ANYAAfter we had dinner, Abel, Kern, and I sat outside on the balcony as we looked at the stars. Kern was still a bit cold to both of us, but at least he was no longer ignoring us. I was at least grateful for that. However, I noticed that he had been trying to avoid my girls all night. I had no idea why he was doing that, and even though I badly wanted to ask him why, I did not ask him anything because I knew that you wouldn't answer me. He was going to make some kind of excuse. "What has been going on with you, Kern? You know that we can't keep doing this, right? If you have a problem you are dealing with, you have to let us know because you can't just keep doing this!" Abel said as he broke the awkward silence between us. I looked over at Kern when he said this. I didn't want to pressure him, but with how he had been acting, I knew I had to do something to get him to talk to me. I just wanted to see him talk to me again instead of always ignoring me. "I already said that not
ANYAThe next day, we all gathered outside on the balcony to watch the full moon. Kern seemed a lot better than he was a few days ago and that put me in a good mood. He was no longer ignoring us, and that was good enough for us. "What happened when you first got your wolf Kern? How did you feel?" I asked him. As we waited for the full moon, I wanted to say something to set the conversation going. Kern shrugged. "I don't remember it all that well, but I can remember being so nervous a few days before I got my wolf. I had heard that some people are late bloomers and they don't get their wolves on time, so I was worried that it was going to happen to me, too. However, when the full moon came out, I was among the first people to get my wolf, so I was very relieved. Plus, Abel and Andrei have been teaching me how to control my wolf if it comes out, so it wasn't a big day for me. How about you? how did your own transformation go?" Kern asked. I smiled as I remembered it. "I was among the
KERNI stood on the balcony as I watched Abel and Anya leave together. It was clear what the both of them would do when they got inside. My heart felt like it was breaking, and yet there was nothing I could do to stop the both of them from mating with each other. They were clearly attracted to each other and it seemed that the full moon had sealed a mate bond between them. I was hurt, but there was nothing that I could do about my feelings. I thought that I would be able to back away so that they could both be happy but I could not do it. I wanted Anya for myself. I wanted to be with her too. I went inside the house and almost went to Abel's room to stop them but I held myself back. I knew I probably wouldn't be able to do that. I might just end up making a fool of myself. I sighed and went back to my bedroom. I tried hard to fall asleep. No matter how hard I tried though, I couldn't sleep. I just lay there on the bed with my eyes open as I thought about all the times that I had
KERNI was in my room. I had no idea how much time had passed since I forced myself to walk away from Anya and Abel. I was just in my room, thinking about everything and nothing at all.My mind was a complete mess so I got some alcohol from the fridge and decided to drink my sorrows away. I thought that the alcohol was going to take away the pain I was feeling, but it did not. It just made it worse for me. I was more sober than ever as I drank, and the thought of Abel and Anya together continued to eat away at me. Why couldn't it just be me? I knew that I could be good for her. I could love her and treat her right. I could give her all the things that Andrei didn't give to her. So why didn't she pick me to fall in love with? Why did she have to choose Abel? Abel had always been cold and uninterested in everything. So how did she even fall for him? I was still drinking when my door was pushed open, and Abel walked in angrily."What the hell do you think you're doing right now?" He
ABELI was speechless. I had nothing to say to Kern at all. It had never crossed my mind that he would like Anya, too. I thought that he just saw her as a close friend only. "I don't understand you. How can you like Anya? I thought that the both of you were just good friends". I said. Kern shrugged. "It is just what it is. I have asked myself the same question over and over again. How could I fall in love with her? I guess that it is the same way that you ended up falling for her" Kern said. "So the reason why you have been so moody and why you have done your best to avoid her all this time is because you are in love with her?" I questioned. Kern gave me an obvious look. "At first, I thought that it would never be possible between us since she was Andrei's mate, and I tried to make myself forget about it by staying away from her, but then I found out that she did like you even when she was still mated to Andrei. I was furious when I found out about that. Since she could fall in lo
ANYAI walked as fast as I could from Kern's room. My heart was beating fast against my chest just thinking about what I had heard. How could he like me? It just did not make any sense at all. I rushed to my room and was about to shut the door when a hand-held it, stopping me from closing it. I looked at Abel, who had a worried look on his face. "Are you okay?" He asked me. I shook my head. "I just want to be left alone for now....we are going to talk later," I informed him. How could he expect me to be happy after what I had just heard? "I think we need to talk about this ...you don't need to let his feelings for you affect you ...you didn't do anything wrong as you can't control his feelings. Besides, I don't think that he has feelings for you. He's just confused now. He will see that all of this is in his head when he's calmed down. You can't let him affect you!" Abel said to me.I shook my head. I knew that he was saying this to make me feel better. "I am not stupid, Abel. I
ANDREI"You are saying that the three of them are in the human world? In Kern's villa?" I asked. There was a cold and calculated look in my eyes. I had tolerated Abel and Anya enough. I am done putting up with them. "Yes. They are in his villa. It was hard to find them since it was located on the city's outskirts," the guard reporting to me said. "And, why did I not know about this villa that Kern bought?" I asked. I knew all of my brothers' properties since they had never really had to hide it from me. And I checked all of them but couldn't find them."That is because he hid it well, Your Highness. He had just bought it," the guard said. I smirked to myself. So they were even hiding things away from me now? "They've been away for too long. I think it's time for my brother and mate to return home.".....I arrived at the villa that they were supposedly living in. It was quite big. I didn't bother to ring the bell because I didn't want them shutting the door in my face. I walked
ANYAMy heart sank to my stomach when I saw Abel punch Andrei back. The both of them would get into a fight, and it'd be my fault. No matter how many times Abel told me that everything happening was not my fault, I knew that it was. They had all had a good relationship before I showed up in their lives. Now Kern had pulled away from his brothers because of his feelings for me and Abel and Andrei were in a fight. I looked over at Andrei and saw that he had already grabbed Abel when I was lost in my thoughts..I screamed and got in the middle of them. "What are you doing?! Stop it right now!". I yelled. Abel looked at me. "You don't need to stop him, Anya. Please stay away from it. No matter what, I won't let him touch you!" he said. "You are worried about him? Do you want to protect him? Have you forgotten who your mate is?" Andrei asked as he sneered at me. "She won't be your mate for long! You've done your best to make her life horrible! Even when she ran away, you still found
