All Chapters of Only Time Will Tell: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

ANA’S POV:I looked around the room, expecting accusatory leers but instead, I was met with eyes full of questions and something else…patience? I began to spill the information I had not told anyone, not even Emily when I made my apology to her. Right then, Scarlett whispered in my mind that she was there to lend her strength to me as I trekked this difficult journey before she faded back to the recesses of my mind.

EMILY’S POVWhen I saw the food being brought in, I squealed, “Oh, thank The Goddess!!” drawing out the word Goddess, “I am STARVING! I swear my stomach is touching my backbone,” I finished as I reached for two sandwiches, a bag of hot cheese puffs and a Cream Soda. My brother just looked at me and laughed at my antics as I plopped down, unceremoniously in my chair, taking a huge bite from my turkey and swiss sandwich after squishing some of my cheese puffs between the ciabatta buns.

RYAN’S POVWhen we all dispersed for the night, I watched Emily run down the hall, hand-in-hand with Ana, towards Ana’s room I smiled as my heart exuded love for my sister. It had been ages since I have seen that smile on her face without an attached sadness in her eyes. Maybe this would be good for her, having Ana around.Since we found out that Ana was indeed an orphan, I no longer felt the urgenc

EMILY’S POVMy alarm went off at 4:30 a.m. just like it did every morning. It was time to get up and start the day with the mandatory training. I reached over and gently pushed on Ana’s shoulder, “He sleepyhead, time to rise and shine,” I said cheerfully. Ana rolled over, glared at me and in a not-so-nice fashion flipped me off before telling me I was crazy and to go to hell before rolling back over, pulling the duvet over her head.

CHRIS'S POVI was just pairing up some of the more advanced wolves to spar when I received the mind-link from Ryan. Apparently, Emily was having some sort of meltdown and has basically demanded that we meet her at her office. I wasn’t sure what could have possibly happened this earl

RYAN’S POVIt was 6:45 a.m. and I was on the front porch of the pack house waiting for Chris. I was formulating in my mind how I was going to address this whole situation with Janice. One thing I knew for sure was that Janice was no longer in charge of the sweet, innocent souls that

FREDA’S POVJanice came to the kitchen to tell me that Alpha Ryan has summoned me and wanted to speak with me. She surmised that it was because of all the files that had not been digitalized yet. I had been trying to put the information into the flash drive, but it was an extremely slow process. Not only did I have other house duties to attend to, but I was also Janice’s unofficial assistant to whatever she needed me to take care of, usually something she felt was beneath her to do herself. Couple that with the fact that I did not have access to the flash drive whenever I wanted it, but only when Janice deemed fit t

RYAN’S POVI could not fathom how utterly, and ridiculously incompetent Janice was. First, she ratted herself out about not even considering the implications or consequences if something like loss or theft were to happen to the flash drive which was loaded with hundreds, possibly thousands of children’s private and personal information. I had come to the conclusion that she was a completely brai

RYAN’S POVJanice and I had just finished the tour of the downstairs areas and was about to venture upstairs when she requested to finish the tour at a later time, feigning not feeling well, blaming her age. I knew she was only in her early 50’s, which is relatively young for a werewolf, but I let it slide. I quickly agreed, showing my distaste at her request, thinking to myself how lucky I had just

JANICE’S POVI left Alpha Ryan at the foot of the stairs that lead up to the “living quarters” of the children as well as for Freda’s and my bedrooms. I had requested that the alpha allow me to continue the tour either later today or maybe tomorrow. I used my age as my excuse, telling him I was really feeling it in my bones. I fully expected him to force me to accompany him for the rest of the “tour” of the house. I never dreamed that he would be so cooperative and allow me to beg off. But honestly, with the exception of the “enchanted door” that led to Ana’s old room, there was nothing to see up there but b
