The news of the duel quickly spread across the Dark Edge pack and beyond, but the mere news was more unbelievable when they heard that a submissive female wolf was going to fight with a dominant wolf. Many bets were already placed on the fight and everyone thought they could foresee the results. After all, Giselle's prowess and strength were well known across the Great Landmark but not many people knew about Anna Knightley. When Catherine and Vivian heard about the news, they immediately demanded to see their friend and came to see her. “Anna, you are not serious about going to fight with Giselle, right?” Vivian gave her a concerned look before adding, “Every woman in the pack knows her character very well, she is the type of person who will do anything to win. What if she tries to kill you there?”Anna shrugged helplessly, “Then I guess I will have to perish there.” She rolled her eyes seeing her friends' appalled looks and spoke, “Oh, don't give me that look, Vivian. Now that me a
Anna had taken countless fighting lessons from her husband when she had been kidnapped by a savage wolf and she had been honing her skills with Ryan and the other guards in the pack. But she had real-life battles neither had she expected it to be this fast and intense. She could barely keep her life with each punch and kick directed at her so she had been forced into a disadvantage from the start. Giselle swiped a claw near her face, her eyes reflecting the sharp edge which caused the crowd to gasp in fear and anticipation. Anna could sense the vicious determination in Giselle's lightning-fast attacks to end her there but she was not going to let herself be pushed around like that. Anna ducked under another attack and instantly struck out her leg to clear her opponent's own to gain the upper hand. When she succeeded in making Giselle lose her balance, she jumped and planted a punch in her jaw. The dominant female wolf immediately crashed to the ground with a wave of dizziness. When
On a night of a full moon...Anna quietly watched the pack priestess performing a ritual in front of the entire pack. It was an important occasion that had drawn people from all four directions of the Great Landmark to witness. Her eyes followed her mate's every move as he assisted the priestess in her incantations but her iron-clad concentration was finally broken when she heard her friend arrive by her side. “Luna," Catherine placed a tray of fruits by her side and tipped her head towards the direction of the ritual taking place. “Is this really necessary? I thought Ryan had already welcomed your child to the pack already. Why did your mate suddenly summon everyone out of their houses for this impromptu ritual?”Anna shrugged innocently, laughing at the hint of complaint in her friend's voice when she replied, “You know how Kodiak is, Catherine. He wasn't happy about it when I told him last night and decided that he would hold another one.”“This is ridiculous!” Catherine mumbled q
What the hell?Anna was in full panic mode now as she gripped the bedsheets close to her naked body, wincing at the bright morning sunlight peeking through the windows on her figure. Unlike most people, she clearly remembered what she had done last night after getting drunk at a party, and that's what landed her in this mess. She had sinned losing her virginity to a stranger, but the worst part was, that this man was someone she could not afford to mess with!This person was the Alpha of the Dark Edge pack, Kodiak Cardinal. In the Great Landmark, the territory was mostly divided into four parts, North, South, and East and West. Kodiak Cardinal was the alpha of the Dark Edge pack which was in the south, while his twin, Zayn Cardinal, was the alpha of the Frost Fang Pack in the north. Those two and their packs were the most powerful and feared wolves in the entire region, unlike her Stark Pride pack and Iron Crest pack, which occupied the east and west respectively.Kodiak had storme
She stepped onto the high platform in the forest, almost cowering at the heavy dominance she could sense from the large crowd that had gathered around here tonight. Many important guests had attended this ceremony, mainly for Alpha Kodiak's sake, and it only added to the pressure she was feeling at the moment. Her Luna smiled warmly at her as she took a blanket and a set of clothes from another woman, placing them on the platform. She said to her. “Don't be nervous, Anna. Just remember your Alpha's words. You should do your duty as a member of the Stark Pride pack, so don't let us down.”“Yes, Luna.” Anna lowered her eyes at the same time she remembered her alpha's words listing the advantages of choosing Alpha Kodiak. Everyone wanted to use her situation to their advantage, but no one was worried about her heart. Once the Luna had left the scene, she began to feel the churning feeling in her guts and the uncomfortable, slow heat that spread through her body. She was filled with so
The next day…Anna refused to come out of her room after receiving the treatment the doctor had given her for her injuries. Her aunt, who had raised her, gave her a scornful look as she dropped the tray of food on the bedside. She hadn't taken a single bite when she heard another knock on the door a few minutes later. Tiffany entered the room and approached the bed with a concerned look. She gasped loudly in shock. “Anna, what happened? Is it true that Darius rejected you?”Fresh tears spilled out of Anna's eyes when she remembered the most horrible moments of her life. Everything was like a nightmare to her, something she wished she could wipe away from her memory. “Yes, Tiffany.” Anna sobbed despairingly. “Darius played me like a fool. He lied and deceived me. ”“I heard something today from my grandpa, who is a pack elder.” Tiffany looked around to make sure they were alone before she continued. “You know there are three states a wolf has, right? Normal, Rogue, and Savage.”“So?”
Anna tearfully packed her things into her bag with the help of her friend as she prepared to leave her pack. No one defended her this time, not even her aunty when they heard she was going to the Dark Edge pack. She felt very helplessly facing this mess all by herself with no one to help her. Most female wolves would rather slice their throats than endure such humiliation, so should she do the same thing right now? She was sure that her life in the future was going to be nothing short of hell, which made her wonder if she should just exit this world quietly…“The Dark Edge wolves are here,” Tiffany informed her, peeking through the window as the sunset glow shined through her bed. “I am so sorry, Anna.”“What about Darius? How is he doing?”Her best friend gave her an uncomfortable glance and turned away to stare at the wall as if she hadn't heard anything. Anna was about to demand an answer from her, but a deep, familiar voice responded instead. “He is getting married to his true ma
Anna later woke up in an unfamiliar room where she jerked up from the bed after she noticed she was naked under the blankets. She remembered she fainted when she was travelling with Alpha Kodiak but the rest memories were very blurry to her, she had no idea how she arrived here. Her eyes went to the orange sun setting in the west through her window. A knock on the door mysteriously appeared like an answer to her question, as an old woman walked into the room and placed a food tray and some clothes on the table. “Here you go. Alpha Kodiak said you must finish everything on the plate and come out immediately.”“Thank you.” Anna was famished as well so she did not hesitate to take the food being offered to her. Her eyes wandered around her surroundings before she asked the old woman. “Where am I?”“You are in DarkEdge territory.” The old woman gave her a side glance before she made her way to the door. Anna could sense her hostility so she did not bother to make any further conversation
