RILEYAfter leaving Anders, I hid somewhere and observed him as he went back to his tent and came out to buy things at the market. I instantly understood that he was going to escape. Did he think I was a fool?Now I regretted not going with my earlier plan. Perhaps Zara might have fallen for it and run away and she would have ended up being caught at the neutral grounds by Brandon. I should have known that Anders was too hard and would not give in to my demands.However, if he thought I was going to let him leave quietly then he was in for a big surprise.I went to my dad and said, "Father, I have something to tell you about Anders."My dad regarded me for a while and said, "go ahead, I'm listening.""I found out today that Anders' mate, Ruby is not a lycan. She is a werewolf from the Black Arrows Pack. Her real name is Zara, she is the daughter of the alpha and also a warrior in her pack.I sent Kyle, one of our warriors to confirm this and Zara beat him up so badly that he could no
ZARAThe alpha asked Anders to kill me and he turned and stared at me. I smiled reassuringly at him which was in contrast with how I had earlier cried. I knew there was a storm in Anders' heart, having once been in a somewhat similar situation.I wanted him to know that it was okay, no matter what happened in the end, it was okay. Even if we did not make it out because we were outnumbered, it was still okay.He turned his attention back to the alpha and his warriors. He tried to tow the path of peace even though the possibility of it was slim."I am very sorry, Alpha," he apologized. "Zara is my fated mate and I cannot live without her. I understand that what I did was very wrong, I was desperate and I took advantage of your love and trust. Please, forgive my deception. For the sake of the relationship we shared in the past, please, let Zara and me leave peacefully. I promise that we will never appear in front of you again."The alpha's eyes darkened and the anger in them was unmistak
ANDERSI had never given any fight my all as I did when fighting the lycans, perhaps because I fought for a different reason; Zara's life. I knew that if I fell, Zara would not be able to take on all the warriors.The werewolves were good with their arrows, without them, Zara was at a disadvantage, so I fought with everything I had.I didn't want to kill the lycans, I trained some of these warriors and as for the others, we grew up together. I focused on paralyzing them, making them unable to fight so I went directly for their backs.It was stressful though, it took more time because I had to aim for the right spot. Killing them would have been much easier, with just one strike to the heart or neck.My alpha stood in front of me watching as I beat almost all the warriors to the ground. I saw the anger on his face but I couldn't care less about his feelings at this point. Whoever wanted my Zara dead deserved to die. More warriors arrived from outside the gate and I still gave it my all
ZARAWe ran out of Anders' pack as quickly as possible without looking back. I touched my face where the alpha had punched me. He had scratched me with his claws as well and the pain had been sharp but my face had healed and I could feel my smooth skin when I touched it.That was more than I could say for Anders who was slowing down due to the injury on his right belly. He was bleeding and it made me worry. I knew how dangerous it was for a lycan to push himself when he was injured.Lycans needed to rest after severe injuries until their wounds had healed otherwise, they may not heal at the right time. Some unfortunate lycans had been known to spend months healing because they pushed themselves too hard when their injuries had not healed.I stopped moving and stared at Anders. He wanted us to keep going but I took the bag he was holding and said, "your injury will not heal until morning and it's risky for you to keep running so fast with it. Let us hide somewhere for now, we can leave
BRANDONI waited for Zara while hiding at the boundaries but there was no sign of her. Minutes and hours ticked by and I began to wonder if the alpha's daughter had lied to me.I kept waiting nevertheless until my patience paid off. I heard footsteps from where I was hiding and when I looked, I saw her, the object of my desire, my obsession.I knew she was going to look beautiful in a dress. It was short and it made her so sexy. I didn't like the fact that she had cut her hair but I didn't mind. I was going to have so much fun tearing that dress off her body and pulling her short hair with so much force while she choked on my d*ck.I reminded the warriors as I realized they had become aware of us, "target only the lycan, I want Zara alive." The warriors began to shoot their arrows but they were very careful. They could not all shoot at once because Zara could be hit as well but this did not mean they were allowed to give up.I suddenly realized the lycan was injured in his right abdom
ZARAAnders and I ran away from the werewolves and were heading toward the river so I could get my weapons. However, Anders suddenly stopped and said, "go ahead, Zara, I will buy you time." "No," I refused. "You're injured and not in a condition to fight them all. If their arrows touch you, that's the end. Please don't make me leave you."Anders nodded and we continued running but he asked, "do you trust me, Zara?""More than anything," I replied.He stopped and said, "I promise you, Zara, that no arrow will touch me. Take these arrows which I caught and protect yourself, go."Anders quickly ran into the bushes after speaking while I took a curve and continued to the river.I turned my back and stared at the bush where he entered, I was so afraid for his life but I knew that the best way I could help him was if I were with my bow and arrows so I increased my speed and stopped looking back. I soon arrived at the river and went to the side as I dropped the bag that hung on my back. I q
ZARAI was not going to plead for Brandon. Anders could go ahead and kill him for all I cared. It was beneficial for us if he was not alive but I noticed Anders was hesitating. I wondered why and finally recalled that he had once promised me that he wasn't going to kill Brandon. Was Anders holding back because of me?I moved closer to tell Anders that he could go ahead and kill Brandon but then I heard footsteps, the sounds of warriors approaching.At first, I thought they were more werewolves but after listening to the direction they were coming from, I realized they were not. Anders' attention was focused on Brandon and he seemed not to have heard the sounds so I said, "Anders, lycans are coming." He turned to look at me and when he turned his attention back to Brandon, the latter had disappeared. That was the least of our problems at that point.Anders quickly said, "get on my back, Zara."I stared at him as I hesitated. I knew that only big wolfs like Anders could be ridden, with
RILEYI watched the fight between Anders and our pack warriors from where I hid and was filled with dread, mostly for Anders. I had hoped that the werewolf would be killed easily and Anders would be subdued. I knew he was strong but there was no way he could take on so many warriors. That darn werewolf just stood watching the fight while Anders took all the risk.The more the fight got intense, the more my body began to shiver. I was in awe of Anders and also impressed that he was doing his best not to kill our warriors but they seemed out to kill him.I wondered if my dad gave the order since I had specifically begged him to leave a way out for Anders. My dad watched the fight with arms folded and I did not need to see his face to know that he was fuming at how his warriors were easily defeated.Anders was amazing, I had never seen a warrior like him and I felt even more jealous of Zara. I wished he was fighting for me instead. Then I saw my dad charge at Anders when he had his bac
