ANNE'S POVI spent the rest of my day holed up in the library and soon, night fell.Just as I entered my room after coming from the library, a knock sounded on my door."Come in." I answered and Nicole walked in.There was something in her arms and she walked in and laid it on my bed.It was a pink box decorated all over with paintings of a yellow daffodil.She knelt down next to my bed and untied the straps, swung open the lids and brought out a dress and draped it on my bed.I realized it was a dress, precisely the dress she had said she would bring up for me to wear for the party tonight."Its beautiful." I exclaimed in delight."Try it on." She urged and I picked up the gown and put it on.It was a royal blue silk dress with a slightly plunging neckline.The skirt spread out into ruffled tiers and the waist was embellished with diamond stones that seemed to accentuate my waist even more.It was a little offthe shoulder and showed off my collarbones exquisitely.The outfit was a bi
NICOLE'S POVThe all girl's out evening was going well until I witnessed Anne pushing Celyn into a pool at Ellen's coming of age party.I would have thought it a minor mistake if she hadn't just stood there and watched while Celyn almost drowned but she did.Eventually, I had ended up saving Celyn and bringing her back home but I was incredibly pissed at Anne.How could she have done something like that?If I hadn't been present and someone had recounted the events of earlier to me, I would refuse to believe it.But I had seen it with my own eyes and disappointment was an understatement for how I felt towards Anne.Starting from the day we had a conversation about Celyn almost spilling hot tea on her, I had a feeling she didn't like Celyn that much, which was why I tried to make them bond by going on outings together and always including them both in my activities but I guess all of that was useless.I still didn't understand what kind of grudge Anne was holding against Celyn up to t
ANNE'S POVThe next morning, I was seated languidly on the sofa.Breakfast has gone quite awkwardly, with Carson and I having a cold war and my recent fight with Nic and the silent hatred between I and Celyn, there was no room for laughter.Only Cam and Cadel were relaxed since they weren't caught up in any of it.Nic also had been gloomy all through and hadn't spoke a word to me or anyone else.Carson had noticed and asked if she was alright but she had just nodded absentmindedly.Celyn kept passing me sneering looks at the dining table but I just chose to ignore her.I didn't let her rile me up, it would only lead to further arguments between I and Nicole.The entertainment news went on and on but my mind was far away."Oh if it isn't the defeated werewolf." Celyn's voice rang out snapping me from my daydream.She then took her seat on the armchair next to the sofa.I kept quiet and tried to ignore her, gluing my eyes to the TV."How did it feel to be left behind yesterday, all for
ANNE'S POV"Alphas, Alpha Stephen is here." A werewolf guard walked in and reported and everyone looked expectantly towards the door.Soon, Alpha Stephen walked in and Cadel rose to meet him.He was a lean tall and muscular wolf with brown chestnut hair.He was handsome and had a mature aura although I knew he was the same age as the Alphas."I am so sorry about everything, where is she?" He asked immediately he entered."Upstairs in her bedroom, we had to detain her there." Carson answered.Stephen heaved a sigh and palmed his face, then he turned to Cadel."This is all my fault, I should not have let her come back. You know, I knew she had romantic feelings for you and I kind of egged her on until I found out you had a mate already. That was why I wanted her to come back so I could find a good match for her and marry her off but I ruled out the posssibility that she would do something like this. I should not have agreed when Nicole wanted her over either. This is all my fault." Ste
CARSON'S POVI had headed out after telling Anne goodbye but on getting to my car, I remembered that I had forgotten to take the reports of a patient I was to operate on that I had brought home last night to study so I headed back inside the mansion to get it.On getting to my study, I grabbed the report from the top shelf where I had left it and headed out locking the door behind me.When I walked by Anne's room, I also remembered that I wanted to ask her out for dinner tonight.Just the two of us.We had not really gotten to spend time alone with each other lately so I had planned a dinner tonight.All that was left was for me to inform her.I had to tell her now because I would be too busy later in the day to call or text her.However, when I got to her room, she was not there.Where could she have gone?I walked around the mansion trying to locate her and I was already starting to panic when I didn't see her.When I walked by Carson's office, I heard a noise and went in to see who
ANNE'S POVAfter Cadel walked out, slamming the door angrily behind him, I sank to the ground.It was like I had been sucked of all my energy.I never meant for Cadel to witness what had happened, I just couldn't help myself, I couldn't resist the fact that I wanted Carson as much as I wanted the rest of the brothers.It was just a feeling I couldn't control or get rid of but now I had ended up hurting Cadel."Carson you shouldn't have fought with him." I said, looking up at Carson who was pulling off his half ripped shirt down his arms.He turned to look at me, his eyebrows raised."So what should I have done? Stay still while he beats me up, hell no." He replied, bending to pick up his smashed computer from the ground."Now I have to get a new one." He groaned to himself."It wasn't his fault, He's was just mad." I said, getting up from the ground.Carson paused and looked at me intently, "Really? Are you really taking his side. You came on to me and seduced even when I warned you n
ANNE'S POV"Anne you're shivering." Cam pointed out when he noticed me trembling. Truly my teeths were chattering but it was not due to the cold but because of fear and it kept growing as time went on.It had been four hours since Cadel was wheeled into the operating room and there was no sign of it ending soon.Some nurses had rushed in and out several times and I had tried to stop them to ask about what was going on inside but none of them had replied.All they had said was for me to be calm.But how was I supposed to remain calm when I didn't even know if Cadel would live or die.My guilt was threatening to eat me up and despite all Cam had said to me, I could not help but worry.My brows were tightly furrowed together and I clenched my jaw tightly to stop my teeths from chattering.Cam took off his jacket and covered me up with it then stood next to me, one of his knees raised against the wall to support himself.After a while he pushed himself off the wall and turned to me."Wou
ANNE'S POVBy the time I woke up, it was already the next morning.The first thing I saw when I woke up was Carson sitting next to the window.His eyes were closed and his slender legs were crossed carelessly.The hospital ward smelled like drugs and antiseptic but there was also a subtle fragrance, not the pungent smell of perfume but a cool minty lavender fragrance.The scent was from Carson, I recognized it as the smell of his bodywash.I inhaled and exhaled a few times, my nose was stuffy and clogged probably from me kicking off the covers while I was asleep.I got up quietly and grabbed the blanket Carson had covered me with the night before and carefully folded it before walking up to the bed where Cadel laid.Just like yesterday, his face was peaceful and he showed no signs of waking up.His clothes had been changed and I guessed that was Carson's work, he must have done that while I was asleep.I brushed his hair nearly with my fingers and pulled the covers even higher on him.
