Elijah's Pov.

I pushed open my room's door for the upteenth time this evening, heading straight to each of my brothers rooms to question them about the matter again. As I match worriedIy to their rooms with my heart racing in fear and uncertainty, I can't help but wonder why I am the only one bothered about something so serious even though I am the only injured person in the house!

I can't wrap my head around it, it's not like something like this usually happens, so why are they so chill about it? It feels like I am overreacting over a trivial matter when I honestly am not. Since I have known her from when she was a toddler, this is the very first time I witnessed a situation where she is not back home by now. It's almost 8 fucking p.m.! Where the hell is she and why the fuck is she not back yet?.

I pushed open Ben's door and got it in, he was playing video games as usual and when he saw me, he flashed me a smile and threw the game pad for me to join in but I instead walked to the soc

    Annabel's Pov.I kept looking at myself in the mirror while the maids stood by the side with smiles on their faces. "You look very beautiful, Ma'am." One of them said, she was the most cheerful and warm person of all the maids in the mansion."I do actually, Wow..." I gasped, it was hard to believe that I was looking back at myself through the mirror. Was this really me? Never in my 17years of life have I looked anything close to what I am looking like now. I sniffed back my tears as I twirled for the umpteenth time in the gorgeous dress that fitted my body and accentuated my curves like we were made for each other.Everything I had on looked splendid, from the dress, which was a black V.neck tightly fitted dress with a long slit that was reaching my middle thighs to the shoes which according to the maids was an Aspen mule heel, my hair was done in a low twisted two sided buns that left my neck bare and my makeup was lightly done which made me look more refined, the dress was paired w

    Hunter's Pov."My Anna! My Mate..."Seiko purred in my head when he saw her walking down the stairs. He was awestruck and so was I, she looked so ethereal, so beautiful, she was like the light that was slowly coming into my life."Ours," I said inaudibly as she got closer. Seiko was jumping excitedly in my head as our mate drew nearer and I couldn't blame him, I was barely holding myself in check, I wanted to rush to her and pull her into my embrace holding her tightly until the fear in my heart subsided.Watching her walk down shakily was bringing back locked-up memories, bittersweet memories, memories that had tormented me day and night but for her I was willing to go through them again, I had no choice anyway, not when they literally had the same face. I can't stop myself from remembering that night, the night of our mating ceremony, she looked just like this, perfect yet shy and insecure.She was forced to walk on heels that day by her Mom and it had been a funny scene to me when I

    Annabel's Pov.The car came to a halt when we arrived at a mansion that was slightly bigger than that of the arrogant man's own, the spacious compound was littered with various types of luxurious vehicles in different shapes and sizes. My mouth stubbornly hanged open as I stared shamelessly at the magnificent building through the car's window, watching the beautiful lights and people laughing to themselves as they sipped on the wines given to them by the waiters. "So this is how the rich people live? Buoyant and extravagant, always jumping from one outing to another, spending money like there is no tomorrow? Oh, what I wouldn't give to live like this, go to high-class parties and rub shoulders with the well-to-do in society." I thought dreamily while still staring at the illuminating house filled with ambiance, but my daydream was cut short by the outstretched hand of Hunter."Come on, we have to get in." He said in his usual stoic look. From his not so friendly appearance, it was ev

    Hunter’s Pov.I could feel her uneasiness as we entered the hall, all eyes were on us or should I say on her because damn! She looked breathtaking in her beautiful black dress and I wondered why she couldn’t see how glorious she was. Even when she was in her ruffled uniform, untidy hair, and worn-out school bag, she still looked like a Princess but now she looked just like a Goddess.The clothes she has on just heightens her beauty and bring out the exquisite look she has always had inside her, she doesn’t know how very lucky and on top of the world I feel to have her in my arms. I want to show her off and claim ownership of her in front of everyone present, to bask in their envy and jealous gossip but I know that she is not mine yet, there are a lot of things I want to be certain of before I can be possessive of her the way I want.And we came here just for that but just as I had suspected, there are a lot more playthings in attendance that I have to put in their place and show them

    Annabel’s Pov.I tried to hide my face with my purse when I saw her approaching but it was of no use because she and the man I think is her father were directly walking toward us. They seemed to know Hunter on a personal level because of the way Felicia was grinning and blushing when they reached where we were standing.She looked very beautiful and elegant in her strapless red dress and stilettos and I was certain that every man in the building was mesmerized by her beauty, I would too if I wasn’t from a not so presentable background and if she wasn’t also a menace to every outcast in Crest-vile Academy.I have never seen Felicia this happy before, although she is normally always smiling and causing havoc or hosting parties with her minions but this is the very first time I will be seeing her genuinely happy, she looked so in love and satisfied with seeing the jerk that I immediately wanted to leave the area so she could have him to herself.I was more than happy when he removed his

