Against All Odds I AM SCARED
When Adele and Diana arrived at the café, Mrs. Harold looked at them in surprise, "Shouldn't you two be in school? What are you both doing here?" Adele smiled and, "Thanks, Mrs. Harold. Trust me, I can never joke with my education, and neither will Diana. It's just that something important has come up, and I figured it's important to share it with you.""Alright then, go ahead," Mrs. Harold replied. Diana turned on her camera and began to take a video as Adele explained everything to Mrs. Harold. Mrs. Harold shook her head and said, "So it was Selene all along. Interesting. To be honest, I always had the feeling it was her but accusing her without concrete proof is the same as saying you're guilty of everything you've been accused of. I always felt it was Selene because if anyone has a motive, it's her."Adele sighed, "I also suspected Selene so many times, but there were a few times certain things didn't add up. Like when she supposedly had a sleepover at her friends'. I was made

Right after Selene ran back to her room, Aryan's car arrived. Her father quickly went into her room and said, "Listen, Aryan is here, don't ruin our plans.""Okay," she replied.When Selene's father saw that Aryan was coming out of his car, he hurried into Adele's room, took out a small bottle from his pocket, and sprayed its contents in the room while covering his nose. After that, he closed the door and came out. He acted as though he wanted to go out and bumped into Aryan at the door. "Aryan, you're here?" He asked, pretending to be surprised.Aryan nodded, "Yes." He seem really anxious, and Adele's father knew that it was because he wanted to know what Adele had to say to him."I'm here to see Adele," Aryan added. "She sent me a text and said she was home." "Yes, she was at home," her father replied. "She just stepped out to get some snacks. She did tell me that she was expecting a guest and wanted to get snacks for her guest, but she did not make me aware that you were the one

Adele remained in the café, waiting and looking at the time. "In just a few hours, I'll meet with Aryan and tell him the truth," she said to Diana, who was videoing her. "Come on, stop it already. Why do you keep videoing me?""You're too anxious," Diana replied. "Besides, I want to make sure I have the complete footage of you, including when you are talking to Aryan.""So, you mean you'll make a video of me even when I'm talking to Aryan?""Yes, I don't think he'll mind," Diana replied.Adele smiled. "You are sweet indeed.""Of course, I am," Diana replied, "which is why no matter what, you can't do without me. Even if the world tries to separate us, you'll always find a way to run back to me. Because what are you without Diana? "I am nothing," Adele replied, and they both laughed.Right at that moment, she received a text. When she opened it, she was surprised. The text was from Aryan, and it read, "Something came up, I need you to meet me right away because I can't come to the ca

When Adele fell down, her dad quickly came out of the room. Selene took out Adele's phone from her pocket and said, "Take it, Dad." He went through her gallery and deleted the evidence she took of Selene's closet and the message they had sent to her with Aryan's phone. After that, he put the phone back in her pocket and said, "Come, Selene. You need to take her away." "Alright, where do I take her to?" Selene asked. "I'll tell you about it," he replied. He carried Adele straight to Selene's car and put her in the back seat before saying, "Drive her to the woods and dump her there." "But she's going to wake up anytime soon." "Yes, but it doesn't matter. Just do what I said." "Listen, Dad," Selene stopped her father. "Adele isn't wearing the clothes she wore when she left the house." Her father looked at Adele, "Oh no, this is going to be a big problem because you do not have these clothes." "I don't think anyone will even notice," Selene said. "No, she has to change up." Her d

Selene drove her car towards a quiet spot. After checking around to ensure that there was no one, she took Adele out of the car, brought her into the woods, and left her by a tree. After that, she got back into her car and drove away. Her dad had told her not to come back home until after Aryan had been taken away, so she went back to school to pretend that she had something keeping her busy. Meanwhile, the mayor arrived with some of his betas at Adele's house. Adele's father led him to the bedroom, and he was shocked when he saw the state Aryan was in. "Did you say Adele did this?" he asked. Her father sighed, "I don't know. I went out briefly to get something. Adele was the one he came to see and she asked him to be in her bedroom. I went out when he came because I got a call from my place of work. I saw Adele coming in and that was when I left. However, I forgot something and decided to come back. When I came back, I was surprised to realize that Adele was not at home. At first

Aryan's father got up and said, "I have decided a punishment for her. Adele tried to kill you and by doing so, she tried to end my lineage and kill the next alpha of Newfalls; the only lycan other than your mom and me.This crime can never be forgiven. She will be given the ultimate punishment, which is execution." Aryan shook his head weakly, "No, Dad, I'm sure there is an explanation. I mean...""There will be no more excuses," Aryan's father replied. "I have given her enough chances. I have spared her so many times because she's your mate. But this time, she made an attempt on your life. If nothing is done to her, what do you think she will do next? Should we wait until she actually kills someone else or even you? I'm sure you only let your guard down because you were around her. No werewolf in this pack can measure up to your strength, but you were stabbed just like a chicken. Why? Because you were trusting the wrong person. I will not let that happen anymore. Now you're goin

Diana sat by her mom's bedside, holding her hand. They had to cut short their trip because her mom felt sick earlier in the day. After Mrs. Harold dropped Adele off at her house, she was about to take her back home when she received a call from her dad. He told her that they had just returned home because her mom fell sick. She was surprised and quickly rushed back home, to find her mom down with a fever. The doctor came to check on her and prescribed some medication. While they were still there, her dad received a call from the mayor, who asked him to report to his house because it was very important. Her dad left, and she remained at home with her mom. But now that it was getting dark, she wondered why her dad was taking so long since he wasn't on duty for the week and she wanted to find out from Adele how it went with Aryan.She had tried to call her but Adele was not taking her calls so she wanted to go to her place and see her. She couldn't leave her mom alone in her conditio

Aryan quickly rushed to the café where Adele worked, and there he saw Mrs. Harold sitting dejectedly on a chair. She stared at him when he walked in without saying a word. Diana walked in and saw him. She said, "Good evening, Mrs. Harold. With the look on your face, I can tell that you've also heard that Adele is dead." Mrs. Harold shook her head, "Life is really unfair. How can the innocent get punished for the crimes they did not commit? "Please show me the evidence," Aryan requested. Diana gave him Adele's diary, and he began to read about her life in her father's house and the things Selene did to her. He was shocked that Adele went through such things. "This... Did Selene really do all this to Adele?" he asked. Diana said, "I witnessed most of it myself, many times. Selene treats Adele like a slave, and even her father hates her with a passion. Adele always felt that she wasn't their real child, that she was adopted because of how they hated her. He never bought any clothe

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
