Maya POV Twenty-five years ago, according to how it was rumored around my birth; it was noted that a war broke out. A war that made both humans, werewolves and even crops to feel the impacts of how strong it was.Then, I was literally just four; with apparently no mindset of my own. Losing my Dad to the war that swallowed him raw, my world all came to a crash when few years later, my mother called sick. I am just like every other ordinary shewolf with obviously nothing.Around that period of my mother's illness, I came across Gabriel Moore, a man that lived up to his name, our Alpha's brother. He rendered help, making sure to check the bills till my mother got and completed her treatment. He changed my life but that was in some years back when she ended up dead.I can't do it.Even when I knew I promised to pay back in one way or the other, I clearly can't be a mole and be kept in between.It's absorb, absolutely wrong in every way.Though, he was still going to pay me, it was in a j
MayaI never believed what I heard after all of the show that happened. Apart from the butler and I that witnessed the scene, every other maid was sent to their quarter. It was an impression I never thought I would witness. Well, I was just a common person and I have never truly encounter quarrels between royals.Honestly, from a point of view, I think the Princess was very rude to her parents but then it was heartbreaking to be a pawn. I know the feeling. At some certain point, I turned off the recorder as it would be for my own good, to know what truly happened and to stop thinking the Zhukov's are at fault. I strongly believe there must be some hidden truths. It did make a lot of sense; knowing I was sent as a mole to keep track but after everything was revealed, it turned out that I was wrong about the Zhukov's.The room given to me was much bigger than the one I had at home. With nobody to talk to…just myself. This one can be divided in five to get the size of my room, well..
Hayley ArresA rejection like that isn't what I expected; it was a show I would never want to participate in… never again.Anger..!!I felt it, the rush, the need to just run my fist through. Why?Does it have to be Anya? What's with her? Aren't I better?A lot of thoughts, both the questions and answers, all in my head, they felt like a time bomb.I, Hayley Arres… never have I ever been rejected. If this was how it felt, well, it's enough to pull the strings of one's thinking. I felt used, with my eyes wide open, I couldn't help it. His parents liked me; I felt at peace even when I knew it was just a pretense. The luxury I saw and ones I touched was just a mind-blowing outcome of wanting to try.Not anymore..!!It's my rightful position to be the next Luna of the clan. If I hadn't pushed him away then, I could have just dragged him closer.. tell me, who's Anya?She has always been my rival.. almost in everything, only that.. I was well known while she'd just hide.Now I think it's
CHAPTER 31Derrick MooreDown there I almost collapsed of anger, the very kind that was brewing in me.It's a different thing to know that you're separated from your mate; all in the name of making things right when clearly, nothing can and would be right about our situation.The issue of twenty-five years ago would continue trying to break us as it was seen that whenever there's a little improvement between Anya and I, more forces kept coming.How did they try to set me up with Hayley? What does the damned fucking asshole expect? That I'd accept her back because she once used to be my mate?We're all tied, tied to the same tree, nobody wanting to give up. If only the reunion never happened that night..!!If only I had followed Anya's wish and just didn't bother about some stupid reunion that seems now to be the cause of all we are facing.Isn't it just enough? Enough that we are in some stupid bond that only breaks us?I felt useless at this point. My Anya can be somewhere for all I
Hayley ArresThe thoughts kept coming; taunting me to no end; the feeling I would have had clearly disrupted. Peace!How can I be when Anya is at it again?…Though, it makes perfect sense and obviously, I am the insane one between us both still I won't have it… not in my wildest dream.My nightmares started, Anya taking all that I have from me. First she was mated to Carter, fortunately he rejected her but now Derrick? I know I rejected him but I want him back at all cost! Fuck!I can't let her; I can't allow her to take what belongs to me. It's enough to see that I have no power around those men again due to my foolishness yet I am not giving up! The only piece of information that I was forever wanting and dying to hear was that of the Zhukov's.I wanted to know what they were thinking. I wanted to know if they are willing to accept Derrick. That would be my stepping stone. Standing in my room, my own private room, I needed to let off some steam. I can't find Carter anywhere so I
Anya zhukouThe incident I had with Maya; the part where I knew she was secretly recording was totally heart wrecking.The words of her mouth, the ones that once soothed my heart, were now nothing but blunt lies. How she met with her betrothed…, how she argued about orange smoothie?Though it was truly soothing like she said, really?I did take her as a sister; spending time with someone aside from Derrick. It felt calm and peaceful, only for it to be another form of warning that whoever she was recording clearly knows of myself and Derrick.How stupid can I be? To think all she said was just from her innocent mind.. consoling me? None of these bothered me, at least not until Nala spoke in my head."Don't you think something is off?" She had asked.In my lonely room where I let my thoughts go wild, the only place where I can make loose of myself without any concern in the world… I tried figuring it out and truly; like Nala said… it did form a puzzle..!!At the point where my eyes tur
Derrick MooreA new dawn to a new beginning, a day set aside to meet my mate. I missed her too much and I can't stay another day apart from her. Even when I was called for a meeting, I had to disagree. Meetings where nothing important to me or my mate would be discussed.It's long. I feel her… I need her. My wolf yearns for our mate and he can't stop purring, always in search of her. I needed to see her, to know how she's doing.A part of me sunk down at the thoughts of how worried she might have been for days. Without seeing or hearing from me… we had Sitting for more than an hour, finally, I dropped. My back, aching but it was worth it.Urgh!!My innermost self, spurring back to life as I smiled. We both missed her, want and need her. While she's our everything, it hurts to think we had been separated.Putting on a happy face, I strode out of my room and came face to face with my mother. I knew I was in for a long sermon but I don't have that time."You are wasting your time on h
Anya zhukouWe met at my former working place; the cafe where it all started from.I sat at a small round table, taking note of how hideous the place now looks. It made sense, my former employer.. passed the cafe down to his first son, living it in his care without control. Not so much of a difference between the werewolves and humans.Their inheritance was passed, but unlike us; they cause a lot of nuisance. While my people would just step down from a certain position, knowing that there's certainly no way for you to reject the offer, they tend to force their will on you.Urgh!!Sighing for the uptenth time, I wanted to see him. Waiting patiently for his intoxicating scent to raft through my brain. To tell him how much I missed him. But I was nervous…Nala wouldn't let me off her hook, also waiting for our mate.For the first half of the year, the troubles of twenty-five years ago, Maya, Hayley Arres, Carter… all of them. They all thought me in a way or two, opening my eyes to see
