All Chapters of Annora: The Alpha's Prey, Beta's Obsession : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

AEGON Can the day end already? There was one last thing to do, and it was going to involve the Healer. “One moment, Darius. There's somewhere I need to be.” The man halted, waiting for me to move in the right direction and when I did, I could hear his footsteps from behind once again. Magnus had better be available. “I want Magnus now.” Soon, he appeared before mes, , his head bowed. “My lord. What shall I do?” “I need clarity—” I looked at him. “But before that can happen, I need to know how Annora is. How is the baby too?” My gaze fixed on the door for a moment, and I looked at him once more. “Yes, Magnus.” “She's awake already.” He let me know. In satisfaction, I gave a nod. I cared about her. Wasn't it obvious? How could I hate a woman who gave me so much orgasm? I wondered, smiling even though I shouldn't be doing a thing like that. “I wanted to know how she is, but that's not all. Does she know about it already?” “Not yet, Alpha Aegon. She's awake an

ANNORAWh—what was he talking about? “I don't understand you, Aegon. What do you speak of?” He moped at me, dumb. Why didn't he speak? Why couldn't he say something?“What did you say?” “You're pregnant, Annora.” No fucking way!No way!For who?!“No—” I mouthed, getting off the bed. “You've got to be kidding me, Aegon. What did you say?” Was I pregnant? Was this the reason why I couldn't do anything for days? Was this why I fainted in the kitchen? “Are you joking?!” “I don't know,” he cried. “This question would need to be directed to Magnus. I have no idea what to think or say at this point, Annora. But the truth remains that you're with child although we don't know wh—” No. He wasn't going to say that, was he? A wicked smile appeared on my face and I looked at Aegon who had the most confusing look ever on his face. I had never seen him this way. Never. But why would he ask or act like he didn't know this child was his? No. What was I trying to do? Accept that I was pre

AEGONInstead of a reaction, Kairel burst out laughing. What was funny? All these while, since I announced the news to him, I had looked away with expectations that his hand hit me in the face. But no, instead of that, he burst into laughter. What was funny? Again, I wondered. “Kairel—” I cried. “This is not a joke, brother.” “Of course, it is, Alpha Aegon—” he dropped his spoon on the plate and faced me completely. “Tell me the truth, is this a joke? Did the moon goddess choose Annora for a task and the first step is pregnancy? How come?” “No—” I stuttered. “Annora has not been chosen by the moon goddess for anything. There's nothing like that that has happened. I felt you needed to know the truth and nothing more. Can you stop laughing, at least?” Kairel shook his head. He picked up the spoon and moped at it before dropping it on the plate once more. “My lord—” he called. “Alpha Aegon—” he called again, an uncertain look on his countenance. “Do you mean to tell me that Annor

KAIREL At this point, anger rushed through my veins like blood. I hit the door, watching it shut with a bubble. “Argh!” A loud shout escaped my mouth as I hit the door again. What the fuck went down behind my back? And how come Annora thought of me as a fool? Reaching the end of my chamber, the urge to remain standing overwhelmed me and at the same time, I wanted to be seated. Just then, I sat down on the couch with so many thoughts running around in my head. How dare Aegon? From the perspective of Annora, she was nothing but right. If she had a way, she would not let Aegon have his way with her. She was nothing but a poor woman who didn't have any choice at all. Why did I expect more from her? Aegon deserved to die. He deserved a gun pointed at his skull. He deserved to become the weak man I always thought of him as. How could he do this to me? How dare he be wicked to me, despite my loyalty? Standing on my feet, I fell back on the couch an

AEGON On this day, myself and the men of the pack had a meeting. Snapping my fingers this early, I watched the door open and then Darius led his way into the chamber. “Good morning, my lord. What shall I do for you today?” “Gather the men of the Pack. We might have a meeting. Can you be fast about it? I need some time to myself.” Announcing while I got on my feet, I reached the closet and took out an outfit for the meeting.The day, in total.“Right away, my lord.” While Darius left the chamber, I snatched a towel from the closet and reached the bathroom for a bath. After my bath, I walked out to a knock on the door. “Come on in.” Tightening the towel, I called. Agnes. The head of the maids. She was the one who walked in with a smile and a bow. “My lord. Good morning. I'm here to know what you would love to eat.” “I thought about it. “Good morning, Agnes. Anything would work for me this morning. But can you be fast about it? I don't have all day and am hungry.” I wanted the da
