Hello lovelies, If you are enjoying the story so far, please send me a review and vote me some gems, pretty please! I love and appreciate you all for giving my story a chance!!
Annable’s Pov.7:40 am, I am prepared and waiting for my boss to climb downstairs with a cold glare in his eyes. How I managed to finish twenty minutes before the time is still very surprising because I had given up hope of ever making it in time. Thankfully, I made good use of the free minutes to gobble up some omelets and orange juice before I heard his footsteps approaching.I straightened up when I saw Hunter’s tall figure come into view as he began to climb down the stairs, he looked very handsome and charismatic in his brown suit and surprisingly his face carried a glow that I don’t remember ever seeing before. It was like he was trying to elevate his usual boring look by unbuttoning the first two buttons of his milk shirt and even going as far as changing his signature hairstyle.“Good morning, Master,” the maids who were still busy with their clean-ups chorused. He hummed in reply.“Would you like us to prepare your breakfast, Sir?” The butler asked in his usual formal tone.“
Hunter’s Pov.“Mr. Hunter Garfield!” I shook his outstretched hand, while my eyes simultaneously analysed the members of his committee. It was a committee of five cold men. “It’s a pleasure to meet you again,” he said with a wide smile.“Likewise, Mr. Ray,” I replied in the tone I used during every investment meeting. It was both intimidating and cold.“Please have your seat and we can begin.” Mr. Ray, the head of the group announced. The doors were immediately shut with all the guards out. Only the people related to the business arrangement were left in the conference room.Even with all the directed doubtful eyes of the investors focused on me, I still radiated with confidence and power. I wasn’t begging them to invest in my new hotel which was in the best strategic site possible, so if they for any reason decide to refuse my mouth-watering offer, I have several more people who would die to be a part of it because they see the skyrocketed profits their investments would definitely b
Hunter's Pov. "Will just anybody know you have a tiny pink mark just below your breast? Or that you have a little cute birthmark on your lower back very close to your..." Her hands cupped my mouth just before I could finish my sentence. The shy and surprised look on her face left me smirking satisfactorily. I wouldn't have to worry so much about convincing her to come home with me. But I was still very mad at her though. How dare she refer to me as just anybody?! Even though I understand her confusion as I am also as confused as she is about what is going on, but still, she had no right to refer to me as such! I still can't wrap my head around how she looks and talks like my Anna, I never thought such would be possible, although I once heard a story of something similar that happened to a werewolf who lost his mate but I never thought it was real or that it would ever happen to me. Staring at the embarrassed blush on her rosy cheeks brought back so many locked-up memories, so many
Back at the Luxury Penthouse Hunter’s Pov. “Thank you for the meal,” Anna said while getting up from her chair. “Only with words?” I replied with a mischievous smirk which she didn’t react to because she was staring at her empty plate rather than at me. “Are you full? Should I ask them to bring more?” I asked when I noticed how dull her eyes seemed even after eating which is very unlike her. “No!” she snapped “I’m not a glutton.” She said with an eye roll. “I never said you are, silly.” She stared at me for a while before her face broke into a small smile. “So? Are you really gonna be thanking me with only words?” I pressed on. She had to start getting used to this side of me. “What do you mean? How else should I thank you?” she asked with furrowed brows and suspicious eyes. I pushed my plate aside and placed my ankle on the table while holding my chin in a feigned thinking posture. “Come closer, my throat hurts so I can’t talk loud.” Her suspicious eyes narrowed at me and for
Hunter’s Pov.My heart was beating erratically as I waited for her response. I don’t know why she is taking so long to free me from this turmoil I have been thrown into. Maybe she is enjoying me being paranoid and shaking like a leaf, it’s obvious from that smirk on her face.“Anna!” I whined, my lips pouted and all.“When will you answer me!” I demanded stubbornly but she just treated me like a joke and began laughing in my face. If she wasn’t so cute while doing it, I would long have caged her under me, let's see if she would still be laughing then.“Oh, it’s funny to you, right? My feelings are funny to you?” I questioned her in pretend anger.“No, no no, that’s not it. It’s just how your face… won’t you pick your call?”I looked down at my pockets, and that was when I realized my phone had been vibrating. How did her ears pick that up quickly when even I who had a wolf hadn’t even noticed it yet?“Hey! Don’t blame me for this, you were the one enchanted with our mate’s laugh that
“Don’t you dare die on me, Anna!” he ordered hoarsely at the frail lady puking out blood. “Don’t you dare go back on the promises we made to each other,” he added as the tears poured freely from his eyes as he helplessly watched his pregnant mate wriggle painfully on the ground. He couldn’t look at her injuries, they were too severe and painful for him to see. Regardless, he applied pressure on her wounds, while praying in his heart that his reinforcements found him before it was too late for his pregnant mate. She didn’t have much time left and he could sense that from his howling wolf. He didn’t care about his unborn child or that he too was also severely injured from the attack and in need of urgent attention. He just wanted his mate saved and alive, and he didn’t mind dying for that. “Please! Help us! I beg you, please! …I’ll do anything, I swear…anything you want! Just take her to the hospital please…and then you can kill me or do whatever you want with me!” The Alpha begged ag
Hunter’s Pov. I watched her jump excitedly with her friends, twirling and giggling alongside them before abruptly leaving their hands to follow my guard who was sent to escort her to me. “Have a seat, Miss?” “Julia, Alpha Hunter,” she said with a small courtesy bow. “You know my name?” I asked in genuine surprise, it was my first time in this Pack and in this Ball since five years ago when my mate died. So, it is surprising to know that someone other than an Elder or Alpha of a Pack knew who I was. She blushed, a bright red shade coating her cheeks for a short while, “I doubt there is any female in this Ball who doesn’t know who you are, Alpha” Although I was refusing to stare directly at her because of the effect the mate bond had on Alphas, I could tell she was a nice girl. Her voice sounded so genuine and lovely that even with my fully transformed cold heart, I still felt bad about the prospect of hurting her. Just exactly as I had felt when I rejected the last four ladies th
Annabel’s Pov. ''ANNABEL!! GET OVER HERE THIS INSTANT!'' Miss Agatha yelled in her usual bossy voice. 'Yes Ma'am' I answered, running as fast as my legs could go. I wasn't ready to be in her bad books twice in a day, that came with a whole lot of pain. As I ran, I tried to recall if I had done something wrong again but nothing was coming to me. I had made sure to finish all my chores before I went in to attend to the feeding of the family’s pets, so why was she yelling my name this much? Normally she was always a stuck-up bitch who wouldn’t give me the time of day, always out for my life. But this tone of hers felt a lot different from how she normally would yell my name. Shivers ran down my spine as I wasn't ready for another dose of slaps, kicks, whips! Name them, I've had them all. My body hurt as hell from the kicks I received this morning and I was pretty sure my body would collapse if I had another set of beatings again. I rushed to the kitchen to meet the perfect dish of
