Derick Moore
It has just been a few hours since I separated from Anya, the feelings becoming a turmoil for me to bear.
After she told me of the pack's war, I was enraged. It was a different thing to hear that your mate rejected you and another, a pain in the ass to know that there were going to be some forces that would want to keep you away from the one person you love.
It was taking all of my willpower to not answer her calls. If I was left alone without my wolf, I would have just turned back to her, in her waiting arms.
I arrived at the house, the double of Anya's biological parents. The exterior was looking magnificent in every aspect of its joint.
I wasn't even minding the looks on the faces of the souls around me. To hell with their looks; I came here for business.
"You are here!" A middle aged man curtseyed.
I could tell of the familiar looks he was giving me but I wasn't one bit concerned. I need to get back to my girl.
The old man took me in, sending me through another wave of shock that I was keeping at bay. The interior of the house was nothing like the normal. It screamed wealth.
He led me to the sofa in the massive living room, where warm coziness was coming from the fireplace.
I took my time to check around while at the same time, texting a message to my beloved.
Few minutes later, much after I was becoming comfortable but still infuriated, a younger woman stepped out. I would not want you to be deceived by how young she was looking. It's within all werewolves to look young when they are old.
I watched how she rushed down to where I was seated, looking eager.
She tore the part of my shirt that had the mark of ' N ' in my body, allowing the coldness of her hands meet with my own.
Gasping, she moved back, looking like she had seen a ghost. Her beautiful features turned pale yet surprisingly, she still looked stunning. But she looked fragile.
"Y- you're.." her soft voice trailing off as she tried controlling her breath.
Damn… I was becoming tired of her drama.
"Der-derick!!" She exclaimed, a tear slipping from her eyes. I was already hating the situation.
First was the way she had thorn my clothes, now her tears. Too much of emotions from her was killing me. The thing was I don't feel an ounce of love or pity towards her.
She left me to die, right? Then why all these emotions?
"What happened at Shaynes Bradford's memorial orphanage?" She asked, her voice becoming weaker.
"Don't you think you should explain why you.had put me there in the first place?" I thundered. Surprising myself at how calm I was even when I just wanted to stand up and leave the fucking place.
She gave the old man that I presumed was the butler, a look, allowing the man to bow before stepping out.
"Twenty- five years ago.." she started.
Telling me of all the shits that happened around my birth, the ones Anya was told of too. She went on to tell me how I was the only heir of the Nikolai clan; my pack.
I was kept in the living room alone, to reminisce on what I have heard, waiting for my alpha father.
It was then I knew how attached I was with Anya. If she was here with me, I would have been calm.
Filled with the feeling of talking to someone, I brought out my phone, not minding the situation and I called her.
The first ring was futile, same as the second and third. Frustrated as I was, I didn't have a choice; I had to wait to get it done.
"He is back, your father is back!!" I heard the soft voice calling.
Though, I.have discovered she is my mom, I couldn't bring myself to call her that; not yet.
If it weren't for the situations surrounding both Anya and myself, I wouldn't have been here.
The pangs of pain I was feeling with all of the explanations she just made, the fact that they were quick to stop looking for me! Everything was annoyingly frustrating.
"I have ears," I breathed, putting on a disgusted look. I don't care if she noticed or not.
By now, I had changed into something more nice, a more fitted top in exchange for the one I wore before. Remember, she tore the hell out of my shirt!
Standing up from where I was seated, I watched how the man that was said to be my father walked in. His graceful strides came in slow motion; I had to tilt my head to the back, to have a better view of him. When at last he noticed me, he stopped moving.
Looking back at his wife, my mom… he watched how she nodded her head in my direction. Now it has become scary. Why the hell would he stand as if I was a ghost?
Had he truly believed in the rumors that I was burnt down to death in the orphanage explosion? Is that the reason why they left to never come back?
I couldn't keep it in, I couldn't contain the anger; they were slipping out of me till I spoke up without thinking.
"What have you expected? That I would be dead as presumed?" I grinned; my voice filling the entire room.
My mouth hurts as well as my heart. I wanted to just tell them my mind. To leave as they have believed; never to come back.
Folding my hands in a tight fist and giving out a muffled breath, I smiled at them like I wasn't pained, whereas it was a different thing to my wolf.
I don't even know who was calming who; while my wolf wanted to go berserk, I wanted to just sit and watch somewhere in the background. While my human self wanted to create a scenario, my wolf would remind me of our mate. Anya. It all made sense. We were both scared of her reaction if we probably went insane.
Digging my hands in my silky hair, I gave out an exasperated sigh. It pained me to know that they thought less of me, which was much expected though.
"We need to talk!" I heard my long lost father say.
Really?
"I think we will talk when I bring my mate. The talks are really boring for someone who just met with his lost parents," I said.
Then I added rather snobbishly,"When you agree to meet her, we would have a proper talk".
Nodding at my request, they agreed I would bring Anya to them, not like they had a choice. I didn't bother meeting their gazes as I was out the door before they could say anymore.
Are they even really my parents?

The whole air was filled with joy and happiness as flowers were used to decorate the brightly lit wedding hall, it was finally the awaited time for Derrick and Anya. 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
