CHAPTER 31Derrick MooreDown there I almost collapsed of anger, the very kind that was brewing in me.It's a different thing to know that you're separated from your mate; all in the name of making things right when clearly, nothing can and would be right about our situation.The issue of twenty-five years ago would continue trying to break us as it was seen that whenever there's a little improvement between Anya and I, more forces kept coming.How did they try to set me up with Hayley? What does the damned fucking asshole expect? That I'd accept her back because she once used to be my mate?We're all tied, tied to the same tree, nobody wanting to give up. If only the reunion never happened that night..!!If only I had followed Anya's wish and just didn't bother about some stupid reunion that seems now to be the cause of all we are facing.Isn't it just enough? Enough that we are in some stupid bond that only breaks us?I felt useless at this point. My Anya can be somewhere for all I

Anya zhukouThe incident I had with Maya; the part where I knew she was secretly recording was totally heart wrecking.The words of her mouth, the ones that once soothed my heart, were now nothing but blunt lies. How she met with her betrothed…, how she argued about orange smoothie?Though it was truly soothing like she said, really?I did take her as a sister; spending time with someone aside from Derrick. It felt calm and peaceful, only for it to be another form of warning that whoever she was recording clearly knows of myself and Derrick.How stupid can I be? To think all she said was just from her innocent mind.. consoling me? None of these bothered me, at least not until Nala spoke in my head."Don't you think something is off?" She had asked.In my lonely room where I let my thoughts go wild, the only place where I can make loose of myself without any concern in the world… I tried figuring it out and truly; like Nala said… it did form a puzzle..!!At the point where my eyes tur

Anya zhukouWe met at my former working place; the cafe where it all started from.I sat at a small round table, taking note of how hideous the place now looks. It made sense, my former employer.. passed the cafe down to his first son, living it in his care without control. Not so much of a difference between the werewolves and humans.Their inheritance was passed, but unlike us; they cause a lot of nuisance. While my people would just step down from a certain position, knowing that there's certainly no way for you to reject the offer, they tend to force their will on you.Urgh!!Sighing for the uptenth time, I wanted to see him. Waiting patiently for his intoxicating scent to raft through my brain. To tell him how much I missed him. But I was nervous…Nala wouldn't let me off her hook, also waiting for our mate.For the first half of the year, the troubles of twenty-five years ago, Maya, Hayley Arres, Carter… all of them. They all thought me in a way or two, opening my eyes to see

Hayley Arres Thank goddess for the choice of cloth I out on, a body fitting gown that would bring heads turning at my direction. My cleavage, slightly open; it was perfect. "What's happening here de.. Derrick?" I heard her say, Anya. Her eyes were already beginning moist and I love it. She deserves all of it, the pain that I felt too. Disgust..! Shame..!! Hatred…!!! All of what I felt at his clear rejection; on that day that would forever stand as a path for me, a path to always follow as to not loose focus. "Yeah… what are you d..!" I was quick to interrupt him with with my hands in his soft lips. "Hush now my love; why don't you let me handle her..?" Waiting wouldn't be if any good so I turned to where the asshole was seating opposite Derrick. I hated her with passion. I wish I could just make her disappear from his life but then... It would be a gradual process. Soon, she was going to be out of his life... Permanently. I would make sure of it. I let out a small smirk

Derrick MooreThat was it.I was berated, angry but still… I don't know why I sat. Was it to know what Anya would do? I doubt it.Belle Delphine, for the past half year, I discovered the place. Named it and even push it further in the business world but never has anything like this happen.It was the least of my expectations; truly, it was cowardice."Miss Sheng, can you cancel what's that is remaining for today!?" I asked. No, I didn't even wait for her response because I was out of the door.Driving as fast as possible, I knew where she headed to already.Why today of other days?What does she think she'd gain with her act?It hasn't been like this since like forever, Anya and I have been spending most of our times together; and it felt right.At the thoughts of what she would be doing; my anger coiled up again.Then it hit me…!!How come did I not know? Already at the parking slot, I didn't care to check how I parked the car, not like I wanted to use a car, it was just to showcas
