'She is a bad influence on my Anayka. I need to make sure that my mother could never do anything bad to my innocent daughter,’ Adele made a decision and hid Anayka from Betty’s view.
“If we are finally done with all the parting messages and farewell exchanges, then Mr. Driver, why don’t you hit the accelerator and start to drive the car now?” Adele asked impatiently and kicked the front seat.
“She is just like her father. So impatient and get ridiculously over herself. Please do not mind her rude behavior,” Betty comforted the driver so that he would not get offended by Adele’s actions.
“I understand, Madam,” The butler nodded his head.
Then he looked at his master for confirmation and once he got a signal, he drove the car away from the mansion.
Adele had noticed the interaction between Ernest and the butler. She huffed and shook her head in contempt. ‘This old man is no better than
“Orphanage? No! Who told you that? Yes, I and your father never spoke about our parents or our family members to you but we never told you that we were orphans or grew up in an orphanage,” Adele wondered.“I heard from Ashley’s mother, Erica. She told me after they killed you… I mean after you disappeared suddenly…” Anayka stuttered as it had always been very difficult for her to talk about that day.“My little girl, did you see anything happen on that day when I disappeared?” Adele held Anayka’s face and asked her while looking straight into her eyes.She hoped that they had not involved her daughter in all this mess. ‘She was hardly ten years old at that time. If they did use her then, I will make sure to show them all what hell means!’ Adele grudgingly thought.“I… I… Mom… I saw …” Anayka stammered and then her head started to ache.
“Don’t be so uncertain. Either Marlon did it or he did not. How can you have not known if it was him who tried to cause you harm? or not? Didn’t you spend so many years living with him? Can’t you read his character in that much time? I don't think Bernard's son would do anything like this.” Betty commented and went into deep thought about what she should taste next from the food samples.“Mom, when it happened, I was drugged. I didn’t know what was happening around me. All of the images were blurred and I could only recall Erica’s face clearly as she was standing very close to me at that time. Also, the place where I was taken resembled a glass cage. I never knew that such a place existed in Marlon's house,” Adele explained to her.And then after a pause, Adele continued to say,“After thinking about that incident, I highly doubt Erica might be a hunter. And if she finds out about my father’s and
Adele came near Anayka and whispered in her ears, “Go bring the driver too. He must also be hungry as well. It had been a long journey and we don't leave anyone hungry as a pack.”Anayka immediately rushed outside and brought the Butler into the restaurant. At first, the Butler denied to eat along with them but Anayka compelled him and finally, he agreed to eat a little.But the minute the food was placed in front of him, he ate more than Betty and made everyone speechless.Before leaving the restaurant, he said, “I hope I didn’t eat much and trouble you all.”Adele didn’t even know how to respond to him after she looked at the stockpile of plates on the table that was placed like a mountain.“No… No… Not at all, you eat very less compared to my mate, Faris. If he was here, he would have emptied the restaurant’s kitchen by now.” Betty patted his shoulders and comforted him.
“Mom, Don’t worry. I made sure that he won’t wake up for the next two days. But that's not important now," Ashley said and pulled her mother aside to a corner."If he is not important to you then who is? I don't understand at all. Do you even love him? Or are you making some plans to ruin your life just like me?" Erica asked while moving along with her.She then whispered in a low volume, "Mom, that's enough. I know you are not happy with how my father is behaving with you after he used you. You chose the wrong person to put your trust in. I am not like that. Henry didn't have any lover or wife when I met him. He is still single and if I get married into their family, we can once again bring back our hunter heritage.""But Ash, we don't fight with wolves anymore. They live among us and we don't make a big deal out of it, unlike olden times. There are also a few hunters who got married to wolves according to our tradition or even left our clan t
'Where did he go? He was here just a few minutes ago,' Drake jumped on the tree and tried to push it down.But it would just not budge an inch. Marlon's scent was exactly on that tree and there was no way a tree could have eaten him alive. He circled the tree and even lifted his legs to pee on it.At that instant, he heard muffled voices coming from below the earth. He placed his ears on top of the ground to hear it clearly but then it stopped.“Didn’t I tell you, he would be helpful? Look at him, he came to help us without lazing around in that big mansion.” Bernard said and came out of his hiding.“I don’t know how useful he will be for us. I was thinking that he would be caught by Marlon as he was following him too close earlier,” Faris commented and jumped in front of Drake.Drake saw them both and tears rolled down his eyes. He leaped on both of them and rolled on the mud ground happily.“
Bernard didn’t react and looked at Eunice with expressionless eyes. He felt as if it was unbelievable to see her standing right next to him. He was so afraid to even touch her and he thought,'What if she disappears once again and I can't see her beautiful face ever again?'He had been wanting to meet her for so many years but now that she is in front of him, he could respond to her properly. All of this seemed like a dream to him. The past when they had stayed separately from each other for so long had never happened.To be precise, for him it looked like she never left him. His throat got dry and he became thirsty. Thirsty for her. He stared at her lips and lost his mind for a second.As Eunice didn’t get any response from Bernard as she expected, she let go of him awkwardly.She looked straight into his eyes and asked, “What? Do you also think that I look so old now? or did you get another mate to ..."But before she cou
Drake stomped on the shirt with his feet and said,“I don’t want to wear it. So, I am not going to wear it. Didn’t you say some time ago that covering one’s private part is necessary if we are in the city? I did put my pants on to cover my wolf part… I mean... I did cover my human form’s private part."He pointed at his manhood and then uttered,"So, I think that should do enough to stop me from going to prison. Now can you stop forcing me to put on any more clothes? It’s too fuzzy and makes me uncomfortable. What's wrong with being in our birth form? Aren't we all born like this? Why do humans even wear something like these intolerable things especially clothes and jewelry, I really don't understand!”Drake complained and slid on the ground as standing for so long had made him too tired. He laid on his back and gazed at the starry sky. He saw the round full moon and howled while dreaming about Anayka.
“Who is this sweet little boy?” Eunice asked as she looked at his broad chest with interest.“He is our granddaughter’s soulmate. His name is Drake and the clan leader's grandson. we will be going to stay in their forest for the time being,” Bernard informed her.“Who said so? I have not approved him as my granddaughter’s soulmate yet. He still has a long way to go,” Faris muttered and scrutinized Drake with his eyes.He then kicked the front seat in which Drake sat to satisfy his disappointment. Drake didn’t complain about that, and instead, he looked at Eunice and said,“Grandma, it’s nice to meet you. If you are not with grandpa, I would have never thought that you are actually Anayka’s grandmother. You look so young, even younger than my cousin, Joyce.” Drake said in honey flowing tone and blinked his eyes at her innocently.“Ahh… Such a cutie pie,&
