"I was rejected, Derrick!" "I was also rejected, Anya!" Two childhood friends who went through thick and thin together in an abandoned orphanage tried to make ends meet. They were poor…very poor. During a reunion, fate finally smiled upon them or so they thought and they met their mates. But they were rejected instantly! Heartbroken, they found solace in each other's arms and promised to stick together as friends till the end. "I will protect you, Anya. We only have each other," Derrick said, both heartbroken. Just when their love began to blossom, a shocking but great news came. They were traced by two powerful billionaire families in the state. They were the children of this great alphas. Tragedy came when it was discovered that the Alphas were long sworn enemies and would stop at nothing to destroy their love. Now their exes are back to reclaim them by hook or by crook. They were rejected by them but accepted by their families. Will the rejected exes fail? What will happen to the two lovers? Will their love stand the tricks, traps and trial? Or will their love triumph over them?

It was their happiness and they truly deserved it. Invitations had been sent far and wide to neighboring clans who were glad to join them in this ceremony.Anya looked at herself in the mirror with a satisfied smile, her dress dazzled with a thousand diamond stones that shone brightly and were at the same time eye catchy. This was her dream dress and she was going to wed the man she has always loved."You look beautiful," Derrick said as he walked into the room gawking at her."You know you shouldn't see your bride before the ceremony." Anya teased but she knew quite well she wanted to see him before the ceremony."That shouldn't be our concern, all I know is that I'll be looking at my beautiful bride before our ceremony….. damn you're beautiful," Derrick said pecking her lips as he stared into her amber eyes that had onc
"I never thought I could be this happy in my entire life." Derek the alpha of the Richards clan shrieked in joy as he had just won a lottery. In a sense, he did win the lottery. "I never thought it would be this easy, they came in here by themselves." He laughed as he drank the beer in his hand, for a year he had thought of ways to bring down the two top rival feared by many other clans but here was the opportunity in front of him.He knew that the clans would be at their weak spot right now as their heirs were missing and they would be searching for them, the last thing that would come to their mind was preparing for war."Sir what is your command," Mark asked bowing on one knee waiting for Derek's command."I'm bloodthirsty right now and there's an opportunity to quench that thirst, let's finish them all." He told Mark standing up from where he sat and taking a large gulp of this beer as he walked to the window looking down at his clan members who had suffered because of the Zhukov
Derrick's father Harold paced around the room with worried eyes wondering where his son might be, if he went missing and was nowhere to be found that means he is doomed because he had no heir to pass the throne to. He had involved the police who were going to do a thorough search in finding his son, the guards weren't left out in the duty of finding his son either. Gabriel peeked inside the door with a conceited smile before walking in with a worried look. "There is still no sign of him." Gabriel reminded his brother of the already-known fact that had lingered in his mind, thinking about it made Harold bitter and pained. "I'm sure we will find him," Harold said positively, trying to brighten his already dampening hope that was lingering by a thread. "There is no doubt that he ran away," Gabriel told Harold, pausing and taking a look at his expression before he continued. "He thinks nothing of the privilege he has and is ready to through it all away, do you think such a person fits
Anya's povI picked up my phone sitting on the table beside me dialing Derrick's number hoping he would pick up his phone immediately, I needed to tell him I was leaving urgently."Hello?" I heard him reply at the other end."Derrick, how are you doing?" I asked standing in front of my mirror and packing my hair as I was getting ready to go out."I'm good and you? Did you find a way out?" Derrick asked curiously."Yes, and I hope it works out." I sighed still feeling nervous that I might get caught."Give me details about it." He said."I'll be going for some shopping so I'm hoping to use that opportunity to escape, I'll be leaving in a few hours and will meet you where we had planned to meet," I told him quickly as I heard footsteps in the hallways."Okay, that's fine." He replied."Someone's approaching my room I'll call you later," I told him and immediately ended the call.My door slowly opened and my parents walked into my room, my face scrunched into a frown as I looked at them
Gabriel's PovI gulped my wine, taking a whiff of the cigar in my hand letting the smoke through my nose. I turned to look at Miriah who was doing the same thing with his legs crossed with no care in the world."I have him in my clutches because I can give to him what he desires most…. Getting out of here." I told Micah who let out a chuckle. He was the only person I could trust and call a good friend. All my life I had felt empty but he was always there to make sure I was alright without judging me."Oh my friend, you are a lucky man, he wants to leave the throne willingly without you stressing a finger." Micah smiled as he took another sip of his wine.I smiled to myself imagining how I would look sitting on the throne with my head up high…. Fascinating. There would be nothing even my brother could do about it. He was old from battles and getting weaker with the stress of administration. Dealing with him would be quite an easy task that I could ever imagine."My brother has increase
