“Have you washed your hands?” Anna asked both of the twins again to which they nodded this time around. She left the restroom holding both of her children’s hands and trying to ask herself if this was the time she should start making her excuses to leave. After all, she had stayed to mingle with the crowd and had stayed away from Sophie. But as she spied the MC speaking on the stage, she decided to wait just a little bit. After the speech was over, she could leave.She guided her children to sit at an unoccupied table and beckoned to one of the servers.“Please can you keep an eye on them for me?” She asked the young girl, slipping her a $20 bill. The young server nodded, and Anna thanked her before going in search of her parents.Just as she turned a corner however, she heard the voice of the person she was trying hard to avoid.“I mean, what kind of person gets pregnant and doesn’t know who the father is?” Sophie’s loud voice cackled. Anna spied her sister talking to a few guests wh
Anna found Jacob Touren talking to one of the other guests, an elderly looking businessman.She approached them, her eyes sharp and fierce.“Jacob.” She called him and he turned, seeing the strange look on her face before excusing himself from his conversation and moving to meet her halfway.“Hey,” he said sounding concerned. “What’s the matter?”She opened her mouth about to spill everything but then she paused, looked around her. Too open. She needed a quiet place.“I need to tell you something,” she said. “In private.”Within minutes, Jacob had found a corner where she could properly talk to him, and was surprised when she handed him her phone.“What’s all this about?” His brows were furrowed in confusion. What was going on?“There’s something I need you to see.” Anna was insistent as she played the video she had captured of Sophie and that other man at the party she went to.Jacob was silent as he watched it, and Anna waited until the video was over.He was silent and staring blan
Anna didn’t say a word while Sophie seethed. She had nothing to say, and no desire to appeal to anyone. All she did was respond with a glare colder than the Antarctic.Jacob began speaking again.“You don’t have any right to blame her for this! This is your own doing!” And then he turned to their parents, who stood there in shock and despair. “And you two! You dare to perpetuate this fucking lie to my face! You want me to marry into your family that bad, is it?”Their father began to splutter, raising his hand in surrender as he tried to defend his choices and his daughter.“Jacob, it isn’t like that. You… it’s not as you say. Please understand–““—I understand it all.” He spat back and it was like a slap on his face. Anna watched as her father blinked furiously, looking lost, his gaze turning to Sophie and back to Jacob. But Jacob wasn’t finished. “I need to hear the full story. Now.” He said as he aimed a disgusted glance at Sophie who was sobbing, shaking her head.“It’s all a lie,
“Please…” The girl cried out. “Please…”He persisted, not laying any attention to her. It wasn’t until he finished inside her with a grunt and finally removed his manhood from her throbbing quim that he regarded her.Ethan’s green eyes roved around the naked girl’s body.She was still so delightfully tied up for his pleasure, all for him. But what pleased him even more were the bruises that were littered all over her pale skin. She looked debauched and it was all because of him.The girl groaned in pain, half-conscious.He was done with her, anyway, and he rolled his eyes at her.“So fucking dramatic.” He muttered before walking into the bathrooms. He really needed a shower to wash the scent of the human off of him.By the time he was done, he felt like a whole new man, and his hunger was sated just a little bit. Just a little, he thought.But it wasn’t enough.William’s face came to mind, and he dressed up, his muscles tensed, and his wolf begging to come out. He wished he could beat
Anna huffed as she turned her phone to silent before placing it in her bag. The frustration from receiving numerous calls from her father, mother, and spoiled, furious sister, were too much.She wanted to distance herself from them for now, at least until this scandal died down.Already she had gotten several messages asking about why Sophie’s engagement suddenly ended, and Anna didn’t feel the need to respond to them. It would only compound issues for her.Jacob, at least, had been nice to keep most of the reasons for the engagement being broken off out of the public eye. It had been only a few hours since the engagement party and already damage control had been done. Problem was that news in the elite circles travelled a million light years faster than normal news. It was bound to happen.Anna brushed those thoughts from her mind and focused on her twins, who were sitting peacefully in the cab that she had gotten to take her to work.At least she still had them, she thought.But onl
Anna sighed to herself as she disembarked from the taxi, before turning to hand the driver the fare.She waited for her change, staring over her shoulder at the windows of her parents' home that looked out onto the street. It was already 9pm, and Anna had left her twins for a little while at home so she could do the one thing that Jacob asked her to. That, and to see if talking to her parents was worth doing.As she walked in, she was surprised to find her father seated on the couch, a burnt out cigarette stub in his hand. She had never seen him smoke before.“Dad.” She got his attention, and immediately he stood up and walked over to her.“Where have you been? We’ve been calling you for ages now.”“I’ve been at work, dad.” She sighed, looking around. “Where is mum?”“Inside,” he gestured up the stairs. “Talking to your sister.”Anna’s eyes widened and she immediately looked up the stairs to check if her sister wasn’t about to come down and attack her. Sophie had looked that way last
“Can we go out to eat this time, mom?” Were the first words that Andrew said to Anna as she stepped into the house.“Where’s Andrea?” She asked him instead of answering his questions, turning this way and that to make sure the house was still the same way she had left it.“Here.” The little voice of her daughter made her smile and she looked at those two adorable faces. “I want pizza and chips, mommy. Can we?”“Yeah, can we?”Anna sighed; being a mom, she usually didn’t treat them to takeout and fast food all the time, preferring to meal prep as much as possible.But since they asked so nicely…“Alright, get your jackets. We can go out to eat tonight.” She said to the loud cheers of the twins.…..Ethan snarled to himself as he walked out of the bar. Human girls were quite the frustrating breed. Fragile yet loud mouthed. And most of them seemed to have little to no respect for themselves. None of them had been able to hold his interest this night, for his tastes were… specific, to say
The fear that Anna felt wasn’t for herself but her children.So long as she could get them to safety, she would be okay, she reasoned to herself.But there was no one on this street. Unfortunately Anna had the worst luck right then, for not a soul had passed by.What would happen now?She took a good look at Sophie under the glare of the streetlights, trying to figure out whether she could convince her to let Andrea and Andrew go. But her sister looked like a few chocolate chips short of a cookie.Just as she was about to open her mouth to possibly damn herself and her children, another voice interrupted.“Excuse me.” Sophie’s gaze moved over Anna’s shoulder as a deep baritone voice was heard.Anna didn’t move - the pocket knife looked pretty sharp and Sophie was still brandishing it in her face.“What?!“ Sophie snapped at the man that Anna couldn’t see.“You shouldn’t be threatening people in public like that.” The man said, and Anna felt a shiver run down her spine as he brushed pas
