Annabel’s Pov.

The Mercedes-Benz finally pulled over at the school’s driveway and I hurriedly reached for the expensive brown coloured multipurpose handbag which had in it some beautiful sets of hardcover notes, customized pens that had my name fancily written all around it, a water bottle, some snacks, a mini electric fan, flannel and a wallet filled with cash.

There was also a similar but smaller bag beside me which smelled heavenly, I know it’s filled with varieties of meals that I honestly and unashamedly can’t wait to devour during lunchtime.

I still feel embarrassed that I accepted all the new things he gave to me for school knowing fully well that he would still use them against me shortly but who cares, right? I know I said I would rather be starved than humiliated but come on! If I ever want to be able to live on my own without having to take shits from all the pricks the universe has forced on me, I have to start making arrangements for that and this stack of cash he willing

    Elijah was done teaching his third class as a substitute teacher and he was heading to the other building of the school where the high schoolers learned. He needed to see his brothers to know how they were doing; he could take it even though it was breaking him bit by bit as the minutes turned to hours and the hours turned to days but he wasn’t sure his brothers could.The news of their parent's disappearance was a hard pill for him and his brothers to swallow and with every day that went by, the realization that something must have happened to them was becoming clearer and clearer to each of them.He had contacted all his father’s underdogs that handled his illegal activities to search for his parents and bring them back… both dead and alive, he had also gone the legal means by alerting all the security operatives both the ones loyal to his dad and the ones who weren’t about his parent’s disappearance but all that did nothing in getting his parent’s back to them.It was like they ha

    Annabel’s Pov.“Let go of me!” I yelled at the sobbing man. What the hell had come over him that was making him behave this ridiculous? “I am not going to fall into the trap I clearly know you are plotting with your parents!”He chuckled dryly at my words, his hand still around my waist and his head resting on my back. “I wish that was the case. I wish I was plotting this with my parents to get you back, Anna.”I wriggled free from his hold and turned around to stare fixedly at him. He looked haggard and unkept from the usual Elijah who was the prince of Siver Crest Academy before he left for college, there were bags under his eyes and his normally properly styled hair was disheveled. He looked like someone going through a hard time which was odd because the Elijah I knew was hardly bothered by anything. His parents usually got everything fixed for him before it became an issue.“What do you mean by that, Elijah,” I asked him, calling his name in the process, an act that was forbidden

    Elijah’s Pov.Folding some of my clothes into the bag I usually use during vacations, I can’t help but smile and feel satisfied at how most of today had ended, although it was tasking and time-consuming because then I had to put my leaving till midnight but still, I am more than ecstatic that I was able to joggle through both activities successfully.As of now, those two groups of people, my brothers and Anna are the only thing I have right now, until mother and father are found. No matter how tough and draining all I will be doing this week or more is going to be, I will be unrelenting and unbreakable till my goal is achieved.The fact that I was able to apologize to Anna and get her to talk to me with a smile on her face was all I needed to refuel my energy and determination. I will definitely be sleeping tonight with a wide smile on my face because the woman I am in love with has finally forgiven me and you can bet that as soon as I am back from this dangerous and uncertain trip, I

    Annabel’s Pov.The drive back from school was silent and uncomfortable because of the other person in the car with me. I couldn’t stop wondering why he was the one driving me back home when he had already assigned a driver to bring and take me from school every day. He loved to act like he hated me yet he won’t stop being around me like a fly.I stole a few glances at him, watching how his hand held on tightly to the steering wheel and how his face was as stoic as ever. My thoughts drifted to Elijah, particularly what he said about his parents missing on the same day they both attended the event.My eyes averted from the car’s window to his face again as different thoughts rummaged through my head, like where Mr. Wesley and his wife Madam Victoria could be at the moment. No matter how much hatred I still hold in my heart for them, I can’t just dismiss the fact that they could be in a life-and-death situation.I want to believe that they are somewhere plotting how to make a comeback on

    Hunter’s Pov.I sighed and rubbed my palm over my face as I got comfortable on the couch in my bedroom. The guilt of my behaviour was eating deep at me when I remembered how much of an asshole I had been to Anna some minutes ago.“I regret my actions, Seiko. So, spare me the lectures.” I yelled at my wolf when he wouldn’t stop whining about how much sadness I was causing our mate.“Go apologize to her!” he commanded in a snappy tone.“No. I am not doing that.” I retorted before getting up from the couch to grab a glass of whisky while loosening my tie.“Why do you love to make our mate unhappy, Hunter? Why don’t you ever try to be with her like we were with our late mate?” he probed. I could feel his sadness but what happened today was not entirely my fault.I downed the drink, practically threw the glass cup on the table, and then proceeded to take off my suit and shirt. “Because she is nothing like our late mate. Don’t blame this on me when it is not entirely my fault, Seiko.” I rep

    Annabel’s Pov.“That went surprisingly better than I imagined,” I said to myself while exhaling and clutching my erratically beating heart. Who knew Hunter could be easily fooled? It’s funny how he believed I, Annabel would cook and bake out of the goodness of my heart after he had been nothing but an asshole from the day I stepped my foot into his mansion.I covered my mouth to muffle the new wave of chuckles that had erupted through me when I heard the sound of the rushing water coming from the bathroom. It seems the Jerk has started to trust and feel comfortable around me. I just have to keep up this good girl charade when I am with him and he won’t give me trouble.How exciting!Confirming that he was still having his bath, I took my time to check out his master’s bedroom which was very contrary to mine. I didn’t have the chance to look at this room as much as I wanted because of the shame and anger coursing through me this morning when I woke up on his bed.But now I know better

    Annabel’s Pov.He sighed with a smile, “You know, my late mate, Anna used to make this every day.” There we go! For a minute I thought he had finally changed, it’s good he hasn’t.“I know I shouldn’t be talking about her but…I can’t help it sometimes” he went silent for a while, just staring deeply at me, like a man carrying a lot of pain in his heart.“You guys look so alike, in almost everything, although she was way more stubborn and hotheaded.” He chuckled. “She loved baking things like this for little pups but whenever I asked her to do the same for me her husband, she’d hit me and totally ignore me, claiming I had hands to do them myself. She only ever did things like this for me when I least expected it or even deserved it.”I continued to listen while my heart tightened in jealousy whenever his eyes glistered as he spoke about her. He seemed lost in thought even as he stared directly at me while talking, his tone, eyes, and, body language all indicated that she held the key to

    Annable’s Pov.“Why would you say that, is everything alright?” I asked in worry but he shook his head like there was nothing wrong but his expression was saying a completely different thing.“Yeah, everything is fine… I know I can handle it. I just wish that sometimes she was here with me; I know what happened was my fault but I wish I didn’t have to spend all those years without her in them. I wish…” he exhaled, then roughly grabbed a fistful of his hair. “If only I had been stronger to protect the people I love, my Pack wouldn’t have been as bland as it is now.”He flung away the drop of tears that had fallen to his cheek before flashing me a small fake smile. “Gosh! I don’t know why I am suddenly acting like this. You must think I am both crazy and a pussy right?” he asked with a smirk while relaxing his back on the couch, his eyes never leaving mine.“No! Of course not.” I countered with a concerned voice. “What you went through was traumatic, no one should go through that. So,

    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
