Anna's POV At the end of the court session, I took my leave after seeking permission from Alpha Jasper. Right now, I was in the middle of the chamber, my hands wrapped around my body as I reviewed everything that had happened that day. If I was told that Alpha Noah would stoop so low and connive with Selena to make a mockery of me which would have led to my death if not for Alpha Jasper's meticulous thinking, I wouldn't have believed. His pack would have been the last place I would have run to for shelter. Suddenly, my head began to bang because of my excessive thinking and I slowly made my way towards the bed, my eyes slightly shut as I winced in pain. Instead of resting my aching head, I began to review the so-called fun scene Alpha Jasper had told me about earlier which had turned out to be something else. Still trying to put an end to the splitting headache that was threatening to split my head into two halves, the door creaked open and Alpha Jasper stepped in. For a
Alpha Jasper's POV Despite knowing how Anna was going to react to what I was about to show to her, that didn't stop me from pulling her to the punishment ground. Up until this moment, I regretted my actions of not passing the verdict on Selena myself. If I had, she would have been in the dungeon, gnashing her teeth and howling like the other wolves who were serving their punishment. Until it was nightfall and time for bed, Anna didn't say anything to me. She kept to herself and I knew it was the aftermath of what she had seen. Certain that she was now asleep, I swung my feet off the bed and with my robes off and barefooted, I made my way towards the door. Yanking it open, I took one last look at her sleeping figure before I got out and then shut the door slowly. With my hands tucked inside my pocket, I walked down the hallway until I got to the eighth door and then pushed it in. Immediately, everyone halted in their activities as I made my way inside the room. Getting t
Maya's POV It has been three days now since the ugly event, yet I was unable to get my mind off it. Each time I close my eyes to sleep, it comes travelling down my memory lane. Whenever I didn't have anything to do, it popped up again;, it didn't want to leave me alone, and it was frustrating. Still fuelling with anger and embarrassment that Alpha Noah had caused me, I haven't been able to look Anna in the eye, not to talk of going to see her. No one needed to tell me that my presence was going to bring back memories, and I hated it. Pulling my legs to my face, I fell on the floor with my head buried in between my thighs. It was hard trying to contain my emotion but I had to try. I was going to give it a go because I needed to be strong for Anna's sake. She was weak and she needed me to be by her side at all times. Snapping my head upwards suddenly, my mind went to Selena. Because of the resentment I was brewing towards Alpha Noah, I had failed to remember the mastermind of
Anna's POV Despite the fact that it had been days since the ugly incident, it had been hard for me to forget about everything that had happened. Each time I thought about it, I always shuddered and it was as if the next minute I was going to pass out with fright. To make matters worse, the whole Moonlight Pack was talking about it. Everyone had their version of the story and their drawn-out conclusion, too. Even when it was blaring clear that it was a conspiracy all along, some pack members didn't believe I was innocent. I wouldn't blame them, though, because I wasn't expecting everyone to believe the tale, especially those who wanted to kill me so badly. Now resting against the cold wall, I dug my finger into my hair and then tugged it for a while before I started combing through it with my fingers. Because of the news that was all over the pack, Alpha Jasper had ordered me to remain in the chamber. I get that he was trying to protect me from those malicious people but tha
Chapter 73 Anna's POV Instead of Alpha Noah leaving after chiding him, he stood there staring at me with his lips pursed. The more I looked at him, the angrier I became. He had this look on his face that made me want to hit him so badly. Whoever told him that if he persisted with his chase I was going to succumb must have been trying to fool him because no matter what he did, I wasn't going to forgive his defamation. If only I had known that it was going to turn out this way, I wouldn't have rescued him. I did that because of a pure heart and not because of any form of connection. “Why are you doing this to me, Anna? I have tried to show you that instead of obsession, it's love that I feel towards you, but instead, you push it back in my face,” he said, trying to touch my arm. “Stop it.” I snapped at him. Pissed off, I dug my hand into my hair and then stormed off, anger surging through my veins. As I made my way back into my chambers, I wondered how he had managed to sne
Alpha Jasper's POV When the news came to me that Alpha Noah was in the pack, I knew at once that he had come for Anna. Knowing fully well that he was going to return someday, I had asked my guards not to accost him whenever he came around. As for Lilian, I had punished her because she failed to hold Anna back. Maybe it was because of my leniency, so I decided to correct it. This time around, I was going to ensure I was firm with my words so that everyone would know their place and be up and doing. Walking down the hallway after leaving the chambers, I motioned to a guard who quickly hurried towards me but before I could pass my message across, Beta Jacob came along. Waving him off, I gestured to Beta Jacob who quickly made his way towards me and with his head bowed, he said, “My lord.” Still walking down the hallway, I said, “Gather all the beta, gamma and omega at once. We should meet in the courtroom.” “Yes, my lord.” He replied and then went ahead to carry the instruct
Selena's POV Ever since Maya confronted me openly, I haven't been myself since it was the first time that something of this sort was happening. Though embarrassed by the scenario, I wasn't scared by her threat. If she thinks she can protect Anna from me, then she must be a pathetic dreamer. For a few days now, after the incident, I have been by myself, strategizing my next course of action. At some point, I was discouraged because I wouldn't get to see Alpha Jasper because of Anna's request, but that didn't deter me. Leaning against the cold wall, I shut my eyes tightly, reviewing all the different strategies I had listed out but none was good enough. If Maya wasn't here, I know for sure that I would be able to launch my plan effortlessly but with her presence, it was going to be tough. “I need something more concrete. Something that will throw everyone off balance “ I muttered, twirling my hair in between my fingers. After a long while of racking my brain, I pushed mysel
Alpha Noah's POV After the courtroom saga and how Maya had treated me with disdain on my way out, I decided to give up on the fight and lie low. My decision didn't last for long because, with each passing minute, I would start to imagine Anna in my arms. She was all I lived for and letting her go just like that wasn't easy for me. Resting my head against my study table, I tried to forget about the whole thing and focus on the scroll in front of me but each time I decide to do so, her face will appear in my head, clouding my senses. Unable to bear it anymore, I pushed the chair backwards and then stepped out of my chambers only to be accosted by Beta Liam who was directly behind the door. “My lord, where are you headed?” He asked. “Moonlight pack.” I snapped at him, brushing him off my path. “What?” He gasped with his hands over his mouth. Ignoring him, I continued walking towards the exit when he suddenly appeared in front of me. He tried to catch his breath before spea
