Nightmares from the past

2024-10-29 19:42:56Eve's POV
I was dragged forcibly out of the mansion by the guards and I cried and fought to struggle from their grip but it was only a feeble effort. They were a hundred times stronger than me. The man who had ordered them to drag me away stood tall and merciless as he watched them manhandle me without a hint of sympathy in his beastial eyes. Even though I wondered how I had fallen so deeply in love with such a demon, I didn't want to leave him.
"Please, don't do this to me! Please, give me another chance! Please, I beg of you!" I cried and tried to reach him but they pulled me away even farther apart from him. It broke my heart. Killed me.
"A second chance you say?" He sneered at me and gave me that disgusted look he had always given to me ever since I had started living with him as his arranged mate. "I am too repelled by you to give you a second chance. Go away and never come back."
"Please! Please, I beg you." I fell on my knees, crying even harder now. I knew that none of my tears would soften his heart but I tried regardless. Maybe somehow in his stoned heart, there could be even a tiny ounce of soft spot for me.
"Are you deaf, Eve?" He kept a straight, cold face. " Incase you didn't hear correctly, let me repeat my words to you. I, Lycan Stefan, reject you, Eve, as my mate. Get over it."
"Noooo!" I screamed and cried, feeling his words stab, slash, and maim my heart. I didn't want to hear any more of those heart wrenching statements. I was too broken to take any of it any longer. "Don't do this to me, Stefan. I forgave you even when you cheated on me with the same girl multiple times. I forgave you even when you embarrassed me in front of everyone and treated me like trash. Don't hurt me even more. Please. I beg you."
"We only got mated because of my parents and for the good of the pack. It was a marriage of convenience and I never had any feelings for you. Right now, I am letting you go, Eve…"
"I don't want to go!"
"Goodbye, Eve." He finalized and turned his back against me, walking away.
"Stefan! No! Stefan! Don't do this to me! Stefan!"
……………..
I opened my eyes with a short gasp and a hyperventilating chest. My lips quivered and I felt cold perspiration cloud my entire body as I tried to catch my breath. I blinked back the tears that gathered in the corners of my eyes and sat up on the bed. Turning the bedside lamp on, I reached for the sleeping pills on the bedside table and swallowed some.
"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck." I dug my fingers into my hair and let out a deep exhale. My heart bled to realize that the worst nightmare that had tortured me for years was back again. I knew that it was because of my contact with the devil today and that had caused me to relive the scars of the terrible past I had with him.
"Stefan, you fucking bastard." I cussed under my breath and my eyes grew teary. All I wanted was peace and to finally be able to forget him for good. Crossing paths with him today again wasn't something I had expected and the fact that it brought back those nightmares hurt me the most. And whenever I had these nightmares, I found myself revisiting those moments from eight years ago.
A young, poor omega girl getting mated to the young, merciless Lycan king. Even though it sounded like an odd combination, there was a reason behind it. Once, there used to be a gap between the omegas and the elites in the pack and because of this, the elites thought the best way to handle this situation was to bridge the gap between them and the omegas, by mating one of their own to the omegas. And so, Stefan's parents had forced him to take me as his Luna. After we got mated, I started living in the Alpha's quarters and that was the beginning of my suffering. Even though Stefan made it clear that he had no feelings for me and hated me with every last drop of blood in his body, I couldn't fight the feeling of love in me that was beginning to grow for him. And then, he had cheated on me with an elite girl over and over again. It felt like a stab in my heart and my pillows were soaked with tears every night. But Stefan never cared. If anything, it seemed like watching me drown in misery pleasured him.
And then one day, Stefan decided he didn't have a use for me anymore. He rejected me in the most excruciating way possible and kicked me out of the Alpha's quarters. With a broken heart, a hungry stomach and dirty body, I found myself in another pack where I was made to work as a servant. The Alpha there had taken notice of me and made me his Luna. But I never really healed from all the pains Stefan inflicted on me. Sometimes, when I looked at Jameson's face and saw the resemblance between him and Stefan, I felt a burning hatred in my heart for Stefan. It wasn't enough punishment to suffer from the nightmares of the horrible moments I'd experienced with him but seeing a part of him in Jameson hurt me the most.
It felt as though I could never fully get rid of him from my life. But again, I repeated the same promise I had made to myself all those years I'd been apart from him.
"Stefan Heart. You will never find out about my son. I will never let you take him away from me. I will never give you access to our lives again. Even if that's the last thing I do."