    Hunter’s Pov.I could feel her sadness when I called Alpha Tristan’s daughter mate. I could also feel the intense emotion flood her heart and it felt like I was the one physically feeling her pain. It was obvious that she was feeling confused and unwanted and that was why I said and did nothing when she quietly left, I understood that she needed time to herself to vent and calm down. Plus, I couldn’t comfort her nor explain anything to her because of the two people who also needed an explanation as to why I had ghosted them for so long.I was caught in a hard spot, I was basically in between a rock and the deep blue sea…I had no choice as no matter what I did, someone would still get hurt. And as much as it pains me that she had to be the one to take the brunt of my miscalculation, it was all for the better.Alpha Tristan is one ally I need to make my interest in becoming the Werewolf king a reality and so, I cannot afford to piss him off, just yet.I never planned for this night to

    Hunter’s Pov.I choked, punched, and clawed at the bastard, enjoying as his screams and pleads for mercy were slowly fading as he began to feel the life leaving his body but I was only beginning with him so I wouldn’t be allowing him die yet, that would be letting him off easily.He has to suffer very much for not only touching but also hurting what belonged to me, I will deal with him until he begins to beg for death but it won’t be coming to him until I am ready to take him there myself.I loosened the hold I had on his neck and roughly pulled him up but not without first kicking him painfully in his stomach stopping only when he was weakly coughing out blood. “You will never get to hurt another female in your life and moreso, you will never touch what belongs to me, unless in heaven if at all you get to go there.” I growled in his face before I flung him to the ground again which caused him to spit out more blood.My rage had still not quenched, I still wanted to hurt him more bef

    Annabel’s Pov. “Take her home, Jeremy!” That was what I heard him say to his friend when I asked for him to be the one to take me home. Surprisingly, every other thing I knew they were talking about was going on inaudibly or telepathically, if at all that’s real but it felt like he purposely said this one out and loudly too so I would hear it and know that he cared nothing about my feelings. The intense fear that had been coursing through me had gone down a little when he stopped hurting Mr. Wesley but I was still scrounging on the ground unwilling to look up to see what was now going on that he had stopped hitting the man, different thoughts filled me like whether Mr.Wesley was still breathing or if he had been beaten to death. I do not know how all his guards and security personnel who were around when he was harassing me had suddenly vanished into thin air, but I am more than certain that he has enough power to bring terror to the Jerk’s doorsteps, and I worry for him because Mr

    Hunter’s Pov.My heart was beating erratically as I waited for her response. I don’t know why she is taking so long to free me from this turmoil I have been thrown into. Maybe she is enjoying me being paranoid and shaking like a leaf, it’s obvious from that smirk on her face.“Anna!” I whined, my lips pouted and all.“When will you answer me!” I demanded stubbornly but she just treated me like a joke and began laughing in my face. If she wasn’t so cute while doing it, I would long have caged her under me, let's see if she would still be laughing then.“Oh, it’s funny to you, right? My feelings are funny to you?” I questioned her in pretend anger.“No, no no, that’s not it. It’s just how your face… won’t you pick your call?”I looked down at my pockets, and that was when I realized my phone had been vibrating. How did her ears pick that up quickly when even I who had a wolf hadn’t even noticed it yet?“Hey! Don’t blame me for this, you were the one enchanted with our mate’s laugh that

    Back at the Luxury Penthouse Hunter’s Pov. “Thank you for the meal,” Anna said while getting up from her chair. “Only with words?” I replied with a mischievous smirk which she didn’t react to because she was staring at her empty plate rather than at me. “Are you full? Should I ask them to bring more?” I asked when I noticed how dull her eyes seemed even after eating which is very unlike her. “No!” she snapped “I’m not a glutton.” She said with an eye roll. “I never said you are, silly.” She stared at me for a while before her face broke into a small smile. “So? Are you really gonna be thanking me with only words?” I pressed on. She had to start getting used to this side of me. “What do you mean? How else should I thank you?” she asked with furrowed brows and suspicious eyes. I pushed my plate aside and placed my ankle on the table while holding my chin in a feigned thinking posture. “Come closer, my throat hurts so I can’t talk loud.” Her suspicious eyes narrowed at me and for

    Hunter's Pov. "Will just anybody know you have a tiny pink mark just below your breast? Or that you have a little cute birthmark on your lower back very close to your..." Her hands cupped my mouth just before I could finish my sentence. The shy and surprised look on her face left me smirking satisfactorily. I wouldn't have to worry so much about convincing her to come home with me. But I was still very mad at her though. How dare she refer to me as just anybody?! Even though I understand her confusion as I am also as confused as she is about what is going on, but still, she had no right to refer to me as such! I still can't wrap my head around how she looks and talks like my Anna, I never thought such would be possible, although I once heard a story of something similar that happened to a werewolf who lost his mate but I never thought it was real or that it would ever happen to me. Staring at the embarrassed blush on her rosy cheeks brought back so many locked-up memories, so many

