Against All Odds CONFESSION
CARTERAfter searching everywhere for Zaan, I joined the warriors at the gate to keep guard. My mind kept racing, thinking about all the possible places she could have gone to. Finally, I saw her approaching with Walker. I was really upset to see them together at such a time, but I tried to control my emotions. I didn't want everyone around to know what was going on, so I pretended to smile. However, I kept wondering; What was happening with Zaan? Why would she go out with someone who just came into the pack?The moment she arrived at the gate, she wanted to go in without sparing me a glance. However, I held her hand and said, "I need to talk to you, Zaan."As I propelled her forward, she pulled her hand away from my grip and asked, "What is it, Carter? Say whatever you want to say.""Please, come on. I need to speak to you in a private place," I whispered.She nodded.I saw her turn and nod to Walker before walking away with me. I felt even angrier. Walker had only arrived yesterda

ZAANAs I walked away from Carter, he called my name, but I ignored him. I left him and began making my way to my parent's house.I thought about the things he had just said to me. They were just too much for me to forget. After he rejected me, I had wondered what was wrong with me. I mean, all these years we had been together, why didn't he fall for me?But now I realized that he was the one with a problem, not me. I quickly shook thoughts of him out of my mind. I had better things to think about.I arrived at my parent's house, and right before I made my way in, my mom came out. She must have sensed me approaching.She came out and said, "You're welcome back, my child. What did you find out?"I said, "Well, there is no West Wing Pack. Not in the West and possibly not anywhere else because no one seems to have heard about it."My mom smiled. "Interesting," she said."So this girl Rey, who lied about this West Wing Pack, how did you find her suspicious from the beginning?" I asked my

ZANDERI woke up in the morning, and the first thought that came to my mind was to see Rey. But I knew I couldn't live like this. I had duties to attend to, so instead, I got up and began moving around the pack, trying to ensure that everything was in order.I met with the warriors, listened to some of their complaints, and asked some questions. After realizing that everything was in the right place, I didn't want to spend another minute with them. I wasn't interested in whatever was going on. I was more focused on seeing Rey.After leaving the warriors, however, I went to the cliff to train. I wanted to go up and down the cliff, which was something I did every morning to keep fit. But when I arrived, I saw Zaan. She was already there training as well; my impressive little sister.She didn't say much other than "Good morning" to me, and I knew that something bothered her. I didn't want to pry. She was a private person. I also joined her, but I trained on my own and we kept going up an

ZANDERI saw the excitement in Rey's eyes the moment I told her that she takes my breath away. She circled her arms around my neck, looking into my eyes, and that did it. I couldn't hold back anymore, so I confessed, "I love you too, Rey.When you told me last night about your feelings, I wanted to say the same, but for some reason, I held back. It seemed too sudden, but the reality is that I have never felt this way about anyone before."After speaking, I crashed my lips against hers as the desires I had tried to inhibit surged. I moved down, planting kisses all over her neck.She moaned, holding on to me as my lips made their way to her clavicle and my fangs slowly revealed themselves. As though she sensed what was about to happen, she pulled away, letting go of me, instantly. I stared at her in surprise as I tried to rein in my desires. "You don't want me to mark you?" I asked her.She hesitated, "Well, I subscribe to marking only after marriage. It was the same way my parents di

ZAANI looked up at Walker and stared at his face. There was something about him that made it difficult for me to look away. As I peered into his soulful eyes and began to wonder what deep emotions lay there. He smelled like pine, and I found the scent very alluring.I kept staring at him, but suddenly I came back to my senses, so I moved back."Zaan," he began..."What are you doing?" I asked him as I realized that I had openly been in an intimate position with him, something which I usually never did."I was just..." he tried to explain."Why did you pull me back?" I asked again.He struggled to explain as he began to stutter, but then I chose to let the matter go and said, "Come on, I will introduce you to the warriors." I led him to where the other warriors were, and introduced him, telling everyone his name was Walker and he was going to be one of the warriors in the pack.Carter, who was standing beside us at this point, said, "Come, Walker, I will train you.""There's no need f
Last Updated : 2023-06-20Against All Odds I LOVE YOU
WALKERI saw Carter take Zaan away, saying he wanted to speak to her in private. I followed them, wanting to know what their relationship really was. I hid to ensure that Zaan did not see me. Then I saw Carter kiss her, and it broke my heart. It meant that there was something between them. This was not fair to me. It was the first time I had felt this way about anyone, the first time I had fallen for a girl. Now, I'd come to understand how painful, rejection could be.After she turned around and walked away, Carter saw me. He had a haughty expression on his face as he smiled at me. He knew I liked Zaan, and that was why he kissed her. This was to show me that there was no place for me in their relationship.At this point, I had no desire to do anything. I wanted to be alone, so I went to a quiet spot. It was one of the rivers Zaan had earlier told me about. Others in the pack barely came there because the water wasn't very clean. I sat beside the river, thinking about what I was goin

