Derek’s POV Sincerely I was surprised she let down her guard and initiated the sex, no doubt I had enjoyed her. It felt different being intimate with my mate. I would have gone for another round but she looked really exhausted. "You're so pretty, I love you Tania" I whispered to her. I felt her shiver, I know what my voice does to her, her back faced me. I turned her over to face me, she couldn't meet my gaze "What's wrong? You regret what we just had?" I asked, certain of the answer but still wanted her answers "Of course not, I would never regret us being intimate" she replied with a faint smile. My hands trailed on those succulent lips, everything about her attracted me, sometimes I wonder if this is about the mate bond. "Let's get you to bed" I said, she looked like she's going to faint any minute from now, although she gestured that she was perfectly fine. Ignoring her, I Got two clean towels, tied on around my waist and cleaned her dry with the s
Tiana’s POV We were all together. It was all fun, I won't deny that I enjoyed Marcel's company. He behaved like a big brother I never had. I paid less attention to Derek, he kept a straight face but I knew he was not having fun at all. It was as though he could strangle Marcel. I chuckled, seeing his reaction. "Marcel, we would be going to the Alpha's cave, I would want you to investigate further. It's possible we could get something handy, mistakes could be made" Derek's voice interrupted the little conversation I was having with Marcel. I chuckled seeing my mate all jealous. "Where's the Alpha's cave? What's in the cave?" I asked, it was the first time I had heard of it. "Oh, it's just an old cave where most of our ancient kinds, mostly Alpha's and their subordinates meet, not everyone knows the place. Due to certain threats and betrayal of some pack members, we decided to reopen the Alpha cave secretly, only those trusted and loyal could get it." Marcel began explaini
Derek‘s pov. Marcel's interruption got me quickly enraged, I wanted to hit him hard, but at the same time it was funny, it would really be very nice if we were in a room though. "Oh I am sorry boss" Marcel added quickly, his voice was mocking, but he did not stay a minute more to allow me to send him another gnare, or more still a punch on the face. "I am sorry about that Tania" I called out, grabbing her waist so she relied on my shoulders with her elbows, her eyes directly fixated on mine. I grabbed her waist tightly, pushed her closer to my chest, so her breasts hit my chest softly, gently caressing my chest. I could not control it, I longed solely for her, nobody ever made me feel that hungry, that sort of longing I had never felt before. "Tania" I said in low breaths, I was whispering, "I want you Tania" I continued speaking, I know I had had her before, but I longed for her even more this time it seemed I would never get enough of her. "Really" she murmur
Derek’s POV “I'm sorry for yelling Tania, we just need to know everything about that pack, there's something about rogue attacks beginning from there," Marcel said, He was right though but I wouldn't want my mate being stressed to answer. She's not over what that pack did to her. "Tania, it's fine if you don't want to talk about it" I embraced her softly "Derek she needs to talk" Marcel yelled at me"Regard me with respect!! " I growled, I wouldn't have been concerned, it wouldn't have bothered me at all if it was another issue, but this is regarding my mate. I could feel my wolf livid"I'm sorry Alpha," Marcel said, he realized I was not in control, and let me handle Tania who was lost in thoughts We do need the information from Tania but if she's not willing to we'll have to look for a way around it. I hate seeing my luna in pain, and I wouldn't want to see her that way because of a mere issue I could have possibly avoided The drive was silent, it would be hours be
Tania’s POVSTOP THE CAR RIGHT NOW!" Derek growled I looked at him, in that instance I was already terrified, he looked really scary and his beast, I knew Derek was no longer in control. Marcel stopped the car and remained quiet, lowering his head not to enrage the Alpha. He was about to shift, his furs had already started protruding out, his fingers elongated into claws, his eyes were bloody red, and his beast was livid. I knew I am the only one who could calm his nerves now, but I couldn't move it was as though I was fixed on that spot. Little by little, I watched as the once cool and relaxed Alpha shifted into a terrifying beast, breathing heavily, it looked like it was about to pounce on anyone he sees. I was afraid the car would get destroyed hoarding such a large and weighty beast. Summoning courage I moved myself from the car seat towards Derek, I closed my eyes, praying silently as I stretched out my hands to smoothen his furs, the latter stopped breathing hea
Derek’s POV The sun's rays reflected into our room, I stood up hurriedly and shut down the windows knowing fully well it would disturb my mate's peaceful sleep. Last night wasn't easy. Closing the windows, I rested my head on the wall as images played clear in my mind. I yelled at her for the first time, what had come over me, I can't seem to know, it wasn't my decision to yell at her. "Derek, your decision all through this day has been irrational, what has come over you, you're not thinking clearly" she had said in her most soothing voice that I usually picked no offense in, but this time was different, I looked at her with annoyance even if she did nothing annoying."How dare you question me! Who the fuck do you think I am? I am an Alpha, the second most powerful in this realm and you dare question my decision." I yelled at her, she looked at me really shocked, she didn't expect me to raise my voice at her. She nodded as if understanding something and was about to walk out on me.
