Alpha Ezra’s Little Witch Thirty five
EZRAFor the next week and a half, Annabelle and I settled into a comfortable routine. Our mornings began with breakfast alongside the twins, followed by riding my car to work together, where we'd slip into our professional roles as boss and employee. After a day of work, we'd ride home together, share dinner with the twins before retiring to my office. There, I'd work late into the night — or pretend to— while waiting for Annabelle to come with freshly brewed coffee. And we would talk, our conversations flowing effortlessly until the early hours of the morning.At first, I was reluctant to admit it, but as time passed, I began to look forward to those late night hours in my office. I liked talking to Annabelle, too much, and getting her inputs on some business matters even if she gave it after a lot of gentle prodding from me. I liked the way her eyes sparkled when she talked about the latest novels she was reading. Just because she was so interested in my life and getting to know me

EZRAJust as I was about to either ignore her or play dumb, Annabelle rose from her seat and letting the blanket that was wrapped around her shoulders drop to reveal her pink pajamas, she circled my desk and came to me. I gently pushed my swivel chair from my desk to create room for her to stand in front of me.She was saying as she sat on my desk directly in front of me. Her green eyes were sparkling brightly, “Everyday you keep staring at my lips when I speak,” I hadn’t thought she noticed. After all, I thought I was being subtle. Still, I arched one bushy brow, not willing to give in to temptation. I liked the way our relationship was at the moment. Adding kissing would lead to sex and sex would lead to complications.“Who said me looking at your lips means I want to kiss you?”She raised her brow too, copying my action, “Who said looking at my lips means you do not want to kiss me?” After her question, she swept her tongue over her bottom lip, the action slow and deliberate, ca

ANNABELLE “What do you think of this design, Ma chérie?” The woman in front of her asked, her voice thick with a heavy French accent as her workers held out a bright red gown for me to see. My breath caught as I walked closer to the gown and grabbed hold of one end. The gown was a ravishing red. It was silky with a strapless design that showcased a fitted boned bodice that crunched at the waist. It also had a subtle sheen that caught the light as it was held out. The material was soft and silky, I could almost envision how it would feel against my skin as I walked through the halls of the ceremony. “I like it.” I said as my lips stretched into a wide smile, “No, allow me to rephrase that. I love it. It’s so beautiful,” “Good. Good. I made it specially for you. I was ecstatic when Alpha Ezra reached out to me that he needed me to sew a gown for his fiancé,” Colette waved her workers off and they moved away with the gown. “When did he contact you? How did you sew the gown quickly?

“When is the perfect date to announce my engagement?” I yelled as I walked into my father's house to meet my parents who were sitting in the living room. They both had their backs to me, their arms wrapped around each other as they watched the movie playing on the big screen television.Both of them jumped at the sound of my voice before turning their body to look at me. Surprised showed on their faces but it quickly morphed into delight as they both got up and held their arms open.I rushed forward, circled around the sofa and threw my arms around them, hugging the both of them together.“We did not expect you to come home tonight,” my mom said when we finally separated after a few minutes of holding each other.“I wanted to surprise you both,” And it was true. I did not tell them that I would be coming home and attending the mating ceremony tomorrow with them.“Eh? We are really surprised,” I saw worry in my father’s eyes that he was trying to cover. I knew there were a lot of quest

ANNABELLE I hate this ceremony and everybody in attendance. I folded my hands across my chest but when my mother shot me a scathing glare, I quickly dropped it with a huff. Since we arrived a few hours earlier, I’ve not been able to sit still — mother has had to tap me a couple of times — and I never knew that forcing a smile could be so hard until I had to do so today as I walk around, greeting and getting introduced by father to other alphas and their children.“Annabelle has grown into a very beautiful woman,” One alpha Isaiah told my father with a patronizing smile, “My son is yet to meet his mate. I’ll be handing over the pack to him on his birthday in two months. I’m sure he and Annabelle would make a nice couple. What do you say, Alpha Knight?”“That’s left for Annabelle.” My father responded, returning alpha Isaiah’s smile, “This one is stubborn. I cannot force her to anything she does not want,”“Ahh that means she’s just like you when you were younger. You were so stubborn

ANNABELLE One, two, three… dances in a row, I remained on the dance floor, lost to the sound of music and reluctant to leave. After my dance with Joshua, another alpha son approached me for a second dance and then another young alpha came to me for the third one and by then, I was enjoying myself and had forgotten all my sorrows and the fact that Ezra was ignoring me.“May I have this dance, ma’am,” another man, whom I don’t even know appeared once I was done with the young alpha. He bowed like a gentleman and held out an open palm to me.With a small laugh, I said, “Yes,” and allowed him to wrap an arm around my waist.“You’re so beautiful. This red dress really suits you and compliments your skin tone,” he said once we began to move to the flow of the song.My eyes stung with tears at the compliment. Even if it was not him I wanted to hear it from, it would do. But why couldn’t it have been Ezra who complimented me? After all, he got me the dress.I felt him before I saw him. The h

ANNABELLE “The fuck is wrong with you?” I growled at Ezra as he grabbed my waist in a firm hold and refused to let go as I struggled. My body was stiff in his embrace as I fought hard to ignore his mouth watering scent and how right it felt to be in his arms, and even if I did not want to move, I had no choice. “Keep quiet and dance. People are watching,” he said, looking over my shoulders as we slowly dance. I knew that anybody looking at us right now could see the tension.Through gritted teeth, I snapped at him, “If you care so much about not making a scene then you shouldn’t be forcing me to dance!” “I wouldn’t have had to force you to dance if you came willingly,”“And why should I do that? You spent so much time ignoring me tonight, I wonder what Jennifer would say if you saw us dancing together,” I cursed in my mind as I said it. He finally stopped looking over my shoulder and his eyes that held understanding met with mine.“You’re jealous,” he said.I snarled at him, “I’m

ANNABELLE “Drop me down you stupid caveman,” I yelled, thumping the hard muscle on his back with my closed fist, “Let me down,”I continued to scream and hit his back as he kept on walking to wherever it was that he was taking me to. There was a sting on butt, it shocked the hell out of me that for a second, I froze and then, I was consumed with anger.“You did not just hit me, you bastard,”“You can hit but I can’t?” He asked.“I would not have had to hit if you did not pick me up,”“Semantics,”I was just about to curse him when he rounded a corner and dropped me down. I immediately tried to walk around him to escape but it seemed like he already anticipated it because he grabbed my neck, his hold tight yet not tight enough to block my air flow. My mind quickly flashed to different dirty things that I had no business thinking about at the moment.“Let go of me,”“No,” he told me as he wrapped his free arm around my waist to drag me close to his body. Even with our clothes between

ANNABELLE“No, honey, you aren’t sure. You don’t just want to admit that there are many things that've been happening right under your nose that you’re unaware of.” I cocked my head to the side, making sure that I was focused on him. I wanted to see every emotion that filtered across his face.“Carden had been bullying the kids and I think they did not tell you because they did not want you to feel bad for having yours since they know that being a hybrid is unacceptable. And also, he threatened to expose them to the world if they told you. He was also going to kill you and take over the pack with the help of …” with my eyes still on Ezra, I pointed at the elders running around in the throne room, “Your believed elders. Them,”Something hard flashed in Ezra’s eyes as he glanced away to look at his elders. “I know they are selfish and have been challenging me for years but they are not brave enough to try and take over my pack. It means they would have to fight me and kill me first. Th

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