Eve's POV"Wakey wakey. Breakfast is here." My ears flooded with Jade's voice and I grumbled in my sleep as she pulled the curtains aside, allowing the soft brightness of the morning sunlight to hit my eyes. "Get up, already. Remember, it's convention day two.""Fuck off, Jade." I cussed at her and heard her laugh as she sat on the bed beside me. The aroma of delicious pancakes and sausages wafted into my nose and my stomach rumbled hungrily."No, I won't. Plus, you won't believe who this breakfast is from.""Go away." I wrapped myself around the duvet covers and tried to get back to sleep. "Lycan Stefan. They're from Stefan."My eyes shot open instantly and I brought down the duvet cover off my body. My eyes stared wide at Jade in disbelief. There was absolutely no way this could not be true."Are you kidding me?""No, I'm not." She picked a small note from the breakfast tray and handed it to me. Cautiously, I collected the handwritten note and read its brief contents.Do you still

Eve’s POV“You…” Emilia’s gaze was a mixture of anger and stupefied disbelief as she stared at me as if I was some ghost apparition that had come back to ruin her life.Meanwhile, Stefan was still frozen in place, as if the kiss had cast a spell on him that he couldn't break. “Long time no see, Emilia.” I said to her, the triumphant smile on my face still unwavering. “So sorry you had to see that. Stefan and I will be more careful next time.”This time, Emilia’s frustration turned into a burning rage and she snarled, her hand curling into a fist, ready to strike. She stormed towards my direction to hit me but before her hand could land on me, Stefan’s arm shot out and caught her wrist on time before her hand could meet with my face. Emilia’s gaze flickered between the two of us, her expression a mixture of anger and hurt as her chest heaved heavily with each breath. “That’s enough, Emilia.” Stefan said to her with a tone of warning that asked her to behave herself.”“What do you me

Eve's POVAfter the convention was over for that day, I followed Jade to the restaurant that she talked about and we settled down to have brunch. The waitress came with our orders and set them down on the table in front of us. My eyes lit up at the sight of the French toast, the sweet scent of berries wafting upwards, accompanied by a decadent drizzle of maple syrup. Opposite me, Jade’s avocado toast was equally appealing, its rustic sourdough blanketed with poached eggs and vibrant cherry tomatoes. The final touch to our brunch was a smooth, silky latte for each of us. “This looks good.” I exclaimed, grabbing my fork and knife to dig into my breakfast. One bite was all it took to confirm that the food was as good as it looked.Jade's face beamed and she flashed a grin, proud of her choice of restaurant. “Told ya,” she said, biting into her avocado toast.Just when we began our brunch, from the corner of my eye, I noticed the distinct presence of two people entering the cafe.

A Second Chance For My Lycan King Haunted memories
Stefan's POVThe remaining few days that followed the convention, I could only watch Eve from a distance. Whenever the thought of approaching her crossed my mind, it was met with the memory of our cafeteria encounter. That moment when she had snapped at me and told me that she wanted me to stay away from her and that she did not have any feelings for me any longer. Her words did hurt me, I wouldn't lie. It was the first time that she had snapped at me this way and made me feel this awful. Never had a woman's rejection cut me so deeply. Matter of fact, no other woman had ever made me feel this way. I wouldn't even have entertained another woman speaking to me in such a manner. But with Eve, it was different. It felt different. Eve was an mystery, a puzzle I couldn't solve. There was a shift in her, a subtle change that left me searching for answers. Yet, for all my confusion, I found myself unable to tear away from her. She held me captive, her presence a binding spell I was powerles
A Second Chance For My Lycan King A drunken Eve
Eve’s POVIt is morning. Ugh. My head hurt like a truck had just run over it, and I groaned as the soft morning lights that seeped through the curtains hit my closed eyes. Slowly opening my eyes, I winced at the dull throb pulsing through my head and the sunlight that hit my eyes. I sat up sluggishly on the bed and rubbed my temples gently with my fingers in a futile effort to get rid of the hangover headache. I had drunk myself to stupor, hadn’t I? I tried to piece together the events of last night when I had gotten drunk, but I could come up with nothing, and I stopped myself from thinking any further and resolved to the belief that after I had probably passed out from my drunken state, Jade had come to fetch just like she always did. It was nothing more than that. “Morning, sunshine.” Jade chirped in, holding a small tray that contained a bowl of soup in her hand. She set it down on the bedside table close to me. “Figured you’d need this.” “What is that?” I glanced at th

Eve’s POV“Mummy!” Jameson ran towards me, and I dropped to my knees just in time to catch him as he flung himself into my arms. I sniffed his familiar natural baby lotion scent and ruffled his hair as I laughed and hugged him close to me.“Hey, my little pumpkin. Did you miss me?"“Yes, mummy. I missed you so much.” His voice was muffled against my shoulder as he clung to me. “I’ve missed you too, my sweet. I’m here now.” I whispered, planting a kiss on his forehead as I withdrew myself from the hug a little and watched his face that beamed with pure, innocent joy. “Huh. I can see that someone is so focused on their mummy that they are forgetting that I exist.” Jade’s jealous words came as she huffed in distaste while Jameson and I laughed at her dramatic behaviour.“Welcome home, my Luna.” Carlisle greeted me as she came up beside Jamison. I extended a small smile to her in response.“Thank you, Carlisle. And thank you for taking good care of my son.”“It’s my duty, my Luna.” She

