Anna's POV Nicholas helped me down from the horse before getting off himself. I took a look around again and realized we were standing close to a spring that seemed uninhabited, it was even uninhabitable."Why are we stopping over?" I asked, squeezing my face as I didn't understand what he was up to "Stopping over? This is our destination!" He found a stump and tied the horse down. He walked past me as I was standing cluelessly.I looked up ahead at the water then the small shrubs, trying to find a path or any sign of habitation, a house, a hut, or a cave I couldn't find any. Yet, Nicholas continued as if he were following a map."Young lady! Are you sure he isn't crazy? Going deep into the bush without looking back to check on a beautiful thing like you. Pathetic!" The voice speaking definitely belonged to an old woman, but for a moment, I thought it was in my head.When I finally realized there was someone behind me, I jumped away and fell on the ground, the old woman came closer

Anna's POV Nicholas finally sighed deeply. He howled loudly and his wolf hair appeared on his body, it seemed like he was about to shift with his eyes glowing Knowing how bad that could be, I took the book from him and rubbed his chest to calm him down. Despite calming down, he kept thumping his feet on the ground while the whole chamber kept shaking."Just take it easy, Nick!" I appeased him as his long, deep breaths were not just scary to me, they also made me worry.After a while, he looked down into my eyes and murmured for a while before his voice became audible."I promise you, you are never going to die. Nothing can take you away from me, not even death." He hurried away to the bedside.As he was now calm, I took the opportunity to grab Daisy's diary to read through and know why he was so enraged."No!" I didn't know when the scream left my lips as I glanced through it. "Is Agartha's prophecy really going to come to pass?" I rushed to the bedside to meet Nicholas."What's th

Anna's POV For a while, I didn't understand what was happening. Daisy was now on the ground with the dagger thrown away from her hand as she tried to pick it up. It actually seemed like the dagger threw Daisy away. "What's this? Where did you get this, witch?" she asked as she struggled to get up. "Just go and never come back to bother me!" I covered my ears with my hands and yelled to make my voice travel far. "I can't let you be. You deserve to die. You are the cause of our problem." She rushed to me immediately she got up and strangled me. Her grip was so strong that I started choking instantly. "Just die. This place is peaceful before you came." Her words seemed strange and she no longer sounded like Daisy. Apart from her words that had changed, her voice had also become distorted. "Let go of me!" Using my last strength, I pulled her dress and bit her ear. She quickly released me and held onto her bleeding ear. "Blood? No!" She touched her ear and looked at her hand

Linda's POV When Tuba made the claim, I didn't believe him, I just played along because there was no other option at that time. But when Noelle came to me yesterday, I felt like bowing to Tuba.Covered by the darkness of the night, I entered Tuba's house and sat myself down, wondering where he was.Suddenly, my eyes caught some blood stains on the ground. As I traced the stain, I was shocked to realize that it wasn't just a stain but a pool of blood.Sensing danger, I got up and rushed out of the house only to find Tuba on the other side of the house, holding his belly where blood was gushing out."What's wrong with you?" I rushed over to him but I was too scared to touch him. He was even drenched enough to make me drenched too."Help me, Luna!" He rolled his eyes strangely in their sockets. "It's Noelle!""That's a lie!" I turned away and responded before he could finish his words. "I have been monitoring her movement and I can't confidently say that she didn't do this!""She didn't

Anna's POV "What have you done, Noelle? What did you say to Linda?" Nicholas fumed as he came into the chambers, repeating the question he had asked thousands of times.As he kept asking, I also kept lying to him.But this time, it seemed like I had no choice but to say the truth, his anger was scary."I already told you..." I still tried to chime in a lie for the last time but he didn't let me finish the words."...That you were taking a walk and you ran into her?" he interrupted with his voice hard. "So, can you explain why those JPF delegates are here again, looking for you?"If I were told this like a week ago, I might feel sad, but right now, a strange kind of happiness fills my mind. I was going to be free of this guilt; I would get the judgment I deserved."They are here?" I asked in excitement while a part of my mind started praying for Linda. "They are really here?" I asked again as Nicholas was too confused to answer me.He was utterly confused by my excitement. He sighed d

