As Anna finished giving instructions to the babysitter that evening, she stepped out of the house, bag in hand and her anticipation rising. She was dressed in a black boat neck dress that draped elegantly over her body and showed off her long, lean legs.Ethan was there, waiting for her beside his black sports car. He sported an all black ensemble over which he wore a black leather jacket. His eyes met hers as he saw her walk to the other side.“You ready?” He asked, to which she nodded.She was going to see the pack for the first time.Anna was silent as she sat in the passenger’s seat of the car, breathing in the nice scent of the car. She could hardly contain her nerves, and it wasn’t her fault. She was a human, going to see a werewolf pack, which her children automatically belonged to. Of course, she had a right to wonder how things would turn out to be.“You must be nervous,” Ethan stated as he drove smoothly toward his destination. It was very fascinating to see the emotions cle

The sound of the fork snapping in William’s hands was lost to Anna, who was coughing at the question posed to her. Seconds later, a maid surreptitiously moved to hand the Alpha another fork, bowing and retreating into the corner.Lily had begun to notice William’s eyes never leaving Anna’s direction, and each time it made her angrier and angrier.At one point, she placed her hand on William’s thigh out of sight from everyone else, trying to get his attention.However, she found her arm promptly pushed away by him.What the hell?!She looked away from the Alpha who was supposedly her fiancé and she noticed that Ethan was the only one who had noticed that little exchange between her and his brother. He was smirking, as though he had won some small victory.Anna took advantage of the glass of water, her mind whirling as she thought of what she could say in response.Did Ethan’s mother think they had been..?Should she reject that premise?She didn’t want to start off on the wrong footin

“I don’t think I’m at liberty to say things that are personal,” Ethan finally answered, to Lily’s disappointment and obvious chagrin. She took her hand from his quickly, and pursed her lips.Ethan however didn’t look like he cared that she was currently being left in the dark.“Look, whatever you want to know, you already have your ways of finding out, as you said.” He told her so teasingly and the dark haired beauty looked away.“Does that mean you’re not on my side?” Lily asked him. “You and I are meant to be on the same side. Can’t you see that?”“Why?”His one-word questions topped her short, and she turned to glare at him. However, he met her gaze squarely and his eyes were just as cold, if not colder than hers.Ethan continued with a straight face. “Clearly, you’re fueled by your own agenda. Your idea of being on your side means for me to be your puppet. And I’m sure you know, I am no one’s prey.”He trailed his hand up her waist and to her upper back, leaving tingles on her bod

Anna woke up to her phone beeping; it was time to get up. And after a few moments of labored breathing, she did so with a groan and slowly made her way to the bathroom to wash her face. Then she began her morning routine, grumbling under her breath about how little sleep she got.As she finished bathing the children and dressing them up, she began her own task of dressing up, before preparing breakfast.Whilst feeding the twins, her phone began to vibrate.“Hello?” She answered her father’s call, using her shoulder to keep the phone in her ear while she continued feeding Andrea.“Anna, dear,” her father spoke. “How are you? And the twins?”“We’re alright.” She responded immediately.“I just wanted to remind you that… your sister’s court date is today.”Anna pursed her lips.“I know that, dad.” She finally said, just as she dropped the plate in the sink.There was a knock on the door as her father asked, “Will you be coming? The lawyer mentioned you will be on the stand today.”“Yep.”

William sighed.“I’m truly not in the mood for that line of questioning. Drop it.” He grunted to his fiancée.Unbeknownst to Lily, the guilt had begun to set in, that he had lost hold of his self control because of Anna.Lily didn’t like William’s response. She walked up to him and leaned into his personal space.Her scent was pleasing to his senses, and yet, the Alpha found it hard to not compare her with Anna.William had gotten too quiet for Lily’s liking.She had to try another tactic.Softly, she said, “William, please. I really don’t like how you’re acting. Why did you get all riled up over your brother bringing in a human girl? She had nothing to do with us.”The curiosity was clear in her voice, and he knew he couldn’t deny that. He had to give her something to shut her up.Finally he replied. “I knew her as an employee before today, but I had no idea about her connection to Ethan.”Lily was astonished. An employee?“So, you mean she works at Hayes’ Corp.”“Before. But not now
