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
Jeremy’s Pov.I scratched my head in confusion. The girl was smarter than I thought, she had figured out that I had no intention of telling her what she wanted to know and that I intended to leave the mansion immediately she went in to do any other thing.The way she was staring at me told me I had no way around this, it was either I told her what she wanted, no matter how small or she would hate me forever and very certainly decapitate my head from my body when she’s coronated as Luna.She already had that fierce and intimidating look of a Luna, almost exactly like that of the former Luna. Their uncanny resemblance is something that is in no way ordinary although to me I see a lot of difference in the both of them and if you ask me, I do not think that she is the reborn mate of the Alpha.She is just a kid, a human, or at most a hybrid because she smells funny. I wish I could tell her to run away, to leave here as soon as she can, to where no werewolf especially Hunter will ever find
Annabel’s Pov.“Erm… are you okay, Anna?” He stammered, the shock in his voice surprising me and that was when I noticed the wetness on my face.I coughed, embarrassed at myself for crying and shedding tears for something that happened long ago but I couldn’t help myself, the story of her death was just so touching and felt so real that I could not help the tears falling from my eyes.“Y-yes, don’t mind me, please continue.” I urged while cleaning the tears in my eyes.“I don’t think there will be any need for that because Hunter is already here, he’ll take over from me.” He said while getting up to leave. “Don’t take his actions to heart Anna, he was just scared of losing someone he cared about again.I wasn’t even listening to what he was saying as my mind was occupied with fear, hate, and curiosity about his arrival. My body had immediately gone tensed when I heard his name and the sound of his cars driving into the mansion.I don't want to see him this night, especially not in thi
Annabel’s Pov.The displeasure and urge to assert his authority on me when I yet again refused to allow him carry me out of the car when we had arrived at the mansion was written all over his face but he took a deep breath and stepped to the side so I could get down on my own.“Can I at least help you walk? You are still too weak to move on your own.” He pleaded, his hands moving fast to rest on my waist like I was some precious egg that could break any second.“No. I’m good.” I snapped while forcefully taking his hands off me.He said nothing, quietly walking ahead of me to widen the already open doors before stepping to the side to watch me limb past the door with a scowl on his face.“I’ll walk you to your room.”“Thanks, but I’d prefer to go in myself,” I interjected without looking at him.From the way his hands were curled into a tight fist and from the loud way he was breathing it was obvious that he was beyond pissed and was probably at the point of cutting his pretend care in
Annable’s Pov.I huffed in annoyance, the determination to go against his controlling ass firm in my mind but I had to take another approach that would not leave me homeless and starving on the street by tomorrow. I still have to keep in mind that after what I caused today, Mr. Wesley and his wife will never take me back. They are more likely to lock me up in prison.He looks very angry and I can’t seem to get why, it’s surprising because rather than him being upset when I told him I would be leaving his house he was remorseful and was bent on making me stay but now that I am bringing up the issue of going back to school he wants to start a fight. How very confusing…I waited for the scowl on his face to go off and for him to get a bit more control of himself before I would begin to dramatically make him change his mind. When he stopped stomping his foot and panting aggressively like a lion I knew it was time.“You know what? I should leave now because it is obvious that you’ll never
Annabel’s Pov.“Miss? Miss?”“Please open up, the doctor is here to see you.” The person said with some quiet knocks on the door.“Miss? You have to open up.” I turned to the opposite side of the bed, hoping that whoever had the loud voice would shut the hell up and leave me alone to sleep, but the person just got louder.“Please miss, Master ordered that we make sure the doctor checks up on you immediately he arrives.”“Please, go away, I’ll come down soon.” I managed to say with sleepy eyes but the knock did not stop neither did the person shut up.“I’m sorry, Miss, but I cannot go away, it was the master’s order that you get checked immediately the doctor arrives.”I hissed in annoyance, from the frustration the maid was putting me into and from the laziness of my body.I willed my body to get up just as always like when I was still with the Wesleys but I couldn’t, it felt like the entire bones in my body had been broken into unrecognizable pieces and it was impossible to get them
Annabel’s Pov.“And who told you that you could touch what belongs to me without checking with me first? Doc?!”My eyes shot up and I sprung up from the bed with a rush that made the minor headache I was feeling intensify.The doctor did not look the least bit surprised or threatened which was odd because everyone I had seen this man yell at was usually in shock or cowarding in fear. The two men just kept staring at each other with an indifferent cold glare.I cannot tell if it is from their stares but the temperature in the room had suddenly changed, it was like I was under the hottest sun while in Antarctica, the room was fiery hot and extremely cold at the same time.I quietly cleared my throat afraid of turning whatever tension they were having to myself. I waited, watching from one person to another checking the expression on each of the men’s faces, confused by what they were doing but curious as to what was about to happen.Unable to endure choking silence between the two men a
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
