Anna's POV Fighting against the force that was trying to take me back to Alpha Jasper took all that I had in me but I wasn't going to give in. It was better I left rather that staying in a place where I wasn't needed, where I wasn't loved and where I was used as an object of ridicule. Immediately I stepped out of the pack house, I took one last look at the magnificent building I had been confined in for several months and then let out a low sigh. Turning towards Maya whom had always been by my side, I took her hand into my mine, “You'll be fine.” I said, my lips pressed into a thin line. “Fine? I should be the one saying that you you not the other way around.” She argued. Despite my tired state, the look on her face made me to chuckle a bit. Now holding her shoulders, I pulled her to myself and then hugged her tightly as if it was going to be our last hug. After a few more minutes, I pulled away. “Let's go. We need to get out of the pack before nightfall. I don't want to ha
Alpha Jasper's POV Still standing behind the mirror with the bottle of liquor in my hand, I was staring at my reflection and at intervals, looking at the door, just in case it will fling open and Anna will return to me but it seems like it wasn't going to happen. Even though I was tired of standing, I still maintained my position, waiting for her to walk through the door and come into my arms. If only she had allowed me to speak, if only she didn't let anger override her senses, it would have been a different narrative entirely but that wasn't the case. Taking another swing from my bottle, I washed my mouth with the liquid before gulping the content and filling my mouth with another gulp. Shutting my eyes tightly, I allowed the burning sensation of the liquid to take over my body before snapping my eyes open. Now leaning against the cold wall, I dug my hand into my hair and then began to comb through it, my thoughts on the good times I had shared with Anna. Brutal, ruthless
Alpha Jasper's POV One month later… Several times I was tempted to go bring Anna but I always held back from doing so. I believed that she was yet to get over what had happened and by the time she had fully recovered from it, she would return to me. Trying not to be too bothered with her absence, I immersed myself into drinking to stupor. Nothing matters to me anymore, not even trying to look presentable. My hair was overgrown and I stinked from not having a bath but they were the least of my worries now. Several times Beta Jacob had tried to pull me out from my shell but he always bore the brunt of my anger. Each time he tried he always got a scar or two but that wasn't enough to push him away. The pack members were murmuring about my inactiveness, the elders were also running my mouths like broken taps, still yet, I was unmoved by it all. Digging my hand into my hair, I tugged on it for a while before taking a swing from the bottle in my hand. Now staring at the wall wher
Anna's POV It had been a month since I left the Moonlight Pack and to say I wasn't affected by it all, I was telling a lie. Here at Blackwood Pack, in order to not bring a repetition of what had happened to Alpha Noah, I stayed indoors or whenever I had to step out, I was fully clothed, and also had a large scarf over my face. Now leaning against the window pane, I was staring at the lush vegetation the Blackwood Pack was blessed with. Several times, my mind deviated from the beautiful sight only to start thinking about Alpha Jasper and the Moonlight Pack but I was always quick to shake the thoughts off my head. Unlike the first time, Alpha Jasper had not made a move to come find me. Seems like he was glad that I decided to leave but he had to put on a show so it would be like he didn't want it when it was actually what he wanted. “That wench.” I muttered biting my bottom lips as I stared at the huge tree that was a few meters away from the house. Selena must be celebrating
Anna's POV Now standing in front of the guards who had refused to allow Maya and I to get into our house, I folded my hands across my chest and then let out a deep sigh. They were guards from the Moonlight Pack and their presence here did nothing but to irk me. “What do you want from me? Are you here to embarrass me?” I snapped, my eyes darken as I glared angrily at the guards who had their head bowed to the ground as a form of respect. “Have you all gone mute? I asked a question, why am I not getting a response to it?” I yelled, stamping my feet against the ground as I glared angrily at them. At this point, Maya had to come in. Holding my shoulder she began to mutter words to calm me down but it didn't work. The only thing I could think of was that Alpha Jasper had ordered his guards to come drag me back to the pack so I would be a witness to the mating ceremony between him and Selena. That was the only thing I could think of at this moment and voicing out was the last thi
Alpha Jasper's POV After the meeting with the council of elders, I ordered Beta Jacob to summon the soldiers and that same day we went to war against the rogues. Despite my disheveled state, I fought like that was going to be my last fight, making sure I took down each rogue that crossed my path, ripping them apart mercilessly. All the anger I felt since Anna had deserted the pack, I channeled them into this fight. Just when I thought it was all over, a rogue jumped on me from behind and then began to scratch and bite at the same time. His grip was so strong on me that I couldn't even shake him off like I had always done and at this point, I decided to give up on everything. There was no point fighting anymore since I wasn't returning home to meet with my Luna, the only one true person I had loved. Totally vulnerable, I was lying on the ground with my eyes tightly shut as I awaited the rogue wolf to jump on me and rip me into pieces. When it seemed like the rogue had change
Selena's POV Each day I remembered the reason for my mother's death, my determination to sit on the throne would double. Mother clearly said she doesn't want her death to be in vain and I was going to make sure it wasn't even if it meant going to the extreme, I don't care. The issue I had now was, I had been restricted from going close to the palace. Even my father wasn't even helping matters. Several times, I had pleaded with him to speak with Alpha Jasper on my behalf but before I would even complete my request, he would be gone. I understand the fact that he was still mourning his wife and he was angry with me because she had died for my sake but at the same time I felt he was taking it too personally. He was the same person who always asked me never to relent whenever I set my heart into something but now he was the one who was going back on his words. The more I thought about this, the more angry I became. At this point, I needed someone to speak to but I had no friend
Alpha Jasper's POV The physician's showed no mercy as they continued to treat my wounds. The amount of pain raking through my body at that point, it was as if I was going to die the next minute. Here I was praying for death to come to me but seeing the way these physicians were working on my body, it was as if I had already died and it was an unpleasant feeling entirely. After what seems Like forever, they retreated and with a curt bow, began to file out of the room. “Thank you.” Anna called after them. Turning towards us, the head physician did a curt bow, “You don't need to thank us. We should be the one thanking you instead.” He said after which, stepped out of the room, leaving me and Anna behind. This had been the moment I had been waiting for ever since she walked through the door. Sucking my teeth because of the pain that was erupting through me, I pulled myself up and then pulled her from the chair she was sitting onto the bed. Making her rest her head against my