    Hunter’s Pov.“Mr. Hunter Garfield!” I shook his outstretched hand, while my eyes simultaneously analysed the members of his committee. It was a committee of five cold men. “It’s a pleasure to meet you again,” he said with a wide smile.“Likewise, Mr. Ray,” I replied in the tone I used during every investment meeting. It was both intimidating and cold.“Please have your seat and we can begin.” Mr. Ray, the head of the group announced. The doors were immediately shut with all the guards out. Only the people related to the business arrangement were left in the conference room.Even with all the directed doubtful eyes of the investors focused on me, I still radiated with confidence and power. I wasn’t begging them to invest in my new hotel which was in the best strategic site possible, so if they for any reason decide to refuse my mouth-watering offer, I have several more people who would die to be a part of it because they see the skyrocketed profits their investments would definitely b

    Annable’s Pov.7:40 am, I am prepared and waiting for my boss to climb downstairs with a cold glare in his eyes. How I managed to finish twenty minutes before the time is still very surprising because I had given up hope of ever making it in time. Thankfully, I made good use of the free minutes to gobble up some omelets and orange juice before I heard his footsteps approaching.I straightened up when I saw Hunter’s tall figure come into view as he began to climb down the stairs, he looked very handsome and charismatic in his brown suit and surprisingly his face carried a glow that I don’t remember ever seeing before. It was like he was trying to elevate his usual boring look by unbuttoning the first two buttons of his milk shirt and even going as far as changing his signature hairstyle.“Good morning, Master,” the maids who were still busy with their clean-ups chorused. He hummed in reply.“Would you like us to prepare your breakfast, Sir?” The butler asked in his usual formal tone.“

    Annable’s Pov. Washing my dirty plates after fighting with Mira and some of the other maids who wanted to do my dishes for me like I was handicapped, I kissed every single one of them goodbye and headed upstairs to my room to crosscheck the emails Hunter's secretary, Emma had sent me since this morning when I was still in school. In the Emails, she had listed out a bunch of documents I needed to grab from her office and Hunter’s before I and Hunter flew out to whatever state or country his business trip was being held in. And although after eating the delicious dish of catfish pepper-soup served alongside mashed ripe plantains and pineapple juice Hunter served me, added with the fact that I had a stressful day at school, I was just so exhausted and lazy that I wanted to straight up fall asleep and wake up the next morning. But just so I don’t get found wanting by Hunter tomorrow morning, I decided to ignore my tired bones and just write everything Emma had sent me in a small jotter

    Annable’s Pov.“By the way, are you done making your call?”“What call?” I feigned ignorance with a pissed expression on my face.“The call you were making to Elijah a few seconds ago?” he chuckled, “no need to lie about it, I heard you,” he added in a relaxed posture.How can he be this cool with the fact that I was on the phone with Elijah? Did someone mess with the screws in his head at the place he had traveled to or was this a trap to get me into talking?” I kept asking myself when his normal accusatory and destructive behaviour was not forthcoming. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, and I am not hungry so you should do me a favour by carrying your food along with you when you get out!” I said in a bitter tone.“Is all this anger because of little Felicia?” he asked nonchalantly like his action was nothing to get offended about. Talk about gaslighting.“It’s not, so you can get out your highness.” I fired but he brushed it off and smirked.“Your jealous? Wow! You don’t kno

    Annable’s Pov.“Anna? You don’t know how glad I am to hear your voice” His smooth voice screeched happily. “How are you? I hope there is nothing wrong and my brothers are not causing you problems?” he asked all at once, his deep voice filled with worry.“No… far from that, there’ve been amazing, honestly. They even helped me out from a bad situation.” I said with a smile, as my heart fluttered from how sweet Jeffery and Benjamin had been to me in school today. How fearless they had been to shutdown Felicia and ignore her like she meant nothing.It made me feel a new sense of love for the boys, Jeffery and Ben now had a special place in my heart and suddenly, irrespective of how they had treated me like crap in the past, I now loved them like my brothers. Because of how thankful and elated I had felt at their actions, I checked for them after school to thank them again for being there for me when I needed help, but just as always, they had already gone home before the final bell for

    Annabel’s Pov.I was in a sad mood when I arrived at the mansion from school. I didn’t even want to talk to anyone, I just wanted to get to my room, shower, and go to bed. And that was why when some of the maids caught me trying to sneak into my room, I had told them a lie about having excruciating headaches which was not all a lie as the slap Felicia had landed on my cheek had given me a minor headache that seemed to be growing.Thankfully, they all believed it and were very sorry for me, promising to bring me snacks and my food up to my room. But my plans of having alone time were disrupted when the dearest butler called my attention to the fact that the master had requested to see me in the kitchen of all places.“Now? Can’t I come later and why does he want to see me in the kitchen?” I murmured to the butler, but he just shook his head, indicating that it couldn’t be kept till later.“The master’s words are final.” The butler replied in his usual serious tone.I rolled my eyes and
