(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
(Anna)Everyone else kept their distance from us for Asher had let out his overpowering aura. It weighed heavily on others as he moved with ease. It didn't seem like he was carrying a 55 kg woman on his back.I snickered knowing he did it on purpose to intimidate the other contestants. That dark aura was something not everyone could handle."Go! Go!" I prompted him forward and he obeyed. His sturdy legs moved on the track at such a fast speed that the world was nothing but a blur around me. My hair whirled behind as adrenaline rushed through my body.I kept clinging to him. My arms rested along his heaving chest. The rhythms of his sturdy heart I could sense as its beats mingled with mine and beat as one. We ran as one unit, even breathing as one.Somehow.The lead between us and other couples grew and amidst cheers and applause, we effortlessly crossed the finish line and stood first. No one was even closer to us as we won by a huge margin.Although it was mostly Asher's offer I coul
(Author's POV)Anna followed Oliver into the haunted house. The area was shrouded in darkness, the eerie silence enveloped them. It was broken only by the distant howls of wolves. In the distance, they saw the flickering lanterns casting long, twisted shadows on the ground. The path led to an opening with gnarled trees, their branches reaching out like skeletal hands.Anna couldn't help but be impressed with the way it had been developed. She caught up to Oliver and tried to hold his hand. The dense fog swirled around their feet, obscuring the uneven ground and adding to the feeling of disorientation."Let go, Anna," he yelled in frustration as the air was cold and damp, carrying the scent of decay and something else, something primal.Suddenly the rogue werewolves appeared. They emerged from the shadows, their eyes glowed menacingly red. Their costumes were disturbingly realistic, with matted fur, sharp claws, and fangs that glistened in the dim light. They moved with an unnatural ag
(Anna)The excruciating pain in my shoulder was spreading through my whole body now. I was afraid to drift into unconsciousness. Not having my wolf came with a disadvantage, I couldn't see in the dark and comprehend where my attacker was taking me.The thought of Oliver's safety drifted through my mind and I could only hope in this situation that he was safe and had made it to Asher.My feet finally touched the ground as he lowered me. I was still disoriented and had no clue where I was. Needing to rely on my other senses I tried to focus and felt him move to my left, towards my injured shoulder.Agonising pain ripped through me as I tried to move my arm and launch an attack on my attacker. My movements were way slower because of the injury and he received ample time to dodge, moving to my front.My eyes tried to focus on him, but the man was shrouded in darkness and wore all black. He shifted like a wraith, dangerous and lithe. His movements were swift and effortless and I knew he wa
(Asher)Oliver's tantrums regarding Anna had been increasing with each passing day. While the woman left me sexually frustrated, she was becoming an important need for Oliver.Picking up the polar bear I handed it to my guard and made my way to where Oliver and Anna had disappeared too. As I reached outside the haunted house, I halted.There was this strange feeling that weaved inside me as if something terrible had happened.At that moment, I saw a staff member guiding a very disturbed-looking Oliver. As soon as he saw me, Oliver rushed and I spread my arms for him. My heart jolted seeing the tears running down his reddened face.Oliver hardly ever cried and seeing him like that jolted my heart in the worst possible ways.What could have gone wrong and where was Anna?"It's okay, I got you." I hugged him closer to my chest as he rubbed his eyes and hiccuped, unable to speak. Tremors rocked his small body and it disturbed my peace. Blaze surfaced as well, wanting to know what had our
(Anna)I was drifting in and out of consciousness. My eyes slowly opened and I tried to take in my surroundings. The lights had been dimmed but it seemed like a hotel room.My body burnt from the effects of the drug the masked man had injected in me. My body sizzled with a need to be touched, to be filled.The sheen of sweat coated my body and ran down my temples.The intimate area between my legs was excruciatingly pained as if someone had set it on fire. My skin had crimsoned and I felt itchy and restless. This made me thrash on the bed I had been placed on.The sensations it caused made me realise that I had been drugged by an aphrodisiac.During my time in Shadow, I had been injected with aphrodisiacs as part of my training. To achieve a level of self-control and remain level-headed in case an enemy was able to inject me with it.This seemed like a milder dose and my brain still functioned, fighting against the gripping effects of this drug.I remembered my phone but it seemed to
(Anna)(NSFW Content Ahead)As soon as Asher had entered the room and beaten the crap out of Eugene. My body's condition worsened. His scent drove me over the edge and I lost all my resolve to hold myself back. The sweltering heat of my body craved Asher's touch, only he could sate the physical primal hunger that was blinding me in that instant.Slowly climbing out of bed I approached him as he passed instructions to his guards. Once the door closed, I touched his shoulder and felt their electricity charge through me. He turned and I could no longer hold myself back. My lips found his and he responded with equal fervour as if starved for centuries.A low growl he let out, his hands grabbed my waist prompting my legs to slide up. I snugly wrapped them against his waist as he steadied me and carried me to the bed.Our lips locked on to each other, my hands slipped into his soft raven hair and I clutched them, jerking his head back so I could deepen this tantalising kiss. It was liquefyi
