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
DEREK'S POV.I slammed my hands fiercely at the iron rods of the dungeon.I had been semiconscious, but of course, I could sense my surroundings.Different thoughts were racing through my mind. Thoughts about one person... Tania.Anger coursed through my being. I was angry... Angry at myself, and at Tania. Angry at the cursed people who put me and the others here.'Fuck them.' I cursed at them inwardly."Are you alright?" A voice as smooth as silk interrupted my thoughts.I looked up sharply. I knew who the owner is of the voice was of course. Tania!What happened? Wasn't she also captured too?I was about to respond when I sighted two people behind her.I clenched my fists angrily and my veins bobbed through my neck.That bastard! What was his name again? Ryan!I closed up my face. It was Derek... I wasn't going to let them know they got through to me.I focused my gaze on Tania. She was looking at me with tear-soaked cheeks. Her eyes were reddened, and she sniffed. I could see she wa
TANIA'S POV.I could feel the so familiar hotness coursing through my being. I knew I had to suppress the urge.A tribid's wrath wasn't something to behold. But it wasn't my fault, was it?I watched her, as her face crumpled up. She should contemplate all she wanted... That was her business.All I knew was that I wasn't going to hold hostage against my wish. Most important of all, I wasn't going to allow Derek to go away. If he was leaving, I was leaving too. And if the reverse was the case, then I was going to follow him.I breathed hot air through my nostrils and watched her closely.Ryan watched our exchange. However, I knew too well that he was trying to suppress his urge to lash out at me. Say hurtful words to me.The truth about me being a tribrid came so suddenly, that even I was overwhelmed by the weighty consequence of it."Are you sure about your decision? It may affect you. Consider what would happen if you unintentionally hurt the ones around you, as a result of your being
Alpha Derek's POV I looked at her face with a heartbroken expression, plastered on my face.We were back at the pack house now.I was trying to avoid giving an answer to the question she had asked me on our way down here.My eyes roamed over her body, and my heart clenched in pain. Why were bruises all over her body? No, the question would be,Why was she trying to kill herself? I glanced at her bruises again and sighed.It was almost like a patterned design on her body. I was doubly sure that Tania had wounds on the parts of her body which were hidden by her clothes.I drew closer to her,"Tania.... Are you in pain?" I questioned, although I knew my question sounded silly.Why would a person covered in bruises not be in pain?Wouldn't that be ridiculous?I expected her to answer me, but she avoided my gaze and looked through the window."Tania, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for the way I acted back there. I just-" I paused when she moved away from me.I made to get closer to her, but she pul
Tania‘s POV His words scared me, but I was too captivated by what he was doing to me to let the fear cripple me. I liked it, his touch on me as he slowly tried to remove my clothes, there on the bed. Is this the lesson he was talking about? We have done this before and it was pleasant and I would give anything to have him make love to him with his tongue again like the other day. But it was not new. This could not be the lesson. “Do you agree to do anything I want?” He asked again, his voice barely a whisper this time, sending dangerous sensations on my neckline. “Yes,” I nodded with it. I wanted to feel his hands and mouth on every part of my body, I craved it. I gave him the affirmation he wanted. And that seemed like all he needed to carry on with what he had in mind. Instead of me being afraid of the way he was looking at me as if he wanted to devour me, I wanted it. My whole body felt alive even with him just looking at me. His hands slowly held me up, so I
Derek's pov"This is just the beginning" I mutter in between breaths with my eyes feasting on her body.She shudders in delight expectant of what I'll do next, slowly I pull her up from her kneeling position till she is on her two feet standing tall."Did I hurt you, love?" I ask her in the deepest voice ever, her eyes sparkled with interest and it's obvious she wants more.I can feel my wolf so restless and ready to devour her right here and right now.Slowly she turns her head in a gesture that I had not hurt her, I graze my thumbs over her cheeks before pulling her closer.Without restraint, I smash my lips Into hers devouring her and tasting every possible corner.She doesn't resist me but intertwines her tongue with mine in a rhythm, we both taste ourselves hungrily as the intense desire and passion burn.I pull away from her before pulling her towards the mirror stand, I push her back against the cupboard as she sits on it,She arches her back in pleasure as I trace my fingers a
Derek's pov.I storm into the room with my mind really disrupted, different thoughts swarm in and out of my mind but I choose not to agree… Not yet.Although the circumstances seem to be true but I'd listen to what she has to say first,I can't believe Ava's words just like that.Deep within me something tells me it might be the truth, I know Ava to be the jealous one but she won't dare lie to the alpha of a pack.Without warning I push open the door to see Tiana already dressed and seating up on the bed.I scan through her for a second only for my doubts to increase, she looks too sweet, too innocent, too naive to be real."I searched around for you, I couldn't find you which is why I decided to wait till you came back" Tania said with her voice sounding so easy and cool."Tell me Tania, who are your parents and why is your connection to the ring" I ask with my eyes glued to hers.Panic, it's the first thing I noticed and immediately I asked she darted her eyes away from mine."Speak n
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
