. Donovan enjoys seeing me beg for mercy and watching me suffer. He likes to leave me alone in the dark, with only the faint light from the window to guide me. It's as if he's trying to break me, to make me submit to him. Every day, he gives me one small meal and a small cup of water. That's all I get to survive on. It's not enough to keep me going, but it's enough to keep me alive. I can feel myself getting weaker with each passing day, and I know that I can't keep this up forever. I know that Donovan is doing all of

    ANNA "Can I at least use a bathroom? I know you know that I need a bathroom," I said, trying to be brave. But Donovan smirked at me and looked at me from head to toe. "Are you really asking me? A poor rankless wolf like you Anna doesn't deserve any privilege," I try to keep my eyes downcast, but Donovan grabs my chin, forcing me to look at my poop. I feel sick to my stomach as he mocks me, comparing me to my waste. "You're just like this, Anna. Stench and nothing." He says with a sinister grin. I want to scream at him, to tell him how wrong he is. I am not just waste, and I am not nothing. But my voice is hoarse, and my throat is dry. I can barely manage a whisper. "Please, Donovan, let me go. I can't take this anymore." He laughs at my plea, throwing his head back. "Let you go? You know that's not going to happen until Dante gives up. And he won't give up. He's a fool for you." I try to pull away from his grip, but he tightens it, forcing me to look at him. His face is twisted w

    ANNA I am trapped, both physically and mentally, in this cold, dark cell. Donovan, the Lycan King, continues to torture me day in and day out, leaving me with bruises and scars that will never fully heal. Sometimes, they won't even give me food, leaving me to wither away in this hellhole. The chains on my wrists and ankles only add to my sense of confinement, making me feel like a prisoner in my own body. At night, the only light in this cell comes from the bright moon outside, casting eerie shadows across the stone walls. It's a small comfort, but it's all I have. I don't know how much longer I can hold on. I don't know when Donovan is going to stop punishing me, if ever. It feels like I've been here for an eternity, with no end in sight. And yet, even in the midst of my pain and suffering, I can't help but think of Dante. The Prince that stole my heart, who I know is out there somewhere, fighting against Donovan and his tyranny. I have no idea. Part of me wishes that Donovan wo

The minutes ticked by with excruciating slowness, each second intensifying my concern for her safety. It was as if the walls of the room were closing in on me, suffocating me with the uncertainty of her whereabouts.But between my frantic thoughts, a familiar voice cut through the haze of anxiety. Leonora Taylor, a respected figure within the pack, had arrived on time. Her concern was evident in the lines etched across her aged face."Dante, is it true? Lyza is missing?" Her voice held a mixture of worry and empathy, her eyes reflecting the genuine concern she felt for both Lyza and me.I offered her a tight-lipped nod, my voice carrying a heaviness that mirrored the turmoil within me. "Thanks for the concern, Leonora. But yes, she's missing. She didn't show up."The kindness in Leonora's gaze softened her features as she stepped closer. "I'll help y

    LYZA “I know I owe you an explanation, my daughter, Anna,” Estella smirked at me. Daughter? What? A wave of emotions crashed over me – disbelief, anger, and a deep-seated ache that I couldn't quite place. The very core of who I believed myself to be was unraveling before my eyes. "I'm not Anna! I’m not your daughter! I'm Lyza Pressman!" I protested, my voice quivering with a mix of frustration and confusion. Estella's eyes bore into mine, an unsettling mixture of triumph and malice dancing within them. "No matter what you say, Lyza. I knew it. You can't lie to me. I know it's you, my always good daughter, Anna!" My fists clenched, nails digging into my palms as her taunts grated against my already frayed nerves. "Stop talking too much! And tell me the fuck you want!" I shouted, the words escaping my lips before I could even fully process them. She chuckled, seemingly unfazed by my outburst. "Well, you are right. But since I'm too generous, I will tell you the truth about yourself

    LYZAI struggled against the restraints, my heart pounding in my chest as Estella's anger escalated. The fear and confusion were etched across my face as I desperately tried to make them understand that I had no knowledge of what they were accusing me of. But their relentless pursuit for answers pushed them further into darkness.Estella's grip tightened on my hair, yanking my head backward. The cold, hard drum pressed against the back of my skull, causing chills to run down my spine. My eyes widened in terror as I realized what they intended to do.The room fell silent, save for the sound of water dripping rhythmically onto the drum's surface. The tension in the air was suffocating, each passing second feeling like an eternity. Estella's cold eyes bore into mine, demanding a response that I couldn't provide."Speak, Lyza!" she hissed through clenched teeth, her voice dripping with venom. "Tell us what we want to know, or this drum will become your worst nightmare! Don’t make me mad,