Anna's POV I had only spent two days in the dungeon but it felt like it had been a year since I was brought here. Just a loaf of bread served once a day was the norm.As a suspected murderer, I had a whole cell room to myself so that I wouldn't kill another inmate. This morning, I had gotten up early to hold onto the bars but it wasn't like the cells in Alpha Jake's Fort.I knew no one would come but I kept hoping. For hours, I was there until I started dozing. After being snapped away by some clanging of keys. I hissed, thinking it was the guard who used to bring the forsaken loaf of bread."Lady Noelle, how have you been?" Alpha Anthony greeted me with sadness all over his face.Before I could respond, he unlocked the bars and let me out."Why are you letting me out?" I asked wearily, unsure of what was happening. "We have conducted the investigation. Daisy's corpse is here, we have retrieved it from the tomb. We just want you to see for yourself!" He led the way back to the main

Anna's POV It was the day of the hearing. For a lot of people, it might be a day of sadness but to me it wasn't, I could even feel my excitement.As I was taken out of the dungeon by the guards, I met Nicholas in the hallway."Lady Noelle!" he called out loudly.I wouldn't have answered him but I had no choice. After glancing around and realizing there was no way to avoid him, I stood my ground."The mask is still on your face, which tells me a part of you is still intact," he said with a smile after he had walked up to us.I felt angered as he said that, I wanted to remove the mask but I still couldn't, a part of me was stopping me."Can I see her for a few minutes, alone?" He signaled to the guards to give us some distance. "I think I have now understood you, Noelle. Looking at it from your perspective, you believe everyone has to face the consequences of their actions."I felt a bit relieved.'Why couldn't he think like this all these days?'"And what's bad in that?" My tongue loo

Anna's POV "Your name is Noelle!" The man sat in front of me. Despite the mask on his face, I could still feel his piercing eyes look deeply into mine. "My name is Nicholas. Try and remember!"I gazed around the chamber, ignoring him for a while."That was a hearing going on, why was I there? Why are they asking me all those questions?" My mind drifted back to where Nicholas brought me from. None of it was understandable to me."Because you forced them to organize a hearing for you. You want them to kill you. They didn't want to but you gave them no choice," Nicholas explained after he had taken his time to make it up, probably."Who is that woman? The one you called Linda," I couldn't stop seeing her face whenever I closed my eyes. The way she kept fighting for the hearing to continue even after everyone had agreed to cancel it. It seemed like she had a personal grudge with me, but every time our eyes met, she would be smiling."I'm glad that you remember her. She is the second pers

Anna's POV Nicholas just sneered and ignored my question. He took the lead and I followed him as he walked through the hallway sharply.Alpha Jake was waiting for him in the range. Though he didn't bow to him, the respect oozing all over his body was more than bowing.'Why would an Alpha revere a guest this much?'Even if he was superior, this was Alpha Jake's Fort. He wouldn't accept receiving training in the presence of his subordinates unless there was something that wasn't clear to the public."You brought her today, I am not expecting that," Alpha Jake said, like a joke, and beamed a pleasant smile at me. As our eyes met, I felt something and it took a while before I could understand it. I had a special feeling for him, a soft spot. A feeling that turned me on, it seemed like this feeling wasn't new, it was like something I had before, which I couldn't remember now that I had lost my memory, but I could still feel that I enjoyed it."Alpha Jake, you really look good. With a swo

Anna's POV Nicholas acted as if he didn't hear what I said, he just turned and left the range hurriedly but he couldn't hide his pain.I rushed after Alpha Jake to catch up with him, this would be a good time to talk and tell him everything that he needed to know."I hope you regain your memory soon! Nicholas doesn't have that much patience." Alpha Jake turned to face me before I could reach him."So what will he do?" I quickly moved to his side. "Start a war against our pack? He's alone right now, if we kill him now, we have nothing else to worry about!" I said with intensity for Alpha Jake to rethink deeply."It's our pack, not your pack. You are not included, you belong to his pack!" He tried to clarify and he looked a bit annoyed that I wasn't understanding him."I understand that you are afraid of his power. He told me about it, but we are alone now. We can defeat him if we come up with a good plan." I pulled him close gently.He quickly pushed me away and looked around suspicio
