~Liam~
My mate and my sis engaged in a conversation between them. I wished I could see her face. She seemed to be more relaxed with Lexy. I guess that was normal – she saved her life.
We soon reached a dirt track road, and three black SUVs were parked, waiting for us. Three of my men, all of them wearing casual clothes, were standing in front of the driver’s side.
“Gale!” Lexy exclaimed the moment they came into view.
The kid standing in the center who looked to be in his early twenties, with reddish-brown hair accented with pink highlights, smiled and waved to us. He walked over to us and stopped in front of Anna.
“Luna,” he said with a wide grin on his face. “I’m glad to finally meet you. I’
~Liam~“You got lucky,” Gale said as he drove.“The Goddess mated her to me,” I replied. “Luck has nothing to do with it.”“If you say so. Have you told her about her yet?”“No.”“What? Didn’t have the time?” he asked. “You’re going to break her heart, man.”“Break her heart? Have you been watching those films again?”“Like I have a choice,” he muttered. “She shut you up good though, that’s a first for a long time now.”The one person who could instantly calm me down when I snapped was my first mate. She was a kind soul, and she wouldn’t let me end up in situations that I’d later regret. My light – she was taken from
~Anna~So, we were finally here in hishome, the Red Claw Pack. The car we were following pulled over and so did we,in front of what I would describe as a castle-like mansion! The gray stonewalls of the exterior coupled with the white window casings of the tall glasswindows and light blue-gray shingles gave off an air of elegance and style. Myeyes widened slightly at the sight of his abode which was bigger than back atmy old pack.I turned to him and blurted, “You live here?”The smile on my face disappeared. He was looking aheadwith a serious expression on his face, not answering me. Gale wasn’t saying athing too and that was when I realized that the atmosphere had suddenly gotte
~Anna~ I blinked a couple of times as my mind tried to understand the sight in front of me. She was clinging to my mate, the man who had just kissed me and told me that I was his Luna. The man I just made a promise to be worthy of. And he was letting it happen.They appeared like long time lovers, completely comfortable in their public display of affection, and I couldn’t look away. I could hear her giggling, and they seemed to be engaged in a conversation, in their own world. And I felt a pang in my heart.“I’m sorry,” said Gale, and I replied with a hmmm.“He has no choice,” he said.Liam started to walk towards the castle with her still clinging onto him, and I remained frozen in my seat as I watched them disappear past the t
~Anna~Lexy pursed her lips and lookedat Gale.I heard him sigh and said, “Don’t.”“Why not?” I shouted in his direction. “I deserve to knowwhat’s happening! Why is my mate engaged with someone else? Why didn’t you tellme?”“How could you keep this a secret from me, Lexy?” I asked,looking at her through tear-filled eyes.“I’m sorry,” she said, bowing her head. “If you knew, youwouldn’t have agreed to come with us.”“What am I even doing here then?”“You’re our Luna,” Gale said in a matter-of-fact tone. “Hetold you himself and it’s the
~Liam~I’m lying in bed, trying to get my mind off the flash of pain I saw in her eyes. I caused it, and now guilt was eating at my conscience. I had no choice but to hide the truth from her. I couldn’t tell her, and her ignorance would protect her. As long as she didn’t know more than what she needed to know, I could keep her with me.Gale understood, and he would keep Lexy in check since she was easily carried away with her emotions and morality. I hoped to listen in on them, but Salina found me. After she screamed my name, anyone would.Fuck. Cruel mate. She seriously kicked me down there, twice, in one day! I deserved it, but our future generations didn’t.A chuckle escaped me. My fiery Anna – sh
~Anna~ A week went by and I’d say it was a success on my part – I’d been avoiding Liam and his fiancé, Salina. Most of the time, I was cooped up in my room, playing arcade games on my phone while waiting for Lexy to get off her shift at the pack clinic. When Gale had free time, he’d come over with Lexy and we’d spend our time chatting about anything or watching films. Other times, I’d take a stroll outside – I didn’t dare visit the pack, so it was just within walking distance from the castle. Still, without anyone’s knowledge, I would sometimes sneak into the woods.This territory belonged to the Red Claw pack – surely, there would be no surprise attacks or rogue attacks with the Alpha here. It was peaceful in the woods, and I didn’t bother wo
~Anna~My back hit the ground, but that was all I felt – no sharp teeth on my skin, no thick slobber. Then I heard another growl, heard a heavy thud, followed by a whimper. I opened my eyes and to my left I saw that a new wolf had come from nowhere, baring his teeth at the rogue, who was lying to his side, bleeding from his neck.I quickly got to my feet, preparing to sprint back, hoping the newcomer wouldn’t notice. It was a wolf with brown and black fur and unlike the rogue whose wolf looked malnourished and savage, this one looked stronger and more composed.The new wolf lunged for the rogue and I looked away. The image of the wolf ripping off the rogue’s throat – I didn’t want i
~Anna~I still hadn’t chosen which towear. Checking out every dress in the rack – knee length, backless, sleeveless,plunging neckline… they’re all so beautiful but I’d be too embarrassed to puton any of these and show off skin, especially in front of him. Sighing, l movedon to what else this closet had to offer.Apparently, when Liam told me not to bring anythingunnecessary, like clothes, he already had an entire wardrobe ready for me. I’dnever had this many to choose from before – didn’t know it was this difficultwhen one had more.As I looked at myself in the full body mirror, my eyeswandered into the stack of denim jeans and high-heeled shoes behind me.
