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
Tania's povI could hear faint steps approach me, the rustling of metals as well as faint whispers.The noise stops at once as I feel a sudden gust of wind brush past me,I split open my eyes only to be engulfed in total darkness, the faint steps increasing and approaching me faster.I feel a tingling across my skin causing me to freeze instantly, memories of the attack in the woods flood my head causing me to panic more.I feel a soft sensation on my skin as icy thick fingers press against my skin causing me to scream in fright."Calm down, miss it's fine you are safe here" the voice of a young man came reverberating all through the room.I feel the hand press me closer to its body as the sudden warmth gushes over me "Stay calm, you are safe here" the reassuring words are spurred out causing me to relax once more.Slowly I see faint traces of light as a bundle is raised off my eyes."I'm sorry it's my bad, you kept moving in your sleep and I felt the light rays were a problem which i
Tania's pov.Jenna would not cut the crap about Kai's brother taking me out on a date and him being a straightforward person.I could feel my brain sense about to explode at her constant blabbing which was funny and strange to me.There are sides to Jenna never knew existed and it's fun seeing them now."I'm going on no date Jenna, let him do whatever he wants to but if he thinks I Tania would go on a date with that psycho then I must be insane as well."I do not wait for a response before walking back to bed and laying in it, my body needs lots of rest and I'm surely going to give it what it wants.The door pushes open all of a sudden only for me to lock eyes with Kyle the psychopath."I changed my mind let's go now," Kyle says dashing into the room and towards the bed."What was that? You can't just expect me to walk towards the door with you like a loyal dog or a robot programmed to listen to you.Young Man, I have no interest in whatever games you seem to be playing" I find it fun
Tania‘s POV Frightened at who was at the door I disengaged from the kiss, utterly embarrassed about what I had done."Oh I had no idea I was interrupting something '' Alpha Kai says with his hands in the air."No brother you weren't interrupting anything" Kyle liedI felt a pang of pain hit me on hearing Kyle's words, he denied it too quickly without batting an eyelash notwithstanding the fact that I was seated right before him.He tucks his hands back into his pants and moves away from me towards her brother before glancing at my way.His face is void of emotions as he turns back to face his brother."What brought you here anyways?" Kyle asks, discarding any arising conversation about what had happened between us just now."I had heard you gave up your room for someone that got me curious and just a few seconds later Jenn came whining to me that you won't let her friend be.I had to save the girl from torture but I see you have it all under control" alpha Kai says jokingly causing me
Tania's pov.My feets seemed to be rooted and my neck was stiff as my eyes were fixed on the ground."Welcome Tania" kai's voice calls out to me with a strange cough that accompanied it.I felt my eyes move on their own accord Toward Kyle who had a confused look on his face.Just then I realized how I had made such a fool of myself, I had dashed into the room chasing after Jenna who knew what was behind these doors only for me to find the whole family sitting around the wide and long table.Seated by the table were Kai, Jenna, and Kyle as well as some other servants that were tending to the food and the family.There were also some people scattered across the room but in an orderly manner which made me squint my eyes.Judging by their manner of dressing I draw a quick conclusion that they just are the security team.I know Jenna had said something about the security being tightened but I had never for once imagined that it would have anything to do with guards standing at the dining ha
Tania's pov.I approach him slowly however he doesn't budge, rather he seemed oblivious to my being around."Kyle?" I call out to him once again this time more determined than ever to get word from him.Pissed at his nonchalance I moved away from his palms which had been covering his face all along.I move away from him in shock as I see his eyes having an inner Battle.The color of his eyes changes from his normal blue to a deep brown and vice versa at intervals."Are you okay Kyle?" I am unsure what to do and totally confused at the turn of events.Kyle stands to his feet with his eyes now stable to the deep brown."Kyle, are you there? Can you hear me?" I called out to him, fear gripped that his wolf had taken over.Now I feel totally vulnerable and totally defenseless, Jenna would not come after me thinking I deserved some personal time with Kyle and no one else would know I'm here."Kyle?" I call out once more raging earnestly to the moon goddess that someone walks in somehow.I f
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
