(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. The murderous urges began to be nipped down and I began to gain the control of my body and actions.As the swirling dark urges disappe
(Anna)Oliver tugged at my shirt to get my attention and my heart wrecked with remorse and guilt from his words as I stared at him with gloomy eyes.Bending down, I extended my hand and slowly rubbed Oliver's neck."I am sorry, Oliver. I truly am. Next time if I ever lose control, you should stay away from me. Promise, you will do as I have said."He slowly nodded at me with teary eyes and I extended my pinky finger towards him."Make a pinky promise that you will do as I have asked."He brought forward his own pinky finger and tangled it with mine, he pleaded with sadness swirling in his eyes that looked exactly like mine."I promise, Anna. But please don't leave us."Slowly I embraced Oliver, letting my warmth soothe him. He was so sharp and observant that, at times, I forgot he was just a kid. And today I had hurt him, something I never wanted to do. So I told him in a trembling voice, my body was still recovering from the traumatic experience I had."Oliver, my life is complicated
(Anna)Today marked the sixth death anniversary of my father and the massacre at my pack. A memorial had been constructed inside the pack at the place where they were killed.Noah had already permitted me to visit the pack whenever. He had notified the guards so I was easily let in.Carrying a few black roses I made my way to the memorial with a heavy heart. Tears burnt the back of my eyes as I saw the epitaph. Stepping closer I placed the roses on it and traced my finger on the black cold marble. I closed my eyes, sending a silent prayer.I missed my father and couldn't help but wonder how my life would have turned out had he been alive."Dad, I miss you," I silently whispered, stifling a cry. My heart ached, and I wished to visit my parent's room.My feet carried me in its direction; along the way, I met some of my pack members, but they turned in the other direction, seeing me approach. Fear was evident in their eyes, which wrenched my heart in the worst possible ways. How Noah and
(Anna)~Dhuzz!~I reacted instantly and pushed Noah out of the range of the bullet. It swept right past his ear and hit the wall behind him, leaving a hole in it.Noah was left in utter disbelief at being shot at by Ruby as his head smashed against the opposite wall and he fell unconscious.I didn't have time to entertain him anymore; if he had been smart, he should have seen her betrayal coming.Seeing me pushing him out of the danger, Ruby fumed and screamed out in frustration and she turned the gun my way."Die!"I had already anticipated her move and shifted closer to her. Before she could pull the trigger, I kicked her hand; the gun flew out and cluttered to the ground a few meters away from her.She growled in anger, fury driving her crazy. Instantly, she began to transform; her nightgown tore apart as her limbs began to grow and hair sprouted out.She landed on all fours, the skin of her mouth pulled back revealing her sharp fangs to me. The Death danced in the eyes of her wolf
(Asher)Anna had asked for some time alone, to reflect and heal from the turmoil she had been going through. I kept my distance but my eyes didn't. I kept watch but discreetly so she wouldn't discover what I was up to.When Anna quietly left her house one day, looking extremely solemn and disturbed. I decided to follow her but Oliver insisted on coming as well, too concerned about Anna.I couldn't say no and brought him along. She bought some black roses on the way and proceeded to her old pack.Remaining in the shadows we followed her inside. I had masked mine and Oliver's scent so no one would discover her.We hid outside the pack house behind some flowering bushes. She went inside, and soon, a gunfire was heard. My senses became super alert as I could hear her heartbeat strongly, even from a distance. Oliver was agitated but I reassured him that Anna was alive.Then we saw a giant werewolf barreling his way in, followed by some rogues, and soon carrying a wounded Ruby out and disap
(Anna)(NSFW content ahead)Asher gently carried me to my room and I couldn't help but take large whiffs of his fresh and invigorating scent. He calmed me down.Laying me on the bed, he slowly covered me with my blanket, and I couldn't help but take on the fetal position, feeling extremely vulnerable.Asher calmly asked if I wished for him to stay. My turmoiled heart craved his warmth, my treacherous body wished to wrap itself around him and absorb every comfort he had to offer.To have those strong hands to pin me down and rut inside me until my brain would stop functioning.To have those shapely hips move and jerk in rhythm to mine.To have those sultry lips to part and scream my name, to murmur sweet nothings into my ear and make my body blanketed by goosebumps.And yet my rational mind denied it, telling me it wouldn't be wise to tangle with him in sheets.I was merely a human girl and he was the wolf king. I had fainted the last time he had pounded inside me mercilessly, and yet
