"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
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
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
CHAPTER TWO Derrick Moore Everyone there stared at us. My heart raced so fast and loud that I feared it would echo in the room. From the corner of my eyes, I noticed Anya taking a step back. She must be as anxious as I was. I held her hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze. I needed the touch to help me steel my nerves more than she did. I hoped she was too occupied in her thoughts to notice my hands trembling.My inner wolf beckoned to me trying to get me to relax. I knew he was just worried that I might lose control and I knew letting something like that happen was a big no.Anya looked up at me with worried eyes but I fixed on a fake smile and mouthed to her that it was going to be fine.I scanned the room carefully and I was quick to spot someone waving at me from the group of guys discussing around a table. I walked toward the group to have a closer look at the guy grinning at me. He didn't look familiar at all in his rich cream suit and clipped brown hair.“If it isn’t Ricko
Pov: Anya Zhukov "What does that mean?" Derrick asked, his voice carrying his shock.The tears fell freely from my eyes. I had lost the strength to hold them back. I had lost every strength I once possessed. All I could do was cry and feel low.My eyes stung."Anya!" Derrick shook me."Carter rejected me. He's, or he was my mate." I managed to say through the tears.Derrick cursed and his hands turned into fists. I knew him well enough to know he was angry enough to take a swing at Carter so I held on to his arm and rested my head against his shoulder. It worked."Can I get everyone's attention?" Carter's voice said from the center of the auditorium. He used a spoon to hit his glass as an indication that he needed silence.Everyone focused on him most especially Derrick and myself. Derrick more than anyone else."I want to use this opportunity to celebrate my newly found freedom." He said.His words slurred. It was easy to notice just how drunk he was."The moon goddess messed up wh
Pov: Derrick Anya became my mate and we made a promise to be there for each other till the end. We were going to stay best friends and lovers no matter what comes our way. The night we became mates, she gave me everything she had and I did the same. We understood each other completely and being lovers was the most beautiful thing that had ever happened in my life.I dedicated everything to her.Anya continued working in the restaurant while I increased my shift at the club. I worked nights which affected the time I spent with Anya but it didn't affect the love we had for each other. We were both alone in the world. We had no one but ourselves and yet somehow we were fine like that.Soon, it was hard to think of a time when she wasn't in my life. The best memories of my life were with her and we made happier memories as lovers.After a month, we decided to move in together to cut down the stress of going back and forth between our apartments. It also made it easier for us to handle
Pov: Anya Zhukov It had been five months since I met my mother. She explained how I had gotten lost during the Pack Wars that happened years ago around the period of my birth. She had searched for me for so long believing I was alive. All the while I had thought my birth parents had given me up and it was easier to hate them for it back then but now that I knew what happened, it made it harder to swallow.According to her, my father is the alpha of one of the most powerful packs. I didn't get to see him because the old geezer was off on a business trip but he was told about my return. I even had a call with him. The emotions during the phone call choked both of us as we cried more than we talked.Derrick and I had dinner twice with my mother. During the second dinner, she asked Derrick some personal questions. She said there was something peculiar about him and asked to see his right arm where I knew he had an "N" mark burned into his flesh. She saw the mark and went cold. She ask
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 anothe
