As they walked back to the mansion, Anna couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over her. They had finally faced James and come out on top.Georgia seemed to sense her mood, and she smiled as they walked. "I'm so glad that's over," she said.Anna nodded in agreement. "Me too. I was starting to think we'd never be able to get rid of him."Georgia shuddered. "Don't even joke about that. I don't think I could handle seeing him again."Anna put a reassuring arm around her shoulders. "You don't have to worry about that. The alpha will make sure he's punished for what he did."Georgia nodded, seeming to relax a little. "I know. I just can't believe it's finally over."As they approached the mansion, Anna could see that the alpha was standing outside, waiting for them. He smiled as they approached."I'm glad to see you two are safe," he said. "I was worried sick about you."Anna smiled back at him. "We're fine, thanks to you," she said.The alpha nodded, his expression serious. "I'm j
Anna stood frozen, her eyes locked on James. She could see the anger and hatred burning in his eyes, and she knew that they were in grave danger.Georgia grabbed her arm, her voice trembling. "Anna, what do we do?"Anna didn't hesitate. She knew that they had to get away from James, and fast. She turned and ran, pulling Georgia along behind her.They sprinted across the lawn, their feet pounding the grass. Anna could hear James behind them, his footsteps heavy and deliberate.As they ran, Anna's mind was racing. She knew that they couldn't outrun James forever. They needed a plan, and fast.She spotted a small shed in the distance, partially hidden by a clump of trees. Without hesitation, she changed direction, pulling Georgia towards the shed.They reached the shed and burst through the door, slamming it shut behind them. Anna leaned against the door, panting, as Georgia looked around wildly."What are we doing?" Georgia whispered.Anna took a deep breath, trying to calm down. "We ne
The next morning, Anna woke up feeling uneasy. She couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. She looked over at Georgia, who was still fast asleep.Anna got out of bed and began to get ready for the day. She took a shower, got dressed, and brushed her hair. As she was finishing up, Georgia woke up."Good morning," Georgia said, yawning."Good morning," Anna replied. "I'm going to go downstairs and see if I can find out what's going on. Want to come with me?"Georgia nodded, and the two of them headed downstairs.As they entered the dining hall, they saw Riya and the alpha sitting at the table. They looked like they were in the middle of a serious conversation."Good morning," Riya said, smiling at them. "Please, join us."Anna and Georgia sat down, and Riya poured them each a cup of coffee."What's going on?" Anna asked, taking a sip of her coffee.The alpha leaned back in his chair. "James is still at large. We're doing everything we can to find him, but so far, no luck.
James's smile sent a shiver down Anna's spine. There was something sinister about it, something that made her want to scream."I'm here to take what's rightfully mine," James said, his voice dripping with venom.The alpha stood up, his eyes flashing with anger. "You'll never take anything from me, James. I am the rightful ruler of this pack."James sneered. "You think you're worthy of ruling? You, who rejected your true mate and humiliated her in front of the entire pack?"Anna felt a surge of anger at James's words. How dare he bring up the alpha's past mistakes?The alpha's face darkened, and he took a step forward. "You have no right to speak of that, James. You, who have always been jealous of my position."James snarled, baring his teeth. "I'm not jealous of you, brother. I'm just tired of living in your shadow. And I'm going to take what's mine, no matter what it takes."The room fell silent, the only sound the heavy breathing of the two brothers. Anna could feel the tension bui
The rival pack's alpha, a towering figure with piercing yellow eyes, glared at Anna and Georgia, his expression twisted in anger."What are you doing here?" he growled, his voice low and menacing.Anna stood tall, trying to appear braver than she felt. "We're just looking for someone," she said, trying to sound nonchalant.The alpha's eyes narrowed. "Who?"Anna hesitated, unsure of how much to reveal. But before she could answer, Georgia jumped in."We're looking for James," she said, her voice firm. "We heard he might be here."The alpha's expression changed, his eyes flashing with surprise. "James?" he repeated. "What makes you think he's here?"Anna and Georgia exchanged a look, both of them thinking the same thing: they had to be careful what they revealed."We just heard rumors," Anna said, trying to sound vague. "We didn't think it was true."The alpha's eyes narrowed, his expression skeptical. "I don't believe you," he said. "You're not just looking for James. You're looking fo
The three of them sat in Riya's room, brainstorming ways to find James. Anna pulled out a map of the surrounding area, spreading it out on the bed."Okay, so we know James was last seen heading towards the rival pack's territory," Anna said, tracing the path on the map. "But we don't know where he is now."Riya nodded. "And we can't just go marching into rival pack territory without a plan."Georgia frowned. "But we can't just sit around and do nothing either. James could be in real danger."Anna's eyes narrowed. "I think I have an idea. What if we sneak into rival pack territory and try to gather some information?"Riya's eyes widened. "That's a crazy idea, Anna."But Georgia was nodding. "I think it's worth a shot. We can't just sit around and wait for something to happen."Anna grinned. "That's the spirit, Georgia."Riya sighed. "Fine. But we need to be careful. If we get caught, it could mean war."Anna nodded. "I know. But we have to try."The three of them spent the rest of the
