Derek’s povHer lips wouldn't let me concentrate on the book I was reading to her. Its full fleshy succulent self sent several signals to my head, at some intervals I had missaid some words. Placing my hands on them made me want to suck them, it made me want to kiss her really badly, I didn't know a girl's lips could be that attractive my whole life. I had met with several girls, so many high-class princesses, daughters of very influential people in the country. Stella was the closest to my heart, I had thought she was my mate, as she made me do things I knew I would not do for anyone... The day she finally let me kiss her after we had gone on several dates, I could feel my heart miss from my chest. It was heavenly, but things went sour with us when I found out she was already betrothed to another man she was already in love with. She had taken me as leverage from her boyfriend, he was probably hurting her emotionally and she needed someone she would
Tania's POV I could have sworn I heard loud growls and crashing, but yet very lazy to get up. The growls increased, and I heard screams, I could not keep avoiding these sounds, something is surely happening. Lazily, I opened my eyes, and the alarm clock on me showed that it was just a few minutes past midnight. Getting off the sweet comfort of the bed and I walked to the window, it was really messy. What had happened? It couldn't have been bad weather cause the sky is as it should be by this time, why are properties destroyed? Oh no! Shit, what's that? Blood??? Whose blood?? What had happened? I went back to bed, it's probably something Alpha would handle in the morning, I shouldn't be too worried but why am I feeling so restless, I got up again, and poured myself a glass of water "this should help me stay calm" I muttered to myself. Taking a deep breath I laid down again, I was a bit calm, shut my eyes again slowly drifting to sleep, and then I heard it. That loud gr
Tania's POV "You mean it?" He asked excitedly "you would stay here with me, I didn't think you would agree to it, should we go to bed right now or should I get something for you?""No Alpha, I'm good, I don't need anything" I muttered. Holding my hands, he led me to his master-sized bed, and tucked me into one side of the bed, although I felt really uncomfortable letting him do this, I let him cause in a way, it made me feel special having someone treat me this way after all I had experienced in my previous pack. I felt the other side of the bed go down, it was obvious he was already down with me. What was I thinking when I said yes to this arrangement, sleeping with the Alpha on his bed, in his room? I didn't know it would be this awkward. "Why are you always thinking? If you talk the way you think you'll be talkative" he teased me. His hands moved in the blanket in search of something, I shuddered when his cold hands touched mine, and he held my hands. "I'm not
Tania’s pov. He sat me on his bed, wrapped his hands into mine, then continued talking. He spoke so extensively and intellectually, it aroused my curiosity about its Apex, He told me how werewolves could shift forms, mostly when the moon was full and bright at night, he told me some of them should shift forms whenever they liked. He started to tell me stories, he spoke about the fearless werewolves that had fought in previous times, and how they had made the werewolves formidable. He told me there were several werewolf packs but his own was the strongest. He boasted how he had accumulated fame and dominance by defeating so many rogues in the past wars they had gone to. He said many packs had gone extinct after the war. .I wouldn't stop staring at him while he spoke, he spoke with so much magnificence, I felt glued to him, I wouldn't ever want him to stop talking.I wished he could tell me the details of the war, how his sword pierced through the hearts of the
Tania’s PovHis hands travelled around my body, each touch creating sparks that doubled the feel of his lips on mine. I had never felt the way I was feeling that moment, my grip on his waist deepened, and I loosened my tongue so his tongue would find its way even deeper into my mouth. My maid brain kept reminding me I was kissing the Alpha, my heart told me to hold his head and kiss him even deeper. He grabbed my ass firmly, causing my body to jolt in excitement, I wanted his hands on my bare ass and not against the fabrics of my cloth. Something started to grow inside of me,I could feel my whole body burn, I couldn't tell it was desire or not, but I was no longer comfortable , I felt this insatiable desire for him, one that left me unease. The kiss was great, his tongue tasted like berries, the ones planted at the later south of the castle, the one Emma had given me when we strolled the castle the other evening, the one that had turn my favorite fruit. I couldn'
Derek’s POV I almost revealed to her, I really don't want to hide it from her, my wolf wanted to mark her badly. I stared at my mate who was not even aware that she is mated to me. I don't know how long I can keep my wolf from claiming and marking her, I'll have to let her know about it soon. Right now, the right thing to do is to find out everything about her, marking her would automatically put her as the Luna of the pack and I can't present a Luna I barely know to the pack, it would be difficult getting her to talk about herself, with all she faced in her former pack she's too reserved and Introverted unlike other female werewolves. That's true, I don't even know how she looks when she shifts to her wolf. Oh moon goddess, what did I do to deserve a mate this broken. "I would always be your close friend " I said gently She looked at me with doubtfully, my wolf purred with sadness, we hated that look she gave. What was I thinking saying that to her? After the
Tania's pov. I touched the marble tiles of the bathroom, everything was perfect in this castle, the neatness of the white tiled floor, the serenity of the bathing tub, the constant influx of water, everything was available. Even when I swept the stairs and mopped the sitting room, I had always felt it was a waste of time and energy, the house was in its magnificence big and beautiful, also clean too. I picked up the bucket of water I had carried, so I would clean the marble tiles, if for anything, to make them sparkle. When I got close to the marble walls I noticed something, the walls were designed, there were little star designs on the wall, golden in color, I stood there in awe, how much would this place be worth, I wondered. I touched the tiles softly, as though if I went a little harder I would destroy the wonderful work of art. Having felt the beauty on my fingers, I picked up the sponge to clean the walls, so the stars could be more visible, and so they w
Tania's POV I sighed, he has been caring and really good to me, it would be unfair if I kept keeping him in the dark. Would it be worth it? Telling him all that had happened to me, opening up the wounds that had closed and left only with scars. This would be the first time I would be opening up to someone else, Alpha Derek is the first person to care about me for real, not even my parents care about me the way he does. "I'm sorry I didn't open up " I started "I've grown to be a secretive person " I looked at him and he urged me lovingly "I'm ready to listen, I won't judge, don't hold back, tell me everything, " He said in the most soothing voice, I got lost for a while, his voice had a way of making me lose my self a bit "Tania?" He stared at me with a questioning look "I'm waiting, I don't want to rush you, if you feel you can't share it with me, if you don't trust me, then it's fine, I would be here to listen to you anyway" What am I doing to him? he's been good to
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
