Hello dear readers, I'm so sorry for the late updates. I need to go to the province last month. Please stay tuned and just a few more chapters and this story will be complete! Do I still have readers here?
DANTEThe weight of worry sat heavily on my shoulders as I stood there, my gaze fixed on the empty space that Lyza should have occupied. The minutes ticked by with excruciating slowness, each second intensifying my concern for her safety. It was as if the walls of the room were closing in on me, suffocating me with the uncertainty of her whereabouts.But between my frantic thoughts, a familiar voice cut through the haze of anxiety. Leonora Taylor, a respected figure within the pack, had arrived on time. Her concern was evident in the lines etched across her aged face."Dante, is it true? Lyza is missing?" Her voice held a mixture of worry and empathy, her eyes reflecting the genuine concern she felt for both Lyza and me.I offered her a tight-lipped nod, my voice carrying a heaviness that mirrored the turmoil within me. "Thanks for the concern, Leonora. But yes, she's missing. She didn't show up."The kindness in Leonora's gaze softened her features as she stepped closer. "I'll help y
ANNA "Hey! Wake up!" I heard my father's voice while I was deep in slumber. Suddenly, cold water splashed on my face, jolting me awake. Gasping for air, I struggled to open my eyes. Even though I had only slept for two hours, I had to help my mother with errands earlier. I was so exhausted and desperately needed rest, but my father was purposefully trying to wake me up. "Father, do you need anything from me?" I asked him politely, despite my soaked clothes and mattress. He smirked at me, indicating that he had something up his sleeve. "Yes, I need your help. The Lycan Prince and his mate's engagement party is today, and they need a servant. One of the housemaids didn't show up." My father was hoping that I would go there and replace the housemaid. However, it was already 9 pm, and I just wanted to relax. "But, father, it's my day off today. Can I just take this day to rest?" I asked him, hoping to avoid going. He looked at me with anger in his eyes. "When did you learn it was oka
"Congratulations, Dante! I'm happy for you and Darlyn. You make such a stunning couple," Mrs. Smith, one of the company investors, beamed with delight. The engagement party was in full swing at Rossi's Mansion, and the celebrations were in honor of Dante's fiancée, Darlyn Taylor. But Dante could never think of Darlyn as his true mate, despite what their fathers had arranged. The marriage between them was a mere formality, a ridiculous agreement made by their family. He could never force himself to love her, no matter how beautiful she was. There was no deep connection between them that he could feel, no matter how hard he tried. Darlyn, the daughter of Leonora Taylor, the successful entrepreneur and female Alpha of the Red River Pack, had always been kind and thoughtful towards him. Yet, Dante could never bring himself to like her daughter, and he didn't know why. But as the future Lycan King of the Black Pearl Pack, he couldn't refuse his father's request and risked putting Darlyn
ANNA As I arrived at Rossi's Mansion, I couldn't help but marvel at the sight of wealthy families from various clans, all elegantly dressed in their evening attire. Unfortunately, I couldn't say the same for myself. My clothes were old and shabby, hand-me-downs from my mother, and I couldn't afford to purchase new ones. Thankfully, the head of the servants had provided me with a maid's uniform, which helped conceal my ragged appearance. Although I had seen the exterior of Rossi's Mansion on several occasions, I had never set foot inside until today. To say that I was awestruck by its grandeur would be an understatement. The mansion was nothing short of a seven-star hotel, with exquisite granite tiles that even reflected my own image. As I entered the restroom, I was taken aback by its size. It was larger than my entire room! I couldn't help but realize the power of money and the impact it could have on one's life. Just then, Rizza, a kind servant, called out to me, "Anna, have you
ANNA I can feel his gaze following me as I leave, and I try to ignore it. But it's impossible not to feel the pull between us. I know I shouldn't be thinking about him this way. Dante is a Lycan Prince, and I'm just a rankless wolf and servant. He's engaged to the woman earlier, Darlyn, the daughter of Leonora, the female alpha of the Red River Pack. And even though I feel this strange connection to him, I know I have to keep my distance. But it's hard when his eyes seem to burn into me, and his palms on my shoulder send shivers down my spine. I want to try to focus on my duties, but my mind keeps wandering to Dante. I can't help but wonder what it would be like to be with him, to feel his lips on mine, to be his fated mate. But I can't allow myself to think like that. It's not possible. He's already engaged to someone else, and I'm just a rankless wolf, worse than being an omega. I have no place in his world. “Look, if you’re hurt, I can treat the scratch in your face…” I shouldn
ANNA The next day, I woke up early and started my day as a servant in the Chad household. The work was never easy, but it was a means to earn my keep. As I made my way to the house, I couldn't help but feel the chill of the morning air. It was then that I saw him - Nico, my childhood friend here in the Black Pearl Pack. He’s the only friend I had. Nico was always a good-looking guy, with a kind and gentle soul. We were the same age, and I had grown up with him in the pack. He saw me and ran towards me, his arms open wide. He hugged me tight, and I felt my heart skip a beat. It had been so long since I had seen him. I couldn't help but feel my heart race as Nico hugged me tightly. It had been so long since I'd seen him, and I couldn't deny the fact that I missed him too. But I couldn't let him see the pain that I was going through. “Hey, pumpkin. How are you? I missed you so much,” He said, there’s a longing in his eyes. I tried to smile. “I’m fine, Nico. I missed you too. I can’t
ANNA I walked into my home, feeling happy and content after my date with Nico. However, my happiness was short-lived as my mother Estella appeared out of nowhere and grabbed me by my hair. I cried out in pain as my mother pulled my hair, and I struggled to break free from her grasp. “Mother, stop! It’s painful! Did I do something wrong? Why are you hurting me?” But Estella's response left me speechless. "You're a manwhore and a flirt, Anna!" my mother said with disgust. "You don't have any right to date a guy, you can’t have a mate! Bear that in your brainless mind!” I was taken aback by my mother's words. I couldn't understand why my mother was so angry and why I wasn't allowed to have a mate. I am already 18. Other she-wolves the same age as me already found their wolf. I tried to explain to my mother that Nico was just my best friend, but my mother didn't believe me. "You can't fool me, Anna!” Estella said. "I saw you with him, and I know what you're up to." I couldn't believe
Dante couldn't stop thinking about Anna, his wolf. The way she made him feel was something he had never experienced before. He was drawn to her like a moth to a flame. Dante knew he had to find a way to break up his engagement with Darlyn. He didn't love her, and he knew that he could never be happy with anyone else but Anna. He was willing to do whatever it takes to be with her.He couldn't shake off the memory of Anna from his mind. Despite being engaged to Darlyn, his thoughts kept drifting towards the girl who stole his heart at the party. He didn't even know her, but he felt like he had known her for a lifetime. He had tried to forget her, but every time he closed his eyes, her face appeared before him. It was like he was under some spell, and he couldn't break free from it. Dante found himself dreaming about Anna almost every night. In his dreams, they were always together, walking through the forest, talking about everything and nothing. Her laughter echoed in his ears, and h
