ANNAIT HAS BEEN almost a week since I spoke to Mitch about the spreading illness but I haven't heard any word or update concerning it. My mind was restless, I wanted to be doing something other than lie in bed and secretly enjoy Mitch's body warmth every night, and during the day, pick my children after school and play with them while trying to take my new Luna duties seriously.I wanted to do more, but now, there was no information for me to work with. I could not even start any research.Today was a good time as any to go and check out the large private school in the city and maybe register my children for admission there. I wanted them to have a strong normal life away from the pack.I got into my car, which was a brand new Porsche GT5, by the way. A new gift from Mitch. The man was even richer than I knew. I pulled out of the garage slowly and drove out, heading to the large school in the city. After a few minutes of driving, I stopped in front of a large gate with "WESLEY GROUP
MITCH"I EXPECT THAT the senate will call for another meeting soon," Draco said to Mitch, who looked up from his laptop and cocked his head. "The news of the illness will soon spread more.""Yeah, the illness," Mitch said nonchalantly. "As I have told you multiple times, it will not come up North. The cold and altitude will not allow it.""You talk like you are a speaker of the association of the illness," Draco scoffed. "We still need to be prepared.""Aren't we?" Mitch asked, gently closing his laptop. "While the other stupid packs had been investing in lawyers, architects, and engineers, they had not thought for once to sponsor a doctor. That is just plain foolishness.""Werewolves do not normally fall sick," Draco muttered."Yes, but here we are now," Mitch stood up. "Your race is scared of an illness that they don't know anything about. Pathetic!""Aiden and Addison are werewolves too, remember?" Draco asked. "There is a very tiny chance that they can contact the illness, and the
ANNAMY BUM HURT from sitting in the car for a long time. I had an escort from the mountain alps pack, specially assigned to me by Mitch. It was the guard Alphonso. We had grown cordial ever since I left the prison cell all those years ago. He was to be my personal guard and chauffeur.I groaned as I bounced on the seat. "Aren't we there?" I asked."Almost," he replied.We had been driving for close to six hours, stopping once for lunch and then it had been a hectic and rough ride. Finally, after a few minutes, we entered the new territory. "We are here," Alphonso said.I nodded. As a true Luna with Alpha blood running through my veins, I could feel the energy pulsing in a pack when I entered one. It was how alphas knew when there was an intruder in their pack. I knew that the alpha of this pack would feel my presence too. Alphonso slowed the car to a crawl as we approached the residential areas of the pack. He pulled to a stop in front of the packhouse. I stepped out and stretched.
ANNABETA TATE LED me through a winding path to the health infirmary on the other side of the pack grounds. The building looked newly constructed and I could not help but ask, "Is the building new?"Tate smiled sheepishly and said, "Yes, ma'am. When the sickness got too pressing and was a confirmed epidemic, we had to quickly have this built away from the pack to reduce the spread."That was strange for me to hear. Back in our kingdom, we had a very well-equipped hospital even though nobody visited it.He opened a steel door and stood aside to let me through first. "This is the security area, where the safety gears are."I put on the long latex gloves and headwear that were provided and went into the main infirmary. It was a large room of about 80 to 100 beds sectioned off into cubicles with transparent plastic nylons and curtains. I could tell that it was almost half filled. This was worse than I had anticipated. As I walked through the hall and peeked into some of the wards, I knew
MITCHMITCH WAS HAVING a good dream. A dream about sunshine and flowers, until he was rudely shaken in his bed. He grunted drowsily. "DAAADD!!!"Dad?! What?A few years ago, that word would have freaked him out. In all his decades of living in this world, he had made very certain not to pour his seed unprotected into any woman - human or werewolf... or witch. But now..."DAAAADD!!" The shrill voice rang out again, cutting into his subconscious and rousing him from his sleep. He opened his eyes and saw himself staring deep into the bright, hazel eyes of Addison. Her face was a few inches away from his as she knelt on his chest.She tracked his movement as he sat up and rubbed his eyes. "Addison," he grunted, lifting her like she weighed nothing and dropping her on the floor. Although he enjoyed the children's company. He preferred his mornings alone. Not even with any of his lovers. They were always sent away before dawn.She scrambled back up to the bed and leaned against his bulky ma
ANNAI WOKE UP with a throbbing headache. I just wanted to relax in bed. But I had a job to do, so I swung my leg out of bed and went up to wash up. While I was dressing up, I heard a small knock on the front door and listened as Alphonso went to answer it. I could not hear above a murmur, but a few seconds later, the door was closed and Alphonso approached the room.He knocked on my door."Come in," I called while styling my hair in the mirror. He pushed the door open and bowed."Good morning, Luna," he greeted. "The alpha of this pack has invited you to join him for breakfast."My brows furrowed. So Tate got his way with the mull-headed alpha. I looked at Alphonso's reflection and nodded. "I will be there in a few minutes.""His omega is waiting on the front porch," He said before walking away.I finished up and went out to the living room. Alphonso was lounging on a couch. I looked at him, "You are coming with me." I said. He cocked his head. "The invitation didn't include me, ma'
