Anna's POVThis must be a dream, in fact, it was a very bad dream which I was desperate to wake up from. My almost perfect day was now ruined and there was absolutely no remedy for it. Taking in a deep breath, I tried to steady my breathing but couldn't. My heart kept ramming against my chest as I stared at my step father and mother standing right in front of me. What in heaven's name are they doing here? How did they find out I was in the Crestwolf pack and overall, how were they able to locate Maya's home? Scared that they had come to take me away, I began to tremble like a leaf under the wind. It got to a point that I couldn't stand upright again and I doubled over. Biting my bottom lips, I began to take some steps backwards but Maya held my hand, stopping me midway. “It's time to settle this once and for all.” She whispered and I in turn gulped, not knowing what to say to her. Rubbing my nape, I nodded slowly, trying to gather my thoughts but it was difficult. “What are you

Chapter 23Anna's POVAfter what seemed like forever, the knocking ceased but neither Maya or I left our positions. We just stood there staring at each other. Half an hour later, Maya pulled herself up and then went straight for the door. Crouching to the level of the keyhole, she peeped outside. After several minutes of squinting and tossing around, probably to get a better view, she straightened up. “Are they still there?” I asked, staring at her with an inquisitive look. “I need to confirm.” She replied and then yanked the door open. She poked her head outside as a stream of light rushed into the room. “They are gone.” She announced and I sighed in relief. She was about to slam the door shut but stopped midway and I wondered why. Thinking it was my parents on the other end, I groped my way towards the door and then leaned over her but to my surprise, it turned out to be one of the neighbors, a redhead busty woman I had always tried to avoid. Raising my brow, I wanted to ask

Anna's POVPresently, I didn't know what to make out of Alpha Noah's decision. Honestly, it sounded stupid and rash. If only he knew who he wanted to deal with, he wouldn't have said what he just said. Rolling my eyes to the back of my head, I straightened up, my gaze still fixed on him. On the other hand, he was staring at me with pleading eyes and it made me livid. “Are you even thinking?” I finally asked, not taking my eyes off him even for a moment. “What are you talking about?” He asked with a raised brow. I didn't give a response to his question, instead, I just heaved and then threw my head backwards. Alpha Jasper was ruthless and evil, if there was another name that was more stronger than those two, I would have awarded them to him.Not only that, he was bigger and stronger and in terms of warfare, I haven't seen his match since birth. If Alpha Jasper gets to hear Alpha Noah speak, I bet it would result in a war which Alpha Noah would lose to. Alpha Jasper was going to wip

Anna's POVAfter my declaration, the expression on everyone's face changed. One after the other, I took in everything until I was done. Out of everyone, it was only Alpha Noah that wore a disappointed look. My mother looked happy, step father was relieved and Maya wore a neutral expression. Shifting my weight from one foot to the other, I awaited who was going to break the silence which was becoming uncomfortable. “Are you sure of what you are saying?” Mother asked and I nodded. “Yes, I will return with you.” I affirmed, nodding my head to show I was being sincere with my words. “Thank you Anna, thank you so much. You really don't have any idea what you have done to me right now.” Mom cried, falling on her knees as she grabbed my hand. Not pleased with the drama she was acting, I tried to pull away but she held on, causing me to sigh. “Anna, I know you were going to make the right decision. I'm so proud of you right now.” Step father said, grinning from side to side. Instead of

Alpha Jasper's POVSince the day began, I have been in my study room, trying to gather my thoughts and at the same time struggling to maneuver my way around some issues on ground. One of the most disturbing issues was that of the rogues who had been attacking the neighboring packs. It had been very disturbing news and the subjects were already panicking. It wasn't as if I cared about what the pack members thought about me but I felt I was incompetent. Well, I believe they won't get into my pack for whatever reason. “They won't even dare come close to my pack. They will keep lurking around…” I was still speaking to myself when someone knocked on the door. “Come in.” I said offhandedly as I reached out for the bottle of ink lying by my side. “Your highness.” Beta Jacob said with a curt bow. “The council meeting will begin in five minutes.” He announced. “Alright, I will join in.” I replied, waving him off. Once again, he did the curt bow before stepping out of my office and closi
