SIXTY-EIGHT"Anabelle," Jaxon called out when he noticed that his mate was shaking in her sleep and tears were rolling down her cheeks. After what she had told him, he was certain that she was interacting with the sorceress again. His worry grew by the second when he realised that she was not giving off any signs of waking up, he was worried that she would go into an unconscious state again or worse the sorceress could harm her from within and he would remain here not knowing what to do...watch as he lost his mate. He growled lowly when he thought about harm coming to Anabelle, he could not watch as something from his family's past ruined his life...his woman.He wiped the wetness that graced her cheeks and carried her in his arms off the couch where they had drifted off to sleep. He headed toward the door and left the house and was quick to put her in the passenger's seat, reclining it until the end...he wanted to make sure that he could still see her. He climbed into the driver's s
SIXTY-NINE"It is so time-wasting how I have to do this in order to have you by my side," Anabelle looked at him with confusion clear on her face but soon she realised what the man meant. Images of everything that happened in her life formed in front of her eyes. Mr and Mrs Maxwell were there, calling at her as she rode her bike away from them...they were also there when they looked at her with fond smiles on her graduation day. Their faces when they were losing their lives and the eyes of her mate looking straight at her the moment when she stood in between her father and Jaxon's wolf to defend her family. She saw it all in a flash, how her mate scratched her neck and attacked her family."See that Anabelle, of all bonds the moon goddess has ever paired yours, was disastrous on the meeting." Amaris' voice intruded on her thoughts. Before Anabelle could respond the images of her body in the shoe box cell, in the worst state she had ever seen herself. Hair mated to the body, splotche
SEVENTYThe surroundings were beginning to brighten up as morning was slowly rising but Cora was still in a car with Micah in the driver's seat following behind the trackers. The ride was longer than they expected and they were far gone from their pack's boundaries. Cora kept on sighing and telling Micah to drive faster but that did not make a difference because their speed depended on the trackers. Taylor and Danielle were in the back, silent as ever. "Why would they need to come so far?" Cora muttered under her breath. They were driving into a small town and the trackers were still moving ahead of the two cars until they stopped in front of a building. Cora immediately recognised the two cars that were parked in front of the building, Jaxon's car and Alec's car. She got out of the car before Micah could even stop the car, she ran to the entrance of the building and knocked on the glass nonstop. She opened the door and invited herself inside when no one came to open the door. Soon
SEVENTY-ONE"What have you done to my mate?" Jaxon asked as he got up balancing his body by holding on to the wall. "She is no longer your mate but my daughter and I have promised her to hurt you as you did her," Amaris replied, a smirk forming on Anabelle's face.Anabelle's lips were the ones that were moving but the voice was not hers, the smooth and cold voice was one that Jaxon was unable to remember. He had never heard this voice but he was aware that this was the voice of his tormentor, his worst nightmare...the person that had cursed his family. He looked into the steely eyes that had clouded over Anabelle's warm green ones. He could not even sense Anabelle anymore, a dominant aura was covering the entire room like a plague. Mr Cray and his sister were already on the floor with their heads bowed, submitting to the stronger power in the room. Even Jaxon could feel the power but he was never one to submit easily and he had to fight in order to save his love."Stop controlling he
SEVENTY-TWO"Alpha!" Someone yelled out and opened the door to Jaxon's office abruptly. Danielle was breathless when she fell into the room and looked at the people in the room. The room was filled with the most influential and powerful warriors with the beta and Alpha. The room was definitely not a good place for an omega because immediately when she burst into the room she felt like falling to the floor on her knees and submitting. Danielle really hated the submissive nature of omegas, their stature in the pack hierarchy made them naturally submissive to anyone higher. She knew that stumbling into the Alpha's important meeting without knocking was a sign of disrespect and Jaxon could punish her in any way he pleased but she thought it important that he be notified of what was going on."What is this, Danielle?" Jaxon tilted his head and glared at her. He was more than exasperated because of what had happened and he did not want his time to be wasted."Ou-outside...the-the sky," Dan
SEVENTY-THREEJaxon wanted to plunge his claws into Amaris, he had felt anger before but he was livid. All his life when people angered him there was no Anabelle but now she was there and this person had dared to mess with his mate. He glared at Amaris and growled, a loud and vicious growl filled the air. Amaris only smirked more when he knew that he had angered Jaxon. Everything around him was starting to blur and the only thing he could see was the glowing person in the air, his anger had fully clouded his sense of judgement. He was about to stand to attack when he realised that there was a weight in his arms, he looked down and his anger dissipated when his eyes fell on his mate's beautiful face. Jaxon knew that he could not afford to lose his cool, although he did not trust any other person except for himself to protect his mate he carried her and ushered her into Micah's arms because he was the closest to him. He turned back to face the threat while Micah knew what he had to do
SEVENTY-FOURVera's leg was shaking nonstop, the heel of her shoe making noise and her arms were crossed in front of her arms. Millions of thoughts and possibilities were going through her mind. She knew that if Anabelle had been in her place she would have been the first one to fight for her, she would not be seated and waiting on news as she was. Anabelle would not have been in this room like her, she would have risked everything to save her. She was angry at herself for staying back when her best friend needed her. She should have guessed before that either Jaxon or Alec would try to stop her in some way or another. Alec had called Milo to look after Vera and that meant not letting her out of his sight. Vera could not blame Milo as he sat on the bed eyeing her, he was only carrying out the Beta's order and keeping his mate safe. She was angry at him because he did not understand a word she had said since he locked her in this room. Milo kept on saying that he was doing it in order
SEVENTY-FIVEAmaris knew that he could win with one move but he decided to let Anabelle have her fun. In the end, whether he won or "lost" he would continue with his plans, nothing could stop him. He considered this fight as a little treat before the actual meal, it was a way to pass the time as his mind came up with more ways to end Jaxon Ryker and the werewolves. He could defeat Anabelle with his eyes closed, he was her after all. Whatever she knew, he knew...all the knowledge of fighting that she had gained from those two warriors. He was definitely better at fighting compared to her because he had learnt over the years of roaming the mortal world. Anabelle and Amaris had been going at each other for quite some time, and none of them was yet to land a hit. While Anabelle was the one throwing all the attacks, Amaris continued to easily avoid her hits smoothly. It seemed to everyone that was watching that Amaris knew Anabelle's moves more than herself. Amaris was smiling while Anabe
