“Did you really find your mate?” Archie asked Anna as he saw her out of the room, She stopped in her tracks and gave him a forced smile. In fact, she wasn’t really sure where she was with Collins, she knew she had no feelings for him, but he was also deliberately pushing her toward Myron instead of making an effort with them and Myron confessed to her... she was so confused about the whole thing right now.“Who is he?” Archie asked her and Anna looked at him. That question was the one thing she had wanted someone to ask her but now that Archie asked, she was reluctant to say it and she didn’t know why. Could it be that she was ashamed of Collins? True he was not as perfect as Myron but then he was not that bad, it’s just his indifference, “Why don’t we talk about him later? I need to go check up on Myron, he was pretty drunk earlier too.” She excused herself and hurried away after throwing him a fake smile.Archie stood in place and stared at her with a worried expression, all he co
A thousand miles from the Blood Moon pack, an off-road jeep drove at full speed past the ‘70m/hr.’ sign, the driver ignoring it despite traveling through the narrow road with lots of bends. Avi looked out the window of the passenger’s seat in which she sat staring at the pitch black greenery that surrounded the road, her mother behind the wheels. She had never come this far before in her life, she didn’t even know which territory this was or if the realm extended as far as here. She and her mother had been on a road ever since they left the pack three weeks ago in search of the witch, Sierra, which she wasn’t even sure they would find. Her mother had gotten a lot of clues from her acquaintance but even until now, there was no hope of finding the witch and all they had achieved on this journey was to go further and further away from the pack.Avi had a frown on her face. Right from the beginning, she had not been in support of this journey, she saw absolutely no reason for it, these
It was like walking down memory lane again, how could Avi forget that night? The night that changed everything in her life. Even if she didn’t remember it for how memorable it was, she would always remember it for how scared she had been. She had never been that scared in her life. The trees in this forest were similar to those except they didn't have the nightmarish appearance she had seen that night. She thought as she looked around the thick forest in which they walked. When they had seen the light from the building that didn’t seem to be far away, her mother had ushered her back into the car and they soon found a route that led there, except the place was not as close as they thought. Soon they packed their car and continued the journey there on foot. Her mother didn’t seem bothered at how significantly stressful all these were, come to think of it, she didn’t even seem bothered that night thirteen years ago when they went in search of Sierra either. Perhaps she had always been h
“What?!” Avi exclaimed. She couldn't believe what she was hearing, this would witch want her soul? Was she kidding her right now? She looked at her mother, was she hearing this? Wasn't she going to say anything?Nicole looked at Avi and frowned, even she didn't expect the witch to ask for something as serious as a soul. She felt the witch was just making things hard for them on purpose, maybe she didn't want to help them but even if she didn't want to help, she couldn't let go. She had to convince the witch to help. She couldn't let go of this desire.Never!“But… if she gives you her soul, how could she possibly be mated to the Alpha? She would die.” Nicole antagonized and Avi breathed a sigh of relief.She knew that her mother didn’t do it because she loved her but because she was the only candidate she had for the Luna’s position but still, at least she had enough sense to know that she couldn’t be a Luna if she was dead!“Oh, she won’t die.” Sierra gave Avi a taunting smile as if
Anna had a sweet smile on her face as she hugged the pillow on which she laid tightly, she slowly opened her eyes and stared at the scenery of the room in which she slept last night. She had a really good dream, one where she had been woken up in Myron’s arms and him bringing her breakfast in bed. After that, they went on a walk in the hidden garden together. It felt so nice. Her eyes cleared as she reminisced about the dream only to find out that she was lying in her room, not in Myron’s room where she had slept the night the previous night. Her smile dampened at the realization, she wished he could just let her wake up in his room with her by his side or in his arms. Wouldn’t that be so nice? She didn’t like the fact that he brought her here acting as if they had something to be secretive about.But then again, if he had brought her here when he woke, he must have watched over her too, just like he used to do those times when he came in the disguise of his wolf. She giggled foolish
Anna stole glances at the silent Myron from time to time as they made their way towards the dining room, he seemed to be wrapped up in his thoughts.“Are you okay? Did you sleep well?” She asked after a few minutes and Myron looked up at her with a frown, he didn’t understand what was wrong with her. She had rejected him and his feelings last night and now she was showing care for him? What was she playing at? Even if something had happened between them last night that he could not remember, was it enough to cause such a big change in her? Was she going to abandon her mate for him? Before he could allow himself to think too much, he felt a warm and soft palm on his head making him look up, a stunned expression on his face.“You do not have a fever,” Anna said with a smile as she stared into his eyes while standing on her tiptoe. “That’s good. I thought I would have to ask the cook for another bowl of hangover soup today.”“Hangover soup?” He asked“Yeah right, you do not remember, y
When she left the hospital, she went straight to the secret garden, spending the rest of her day there. Actually, that wasn’t her initial intention but she found that the rare middlest mist flower that she planted seemed to be dying after being abandoned for a few days so she spent the rest of the day nurturing it in the hope of saving the flower. By the time she was done with it, it was time for dinner, she looked at the darkening sky and sighed. Today wasn’t anything like she had imagined at all. Instead of getting closer to Myron, she felt they were drifting apart a few feet.Still, she hurried back to the mansion, but even when she hurried to her room, changed her clothing, and came down for dinner, Myron wasn’t there and neither were the envoys who had kept the mansion bustling for a few days. She stood in the empty dining room, her heart feeling hollow and she was not sure why, was it because the envoys were not there or because Myron was not there?“Is there a reason why the
Myron sat in his office and stared at the group of old men and women who had walked into his office bright and early this morning. He knew why they had come but he wasn’t in the mood to deal with them, he hadn’t slept a wink last night, and neither had he gotten any work done. All he had done was sit in his chair and stare at the tea and snack Anna had brought until dawn, even when the tea went cold and no longer emitted vapor he didn’t try to salvage it, he just stared at it. Even now, the tea was still sitting on his table untouched. It was barely six in the morning and the cleaners weren’t there to do their jobs yet but the elders of the pack had gathered in his office. He wondered if they were so excited to come to him that they couldn’t sleep. He glanced at the tea on the table and sighed. Not touching it had helped him conclude that he needed to stop coveting what was not his and could never be his. The thought of that was enough to settle his troubled heart and silence his di