ZANDERI held Rey in my arms for what seemed to be an eternity as my breathing became rapid. I could hear her quick heartbeats and knew she wanted me just as much as I wanted her.I laid her back on the bed and gently pulled down her clothes, taking mine off as well. I got on the bed and devoured her lips which parted in invitation.I reached out my hand and fondled her breasts before reaching for the folds between her legs, rubbing it gently while she panted as our breaths mingled.I entered her slowly when I realized it was her first time just as it was mine and our bodies became one as we made love to our hearts' content.Just as Rey had earlier said, I couldn't bring myself to sleep after the passion was spent. I lay on the bed and kept staring at her. She, too, was staring at me. We looked at each other for a very long time in silence before she finally fell asleep.I was able to sleep eventually but only for a few hours. When I opened my eyes in the morning, I saw that she was s

REYWhen I woke up this morning, I felt like I had been born anew. I saw Zander in a different light—how could such a perfect man exist? If I were to spend the rest of my life with him, how amazing would that be? He was strong, yet he was soft, caring, thoughtful, and romantic too. He was just so perfect.I sat up, shaking my head as I realized it was wrong to entertain such thoughts. "No... no, you cannot get swayed, Rey," I said to myself. "Do not forget why you are here." While I was reminding myself of this, he came in. He had gone out to get food for me, yet he came back without it. I didn't want to ask him because I could see how sad he looked. The initial joy and excitement I had seen on his face had disappeared He sat beside me on the bed but I also felt sad. The thought that I was going to kill someone so perfect, made me feel very sad, and I couldn't deny that after what happened between us last night, I had truly developed a very soft spot for Zander."Are you okay?"

