Chapter 6
Anastasia
I stared at the phone for a long time even after the call had been disconnected. I could not believe it.
Julou had found me after I managed to successfully hide from him. My eyes widened in shock and the initial surprise soon turned to worry and then fear
not sure how he found me but I knew him very well. He was stubborn and would not take no for an answer.
That is why I had to run away from him all those years ago because he was never going to understand or even let me talk. And I had built a quiet and peaceful life with my little girl in the human world, far away from the werewolves.
“Anastasia, hey, where are you lost?”
Nick’s voice dragged me out of my thoughts. He was waving his hand in front of me and I think I heard him ask more questions of who it was but I was not in a position to answer him, not without disclosing my secrets.
“Nobody. Thank you for bringing us here. Nick but I am afraid it is way past Lea’s bed time. So we have to leave now.” Lea made a face. “But I was just starting to eat my cookies. And your coffee is going cold. Mom.”
I grabbed my purse while trying to reassure Lea. “I will get it packed, sweetheart. You can have them at home.”
Nick got up from his seat and tried to intervene.
*Please Anastasia, if something is bothering you, I request you to tell me. Consider me a friend, if not a colleague.”
I gave him a tight–lipped smile.
“I really have to go home, Nick. Working on that project all day has left me with a bad headache. I will be up and running tomorrow morning.”
He was about to say something but my phone rang again and I nervously looked at the screen. Thankfully, it was not the same number so I could ignore it.
“Come, Lea, let us go home,” I said, lifting her with one arm and walking towards the counter to get the cookies in a parcel. “But Mom, I want to stay with Nick a little more” Lea grumbled but I was too frazzled to pay attention to her demands. Nick blocked my way and added, “I am not sure who it was that has you so worried but if some idiot is bothering you, please tell me. I have some connections who can rough him up and he will leave you alone.”
Nick had an earnest look on his face but curiosity got the bener of me.
“What type of connections?”
He leaned forward to whisper in my car. I know some goons who can make the troublemaker leave you alone.”
I shook my head. That was sweet of him but he had no idea what Julian was or the fact that he would single handedly defeat
Not even ten men would be a match for a werewolf, much less an alpha. And alpha Julian was the biggest and baddest of
them all.
“I will keep that in mind, Nick. Now, I am afraid I have to leave.”NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

See there”
She mumbled and 1 looked at the online shopping website homepage that she showed to me.
“What abour this? You want some toys from here?“
She gave me a hesitant look. “When you and Nick were talking, opened your phone and clicked on a nice dress for you. But then your phone rang and you took it from ine.”
I gave her a puzzled look and checked the app. Indeed, there was an order for a long red dress placed an hour ago. But somehow, I had forgotten to remove the old address from the app because I seldom used it. I did not even wear those types of dresses anymore. And in a very strange twist of fate, Lea had mistakenly ordered something that would be delivered to my old home.
Lea looked at me guiltily as if she realized she had somehow messed up badly.
“Sorry mumma. I only wanted you to wear something nice and go out. You work too much. But I did not order it, trust me. I was only looking at it. You can cancel the order.”
I recalled she had been shouting at him so I got curious about what conversation they had.
“That man who called on my phone…what did he say to you?”
Lea pouted and replied. “I did not even let him speak much because he was calling so late at night. He only took your name and I scolded him”
I suppressed a chuckle.
Lea had scolded the big bad wolf what he wanted.
of the Silvermoon pack. She had given an earful to the alpha who did not rest until he got
She expected me to scold her but her blue little eyes were staring at me with fear. I did not have the heart to shout at her. Not with the fear that Julian would snatch her away from me.
So I just pulled her into a hug and patted her head.
“It is alright, Lea Just wish mummy goodnight and go to sleep.
There was no point in scolding the little girl when it was my mistake to get a new number and update it everywhere but forgetting to delete the app and my old address
I knew Lea was a curious child and she looked around everywhere, I should have been more careful.
“Goodnight mummy,” My little girl wished me and I sat by her bed, caressing her head until she drifted off to dreamland.
I had been running from Julian for five years and only now after a lot of struggle, I had found a stable life for me and my little girl.
I was not in the world of werewolves anymore. His rules and his alpha title were pointless here..
I would get the human police involved if required but I was done running away from him. He and Angelica would have married and had kids of their own by now. I was certain of that
Lea and I were not a part of his life anymore. I would not let him take it all
away from me.
I would fight tooth and nail if required to protect the life I had built for myself and Lea.
With that thought, I calmed my nervous heart, reminding myself that I had faced alphas and brought several of them to their knees to sign tricky treaties and resolve issues.
I would do it again even if this time it was the guy I had loved more than anything else.
Julian had found my number, it was only time he would find out my address and come barging at my door.
The only thing I could do was be prepared to face him. And I would wear that dress just to spite him.
