FORTY-ONE"Ana..." Someone was calling my name but the sound was so distant that I could not concentrate on it or in which direction it had been from. "Ana..." It continued but this time my body was being shaken. The shaking soon became fast and annoying."...Anabelle," My eyes opened and the first thing I set them on was Jaxon's hard chest that was above me.I gasped and quickly closed my eyes before I heard a chuckle. I opened my eyes and Jaxon was staring at me with full amusement. His eyes scanned my face and he fell back beside me. I let out a sigh and tried to regain the remaining of my senses after staring at Jaxon's body in the morning. I would land myself in jail if I ever said that Jaxon's physique was not um...tempting or arousing because that would be a lie. His presence itself made me smile and the events of the night before made my smile widen further. He had apologized in his messed-up way which consisted of claiming me possessively.I felt his arm around me and heat ru

FORTY-THREEAs I finally closed off the last file of the day, a sigh escaped my lips and I smiled at what I had achieved. Cora had agreed to help me with fulfilling a few duties since I was not yet officially Luna. The duties ranged from simple tasks of taking care of pack feeding, newly mated pack members and other things. I never had a single clue on how food manufactured by big human companies ended up in packs around the globe and today I found out how they do it. It was a game of mind games with our species spreading out in the normal world as big businessmen and businesswomen owning shares in large companies in order to make sure that some of these products are distributed to packs under the pretence of normal exports. It was not risky in any way because a normal human could cross any pack and would think it is a normal small village or town. With small shops and standard malls, packs gave a normal look to any person.I was only worried about one thing...as I went through the li

FORTY-FIVETwo weeks had passed since I had woken up and everything had fallen back to place. Vera had apologised to everyone and then I had not heard from her until I had decided to visit Milo at the parlour and ask him about her, he had assured me that she was okay and was trying to get everything figured out. I felt guilty because she was my best friend and I had been horrible at my job because I could not even keep up with her life. In all the days, I had never asked her about her and Milo or how it felt to have a mate. But I had decided that maybe a bit of time away from each other would be what it took to rekindle our friendship and sort out everything. I had begun tending to the tasks that Cora gave me on a daily and found myself interacting with more of the pack members on a daily. It was a relief indeed to see new faces and hear new voices. Most of them were friendly and would assure me that I would make a great Luna but not everyone would be happy and positive towards chang

FORTY-SEVENA breath of relief finally left my mouth when my body hit the bed after taking a shower and changing into fresh pyjamas. Jaxon was not yet back so I had time to myself, thinking about how to deal with the problem I was currently faced with. I had to find a way to help Lila and the reward would not only be helping the poor girl and her sister but this would also prove to people that I could be the Luna and they did not have to be worried that there would be horrible consequences. I was not only determined to see justice prevail but also to prove all those who looked down on me wrong. Most importantly I wanted to achieve this goal without Jaxon's help, I had to do it on my own and prove to myself and everyone else that I am an independent woman.'Yeah right, after threatening that girl with Jaxon's name.'That was totally different and would not have done it anyway, it was just an empty threat. Are you not supposed to be supporting me anyways, you are me if you think of it i

FORTY-NINELila had started sobbing in the car as we drove to the packhouse, I held her close to me and petted her hair until we had reached the destination. Adam who was driving got out of the car and left me with Lila as I continued whispering assuring words to her. It reminded me of the last time I had chased her into the woods but I was glad that she was not crying for her and Samantha's wellbeing this time. I was glad that I was able to eradicate the problem, getting her father the proper care he needs to become better. All that I had to focus on as of now was to make sure that Lila and Samantha were okay. I had the responsibility of taking care of them even if Samantha did not think that I was the best person."Come on let's get you and your sister a room that you can share," I said with an enthusiastic smile and she nodded.We got out of the car and walked into the house, I walked with her until we were in front of Alec's office on the third floor. I knocked on the door and Ale