Against All Odds ONE MONTH LATER
ZAANWe stood—all four of us—at the edge of the cliff; Me, Walker, Zander, and Rey. The past month had been rough initially, but it turned out to be eventful. At first, breathing the same air as Rey seemed impossible, given her ill intentions toward us from the start. However, witnessing her genuine efforts to please everyone and seeing the happiness she brought to my brother, I decided to let go of my resentment and be free.However, that did not mean I would turn my back on her. I remained wary, just as I would be with any untrustworthy person. My mom had also become more accommodating. She occasionally smiled at Rey and engaged in conversations, but I knew her watchful eyes never left her. Rey was aware of it too. The pack had come to accept that she was likely to be the next Luna. She was my brother's love, and thanks to her, he had become more lively, socializing more and spending less time sleeping.Carter had also changed since his fight with Walker. Realizing he was no matc
Against All Odds REUNITED
ZANDERSeeing Rey so injured and bleeding, broke my heart completely. I didn't know who was attacking us or why, but something occurred to me. Perhaps these were enemies who had been lying in wait for me.Over the years, a few had actually attempted to come against us, but they always waited along the roads. So either these were sent by someone who knew that I was leaving, or they had been keeping watch over us.It was an attack, and the fact that they were using arrows meant they were werewolves. As I stared at Rey, I was upset that they did not mind that she was one of their own. Perhaps they saw her as a worthy sacrifice for a great cause, but I wasn't one to let go so easily.I came out of hiding as more arrows were shot at me. I jumped, and all the arrows passed below me. Afterward, I began to crawl on the ground.Seeing I had gotten close, the men who were earlier shooting; who were now close to me but could not see me because I was concealed by the bushes, turned around and wan
Against All Odds I AM SPECIAL
WALKERI knew that Carter was going to confront Zaan, and I wasn't wrong. It was better he found out the truth. That way, he would back off and know his place.It was funny hearing him talk about how Zaan was his mate when I had just marked her the night before.If not for the promise I made to Zaan, I would have shown off in front of him. He stomped away angrily, and I walked after him. But I kept a little distance between us. I stood somewhere, watching as he confronted Zaan, and I heard the words he said to her. I shook my head, knowing that his words were the rambling of a man who was angry because he had lost. It wasn't my fault. I was just fortunate that he was too stupid to let go of something as precious as Zaan.After he left, I came out of hiding and walked up to Zaan, but I saw that she was unhappy."What is the problem?" I asked.She ignored me and turned to walk away, but I held her hand and pulled her back."Are you upset with me, Zaan?""Why wouldn't I be? I clearly to
Against All Odds DO YOU TRUST ME?
CARTEREver since that night, I threatened Walker, I noticed that Zaan had been avoiding me. The following morning, I walked toward the cliff hoping to talk to her, but then I saw Walker. His eyes were gleaming, and his face held so much joy. I felt sick to my stomach. What was he doing here?If anyone was allowed to be there, it was me because I had been in this pack for years. The fact that he kept lingering around Zaan made me so upset. I knew what he wanted, but I was convinced that Zaan would never give him the time of day, not when she had such strong feelings for me. So, I wanted to ignore him. However, something surprised me. Zaan's scent was all over his body. It was so strong, as though she was the one standing in front of me.This could only mean one thing. As I realized what had happened, I rushed toward him, grabbed him by his collar, and pushed him to the ground."Hey, what do you think you're doing?" he asked, getting up. "You know you're lucky fights are not allowed h
Against All Odds I WILL FACE THE WORLD BY YOUR SIDE
ZANDERAfter my mom left, I kept hiding but continued staring at Rey as she conversed with the man whom I believed was her father. The way he treated her, though, and the fact that she did not react to his actions, showed she had a lot of respect for him. I kept clenching my fists in anger.When he finally turned and walked through the gates of the pack, I realized Rey was crying. I came out of hiding and walked toward her, and right at that moment, she turned. When she saw me, I could see the surprise and fear in her eyes. She stood for a while, staring at me in shock.I thought about what my mom had said. The best punishment at this point was to take her life. That was what she deserved, and that was what was expected of me.She remained rooted where she stood and couldn't take another step while tears kept falling from her eyes. But I walked toward her slowly until I was standing a few inches away from her. I stared at her for a while before grabbing her neck with my hand as though
Against All Odds NOTHING BUT A DISGRACE
REINAEver since that first night, I spent in Zander's room, something in me changed. I became a different person. Not that I had become a saint overnight, but I had become someone who genuinely loved Zander. Each moment I stared at him, I convinced myself that I would not be able to part from him, much less be the cause of his demise. He was patient, kind, loving, and everything wonderful I never thought I would find in a man. What were the chances that if I successfully destroyed this pack, I would be able to live with myself? No, if I destroyed the pack, how would I be with Zander? And if I destroyed Zander, how would I live?I had fallen head over heels in love with him. I was a hopeless case. There was a way he stared at me sometimes as though he had something to say. Other times, he looked at me with so much love and so much faith. I could not imagine ruining the faith he had in me.I soon became scared. Each time I was outside, I would look around the pack. I would see the ch
Against All Odds I WANT TO GROW OLD WITH YOU
ZANDEREver since my mom exposed Rey to me, my life had not been the same. I was constantly thinking about it, wishing and hoping that somewhere there was a mistake. Each time I looked at Rey, her eyes held so much love for me. She spent most of her time by my side, and at night she was always in my room.Sometimes, I was tempted to get upset at her for playing me for a fool and treat her the way I thought she deserved. But I couldn't bring myself to do so. I didn't know why I loved her so much despite knowing her for such a short time. I was restless, and it kept eating at me.There were times when I would make eye contact with my sister when addressing the warriors, with Rey by my side. From the look on Zaan's face, I would know what she was thinking. There were other times too when I made eye contact with my mom, who always had her eyes on Rey. I knew what she was thinking as well.Though my mom had told me not to expose anything to Rey, I kept my eyes on her. Not because I wanted
Against All Odds BOUND TO EACH OTHER
WALKERFor the first time in my life, I felt as though the universe was within my reach and I could grab it and give myself the life of my dreams. This was all possible because of Zaan. Her confession made me feel on top of the world, although there was turmoil in my heart. It made me believe that this moment was surreal; somehow, it felt like a dream.Zaan had just met me, so her confession that she also loved me was a miracle. Yes, I had come after her with hopes that she would accept my proposal, but hearing her admit everything without holding back, I didn't know how to react. I wanted to be sure that this moment was real. I held her cheeks and said, "Look into my eyes, Zaan, and tell me that you aren't joking. This isn't a plan or a trick, right? Do you truly love me just as you've said?"She smiled, "Will I joke about something as important as this? This is how I feel.""So, for how long have you felt this way?" I asked, still not believing it."Well, ever since I realized th
Against All Odds I WANT TO BE YOUR EVERYTHING
CARTERI knew what Walker was up to and it scared me. I loved Zaan, more than I could imagine and I hated myself for pushing her away from me. At the time, I had not realized how deep my feelings for her ran. Also, I had been under the impression that Zaan was madly in love with me but did not know how to back down when she needed to.Now I had to compete for her attention. Walker wanted her and as a man, I could tell. I was threatened by the fact that Zaan seemed to have a soft spot for him. This was evident in the way she gave him preferential treatment.I had been searching for her for a while, only to see her coming out from the direction of the unclean river and Walker did the same almost immediately.It was at this point I decided to have a conversation with Walker but he was too arrogant for his own good. I was merely marking my territory but a rookie like him dared to disrespect me. He was about to learn how things really worked around here.I watched him walk away and had a
