"Timeless Longing"

Part #12

Anna simply nods because she doesn't think she has enough energy to deal with anything Jackson starts talking Anna take the sign and follow behind with steady steps after sometime they reach a building with a very good infrastructure make it look good with it's hustle and bustle.but Anna prefers the location of his previous house of course without his parents..

Jackson stop walking in front of a room which brought Anna back from his thoughts as she listens to Jackson
"This will be your room and the kitchen will be on the same floor you will be  getting your meal from there"
Then a maid very young like 18 yrs walks towards them
"This is Ashley, you can ask her for anything".
Ashley give a very cheerful smile at Anna  which make Anna wince she know this will gonna be harder with her cheerful demure
Jackson chuckled by looking at Anna's face.Ashley becomes shocked at his alpha behavior he never behaves like that .
Anna becomes more annoyed by his behavior and scoffs at him and enters her room and shuts the door behind as very little energy lets on her.
It is sign for both Ashley and Jackson. She doesn't want to talk to them anymore.

But this type of Anna behavior can be considered disrespectful towards the alpha of the pack but Ashley sees nothing but a subtle smile on Jackson's face as he turns to do his work.

Which makes Ashley realize that she has to respect and care for Anna more as she is much more important than she thinks.
 
After hitting on bed Anna fall asleep without any worries of the world.

Ahh! Now what!! Anna groggily wakes up from the knock on the door

"Miss you have to wake up! Breakfast will be served after 20 min "Ashley speaks after entering her room.

Anna just sighs and walks towards the bathroom as Ashley arranges Anna clothes and room with humming a tone
She gives a big smile as Anna comes back after refreshing which makes Anna wince and take a step back and this makes Ashley smile more " miss! this is your clothes and if you need any help tell me"

Anna nods in acknowledgment and thanks to her which makes Ashley happier and after changing Ashly leads Anna towards the hall where breakfast will be served all the members of the pack have to eat their meal at one place this is the rule that has to be followed by everyone living there.

Many  male and female sitting and eating their food and there is a very cheerful atmosphere with everyone little bickering and laughing with each other
Well, Anna was sure she would not be needed or wanted here but as she wanted to turn by thinking about skipping breakfast which was going to consume her energy more than giving her an elderly voice call her " you had to eat it's not good to skip breakfast and go on an empty stomach! Dear!!"

Anna listens to the soft worry behind the voice and turns around and looks at the elderly woman standing behind the kitchen counter serving food also smiling at her.But her calling stops everyone's action and makes all the attention to her which she doesn't appreciate at all .
But don't have the heart to turn down the good will of someone and move towards the last and distant corner of the dinner table which shows a clear sign that " Don't disturb"

Mrs Crist smiles at her and signals Ashley to give her food which Ashley did with a big smile all the present members know about Anna is not one to mess with their chattering resume and Anna starts eating her food.

While eating Anna senses staring of someone and looks towards the direction of a boy staring at her with big green  orbs and brown hair and looks a little puppy after noticing that Anna caught her staring he moved her eyes downward a blush rose from his neck to his face as he rub his neck feeling nervous.

Anna becomes really amused and chuckled at his behavior but he shrunk himself into the chair more while feeling embarrassed but still stole a few glances at her. He is sitting beside her Anna but at a little distance as Anna had dragged her chair towards the corner earlier Anna pushed her glass of milk which she had got from Ashley towards him.

Oliver becomes stunned at her gesture not predicting her action and smiles towards her .Anna really finds him more like a puppy and naturally  softened towards him.
