(Asher)After finishing talking to Haden where I told him to keep me posted about the situation. I curiously watched Anna and Oliver converse. In between our food was served and all three of us began to eat. It was delicious and my hot pot was not spicy at all.Anna clearly saw a child in Oliver but what she didn't understand was both of us were lycans.We possessed immense power, physical and mental. Both of which needed to be monitored or they could break the human part of us.We were always trained from a very young age to hide our emotions and feelings. To remain detached and focus on the tasks at hand.I had personally trained Oliver in all these departments and he was capable enough to handle and manage different tasks within the pack.At that moment, I was seeing a very different Oliver. He was completely immersed in Anna and everything she was saying. He wished to impress her with his talks of adventures.Seeing him in this light, showed that he was still a child and yet he wa
(Anna)After we had finished our dinner, I had to use the restroom so I excused myself."I will clear the bill and take Oliver to the car. You can join us there," Asher said, taking Oliver's hand."It's my treat, I will pay the bill," I informed him, grabbing my bag."Consider it my treat, this time around. Maybe next time," Asher said and I nodded feeling slightly special to be treated by the Alpha King.Making my way to the restroom I relieved myself and then proceeded to wash my hands and face.Drying them I exited the restroom only to be blocked by a tall blonde with a neon pink peplum dress accentuating her curvy body. She wore more makeup than necessary giving her a look of a prepped-up Barbie doll and that scowl on her face screamed trouble."You are here with Mr Ludwig. What does he see in someone so plain?" She sneered and I had to let out a huff. These girls and the jealousy that stemmed from them."Simplicity, maybe he is allergic to blondes with pink fetish," I retorted ba
(Anna)Several colours passed on Noah's face, seeing me stand there with Asher. Since I wasn't wearing contact lenses or the wig he recognised it was me."So…so it had been you all along?" He asked, dumbfounded, his eyes almost bursting from his sockets. He indeed was dumb to not recognise me until now."Yes! It was me. What do you want, Noah?" I asked, fully turning to face him, as Asher stood tall behind me. I could sense his heat and it was reassuring in ways I couldn't explain."So first you tried to seduce me to make your way back in the pack and now you are trying to seduce another man? Ruby was right about you. You are indeed shameful and have changed," he taunted pointing his finger towards Asher and me. I heard Asher snort behind me at the allegation. He clearly found this clown amusing.My anger spiked though, the disgust coiled inside me and I wished to land a slap on his face. How did I find him handsome once upon a time?Did he not recognise the Alpha King he was desperat
(Anna)Seeing Noah's face change colours like a chameleon gave me more satisfaction than I could have imagined. His mouth was opened like a fish out of water seeing Oliver.It seemed like he recognised him, at least. Taking the opportunity to embarrass him some more, I made the introductions, pointing towards Asher."This is Mr Asher Ludwig, the renowned Alpha King and my employer."Noah visibly gulped, trying to hide his surprise and astonishment. He had literally made a fool of himself in front of the very person he wished to make an impression.The ear-splitting grin on my face kept widening the more I stared at Noah's. Asher sideglanced me with his eyebrows raised and I quickly adjusted my smile so it wouldn't be too obvious."I apologise for my offensive behaviour Alpha King, I didn't know…" Noah's voice weakened instantly and took on a flattering tone. His face was ashamed.Asher blatantly ignored him and without saying a word turned towards Oliver and gathered him up in his arm
(Anna)Oliver didn't seem disturbed by his father's absence. I concluded that it was a normal occurrence for him. Asher must occasionally leave him in the hands of his guards and servants before."I know dad will be back in a few days. I am not worried," he told me promptly when I went to fetch him from school. He looked extremely cute in his back and white uniform.I bent down and kissed his cheek."We will have a great time. Would you like to go to the mall today?" I asked, helping him settle in the car."Yes, please!" I observed he was excited at the thought.So after eating lunch and changing clothes where Oliver insisted on wearing his black tailored suit we decided to hit the mall."Why don't we buy some new and fun clothes for you?" I asked Oliver as we stopped outside the famous Dalmon Mall."Sounds like a plan." He agreed and we got down from the car.Two of us made our way in followed by two armed buffed guards of Asher.We went to a kid's brand first and entered through the
(Anna)After the long and joy-filled day at the mall, we headed home. Oliver had fun, he was playing with the red toy car I had bought for him.Reaching home I put away the new clothes we had bought today in his closet. Extracting a pair of new sleeping suits in a sky blue shade I told Oliver to take a bath, brush his teeth and change.I was still arranging his closet when Oliver appeared from the bathroom with his nightshirt open and posing like an action hero. His fingers combed his wet hair.I laughed at his actions but knew he would grow up to be as handsome as his father one day. She-wolves would fight for his attention and he would be one popular alpha male."You are going to be a heartthrob for the she-wolves. They will be envious of your attention." I teased while hanging his clothes in the closetOliver stepped closer to me as he proudly spoke, puffing his tiny chest out."I have been training with my pack since I was four. I plan to become a successful successor to my father
(Anna)The next day I woke up early. Oliver was still fast asleep. I contently smiled and pressed a small kiss on Oliver's temple before leaving the bed.Making my way to my room I freshened up and fixed a healthy breakfast for Oliver. I made blueberry pancakes and steamed buns alongside a banana milkshake.After serving the breakfast I went to wake up Oliver. He woke up, slowly opening his beautiful eyes and spreading his arms upwards."Good morning!" He mumbled."Good morning! Handsome," I cheerfully answered, "Rise and shine, we have to go to the amusement park today, remember."He happily jumped out of the bed and rushed to the bathroom.We had a wholesome breakfast and he loved eating everything I had prepared."Thanks, Anna! It was delicious," he showed his gratitude, swelling my heart.After breakfast we changed and were about to head out with Asher's personal guards when my phone chimed. I had earlier informed Asher that I would be taking Oliver to the amusement park today.Ta
(Anna)His sudden question threw me off, making my mouth hit the ground with shock. A wave of warmth travelled through me and I wondered if he was joking or was serious.One could never tell with Asher. Was he being sincere or merely mocking me to prompt a reaction?Before I could formulate an answer, Oliver dragged me along towards the pirate boat."Hurry! I want side seats," Oliver jabbered as Asher followed us on sure and confident steps. A small smile twisting his lips.I knew this was a topic we needed to approach subtly and not in a hurry, definitely not like this.So I avoided approaching the topic for now.We settled in the boat and belted up. Oliver perched between Asher and me and was over-excited for the ride. It had been a while since I had taken this one.The boat began to gradually swing, picking up pace with every completed swing. Soon it was fast enough to make people and their pups scream.To my surprise, Oliver was sitting normally with his hands raised. The air swep
