Kodiak's angry voice resounded in Anna's ears, making her flinch in fear. She could see the hurt and disappointment in his eyes about her keeping such a secret from him but she also didn't know that man was his uncle. She had grown fond of the savage wolf because he had a soft side despite his stern personality. Hunter had also saved her life many times and lent her a listening ear when she needed one. Over the months they had spent together, he had become a good friend to Anna, so she couldn't understand why Kodiak was acting this way. Desperate to explain herself, Anna pleaded with Kodiak, "Please let me explain. I-”But Kodiak chuckled, his voice laced with sarcasm, "What exactly do you want to tell me? It's a bit too late for those stories, don't you think?"“Then why are you here?”Kodiak rose from his seat and went to the window, looking at the view outside as he pulled his thoughts together. He told her. “Hunter has been causing a ruckus throughout the pack lately because he

Kodiak and Anna arrived at the Dark Edge pack in two days where she stayed with Mrs. Hoyles that night. Catherine and Vivian were overjoyed to see her once again so she spent the entire night updating them on her life in the Silver Fur pack.News of her return spread across the pack like wildfire, causing people to check on her under the disguise of a welcome visit. Everyone wanted to see if she was still pregnant or if she had aborted the baby out of resentment and spite. Fortunately, Mrs. Hoyles' stern words helped drive most of them away from her house. However, this news also reached the LeWren family who were looking forward to seeing their daughter married to the pack alpha. Conor had thrown a fit when he heard that his daughter's wedding was on the verge of being called off so he vented his anger on his daughter, Giselle the next day. Giselle was not pleased when she heard her father taunt her for being unable to keep a tight leash on her fiance, making her the joke of the pac

“I want to see Anna.” Kodiak had come to Mrs. Hoyles' house, hoping to see Anna but the old woman suddenly became furious at his request and hit him with her walking cane. Despite the pain, he stubbornly endured her beatings and refused to leave the place until he saw his mate. “How many times have I told you that Anna doesn't want to see you?” The old woman glared at him with anger and resentment. If it was anyone else had been seen treating Kodiak this way, they would have ended up in prison but the old woman had practically looked after him when his father died so she was like his family. “Then where did she go?” Kodiak began to feel worried when he found out that she was not there. He had also visited the tailor shop earlier but Catherine and Vivian told him that she had come to get some fabric. He had roamed throughout the pack, searching for her but she was nowhere to be seen. “How am I supposed to know that?" Mrs. Hoyles snapped. She had been unhappy with him since the day

“What is going on here?!" Giselle stomped her feet angrily on the ground in the empty, quiet storage room in her fiance's room. She flayed her arms in an attempt to throw a fit while screaming, “Why hasn't Kodiak called me yet? He is supposed to be yearning for me now that the spell has been done so why isn't he here yet?”She had been waiting for almost three hours to see the results of her spell but to her utmost disappointment, she had not seen even Kodiak's shadow since she left that fortune teller's shop. She should have known better than to pay that old witch before confirming the spell had worked but she had put her trust in the old woman's reputation instead. She swore to find that witch and make her pay for scamming her like this. While she was seething with unbridled fury in the room, her eyes landed on her male companion who had rolled his eyes at her childish tantrum. She narrowed her eyes in annoyance and asked him, “And what are you doing here, Hunter? I thought we agre

”What?” Anna retreated as she faced Hunter who narrowed at her actions. She had no idea what had gotten into him to think about abducting her but she was in no condition to leave. “I can't leave this place, Hunter. Did you forget what I just told you? I said my pregnancy has a risk of miscarriage!”“Don't worry, I will make sure you don't get into harm's way.” Although the savage wolf had refrained from making any comments about her baby, his thoughts about it were quite dark. “I can't let you stay in this pack anymore, Anna.”Anna's eyes widened seeing him being so resolute about his decision. She couldn't help but think if this was his true nature, something that she had failed to see because she truly thought that she could change him. “I'm not going.” Anna mustered her courage to stand her ground with him but she began to tremble when he released a low dangerous growl. ”I am not joking, Anna.” Hunter's eyes were now stern when he reached for her only for her to evade his touch.
