MasukChapter 72: A Matter Of Time. ANNATORIA'S POV “Yeah, what?" He retorted. I could feel his heavy stare on me but, the confidence I once had to look into his eyes was gone. It was far gone. “You're looking elsewhere. Look into my eyes," He said, holding my chin and tilting my head to face him. At least, he couldn't move my eyeballs even if he tried. “You ran because you were ashamed, right?" He questioned, making me look directly into his eyes. “As— Ashamed of what?’ I blurted, trying to defend myself but, I knew there was nothing to defend. It was the truth, Annatoria. You hid for two good years because you were ashamed of what he'd think of you since you broke the law first. “That's it! There's nothing to be ashamed of, Annatoria. Do you know how I felt? Do you know what you made me pass through?" He asked, the pain was more evident in his voice. I drew my eyes to his, as tears filled them to the brim. What could I do to comfort him? I fucking had no idea. My sha
Chapter 71: Asher Is Back!Annatoria sat in the half couch, her eyes trailing the edges of the window opposite her as the reflection of the sun kissed her skin. She'd grown more beautiful, confident, stronger and powerful. The past two years had been busy years for her and she had only moved from one conference or business meeting to another. It was either a meeting with a top dermatologist or researcher or a meeting with the international shifters. Both in the human world and in the Shifters’ world, she'd grown bigger. She set up her brand which was travelling around the world. She opened up a cosmetics’ brand and the rate at which the business was growing was unexpected. Over 13 popular cosmetics brands in 6 different counties including top dermatologists had also partnered with her. She was now a full time business woman and she had very little time to manage her pack. She only went there on urgent days and even at that, the pack was still functioning well. Since she fuck
Chapter 70: The Right Time Two Years Later Nyx reclined quietly on a worn-out couch, her appearance noticeably frail and disheveled as she nursed with care, the small child nestled in her arms. Her complexion, once radiant and as flawless as fresh cream, had now lost its luster. The glow that used to define her beauty was gradually fading, and she fully understood why. It was the price she paid for motherhood. Every woman who became a mother had to give up something meaningful—whether it was sleep, time, or in Nyx’s case, her beauty. That was what her new role had taken. “Amaya has been feeding well lately, hasn't she?” Mother Veer inquired gently, extending her hands to carry the small pup from Nyx’s sweaty arms. Nyx passed her child to the older woman with a soft, reassuring smile and a subtle nod in agreement. The little girl had grown noticeably—her cheeks were full, her limbs plump, and she bore an unmistakable resemblance to her father, whose identity remained a secret
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 sh
Asher had always wanted to tell her how he felt but, he kept waiting for the right timing and now, he felt it was the right time to let her know how he felt towards her. “Are you ready, Kian?" Asher asked his wolf, just as he and Annatoria pulled apart. They'd hugged for minutes. “I….L”He began but there was no need to keep talking when her phone rang. "What!’ She exclaimed happily after minutes of hearing the caller speak. It was from her hospital. “Moon is better now, Asher” She smiled, heading towards the outside of the house. "I'll take you in mine," Asher said with a playful bow. “You never want to be serious, do you?"She scoffed lightly. "Your palm,” She said, observing the bandage wrapped around his hand but, he hid his him and behind him."What happened to you?” " It's nothing, I'm fine” He smiled almost normally. "No. What happened?’ “I mishandled my Father's sword. It was a mistake" He lied to her. Annatoria took it, with a scoff. “How could you be so careless?”
Chapter 67: The Future Is Coming. “I order you to be mute!” He commanded furiously. His voice had already changed and he was sounding like the Beta he truly was. Katherine's eyes shone in shock as she heard his thunderous voice for the very first time. She was shocked that she shrunk in fear, forgetting she ever liked him. "Leave and never come back to fool yourself before me” He said in the same tone. It was casual yet, authority-filled. ***Manga stood before his mirror, examining every single feature of his face. His well-carved jaw and the terrible scar left on his face by his wicked Uncle who he once loved—the one who had left him holding onto a thin line of life. Things were no longer working the way he planned. He once used to be the most feared and powerful Manga but now, no one even remembered his name. He'd become as useless as a rag no one regarded. He couldn't go out in broad daylight just to avoid being attacked. As a wolf, he was powerless and even as a human,
