69. The Kiss

Chapter 69:The Kiss

“Hey Radolf, I never imagined myself stooping this low to reply to your texts. You know what? You only have the present, not the future.

I assure you that whatever your confidence developed from, I, Annatoria Hawkins, will bring it down. I'll make sure you're nothing before everyone, just as you are before me.

I'm happy here, away from you and your malicious lifestyle. I've gotten the happiness you could never give, the care you never showed me, and guess what??

I'm better off than you. I'm bigger, stronger, and greater.

Oh no! Don't cry, save the tears for later. Say hi to my son. Tell him mama loves him.

Ah! Why do I keep forgetting to tell you that the Annatoria you knew is dead….long gone, loser!”

She sighed after typing her reply, as she massaged her knuckles.

“Let me see your reply," Asher smiled, trying to peek at what she'd typed.

Everywhere was silent for a moment, and when she was done, she pressed the “Send" button and exhaled sharply, leaning back.

“I said I'll go back to him," Annatoria teased.

“What? You didn't say that, did you?" Asher shouted, his eyes shot out.

“Calm down. You know me," She smiled again.

“Espresso or Latte?" He asked Annatoria, getting up from the chair. He was probably going to grab coffee.

“No. I've begun to love Americano," She responded, but soon, she gasped in surprise as she remembered she hadn't gone into her room since she arrived from the Hospital— Veterinary home.

“You know Americano is no more than sewage waste, right?" Asher scoffed playfully.

“How dare you?! Iced Americano is a new therapy for me."

“Why? I thought I used to be your therapy." There he went again! Asher Henderson—with his rizz.

Caught off guard, she couldn't help but stare at him with her slightly parted lips. Her heart flustered as he said those words, with her eyes locked on his.

“Alpha," Someone approached them.

"H..uh…I..I changed my therapy.”She tried to gather her words, but it was as hard as….

It was very hard to deny his smooth moves.

“You have a visitor, Alpha. "The male servant bowed deeply.

A visitor?

“Who?” She asked in disbelief.

“She says she's from The Red Moon Pack, Alpha,” He responded.

Red Moon Pack?

Annatoria's eyes shone as she heard the servant talk.

Annatoria headed out of the room, heading towards the place where they receive visitors.

Her heels hitting the ground sounded as though she was trying to break the floor beneath her.

As she slowly approached the meeting room— the room where the visitors were waiting- she was nervous. A feeling swept through her as her eyes shut, then opened again.

She entered the room with a smile.

THE NEXT DAY.

Annatoria sat on her couch, flipping the pages of the magazine in her hand.

She was back to feeling casual again…she loved feeling casual.

“What exactly did Alpha Barry of The Red Moon Pack think of me?” She scoffed again, her eyes rolling hard.

"It's normal. I made sure that all the New Members who were accepted were brought out to him. At least, he saw it,” Asher responded.

The Alpha and Luna of The Red Moon Pack had arrived at The Scarred Wolves Pack yesterday, seeking a certain child of their kingdom whom they needed to meet and make atonement, according to the voice of the goddess.

Annatoria was lost again as she stared at his fine, kissable lips. She was lost, staring at him.

Girl, just accept it!!! You like him and you're so head over heels for him..

Her eyes were blinded by his charm. What was it again? His beauty. .

Asher was one fine man, with a nice body structure that a woman can't resist.

“Asher….” She said, breaking the silence, grabbing his hand as she moved closer to him, covering the space between them.

If what she was about to do was called ‘fucking up’, she'd do it without a second thought.

She could feel his breath on her as her lips crashed into his..

Asher's eyes shone as he caught his breath while she pulled away. Without settling to ponder, he grabbed her head and kissed her lips.

This was the moment he'd waited for…all his life!

The moment he'd always wanted.

Asher!

Annatoria!

They'd both wanted this moment, and finally, they got it.
