Cuffs were the worst! Especially silver cuffs made specifically for Werewolves. She had always put them on her targets but wearing one now, she finally got a taste of her own medicine.“Hey, how do you think we're gonna share the money?”The guards behind her joked. They must feel very important to have caught Anastasia Robi– one of the most wanted criminals in the state now. She was suspected of three crimes; Her Alpha, Brianna Miller and Commander Gael.“You think you can beat her in an arm wrestling match?” One of them asked and Anna rolled her eyes.“Sure, I mean… pft! I'm buffed,” the one by her left bragged and Anna glanced at him. He was a lot bigger than LeRoy-Ugh! She said she wasn't going to think about him. It was too late though, the guilt already stamped its presence in her heart.“That doesn't matter. I hear she has the strength of a hundred men put together.”Her lips twitched at their praises but she kept her head down. The smell of her burning flesh irritating even t
“I don't remember much of what happened that day,” Nathan continued his storytelling. Anna didn't mind it though, they had a lot of time to wait… for Leroy to show up.Why did it feel as though she was leading him to his doom?“He left me with nothing. Grandfather was the only one I had. My father died when I was very young and my mother, well she died at childbirth,” the nonchalance dripped from his voice as he mentioned them.He was pouring himself a drink again. That was the fourth glass now.Maybe his Werewolf genes went to his alcohol intake? Well what do you know?“My Grandfather had another boy whom he looked after. We weren't related. He was dark skinned, had this… long dreads for hair, very brilliant kid- what's his name again,” he drummed his fingers on his chin where he was seated on his desk.Jamal?“Jamal, I think,” he confirmed her thoughts. “I wonder if he's dead now.”She glanced at him before she threw her face away. It wasn't her place to tell him anything. But… “Wer
Anna was still in shock by the story and his blood oozed strongly in her nose, a constant reminder of his psychotic actions. Anna couldn't even make a distinction between his blood and the one of the guard he had killed. She stared at the man walking in front of her. He was humming as he climbed the stairs like he didn't just kill one of his men and fabricate a story on the spot blaming someone else.His attitude was so similar to Leroy that for a moment she wondered if she had put herself in another set of trouble. Meeting two psychopaths in the space of one month wasn't a good sign at all.She stared at the floor where his blood left a trail, "Aren't you going to clean that up?" he should've healed by now."Unfortunately, I can't," he chuckled. "It's complicated."She would very much like to hear about it but she would rather be with Leroy. Turned out the devil she tried to run away from was better than this.. Angel.Was there ever a thing like comparing psychopaths?"Where are we g
She squeezed her eyes shut waiting for her body to slam against the hard floor but she fell into something warm and furry that held her tight instead.Her heart was beating too fast and loud. She could hear the pumping of his own blood. The heavy and fast thud of it made her heart race. She knew what had caught her but Anna refused to look at it.She was terrified.If it wanted to kill her, it could as well do it now.'Who was that boy, mate?' Leikan glared but her eyes were closed. When he growled deep in his throat, he saw her tremble. She was a trembling mess. She had her hands pressed against her chest like he was fire to the touch.'You smell of a very familiar scent,' he thought to himself. He knew she could hear him but it didn't hurt to try.He noticed how small she was compared to his larger frame.'Release your beast,' he pushed his head closer to her. Her short gasp of fear made his face wrinkle in disgust. He was smitten by her human form but he was more interested in her
"Hang on tight," Leroy announced and she automatically squeezed the seat belt that was across her body with a frozen look on her face.His words from earlier replayed in her head in a loud and bold voice. 'Locked up.' this child would… lock her up? She gulped and turned to look at him. His hands gripped the steering as he stepped on the gear to increase the speed. The frown on his brows wasn't going to smoothen any time soon. He looked serious."What?" her anger doubled just seeing him. "What makes you think you can make decisions in my life?""Not now, Anna. We're already facing the consequences of your actions-""I didn't ask you to be a part of it!" she grunted. "Pull over!"He glanced at her, an doubtful look on his face, "What-""Fucking pull over and let me get off, you bastard!""Are you nuts?" he screamed. "Do you suddenly want to go to jail? They'll lock you up and there's nothing anyone can do about it!""It's better than having you whine like a little bitch! At least jail is
Her eyes slowly opened. She was breathing slowly and calmly as she turned her head side by side, looking at the empty room. The tears rolled down her face as the memories slowly came to her.She helped herself up, leaning against the headboard as she cried, her heart bruised beyond anything she had ever known. She couldn't stop the tears from coming as she wrapped her arms around her stomach, weeping from the depths of her heart.The only thing she had looked forward to had been snatched from her!Even after all his threats and hatred for her child, she foolishly trusted him, wishing he would be different.How could he have been so heartless!His words continued to play in her head."Remove it!" He had sounded so heartless and so certain. He ignored her cries and all her words of earlier. He did only what he wanted, what was best for him.How could she have thought that he was okay with it just because he didn't kick her out?The door opened and Anna lifted her gaze to the man in a whi
Leah paced the floor with an anxious knot in her stomach and her nails softly between her teeth, biting them as she glanced at the phone on her bed every now and then.He said he would call her today. It wasn't the end of the day... yet. She was anxious anyways. She couldn't stop the feeling, it was like a field of butterflies fluttering in her stomach all at once. She could just burst from the emotion."Hmm," she squeezed her eyes shut, turning her back to it as she stopped pacing. She was getting anxious for nothing. Why did she have to wait for his call anyways? She was acting like she had a crush when in fact, she didn't.She decided to pay attention to other things, like the warm cup of milk sitting on her nightstand. She could use the rest-The phone rang, tearing into her thoughts.Leah was grabbing it in an instant. She plopped down on her bed to sit as she puffed out air from her mouth before she swiped the green icon.She placed the phone on her ear and was greeted by his cal
*WARNING: THIS CHAPTER MAY BE DISTURBING FOR SOME READERS. READERS DISCRETION IS ADVISED.The elevator dinged at the top floor and the doors opened. Anna stepped into the thick darkness and her eyes adjusted to it. She could almost feel the darkness clawing at her skin but she pushed through, heading towards the only door at the extreme. The door was open and the darkness didn't seem to end.She got into the office and the air there was different. It was thicker and this time, the darkness had eyes. She could feel a presence- a very dark and familiar presence. If he was trying to intimidate her, she hated to admit that it was already working."What are you doing here?" The deep voice cracked into the room with a sudden boom that was calm and gentle too. She didn't know where he was. It was as if his eyes were everywhere.She snickered at the goosebumps that rushed to her skin and Sai snarled, if she got her hands on him, she just might snap him in half.Her reply came in action. Anna
