Against All Odds YOU KNOW THE RULES
ZARAI spent the morning at home, not that I had anywhere else to go. Without Anders by my side, it was harder than I thought.I wasn't used to being idle but I was grateful to have a roof over my head with a partner who loved me with every precious breath he took.I needed to keep busy. If I kept being idle, it was going to affect me in ways I did not want. After thinking about what to do, I finally decided on cooking. Although Anders had rejected the idea, it was the only thing I could do without attracting attention or suspicion. The only problem was my ignorance in that aspect. I didn't know the first thing about cooking. I had stumbled on my step mum cooking a few times so I decided to sit and try to recall what exactly I had seen her doing.I did recall a few things and it made me excited, however, my excitement died down when it occurred to me that if I wanted to cook, I needed to do a lot of shopping. Anders bought the food we ate every day so we did not have a pot or anything

BRANDONI had thought long and hard and came to the conclusion that if Zara wasn't hiding at the neutral grounds then she was hiding at the lycans' pack. It could be that there was a safe place in his pack that only he knew about. He was a warrior afterall and was bound to know his way around his pack. I decided to ask other foolish warriors in his pack. I didn't think anything would come out of it but I was desperate and that was the only option I could think of.So the lycans' name was Anders? It was just as horrible as he was. I was surprised though to learn of his position but that only increased my suspicion. He was next in line to be the alpha which meant he could be hiding her until he became the alpha and then he would bring her out of hiding and make her his luna. That may have been why Zara threw everything away and went to him, in the end she was still going to get one of the highest positions in the pack but who was this Ruby?The werewolves claimed she was a lycan from t

ANDERSZara was worried that what happened at the boundary was a trap by Brandon and would bring consequences but I allayed her fears. If Brandon did not get the chance to see her, how could he ever figure out that she was here with me? When I finally put her mind to rest, she told me once more about her desire to cook for me but I laughed, "just wait here, my love and I'll go get lunch for us."She frowned at me but I shook her cheekbones until she began to laugh."Don't feel sad," I said to her, "I know it's not easy for you to be alone at home but once my seven hours are up each day, I will run back to you. Like now, I had to run with the speed of lightning just so I could come and see your beautiful face."My words seemed to make her happy as she began to smile from ear to ear. I went out and got a plate of food, which we ate together. After that, I returned the plate and quickly came back to be by her side.There was silence between us as she sat on the bed and hugged her knees.
Last Updated : 2023-03-16Against All Odds FIGHTING ME IS FIGHTING ANDERS
ZARAI slowly began to back up. I did not want to fight, it was too risky so I tried to reason with him, "it hasn't come to this. I don't want to fight, I just want you to leave the omega alone.You are a warrior and Anders is your leader. He is also the next alpha of this pack so think of the implication of what you are doing. Fighting me is fighting Anders."My words did not seem to have an effect on him."You asked for this," he growled right before he charged at me.I had no choice but to defend myself. I tried not to show my skills though and that gave him the opportunity to bite my arm as he jumped. I punched his neck and he fell on his back. I looked at my arm and noticed I was bleeding.He howled briefly in pain before going for my leg. He bit my left leg and I pulled it away as I yelped in pain. Seeing that he had torn off a piece of my flesh, I lost it and kicked him so hard, sending him flying a few meters away from us and landing painfully on the ground.He remained on the

ANDERS I hurried back home as usual to meet my baby but I was surprised when the atmosphere seemed off. I did not get the loving welcome I was hoping for, and all I could see was guilt in Zara's eyes.I locked my tent and took her in my arms, "whatever it is, Ruby, don't be so sad. I can't bear to see you this way."She proceeded to tell me everything that happened and I stared at her in shock unable to believe that she had exposed herself after everything I told her."I am so sorry," she cried. "I tried to ignore the screams but I just couldn't. I wasn't able to."I sighed in frustration, "why didn't you try harder, Ruby? That omega is Riley's slave, there's a reason I asked you not to get involved with her affairs."Seeing that Zara was feeling so bad, I calmed down and took her in my arms again, "I am sorry, baby. Are you in any pain?"She shook her head, "I am fine, Anders. I already healed."I got up from the bed, "I never knew Kyle as someone who was capable of rape but how dar

ZARAI knew I should not have fought the lycan, I made a big mistake but why wouldn't Anders let it go? I was worried about him. I didn't know what he would do to the lycan who I knew was already in a lot of pain.If he ended up killing him, there might be consequences. I was not conversant with all their laws but one thing I did know was that I would not be able to forgive myself if Anders came to any harm because of me.After pacing up and down restlessly, I decided to go after Anders and ensure he did not take any action he would regret. It was cute that he was very protective of me but he had forgotten that I was once a warrior.I opened the door of the tent and tried to figure out the direction he went. I was surprised to see him and Riley standing together so many meters away from the tent. I heaved a sigh of relief, at least he wasn't trying to kill that lycan.I noticed that Riley was standing so close to him and wondered what she was up to. She hugged him and noticed I was st

BRANDONI had been waiting at the boundary for a while but there was no sign of Zara. The alpha's daughter had said Zara would be there before sunset but I was yet to see her.Did Zara not take the bait? She wasn't someone who was that easy to manipulate or control so it was possible that things had not gone according to plan. No matter what, the alpha's daughter had promised that Zara would be exposed if she refused to flee so that gave me a little bit of hope.Even without that, I was willing to wait at the boundary until it was morning because we could not afford to let Zara slip off our fingers once again.With each passing moment, I became more anxious. I kept thinking about all the ways I was going to punish Zara. I knew she must have given herself to that lycan and it hurt me so much. I had wanted to be the first to taste Zara. For so many years, I patiently waited for Zara to become ripe and when she did, I still waited for her to come around. I wanted to be the first man to
Last Updated : 2023-03-17Against All Odds THIS IS YOUR ONLY CHANCE
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

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
