(Author's POV)

Ruby impatiently paced her bedroom waiting for any news from the rogues. Her long silk nightgown trailed behind her as she continuously stared at her phone. Her long perfectly manicured nails with red nailpolish drummed the side of her phone.

As the seconds ticked by her anxiousness grew. She could only hope that nothing would go wrong this time around.

At midnight, her phone finally rang, and she quickly swiped at her phone's screen to receive the call, hoping for good news.

"Did you succeed?" She quickly asked.

"Succeed? She was a demon and we barely survived her attacks. Why didn't you tell us she was trained in combat? She has severely injured all my men; you better pay compensation for their medical," the leader of the rogues yelled back at her through the phone, leaving Ruby dumbfounded.

"You are lying," Ruby stated in exasperation, she couldn't believe Anna would be able to beat so many rogues while being injured and having to have lost her wolf.

I had to pick up the pace or I would completely be lost in this revenge.I clearly understood Ruby's plan now, she wished to repeat what she had tried earlier at the Amusement Park and failed.

I was more than capable enough to protect Oliver. But it was time to turn the table on Ruby and take the battle to her. I was going to make her pay for all her wretched schemes and below-the-belt hits.After putting Oliver to bed, I changed into an all black form-fitting shirt and black le

    (Author's POV)The greater demon was sealed by the moon goddess centuries ago using a moonstone. It was later subdivided into 12 moonstones and handed over to the Alphas of the packs for safekeeping. Since moonstones had tremendous powers, they could enhance the abilities of a werewolf, or they could break the seal of a demon and set it free, they were kept hidden in safe places.Currently, Asher held six moonstones from among those twelve. John Carol, Anna's father had one which was stolen by Ruby during the attack and was handed over to Shadow Howl Pack.That moonstone was used to weaken the seal of the greater demon, it was a vile creature which thrived in chaos. Since the moonstone had been divided into 12 smaller moonstones. A single one wasn't powerful enough to break the demon's seal. It was only able to weaken the seal and a part of the demon's soul escaped.A deal was made with the demon by the Shadow Howl Pack in their quest to attain the ultimate power.(Asher's POV)The co

I decided to let him stay for he had done a lot for me back at The Shadow."Nice place," he complimented while settling down on the sofa with his arm spread on the armrest. His lecherous eyes followed me around my living room as I searched for a vase. His gaze made me feel extremely uncomfortable."You can turn on the TV," I suggested, plucking the vase out of a cabinet and placing the flowers he had brought for me in it. I began to add fresh water."I am fine like this," he said with the click of his tongue and kept on staring.After placing the cylindrical vase on the table, I sat on the sofa as far away as possible from him."So how long are you going to be staying in Howler City?" I asked, trying to divert his attention from me and easing the tense atmosphere."It depends on the mission and considering how long it progresses. I might be staying a while," he answered, his

    (Anna)Opening the door I found myself face to face with two individuals who were fast occupying every part of my life.Oliver and Asher.Asher had a hint of smile tugging on his plump lips as he carried a very sullen looking Oliver. The little ones' beautiful eyes were swollen red along with the tip of his nose. He dramatically sniffed loudly and threw himself towards me from Asher's arms. I quickly caught him."Annnaaa!" He cried out and hugged me as if his life was dependent on it. Asher pursed his lips together, seeing his dramatics."What's wrong Oliver?" I asked softly, rubbing his back."I missed your food, I haven't eaten anything since you left. Please, make me something," he told me with a sniffle. My heart ached hearing that he hadn't eaten, although I had instructed the guards to get him a meal and fed him before leaving.Gently I stroked his hair and calmed him down."Don't worry, I will cook for you whatever you want. Stop crying." I placed a small kiss on his head and h

    (Asher)I decided to visit Oliver and Anna first before heading off on the mission to gather moonstones.As soon as I entered the house, Oliver came running to me with a very solemn face. His expression told me he meant serious business.He huffed, placing both his hands on his tiny waist, trying to appear like a big guy."Dad! We have a serious issue at hand. Did you see the picture I sent you?" He said, seeming utterly distressed. Extending his hand, he grabbed mine and began dragging me along. I quietly followed, letting him take the lead."I did," I said in all seriousness.Seating me on the lounger, he climbed on and sat beside me."So you understand how tough the situation is? My mate is being stolen from right under my nose. Can you help?" He asked with such profound sadness that I had to extend my hand and pat his head."Don't worry little one, I won't let anyone take Anna. We will get rid of that man trying to get close to her." The belief that she was my woman now had cement

