ANNORA Wh—what did I hear him say? I moped at Lord Kairel. My mouth opened in shock as I moped at the man who moped back at me. “Say something, Annora.”Say what exactly? What was he trying to say? A sigh only myself could hear ran out of my mouth. Another sigh ran out, and I caught up with the same couch I asked him to sit on - more than grateful he did not sit. I didn't know what to say. What was I supposed to say to such a request? “I—” I moped at him. “I don't know, Lord Kairel. Are you even sure about what you speak of?” “I'm more than sure—” He walked to the front of the couch, kneeling so that our faces could meet. “I'm more than sure of what I say, Annora. All I need you to do or say is agree to come with me, and that would be all.” That would be all? What happens to my child? A child that belongs to Aegon, who I knew would do anything to keep me under his roof? Under his watch also. Another sigh ran out of my mouth, and I looked up to meet his gaze again - Lord Ka

KAIREL Another morning - another day to try again. What else was I willing to try if not convince Annora to leave with me by dawn? Aegon's words from the other day at the diner made me think all through the week, right from the moment Annora could not provide me with a ‘yes’.Maybe Aegon was right. Maybe he meant it when he said she would choose him over me - even though I hadn't completely confirmed that. But I was willing to try again for the second time. And the last time, of course. Waking up this morning, I felt good. Maybe more than good because this day would decide what my fate with Annora would become. That was all I wanted. I wanted to know - just as Aegon had made me suggest. Standing on my feet, I snatched a towel from the closet and caught up with the bathroom - more than ready for a bath as I planned to be at Annora's chamber before the next hour ended. That was what my day would be about. It didn't take long for me to be done with my bath, and I was hurrying

WENDELINE Late in the afternoon on this day, I spent a whole hour getting ready to meet the love of my life - Kairel. He was staying back in the Pack and this was right after I pleaded with him to not leave. How could he not stay back when he realized I would be a lonely person if he left? Especially after professing my love to him. A smile came on my countenance. I heaved a sigh this time around, hungry - realizing also that there was a need to eat something before I would leave for the chamber where the love of my life existed. “Will that be all, my lady?” Startled, I snapped out of my thoughts, recalling that there existed a maid with me in the chamber. “No. That should be all, or maybe not. I believe I am hungry and in need of food to eat before I leave this chamber.” “What shall I bring?” “Food. Anything at all. All I know is that I am hungry.” The door made a sound. I knew I was the only one in the chamber, so I walked to the couch with aid from my stick, taking a seat

WENDELINE Catching up with the door of my chamber, I walked into the space with the same tears that welled up in my eyes, running down my face. A loud shout ran out of my mouth as I fell on the bed. Many more tears ran down my face as I wondered about what came over me. It was unbelievable that I would speak to Ian like this and in this manner. More shouts ran out of my mouth. “My lady—” I heard a woman call from the door where she was. “Are you doing okay?” She knocked on the door and asked. “Would you need me to bring you something?” “Shut up!” I shouted at her. “And get out of my chamber!” Adding to it, I found myself on the ground and pacing the space - mouthing words I could not even hear. Anger welled up in my bones and I let out another cry. Standing back on my feet after pacing the space and sitting down on the couch a while ago, I walked to the window, leaning on it so that I could take a lookout. The wolves of the Pack, as usual, went ahead with their activities. Tod

100 - The TruthANNORAWh—what was she doing at the door of my chamber? “Do you know what you're talking about, Sora?” Maybe she had too much to drink the night before. “I'm more than sure, my lady.” These words were not enough and I was left with no choice but to catch up with the door so that I could take a look. She was the one right there. “Lady Wendeline—” myself and Sora echoed at the same time. “Open the door.” I added when the Alpha's sister knocked once again. “We can't keep her waiting.” The door was pushed and she walked in. Her fragrance filled my nose but why should I care? All I wanted was for Wendeline to be done with whatever it is she has come to do, and then be gone from my chamber. Sora was the only company I needed. “Lady Annora—” she was smiling. “Maid Annora.” She corrected with the wicked smile that I could see on her countenance. “It is nice to see you again.”Indeed. It was nice to see her too. No, it wasn't. “Good day to you, Lady Wendeline—” I bow
