How Stupid Was He?

It pissed her off to know that her daughter had clearly rejected Carter knowingly. The fact that I was moving with Derrick.. the only heir of the enemies clan, annoyed her more.

"If only the son of that bastard didn't exist".... If only he had died in the explosion!!

Explosion? What explosion? 

"What the hell happened twenty-five years ago?" I asked. 

Also pissed that my mom wouldn't tell me a thing. She didn't spill out anything that happened and it infuriated her more.

Smiling, my mother grimaced " You want to know?"

I had no choice; I needed to know about every detailed information of what happened twenty-five years ago. Swallowing a lump in my throat, I nodded. If this was a way to stay with my mate; I was ready to listen.

I watched my mother with her hands clenched tight, and the twisting of veins behind her neck, she let out an exasperated sigh.

"Look Anya, what happened twenty-five years ago wasn't a mere illusion. Why don't you just try and understand that what your father and I did was to protect you and that we will never stop protecting you." 

She moved closer to touch my hands but I moved away, indicating I wanted to be left alone.

"Y-you don't have to,'' I spoke out, with my voice cracking in between. 

"All my life I had lived alone; didn't you tell me you wanted to give up? Why didn't you just do that then; and forget I ever existed?" I asked with furrowed brows. 

"Stop this madness Anya! You're not going to continue some stupid bond with that shitpiece. You would mate with Carter and make them our in laws". Anya's mom growled. 

She had taken it all out, not minding if it hurt her daughter that much. All she wanted was for her daughter to be seperated from Derrick.

Oh… really?

"I should make that ungrateful bastard your inlaw!!" I smirked.

I let out a bitter laugh before facing her head on. 

"Do you even know what he did and how Derrick became my mate?" I fired, watching how a color flashed in my mother's eyes.

"I am still your mother Anya; show some honor," My mom argued.

"For as much as we continue talking about that motherfucking asshole; expect no honor from me" I thundered, with a tear successfully gracing my face in a not so straight line.

"My 23rd year of living has been hard; don't make it any worse than it is!!" I exclaimed, choking with my sobs. 

Stepping out on my mother was what I never imagined I would do. Growing up wanting a mother, one that would love me to the end was what I had always wished for; but as it stands, not anymore.

As soon as I stepped out of the building, I met with Carter. The bastard didn't leave with his mom as expected.

Giving me a cocky smile, grinning from ear to ear, Carter moved to my side. 

Seeing how I was clenching my hands tightly on the hem of her dress, the floral gown that was slightly above my knees, I saw him throwing me lecherous looks.

"What do you want, Carter Olsen?" I asked, not wanting to waste a minute with him. 

Moving round where I stood, circling me, he said more like a whisper for me alone to hear; "Why the formalities now, baby girl? I can see you are not with your disciple"

Taking a strand of my long wavy hair that was now curly; he inhaled my scent.

"Derrick is not my disciple Carter Olsen; he's my mate.." Anya grimaced. Instead of feeling aroused, I felt disgusted. 

"Never knew the dirty hag that showed up at the reunion with nothing but a piece of cheap clothing would have alpha parents…" Carter mocked.

Without waiting for him to finish his words, I raised my hands and gave him a resounding slap that went across the whole sitting room. I watched as his eyes turned darker but who fucking care!

" Next time when you speak, remember I am no longer that dirty hag that always showed up with a piece of the cheapest clothing! I am a princess and you have to accord that respect to me or I will show you what I am made of!" I spat out angrily. 

How does it feel? I wanted to ask as I gave him another disgusting look. I walked closer to him as he wiped out the little blood on his side lips. 

"You were lucky to have gotten at me back then, but I promise; not any more. Seeing how you are nothing far from being worse at any moment, I would just like you to get the hell away from my face. I don't like being seen around motherfucking shitholes!!" I added, trying to control my anger. 

It was more like Nala was the one talking. Vibrating on the insides, Nala just wouldn't allow the idiot to be without giving him a piece of her human mind. It works either way, we are in one body.

Hahaha!!

"You really think you would send me off? Of course not darling. Back then I made a mistake". Carter informed, his eyes darkened. He looked around the sitting room and saw that our mothers were walking towards us.

She looked at how Carter quickly changed his expression.

"Derick being your mate has nothing to do with me baby girl; I own you from the beginning" He said, smirking. 

With this said, he led his mother towards his car. He also boarded his car, a Toyota Corolla, standing in its Glory. Winking at me one last time, he drove out.

"What the hell was that about?" Nala screamed in my head, feeling the rage of uncontrollable anger. 

Angry that I still remained calm even when the bastard was talking. 

"It's nothing Nala, I promise". I reassured her.

****

Third POV 

Back in the car, Carter was angry, frustrated that the girl he had once mocked is now different. Different in most things. Anya wasn't even in the list of top fifty beautiful women in the orphanage reunion. She looked different in every way. Her way of speaking, her walks and appearance were all changed. 

He would have landed her a blow for talking down his pride but he had to keep his cool. The heck!!

She's the lost princess of the zhukou's clan. The one he had always wanted to meet with but unfortunately, he rejected her when he had the chance. Why? Because she wasn't rich then!! He messed it all up; and now it's up to him to make her like him. To make her accept him.

While his mind was a moving chaos, his brain was in turmoil. Back then, he had rejected her along with Hayley. They had both rejected their mates, saying they are nothing but useless animals; a shame to the werewolf realm. But now, wouldn't it be a shame that he couldn't even sway a woman with his pretty face?

His wolf wouldn't keep mute. It was purring hard that his human was worthless. To think he rejected his mate for the lost princess of his pack and later found out that the same lady he rejected and thought as nothing was the princess!! It really did make sense. Now Derrick, the lone wolf, an ordinary disciple to Anya zhukou, was given the opportunity to be her mate.

How stupid was he!?
