All Chapters of Against All Odds: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

ADELEAs Aryan threw me out, I stood outside, tears streaming down my face. Once again, I had fallen victim to a trap made by God knows who, and now I had been kicked out of a party that was meant for me. I ran away from his sight, stood by the fence for a while, and finally decided to go to my place of work. I couldn't go back home; I knew what was waiting for me there, so I'd rather spend my time in my place of work. At least I knew my bosses would sympathize with me.On my way out of the alpha's compound, I saw Diana, my best friend back then. She was also coming to the party, although it seemed she was late. She stood for a while staring at me. "You came?" she asked. I nodded, "Yes, I came. I was one of his mates, but once again, I was set up.""Really?" she stared at me in surprise. "You mean he had more than one mate, and you were one of them?" I nodded. "This is my life. I don't know who is doing this to me.""Hold on," she said. "I think I have a theory." "What theory is

ARYANAfter everything that happened, my mood got ruined. I couldn't believe I tried to be nice to Adele, but then she once again did something to disappoint me. After throwing her out of the party, I went back into the hall and addressed the guests once more while holding Selene's hand. When everyone began to enjoy the party, I realized that my parents who were earlier standing beside me had gone inside.I let go of Selene's hand but she held mine almost immediately and wanted us to spend some time alone in my bedroom. I was all excited about it but I needed to hear what my parents had to say first so I told her to give me some time and she reluctantly agreed. I went into the house to meet my Mom and my Dad came out and met both of us. "You have seen what I was saying, right? Have you seen what she's up to?" he asked. "I've seen, Dad," I replied. "I don't know what to do. What do I do?" "You haven't even been made the alpha yet, but she's so proud to pull off such a stunt in my

ADELEWas I dreaming? Because this moment felt as though it wasn't real. Aryan searched for me and came all the way? What could have happened? He threw me out of the party and must have come out probably to call me back in but realized I had left.I would have expected him to go back inside and give up since he seemed so upset with me. This was surprising. What could he want to say to me? It suddenly hit me; he wanted to reject me, but then what about Selene? Oh no! I knew about the pain of rejection. I had heard about it one too many times. I guess I had no choice but to brace myself for the pain.But why would he want to reject me when doing so would affect Selene as well? I thought he liked her a lot. Maybe because of what happened, he had decided that we both weren't worth it. I was so scared. I initially had been excited that he followed me all the way to the cafe', but after my realization, my feet felt heavy.He walked out of the cafe and stood outside, but I took my time, wal

SELENEAs I drove back home, tears fell from my eyes. It was hard for me to control them. Nothing had gone the way I'd planned. I had put in so much effort, more than even Adele did, but what did I get in the end? Despite how badly I portrayed her, Aryan ran to her. He'd rather stay with her than me, who was loved by everyone. He told me that we should take things slow, but it was different with Adele. I couldn't take this, and Adele... I was so going to deal with her.As I parked in front of my house, I came out and hurried into the house. My dad was surprised to see me. "What are you doing back home, Selene? This is just past eleven. I mean, I was thinking you'd spend the night at Aryan's. Listen, I've told you before, this is the only opportunity you have. You need to get close to him and not give Adele a chance. You were supposed to convince him to spend the night with you. Why are you back here? Even Adele isn't here....""Dad, don't even talk about that witch," I cried. "Do you k

ARYANAs I drove back home, I felt very happy. The time I had spent with Adele gave me a feeling that was out of this world. It wasn't the same as when I was with Selene. It was already morning when I arrived home, but my party seemed to still be in full swing. This was how we partied in New Falls, on rare occasions though. Yes, because my dad was the mayor, everyone decided to make themselves at home. A few had gone back home, but because of the drinks, the music, and the food, a lot of people in my pack still stayed behind.When I got into the house, all eyes were on me. Of course, I knew why. They were surprised by the turn of events. It was supposed to be a ceremony to formally accept my mates and introduce them to everyone. But surprisingly, we all left the party. I had no idea where Selene had gone, but I hoped to call her later before going to bed. I knew that I had hurt her feelings somehow. I didn't mean to do that, but it wasn't my fault that I felt a stronger pull towards
