ANYALydia had a happy smile on her face when Derrick said this. "Yes, Derrick. Angela really needs to be put in her place, or else she will think that she can walk all over everyone. I have told Anya this over and over again but she refuses to listen to me. It's not like it's her fault that she's better at studying than her. Why does she have to take out her anger on Anya?" Lydia asked Derrick. Derrick smiled. "she has always been like that. She's always been very competitive. When she sees someone who's better than her, she tries to do everything to prove that she's better than that person. She's been like that since she was young and almost everyone ends up giving in to her. It's a good thing you refuse to let her walk all over you," Derrick said.I frowned at this. "Have you known her for a long time?" I asked Derrick. Derrick nodded his head. "Yes. Our families are close, and we grew up together. So I guess you can say I've known her for my whole life? I know that her parents
ANYA"And what exactly have you done?" Kern asked me. I sighed. "Do you really need me to spell it out for you?" I asked. "Yes because I don't understand. I don't understand why you're blaming yourself when you're the most affected one. You didn't do anything so why is it your fault?" He asked me. "It's my fault because I was the one who broke you guys up! I was the one who caused three of you to grow apart from each other! It's all my fault. You were all close Brothers before I showed up but immediately I did, it all went south. You and Abel used to get along with Andrei so well. So much that you told him everything. I know that you've always had each other's back since your parents died but immediately I showed up, it all changed. You don't talk to each other anymore and it's just like....I don't even know how to explain it at all! It's all my fault! Maybe if I had not shown up, then it wouldn't be like this!" I said. "Don't blame yourself for what you have no control over! You
ANDREII looked at the faces of all the Elders who were kneeling on the ground and begging. I didn't feel sorry for any of them because I knew that they deserved it. "Don't push all the blame on Elder John. He may have been the one who started it, but all of you went along with it. You also wanted me gone because you never accepted me as the Alpha. You thought I was too young and you didn't want to be under the command of a wolf you considered younger and weaker than you!" I said. When horrific looks flashed past their faces, I knew that I had told the truth. I had always known that the Elders were dissatisfied with me. They never thought I was good enough to lead them because I was really young when I became the Alpha. My dad had just died, and I was barely sixteen. All of them were waiting for me to make a mistake so they could kick me out, but I never made a mistake. They all forgot I was no longer the young kid I was back then. "No, Your Highness. We never thought that you we
ANDREI I looked at Abel. He could not be serious right now. Was he really asking about Anya? With that look in his eyes? Did he not care about the fact that she was my mate? "What did you say?" I asked him "I asked him if Kern found Anya yet? Did he contact you?" He asked me again. There was no guilt on his face. "You do realize she's my mate Right? Why do you want to know about my mate?!" I asked him rudely. "Don't pretend as if you don't know what's going on Andrei. It's just old. She's also my mate too. She already admitted she could feel the mate bond between us. Besides, you have never cared about her and you've never treated her as your mate before. Why do you suddenly care about her now?" Abel asked me. I lost my temper at this. "who said I never cared about her? She's my mate so of course I do care about her!" I said. "But you never showed her that you cared! You acted as if she was your enemy! Even if you don't want her as your mate, you
KERNI made sure to look at Anya's face as I said this. I wanted her to think I was telling the truth. But the truth was, I didn't think that I'd ever be able to get over my feelings for her..I did love her. It hurt me to see her with Abel, knowing that she'd love him as much as he loved her and that I'd never be the one getting those feelings from her. I didn't think the pain would ever get better or that I'd ever get over it. I couldn't turn my feelings for her off and on the way I wanted anyway. I just felt that I would have gotten better at hiding in front of her. But I did not want her to know any of that. I just wanted her not to be burdened by the feelings I had for her. "Is that so?" Anya finally asked me. There was some skepticism in her eyes but at least she did not call me out for lying immediately. "Of course. I think...I am going to get over it soon. The friendship I have with you matters more to me than anything else. I will not throw it away for anything else in t
ANYAShe immediately shook her head when I said this. Of course, she did not want to go back. "So, don't worry about it. Just focus on your school since that is what you want to do!" I said. "Are you sure they are both going to be fine?" She asked me. "Yes. I am sure!" I said. I looked outside. "Do you want me to walk you back to your class?" I asked her. She looked outside thoughtfully. Then she shook her head in the negative. "No. So many things happened today. I think I am just going to go back to my room to sleep!" She said to me. I looked at her suspiciously. Her conversation with her friends when I got there flashed past my mind. I could pick up that they were talking about someone called Angela. Was there someone giving her trouble in school?"Is there someone giving you trouble in school?" I asked her. Anya looked at me with shock in her eyes. But then she shook her head immediately. "No, there's no one giving me trouble. Why would you think that?" She asked me. "A
ABELI blinked my eyes in shock when I heard this from Kern. "What did you say?" I asked him in shock. "I said I am going to transfer to Anya's school. I need to get back to college anyway. I have been away from school for too long. I need to get back to school anyway I will just go to hers!" he said. "But why do you need to go to her school? You can go back to your old college!" I said. I didn't want Kern in the same school as Anya. I already had a lot of competition with Andrei when it came to Anya. He was her first mate after all. I didn't want Kern jumping in on that. If he went to the same school with her, he'd be spending a lot of time with her. I didn't want that to happen. I wanted him as far away from her as possible. "I think Anya may be getting bullied in school. I overheard her and her friend talking about someone. She told me it was nothing but I don't believe it. You know Anya, she won't say anything if anyone is actually picking on her. She's going to keep it to
ANYAI was lying on the bed when the door was pushed open, and Lydia entered the room. "You're back?" She asked me in shock. "Yeah. I've been back for some time. So many times have happened today, and I didn't want to have to deal with Angela anymore for today, so I decided to avoid classes!" I said to her. "Oh," Lydia said with a disappointed look on her face. "I thought you would spend the entire day with him!" She said. "Spend the entire day with who?" "Who else? Of course the guy who came to see you! Isn't his name Kern? You didn't come back to classes, so I just assumed you were with him," Lydia said. I shook my head at her. "You really need to stop overthinking," I said to her. "I am not the one who's overthinking. You, on the other hand, are the one who seems to be surrounded by so many handsome men wherever you go. We aren't even done talking about Derrick, who's definitely into you, yet there's this hot guy Kern! How do you do it? You need to give me some tips!" She s
