(Anna)I took my time, investigating. Secretly heard people's conversations to learn where they stood on Noah and Ruby's tenure as Alpha and Luna.It wasn't difficult to conclude that most of the pack members weren't happy with how both of them were conducting pack business.To this date, the news that I had colluded with a rogue king to kill my father and his comrades was not confirmed because no one had found him.Also, the invitations which should have been extended to all the Alphas of Howler City were never sent out. This task had been given to Noah by my father. That's exactly the reason no one showed up when I came down for my party 6 years ago.It was showtime now as I had learnt that Alpha Lancelot, who was a former alpha of one of our neighbouring packs, Dark Moon Pack was having a birthday banquet. Alpha Lancelot was a close friend of my father's and had a standing in the Werewolf council.Noah and Ruby were attending to represent their packs and so was the mysterious Alpha
(Anna)I was perplexed and surprised at the same time to see that people who had known me since childhood were unable to recognise me but this kid who had only met me once was able to.Then I remembered how he had told his father my scent was unique to him.This must have been it."Ollie! You are here," I lovingly patted his head and he beamed back at me, still holding my leg and throwing me curious glances. Wondering why I was wearing a wig and lenses.Everyone around was stunned into silence watching the little guy being so affectionate. Someone murmured."Oliver doesn't even let anyone touch him and here he is holding her leg and calling her his wife. She must be close to the king.""Is she with the Alpha King?" Another whispered as all eyes were set on us.Ruby and Noah watched us sheepishly too. When one of the Alphas said, turning to Ruby."You should be ashamed of how you treated the King's guest.""You better apologise to the Alpha King," Alpha Lancelot asked Ruby in a stern v
(Anna)My job here was done. I had won the trust of most of the Alphas."Good night, Alpha Lancelot. I hope to meet you again." We shook hands."Likewise An, good night."I left the hotel feeling accomplished. I needed to buy myself an apartment and waited for Claude's message.As soon as he sent me the location of Mr Ludwig's current residence I smiled in satisfaction before going to bed.The next day I contacted a real estate agent so he could show me an apartment near the Vaium Sea. That's where Oliver's residence was. I had saved up ample money from missions to easily afford an apartment."You are a lucky lady, I have exactly the one you are looking for," the real estate agent gleefully said, opening the door of the apartment.It was a two-room fully furnished apartment built in a very modern design. The living room was spacious and it had an open kitchen. The windows of both bedrooms opened towards the sea, providing a picturesque view.The interior was all in pastel shades espec
(Asher)Anger surged through me like a live wire and my fists tightened in balls seeing her. I had come home from dealing with human clients all day. They had been a pain in the ass and found Oliver missing.One of my guards told me that Oliver was with that lady from the ship. I instantly ran here and now she was standing there looking all innocent.Who the hell she thought she was? I couldn't understand her deal.Changing her appearance to attend the party of Lancelot. Trying to cling to my son.And then there was this distinctive scent she possessed. A combination of cedarwood and lavender. Even Blaze raised his head and took a deep whiff every time she was in the vicinity.Her eyes were the clearest and deepest green as if the emeralds had been set up instead of her irises and that crimson of her hair resembled blood.Even in my angered state, I couldn't resist staring at her."I apologise, we met in the park and I invited Oliver over for some snacks. This is my apartment, luckily
After Oliver and his father had left, I changed.The man had totally ripped my dress and that soul-shattering kiss he gave me. No one had ever kissed me like that. It was like he wished to devour me.My skin still tingled from the after effects.Arrogant and broody down to the roots but man knew how to kiss. And I couldn't deny this attraction I felt for him. Every time he was in the vicinity I wanted to throw caution to the wind and jump his bones.It wasn't a sin to mix pleasure and work. The way he had reacted to me, I knew I could get in his pants.A girl had needs.I grabbed some dinner and tied up my apartment. Once I had settled, I fished out Noah's card and dialled his number.He picked up instantly, well that was easy."Hello! Alpha Carol speaking." His annoying voice came through."Hi! It's me, An from the party. I would like to meet you.""Hey! An, I am glad you called. Come tomorrow morning, I will wait for you."So desperate. Was he already tired of Ruby?"Meet you soon,"
(Anna)Ruby stared at me as if I was a ghost. The way her eyes kept scrutinising me in anger and surveying my body. I understood she knew I was Anna and she had connected the dots."You think I don't see through you? A mere rogue trying to sneak into my position." Ruby sneered at me. Taking a deep whiff. I knew she was trying to sniff my wolf, knowing too well what had been done to me.Satisfied with what she found, she turned to Noah."I hope you are not gullible enough to fall for her tricks.""What tricks? Anna is our guest," Noah asked in confusion while I tried to stay close to him."Guest? You barely know her, Noah. How can you trust a girl you randomly met for barely five minutes? I hope you don't end up getting deceived like the last time. Keep in mind, what happened to you. Do you want a repeat of that?" She shouted, angering Noah."Shut up, Ruby. Or I will forget you are my Luna. Reel in your tongue. You like it or not, An is here to stay," he almost raised his hand, shockin
Oliver seemed disturbed so I quickly tried to pacify him."Hey! Dear, something came up so I had to leave. I am coming to you very shortly. Don't worry.""Fine, but hurry up." He didn't sound very pleased on the phone as the call ended.I lifted my eyes while placing the phone back in my bag.Ruby was glaring while Noah seemed slightly jealous."Who was it? Your voice had gone all soft while speaking to him," Noah questioned rather curiously."That was Oliver, Alpha King's son. The young man who came to my defence at the party," I informed them."Both of you seem close." I could sense the excitement in Noah's voice."I am his nanny so yes we are close," I replied, adjusting my hair and ensuring my wig remained in its place. My remark had them both exchange a glance and Noah's eyes filled with reverence at the information. He was power hungry and I knew this was another reason he was trying to suck up to me."I had an inkling that you were close to the boy. Can you put in a good word w
(Author's POV)Oliver opened the door and found his father standing there. He was slightly surprised and wholly amused to find his father coming home so occasionally in the past two days."Hello! You are early," Oliver greeted him and he patted his son's head. His eyes went straight to where Anna was sitting and Oliver noticed how his father looked at her.He made a mental note to talk to his father about Anna and explain she wasn't like those women who chased him for his money. She was genuinely a good person with a soft heart. There was this feeling he had for Anna that she would never harm them."Yes, I got off work early," Asher said, walking inside and moving to the table where Anna was sitting. Oliver tagged behind."Good afternoon, Mr Ludwig," Anna warmly greeted him with a smile. A slight blush appeared on her cheeks remembering their last encounter.Asher ignored her greeting as his eyes fell on the food she had served Oliver and rage surged through him. He lifted his angered
