Anna stared at the sleeveless deep blue gown she wore with a pair of silver heels in the full-length mirror, she turned left and right while smoothing out the gathering of the dress and looking her appearance over. It was one of the few dresses she had brought over and even though it was a simple dress, it accentuated her thin figure perfectly.She glanced at her already brushed hair, smoothened it down, and adjusted the curls at its tip before walking out of the walk-in closet. She had chosen another room at the far end of the hall on the fourth floor, making sure it was far away from Myron’s room to avoid any form of trouble in the future. Even though it was not as big and as elegant as the previous one, it had a balcony facing the thick forest that surrounded the blood moon pack and that was a relief as it meant more alone time with nature, but it was a little too dusty when they found it. Due to the situation of the room, Erika had forced her to stay in the previous one until i
Anna rolled over on her bed, groaned, and covered her eyes with her palm, shielding her eyes from the morning sun that shined mercilessly on her face through the curtain gap in the window, she opened her eyes groggily feeling very tired and sleepy as she stared at the ceiling blankly. "My Plants!" She exclaimed suddenly and jumped out of bed onto her feet, throwing away the bed covers in the process and rushing out of her room in nothing more than the cotton night dress that she wore before going to bed last night. She stopped short on the corridor and blinked twice at the unfamiliar surroundings, she looked around, still not remembering where she was or how she got there. She walked forward barefoot scratching her slightly itchy and messy bed hair, her mind still foggy from sleep. She came to a stop at the top of the stairs and looked down sleepily, just at that same moment, Myron, who was running up the stairs drenched in sweat from a morning routine workout, stopped short in his
Breakfast was as uneventful as it had been the previous night, other than Erika and Winston who joined them halfway through it, no one else came. Erika chatted nonstop, while the others listened and commented once in a while to her, no one missing the sight of Winston carefully selecting her meals and watching over her in a loving way that could make any woman envious. He carefully told her to eat slowly whenever she chewed too fast, and to finish chewing before she spoke, whenever she spoke with food in her mouth, causing Anna to smile at them. This was the life she had imagined for herself, a life filled with love, laughter, and the care of her mate, just like in the fairy tales she had read, but instead…, she glanced at Myron, who did not even say a single word to her or anybody as he ate and sighed. If he was mateless, then maybe she would have tried to make them work, after all, he was handsome and all, but there was a mate, and the thought of her existence was like a cloud ha
Myron rushed up the stairs, taking it two at a time and soon, he was on the fourth floor. He walked past his room to the room at the far end of the corridor with a frown on his face as he wondered why she chose that room when she should be beside him. He shook his head, pushing away the strange thoughts, he didn't need her by his side, he already had Avi, his mate by his side. He told himself, he was just here to make sure she stops being a nuisance to his friends as he should since he was the Alpha. He convinced himself and took a deep breath as he came to a stop in front of her door. He knocked twice but received no response from the other side of the room, he could feel his wolf perk up with curiosity and desire to meet her again and he couldn't help but wonder if she was asleep already as he didn't hear any movement from her side of the room. He raised his hands to knock again but heard Anna’s voice from the other side of the room. “Just come right in, Erika, no need to be so
Avi lay on her side seven-by-seven bed watching Myron sleep with fascination. Since she had been a little girl, since she had first seen him, and since she had been informed she would be his delta, he had been the man of her dreams and the only one who could grant her heart’s deepest desires. Whether it was scaring all the nosy women that surrounded him when they were growing up, whether it was to train so hard that she got his approval, whether it was to make women he looked at twice disappear, she had done all those things and she did not regret a single one of them. How could she, when all her hard work paid off when the man she did all those things for was laying right here in her bed? He had come to her. The corner of her lips raised in a broad smile as she pulled her hands from under the quilt and traced the bridge of Myron’s nose with her index finger gently, a smile of fascination and worship for his beauty playing on her lips as she stared him, she moved closer and perked
A broad smile appeared on Anna's face as the wind blew against her face, sweeping tendrils of her hair into her face. The wind was slightly chilly and Kraktos body felt warm against her skin as he sprinted through the forest, she clung onto him a little tighter enjoying the warmth of his furred body and subconsciously finding comfort from his scent. As exciting as the ride was, she couldn't see much, the forest floor through which they ran was dark, and the vegetation was sparse with large canopies of trees hanging over their heads making it even darker under the moonless sky, giving one the illusion of things lurking in the dark. Anna closed her eyes, pushing away all the thoughts and worries from her head, her homesickness curing in an instant letting her mind calm and allowing her to enjoy the relish of the ride. She didn't know how long Kraktos ran for or how long she slept for but halfway through the ride she slept off, by the time she woke up, the sun had begun to rise, it wa
Anna opened her eyes a few hours later, the day was bright and the sun was up in the sky, she sighed with lack of interest and sat up on her bed, just as she did, she heard a knock on her door and looked up. "Come in." She answered, the door opened and the only other person who seemed nice to her aside Erika walked in. She was Marionette, the omega in charge of cleaning her room. "Good morning princess." She greeted Anna, addressing her in the familiar way the omegas in the palace used to greet her, smiling as she stared down at Anna who was lying in bed. "Good morning Marionette,” Anna sat up, “I told you to stop calling me princess. Just Anna is fine." Anna chirped as she got out of bed and pushed her now loose hair away from her face. She walked towards the bathroom, while Marionette smiled without giving a response. Anna's scolding was the same every morning, whenever she walked in and greeted her with the title princess, Anna responded and informed her to call her by her na
The rest of the meal went uneventful, maybe for the others, but Anna was fuming and she couldn’t even explain why. Somehow, her eyes seem to always drift to Myron, and seeing him focused on Avi while they gave a public display of affection made her mad. Every time she saw them her heart clenched a little tighter, even her wolf snorted at them and gave snarky comments once in a while.Why was she like this? What was happening to her? She wondered with a frown and stared at her slightly shaking hands. Why was she so mad, she doesn’t even care about the Alpha. She had her own mate… The moment her heart went to her mate again, it clenched in pain and she almost felt like she was going to suffocate. She needed fresh air. She dropped her cutlery and wiped her lips, trying to act as calmly as she could.She stood up and left the dining room, walking out directly almost as if there was someone after her, not giving anyone a chance to say a word to her, she couldn’t afford to spend one more
