I tried to move farther from Bill, but my hands and foot were tied. I couldn’t move elsewhere. His hand touched me everywhere. No, it couldn’t happen again! Why must I experience it again? Yet I didn’t want to show my distress to him. If I showed fear, it might satisfy him.I still remembered what happened in my past life: the pain and the devastation after he raped me. He hugged me, but I could only cry and curled like a baby on the side of the bed. He took away my chance to get a good husband because in the period, women were valued based on their purity. Though I lost the virginity out of my consent, it would change nothing. After too exhausted of crying, I was asleep. When waking up, I saw Bill—no, he wasn’t Bill—the vampire stared at me and then he said, “Now you’re mine. I’ll make you eternal.”He bent and bit my neck. It hurt, but it was nothing compared to the realization that came afterward. The bloodthirsty …. Then the screaming of a maid I pounced. The fear in her eyes …

~ Cameron/Constantine ~Melanie followed Lisa and Mimi’s first then Nate, and would go after fifteen minutes. I decided on the arrangement, as we must be careful not to let Lisa or Mimi realize they were followed. I changed my mind not to go to the Hurricane Dawn Pack because I was worried about Anna’s safety. So after discussing with Nate, finally we agreed to let Melanie go first, then Nate would come the second, and I would be the last. If we went together, the possibility for Lisa and Mimi to see us was higher. Nate contacted me through the mind link. ‘Cam, they arrived at the pack. Melanie and I are outside, hiding behind a bush. Hurry!’I rushed to go there. I was behind Nate and Melanie. As I didn’t want to startle Melanie, I talked through the mind link, ‘I’m behind you. Let’s talk through the mind link from now on.’ I opened the mind link to both of them so the three of us could communicate better..Melanie turned around and nodded as she saw me. Her face showed she was reli

“Not so fast!” Bill blocked the door. “You are in my pack. As intruders, I may send all of you to the prison.”“Really? Then what right does your sister have with her intention to harm Anna?” Cameron said. He folded his arms across his chest. Then he added with an icy tone, “Besides, what is your right to rape Anna?”“My sister gave her to me. She is your mate and your Luna. It’s valid for me to receive a lovely present as Anna is the pack member of yours.” Bill sneered at Cameron. “I valued her so greatly until I offered her to be my Luna. I even wanted to be the father of her pup.”“She doesn’t need you. She has already had me as the father of her pup. We will raise our pup. No need for you to interfere,” Cameron said, debating what Bill had said.Melanie removed her jacket and helped me to wear it. I took my torn dress on the floor and wore it as a skirt by tying the one side to the other side. After fastening the knots three times, I took a deep breath. At least Cameron was here.

We waited until Jack’s car passed Cameron’s first. Jack honked and waved his hand, then left us. I was sure Melanie and Jack would quarrel along the way. I shook my head and smiled. After paying for the fuel, Cameron drove again. “What?” He asked. “You smiled after seeing Jack.”“No, it’s just I feel weird to see Melanie and Jack. He often bullies her. I was worried as you asked him to fetch Melanie.”“No need to worry. I made him promise not to bully Melanie anymore. Besides ….” Cameron winked his eyes. “Besides what?” I curiously asked as Cameron hid something from me. “Do you know why Jack bullied Melanie?”I shook my head. “No. Why?”“Because he likes her.”“What?!” I gaped, as it was quite an unexpected answer. “You must be joking! They are like cats and mice, you know.”“Jack didn’t know how to approach Melanie. He was clueless about expressing his feelings to her. That’s why he loved to tease her. But he admitted it had been out of hand. He has never wanted to harm or hurt h

It was awkward to let Mimi serve me. However, as it was a direct order from our Alpha, I must comply regardless of how odd it was. I smiled, knowing today I would be with Cameron again. No more frightening night as I didn’t know what our former Alpha (Alpha Horace) would do to me. At first, I thought he only wanted to prison me so Cameron couldn’t meet me. Yet, when it had been a few days, I was worried that he would torture me. If I weren’t pregnant, I wouldn’t be afraid. I rubbed my belly and sobbed. As a mother, I only wanted to protect my child. “Anna, is something wrong?” Cameron asked. I didn’t hear him enter the bedroom. “Did Mimi say or do something that hurt your feelings?”I shook my head but said nothing, as I didn’t want to create a rift between Elder Horace and Cameron. “No, I’m only tired.”Cameron immediately sat next to me and scooped me until our bodies were next to each other. “I can help you relax, my love.”I sniffled and nodded. “Yes, please. Thank you.”Then Ca
