ANNABELLE

“Ahhhh!” The assassin's anguished cry was muffled by the mask covering his face as flames engulfed him. He frantically tried to extinguish the fire, but it only seemed to grow stronger, burning brighter and more ferociously by the second. Panic set in, and he stumbled wildly around the room, his screams for help reduced to desperate, garbled cries. Axel had also woken up by now because of the disturbance.

I sat frozen on the floor, transfixed in horror as the assassin's body erupted into flames. The twins' screams were distant and indistinct, their voices muffled and faint, as if they were calling out to me from a far-off place.

As the assassin's flames-engulfed form stumbled wildly around the room, my eyes widened in horror. Still on the floor, I moved backward, my hands flying to my mouth as if to stifle a scream. My mind reeled, struggling to comprehend the chaos unfolding before her. The sound of the twins' terrified wails was a background sound, but my gaze remained on

    ANNABLLEI drew the kids to my front and knelt before them so that our faces were on the same level. They’ve calmed down by now but the knocks were still loud and I could hear one of the maids asking the other to get the spare key for the room. It made my hands shake as I packed it on the twins’ shoulders.Axel had tears and snot running down his face while Dani’s eyes were red and puffy. They’ve visibly calmed down and were no longer crying loudly. They had their eyes on the floor. “Look at me,” they rushed their heads immediately, “Both of you have to calm down. I’ll take care of everything but you cannot tell anybody what happened here tonight. Just got with whatever story I tell them, okay?”I expected them to argue but they nodded and loved to sit on Axel’s bed where they wrapped their arms around each other. I did not know if it was fear that made them both obedient, maybe they were scared that I would burn them down. I could feel my staunch twisting but now was not that turn t

    ANNABELLE Axel remained with me until the maids left after scolding Dani and taking the lighter from him. Thankfully, they did not catch the whiff of the smell of burnt flesh because they had been too worried about the kids and cleaning things up.Dani knocked on the bathroom door where Axel and I were sitting on the floor.“You can come out now. They’ve gone,”I rose up and dragged Axel up with me before we both stepped out.“Thank you. You did very good,”“Really?” Dani asked, beaming at me, his eyes shining brightly at the praise.“Yes. You saved me,”The smile vanished from his face and his brows furrowed in a frown. “No, we should be thanking you instead. Axel and I would be dead by now if not for you. That man was sent to kill us, was he not?”The kids were smarter than anybody would give them credit for, especially Dani. I was trying to protect them from seeing the man but it was too late. They not only saw the man that was sent to kill them, they saw me kill and burn him dow

    ANNABELLE My body moved faster than my brain. I grabbed the kids hands in mine and rushed out of the room before the fire alarm would start blaring again like that night. I was not going to take chances because this was not just any regular person we’ve set on fire, this was Carden, Ezra’s Beta.I made them follow the back door out of the house to the second garage there. It was usually quiet with nobody roaming around there like the main house and garage. “Get in the car,” I made them sit at the backseat of the car Ezra gave me to make moving around easy, and buckled their seatbelts then I got in the driver’s side and drove off.Five minutes on the road, Dani broke the silence. He sat up on his seat as if trying to stare out through the windscreen, “Where are you going to?”“I…” I picked my lips as I glanced at them through the rear view mirror, “I don’t know.”“Okay,” he accepted and sat back with a blank expression.My head was blank too as I was still trying to articulate and wr

    ANNABELLE The twins who were standing outside of the car squirmed uncomfortably in my arms for a while before they finally settled but they did not hug me back. I pulled away from them and saw the confusion on their little handsome faces.They did not know I was their mother. The woman who sacrificed a lot to have them and carried them for nine months in her stomach despite the hard situation I was in. Ezra was the reason. Because of him my kids did not know that I was their mother.I came down from the car and shut the door. I did not bother to check if the car had received any damage from the way it swerved off the road. I was more focused on the twins who were staring up at me with different emotions. “Anna. You are creeping us out. Are you okay?” Dani reached out a hand as if to touch my face, causing me to lean down, but dropped it before it made contact, “Your eyes are red and you are behaving strangely,”“Is it because you know we have powers like you? Do you not like us any

    ANNABELLE I drove around the pack for a little white. I could feel dark emotions crawling deep in my heart as I watched people move around, living freely and happily while my own people were in the ground, worms and maggots feasting on their bones and what would be their remains if they were even buried properly after we died in that fire.They all deserved to perish. They should all suffer like my people did. They also needed a taste of the suffering my people and I endured in the hands of their alpha. I would make sure they lived in constant fear. In torment and with diseases plaguing them, unsure and scared of who would drop dead next. My hands that were holding the steering wheel tightened, nearly snapping the thing in two if I hadn’t released it when I did.I would kill the twins just to torment their father and make him wish he was dead. What he fought so hard for, he destroyed my coven and so many others, would be lost but they were my children too. My blood. The children w

