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
THIRD POVAfter everything that happened in both clans, it became even more heated. The story took a drastic turn when Cathleen created the perfect story to place Harley once more in the Luna seat.She created the accident and yet Harley saved Aisha, earning her a place in everyone's heart except the one she truly wanted. Everyone plotting in their heads and actions. Betrayals trying to come together to achieve a goal.Harley used once more by the devious Cathleen and Gabriel set to win the trust of Derrick for the last time.After the pregnancy fiasco, Harley took a new dimension. She tried another tactics and after another three months she finally got what she wanted.The marriage between her and Derrick. She believed they were destined. And not even the happenings could make her lose her mate again.The mate she once rejected brutally. Anya was heartbroken at the news. She was no longer the hateful or confused princess of the Zhukov clan. She was now determined to get that which
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
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.
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
