Anastasia's POV.“Get her away from me!” Lillian yelled as I pulled her hair aggressively. I was on top of her and she was resisting me from trying to rip her head off. I snapped my famgs at her but couldn't get a hold on her annoying face.A normal werewolf would've overpowered her now, since she wasn't in her wolf form. But I was just an omega wolf, my strength, and that of every other omegas, was nothing but baby-pushes.The dungeon door swung open and the sound of the guard's footsteps echoed through the air. He seized my arm with a firm grip, yanking me away from her with a violent force. I was sent hurtling across the room, crashing onto the unforgiving ground. My gaze burned with fury as I glared at Lillian, who stood behind the guard. I wanted to rip her apart for the shocking confession she had made. The thought of her mating with my mate was utterly overwhelming and unforgiving.“You see, you're nothing but an animalistic rogue! Do you think the Alpha will want something lik
Sirius’ POV.“Why would we just begin a trade chain with the Southland packs? I see no point in that”, said Elder Mahiz in protest.“Exactly, I do agree with him, Alpha”, Elder Surtur added.“I think you all are failing to see the benefits in this”, Duncan, or now Elder Duncan said calmly. Since his daughter became my Luna, he naturally assumed the role of an Elder. However, I was unsure why he decided to take on this responsibility instead of simply basking in the wealth and advantages that come with having his daughter as the Luna of one of the most powerful packs in the Westlands.“If we start this trade partnership with them, with their prominence and success in all kinds of trades, we'll surely be thrown to the top”, he explained in a calm tone.“You're right about their trade prominence, but what you're missing is that they're the Southlands, we barely know their trading patterns or even if what they trade is compatible with what we trade”, Elder Mahiz debunked again. Dun…I mean
Chi Chi's POV.I carried the bucket of water and poured its contents inside a larger bucket. Then I dropped the bucket, turned it upside down and sat on it. A deep sigh escaped my lips as I rested my jaw on my folded hand.I wasn't tired, I was just bored.“How on the Moon do I get to see Anna?” I mused sadly.“Those fucking rodents that call themselves guards won't allow me”. Ever since that fucking rodent of a woman was announced Luna on the Alpha's birthday, my spirit hasn't been at rest. What then had happened to Anna? Worst of it was that she hadn't even come to see me since then and I was worried as fuck.I heard tapping on the bucket I was sitting on. I sprang up, thinking it was the fat lady, here to scold me about not working. But I saw no one, except the other slaves performing their own duties at a distance.Thinking that I was just daydreaming, since I hadn't had a proper sleep in days, thinking about Anna. I sat back down on the bucket but then again, I heard the tapping.
Anastasia's POV.Chi Chi and I crouched down amidst the tall blades of grass in a nearby field, utilizing them as a disguise to avoid detection. Despite the pain pulsating through my back, I made sure that I remained as low as possible, knowing that my life depended on it . We had managed to travel a significant distance towards the entrance of the royal estate without encountering any of the patrolling guards, who appeared not to be at full alertness. It appeared that news of my escape had not yet reached their ears. But I knew it was only a matter of time before it did."Lower your stance, Anna" Chi Chi cautioned, tugging me down. Her instructions were causing my back to ache, but I knew better than to complian. As the leader in this, I knew it was only safe for me to comply with her commands.Although the royal gates were still far off in the distance, I could see the end of the vast green field. I trailed behind Chi Chi in silence, reassuring myself that we would soon be out of t
Anastasia's POV.Chi Chi knocked on the wooden door of the small hut for the umpteenth time, but the inhabitant had yet to open up. Impatiently, I sighed and rubbed my arms, which were almost freezing in the cold. As I had predicted, the storm had caught up with us. Chi Chi's friend's place was farther than I had thought, and the rain had beaten us for about an hour before we finally found shelter under the small shed in front of the hut."I don't know the reason for their delay. They are supposed to have opened up by now.” Chi Chi said. It was obvious she was getting impatient as well, it was written all over her scrunched face.I turned around, forcing myself not to hiss out of annoyance. I hope these people still live here.“What are you doing in front of my house?”I could swear on the Moon Goddess that I felt my heart fly into my mouth. I wrapped Cho Chi's arm in a tight grip.“It's me, Fiona,” Chi Cho said calmly. The smallish old lady before us looked up at Chi Chi and her eyes
Anastasia's POV.“Let us out of this place!" Chi Chi shouted at the top of her voice as she pounded the door with force. Despite the frustration in her tone, Fiona remained unresponsive. Was she even listening? Standing behind Chi Chi, I whispered prayers to the Moon Goddess, pleading for her help.“Fucking rodents!” Chi Chi cursed and, hitting her hand on the door one last time. She turned around, running her hand through her short black hair in exasperation. I was more than worried.“Wha–what are we going to do now?” I asked, clasping my sweaty palms together.“I don't know…” she responded in a tone of devastation.Our time was running out quickly. It was certain that the warriors from the royal estate would soon arrive and capture us. The thought of returning to the dreadful dungeon filled me with dread. The food there was repulsive, the stench was unbearable, and the constant presence of flies was maddening. The Nightshade pack surely do subject their prisoners to insufferable and v
Sirius’ POV.I sat in my high oak throne, anger and anticipation brimming my over consciousness. How would two slaves escape my confines? I am the ruthless Alpha of the Nightshade pack, this was surely a step on my name. I must make sure the news doesn't cross our borders. In fact, I mustn't allow my own pack members to hear of it.I tapped my fingers on the handles of my royal-like chair, the sound of the rhythmic ticking of my nails rented the air.I was patiently awaiting the return of the guards I had ordered to bring me back the escaped slaves. The night before, I had made an order for posters of the slaves to be pasted on every corners of the pack. I didn't care about my pack's great land mass, all I needed was to get those wretched slaves and show teach them a lesson they'd never forget.And that was why I was a bit excited when I was informed that a raven had been received from a farmer from our southern border saying he had seen them. Without a moment of delay, I had sent out
Anastasia's POV.Oh Goddess! She's a vampire, she's a vampire, she's a vampire!I tried all my best to push her off me but she wouldn't just budge. Her eerie gaze lingered on my face, giving me chills that ran down my spine. Literally, I could feel the cold air emanating her body. Her arms were also freezing from where I had contact with her.“Relax”, she said in a monotonic soft tone. I red eyes had a sharp glint as they suddenly reduced to just the pupils been red. I felt my body relax, my muscles dilating and a soft sigh escaped my lips.I looked into her eyes which I somehow didn't find horrific again but…beautiful…No!She was trying to use her mind compulsion on me. But I'm not going to fall for that. I won't allow her to lure me into letting her suck me dry.With every ounce of strength in me, I pushed, hard, this vamp away. She skidded off me although it was obvious it had nothing to do with my pushing. I didn't hesitate to spring to my feet. My breath was erratic again as fear
