Against All Odds WE DO NOT REGRET
ANDERSBrandon seemed so happy when he saw Zara's eyes become misty. He mocked, "Really, Zara? Are you finally regretting the decisions you made? I warned you, didn't I? But you gave up your true family, turned your back on your father, and turned your back on me for the sake of our enemies. What did I tell you? I warned you that it would not work out. I told you that it wouldn't end well for you, but you ignored my words. You were so proud and full of yourself, and you thought you were wiser. You thought you were better than those who had come before you. Look at you today, about to become my slave, surrounded, cornered, and weak. And now you're crying. There's no need for that. Tears will not help you."I folded my hands, feeling an intense hatred toward Brandon. Right from the very start, he had been a thorn in our flesh. I didn't understand how he managed to survive until now.Just as we had planned, Zara, who had begun to cry at this point, said, "Tell me. I'm not just talking

BRANDONI watched in surprise as Zara and Anders turned their backs on us and faced each other. They began to talk lovingly to each other, ignoring us. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Instead of focusing on what was more important, they were busy doing nonsense.I was upset, but I wanted to see where it would lead. Zara cupped Anders' face, and as I listened to their conversation, I heard her say, "I choose you before, and I'll choose you again. If we cannot live together, then let us die together." I scoffed, knowing that the Zara I knew would not want to die. Anders said, "I love you so much, Zara, and no matter what, we will always be together."Ignoring all our angry and surprised faces, they kissed each other, and after that, they ran towards the cliff. It was as though a movie was playing right in front of me. I could not believe it. They both jumped off the cliff. "No! Zara!" I screamed. I ran towards the cliff. I didn't want Zara to die. I knew she was more useful to

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
Last Updated : 2023-04-14Against All Odds EPILOGUE
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

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
