Cathleen DonavonFinally…After I talked to Gabriel, I knew there would be no turning back since I have been hiding under his wing's.My revenge has been stuck in my head, since like forever.I watched the Moore's rule the entire Nikolai, I watch how Nikolai's transformed, you'd never think it used to be ruled by the one man that made me barren. You'd never know that the Luna of the past years was killed by her mate, the Alpha of the clan.It transformed so much that I was having a hard time, but deeply, I know there's this one person that would never change.Gabriel..!He reminds me so much of his father, and just like his father, he is stupid enough to never back down. Why should I stop then..?If the clan fall under the wrong hands again, why should I let go..?Yes,Because Gabriel won't stop till he's become the Alpha, I won't stop till I end the history of Nikolai's. The Moore's have afterall ruled since far past twenty-five years ago.As I sipped from the glass of wine in my ha
Anya zhukouThe look on my face held nothing but horror.How did he..? When did he…?In my head, I couldn't think of anything more than he has been stalking us. The words that came from his mouth, they way he stared back at us, his smile and all… all of it was ruthless."C.. Carter..?" I called."He's Carter..?" Mira askedI nodded."Oh common, I should do the intro's myself." He stated smiling as he moved to where we stood rooted."You losed that right since I rejected you, remember..?" He asked."W..what do you want..?" I asked back.I watched him laugh historically, if I have not known him for years, I would have thought he's just another drunk human."W..why do you stalk us..?" I asked again, this time, my fist was already clenched.Having been through a lot my whole life, I learnt to be prepared mentally if not physically.This asshole, this bastard that rejected me alongside Hayley who called me a plaything.., I hate them.For what more would I want if not to make them rot in he
Derrick MooreThe rage I felt didn't make me reason about anything anymore. The fact that Hayley terminated her pregnancy, the fact that Anya was now in the middle of someplace.., I couldn't breathe.From the corners of my eyes, I watched how Gabriel stood, waiting for his favorite tool to awaken, he looked like he knows nothing about Anya and I could only wait for Judah to find her."Look for her, Judah…" I wanted to type again as my impatiens grew.Just why…?At the meeting, I saw how she reacted to every word. How she'd screech and silently groan beside me; it reminded me of the time we had no issues. No Gabriel, no Hayley, Carter nor Cathleen. It has always only been me by her aside and vice versa.I brought her into my world because I love her; because I am mated with her. To all the things I never expected to happen, I can only imagine how worse it would be if she's not found.My breathing hitched as I felt my lungs burn. For tte thousandths time, I raked my hands in my hair, se
Anya zhukouSince after the incident of meeting with Carter, I found myself not able to think. A different thing entirely when his words sunk in my head and was even deep rooted.I remained in my room all through, never stepping out.Not wanting to see the garden or anything, I drowned in his words, the meaning btheg held."And what would halo to Derrick..?" I remembered clearly how that question struck my being, making me imagine what I shouldn't. "What would happen to Derrick..?" I repeatedly asked myself.Over and over again as days turned into weeks, I couldn't be more disturbed as there was nothing else that could shake me more than my mate.I tried checking all sorts of outcome, I tried searching and thinking if what they could want or what Carter meant, not until I remembered the last part of it."You're his end point, Anya."Holy…!!I was creeping out.Was this what I wanted..? Or is it not me?All kinds of questions flooded my head I couldn't do anything.Maybe it was my fa
Hayley ArresIt felt good to know I wasn't dead, but even more good to know I still had a chance of making Anya lose. Yes,I couldn't cope anymore in her presence, the same way I could tell she's all Derrick thinks about.Since I woke up, since his last threat, I figured there's always going to be a way to make him mine, if not all of mine.As I crawled my way to the door, I heard my heartbeat accelerating. There was something behind the way it changed rhythm, for some some unknown reasons, I became scared.Alisha..!!!"You're awake.?" I heard her the moments I pushed back the thoughts of her in my head. What more could go wrong..?"Well.., I shouldn't stay in all day. It gives the clan a wrong idea," I smiled pretentiously as I welcomed her in."What idea do you think they are having..?" I heard her ask.I couldn't answer."Aren't you too quick to judge them then..? A Luna shouldn't judge too quickly, she might judge wrong." Alisha stated.I stared at her in disbelief as I grew unco
Derrick MooreFor a moment in my life, I felt the gush of wind that sent shivers in my spine when Judah notified me that he wasn't with Anya nor Mira.The fact that Hayley woke up after we had gathered to talk about it, the fact that I knew Cathleen wouldn't want to lay low anymore…., Yet my mate, my Anya..!!!I couldn't think.No, I couldn't breathe. I knew it weighed down on her, I knew it held out her freedom and decided blindly to allow her the freedom I know she wanted even if it was going to be brief, but why didn't I think of it..?Why didn't I think of the possibilities that Hayley would wake up sooner..? No, why didn't I think that she'd terminate her own child…?I felt my heart almost too out when my own father was beginning to talk me out if it when solely, he was a part of all the mess created.The rage I felt from within, the anger that I tried keeping, all if it was now easily perceived with my aura. Thus wasn't the way I used to be but this was how I was; temperamental
Judah LopezThe words of Carter still ringing in my head, hard enough to make me realize Anya would need any help she can get.I might not or even never like Derrick, but I know he'd need her the most now that it is evident in Gabriel's and whoever Cathleen maybe. Both have directly used us to indirectly bring out their prey's, making us take the blame for whatever it was they are planning.After leaving zhukou's, I left to meet my uncle; that us if he's truly my relative if Gabriel hasn't used him for his works. The anger in wish I wanted to know why I am entangled in it all and still be the loser was a sore taste in my buds, I really wanted to know.The already old man was waiting, only he's young in human age."What does this man do you notice your presence after dinning with the princess..?" I heard him say as soon as I stepped in.Right, he expected it."Blame me when I do something wrong, Uncle," I said, smiling. "I apologize for my manners." It was creepy, the way he had expec
Hayley ArresThere was nothing more to expect that would come out good. They now know what it was even when they still played ignorant.Sneaking out to meet Cathleen, I wanted it all to be over even when it was obvious that I was now a ball, played by both mates.Gabriel wants Derrick and Lorenzo out if the way, Cathleen wants something more. Her words still rang in my ears, matching with what Alisha have said.Those words that make me come undone, words that reminded me of how much of a murderer I was. Words that said so much about me, continually been a tool, a coward.As I stared at the house, I figured it was the same house I met with Gabriel, the same house where it was planned that I would seduce Derrick into believing the pregnancy was it. The same house where another plan would again be made. I sighed.As usual, it was dark unlike the exterior, in the darkness, I msnagedy to find my way to sit when I heard her voice that startled me."You sneaked out.." It was more of a quest
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
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
