Part#08

Everyone was taken back by her behavior throughout the conversation, Jackson sat quietly but his gaze remained locked on Anna.

He was indifferent to the arrangement that their parents had concocted, as marriage was of little concern to him but, when he observed his friend Delta Andrew, he noticed an unusual fascination in Andrew's eyes-an intense, curious gaze fixed on Anna. Intrigued, Jackson's attention shifted to the source of his friend's amusement.

But what he saw was women with mesmerizing beauty, before he had a neutral feeling about her, who is human, a mere difference is human child of two beta wolf which he did think is only peculiar thing about her nothing more

but now in front of her standing a unparalleled beauty, with raven hair and a pair of enchanted eyes that hold a tranquil mystery giving him and his wolf a calming feeling.

As his wolf has become extremely irritated and more restless due to the long absence of their mate became much more calm now.

Though, he knows that she was not his mate still he feels an inexplicable connection and possession gotowards her.

As Jackson watched her, he also became struck by her defiant demeanor which has not been expected by her as a human in between all powerful wolves .Her courage is appraised, also understands why Andrew found her so fascinating despite, the grandeur around her, Anna appeared uninterested, almost bored.

The enigma of her presence and behavior only deepened Jackson's intrigue, leaving him to wonder about Andrew's encounter with this intriguing, seemingly indifferent human.

Anna's parents became much more furious at her rambling as her previous behavior is still unforgivable she is still trying to disgrace them in front of everyone.

They feel more disappointed with her but they cannot speak as their elder Alpha is still talking it will be a challenge to his authority they can just grit their teeth and regretting giving birth to a daughter like anna which is just a mere disgrace from the start nothing more still trying to put dust on their face.

Anna can read her parents thoughts only by noticing their facial expression how they are still trying to put all the blame on her even, after forcing her in this marriage scenario and what she can expect from them.

They have been neglecting original owner physically and emotionally does not care about her, they have been tormenting her from the childhood.

"(Hey, shitty system how they know Anna is not a wolf in her childhood) "asked anna

"(Oh!! host after birth each wolf child has a mark like tattoo on their body and Anna don't have one)" system replied delightedly as his host finally giving attention to him

Anna asked as she knows by the memory of the original owner, even though she is a few years old  lived a life of silence and neglect and also starved, because her parents are often absent with the excuse as they have been busy due to their beta duty and cannot be home  large house felt empty and cold, with the echo of her on footstep as company.

Also servants of the also didn't give her any importance whether her parents presence or absence.Meals were sporadic, as her small stomach frequently growled with hunger.

But what she can do as her parents had made it clear to her that their responsibilities kept them away, and that her needs were secondary to their duties.

One day, after a particularly harsh episode of bulling at kindergarten, Anna hoped for comfort from her parents but what she got was harsh scolding instead that "you have brought this upon yourself", her father snapped "you are creating more problems for us and complaining like a spoiled brat".

Then her mother speaks in a frustrated voice like blaming her "if you cannot behave then you are just adding to our burden.

The stink of their words was sharp but as a child anna brain cannot comprehend their bothersome with her, she just think it's her fault as her parents was busy, and she is adding to their burden she has to be a good girl and not created problem to them maybe they will like her so she goes to school hungry every day and also silently tolerate all the bullying.

After few days when she hears the news that she has a new sister give her an unexpected joy, her heart filled with happiness at the thought of having someone to love and share her life with.

For a brief moment, the shadows of having someone to love and share her life with makes her feel happy and also the birth of her sister makes her parents spend much more time at home while taking care of her sister.

She thinks they will notice that she is a good child now

But her parents still continue to ignore her existence and also not let her near her sister rose

As they think of her human status a source of shame and disgrace their reputation and wished that she could vanish from their life as they have an ideal family with their omega daughter rose whom they have been proud from the start wish that they can only have one daughter

Anna is brought back by the voice which is addressed to her

"What do you have to say?" speak the elder alpha after listening to her

Anna smiled and said "what is in for me to get married to your so-called Alpha or your pack's wellness as I merely considered a human or what you were saying an outcast" giving a clear meaning that it does not concern her.
