ZAANAfter my mom spoke to me about the mission, I began to walk around the pack, as I thought of how to carry it out.I noticed Carter, standing a little distance away from where I stood. He was talking to Lara, and they were both smiling. He turned, and his eyes caught mine, but I looked away instantly.How could I not have realized he had feelings for Lara? All this time, I thought he felt something for me. But I was most upset by the fact that he spoke about me not letting him feel superior. As far as I was concerned, that was bullshit. To hell with the mate bond. I needed to focus on my mission but first of all, I had to see the girl in question, the one my mom wanted me to find out about. So, I went into the tent my brother had set up for her. When I walked in, she had a surprised look on her face, her brows furrowed, and I knew she was trying to figure out who I was."Hi," I said to her. "I learnt your name is Rey.""Yes, I am Rey," she replied."Okay, I am the assistant gamma
REINAI had Zander where I wanted him. I did not expect it to be this easy. I had never been with a man before or revealed myself in such a way, but my Dad had told me to accomplish my mission by any means necessary. So, I wasn't willing to hold back. I was going all in.Realizing that Zander was my easiest prey since he was next in line to be the Alpha of the pack, I knew that once I had him completely under my control, my mission was bound to be a success.He turned immediately when I took off my clothes, but only I knew that it had taken a great deal of effort and willpower for me to do what I did. I was a proud person, but I presented myself in a different light before him just to accomplish my mission. However, he quickly turned his back on me and I was tempted to laugh. It was funny to see that he was so innocent. I was also innocent in this aspect, but I pretended to be the experienced one.As he had his back to me, I could hear his heartbeat. Was he anxious? How could a mere
ZAANI left my pack in the company of Walker as we headed west. While we walked, I remained in front while he walked behind me. After a while, he caught up to me and asked, "Are you okay?"I turned and stared at him, "Yes, why do you ask?"He shrugged, "I don't know, but you seem angry.""What makes you think I am angry?" I asked him.He said, "I may be wrong, but the way you reacted to Carter was weird. I mean, you and I were sparring yes, but only we knew that. Carter is supposedly your friend, and he probably thought you were being attacked. The way you just became all defensive and spoke rudely to him... I don't know, I just... well, maybe I'm wrong."I shook my head, "I didn't know you were such a talkative. I must have judged you wrongly." "Hey," he said, raising his hands, "I'm just trying to understand you.""Don't try. You'll only get confused," I told him."Are you and Carter a couple?" he asked out of the blue. "I mean, I can recall when I first saw you, when you gave my b
REINAWhen Zander pulled away from me, I was initially surprised and worried. I thought he was going to tell me that he did not feel the same way I did. But then, I noticed that his eyes were looking ahead of me, and I realized someone was coming. I instantly turned and saw his mom, Zara Silver.There was a way she looked at me. She had looked at me the same way when we first met. I didn't know what it meant. It gave me an uncomfortable feeling, but it was replaced with a smile, just like the first time.I smiled at her too. "Good evening Luna.""Hey, I was just looking around the camp, making sure everything was in order when I noticed two people standing here. I didn't know you were the ones," she said to us with a smile on her face.Zander smiled and said, "Oh, Mom, actually Rey was feeling really down, so I had to take her around the pack and show her a few places so she could take her mind off her worries.""Okay, that was really nice of you. You two should have fun. I'll be goin
WALKERThere was no doubt about it—I had fallen in love with someone, and it was none other than Zaan. She was my kind of woman.From the very moment I set my eyes on her, I fell for her. At the time, my brother was injured, so I couldn't really say anything. I just kept staring. I wasn't someone who spoke much, but when it came to her, I couldn't seem to keep my mouth shut. She had a temper, though. She really had a temper, but she was perfect—just perfect for me.I loved the fact that she was responsible and strong. She could be entrusted with serious tasks and she was also smart. She wasn't like the daughter of the Alpha of my former pack—the spoilt brat who knew nothing else other than feeling entitled.Zaan was willing to work for what she believed was hers. She had no idea how happy I was that she took me on this journey.When I had seen her that first time, I thought I would never get a chance because of how I saw her stare at Carter. I initially thought they were mates, but I
ZARAI couldn't sleep. Something about Rey irked me. After sitting up for a while, I came out of the house and decided to take a look at what she was up to.Earlier, I had seen her and Zander kissing, but I pretended not to notice. Seeing the way my son acted around her made it more difficult for me to feel at ease. Yes, I had never seen him that way before, and I didn't want to act without proof.I hadn't even told my husband about my suspicions because I was not one to accuse without solid evidence. But this night, I made my way to her tent. I wanted to see if my son was spending his night there with her.However, when I got to her tent, I realized she wasn't there. This convinced me that she was with Zander. So I went to his house to check. However, when I arrived there, he was alone. So where could she be?I decided to look all around for her. Knowing the world we lived in, I knew I had to protect my son and our pack. Even though Zander was capable enough, the very fact that he sh
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
