ZARAAri was under the impression that Anders was stiff, perhaps she was right but I'd never seen him that way so I had to convince her otherwise by telling her about all the sacrifices Anders made for me, even when he was injured. I assured her that Anders was just being cautious but he had a very good heart."Then I guess there's no reason for me to be afraid of him," she replied with a smile.We kept talking into the night until Ariana slept off and shortly after, I followed suit.I instantly opened my eyes when I heard footsteps approaching during the early hours of the morning. I picked up my bow, ready to shoot but relaxed when I saw that it was Anders and behind him was Logan.I smiled at him, "good morning, handsome. You guys took all night."Anders sat beside me and draped his arm around my shoulder, "good morning my love. I'm sorry if you waited up for us. I so badly wanted to be by your side but if we are going to travel together, I need to ensure that Logan can defend hims

ANDERSI stared at the gate and back at the monsters who were approaching us and screamed, "run." This was the only solution I could think of, especially because we were outnumbered and it could be worse for Logan and Ariana. We let go of each other's hands to enable us to run faster.I had never run so fast in my entire life and my only relief was the fact that Zara was ahead of me. While she and Ariana were in front, Logan and I were behind, trying to catch up. The lycans also did not make it easier for us, as they chased us as though their lives depended on it. Once we were out of the gate, I thought we had almost gained our freedom, but then I felt a lycan reaching out his hand to stab my back, and turning around, I stabbed him and pushed him back before I continued running. I did not bother to stop or look back until I took a curve and finally arrived at the road. I caught up with Zara and Ariana, who had reached the road first, and I turned to look at the lycans but noticed th

ANDERSI heard a voice, calling out to me. It was Zara's. She was drowning in an ocean. Her hand reached out to me as she kept calling my name and asking me to save her.I opened my eyes and realized I was in a cave. My memories came back to me in a rush and almost immediately, I began to feel dizzy again. I looked in front and saw the plant that had brought me to the cave. It had the antidote I so badly wanted.My Zara, I could not let her down. I began to move slowly, crawling with my arms while ignoring the pain in my body. I kept moving as my head kept spinning until I finally got to the plant. I reached out my hand and plucked a handful of the leaves, squeezed it, and rubbed it on the part of my body where I had been stabbed. After that, I turned and lay on my back, waiting for my wound to heal. I wasn't a werewolf and that was a disadvantage at this point. It was going to take a long time for me to heal but time was what I did not have because I needed to get to Zara. Also, o

ANDERSI opened my eyes in the morning and stretched my body. I was in a much better condition, fit to resume our journey and I knew Zara was too. I looked around me but there was no sign of her.I came out of the cave but I still did not see her. I knew she must be around. If anything had happened while I slept, Zara would have made me aware. We also had some fruits left with us so there was no need for her to go out looking for food.I followed her scent and it led me back into the cave. I kept going deeper and deeper until I noticed an opening on the other end of the cave. I heard the sounds of water falling and quickly went out through the opening.I was greeted with the sight of an amazing waterfall but much better than that was a perfect sight; an unclad Zara. Having become aware of my presence, she turned and smiled at me before turning her attention back to the water. She looked exquisite as the water trickled down her body and when she turned once again and stared at me, I

ANDERSWe arrived at the werewolf pack and I took out some money from our bag. We still had enough since we hadn't spent much of it. Zara and I bought a lot of foodstuffs to carry us for the next two weeks. I bought different fruit seeds, got another bag, and filled it with the foodstuffs we bought. When we were done at the market, we were about to leave when many werewolves who were warriors began to arrive from outside the gate.Zara let go of my hand instantly as we noticed that everyone who was in the market square was gathering in one corner. Zara said, "Let's back up, Anders, and move inside the crowd so no one will notice us." Zara and I began moving deep into the crowd to avoid attention. There were many warriors and they seemed to be very strong.Zara was moving right behind me when I heard a voice say, "Stop right there." I continued moving, but Zara stopped. When she turned, the werewolf who was leading the other werewolves pointed at her. When I turned and saw him, I in
