Anna's POVEven though I had chased Alpha Jasper from Maya's room, I was expecting to come around very soon to make things easier for me but to my disappointment, the whole day, he didn't return to her chambers. Enraged, I began to pace around the room. I had long given up crying since my tears weren't going to solve anything. Even without being told, I knew that Selena was somewhere celebrating her win while I was here, bemoaning my fate. It was a hard pill for me to swallow but since my hands were tied I had no choice but to stay back. Moreover, Alpha Jasper caused this. If I had to blame someone even, he should be the one and not Selena. She was merely fulfilling his wishes by pleasuring him and then both of them will make fun of me. Pursing my lips, I dug my hands into my hair and then turned towards Maya's direction. She was still staring at me, just like she had been doing since I started pacing about. From the look on her face I knew she was tired and frustration had begun

Anna's POVFighting against the force that was trying to take me back to Alpha Jasper took all that I had in me but I wasn't going to give in.It was better I left rather that staying in a place where I wasn't needed, where I wasn't loved and where I was used as an object of ridicule. Immediately I stepped out of the pack house, I took one last look at the magnificent building I had been confined in for several months and then let out a low sigh. Turning towards Maya whom had always been by my side, I took her hand into my mine, “You'll be fine.” I said, my lips pressed into a thin line. “Fine? I should be the one saying that you you not the other way around.” She argued. Despite my tired state, the look on her face made me to chuckle a bit. Now holding her shoulders, I pulled her to myself and then hugged her tightly as if it was going to be our last hug. After a few more minutes, I pulled away. “Let's go. We need to get out of the pack before nightfall. I don't want to have my

Alpha Jasper's POVOne month later…Several times I was tempted to go bring Anna but I always held back from doing so. I believed that she was yet to get over what had happened and by the time she had fully recovered from it, she would return to me.Trying not to be too bothered with her absence, I immersed myself into drinking to stupor. Nothing matters to me anymore, not even trying to look presentable. My hair was overgrown and I stinked from not having a bath but they were the least of my worries now. Several times Beta Jacob had tried to pull me out from my shell but he always bore the brunt of my anger. Each time he tried he always got a scar or two but that wasn't enough to push him away. The pack members were murmuring about my inactiveness, the elders were also running my mouths like broken taps, still yet, I was unmoved by it all. Digging my hand into my hair, I tugged on it for a while before taking a swing from the bottle in my hand.Now staring at the wall where Anna'

Anna's POVNow standing in front of the guards who had refused to allow Maya and I to get into our house, I folded my hands across my chest and then let out a deep sigh.They were guards from the Moonlight Pack and their presence here did nothing but to irk me. “What do you want from me? Are you here to embarrass me?” I snapped, my eyes darken as I glared angrily at the guards who had their head bowed to the ground as a form of respect. “Have you all gone mute? I asked a question, why am I not getting a response to it?” I yelled, stamping my feet against the ground as I glared angrily at them. At this point, Maya had to come in. Holding my shoulder she began to mutter words to calm me down but it didn't work. The only thing I could think of was that Alpha Jasper had ordered his guards to come drag me back to the pack so I would be a witness to the mating ceremony between him and Selena. That was the only thing I could think of at this moment and voicing out was the last thing I w

Selena's POVEach day I remembered the reason for my mother's death, my determination to sit on the throne would double.Mother clearly said she doesn't want her death to be in vain and I was going to make sure it wasn't even if it meant going to the extreme, I don't care. The issue I had now was, I had been restricted from going close to the palace. Even my father wasn't even helping matters.Several times, I had pleaded with him to speak with Alpha Jasper on my behalf but before I would even complete my request, he would be gone. I understand the fact that he was still mourning his wife and he was angry with me because she had died for my sake but at the same time I felt he was taking it too personally.He was the same person who always asked me never to relent whenever I set my heart into something but now he was the one who was going back on his words. The more I thought about this, the more angry I became. At this point, I needed someone to speak to but I had no friends to sh
