ANNE'S POVThe evening summer breeze bundled its aurroundings in an embrace of warmth.As the sun set across the horizon, the sky sinked into a depth of oblivion.I walked down the long road that led to the mansion from the greenhouse, the setting sun casting a warm glow on the building from afar.On our way back, Nic had changed her mind and headed out, I had no idea where she was headed but I didn't want to pry either.Even though we had gotten quite close, I still wanted to respect her privacy.When I got to the entrance of the mansion, the Deltas pulled open the huge doors for me and I nodded gently at them.Everyone around treated me really well and they showered me with respect that I had never had in my previous pack.The feeling that gave me was wholesome, I was finally experiencing the love and happiness I only ever dreamt of before.I smiled in contentment as I walked down the hallway that led to the living room.A human form lying on the sofa caught my attention just as I w
ANNE'S POVThe first rays of sunlight lit up my room, the dawn chorus of melodic bird songs drifted in.I rubbed my bleary eyes and walked to the window. There was a pearly glow in the sky.Why had I woken up so early, now I couldn't go back to sleep.I rolled around in my bed trying to get some more sleep before I would have to rise for my daily activities but sleep eluded me.'You really should get a job' I said to myself after the realization that ever since I had arrived in Lakeshore pack, I hadn't done any proper job and had just been depending on the Alphas for everything I needed.Inwardly, I scolded myself, promising to do better.Although no one requested me to work, I felt a tinge of guilt within me.Dragging myself out of bed, I took my bath and got dressed in a white v-neckline chiffon top and a black and white checkered pleated skirt and headed downstairs.The mansion was unusually quiet this morning and having nothing to do, I headed to the kitchen to help out in prepar
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