    “What’s going on?” I finally asked—feigning ignorance—drawing the attention of the elders to myself. They all turned to me and I could see the disdain on some faces while the others looked as if they were relieved to see that I was alive. “Why is everywhere crowded and why are the guards running around?”“Everything is wrong!” Elder Lazarus growled, turning his ire on me. “Where have you been? We’ve been trying to reach you! Are you with the twins? Where are they?” He looked over my shoulders as if the twins would magically appear behind me.“I’m not with the twins. Selene here tells me that the twins are missing, is that true?” My voice was shaking with fear.“If you are not with them then they are really missing!” Another elder said.“Why aren’t you with them? Of what good are you to this pack if you cannot take care of the alpha’s children? Is that not why he agreed to the alliance between your pack and ours? So that you will be a mother to them!” Alpha Lazarus was gesticulating wi

    ANNABELLE It’s been two days since everything changed. Two days since I killed Carden and regained my memories as Melucia. Two days since I took the kids and made sure they remained hidden.Ezra returned the night after the news broke, and after a thorough examination, Carden’s ashes were claimed by his family. Good riddance to rubbish.The pack was in chaos. Word had spread fast— their Beta was dead, and the Alpha’s children were missing. A reward of ten million dollars was offered to anyone who could provide information. A tempting sum, and one I could definitely use to set myself up once I got out of this mess. I was still working out how to play my cards right, to claim the reward without giving up the kids.“Fuck!”I had to fight the grin that threatened to split my face as I watched Ezra pace the throne room of the pack house like a caged lion. In just two days, he looked like he had aged twenty years.His hair hung in wild disarray around his face, and he hadn’t shaved since h

    ANNABELLE“L-Let go,” I managed to wheeze, my voice barely a whisper as I clawed at the hand clamped tightly around my neck. My lungs burned from lack of air, and tears blurred my vision.Ezra looked deranged, his eyes wild with fury. Instead of releasing me, his grip tightened.“My children are missing, and you’re still breathing. What use are you now?” he growled.“Al-Alpha… if you don’t release her, she’ll die,” one of the elders stepped forward, his voice trembling. I could smell the fear rolling off him.For a moment, I thought Ezra would ignore the plea and finish me off. But then, with a snarl, he released my neck and shoved me aside before stalking back to collapse into his throne.Air rushed back into my lungs, and I gasped desperately, my hands flying to my throat as I tried to soothe the ache and clear my airway.As soon as air filled my lungs again, laughter bubbled up in my chest—wild and uncontrollable. Before I could stop myself, it burst out of me, spilling from my lip

    ANNABELLEEzra’s face drained of color, if that was even possible, given how pale and hollow he already looked from days of hunger.I clicked my tongue. “They’re hybrids,” I said, shaking my head in mock disbelief. “Can you imagine how your pack will react when they learn their alpha slept with a witch, got her pregnant, and kept the babies? Other alphas will think it’s an abomination, too.”He snapped, “What they are is none of your concern!”“Oh, but it is,” I teased, stepping closer. “And you don’t need to answer my first question, honey. I can do that for you. Of course it’s an abomination. Your people hate mine and always hunted us down. They would all be angry when they find out. They would demand that you kill your children because their witch’s side might turn them evil and tempt them to take over all the other packs. They frankly, would be correct too because it would happen! I’ve seen their future already, it would surely happen!”“That will never happen!” Ezra hissed, clenc

    ANNABELLE“Then my life is yours,” Ezra said, dropping to his knees right in front of me and bowed his head in defeat.I struggled to mask the shock I felt within me and not let it show on my face. When I demanded his life, I expected him to act the way he did the first time I marched into his throne room. Defiant, arrogant and so sure he could bend me to his will. I thought he would refuse, fight back, or try to talk his way out of it. But now, it seemed he finally understood that I wasn’t bluffing. I wasn’t here to make deals or be swayed. I had made up my mind. I was the one in control now, and there would be no negotiating.Maybe it finally hit him when I killed Elder Matthew right in front of everyone, and then, without a second thought, used his bones to hunt down the other elders who were still scrambling around the throne room like scared animals. Bloody fools. They were strong werewolves. Old, but strong. If only they were smart as I thought, they could have used their stren

    ANNABELLE“You’re not Annabelle! Annabelle would never have done all these terrible things! She was a good woman who loved me and my kids!” he shouted, his voice laced with anger. It was as if he was mad that I would claim to be sweet Annabelle. Innocent foolish Annabelle who wanted his love. Oh, what I wouldn’t give to tell him that I was the innocent Annabelle. The real Annabelle would have never accepted to be with him and his kids. She wanted nothing to do with him. I hated that I was the good Annabelle! I hated that I fell in love with this vile man standing before me.I tilted my head slightly, a sly smile playing on my lips. “Oh? But you would have done even worse, wouldn’t you? Why do you think you’re the only one capable of evil?”His mouth opened, then closed. He had no response.I stepped closer, my eyes locked onto his. “You see, Ezra. Everybody has some degree of darkness in them and they only need a reason to let it all out. Oh wait, you don’t need a reason to be wicked

