Lowbred, unwanted, and a servant of the Alpha's Mansion, Anna Kendra just wanted a quiet life with a mate who would accept her for the runt she was. But her life took a U-turn when she discovered the craziest thing. A mate bond, to the one person who wanted nothing to do with a 'prostitute' like her.
View MoreI watched as my twins, Ivan and Evan, squealed with delight, their eyes shining with excitement, as they ran from one colorful stall to the next. The amusement park was alive with the hum of laughter and thrill-seeking screams. Tony, stood beside me, a gentle smile on his face, as we watched the kids have fun. "So you're back with him now huh?" Tony asked quietly next to me. "Is that why you are no longer pack?"I shook my head and turned to him, eyes wide. "No! Tony I swear it's not what you think! I didn't mean to hide the truth from you. I just wanted you to not sabotage the business with Asher. you need to understand this please.""You are like my little sister, Anna." Tony snapped eyes glowing. "How do you think I feel when you suddenly return to the bastard who abandoned you... Is he forcing you to do this?"I opened my mouth to tell a lie But Asher, appeared, his eyes narrowed, and a smirk playing on his lips."Hey, Anna, I see you're having fun," Asher said, his voice laced w
```Some minutes later, as I curled in bed with a book, the door to my room suddenly flung open, and in came running my kids.Laughing at the top of his lungs, Ivan jumped on me. “Momma! Nurse Jane allowed us to play football with the other kids! You never let us play ball!”My heart stopped beating for a moment and with wide eyes, I held Ivan at arm’s length, checking for any signs of a relapse. How could she be so careless? Football was a very vigorous physical activity! How could she let them play such a rough game?Tears of fury stung my eyes and I made to stand from the bed when Evan came closer and placed his small hand on my cheek. “We are okay mum. Please don’t be mad. It was fun and Nurse Jane didn’t let the other kids push us. We even made a friend with our old classmate back at school. We told him we were returning to school soon.”The soft look in his eyes softened the ache in my chest and with a sigh, I relaxed back on the bed. Jane was a certified nurse…she wouldn’t let
Anna’s P.O.VThe sheets were pulled directly under my chin as my eyes traced a very interesting pattern over the ceiling of Asher’s bedroom. This was the first time I’d be seeing it—the times I’d slept in his bed, I had the sheets over my head to hide my abilities from him. Now, it was very clear. There was a very stunning sculpture of a golden crescent moon surrounding by little paws. With a jolt, I realized, it was Asher’s mating mark. It had once adorned my neck for a very brief three hours before he…rejected me. How conceited and into himself can a person be to have his own mark above his head anytime he sleeps?“I can hear you think, Anna Kendra,” Asher said very dryly and I blushed, turning my head over the pillows to look at him. “Anyway, if you must know, I have one like it back home, better sculpted anyway. I don’t know how you live here. They are very cultureless, bland, and clearly untalented.”“If by cultureless, you mean Westside doesn’t believe in your archaic pack desig
Anna’s P.O.VHis words felt like a bucket of cold water over me and I flushed, trying and failing to push away from his arms. “Yeah, I have something I need to tell you myself.”But he was making it hard to concentrate with the way his jeans-covered dick pushed dangerously close to my wet heat.Shamelessly, I ground into the metal zipper of his jeans, gasping as electricity zinged through me. Fuckkkkk. It felt so good.Panting, I blurted. “I want Ivan and Evan to return to their school.”His brows furrowed and he pushed away from me to get his bearings. “Why?” His voice was harsh.I licked my lips, thinking of the story I’d painted. “They don’t have a social life and I just think it’s unfair for them. I’d spoken with the proprietress and she agreed to take them back in. Please, Asher, every child needs friend. They’ll start tomorrow.”I gave him my most pleading look and after a while, he sighed. “Fine.”Then his mouth returned to mine. Asher kissed me, slowly and greedily. His erecti
