ANNALISE CAMERONA hiss escaped my lips as the nurse applied direct pressure with the tissue dipped in water to clean my wound until bleeding stopped.She examined the cut on my cheek briefly before turning to get another box from the drawer.I watched with horror when she opened the box and it had sutures in it.How bad is my wound for them to use suture?"Since you don't have a wolf to help you heal.I have to stitch the cut on your cheek" She explained softly, passing me a genuine smile but right at the moment, I am sure there is nothing to smile at."Can you pass me the mirror please" I asked, before rolling my bottom lip in between my teeth only to hiss in pain.I groan in annoyance at the realization.The nurse handed me the small mirror and I hesitantly brought it in front of my face.My lips parted in utter disbelief as I stared at my now unrecognizable face.Calling it unrecognizable sounds a little too much but my face looks horrible with swollen jaw and a deep cut on my cheek, r
ANNALISE CAMERONI look ugly.With that perception of my look, I turned my heels and bumped straight into a wall but there was not a wall if I remember clearly? I hiss silently, touching my forehead and looking in front to face a chest hidden behind a black fabric.A buff chest to be precise, my eyes traveled up past the black t-shirt, a tan throat until it landed on the familiar face of Maddox.I gulped, feeling nervous under the intensity of his gaze.His gaze stayed a brief longer on my face, while I tried to regain my stable breathing at the close proximity between us.I shift my gaze down at his shoes instead, feeling self conscious about my look.First my already messed up face, second, a messy bun, third, my simple outfit.A tank top paired with gray sweatpants.Something I prefer at home for my comfort."I know my face is not so appealing to look at right now but how long are you going to stand here and judge? I am sure you have much more interesting things to do than wasting your
ANNALISE CAMERONI barely slept in the past two days.The pair of pretty brown orbs were too deeply engraved in my head.No matter how much I tried to shrug it off, those eyes kept running back in my mind.And the words that he had said in the woods.They were non-stop repeating in my head."Don't like Lance or any other men" I could still hear his deep voice crystal clear, too real as if he is whispering it in my ears every second.His voice was mixture of roughness and vulnerability yet at the same time it flickered an emotion so strong in me that I was left in a maze and couldn't even ask him 'why' or 'what' What was his actual implication with those words?Why would he want me to not like Lance or any other men?My heart slowed a beat at the first possibility that came in my mind but I have been pushing it back in the depth of darkness in my head.I am not yet prepared to even think of it.Are we mates?A strong shiver ran through an entire length of my body.Although I was tucked in
MADDOX LINCOLNI keenly watched the fight between warriors but it was not pleasing nor impressive enough to match my expectations.Their fighting techniques are nice to stand against their opponents but somehow it's not enough.I grew up watching our Beta's fighting techniques and I was impressed from the very start of his fighting techniques, his sharp mind and that's the requirements and capabilities I am looking in for my Beta but none seem to match the qualities.I looked at the crowd that was watching the fight and among them, I noticed a familiar tall frame.Lucas stood there watching the warriors but he looked my way, he must have felt my gaze on him.I flashed him a smug smile which as usual resulted in him narrowing his eyes and irritation shadowed his face.Speaking of Lucas, he is son our Beta and has trained under his Father's guidance.I have seen him fight and his skills are more advanced than his father.About his mind, he gets provoked easily but it happens only with me.He
MADDOX LINCOLNMy wolf still wouldn't let me take the control, and I couldn't help but worry thinking what he wants.My worry intensified when Annalise's house came into sight.He is going to do something stupid if I let him approach her.'give me back the control before I give your room to the demon'That's it, my threat was enough to stop him.He whined in my head and I sigh, adjusting my shirt while staring at the front porch of Annalise's house.My wolf doesn't like demon because it's much more dangerous than us and can take over me within a blink of an eye.My wolf had been locked for months because of demon and all those months, it felt like I was just a puppet but it started to change when I started learning to control it and now it's safe to say, we are on good terms.However, My wolf still fears the demon but he uses it the most when necessary just like he did in front of the school to teach Jihun a lesson.Jihun wouldn't need more lessons though, may he rot in hell very resp
Annalise Cameron— I wake up feeling someone's fingers running through my hair.I sigh softly, inhaling the soothing scent of my mother.My lips stretched upwards into a small smile."How are you feeling now?" She asked softly."I told you it was nothing serious.The pain faded long ago" I answered and looked up at her..She nodded, continuing to run her fingers through my hair."Mom?" I called out, earning a hum in response."It was strange, wasn't it?" I asked."What are you talking about?" She asked, visibly confused."Maddox, why would he go against Alpha Jihun to help me? It doesn't make sense." I let out my doubt.Although, I know that it could be because we might be mates but that is still just an assumption.If I get my mom's perception then things might sound more realistic than the delusional perception of mine. "Why not? He is our soon to be Alpha and it is his responsibility to keep us safe" She answered.Yes, it could be the case.Much more realistic but how can I not analyze th
Annalise Cameron—We both were still walking which left another question in my head.How far did I come? Seriously, what was I even doing?' Groaning at the absurdity of my actions, I kicked a pebble that came into my way.Maddox frowned, pulling me towards him before draping his arm over my shoulder.I just couldn't get used to the sparks."You are scaring me now" He said, sounding way too worried.Guilt filled up in my lungs.He stopped once the backyard of my house came into sight."You can not go roaming around the woods in the middle of night! What were you even thinking?" His tone was sharp, now he sounds mad.I blinked, not really understanding his behavior.Till now he was so worried but a sudden change in behavior?"You are mad" I stated the obvious and yanked his arm away."I understand now.You are mad because I am your fated mate.Obviously, why would a high ranked wolf, The Alpha would be happy to have a woofless mate?" I exclaimed."Moon Goddess really has some beef with me" I
Maddox Lincoln—Something is there in the woods, I could feel it and I am sure it's not my demon coming to haunt me back because Annalise senses the change in the air too.The feeling so strong and alarming clashes with the sensual thick tension, leaving me with worry.I released Annalise and she quickly rushed in the house while I stayed outside for a minute, staring at the particular direction.'Thomas! Double check the area and double the patrolling.I need more wolves at patrolling and keep updating if there's even a slightest bit of change' I left a command through mind link and glanced one last time into the woods before striding in the house.I walked through the back door and shut it behind.A loud scream echoed in the house, I recognised it instantly which came from the living room.I rushed to the living room, eyes scanning every corner of the living room but there was nothing dangerous.Annalise stood in front of the mirror, staring at her reflection in the mirror.Look of horro
