Anny was fidgeting and playing with her fingers because she was nervous.
“Hmm I love you so much Anny and I want you to know I do. It just happened Anny and believe me I tried all I could but I couldn’t stop it and trust me it’s was never my intention to hurt you. I tried my best and I am so sorry because I know this would surely break your heart”.
He didn’t have the courage to break the news to her.
“Wait Mackie, did you get someone pregnant? She asked. She had seen it happen before in movies where men would break such news to their partners in this exact manner.
” Of course not”. He nodded in disapproval.
” Phew! Now that was a relief.
Now promise me Anny that you won’t cry, you know I don’t like it when you cry please promise me.
” Tell me Mackie, I promise I won’t cry”. She wanted to know what was going on in his head, so badly.
” I am getting married to someone else Anny, a princess of another kingdom”.
He watched as Anny froze in shock and let out a laugh.
” You are joking right “. She said. He looked in her eyes for sometime and wished he could tell her he was.
” I’m not Anny, uncle has arranged my marriage already. I am so sorry Anny but this is goodbye.” He said and removed his hand from her grip . It was better not to let her get attached before he left.
She couldn’t believe her ears. What he had said was worse than getting someone pregnant.
Marriage! Someone else!
The words replayed in her head over and over again and tears ran down her cheeks. He didn’t look like he was joking which meant that it was real. The only man she’s ever loved now belongs to someone else.
” And the necklace”. She asked. At least even if she couldn’t be with him, she wanted to have something if his, something to remind her of him, something to remind her of the love they shared.
“I am sorry Anny but it’s better you don’t have it. We can’t hold to a broken rope Anny, we just have to let go. Goodbye Anny”. He said and got up, leaving her right there to wallow in her sorrows.
He really tried to end their relationship on a good note but he had no choice.
She needed time to pull herself together, she hadn’t been herself since they met in their dream and everything which had looked so real in her life became jokes. It had been a week already and all through it, she thought he would show up and call it a prank or laugh at her for playing her for a fool. But it never happened. There she laid still, heartbroken and shattered. No one ever told her that love was supposed to hurt this much, pretty too much for something that makes someone so happy, on top of the world. How could something , so sweet turn sour?
How could something that makes you feel good bring so much pain?
Her Master was still nice to her, do maybe not all luck had run out on her, or at least she had one thing off the list of things that didn’t work for her”.
The house house was unusually silent that morning compared to how it really used to be, it showed that something was clearly going in.
” You better get up, shower and dress shoes all can have breakfast before they show up”.
Master said and walked into the room with a shaving stick in his hand.
Before who shows up? Now that explains the silence.
She was too curious to keep it all to herself, she just had to spill it out and ask.
What harm could it cause, if she could take risks worse than this, then voila;
” Emm Master, can I ask?” . she asked in fear and stretched out her back incase his response would be her getting corrected. He might act like he changed but Anny found that hard to believe.
” Once a pig is always a pig”was always her dad’s saying, one thing she definitely missed about the old man.
“Hmm, hmm, yup”. He replied, seeming less concerned
“Who is coming?” She said and picked her words with care, she didn’t want to upset him
” Mackie’s bride and family, it’s a tradition to spend a couple of weeks around each other to see how well they interact with each other “.
He said, then stared away from the mirror into her face, “anything else?” He asked jokingly.
How soft Aliya had made him become?
Up until a month ago, no pet had the guts to talk to him talk more of asking a question and he certainly didn’t go around smiling at them.
He stared back into the mirror and admired the new man he had become, the one with a clean and smooth face, a smile on his lips and an unending happiness. Maybe she was right about him finding peace.
” No, Master “. Anny replied.
Just when she had wished for it to be a lie, things got more real.
She thought
So basically she had tossed herself down like a bag of lifeless toy figures and made aggressive love with a werewolf, all for what? Love that would soon be replaced.
Her heart was broken beyond being repaired. She doubted I’d she would ever be able to fall in love with someone else or a werewolf.
Don’t get your hopes up Anny, no one said anything about you leaving.
The tiny voice said.
Oh yes! What a perfect timing you have there! Why don’t it go rubbing it all on her face.
She replied it
“Okay, I’m done, get on with it. Master said and gestured her to go have her bath.
