Tania's pov.I had panicked seeing the man whom I had long fallen for seated with his face turned to the door.I waited for an expression to form on his face but I got nothing, it was all blank apart from the little tilt which I had seen.I stood frozen with my eyes averted almost immediately after I saw him. I had been scared of him once and hoped for him to meet me twice.I had wished to explain it to him maybe just to get a chance to meet but none of it happened.Now that I feel the need to begin afresh I run into him.I can't seem to put the pieces together but if there's anything it's the fact that I'm broken.I had hoped that at least someone would be out searching for me but I guess I was wrong.I can see Marcel, Alex, and even Derek here which meant this is more important, I had thought that notwithstanding anything Derek would search for me.Maybe truly I had become dead to him like he claimed the last time we met. I had expected him to leap in joy or approach me but all he do
Tania's povI decide not to move nor show signs of any feebleness, instead, I stand tall fixed to a spot and unfazed.I would not let him perceive me as weak, not now not again, and not anymore, I'm done kissing up to him and acting up for him I'll just be who I really am."Tania, I can't keep this up anymore. I know I hurt you big time and I don't deserve a second chance but please come with me.You can visit Jenna later or this pack, in particular, any moment you want, I'll make no restrictions on your movement.I'll make sure you are the most protected person henceforth, I'm sorry I locked you up out of scorn, I'm sorry I let my anger get the best of me" Derek apologizes, unable to look straight up at me, I stead his eyes are glued to the floor."What do you want me to say?" I ask with my eyes glaring at him, moving away from him keeping a reasonable distance with my voice under string restraints to remain calm at all times."You left me there Derek, you left me there to die so do n
Jenna's pov.I could see kai's countenance change immediately but I decide to ignore it and push forward with my request notwithstanding."Can you do this for me love? If you do I promise never to go gallivanting around without your permission." I plead into his ears hoping it's enough to convince him."As much as I d do anything for you love I just can't this time, it's an alliance and it's not just me the whole pack is involved" Kai explains causing me to roll my eyes in frustration."What if I say I have tangible reasons? Like actual ones that would make you couple away from the alliance" I slur into His ears."What actual reasons? What are you up to this time?" Kai asks with his eyebrows raised to their corners.I move away from him thinking of the best way to put it, although I had promised Tiana but not anymore."It's Derek …""Jenna" a voice cuts through my words in a sense of alarm, I turn to check the direction of the voice as I see Tania’s approach is in haste."I have no. id
Tania's pov.Everything seems to feel right and fall in place, I could feel nature itself.I turned around amazed at the fact that I had actually shifted.Hearing the voice of my wolf after years makes me excited, however, I do not get the part about locking her in for years."What do you mean by I locked you in? I did nothing at all to you" I speak in defense of myself not wanting to have a wrong head start.Maybe she knows more than I do and could explain some fragments of my memory.She doesn't respond, instead, she moves steadily deeper into the woods leaving me to enjoy the feeling of having shifted."You locked me in that's all I know," she says with a snobbish tone which disappoints me.I had hoped she would know something or anything about the incident and hoped she would help put the pieces of my memory togetherFrom stories I had heard from people and those that I had seen with my very own eyes, one wolf tends to know everything and anything about the person.A wolf is like a
Tania's pov.My eyes dart around the room suspicious and extremely cautious afraid that someone might leap into the room from somewhere."Calm down Tania I told you and still reassuring you it's all fine no one will be able to do you any harm" Jenna reassures me again."Are you sure?" I ask her before relaxing into the bed, I could feel the pain in my side ease gently."I'm sure besides the security around the house had been tightened and everyone is on high alert,I do not think even as a rouge it would be so dumb to come in here and get killed. What I just do not understand is the part where you shifted.I was so scared at first that I could hardly tell that you were the injured wolf.I had reports that you went out of the pack grounds through the back walls, if it had been the front walls I would have been relaxed since it was still the pack grounds.However the back wall had a history as there is a boundary line between this town and another town,The neighboring town is rumored to
Derek's pov.It's been two days now everything seems too gloomy and irritating, everyone seems to be full and without life but most of all I have become plain and void of emotions."Hit him harder" I yell at the wolf renting out punishment to another wolf.After Tania had rejected my offer to help her and utterly embarrassed me I had no choice but to leave.I had called the attention of a wolf whom I saw lurking around, turns out she was a wolf which I helped long ago.It was nice seeing her but the circumstances were tight, she noticed my worry and asked about my situation.I explained it all to her and she offered to help me in return after all I had once saved her life.I pleaded with her to always have her eyes on Tania and report to me if anything odd goes on.The alliance went accordingly, we made a pledge and swore an oath to remain brothers for generations to come, it felt nice having a huge burden off my shoulders but other than that I felt nothing at all.It was a matter of s
Derek's pov.Just when I thought the worst had passed and I could see rays of light at the end of my dark tunnel I had to hear the news.I had long avoided having a Luna in the pack, the pack was growing weak without a loving figure there for themAlthough I had been trying to provide the love, comfort, and sympathy they needed it just wasn't enough, we are wolves, and having a Luna In the pack, a mother figure is what holds us tight."The council?" I asked again with my voice really in a high pitch, the fear evident on my face as I could feel my fingers and toes go numb and cold.My pack is a really strong one, my warriors are brave, my doctors are good, I have managed to form alliances with the best packs across the world, and being the alpha of such a pack I wield lots of power.It's been years since the council last reached out to me, the council is a body or rather an organization, best explained as a circle of really strong wolves that takes control into their hands when they oug
Derek's pov"I can see you are off to make a very silly mistake again just like you Almost did years ago""Silly? I won't call it that but I'd be more than happy to welcome the idea of you calling it a reckless move, the good day your highness Kita the second in command of the council"With my head bent slightly and my arms wide apart I make a courtesy as a manner of greeting her.Kita and one other council member had visited me years ago during my coronation.She was the one who told me about my mate being the weakness and strength of the pack,Seeing her here more makes me suspect something is off and about to go wrong."I've been watching you, Derek, for years now and the council is really proud of you, we see what you do, your triumphs, your losses, alliances, and the enemies you have.I must say you are a really smart one Derek, I see the manner in which you handled things, anything you did was a masterpiece.However, it all came crumbling down the moment you found your mate, the
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