Derrick pov I saw Anya's missed calls and tried to dial her number but saw her call again and received it. I wondered what she wanted to tell me as I also had good news to tell her. I paced back and forth around my room excitedly, wanting to spill the news."Hello." I heard her say from the other end and a smile formed on my lips…." Why haven't you been picking up?" She asked like she was about to cry."Sorry, I had left it in the room…. I have good news to tell you." I told her and paused to know if I could go on."Okay." She said almost excitedly "Our plan to escape would work out sooner than we expected," I told her and she squealed in excitement making my heart beat in excitement…. I loved when she was always happy, it made me happy too."That's great, we need to do it fast and most importantly it has to be successful…. Carter's parents are coming over today and there's no doubt they would want us to get married sooner." She explained to me and I curled my fist in anger as I let
ANYA POV I sat down with worried-filled eyes as I thought of a way to escape from here. I was a prisoner in my home right now, and trust me it was the worst thing that could happen to me. I tried to be optimistic about my situation even when the odds aren't on my side.I heard a knock on my door and turned to see my maid Ashley, who my parents had assigned to me after Mira left. I had tried talking her into helping me out but declined without pity. She was stern in her will to forever listen to my father's orders rather than my plea for help."Good morning, your highness." She bowed. "Your father has sent for you." She added as I let out a stressed sigh.The only reason why she would come at this time of the morning is that my parents must have sent for me and I knew that they were both going to darken my mood as that was what they enjoyed doing the most."Tell him I'm sick," I told her, trying to prove stubborn even when I knew I would still meet him. Mila frowned at me, not showing
Anya zhukouHowever, the whole of my life would only continually take a turn till the very end. Staring down at the same file in my hands, one I held since Mira came and left.My head, banging with ache as I frowned, the same way my knuckles that turned white.. I sighed.Twenty-five years ago, I never had to stay indoors because even I somehow enjoyed the bully and gossip that goes around whenever I am amidst the rest of my mate in the orphanage. It gave me a sense of want, that aura that I carried around at the time Judah was taking. I never had anything to fear except for Hayley whose hate for me wasn't even my concern. And there was Judah, my worse enemy.Still, I allowed myself feel, I allowed Derrick distract me from my thoughts. Where did that Anya disappear to? Why do I have to hide now, away from them? What changed..?I couldn't tell.The number of times I heard the door knock wasn't enough to pull me out if my thoughts. I continued fidgeting with my hand tapping on the file.
Gabriel PovIt's been months since everyone decided to leave the past behind. I pretended though. I wasn't satisfied without my revenge but I had to pretend to be filled with remorse. After all, it was all speculation.I watched in satisfaction as Derrick continued to take shots with a satisfied smile formed on his face. My plan was to break through his defenses because I know he was at his limit. Ever since the marriage was finalized between him and Hayley, he had been trying to act brave while shattering into pieces. This was the right time for me to strike. I smirked as I noticed Derrick was visibly getting drunk. He kept a straight face and was playing with his hair as we sat quietly for close to five minutes."Why are you helping me?" He asked boldly, his stare looking like daggers. I swallowed hard, careful not to let anything spill accidentally. I shook in surprise because I hadn't expected that question from a drunk person, nevertheless, I had prepared himself for any of suc
Pov: Anya Zhukov It has been more than a year since I left the orphanage. Life has been impossibly difficult since then which was as expected. How I had been able to survive for that long on my own was beyond me. But then I wasn't on my own. Derrick had been there for me through it all. He was the only friend I had in the entire world. Our bond had survived through the harshness of the orphanage and even now it was still strong.“Shouldn't you be getting ready for your shift? I don’t pay you to stare into space all day, yunno.” Maxwell spoke from the kitchen doorway.You don't pay me enough to listen to your annoying voice, I thought bitterly.“In a sec.” I sighed.I adjusted my T-shirt and tried to pull down my skirt enough to hide my creamy skin. Maxwell undoubtedly had crooked intentions for picking a skirt so short it was impossible to cover up my ass.I took a minute to breathe and tell myself it was all going to be okay before walking out to do my job. Some hours later, my mood...
