Zach looked so happy as well, as if there was nothing in this world that could replace this moment with her. “I wish you’d always be this happy, kitten. You look even more beautiful when you’re so full of joy.” “Well, perhaps today joy is my friend,” Anna replied confidently. It’s been so long since she felt true happiness. Ever since Lola died, it felt like she’d been hiding from something, running away from the truth. But revenge had been served and still she had felt so empty.

He was the Crown Prince now, by divine decree, but the weight of it seemed to crush him. Queen Anna entered the room, her footsteps heavy. She didn't wear her jewels anymore.

“It’s been a while. I feel a little... rusty.” Vivian grinned, her voice brimming with confidence. “Leave that to me. I’ve got a few connections. Let me pull some strings, press a few buttons—see what’s out there.” “Thank you,” Anna said, her lips curling into a grateful smile. --- Anna stepped through the tall glass doors of the Power Group building the next morning. She’d just dropped her car off at the mechanic’s. Dressed in a crisp white blouse tucked into a pair of classic denim jeans, she kept it simple but elegant.

They freshened up and began to get ready as they were to visit the club. It was some minutes after they reached the club and had some drinks too. Anna was surprised when Will let her drink after the incident of reunion night. She was on her second glass of wine and she was feeling a bit tipsy already, but she was sober enough to continue playing. They had only just finished the second round.

Derrick was the man running the pack for eight years, but now he was crying like a baby. I watched her. I did not stop her. Ronald did not stop her either. The guards were shocked. They looked at us for orders, but I held up my hand. I wanted to see what she would do. She was amazing. She had no wolf, but she was beating a Beta in front of two Kings. "And that," Anna said, giving him one last kick, "is for the rain." She stood up and fixed her leather jacket. She looked at Derrick like he was gross. Then she walked back to Ronald. She grabbed her phone from his hand. She did not even say thank you. Ronald just stood there with his mouth open. He looked at her like she was a goddess.

But my mind was elsewhere, spinning with the new information I had received from Elena. Anna was planning a solo trip with Owen, just the two of them, away from the city.

Once convinced, she adjusted her attire and exited the room. With dusk encroaching, darkness draped the dock, intensifying its already desolate atmosphere. Suddenly, the silence shattered under the rhythm of high heels. The door creaked open, revealing a slender figure silhouetted against the cabin's entrance. Anna concealed her identity behind a baseball cap and mask, allowing only he

Anna now realizes that she is immune to physical pain. Day after day passed again. Anna remained in that cell, cooped up, with her blood being drawn over and over again. Her wounds healed quickly, and even her tongue began to grow back, making everyone believe that she was indeed a witch. Until, exactly a month after Anna was locked up, the king let her out. She was led to an open field, under heavy guard, of course. There, the king and his family had gathered. And of course, there were the commoners. Anna wondered if she would be executed that day.

"Thanks. These days, the less I have to waddle, the better." "In a few more weeks, you and Andy will present Mom and Dad with their first grandchild, and take the pressure off the rest of us," Anna smirked comically. Her sister-in-law laughed. "It'll be your turn one of these days." Anna waved her hand dismissively as she strode to the front door and faced the room. "Hello, everyone! I'm Anna Graves. If you're in a cabin for the next two weeks, follow me. We'll get you all settled in so you can explore Sweetwater Ranch a little bit before lunch is served."

"It's unacceptable and neither Alpha Derrick nor Luna Martha would like to hear that-" "W-Why would you think that? Of course not. Leroy is my flesh and blood-" "I'm not interested in your family drama," Anna cut her short. "Maybe I would be if I was still in my twenties," she paused.