    ANNABELLE“Wow… such a lovely speech, Elder Matthew,” I drawled, a slow, mocking clap accompanying my words as I sauntered toward them. I stopped a few feet away. Close enough to unsettle them, but far enough to react quickly if anyone dared to make a move on me. I wasn’t foolish enough to trust that they wouldn’t.Ezra’s snarl cut through the tense silence. “How long have you been here?” he growled, his voice rough and tinged with a dangerous edge. His eyes flared gold, his wolf straining against the surface.Perfect.Ezra rarely let his control slip. Cold, calculating, and infuriatingly stubborn, he only acted when it suited him. The most he’d ever given me was the kiss to my feet, and only because he had no other choice and was desperate for answers at the time. He was a man who needed to believe he was the one making the decisions. Poor thing. He still hadn’t realized that no matter what choices he thought he had, I was the one pulling the strings now.I could see the battle ragin

    EZRAThe spell Melucia had chanted as fire consumed her whole still rang in my brain, a curse etched into the very marrow of my bones.“By the flames that take my flesh,I rise anew from fire’s breath.Your hate shall feed my wrath untamed,In death, I live, your souls I claim.As I burn, so shall you,From this pyre, my power grew.The smoke you breathe, the ash you tread,I will return, the unforgiven dead.My blood, my bones, your fuel to light,But in your dreams, I shall ignite.Curse your lands, your lives, your kin,From my ash, the dark begins.”The elders had spoken of it for years, laughing and saying it would never be possible since they watched her burn before they eyes and then they buried her remains with their hands. Even though I hadn’t been there the day Melucia and the last of her coven were burned, those words were burned into me and remained with me for all these years.“I will return, the unforgiving dead,”Her words, even now, echoed through my mind. This particu

    EZRA“Alpha, we need to do something about what’s happening in the pack.”I lifted my head slowly, my body heavy with exhaustion.“What am I supposed to do?” I asked, my voice coming out as weak as I felt, “I’ve tried to speak to the witch, all to an avail. She’s been playing with me, toying with us all,” The witch treated all of this like a game. The elders said they’d seen her watching my people suffer, laughing—no, cackling—as if their pain were entertainment. If only I could have strangled her when she came to me the other day then all of this would have been over but I couldn’t do it. Not when she had my kids with her. I shook my head, refusing to let the thoughts of my missing children cloud my mind. I needed to be level headed if I were to find a solution.“Then we find another way. Contact another witch and…” Elder Matthew stopped abruptly when elder Lazarus shot him a sharp, warning look. He looked away after that but what he said has gotten my attention already and elder L

    QuinnEven after I’d emptied the contents of my stomach, again, I still felt nauseous. My body trembled, my skin clammy and cold, but it wasn’t the sickness that had me this way. It was fear. Dread.Everyone knew Alpha Ezra was ruthless. Cold. Capable of things most alphas wouldn’t even consider. But if someone had told me he’d been involved in the war between the werewolves and the witches, I wouldn’t have believed it. No way. Not him. Not back then.That war happened over ten years ago. If what Madonna had said was true, he would’ve been nothing more than a teenager when it all went down. Eighteen, maybe nineteen. Still practically a boy. What the hell was he doing in a war between witches and werewolves?I rubbed at my arms, trying to shake the chill that had settled deep in my bones.Yes, I knew the bloodline he came from. His ancestors loathed witches, and his father—gods, his father was a madman in every sense of the word. But Ezra wasn’t his father. At least… I thought he wasn’

    QuinnThere was only one chair in my garden. One I use to sit when I needed to rest. I asked Madonna to sit in it but she refused and said if there was anyone who needed to bed seated, it was me. It made me suspect that whatever made her come to me after all these years apart, my mind would be blown.“I don’t know if you’ve heard anything. I cannot be too sure but BlackClaw pack has been taken under control by a vengeful witch,”“I’ve heard about it,” I released a deep sigh, “I was planning on contacting you because of it,”“You were?” She asked.“Yeah, I was going to do it yesterday but something came up. I was just thinking about it again when you appeared. It was almost as if thinking too much about you summoned you,”Madonna nodded as she began to pace in front of me. My sister was deeply troubled. Seems like what was going on in Ezra’s pack is more than what we’ve heard. My heart began to thud hard and fast against my rib cage as fear threatened to overwhelm me at the thought of

    Quinn With Nepthar back, there was a little delay in my plans to contact my sister and bring Annabelle back. It’s been a whole day since Nepthar returned and we’ve been dodging the question of where Annabelle was. Knight and I did not know how we were supposed to explain that we forced Annabelle to replace her to become Ezra’s wife because of our pack issues after her sudden disappearance but Annabelle tried to run away and had an accident that caused her to lose her memory. Nepthar would surely blame herself. She would think it was her fault but it wasn’t. If our pack was not in such a grave situation, we wouldn't have asked either of them to suddenly get married. I wanted them to find their fated mate like Knight and I did. I wanted them to have the freedom to pick who they wanted to spend the rest of their lives with. How was I supposed to explain to Nepthar that after her sister woke up from a coma and with a vacant memory, she suddenly wants to right all the wrongs and help t
