“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
Hunter’s Pov. ~A few days since arriving in California. ~ “Mate is close!! Mate is hurt! Find Mate!!” Seiko kept barking the same words in my head as we got closer to the area where the sweet smell was emitting from. He was pacing and panting so much that I was about to go crazy. I didn’t even know what was happening at the moment, I couldn’t even think. The sweet caramel mixed with sandalwood smell added with Seiko’s craziness was making me act like a madman. I just needed to know where and from whom it was coming from, else, I’d lose my mind. This is the second time I will be getting this smell since I entered the country. The first time was faint, unrecognizable, and contaminated so I didn’t think much of it plus I was just too busy so it slipped my mind. But now that I am getting it again, the smell is so much different from the last time… it is much stronger, closer, and Mine! I am sure of it, I have never been sure of anything in my entire life as I am sure of this. But why
Hunter’s Pov. Exhausted from drowning myself in work, I angrily threw the iPad in my hands and got up to stare out the window, but as always, my thoughts were clouded with her. Her smell… pale skin… the tiny and almost invisible red mark on her ear, the way her tiny body heaved with every breath she took. Fuck! I am losing my mind! It’s been two days since I last saw her and it is safe to say that these two days have been nothing short of hell for me! It’s been the toughest days of my life and with every passing day, it gets tougher and tougher to concentrate and to get back to being myself. I keep wondering what she is up to and how she is fairing, if she is still getting hurt and how badly it is, my mind keeps hoping and praying she can bear it for a little while longer till I am prepared to crumble the Wesley household for causing her pain. I also can’t stop myself from wondering if she felt my presence that night and if she somehow missed me. I have tried to get over these sill
Hunter’s Pov Her intoxicating scent was driving both I and Seiko crazy because of how noticeable it was now that I had entered the cafeteria but it was fading which only meant she was stepping out of the hall, and there was a different manly smell I was getting from her scent which also means she was stepping out with another man. Unfathomable rage filled me at the thought that another man was even as little as holding her hand, the urge to catch up with them and tear him apart was so strong that I did not know when my eyes had turned pitch black. It was only when my Beta called my attention to it through the mind-link that I realized how frightening I looked. “If you’ll excuse me, gentlemen, I have to check up on something but don’t worry, my assistant here will take over from me,” I said, pointing at my Beta before immediately leaving so I wouldn’t answer any of their questions. I passed through the packed cafeteria, ignoring the subtle whispers of adoration from the teenage girl
Annabel's Pov. My resistance was subdued by just the touch of his hot lips. One of his arms was wrapped possessively around my waist while the other had curled into my hair, he had bent my head backward so I would accept his terrific kisses and I was taking it all greedily, with just as much hunger as he did. He tasted better than anything I had ever tasted in my pathetic life. Or maybe the rich and flavourful taste his mouth was flowing with was from the wine he probably drank earlier. His lips guided my inexperienced ones with so much dominance and passion that I did not know when I had inched even closer to him, whilst wrapping my hands around his neck so I could match his pace. The kissing had quickly gone from forceful to passionate and the more I sucked on his juicy lips, the more I felt intoxicated and alive. It was only when I heard an awkward cough behind us that I regained my senses and remembered where I was and the events that had just transpired. Mortified, I quickly
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
