BRANDON I kept looking at Anders and realized that he was waiting for Zara to come up.So, this was their grand plan. Well, not on my watch. I knew that at this point, Anders was distracted, and this was my chance because I also didn't want Zara to die. So, I began to slowly approach the cliff in a quiet manner to ensure that Anders would not hear me coming.I finally stood behind him, but because he was so engrossed in what he was doing, he had no idea that I was at his back. He kept bending and looking down while I stood waiting with the chain in my hand.After more than thirty minutes, I finally heard him say, "Zara, give me your hand." I kept watching until Zara placed her hand on the top of the cliff and slowly crawled out. Just at that moment, when Anders was about to turn, I kicked him off the cliff. I heard his loud screams as he plunged to the bottom. I knew that was the end of the road for him.Zara turned and stared at me. She was sitting at the edge of the cliff at this
ZARAI held on to the chain and pulled it back. Brandon pulled with all his might but so did I. I didn't know where I got the strength from, I had felt so weak earlier when Anders fell off the cliff, but now, I seemed to have summoned all the strength I could. I pulled the chain until it came off Brandon's hand. He seemed to be very shocked by it. I took the chain off my neck and struck it on his leg. He was surprised by how fast I acted and instantly jumped, but that made him lose his balance. I got up and charged at him, jumping on his body. The impact sent him falling to the ground with me sitting on top of him. I began to scratch his face with my claws. I scratched as much as I could but, each time I scratched he instantly healed.When he realized I was out for blood, he punched me very hard in my stomach and I rolled off his body. As I recalled the baby in my womb, I clutched my stomach and I felt his feet coming for the same spot he had punched but I wasn't fast enough to reac
AVERYFrom the moment I realized Brandon was my mate, I loved him deeply and looked forward to a happy future with him. Who wouldn't love him? He was strong, brave, and fearless. He had his good and bad qualities, but he was mine, and I was head over heels in love with him. I ran to him excitedly to tell him the news and express my desire to spend the rest of my life with him. I was happy with who fate had given me as a mate, but it wasn't the same for him. He shook his head and said, "Not you, it shouldn't be you." I was surprised and asked him who it should be instead, and he responded with "Zara."From that moment on, I understood that Brandon was in love with Zara. Whatever it was he felt for her, which I eventually realized was an obsession, was stronger than what he had for me. I begged him not to reject me and told him that I loved him, but he refused to give me a chance. The pain was excruciating, and for days, I fell ill. The emotional pain was difficult to bear.It wasn't
ZARAI spared Brandon's life because of Avery. No matter how angry I was, despite how much I had promised that I would kill him when I saw her crying and begging for his life, I imagined myself in her shoes. Perhaps if Anders was in that situation and someone wanted to kill him, I would also be willing to lay my life for him. If I killed Brandon now, Avery would try to end her life as well. What would be the difference between the both of us? So, I let him go with injuries.I walked to the edge of the cliff and stood there looking at it. Anders, my Anders had gone. I went on my knees and closed my eyes as I tried to imagine his face.I traveled back down memory lane to the first time I met Anders. I remembered how he had jumped into the river and how upset I was when he marked me. He had apologized, saying that he did not mean to mark me. Perhaps that was the first time my heart was moved after hearing him speak.I recalled when we climbed the hill and Anders promised that no matter w
ZARAI stared at Anders in surprise as he climbed up the cliff. I moved backward, not able to believe the sight in front of me. I felt like I was dreaming, Anders was standing in front of me and he was staring at me with a smile. I wiped my tears and closed my eyes. When I opened them, he was still standing in front of me."Anders," I exclaimed. "Zara," he replied with a smile. I threw myself into his arms and broke down in tears. "Shhhh," he shushed me. "It's okay, it's okay, my love."I pulled myself away from his hold and stared at him again. I cupped his face. "Anders, is this you? Am I dreaming right now?"Anders chuckled. "You're always asking me if you're dreaming. This is reality."I gently kissed him on his cheeks just to be sure that it was really Anders. When I pulled away, I shook my head and asked, "Anders, you came back to me?""Yes, I came back to you," he said. "To be honest, I thought I was going to die when I was kicked off the cliff. I found myself struggling, I r
One year later, Zara walked slowly out of the house while Anders stood at a distance, fixing arrows in their fence. He noticed Zara standing outside staring at him and quickly rushed to her as he asked, "Is everything okay? Is the baby ready to come out?" Zara smiled at him, "I'm not sure if the baby wants to come out right now but I know it's any time soon since according to my calculations, the due date has already passed." Anders placed his arm around her waist and led her back into the house, saying, "Don't worry, everything will be fine. The midwife did tell me that sometimes, it was okay to go beyond the due date by a few days. Once our baby is ready to come out, together, we will bring him or her into the world.""But will it be okay?" Zara asked. "I'm afraid because even though the midwife taught you so many things, you haven't done this before and we are both....""It's okay, my love." Anders interrupted. "You worry too much. Yes, it would be okay and I will never let you

ARYANI got ready for school and when I came out, my parents were in the living room waiting for me. From the look on their faces, I could tell they had a lot to say, and I had no choice but to sit and listen. I turned eighteen three days ago and since then, I had been eager to find out who my mate is. I thought I wouldn't get one since more than a day had passed. But then, I felt her presence on my way back from school and realized I had caught her scent even before then. My wolf, Zachary was excited and we had figured out that she was in the same high school as me. I had been so excited when I found out yesterday and told my parents. No doubt they were happy for me but now, I was about to get the big lecture.I sat across from them as my dad said, "You know, now that you've gotten a mate, you have to be more responsible. This means that you have to cut down on frivolities and by that I mean, unnecessary partying, acting without thinking about the consequences, and moving about wit