Tania's pov. I didn't know who it was, but he held me firmly in his hands, paralyzing all my effort to break out, I was sleeping, and hence my strength was greatly affected. I screamed, but my voice wouldn't escape the room, I knew so because of how weak I sounded. "You shouldn't make so much noise woman" one of the people holding me hollered, I was scared, very scared, I searched around with my eyes for Derek, for Marcel, for someone who would save me. I saw this, I knew something would happen when we got here, Derek's sudden behavior, Marcel's protectiveness. They dragged me, bundled me into a car, and sped off, I kept looking outside the mirror, and my eyes grabbed a figure, the figure of Derek coming out of a building, the restaurant opposite where we slept. I wanted to scream his name but my mouth was sealed. "Where are you guys taking me to" I mustered enough courage to ask, they were big, they had scary eyes, and I felt they wanted to kill me, but I just couldn't pla
Open pov. Ryan's hands traveled across Tania's cheek, he remembered her, the weak wolf that was rumored to have committed murder. "Where have you been " he queried, raising her head so she looked into his eyes, she didn't look skinny, sad, and retarded as she would always look when the wolves in his pack ordered her around, now she seemed to have grown courage, she was strong now, stronger than he used to remember. "I..i.." Tania stuttered in her speech, she opened her mouth, but words wouldn't come out, she was still scared of him, he still had that demeanor she feared. The stench of wickedness and hatred for her, she felt deeply, even his voice disclosed it. "You stammer now?" He fired, his voice was low, but it was firm, firm enough to make her tremble. "I am alive, " she replies finally, definitely not an answer to his question, but at least she said something. "You have developed a sense of humor, nice " his hands that had been caressing her face grabbe
FINALE…Tania's pov.I seat in bed completely paranoid, the feeling of driving blood seemed to be the last thing my soul neededI felt a part of me I never knew existed, I heard muffled screams of Derek as he called out my name which made me gain back my senses.Although I was still hunger driven and that psychotic side of me just wasn't ready to give up.However I feel his body go numb in my arms and instantly I regain my senses, I raised my eyes and they met with Tania’s.I remember asking her what I have done knowing well she watched as the woke thing happened...After regaining consciousness in the same room as Derek I pulled myself to be far away from him.I didn't want to hurt him anymore and he wasn't speaking to me as well, it caught me off guard as Kyle had requested to meet privately with my sister, me, and Marcel.I wait in anticipation but then I can see panic vividly written on Tina's face, she had never fir I ce shattered or shivered in my presence.Not even when she was
Derek's pov.I fall to her side completely shattered, with shaky hands I pull my singers towards her nostrils check-in if she had stopped breathing or not.Immediately my world freezes and shatters as I realize she isn't drawing any more breaths.Whatever had attacked her did it on purpose and aimed at her heart, the whole scenario makes me insane but then I'll have to hold myself together for the damw of the others.Tanid had died without getting a clear explanation about what had happened to me.She died thinking my love for her meant nothing at all and that I had found myself a mistress as soon as she disagreed to be with me."Stop whining she's not dead" a voice calls out from behind startling me at the moment."What do you mean she isn't dead?" I ask brushing my fingers across her nostrils once again yet her breathing isn't stable."Did you do this to her?" I ask with my nostrils flared, I rise and approach the female with much anger."Stop acting fool, I did nothing of such, and
Derek's pov.Tania.The name echoes through my head causing my eyeballs to split open, everyone seems confused as to why I screamed out her name or I must have done something wrong in my sleep but those don't matter right now.All I'm after is Tania's safety, I feel goosebumps on my skin and I can be rest assured it's not a good sign...I try speaking but those are the only things my voice could call out Tania's name.Marcel who had been my beta for enough years picked up instantly what I meant and takes matters into his own hands."He'll heal, he'll be better but for now all I need to ask you majorly Is a single question who saw Tania's, and where the hell is she?" Marcel asks in a very pissed voice.The pressure of the whole event is gradually getting to him, he had just gotten back from a trip that I had sent him.He needed rest but he remains adamant and insisted on being with me while I wom the game and yet still I'm in bed he was standing by me.He has to ensure the safety of th
