TWENTY YEARS LATERREINAI stood before my dad who sat beside my mom. "I am ready to go, Dad," I said."Must she do this?" my mom asked. "It's unnecessary and risky."My dad ignored her, and so did I. She was too softhearted for our liking."Listen," my dad said, "you are beautiful, capable, and the strongest werewolf in this pack. You're the only one fit enough to carry out my revenge. I have told you the story of how I was humiliated and how I was almost killed by Zara. Always remember this. Do not forget your mission."I nodded. "Of course, Dad. I can never forget.""What is your mission?" he asked.I smiled, "My mission is to go to the Neutral Pack, earn the trust of Zara and Anders, make their children my friends, and destroy the pack, burning it to the ground."My father got up and patted me on the back, "You have my blessings, and I'm sure that you will be successful. "I bid farewell to my dad and mom and left the Black Arrow Pack as I began my journey to the Neutral Pack. I k
REINAThe warrior who had come out to help me took me into the Neutral Pack. He led me into a room and placed me on the floor.After applying the antidote to my injury, I felt a little bit better, but I was still in pain. As he set me down, I surveyed the room and realized it was a place for the injured. It was the pack's clinic.He stood up with his arms folded, staring at me as I lay on the ground. I looked up and met his gaze. "Why was he looking at me? Could it be that he had fallen for me?" I didn't know who he was, but I had a feeling he was Zara's son. If that were the case, it was important that he developed feelings for me. It would make my mission very easy.After staring at me for a while, he sat on a chair across from me and asked, "What exactly happened to you, Rey?"I let tears roll down my cheeks. I had planned to appear pathetic and miserable when I eventually arrived at the Neutral Pack. My dad had told me they were emotional fools. Despite Zara's strength, if I acte
ZAANI walked home in the company of my best friend, Carter, and three other warriors in my Pack. Carter was a werewolf, Lara was a hybrid, and then the other two were lycans.Carter and I have been friends since we were little, and I've always had a crush on him. I think he knew; he was aware of how I felt about him, but I never said anything to him, and he never reacted either. He and Lara were good friends, just as we were, but we were much closer; that was until I defeated him during a wrestling contest. He felt embarrassed because others laughed at him. Well, it couldn't be helped. I was a hybrid, not just any hybrid but the daughter of Zara and Anders. So, how could he beat me? My brother and I were trained by my parents, and they gave special attention to us when we were growing up. My brother, Zander was the only one I could not defeat in my pack. Every other warrior could not match my strength. After me, Carter was the strongest warrior, which was why he felt embarrassed w
ZANDERI watched my mom quiz Rey, and I stood by the door, impressed by how good she was at her job. I was learning from her every day.However, when she got to the door, she stopped and looked at Rey in some kind of way. I knew that look; it meant something was amiss. My mom was uncomfortable with Rey's presence.I followed her until we got to her house and asked, "Mom, there's a way you stared at Rey. It made me feel as though something is wrong. Are you uncomfortable with her, or do you suspect her or something?"My mom laughed, "I only looked at her and asked all those questions because I noticed you like her.""I like her? What are you saying, Mom?"She said, "Well, maybe I am wrong, but I just think you showed her too much attention.""I just feel sorry for her, Mom. C'mon, she has been through a lot.""I get it," my mom said. "My bad. I guess I was just paying too much attention to my son."I smiled and walked away, telling my mom that I was going to help Rey set up. In all hon
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