(Anna)(NSFW content ahead)I lost count of the earth-shattering orgasms that rippled through my body, provided alone by his tongue.All my muscles went taut and my body shuddered as I screamed my pleasures and his mouth sucked me dry. Lapping up the juices I squirted.His lewd eyes found mine as he finally lifted his head and his lips glistened from my lubricants. Embarrassment flooded me as his tongue slipped out and licked them clean off his lips."Your taste is addicting but I think you would need something more," he sluggishly said, straightening up and grabbing his erected thick rod. He stroked it in his hand and its tip glistened.I gulped, and my eyes widened; seeing my reaction, Asher teasingly asked."Do you want it?"I could only nod, my tongue refusing to move.Who wouldn't want seven inches of pleasure. His smirk deepened seeing me so wasted from the orgasms.Asher picked up my legs and placed them on his broad shoulders. Nudging his cock forward he lubricated it with my
(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
(Anna)After the bullying incident, I observed drastic changes in both Ellie and the children of the Hotel management and staff. Ellie had become more confident and didn't shy away from expressing her opinion. 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
( Anna)Taking long steps I headed down and made my way to the Manager's Office. I knocked and soon the door opened."Ma'am, please! Come in," the manager quickly said, trying to hide his surprise. 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 asked in annoyance, crossing my arms over my chest.Haster uncomfortably cleared his throat and began. "We will counsel the children involved, I assure you such an incident will not be repeated
(Anna)As we reached the hotel, Asher received a phone call and stayed outside to attend it. 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. Grabbing the first aid box from the bathroom, I cleaned Oliver's wound and applied antiseptic.The more he spoke the more enraged I fe
(Oliver's POV)Mom put us in bed, told us stories and kissed us goodnight. She dimmed the lights and thought we had gone to sleep but I was still awake. I couldn't sleep.Ellie had drifted off. Although Mom and Dad had fully accepted Ellie into the family, I still struggled with the idea of sharing my parents with her.I had just gotten my mom back and now I needed to share her with this new girl. I was supposed to be the only one having all of her love after staying apart for so many years.But I didn't want to disappoint Mom..she asked me to get along with her and take care of her, and that was what I would do.However, Ellie frustrated me. She was immature and stupid. The simple tasks she found ardent. Easy tasks, she was unable to solve and I always had to help her.It tested my patience but I was trying. My eyes finally began to close as sleep took over but I was woken by Ellie's soft cries and her tummy rumbling.I sat up straight and turned to face Ellie. She was clutching the
(Anna)The altar was located on the north side of the island. 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
(Author's POV)Anna was slightly shaken after Noah's death. The burden of being an Alpha and the CEO of Carol Industries also weighed heavily on her.Kids were also disturbed because of Anna's sudden disappearance earlier. They were trying to get along, but Oliver still struggled with the concept of suddenly having an adopted sister.At times he ended up saying mean things to her. To make up for that he would awkwardly offer her food and force her to take it. Sometimes, acting like an older brother, he would teach her how to correctly play with toys or use certain gadgets. But ended up reprimanding her at times.It was a conflicted relationship so far.Seeing the emotional state of his family Asher decided to take a break from Howler City and their positions as Alphas.He gathered the family in their living room and stood in front of them before announcing."I have decided to take a family vacation for a week. We will be going away to a peaceful island and spending some time there as
(Anna)After our near-death escape, Asher kept tabs on Kyle and his movements. He was fully dedicated to finding the rest of Moonstones and shifted his focus to Crescent Island. Utilising the assassins at his disposal, he set out to hunt the moonstones.One day Edward received a call from Shadow Howl Pack. It was Noah secretly calling with the help of a doctor who had taken pity on him.He wished to see me."Anna, I just spoke to Noah. I know how badly he treated you, but he himself was a victim and is in bad shape now. Can you visit him once?" Edward requested with a plea.Although Noah had wronged me on so many levels, he got his retribution. This was the least I could do for him."Alright, I will take Asher along and visit him."I called Asher and he was more than ready to accompany me.Together we went to the Shadow Howl Pack. The doctor secretly let us in because the security was lax in the absence of Kyle."He doesn't have much time left. He had been calling for you day and nigh
(Anna)I regained my senses and the heat abated after Asher made love to me. Getting up he helped me clean in the bathroom and wrapped his suit jacket around my body."So what's our escape plan?" 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. We can't let him get his hands on all the moonstones; it will be pure chaos," I informed him, but Asher remained relaxed. His lips lovingly grazed my blown-out hair."I know, don't worry."We were still talking when there was a knock on the door."Stay here, Anna. Let me see who it is," Asher instructed while getting up and walking to the door, confidently. He knew what he was doing.Opening the door he came face to face with a very enraged Kyle and a bunch of assassins and warriors.Pushing past him, they barged inside the place, and Kyle's eyes narrowed at me and then moved to Asher
