Against All Odds YOU BELONG TO ME
BRANDONI watched Zara walk away from me at the neutral grounds and controlled my emotions, "Zara, you belong to me and I'm going to prove it to you." I knew something had changed. Yes, Zara never gave me any guarantees but she had never blatantly rejected me either. She was not so opposed to the idea of being my mate, only hesitant. I had thought she needed time, that she was going to come around.At twenty-five, I was quite older than her so I tried to tolerate her immaturity but Zara was different now. I smelled another scent on her when she spent the night outside the walls of our pack.I knew the scent belonged to a male. Zara didn't have friends and did not like it when people touched her. If she got so close to someone that I could perceive his scent on her, then their relationship was not simple. If the werewolf she had spent the night with, was her mate, she would not have hesitated to let everyone know about him, especially me.I wished she would though, so I would kill him

ZARAAfter Brandon ruined my moment with Anders, I left and went to the boundary and there he was, the love of my life, looking as charming as ever even while catching arrows. The warriors in my pack were attacking him and it made me so angry but I tried not to let my anger show. Even if Anders was skilled at catching the arrows, it still did not minimize the risks that came with being shot with one. All our arrows were made with the addition of poisonous plants, the chances of surviving an attack from one were very slim. How could I quietly tolerate it when one mistake on Ander's part could take away my will to live?I wished we could read each other's thoughts, I would have loved to know what he was thinking at this point. I briefly stared at him and noticed that his expression was not good. Was he okay? I couldn't make eye contact with him for long because I didn't want to give myself away.I was trying to set the warriors in my pack straight when Brandon arrived and took my side.

BRANDONFrom the moment I saw the mark on Zara's clavicle, I was determined to find out the werewolf she was so desperately trying to hide. After she walked away from the boundary, I did some thinking and finally came up with a plan. I was going to follow her routine, no matter what, I would catch this werewolf whom I was convinced was an omega.The first thing I did was to mask my scent with plants so Zara would not be able to smell me from afar. I knew she went to the boundary as early as five every morning, so I waited outside at four-thirty. I hid in a way that I could see her when she headed to the boundary in the morning. I believed that if I followed her all through the day, I would get what I was looking for.Just as I had expected, she came out a few minutes before five and began running to the boundary. I followed her stealthily until I was able to see her at the boundary. I noticed her waving at someone on the other side and was shocked. I knew without a doubt that the oth

ZARAI stayed at the boundary with some of my pack's warriors while Anders was on the other side with some of his. I knew he was only there so we would get a chance to stare at each other but that did not happen. There were too many eyes.He probably became bored just as I did and decided to go back home but before then, he risked one last loving smile at me and my heart skipped a beat. I watched him say goodbye to his fellow warriors from the corner of my eyes and also wanted to leave.However, I didn't want to leave immediately he did, I couldn't make it obvious so I stayed back for a while. Our arrangement wasn't so bad afterall. In the mornings, I could stare at him without any interruption, which could get me through the rest of the day.While I was still planning to leave, I heard the sound of our drums and was surprised. I had not heard it in a long time since the werewolves in my pack barely committed any crimes.After such a long time, I was going to see my father being the m

ZARAI stared at my dad as more tears fell from my eyes. Everyone was waiting for me to speak, including Brandon. Rejecting Anders? How was that even possible?I shook my head, "I am sorry, dad. I cannot swear before you all because I cannot let go of Anders. I tried it before, it's not something I can do."My dad's expression changed to one of anger and it made me afraid. Previously he wasn't happy but I could tell that he was hopeful. However, the emotion I saw in his eyes broke my heart even more. My dad had never looked at me in that manner. I did not blame him, it wasn't his fault. It wasn't my fault too that I was mated to a lycan but I blamed Brandon for causing a rift between my father and me. I hated him more than ever.My dad gritted his teeth, "should you refuse, Zara, you will lose everything. This is your last chance so make the right choice."I stared at my stepmom and brother, they were both smiling. I looked at the crowd, the warriors, and finally, at Brandon, he seem

ZARAI heard Brandon say, "I want her alive," and I kept on running until I got to the gate. It was unfortunate that I had dropped my bow but I still had so many arrows stacked at my back. Fortunately, my dad had not asked the warriors to disarm me earlier, escaping would have been much more difficult if that were the case.The two warriors at the gate wanted to stop me but I held two arrows in my hands and aimed one at them. Not as effective as using a bow but just a prick was all I needed to get them out of my way. Seeing that they could easily get poisoned by my arrows, they both moved to the side. My saving grace was the fact that Brandon wanted me alive, obviously to humiliate me and satisfy his lust but I would have died before letting him touch me in that way. If the warriors chasing me were shooting their arrows at me, I might not have successfully made it through the gate.Once out of the gate, I ran with all my might, to the only place that I knew could serve as a haven for

ANDERSI left the boundary and went back home. It had felt weird because they were too many lycans on my side and werewolves on Zara's side, we could not even stare at each other. I knew the warriors in my pack were shocked that I was there in the morning and still came back in the eveningIf they kept seeing Zara who was usually only at the boundary in the morning, would they figure it out?Zara was taking precautions so it was best for me to follow suit. I could not afford for anyone in my pack to find out about our relationship. If they did, the worst was going to happen.At the very least, I would get the chance to hold Zara close and speak to her in three days. When we meet, I would talk to her about not meeting in the boundary in the evenings. It was better we met only in the mornings when we had privacy and avoid when the boundary was crowded with our pack members.The moment I opened my tent, one of the warriors informed me that the Alpha wanted to see me.I quickly went to hi

ANDERSI quickly opened my tent and began to run. I knew I was able to hear Zara's howl because of our bond.As I ran toward the neutral grounds, I wondered if Zara was okay. The lycans at my pack's gate had stared at me in surprise when I asked them to open it for me. It wasn't the first time so I did not understand why they were surprised.I knew Zara was strong but I hoped that she was not wounded or in danger. When I got to the neutral grounds, I could not perceive Zara's scent but I knew she was there because the pain I was feeling became stronger.I began to roam the mountains searching for her and I was shocked when I saw her lying face down on a hill but that wasn't the problem. The problem was that there were two werewolves slowly approaching her with their arrows. The more I got closer, the more I saw them clearly. From the way they dressed, I could easily tell that they were from Zara's pack. Was I seeing a movie? Why would werewolves from her pack be aiming their arrows a

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
