The pack, however, didn’t plan to allow Myron or Collins to fight for Anna either. Bright and early the next morning, every member of the pack had gathered under the instigation of the elders, and the pack hall was filled up. Anna looked at Myron worriedly as they dressed up. She didn’t know why they had gathered but she was scared, she didn’t want to leave him and she didn’t want him to abandon his pack for her either but she knew she could not convince him on this matter.“Don’t worry. It would all be fine.” Myron said as he walked to her and rested his arms on her shoulders. She looked up at him.“Myron, I’m scared,” Anna told him and he smiled sadly.“I know, but I am here with you. I would never leave you.” He assured her, took her hand, and led her out of the house. But she was not scared for herself, she was scared that after today, he would no longer be an Alpha anymore. He would lose everything he worked so hard to create. Her grip in his tightened.“Myron?” she called.“Hmm
Nicole smiled with contentment. How dare Myron think he can walk out of this easily? “Enough!” Myron roared and everyone shook with fear. “I am stepping down because I am ashamed to be an Alpha of a group of people who are more loyal to the traitors than their Alpha!” The pack members shared a confused look, not understanding what he meant but still feeling guilty at the same time. Myron didn’t care about them at all but turned to beta Dustin. “I only have some advice for you elder Dustin, I think my cousin Collins is the best for the Alpha’s seat but if Nicole doesn't agree to it, she might as well do what she pleases with the pack.” He said and everyone bowed their head in shame including beta Dustin. In other words, he was saying he didn't care about them anymore. Everyone was controlled one way or the other by Nicole and they knew it in their hearts. "I have no desire to be Alpha either, " Collins who had been silent the entire time finally spoke up, he glanced at Dustin and
The thunder rumbled as heavy rain poured upon the Blood Moon pack but the heavy rain did not affect the underground pack prison located on the far west border of the pack. The corridor was silent and empty as a warrior walked briskly towards a cell at the far end of the corridor. He knelt calmly when he arrived. It’s been three weeks since Myron left the pack with his mate and Collins left in search of his. Alpha Joel was busy and seemed to have no plan to settle the matter of the woman in this cell. With the look of this, it seems the plan was for her to rot in jail. “Delta Nicole! Delta Nicole!” He whisper-yelled and the woman with messy hair, a dirty face, and tattered clothes woke up from her slumber. She looked at the unfamiliar guard and wondered if the Alpha had finally decided to kill her, but his next words shocked her. “Miss Avi asked me to escort you out.” Her eyes widened, Avi? Avi came for her? She is still alive? What took her so long? “Hurry.” The guard whispered
[Thirteen years ago]Lightning struck continuously over the hill, lightening up the forest constantly, and making the scary shadows the canopy of the trees formed visible to the eye. The sky was pitch black as the moon and stars had been covered by the thick clouds that were to bring about the threatening rain.It was the perfect night to perpetrate evil, as the moon wasn’t there to bear witness, neither were the stars there to peek at the perpetrator and sure enough, there was someone to take advantage of the situation, as under the dark starless night and whirling wind, a woman dressed in black held an oil lamp in one hand and pulled a girl child of about seven with her other hand. The little child looked up at the sky as it lightened occasionally causing the hood she wore over her head to fall back making her face visible, her body shook in fear as the thunder rumbled on the horizon and she wanted nothing more than to crawl under the covers of her bed and have a good night sleep,
[Present day]Anna walked down the sturdy stairs of the castle in long khaki pants and a crop top, her preferred clothes for gardening. Her dark blond hair was tied up in a messy bun and tendrils of it fell on each side of her face in a pretty way. She held her tiny watering can in her hand, it was the one her father had given her on her last birthday, it was colorful and she loved it so much she had no desire to put it in the gardening supply room, instead, it returned to her room with her every night when the workers were done cleaning it, and returned to the garden with her every morning.She skipped down the stairs acting like a seven-year-old child, even though she was a young woman very well in her nineteenth year, shouting a cheerful good morning to the women who passed by her with a basket of clothes, obviously going to carry out their share of the morning chores. With every good morning she chimed, she got a smile as a reward, her light gray eyes mesmerizing them and causing
"Princess, you can’t go into the throne room dressed like this. The court is in session and all the members of the court are there." One of the guards manning the giant door that led to the throne room tried to explain to the furious Anna. "What do you mean I can’t go in dressed like this? I can go in, dressed however I like. I want to see my father. You tell him that I have to speak with him urgently." Anna said angrily. She couldn’t believe what was happening, her father was marrying her off to an unknown man, who wasn’t even her mate? What was he thinking? She wasn’t going to believe this, not until she spoke to her father and heard what he had to say about it. She looked at the guards who hadn’t made a move to let her in and her anger boiled.“Didn’t you hear what I just said? I want to see my father!” She shouted at them.“Princess Anna, the court is in session now and we dare not disturb. Please do not make things difficult for us.” The second guard told her with a stressed fa
Myron gritted his teeth and punched the bag continuously, he has been angry for days, no, weeks, even up until now, he didn’t understand how he got himself entangled in a royal mess such as this.All he had done was attend one royal ball at the palace. Not even desiring to interfere with the palace and the political drama of the realm, he had always left that kind of thing to his gamma, Winston, who was not only obsessed with the political life of those greedy men but was also in love with the large amount of information that he got his hands on. He as Alpha had never cared or stopped him because in truth, his involvement and his being informed, kept them and their pack on the safer side, and that was the only thing he cared about. But this time Winston had told him that he needed to come to the palace to attend that particular ball, he had told him that the king had been desperate to meet him and he knew why.Myron personally didn’t care about the king, yes, he respected and acknowl
"We are here princess." Anna heard Archie, her father’s most trusted man say to her and she looked up from her phone at the chocolate-colored walls of the mansion ahead of them then she sighed. They had been on the road for the past five days, and her father had made sure she left the palace with an entourage, stating something about her safety even though she had strongly refused claiming she only needed a single person to take her there. He didn’t listen and they had embarked on their journey and she must say, these men were particularly meticulous. There was not a time when she lacked anything. They knew where they would be resting each night and had already made a reservation at a hotel before they got there, her meals did not suffer or get later or earlier than what she got in the palace. In fact, it seemed more like she was on vacation than on a journey to a new life. Most of all her father sending Archie with her gave her a sense of consolation and a feeling of home, even th
