Elijah's Pov.I pushed open my room's door for the upteenth time this evening, heading straight to each of my brothers rooms to question them about the matter again. As I match worriedIy to their rooms with my heart racing in fear and uncertainty, I can't help but wonder why I am the only one bothered about something so serious even though I am the only injured person in the house! I can't wrap my head around it, it's not like something like this usually happens, so why are they so chill about it? It feels like I am overreacting over a trivial matter when I honestly am not. Since I have known her from when she was a toddler, this is the very first time I witnessed a situation where she is not back home by now. It's almost 8 fucking p.m.! Where the hell is she and why the fuck is she not back yet?.I pushed open Ben's door and got it in, he was playing video games as usual and when he saw me, he flashed me a smile and threw the game pad for me to join in but I instead walked to the soc

Hunter's Pov."My Anna! My Mate..."Seiko purred in my head when he saw her walking down the stairs. He was awestruck and so was I, she looked so ethereal, so beautiful, she was like the light that was slowly coming into my life."Ours," I said inaudibly as she got closer. Seiko was jumping excitedly in my head as our mate drew nearer and I couldn't blame him, I was barely holding myself in check, I wanted to rush to her and pull her into my embrace holding her tightly until the fear in my heart subsided.Watching her walk down shakily was bringing back locked-up memories, bittersweet memories, memories that had tormented me day and night but for her I was willing to go through them again, I had no choice anyway, not when they literally had the same face. I can't stop myself from remembering that night, the night of our mating ceremony, she looked just like this, perfect yet shy and insecure.She was forced to walk on heels that day by her Mom and it had been a funny scene to me when I

Hunter’s Pov.I could feel her uneasiness as we entered the hall, all eyes were on us or should I say on her because damn! She looked breathtaking in her beautiful black dress and I wondered why she couldn’t see how glorious she was. Even when she was in her ruffled uniform, untidy hair, and worn-out school bag, she still looked like a Princess but now she looked just like a Goddess.The clothes she has on just heightens her beauty and bring out the exquisite look she has always had inside her, she doesn’t know how very lucky and on top of the world I feel to have her in my arms. I want to show her off and claim ownership of her in front of everyone present, to bask in their envy and jealous gossip but I know that she is not mine yet, there are a lot of things I want to be certain of before I can be possessive of her the way I want.And we came here just for that but just as I had suspected, there are a lot more playthings in attendance that I have to put in their place and show them

Hunter’s Pov.I could feel her sadness when I called Alpha Tristan’s daughter mate. I could also feel the intense emotion flood her heart and it felt like I was the one physically feeling her pain. It was obvious that she was feeling confused and unwanted and that was why I said and did nothing when she quietly left, I understood that she needed time to herself to vent and calm down. Plus, I couldn’t comfort her nor explain anything to her because of the two people who also needed an explanation as to why I had ghosted them for so long.I was caught in a hard spot, I was basically in between a rock and the deep blue sea…I had no choice as no matter what I did, someone would still get hurt. And as much as it pains me that she had to be the one to take the brunt of my miscalculation, it was all for the better.Alpha Tristan is one ally I need to make my interest in becoming the Werewolf king a reality and so, I cannot afford to piss him off, just yet.I never planned for this night to

Annabel’s Pov. “Take her home, Jeremy!” That was what I heard him say to his friend when I asked for him to be the one to take me home. Surprisingly, every other thing I knew they were talking about was going on inaudibly or telepathically, if at all that’s real but it felt like he purposely said this one out and loudly too so I would hear it and know that he cared nothing about my feelings. The intense fear that had been coursing through me had gone down a little when he stopped hurting Mr. Wesley but I was still scrounging on the ground unwilling to look up to see what was now going on that he had stopped hitting the man, different thoughts filled me like whether Mr.Wesley was still breathing or if he had been beaten to death. I do not know how all his guards and security personnel who were around when he was harassing me had suddenly vanished into thin air, but I am more than certain that he has enough power to bring terror to the Jerk’s doorsteps, and I worry for him because Mr