    (Asher's POV)I felt the muscles in her body go taut, her breath came out ragged as her scent flooded my nose. A single drop of sweat drizzled down the smooth skin of her neck.With an agitated heart, I awaited her answer and then she turned in my hold. Her green eyes, which were mostly serene like a rainforest, were sharp at that moment. I saw something feral simpering there, something evil. This wasn't the Anna I had come to know. The woman who was also the mother of my child.Without warning, she tried to punch me, but I saw it coming from the side of my eyes and dodged. Another one she hurled my way, her face contorted into rage."Anna! What are you doing?" I asked, swiftly dodging her punches which she relentlessly threw at me. I was perplexed at her reaction, what had gotten her so triggered?Instead of slowing down, her punches picked up the pace, her jaw tightened to the point of hurting her. My heart ached to see such a violent response. Her punches didn't make contact with m

    (Anna)Asher's touch was soothing and warm. His lips murmured against my skin but as soon as he whispered the word 'home' something triggered my brain.The images of my father lying dead in the pool of his blood and the mangled bodies of his comrades swirled in my brain. An uncontrollable darkness swept and blanketed me in its hold, making me lose control.An ominous voice emerged in my brain, speaking only one word.'Kill!''Kill!''Kill!'I lost all control over myself as the darkness shrouded me for a while and chaos broke out. My consciousness was pushed into the deep crevices of my brain. As the murderous intent took over and I attacked.A small voice pricked at my consciousness and it grew stronger, trying to bring me out of the darkness I had gotten myself stuck in.It was like a flicker of light beaming from above and guiding me towards itself.

    (Anna)I cringed when he hugged me and slowly peeled off his arms from around me."Why are you here? Did Kyle send you? Where were you when he imprisoned me?" I annoyedly asked, narrowing my eyes at him."Anna! Kyle sent me away on a mission. I didn't know he would do something like that. You have to trust me. I am only here to warn you," he quickly answered, trying to hold my hand."About what?" I kept my hands behind my back so he wouldn't be able to reach them."Kyle searched all the locations Asher left him regarding the moonstones. And he knows Asher lied. Kyle is coming for him, and this won't be pretty." He drew near and held my shoulders again, making my nose wrinkle."It's just a matter of time that he discovers Asher's Island and your location, Anna. If he is able to capture you, he will turn you into his breeder or will feed you to that demon. I don't want that." Claude vehemently shook his head, I could see the fear in his eyes."That's why you are here? To warn me?" I ask

Children began to accept and play with her under the strict supervision of Ollie.The rest of our vacation days breezily passed. It was the last day of our vacation and we decided to spend it on the beach.Ollie, Ellie and the other children were playing beach volleyball in their swimming costumes. Their chatter and laughter filled the air as the sun shone brightly. The gentle waves of the calm blue sea were kissing the white sand and retreating quietly. It was a pleasant day for the outing.I was sprawled on my tummy, lying on a lounger beach chair, soaking the last of the warmth of the sun. Asher's adept hands touched the smooth skin of my back."You want some sun lotion? I can be very gentle at times," he playfully remarked, his voice was like the cool sea breeze blowing from

I entered his office as he closed the door behind us and offered me a set.I settled myself confidently and faced him and instantly got to the point instead of trying to beat around the bush."Mr Haster, I am sure you are aware of the bullying incident that took place in your hotel today."Haster settled in his chair behind his polished desk and placed his chubby hands on the shining surface."I deeply regret what has transpired in my hotel today and we will compensate you in every way.""Compensate? Will that bring back the confidence my daughter lost? How will it repair the damage that was done?"

I decided to check up on the kids during that time.Nearing their suite, I heard crying sounds coming from inside. It made me panic.What could have gone wrong in my absence?Quickly, I pushed open the door, and my heart jumped into my mouth.Oliver had a bleeding lip and a panicked face while Ellie was loudly crying. Seeing me, Oliver jumped into my arms and began to wail loudly as well.I collected both of them in my arms. It was going to be a long night."Hey! Hey! Slow down..tell me in detail what happened." I calmed both my children down by slowly rubbing their backs and kissing their foreheads. It was chaos because both of them were incessantly crying.We settled down on the plushy rug and I let Oliver tell me everything that had transpired in my absence.

Excitement bubbled inside me, and Asher as we walked hand in hand towards it.The heavenly moon hung like a big bright orb in the sky, illuminating our path as we trotted towards it.A white marble structure came into view which rested on a raised platform with four pillars. Three broad steps led to the platform.The white rays of the moon bathed the whole altar in its soft glow. The fireflies danced all around it creating this mesmerising ambience about it."Wow! It's breathtaking," I cried out."Indeed!" Asher answered, ushering me forward.As we reached near and climbed the stairs, an old man squatting alongside one of the pillars came into view. His white beard, the same colour as the moonlight which shone brightly on him, was so long that it touched the ground.His eyes were closed and hands clasped in front as if he was praying to the Moon goddess.The wrinkled face was serene and peaceful.Sensing us his eyes opened

I asked Asher, leaning onto his chest as held me to himself."Just wait; I have everything figured out," Asher answered, deep in thought."Kyle is planning to feed both of us to the demon as the final sacrifice.
