A broad smile appeared on Anna's face as the wind blew against her face, sweeping tendrils of her hair into her face. The wind was slightly chilly and Kraktos body felt warm against her skin as he sprinted through the forest, she clung onto him a little tighter enjoying the warmth of his furred body and subconsciously finding comfort from his scent. As exciting as the ride was, she couldn't see much, the forest floor through which they ran was dark, and the vegetation was sparse with large canopies of trees hanging over their heads making it even darker under the moonless sky, giving one the illusion of things lurking in the dark. Anna closed her eyes, pushing away all the thoughts and worries from her head, her homesickness curing in an instant letting her mind calm and allowing her to enjoy the relish of the ride. She didn't know how long Kraktos ran for or how long she slept for but halfway through the ride she slept off, by the time she woke up, the sun had begun to rise, it wa
Anna opened her eyes a few hours later, the day was bright and the sun was up in the sky, she sighed with lack of interest and sat up on her bed, just as she did, she heard a knock on her door and looked up. "Come in." She answered, the door opened and the only other person who seemed nice to her aside Erika walked in. She was Marionette, the omega in charge of cleaning her room. "Good morning princess." She greeted Anna, addressing her in the familiar way the omegas in the palace used to greet her, smiling as she stared down at Anna who was lying in bed. "Good morning Marionette,” Anna sat up, “I told you to stop calling me princess. Just Anna is fine." Anna chirped as she got out of bed and pushed her now loose hair away from her face. She walked towards the bathroom, while Marionette smiled without giving a response. Anna's scolding was the same every morning, whenever she walked in and greeted her with the title princess, Anna responded and informed her to call her by her na
The rest of the meal went uneventful, maybe for the others, but Anna was fuming and she couldn’t even explain why. Somehow, her eyes seem to always drift to Myron, and seeing him focused on Avi while they gave a public display of affection made her mad. Every time she saw them her heart clenched a little tighter, even her wolf snorted at them and gave snarky comments once in a while.Why was she like this? What was happening to her? She wondered with a frown and stared at her slightly shaking hands. Why was she so mad, she doesn’t even care about the Alpha. She had her own mate… The moment her heart went to her mate again, it clenched in pain and she almost felt like she was going to suffocate. She needed fresh air. She dropped her cutlery and wiped her lips, trying to act as calmly as she could.She stood up and left the dining room, walking out directly almost as if there was someone after her, not giving anyone a chance to say a word to her, she couldn’t afford to spend one more
Avi walked into Myron’s office and was a little surprised to see Myron staring out the window in a daze. His back looked tall, his shoulders broad but also lonely, almost as if the burden of the world was weighing him down, but he was still her man, she thought. Her mate, and she was the woman privileged to stand by his side."Hey, baby." Avi cooed as she wrapped her arms around Myron’s waist from behind, burying her head in his back and breathing in his scent deeply. Myron pulled away her arms from around him and stepped away without even looking at her, he walked back to his desk and started sorting out some letters. "You should be at the arena." He informed her in his usual detached way and she frowned a little wondering what was wrong with Myron. They had spent the night together last night and even though he was gone by morning he had still left a note informing her to resume her duties. This morning at the dining room he had been so nice to her, nicer than he had been in the
When Anna left the training arena, the first thing she did was rush to her room, on getting there she took off the jean pants to have a look at her scalded knee, groaning in pain as she did.It was worse than she imagined. The scraped knee was bleeding, so she went to the bathroom and washed off the excess blood, keeping it clean, then changed into a knee-length gown that could give her free movement without touching her knee's injury. When she was done, she went downstairs hoping to get a first aid box and apply something to her injury, as she did, she subconsciously rubbed her throbbing wrist which Avi had earlier pulled, and frowned at the pain she felt from it before looking at it. Only to see the markings Avi’s harsh pulling left behind. Anna sighed when she saw it making a mental note to apply some ointment to it. She looked left and right when she got downstairs but didn’t see anyone, everyone seems to always have somewhere to run off to or some duty to carry out the moment br
Anna opened the brown door that led to the library and walked in, looking around as she did, it was two-story high and filled with books to the brim making her a little surprised. For a warrior pack to have a library with this many books, they must have someone who loves to read, just like her.She sighed in relief, the fact that she was here calmed her turbulent heart a little, when growing up, she didn't have any friends or playmates other than the maids who worked at the palace and their children, but even they were either too busy to spend time with her or didn’t get close to her as they were separated by status, her sister who was supposed to grow up with her as a playmate and a best friend saw her as a threat to her inheritance, so she spends most of her time in the library or with her father when he was not working. When she was not tending to her plants, she was reading a book in the palace library, the silence of the library brought a calming effect that made her feel at hom
Kraktos had returned to the changing room the moment he walked out of the office and Myron was nagging. "Kraktos, you can’t do this, this is crazy, this is disregarding all the values and rules we set in the pack. This is messing everything up!" Myron shouted at Kraktos, he didn't understand what the hell Kraktos was doing. "Should I mark her instead?" Kraktos, who was taking off his clothes again, asked nonchalantly and Myron froze. "I am going to assume that is a no." He responded and bit his thumb, before smearing the blood over the seal then shifted. He grabbed a piece of cloth and seal in his mouth and ran out of the room towards the library. Anna, who felt abandoned, was shocked to see the wolf coming back and her eyes lighted up with happiness as she stared at him. "You came back!" She said and watched him drop the thing in his mouth in front of her, she bent down and looked at it then she frowned in confusion. "This... this is…" She looked up at the wolf in front of her
Collins had known Myron since he was a child, they grew up together as siblings, even though they were cousins. Collins' parents died when he was very young and since then he had lived in the Alpha's home and had grown up with Myron playing the role of his elder brother. They were best of friends with the mischievous Winston and had been training together since they were very young. But in all their childhood, Myron had always been passive to everything except his training as the next Alpha. When it comes to the pack, he followed the rules to the letter, didn't give room for any other opinions or thoughts, and never compromised. Even though growing up, this character of his was a worry to his mother who felt he would live a boring life, it showed the members of the pack how much of a good Alpha he would grow up to be. This character of his alone was one of the reasons why his position as the future Alpha had been undisputed since he was young. Seeing this same Myron now walk into hi
