I closed my eyes and smiled. I didn’t know what happened to Cameron, so he was hungry and thirsty for me. Then I remembered something. Touching my belly, I wondered if I was already pregnant. It might be the reason Cameron wanted me more. Many people say pregnant women shine differently. I wanted to spend more hours in bed, but then there was a click on the front door. “Cameron? Is that you?” There was no voice. So I wrapped myself in the blanket. “Cameron?” Then, two guards stared at me. “Anna Warren?” “Yes?” “You come with us now.” I frowned. “Why? I’m waiting for Cameron, our Beta.” “It’s Alpha Horace’s order.” I gasped and nodded. “I will get dressed first. Please wait for me.” Then I rushed upstairs. I washed my body quickly with soap, dried my body, and put on clothes in a minute. I brushed my hair and sighed. My lips were swollen, and I couldn’t do anything about that. Yet it must be important, as Alpha Horace wanted me to meet him. I wanted to make a good impression o
I went to the Hurricane Dawn Pack. Alpha Horace smiled as he greeted me in his living room. He asked his maid to call Lisa. When Lisa saw me, she immediately pulled my hand. “Lisa, where do you want to go?” “Come! Follow me! I have great news!” She rushed to bring me to a rose garden. In a secluded spot, she took my hand and put it on her belly. “I’m pregnant.” “Oh, congratulations!” I scratched at my nape. Lisa was weird, as if she acted like someone else. “Cameron, when will our marking ceremony take place? We must hurry. I don’t want our pup to be an illegitimate one.” I frowned. “What do you mean?” “I want you as my mate as soon as possible. When I deliver the pup, I don’t want everyone to question me.” I nodded. “I see. Then no worries. We can have the ceremony next week. Nate will be happy to hear that.” Lisa tilted her head to one side. “Nate? Why?” Something was definitely wrong. “Nate, my foster brother. Remember? He’s your mate.” Lisa shook her head. “No, you are
Lisa touched my face and kissed my lips. She took my hand and placed it on her belly. “Do you want our pup to be a boy or a girl?” “The pup is Nate’s, not mine.” Lisa shook her head. “You are confused. Maybe your mistress has bewitched you. The pup’s yours!” “Lisa, please. I have never touched you, let alone mated with you. How can I impregnate you?” Lisa’s condition seemed more severe than what Nate said. I needed to go home soon and tell Nate what had happened. Lisa walked back and forth. “I know I must be patient with you. Your mistress is a witch who tried to manipulate you into forgetting me. It doesn’t matter. I will win you back no matter how long it takes.” Then she hugged my waist. Then I focused my mind on remembering Anna. I hated to hurt her. Anna might misunderstand what happened, considering Lisa’s condition right now. I doubted it was because of her trauma. Maybe her father or Bill influenced Lisa’s mind. After a minute, somehow I could move my body again. The r
~ Lisa ~After having his pup, Cameron suddenly changed. Why did he hurt me? Did he only want my body? I massaged my temple because I suddenly got a severe headache. Susanne knocked on the door and glanced at me. “Miss Lisa, are you alright?”I only sighed as an answer. “Cameron denied my pup as his.”Susanne approached me and asked, “What did you say?”“What? To Cameron?”“No, I mean, what did you just say to me?”“Oh, Cameron denied my pup as his.” I moaned and put my hand on my forehead. “How can it be? We spent hours mating. How could he forget that?”“Miss Lisa—”“I love him, Susanne! But he wanted to give me to Nate. Imagine that!”“Miss Lisa, but it’s the right thing to do.”I frowned and glanced at Susanne. “What did you say?”“It’s the right thing to do. I don’t know what happened to you, but the one who mated with you was Delta Nathanael, not Beta Cameron. The pup is not Beta Cameron’s pup.”“Out! I don’t want to see you!”“Miss Lisa, something terribly wrong must happen to
~ Anna/Victoria ~They locked me in a bedroom. I missed Cameron …. It was a few hours from the time they took me here, but it was as if it were days already. What was Cameron doing right now? It was too bad we hadn’t marked each other yet. Otherwise, I could contact him through the mind link. Cameron, where were you? Someone opened the door. A maid came with a food tray. “Miss, it’s your lunch.”“Please leave it on the table.”The maid did. But before she left the room, I asked her, “Do you hear anything about Beta Cameron?”The maid shook her head. “Beta Cameron? I’m not sure. Yet I heard we will have a new Luna soon.”“A new Luna?”“Yes. Beta Cameron will have the marking ceremony in the Hurricane Dawn Pack with Delta Lisa Shadow. They are a great couple.”“Do you hear when the marking ceremony will take place?”“It’s three days from now.”I said no more because frustration and sadness hit me hard. In three days, Cameron would be Lisa’s. I was afraid, though Cameron convinced me it
~ Cameron/Constantine ~My father asked me to meet him. I wondered what he wanted for me, as I had agreed to have the marking ceremony with Lisa in three days. He didn’t glance at me when I entered his office."Father, what do you want to discuss with me?""Sit down first." My father stood and walked to the window. He stared through the window for a while. Then he walked over and sat next to me. "There’s something I want to let you know." But then he said nothing."Yes, what is it, Father?""It’s about your mistress.""Will you let her go? I will have the marking ceremony with Lisa in three days. So, I hope it’s enough to satisfy you.""Not so fast. I can’t let her go, at least not until you have been Lisa’s mate officially."I let out a breath. "You said you wanted to talk with me about Anna. Is she okay?""She is okay. But I have something you need to think about." My father said nothing for a while. Then, when he finally stared at me, he said, "Anna is pregnant.""Oh! It’s great ne
"I will do what I planned." Then I shrugged. "I will have the marking ceremony with Lisa in three days. At least it will satisfy Father and Alpha Fred. It will buy time for me to find out where Father keeps Anna.""I will try to find information for you too," Nate said. "Besides, it’s my fault you need to do this."I shook my head. "No, Nate. We both know that it’s all about Alpha Fred’s pride." Then I remembered something. "What will you do if Lisa is still under the false influence? I don’t know what it is, either drugs or brainwashing, but it must have happened, since she’s unlike her usual self."Nate looked away. "I never thought I would find my mate, you know. Because of that, I agreed to be your replacement. But after finding out Lisa is the one for me, I will do anything to keep her.""What if I can’t send her to you as soon as possible? What if I need to touch her?"Nate closed his eyes. His face hurt, but then he opened his eyes again and looked me in the eye. "In that case,
~ Cameron/Constantine ~I heard Lisa came to our pack to meet Nate. Two guards sent me a message about it. I was relieved to know that. Maybe Lisa was drugged. It made sense because she was weird when I met her in her pack. The problem now was how to locate Anna. I already asked around, but none dared to tell me where my father took her. Where should I begin? Could it be that Father sent Anna somewhere far from here? It’s the most reasonable. Yet the question was still the same: where must I search for her? Another question was, how could I find her? If I tried to find her, my father might send her away. Then somehow I remembered Jack’s woman. She was Anna’s friend in the lousy house. I contacted Jack immediately through the mind link. ‘Bro, do you want to meet your woman?’‘Huh? Melanie?’‘Who else? Unless you have already had a change of heart and want someone else.’Jack chuckled. ‘I can’t ever win when I debate with you. Yes, sure, I want to meet with the girl.’‘Come to my hous