Anna’s P.O.VIt’d been thirty-six hours, one hundred and twenty minutes, forty seconds since I saw Asher at the hospital. Not that I was keeping track of time. I was just…maybe concerned about his health as Sen had gone to pick him up from the hospital as soon as I’d returned home.He was an Alpha, yes, but it was a gunshot, not a knife wound! He needed to give himself time to recuperate at least.I let out a sigh and turned my attention back to my kids.“Why do we have to go back to school?” Ivan scowled at me. “Dad –”“I am not your dad, Ivan!” I snapped, suddenly exasperated. We had been at this for hours and he refused to understand. Evan just sat in a corner, round glasses framed eyes glued to his tab as his fingers flew over it. I could bet he didn’t hear a word of what his older brother and I were arguing about. He was my little nerdy genius while Ivan was my daredevil.I just wished he would take my words quietly without fighting me back at every turn. I needed them to resume
Asher’s P.O.VAs the door locked behind me, I took in a shuddering breath, and still, the tightness in my chest didn’t ease. Gritting my teeth, I slammed my fist into the wall next to me, causing the needle from the IV to sink in further. White-hot pain streaked behind my lids and I bit back a groan, gasping silently. The pain dug its roots deep into the barely healed bullet wound on my chest and down the entire length of my arm to my fingertips. Fuck. Crimson spilled from the back of my hand and I watched it with increasing rage.What the heck was I doing? I had tried to fight my desire but there was no denying that I felt something for Black Rose. My wolf tingled when she was near. Anna on one hand was the mother of my children and even though it was within my power, I couldn’t separate the boys from her. They loved her so much and her absence would badly impact their lives. Shit would hit the roof if in the future; they discovered that I was the one who stripped her of her maternal
(Anna’s Pov) As I stared at Asher, I grew increasingly nauseated. Why was he so silent? Say something! Anything! Oh Goddess, just freaking---dammit!Like a fish out of water, in a bid to break the tension cranking high in the room, I opened and closed my mouth a couple of times and only a sigh just escaped.Finally, Asher took pity on me and cleared his throat. "I'd been shot yesterday and while it took me down for a couple hours, I didn't lose my brain, Anna Kendra." He stopped looking out the window and suddenly turned those piercing emeralds on me. "It was Black Rose with me yesterday, she and my beta brought me to the hospital. You had gone to a conference with your "boss" whom I'd never met, how and why are you here right now in the same dress she was in yesterday?A lump formed in my throat and I licked my lips over and over again, trying to find my wits that were fried from the burning intensity of his gaze. "Asher..." I trailed and somehow the sick feeling in my stomach twist
Anna’s P.O.V“Rose!” I drew in a large gulp of air as I snapped back to reality. Eyes wide with fear, I glanced down at my body, checking for blood, but not even a single scratch was on my skin. My eyes darted around my surroundings and my breathing slowed as I realized, I was still on the rooftop and the entire accident had been something like a vision. Oh goddess, I almost crumpled on the floor, clenching my fist to hold on tight. I had died in that hallucination. My babies…they would be without a mother. Tears stung my eyes and I let one roll down my cheek. There was no way I would survive something like that. But why did I think about death? Something in me told me there was more to it than meets the eye.There was one thing that happened to me two times in the past. Two different occasions where I’d zoned out of a conversation, gripped in the vision my mind was torturing me with. Only that after the vision, something bad always happens. It might not occur the exact way it did in
Anna's p.o.v"Today's a big deal for us and for everyone who goes out to eat," I started, making sure everyone could hear me. And they did as a soft chuckle rippled through the room. "We're mixing the cool vibe of our bars with the fancy feel of Asher Hotels, and that's going to be something special." A reporter from a famous food magazine asked, "Miss Rose, what's this partnership going to do for what we eat?" I grinned, thinking about our new menu. "Think of it like this: your favorite drinks from the bar, but with your dinner. And not just any drinks, but ones made by the best drink experts around." More questions came, and I answered each one. "What's going to be different now?" someone else asked. "It's going to be awesome," I said. "We're making sure everything – the place, the food, the whole feel – is about making great memories, not just great food." “Perfect. One last thing, Ms. Rose,” A reporter with the logo CCM said and I held my breath. “Yes?” “The highlight in yo
