ANASTASIALinda couldn't hold her desperation for long.Just as I was stepping into the mansion— I was alone since Sonia went back to her place to prepare for her date with Arnold tonight—she immediately called me to find out if see could come over and pick me up or if she'll be expecting me today at my father's home.I had to compose my temper and respond back in a cool tone by telling her to be patient. "I already agreed to come, didn't I, mother?""Yes Anna, I just wanted to make sure you...""I'll come on my own when I'm ready," I said, taking a seat on my couch, watching my guards take my shopping bags upstairs."You don't have to worry," I assured, my lips spreading into a cunning smile.Linda breathed out in relief, promising to make my stay exciting.I didn't argue about that. I just did what a loving daughter would do for her sweet stepmother. "Thank you, Mom," I faked appreciation before ending the call."Thank you indeed," I scoffed, dropping my phone down..That evening,
ANASTASIA "This will fit you perfectly well, Luna," Sonia suggested, placing a nice red gown against my chest. "I bet Alpha Diego will drool when he sees you in this," She giggled, planting a smile on my face. Sonia and I came shopping, since my party was closer than ever. The days went by in a flash, carrying us into the new month. Honestly, it still feels like father and I had our conversation yesterday. This is what we mean by 'how time flies.' As for Alpha Woods and his Mafia goons, that crazy old wolf and his friends have been struggling to get their hands on the cure for days. No matter how they try, they always fail to find the mastermind behind this masterpiece. We now have eyes within their scrambled circle that shares all their details and plans to us. And that has helped my Alpha in attacking his enemies perfectly well, while using his weapons to push them off our tracks. Also, I kept my words to my Diego and didn't see Woods again. The Alpha has been t
DAMIAN"I told you already. I don't know how it happened!" Beta Austin sparked, almost losing his cool.He was surrounded by the other Mafia Bosses, who were curious to know how he messed up."What do you mean by you don't know?!" A Gamma roared, glaring at him.Poor Wolf was grabbed from the collar by an Alpha this time, who yelled at him, doubting his claim."Those whores were in your custody. How the fuck did the enemy get to them?!""ARE YOU ALL DEAF?!" The raging Beta shouted, pushing the Alpha off.Throwing a wolf glare at us, he shouted, "I told you that I was at the warehouse ready to ship them all to a safe location! How was I supposed to know the people who drove them off were not the drivers I hired?!""Worse, they switched trucks! I don't know how it all happened!!" He groaned, expressing frustration.With all that he had said, the others were slowly believing the Beta's words, assuming they misinterpreted this whole thing.But me, who had my mind set on Diego, said—trying
ANASTASIA"You sure are taking your sweet time, my sexy doll.""As an old wolf, I expect you to have patience," I chuckled over the phone, stepping out of the car."Your wait is finally over, because I'm here," I revealed, gazing at the hotel before me, putting an end to my call with Woods."Show time," I smirked, dressing my hair to the back, before catwalking into the building.Getting to the reception counter, the fellow behind the desk was swift to recognize me, letting out a wide grin of excitement as he welcomed me.He wasn't the only one who recognized Crescent pack's adorable and angelic Luna. There were other guests at the hotel, and they all had their eyes on me, looking so happy to have a diva like myself in their presence."It's such an honor to have you here, Luna," The fellow said, bowing at me."Oh, thank you," I appreciated, letting out a blush."How may I be of service to you, my lady? Do you wish to book a room for the night or...""I'm here to visit a family friend,
ANASTASIA"You're looking beautiful today," Father complimented, his lips spreading into a smile.But I wasn't smiling back. I was stunned!I turned over to look for my Alpha and found him standing a few steps away from our table, giving me the thumbs up."How did he get father to come?" I questioned inwardly, still marvelled by this surprise.Before I knew it, Diego waved at me and left the room, giving my father and I some privacy."No, don't leave me!" I screamed in my head, almost getting off my seat to run after him. But that stubborn man was gone."He's a nice gentleman," I heard father comment, making me turn to face him."He is the one who organized this meeting when I ran out of ideas. You can say I'm getting really old by the day," He chuckled.But his laughter died down when he saw my face expression.I wasn't laughing."Oh, um..." He stuttered, looking down on his table, with his finger playing with the napkin set down before him.A waiter came over to serve us a drink, be
ANASTASIA"The authorities have sent the victims to the hospital for testing, in hopes of getting a trace of this cure, to end this virus spreading in the werewolf kingdom.""Good luck cracking that code," Jeremy laughed out proudlySonia and I came over to see him that morning, before the news came up."Only a true genius can figure out the ingredients used in making that cure. That's if they're able to find a trace in their blood," Jeremy cackled.Sonia and I chuckled at his behavior.You can tell he's enjoying every bit of this news, and I like it.I'm always proud of Crescent's smartest lab doctor when he's at the top. It shows how unique and incredible he is."They started it by making that virus of a drug, hard for someone to study. But you cracked the code and gave them something way harder to solve," Sonia pointed out, increasing Jeremy's satisfaction.With a smile, he said, placing his hand on her shoulder, "I like your brains. You're a smart girl. That'll explain your creati