MITCH "WHERE ARE YOU taking us, Dad?" Aiden's calm voice asked as Mitch led them to the garage. Mitch often wondered how these two managed to be twins. Aiden did not match Addison's energy at all. He was like an old man trapped in a child's body.Addison skipped ahead and tried to pull Mitch to hasten up. Even though she did not know where they were headed. He entered the garage and headed to one of the cars in the arrays of expensive automobiles that filled the hall. He opened the back door of a black SUV and shoved Addison inside. "Since mom's not here," Addison said as Mitch leaned over to buckle her seat belt. "Maybe I could ride up front with you.""There's no way in -" He clamped his mouth shut.Addison giggled. "You were about to say a bad word," Aiden muttered, climbing into the car and strapping himself in. Mitch snorted and closed the door before entering the driver's seat and pulling out of the garage. As he drove out, he saw Draco standing at the front doors of the pa
RICK FORSON"YEAH. GIVE It to me, Alpha. Harder!" the lady arched her back expertly as Rick slammed into her. Her moans filled the room as he increased tempo and intensity. He jackhammered into her for some more seconds, groaning with the effort and shuddering as the force of his orgasm shook him as he poured his seed into her.The lady stood up and locked her lips, smiling seductively. "How was it?" She asked.His breath was labored as he said, "Take the money in the drawer cabinet and get out.""I just needed the review in case of next time...""Get. Out." Rick snarled.The lady scoffed and snatched the and of cash from the drawer and stormed out of the room, brushing past Jones who was about to come in."What was that all about?" Jones asked.Rick grunted and went to the bathroom to wash himself up. He was feeling disgusted with himself. He always felt disgusted with himself especially after any one of his encounters with one of the countless whores that roamed the city. Sex with B
ANNA KYLIN CHESTERHOLDING ON TO Vorenus softly as he led me out, We walked up a flight of stairs and down a hallway till we stopped in front of a thick, mahogany wood. I took a deep breath as Vorenus pushed the door open and stood aside to let me through. Taking careful steps, I walked into the room. It was like a large hall, lit up beautifully with gold chandeliers. There was a small round table in the middle of the room, and Vorenus was seated at the head of the table.He looked at me as I walked in; his eyes widened slightly, but that was the only reaction he gave. His human mistress sat beside me; the look she gave was a nasty, dirty stare, but she kept her mouth shut. Vladimir's eyes followed me all the way to the table. I nodded at him curtly and took a seat. The table was filled with many delicacies, and even a full roast pig sat in the center.“Thank you for coming,“ Vladimir said.It was not like I had any option; I scoffed under my breath. I turned and looked behind me, exp
ANNA KYLIN CHESTERI DO NOT know how long I remained in the cage — listening to the dripping of water in the far dark distance. But I knew when the sun went down, because the mansion became more active, and the sound of night bugs joined in the sound of water droplets.I felt like I was going to run mad, but the door opened and the butler came in. He was human, I was sure of it, but still, there was something off about him. But I could not place my hand on it. He stood a few feet away from my cell and looked at me in a spiteful manner. “My name is Bartholomew the Fourteenth,“ he said.The fourteenth? I asked myself. Does that mean that fourteen generations of this man's family had lived with and worked for Vladimir?“What you are thinking is exactly correct,“ the butler said. “And no, I cannot read minds, but I could clearly see the confusion written on your face.”“What do you want?“ I asked. If he was going to be anything like the other human in the mansion - Janet, I wanted to prep
320LORNA DID NOT know her next move, or why she washed the mind of this vampire, but she knew she had to do something, and this seemed like the first step.“Rise,“ she commanded.The vampire stood up robotically and looked at her with his soulless eyes.“What are you doing here?“ she asked him.“Keeping watch on the borders of this kingdom,“ he replied.“Why?““I was just following orders,“ he said.“Whose orders?“ Lorna asked, even though she already knew the answer, but she wanted to be sure.“The king,“ the vampire replied.Lorna scoffed under her breath. Vladimir. She turned and looked at the way she had come from, considering her options. Should she take this vampire back to the kingdom where he could be interviewed by Mitch for information, or should she take the more riskier option and tell the vampire to take her to where Anna was being kept prisoner?She looked back and forth a couple of times, then she made her decision. She was not going back to the kingdom. She and they w