In thirty minutes, they were both dressed, her in a clean pet wear and Master in any expensive dark suit, a crisp white shirt and a shiny leather shoes.
Anny had on her a pink dress, v shaped neck and tight waist with a long flay to the toe. Simple, casual but she loved it.
Anny loved bright colors because she loved life and saw things from a positive angle.
” Positively makes positive things happen to you” was her every day guide but she doubted if it would work in this case since the whole wedding was all planned out.
She crawled to the dinning room with her Master and sat in her usual spot, just beneath her Master’s seat . She looked around the room and realized that Mackie was not out yet.
Let’s go on with our meal, Mackie isn’t joining us today, he had to prepare for his first meeting with his bride”.
Masters Malburt said, swallowed a piece of meat loaf and others followed suit, ball enjoying their meal, all except her.
How was she supposed to enjoy anything when the only person who makes her smile was leaving to another town, maybe at the far end of the town.
He is going to make love to her, the same way he did to you and have kids with her, something he could not do with you.
So Anny take a deep breathe and eat, stop starving yourself it changes absolutely nothing. The little voice in her head said.
Anny knew it was not right and gulped down few spoons of food to keep her from collapsing. Well she needs strength big she wants to witness it all.
She told herself.

Couple of cars were parked outside the compound and the doors flung open, revealing it’s passengers. Cars decorated with feathers, confetti’s and some glittering stuffs and some balloons they all screamed royalty. The first two doors opened and five scary looking men on black got down, all had no smile on their faces. Two held the doors open as they opened their umbrellas and placed it above the door of the vehicle in the middle, and a man stepped out. He was screaming royalty, he had on an expensive white suit, it looked like it was shipped from another planet. He also had a badge placed across his shoulders;it had nothing inscribed on it just some little diamonds dancing as they caught the reflection of the sun on them.
He also had a crown, it looked so majestic it was made of yellow gold with diamonds placed around it and the biggest one amongst them was placed in the middle it also had some rubies and it looked so big that I wonder if it wouldn’t be so heavy. On looking downwards she couldn’t help but stare at his shoes because they were something out of this world. The way he smiled and walked screamed power and authority.
Two more scary looking men walked to the other side of the car and did the same, making way for whoever it was that was coming down from the car this time around. A pair of black red bottoms heels was seen as her leg came out first then a leg so smooth like that of a baby’s and long like that of a super model she had on a red A -line gown it that covered her body well from the sun but at the same time was clinging to her curves. Her long black waist length hair was thick and it flowed down her back in rich beach waves and her oval shaped face had high cheek bones, dimples, her pouty red lips had smirk on it, a cute button nose, her fake lashes fluttered in the wind and her brows was so perfect, she was dressed so prettily.
Ever since Anny had been in the house she has never, that was the first time she had seen a female werewolf looked and she looked so breathtaking.
How was she supposed to compete with that?
She asked herself.
She stood absolutely no chance when compared to her, not with beauty, money or status.
There was no way Mackie’s family would choose her, a pet over royalty because with royalty comes authority and power.
He is gone Anny.
He was never yours in the first place and he would never be.
The voice said as the royals walked into the mansion which was as big as a castle.
Master Malburt Mac had his arms stretched out in joy, ready to hug them, he was grinning from ear to ear absolutely in the best mood since she had known him, I guess he was so happy about the arranged marriage. Master Malburt Mac was looking sharp as always but he was looking sharper than before maybe because his suit had more fitting to it. His suit was grey colored and he was putting on a sky blue shirt underneath and a matching vest that went with the suit, silver coloured tie and his shoes was a beautiful black made from alligator leather all in one he was looking good.
They both said their greetings and he stretched forth his hand beckoning his daughter.
She stepped forward and curtsied.
The King her father introduced her and said.
This here is Princess Paya my beautiful daughter.
Malburt Mac also hugged her and showed them in. Their luggages were transferred to the room they would be staying by the maids and guards.
Anny just stayed at the beside her Master and wondered because a rich princess and her father were coming they made the whole household dress up as if there was a party.
Then the little voice in her head told her that she was just been paranoid because of Mackie’s wedding to the princess.
As they all walked in Malburt Mac took them to the drawing room to entertain them with some refreshments which the pets were going to serve.
