Anna followed Winston into the mansion which was about four-story high, she walked calmly behind him followed by the men that her father had sent with her. Winston, as if not bothered by the intimidating presence of the men who made no attempt to pretend to be friendly, especially after all that had happened outside, led them into the house. "This is the living room." He said as they walked into the family room which was large and modern, a 64 inches TV sat there surrounded by leather black sofas and chairs, and the living room looked very warm and cozy unlike the family rooms in the palace that had only a fireplace. The thought of that made Anna smile, she had always been a fan of warmth and family, and seeing a warrior pack that should be known for violence create something like this made her heart curious. "Does the whole pack come here to hang out?" Anna asked a little excitedly as she looked around, Winston saw her excitement but shrugged. "Used to, when the previous Luna was
Anna rolled on her bed for some time satisfied with the soft plush feeling of the mattress against her skin, her eyes caught sight of the door to her supposed walk-in closet. She stood up from the bed, taking off her shoes in the process, and walked barefoot across the rugged carpet towards the closet, she opened it and walked in, nodding in admiration. It was more of a room than a closet, though not as large as the one she owned in the palace, it was just perfect. Not that she even cared if it wasn’t good enough. She looked at the various hangers neatly arranged without a speck of dust on them and wondered if no one had ever used the room. She then walked out of the closet, stood in front of the vanity, tilted her head, and made faces at herself before giggling and walking away, she headed to the fireplace and crouched down staring at and her mood dampened a little. She loved to sit in front of the fireplace in the family room in the palace with her father while she listened to
Winston and Archie walked away from Anna’s room on the fourth floor, down the stairs to the third floor silently, neither of them saying a word to the other. Winston finally came to a stop in front of one of the numerous doors that lined up the brightly lit corridor of the third floor.“This is your room,” Winston said and Archie sighed and walked towards it without saying a word.Winston watched him place a hand on the doorknob, about to go into the room, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.“We are not bad people, you know.” He said and Archie stopped at the door, he turned around to look at Winston with a frown on his face.“I know you care about the princess, in fact, I have begun to do my findings about the princess from the moment I found that the Luna was going to be her, and I know you have been protecting and taking care of her since she was a child. I cannot promise that we are going to treat her as perfectly as she is treated in the palace, but I promise she would
“Avi?” Erika was a little surprised to see Avi standing in the middle of the room shrieking. On a normal day, Avi was either at the arena, training hard or supervising the training of the young she-wolves at this time of the day, so why was she here? “What is going on, what are you doing here?” Erika asked again.“Don’t you think I should ask you that? You are giving my room to the princess?” She asked with shock but Erika was equally shocked as was Anna and the remaining women.Anna looked at other women and then Erika, “This is your room?” She asked with a frown.“Are you deaf? I stated that clearly just now.” Avi fired back and Anna was taken aback. Was there any need to be rude, she had just arrived here, and she was asking a question with a clear heart, why did it seem like this woman hated her already? She wondered, then sighed, of course, she would, she was the other woman after all. But why was she giving her room? Anna pondered, feeling a little troubled. Erika, however,
"Myron!" "Myron!"Avi yelled angrily as she followed after Myron who ignored her as he walked down the stairs towards his office. He had been ignoring her frantic calls since he left the room but it only made her more irritated."Myron!" She shouted again, fuming with anger and this time Myron couldn’t take it anymore. "What?!” He turned to her, “What is it, Avi?" He glared at her, Avi was a little surprised to see the anger on his face. Myron had never been this angry with her, even if he was mad, he never showed it on his face. Just like this morning, when he felt unhappy at her introducing herself as his mate but now he looked really mad. Why? Because of that woman? He was mad at her because of that woman? She wondered and knew, she couldn’t act rashly at this moment or he would unleash his wolf and force her to obey his orders and she was sure his orders would not be good. Avi was not a fool, if there was anything she had noticed in the five years of her being mates with Myro
Anna stared at the sleeveless deep blue gown she wore with a pair of silver heels in the full-length mirror, she turned left and right while smoothing out the gathering of the dress and looking her appearance over. It was one of the few dresses she had brought over and even though it was a simple dress, it accentuated her thin figure perfectly.She glanced at her already brushed hair, smoothened it down, and adjusted the curls at its tip before walking out of the walk-in closet. She had chosen another room at the far end of the hall on the fourth floor, making sure it was far away from Myron’s room to avoid any form of trouble in the future. Even though it was not as big and as elegant as the previous one, it had a balcony facing the thick forest that surrounded the blood moon pack and that was a relief as it meant more alone time with nature, but it was a little too dusty when they found it. Due to the situation of the room, Erika had forced her to stay in the previous one until i
Anna rolled over on her bed, groaned, and covered her eyes with her palm, shielding her eyes from the morning sun that shined mercilessly on her face through the curtain gap in the window, she opened her eyes groggily feeling very tired and sleepy as she stared at the ceiling blankly. "My Plants!" She exclaimed suddenly and jumped out of bed onto her feet, throwing away the bed covers in the process and rushing out of her room in nothing more than the cotton night dress that she wore before going to bed last night. She stopped short on the corridor and blinked twice at the unfamiliar surroundings, she looked around, still not remembering where she was or how she got there. She walked forward barefoot scratching her slightly itchy and messy bed hair, her mind still foggy from sleep. She came to a stop at the top of the stairs and looked down sleepily, just at that same moment, Myron, who was running up the stairs drenched in sweat from a morning routine workout, stopped short in his
Breakfast was as uneventful as it had been the previous night, other than Erika and Winston who joined them halfway through it, no one else came. Erika chatted nonstop, while the others listened and commented once in a while to her, no one missing the sight of Winston carefully selecting her meals and watching over her in a loving way that could make any woman envious. He carefully told her to eat slowly whenever she chewed too fast, and to finish chewing before she spoke, whenever she spoke with food in her mouth, causing Anna to smile at them. This was the life she had imagined for herself, a life filled with love, laughter, and the care of her mate, just like in the fairy tales she had read, but instead…, she glanced at Myron, who did not even say a single word to her or anybody as he ate and sighed. If he was mateless, then maybe she would have tried to make them work, after all, he was handsome and all, but there was a mate, and the thought of her existence was like a cloud ha