LORNA LOOKED OUT the window and watched as Mitch addressed the guest from the Red Moon pack; she saw the way they looked at him with awe and adoration. They were here out of respect for him and love for Anna.She turned away from the window and went to the bed where Aiden was sleeping, brushing her hand across his forehead. He mumbled something inaudible and shuffled slightly, but he did not wake up. She sighed sadly, wondering what the medical personnel were going to make of this. Aiden was not entirely in a coma. He responded to touch, and she had seen his flicker in his eyelids when Mitch had whispered something in his ear a few hours ago. It was just like he was in a deep slumber without being able to wake up. She imagined it to be like he was trapped in his own body.“If only your mother were here,“ she muttered in a small voice. “She would know what to do to bring you back.“ Lorna spoke gently to herself. She sighed and leaned in to kiss Aiden's forehead. She felt very connected
MITCH CHESTERMITCH COULD FEEL the animosity in the tense air as soon as they walked in. Draco was behind him, and Delta Adam walked beside him as they walked to the front of the hall. All heads followed their movement. Mitch stopped and overlooked the senate; he cleared his throat to stop all side talks and make sure all the attention was on him before he said, “We have some guests in our midst,“ he said in a strong voice. “And I expect us to be hospitable and treat them well.““They are from the inland pack,“ a small, stubby man muttered.“From the lunas former pack,“ Mitch nodded. “And they are here to help us in rescuing her. I hope we will be able to put aside your differences and work together.“The hall was silent for the next few seconds, so Mitch continued, “And they brought some weapons to give us an added advantage,“ he said.“We will be fighting with weapons now?“ Sil asked, astonished, “Like the humans?“Mitch cocked his head and nodded. “I'm afraid so,“ he said. “We need
MITCH CHESTERMITCH SAT DOWN heavily and examined the faces of the members of the Senate before him. They knew something was off in the balance of the kingdom. He cleared his throat and said, “What called for this meeting?““I think the meeting is long over due, Your Highness,“ Lane said in a small voice. Mitch looked around at the nods of agreement around the table.Mitch snorted.“We got the news that we had guests.“ a fat man muttered. “Guest. Warriors from another pack. As if the military in this kingdom is not enough.““So it means there is a heavy war coming,“ Sil said. She paused and continued, “A war that would mean we are accepting help from other inland packs.“A ripple of murmuring went round the pack again.“It is not just any inland pack,“ Mitch said. “They are from the red moon pack. Luna Anna's former pack.““Talking of Luna Anna,“ Sil cut in. “Where is she?“Mitch sighed. Truly, there are so many things that they need to address. Where would he even start? He asked him
MITCH CHESTERMITCH HAD BEEN waiting for the past 20 hours. All the pent up and nervous energy was making him agitated. He hated waiting, but that was what he had been forced to do for the past 20 hours. When he could not take it anymore, he went upstairs to Aiden's room, Lorna was still there. But up in Aiden's room was another waiting session as they waited for him to wake up.Lorna sat up when Mitch walked in. He looked around and noted that Elijah and Oliver were absent. “What of the boys?“ he asked.“They left an hour ago," she replied. “They had to eat and wash up, but I think they will be back here anytime soon.“Mitch nodded and sat down heavily with a sigh. He rubbed his eyes with the heel of his palms.“How did the meeting go?“ Lorna asked after a few seconds of silence.“As fine as it can get,“ he said.“You and Enrique did not clash heads?“ she asked. Everyone knew about the both of them.He shrugged, “We did. But we came to an agreement.“She smiled softly. “That is good
315ANNA KYLIN CHESTERI HAD NO idea how long I had been locked in the cell when the door opened. I sat up expecting it to be Vorenus; instead, it was the skinny, sick looking mistress of Vladimir. Her name was Janet or something like that.She stalked to the front of my cell and pouted at me. “So you are a woman… and pretty too.“ If that was meant to be a compliment, it did not sound so, as it was laced with venom.Gathering some energy, I stood up. I was taller than her and was pleased when she tilted her head to look up at me. She took an involuntary step backward. I smirked at her.“You are never going to take Vladimir from me,“ she blurted.“What?“ I gagged. Who was this dumb lady? “If you are thinking I am here of my own free will to snatch your undead boyfriend, you have the brain of a 15 year old high schooler.“She placed her hand on her hip and frowned. “And what? You have the brain of a mature woman…“ She frowned and leaned closer to me. “Wait a minute, don't I know you?”I
MITCH PACED OUT of the mountain with Draco and Alphonso closely behind him. He paused outside the mountain. Darco came to stand beside him. He could feel his beta brewing with questions, but he ignored it.“That is a high profile prisoner,“ Mitch said to the guards outside. They all nodded with slight frowns on their faces. They could already sense that something was wrong.“Good,“ Mitch muttered and went to a buggy parked by the side.Draco gestured with his head to Alphonso, who immediately jumped into the driver's seat and started the car.“Take us to the palace,“ Mitch said.Alphonso pursed his lips and eased the car out of the snow. Mitch could feel Draco throw him some subtle glances as they made their way to the palace, but he chose not to say anything as he prepared his mind on how he was going to tell them everything.Half an hour later, they pulled into the front gates, and Mitch got out. Draco followed and Alphonso started to drive away but Mitch said, “Come with us, Alphon