    DANTEI paced back and forth in the office, my eyes constantly glancing at the wall clock as each minute ticked by with agonizing slowness. Lyza was never late, let alone two hours late for an important meeting like this. Something wasn't right, and my worry grew with each passing moment.I tried to convince myself to stay calm, to trust that there must be a reasonable explanation for her absence. Perhaps there was an unexpected complication, a delay beyond her control. But the nagging sense of unease gnawed at me, refusing to be silenced by logic.I reached for my phone, my hands trembling slightly as I dialed Lyza's number. The sound of the dial tone seemed to mock me, a constant reminder of the unanswered call. I tried again, hoping for a different outcome, but the result remained the same—her phone was out of coverage.My mind raced with countless possibilities, each one more troubling than the last. What if something terrible had happened to her? What if she was in danger and una

    LYZAThe door creaked open, revealing the silhouette of Philip, a chill ran down my spine. His face twisted into a sinister grin, his eyes gleaming with a malevolence that sent shivers through my already shaken form. He was the embodiment of a wicked antagonist, straight out of a nightmare.I strained to articulate my words, my voice trembling with a mix of anger and fear, but Philip merely chuckled, relishing in his cruel game. He taunted me, claiming he couldn't comprehend my muffled pleas. His laughter grated on my nerves, a twisted melody that underscored his malevolent intentions.With a twisted satisfaction, Philip removed the tape that had silenced me, his smirk growing wider as he allowed me to speak. I glared at him, my eyes burning with a fiery rage that demanded answers. This man, who had been a stranger just moments ago, had betrayed my kindness, exploiting my goodwill for his sinister agenda."How dare you, Philip!" I spat, my voice laced with indignation. "How could you

    LYZAI made my way towards the meeting place with Dante, when a voice called out my name, causing me to turn in surprise. My eyes fell upon an elderly man standing a few feet away. His weathered appearance spoke volumes of a life filled with hardship and struggle. Yet, despite his disheveled appearance, I held no judgment, for I had learned never to judge someone based on their external circumstances.Approaching the old man with genuine curiosity, I offered a polite smile. “Hi! Is there something I could help you with, sir?” His eyes crinkled with a hint of warmth as he returned my smile. He mentioned feeling honored to see me in person and spoke of hearing favorable compliments about me within the Black Pearl Pack. “By the way, my name is Philip. I’m also a member of Black Pearl Pack. But my wife and I are just omegas,” Curiosity piqued, I couldn't help but wonder what he wanted from me. Was it merely a chance encounter, or did he harbor ulterior motives beneath his humble facade?

    LYZAI am about to meet Dante today. The anticipation mingled with a deep sense of contentment within me. The smile on my face seemed to reflect the happiness that bloomed in my heart. Everything was falling into place, and I couldn't help but be grateful for the events that had unfolded."What if I tell Dante the truth?" I whispered to myself, my voice barely audible above the soft hum of the car's engine. The thought played like a gentle melody in my mind, twirling with uncertainty and hope. The mission given to me by the Moon Goddess had been accomplished, and justice had been served for Anna.But as I pondered revealing my true purpose to Dante, conflicting emotions tugged at my heart. How could I possibly leave this life, this newfound connection, behind? My heart had intertwined itself with Dante's, beating in unison, and the mere thought of walking away left an ache within me.Lost in my thoughts, the passing scenery blurred outside the car window, mirroring the whirlwind of em

    Darlyn's gaze shifted from Philip to the elderly woman standing before him, and a wave of revulsion washed over her. Estella White, Anna's mother, bore a striking resemblance to a wicked stepmother straight out of a fairy tale. Her disheveled appearance and haggard expression only intensified Darlyn's disdain.Darlyn cleared her throat, preparing to introduce herself, but before she could utter a word, Estella's eyes widened with recognition. The woman's arms shot out, encircling Darlyn in a tight embrace. Darlyn recoiled, a mixture of disgust and irritation twisting her features."What are you doing, old woman?" Darlyn snapped, her voice laced with contempt. "A pathetic creature like you shouldn't dare to touch someone of my stature!”Estella's grip tightened, oblivious to Darlyn's disdain. A flicker of longing danced in her eyes, a deep-seated desire hidden behind her worn exterior. Darlyn couldn't fathom what could possibly draw such a woman to her, nor did she care to find out.Es

    Darlyn stepped into the bleak streets of Ovion City, a place devoid of life and hope. The air hung heavy with the scent of despair, mingling with the lingering stench of poverty and desperation. Dilapidated buildings lined the worn-out roads, their weary facades telling stories of struggles and shattered dreams. The city seemed frozen in time, a forgotten corner where rogues and outcasts sought refuge.As she approached the White's home, the sight before her was even more dismal than she had anticipated. The house stood in disarray, its weathered walls and crumbling structure bearing witness to years of neglect. The roof sagged under the weight of time, its once vibrant color faded to a muted gray. The gate, rusted and crooked, gave an eerie impression of a barricade warding off unwanted visitors.A wave of revulsion washed over Darlyn as she stepped closer, the putrid odor assaulting her senses. She wrinkled her nose in disdain, but her determination remained unwavering. This rundown
