ANNA'S POVI could feel a snarl building up in me and I felt my claws coming out.My lips parted ways to allow for my wolf teeth to appear.I was going to end this whole drama once and for all here and now.I started to turn ready to pounce on him and throw all caution to the wind but a guard briskly walked into the room, interrupting my moment of madness."Your Highness, The Alpha of the West is here," the guard said.I had one more opponent to face but I did not see it as that. I saw it as another opportunity to fully unleash my anger.I let out a low grunt as my wolf fought to take full control of my body.She felt I was wasting time and wanted me to attack so fast but unlike her, I was always well-prepared before a hunt. I never went on a hunt without first assessing my prey's strengths and weaknesses, especially at this time when my opponent was stronger than I was.Alpha Lartes did not say a word to the guard nor did he take his eyes off me. I could still feel them on me and I k

XAVIER'S POVI watched as a cloud of sadness passed over her face. It happened so fast that if I had not been carefully watching her, I would have missed it.She did not say anything immediately and I understood this was because she was trying to gain the composure my last words had caused her to lose."You say I am not part of you?" She asked with a strong voice devoid of the sadness I was expecting her voice to carry.I did not answer her question. I sat quietly watching her.A small smile started to play on her lips and I wondered what could be going on in that despicable mind of hers.She took two slow steps closer towards me making her stand over me. I braced up for a confrontation.Although I was still relatively bigger than she was even when sitting, her standing over me gave her an imposing stature.My wolf growled."You know if I am not a friend, then I have nothing else to be than a foe. Are you sure you want me as an enemy Xavier?" She said strongly, she then kept quiet all

XAVIER'S POVIt hurt me to tell her those words more than it had hurt her and I wondered why.She had finally joined the family.My suspicions about her being my Uncle's informant were still not out of the books. If she thought she had won me over then she was a bigger fool than I was."When am I going to be meeting them?" She asked me."When I take you there," I answered dismissively. I didn't want the conversation to continue.I needed to find a way to tell my fellow comrades that the woman whom my uncle had forced upon me had now joined us. I wondered what their reaction was going to be like. Were they going to think that I had finally lost my mind? I was sure a couple of them already suspected that. I dismissed the thoughts before I heard her voice again."I want to meet them this night," She said sternly."No," I replied sternly as well.I expected her to insist and we would have to do a back-and-forth argument but then she kept quiet and let my decision stand.I watched her ever

ANNA'S POV"Come in!" I said to whosoever was knocking as I needed the distraction it would bring.A maid walked in. When she saw Xavier and I sitting next to each other, she quickly dropped her eyes and I could see the look of shame on her face as she must have figured that she had interrupted something."His Highness has requested that you join him for dinner tonight, Your Highness," The maid spoke quickly."Thank you. Tell him we will honour his invitation," I answered without a thought.She bowed her head at my words and then practically ran out leaving us both in silence. I could only imagine what the gossip around the palace would be now.I waited for Xavier to say something as I was still, looking straight ahead of me like I was when the maid had come in.Then I felt his body move, then felt his body rise from beside me. I did not turn to look at him even after he walked away.I still sat there, trying to pull myself together.I had messed everything up. I had messed up the opp

ANNA'S POVI did not know what to say to him. I felt so embarrassed as I stood there not knowing what to do.He had not told me where we were going to and so I had not known how to dress. After a lot of deliberation, I opted for a flowy milkmaid dress that was both casual as it was dressy. And for shoes, I had chosen a pair of heeled sandals to go with it. I had let my hair down and had applied very minimal makeup."If you had told me where we were going when I had asked I would have known how to dress accordingly," I spat out my voice heavy with anger.I was so much hurt by his mocking statement because it made me look like I craved his attention and was happy to be taken out on a date with him.It hurt me so bad that I could not unleash this anger on him as we were in the dining room and there were people maids around. If not for them, I would have long attacked the annoying man seated before me making him pay for making me look like a fool.The bloody bastard did not even grant me
