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
ANDREII woke up the next day angry. I could not shake off the anger I was feeling. Abel had the guts to have sex with Anya! But even more annoying was that she felt a mate bond with Abel too. I knew for sure that she was still my mate. I could feel the mate bond with her. She admitted that she could feel the mate bond with me, too. So why did she feel a mate bond with Abel? Was it possible for her to have two mates at the same time? And why did it have to be Abel?!.I had a lot of questions going on in my head but no answers to them. I got up from the bed and took a quick bath. Then I got dressed and left the bedrooms I slept in. I went to Anya's room. I wanted to talk to her and determine what we would do about the situation. I knew that I wouldn't be able to share her with anyone. Not even when that person was my brother, she was mine. And I wouldn't be sharing her.When I got to her room, I saw the door open. I pushed it open and went inside. Abel and Kern were inside the bedr
ANDREI"Just what is the meaning of this? What gave all of you the idea that I don't want her as my mate?" I asked. I wasn't expecting an answer, but Abel gave me one. "Do you not know why?. When have you ever treated her as your mate? You treated her as if you couldn't stand her presence at all! Of course, anyone will think that you can't stand her! She decided to leave because of you! Remember that!" Abel said..I felt uncomfortable when Abel said this. Was it my fault?"She said that she left because she wanted to figure out what to do with her life," I said weakly. Even as I said this, I did not believe it. "Do you believe that? She did not see the need to do that before, but when you immediately showed up, she decided that she wanted to leave!" Abel said. Kern sighed and sat on her bed. "This is her fault...I should not have said anything yesterday...I made her feel pressured," he muttered to himself.Abel looked over to Kern and sighed. "You don't need to blame yourself. Y
