Anna’s heart sank as soon as he said those words and her mind began to whirl as she looked back over her shoulder and glared at him.Damon looked incredibly unbothered as he continued to peel almonds and pop them into his mouth, with his sleeves rolled up and like this was a friendly hangout.“What is that supposed to mean?” She asked him, her voice coming out shaky, a result from the compounded frustration, anger and fear that shot up in her at the mention of her children. What kind of games was Damon Erikson playing this time?It took everything in her to not flinch when he finally looked up at her, gazing through her and shattering the facade of calm she had with his cold, dead eyes.“I already know where all the packs in this city are located, Anna,” he stated without hesitation. “It’s only a small obstacle that prevents me from going into it right now and burning everyone and everything in it to the ground. If I want, I can have it searched soon and the packs will be found and ki

Alpha Drake was nothing short of fuming as he pushed through the guards of Alpha William’s mansion and began to raise his voice angrily.“Where is that Alpha?! Come out, Alpha William!” He snarled. His voice echoed through the foyer and it caused chaos as the former Luna and Ethan came down t he steps, each with varying expressions of dread.“You,” Ethan blinked at the sound of Alpha Drake’s hiss as an accusing finger was pointed right at him. “Where has that brother of yours gone, huh?! Where is he?!”Ethan noticed Lily step in behind her godfather. She looked just as furious, if only that her face was stoic but her eyes blazing. Their eyes met and he looked back to Alpha Drake. He was all but foaming at the mouth at this point.Wow brother, you have done it again, Ethan thought. He had warned William that acting rashly would lead to problems, but did he fucking listen? Ethan had no intention of dealing with this at all.At least his mother was trying to calm things down, smiling ne

The sound of Anna’s whimpering was the only thing that was heard in the large bedroom. Despite the luxurious looking surroundings, nothing appealed to the redhead that moment. All she wanted to do was go back to that point in time when she spoke to William and choose differently. She wished the past two weeks had not happened, and she hadn’t ever come into contact with the Eriksons.Less than thirty minutes ago, she practically bade goodbye to the man she was in love with.There was no going back now. And that hurt the most.As Anna sobbed in the bedroom, the full pain in her chest deepened. Her entire body felt like it was out of strength, and all the energy she could have ever had was sucked out of her.Her life had become a dark, gloomy path she couldn’t find her way out of, no matter what. And she was trapped in this damn building and apartment with the Devil himself, Damon fucking Erikson.The thought made her want to bash her head into the wall and just end it then and there for

Lily wasn’t one to be so impulsive but she also wouldn’t just look a gift horse in the mouth and let it be. No, she was an opportunist, and what she wanted was to be ploughed into by someone. Anyone would do.But Ethan WAS a perfect choice for her to take out her frustrations.Her eyes gleamed and she looked around to make sure no maids nor the former Luna would happen upon them and then promptly lose their shit. Then she walked up to Ethan, placing her hand on his clothed, toned chest and leaning in.“Your brother is a bastard,” she seethed in a low whisper, as she longed to kiss the lips of her fiance’s brother.Ethan could hear the desperation in her voice and he found it amusing. How easily she had managed to lose her will and cunning in the face of pressure. The invitation from her was reckless to say the least.Aware they were alone but not out of danger of being caught, Ethan pressed his lips to her ear and murmured, “Then you suit him quite well, considering you act like a bit

That night, around a couple minutes past 1am, William tossed and turned in his bed. His mind was still stuck on Anna, and his encounter with his mother earlier that evening.Finally he gave up on the prospects of sleep and grunted.“Fuck,” he whispered into the air, staring up at the ceiling, his back pressed against the soft Egyptian cotton sheets.As though it was a sigh, his phone began to vibrate and William reached for it on his bedside table without looking.The lack of a caller ID made his brows furrow; who could it be that was calling him at this time of the night?“Yes?” He answered the call expectantly.“Is this Alpha William?” A strange male voice was in the other end, a mix of British and French accent which made William more alert. Who was this person.“Who’s asking?” He replied with shortly.“This is Victor Erikson,” came next, and hearing that damned last name of a prominent Hunter family made him sit up at last, growling into the receiver.“What the hell do you want?”
