Lahat ng Kabanata ng Annora: The Alpha's Prey, Beta's Obsession : Kabanata 131 - Kabanata 140

ANNORAHow did I not think about this from the onset? Sora moped at me but she wasn't my problem in the meantime even though it was her assistance I needed in order to achieve this. “My lady?” “Yes, Sora?” I looked up after some time. “You don't want to know what I have come up with. I'll let you know what it is about in a moment.” I adjusted on the bed where I sat. “You like Lord Kairel, don't you?”“My lady—” she cried. “What sort of a question is that?” She adjusted on the couch and looked around the chamber. “I'm not supposed to hate the man, should I?” “That's not what I mean, and you know.” A chuckle escaped my mouth and I was standing on my feet, walking to the couch so that we could stay closer to each other for this conversation. “Do you like Lord Kairel in a way of sex? Even marriage.” I took a seat on the couch next to her. “I like the former Beta.” She admitted. “But I cannot have anything to do with a man who took my best friend to prison even though it wasn't

KAIREL “Wh—what did you just say, Sora?” The woman looked up from the chair where she sat, standing up on her feet. “Yes, Lord Kairel. Shouldn't you be thinking of something you should do to Annora? Doesn't she deserve some kind of punishment for what she's done?” Shock pulled up on my countenance. I didn't know what to say. Was this a setup? I wanted to ask when Sora walked to the door. She opened it slightly and looked out. I could see the body of the guard and then suddenly, Sora turned around to look at me, then shut the door. “What do you want to do to her?” I could not pretend that I wasn't confused, because I was. What was the woman talking about? Should Annora not be her best friend? “I know what's going on in your mind, Lord Kairel. The fact that Annora should be my best friend, isn't it?” She chuckled and let out. “She stopped being my best friend the moment I fell in love with the Alpha. He was supposed to be mine and she was supposed to be yours, but she

ANNORA “Tell me already, what's going on between you and the former Beta.” I urged. Sora heaved a sigh, and then a smile pulled up on her countenance while she adjusted on the couch in my large bedroom space. “I do not appreciate you smiling like that with no words coming out of your mouth, Sora—” I cried. “Don't try to act like you don't know what I'm talking about and now that you do, talk to me.” “My lady—” the woman looked at me with a nod. “The former Beta and I are beginning to get along, even to the point that we like each other.” The announcement sounded like a joke to me but it was Sora and I didn't have a choice but to believe anything that came out of her mouth. “That's—” my mouth opened. “That's unusual.” “I know!” She cried. “I didn't tell you what I did, did I? Well, that's because you asked me to go ahead with whatever I believed was right. So the next week that came was the day I took a tray of food I spent hours cooking early that morning.” “What?!” It w

KAIRELAgain, Sora and I were going to meet. But it was going to be outside my chamber as I had become very tired of being in it all the time. While I walked through the hallway and caught up with the stairs, women from the pack stopped to say a word or even more than one word to me. “Well done,” I would greet them back and wave my hands at them before walking away. Upon my arrival at the end of the stairs, Lady Agnes was standing in front of me with a tray in her hand. “My lord.” She bowed and looked up to meet my gaze. “Do you plan to go out?” “Yes, Agnes. Is there a problem?” “You haven't had anything to eat since morning,” she announced as though I didn't know it was my stomach that was empty, even though she was wrong. “I'm here with a tray of food for you.” “Agnes, thank you.” I took the tray from the woman and began to walk, catching up with the main living room where Annora was seated. “Good evening, lady Annora,” I continued to walk. “I'm hoping that you had a good day

ANNORA Together, myself and my best friend walked out of the chamber this morning. It was a cool morning with a cool breeze blowing around. Just as I had promised the Alpha, I would be at the tailor's shop this morning. As a matter of fact, I needed to see the masterpiece and taste what it was like. “Do you need something before we get there?” Sora's voice cut short my thoughts, stopping me in my feet automatically and I turned around to look at the woman who was smiling up at me. “No. I don't think I'll be needing that.” “A bottle of water, perhaps. Remember the doctor asked us to take as much water as we could. And we don't know how long it'll take us to be done with the tailor, Annora. What do you think?” She was right. Although it was just to test an outfit. But it was supposed to take a long time, or was it not? Again, I stopped in my tracks but didn't turn around to look at Sora who waited for a response. “Get three bottles, Sora. Be fast about it.” “Oh, my l