Tania's pov.Hearing the growl symbolizes the fact that an alpha had caught his prey, and the low howl which accompanied it also symbolizes that the alpha had killed his prey as well.Who could it be among the two alphas? Of course, this isn't just a friendship game, it marks the union between the two packs.It also marks the domain of who holds much power between the two alphas, I'm forever thankful to Jenna and alpha Kai for helping me all through and being there for me.Also, I'm grateful to Kyle for supporting me all through my endeavors and struggles, but all in all, I'm still Derek's mate I can't eat h him or hope he loses.Deep within me I say silent prayers and wishes to the moon goddess that it should be Derek who wins the game.Another growl is heard and seconds after a howl which indicates that the second alpha had also got and killed his prey Yet none of them is seen at the front, both still in the woods. I strain my ears and eyes making sure all my senses are intact hopi
Elena's povEverything had fine exactly the way I wanted it to, the awkwardness at the entrance,The anger and tension during the tour, the bitterness she had when she saw the portrait of us as well as the icy cold gaze both parties exchanged.I knew they lacked communication and both mates were the proud type, getting together too. Speaking with each other at night is the worst joke ever.All I did was pull out the part of his vision where Tania had rejected Derek's offer to be his mate.However, I find it hard to explain, or rather should I say I find it really funny how things keep falling into place.It's like fate is on my side and the moon goddess encourages me to keep it up, all my life everything had been fine against me, everyone had gone against me.But this time it's a different story, both Kyle and Tania decided to wear matching outfits while coming I heard Derek's heartbeat spike the moment he saw them, the look of bitterness forming real quickly on his face.I smiled ev
Tania's povThe pain seeps in faster than I can tell, my eyes meet with him and I could see a coldness in them.The affection for me is all gone, the sincerity I saw in them the day he had pleaded with me to follow him is all gone.I shift my gaze from him to the lady, she meets my face with such an innocent smile that makes my hatred for her skyrocket instantly."Good day, alpha Kai, Luna Jenna, mister Kyle and miss Tania" he greets carefully and Courtesy."It's been a long journey I'd love to rest now," alpha Kai says with his voice sounding just cool as always." Wait, do you mind introducing who that woman is to us?" Jenna interrupts, the anger in her voice evident as ever.I can tell she's probably doing everything I ought to do but I'm too dumbfounded to speak."Sorry Luna Jenna, I should have done that at first, she is my woman, not my mate we all know that part but she's next to and even better than a mate, her name is Elena '' Derek explains causing a sore throat to occur.My
Tania's pov.I can swear it's about the 43rd time Kyle glanced at me, I'm beginning to feel weird and cramped with himI had argued about not caring if it were Derek's pack or not, but I insisted on going even when I knew the consequences.I had made him look like a bad person even when I knew he was only looking out for me.However, I had done all that thinking I would be left alone with Jenna and have a chance to relieve my fears, worries, and pains.It was a shock to me when I discovered that I'll have to rise with Kyle, after all, Jenna and her mates were both the alpha and Luna respectively.It's only proper that they share the same ride notwithstanding whatever ties I could have with them."Stop staring Kyle I'm feeling uncomfortable" I complain as I glance towards the window with my hands dipped in chips.I had no cravings for the chops which I had been munching on all through neither do I even know what the exact taste is.I just need something to graze my teeth across, my can
Tania's povGradually my nerves cool and calm on their own accord, and I feel my teeth return to their initial length.I seat up in bed with my eyes glued to the pillow, I had dug two long and huge holes in it.I hold my head tight with my eyes squinted like that of a drunkard, I feel a soreness in my throat and my body becomes weaker with each passing second.I fall hard onto the bed again waking wide awake but this time with my face up and turned towards the ceiling.I want air, I want to run free, I needed to feel nature. These days I can't help but feel confined.And yet again it's no one's fault, Jenna had checked in with me several times already, and each time she made a splint to get something outside.Maybe shop a little or have a dinner date with me, down from watching movies at the cinema to listening to an opera at a film house and many other things she always suggests odd things but I do not feel a necessity
Tania's povIt's been weeks of constant attempts to run off and yet each time something happens or someone messes it up and I'm found it caught up with I've been thinking to change strategy, it may even be direction, however, I've tried long and hard to think of the best way out of this and nothing seems to occur other than the fact that I have to be out of the pack grounds.Yet still, as much as I would love to get out of here I still can't risk being caught up in the web of rouges and getting killed in a gruesome manner.Somehow something makes me believe that my elder sister Tina must have something to do with it, I need an escape plan real quick but there seems to be no perfect excuse that would make me wander off the pack grounds all alone without an escort.I've missed Kyle, the whole pack seems to be empty without him I've been feeling lost and alone lately.Although Jenna does her best to keep me company but I can't