Eve’s POV“Mummy!” Jameson cried as soon as I burst into his room. He was huddled in a corner, his small body shaky, and his eyes were wide and terrified.The sight of him scared shattered my heart, and I crossed the room in seconds. Scooping him into my arms, I held him close. “It’s okay, sweetie. Mummy is here. I’ve got you.” I was trying so hard to keep my voice steady despite the chaos erupting around us.I had always known this day would come, but I never thought it would be this early. And that was why I had let my defences down. I was foolish. So foolish.Jameson buried his face in her shoulder, sobbing softly, his small arms circled around my neck. Blinking back tears that had begun to fill up my eyes, I kissed the top of his head. My mind raced as I tried to formulate a plan.We had to get out of here, but with the commotion outside, escaping wasn’t going to be an easy task. “Eve. We need to go!” Jade reappeared by the doorway, pale with fear. “Vesper and his men... They’ve
A Second Chance For My Lycan King The unexpected alliance
Stefan’s POV“Stefan! What in the bloody name of the gods do you think you’re doing?” Emilia’s shrill voice echoed through the walls of the mansion as she stomped down the staircase towards me, where I was seated in the foyer. She was steaming with rage. “Why did you bring that woman here?!”I lifted my gaze from my phone and stared up at her, my expression darkening. “I brought her here because she needed help.” I tried my best to keep my tone calm and composed even though my insides were beginning to boil in anger and irritation. “Would you have preferred I left her to die?”Emilia’s eyes narrowed and her nostrils flared. “This has nothing to do with her life. This has everything to do with you bringing her into her home. You could have easily taken her to the hospital to get medical treatment. Our mansion is not a home for treatment!”“Sit yourself down, Emilia.” My patience was beginning to snap now, and my tone bore a strong warning that Emilia knew all too well. “You succeeded

Eve’s POVTWO YEARS LATERAs the midday sun cast a gentle warmth over the packhouse, I moved around the garden, directing the maids with the final touches for our lunch setup. I was engrossed in the details, ensuring that every plate was perfectly placed and every napkin was folded just so. Across the yard, Jameson was playing and practicing his newfound powers by sending tiny ripples through the grass and shifting little pebbles in the air. I glanced at his direction and a small smile crossed my lips. But that didn’t stop me from calling him and reprimanding him.“Jameson. Careful, okay? You’ll wear yourself out.”He stopped and sent me a mischievous grin that spread across his face. The older he was getting, the more he looked just like Stefan. The resemblance was uncanny. “I won’t, Mommy! I’m strong!”I laughed, shaking my head. “Yes, you’re very strong, but don’t go overboard. You don’t want to spend the afternoon recovering, do you?”He gave me a proud, stubborn look before tu
A Second Chance For My Lycan King The Honeymooners
Eve’s POVI woke up slowly, stretching out my arm across the bed, expecting to feel Stefan’s warmth beside me. Instead, my hand brushed empty sheets. My heart fell in disappointment and I sighed, blinking my eyes open to the early morning light filtering in through the window. The waves crashed softly outside, tempting me to go back to sleep. But Stefan’s absence pulled me out of bed. It was a week after our mating ceremony and we were on our honeymoon at Stefan’s private beach house. Apollo and Jade were here too as it was a double honeymoon.Rubbing the last bits of sleep from my eyes, I slid out from under the covers, my feet brushing the cool wood floors as I padded toward the door. My steps were lazy, still a little groggy from waking up, but I kept walking. As I opened the door and stepped outside the beach house, the faint smell of smoke and something savory and delicious reached me. And there he was, standing over a barbecue grill with Apollo and Jade beside him, the three
A Second Chance For My Lycan King The mating ceremony
Stefan’s POVI stood at the altar, my hands clasped in front of me, trying to steady the slow hum of nerves thrumming beneath my skin. Beside me, Apollo shifted, glancing over his shoulder at the door for what had to be the tenth time in as many minutes. The place was filled with soft chatter and expectant whispers, and anyone could feel the excitement and anticipation in the air. Apollo gave a low whistle, nudging me with his elbow. “I still can’t believe it, Stefan. Your aura point is literally a thousand out of a hundred. You bagged one of the realm’s most beautiful women.”I chuckled softly under my breath. “Well, you don’t have to sound so shocked. I’ve always had my way with women.”Apollo shrugged and a smirk danced on his lips. “Honestly, I thought you would end up with someone a lot more intimidated by you. Not Eve. She matches you in every way.”I smirked back at him, unable to hold back my satisfaction. “Trust me, Apollo, I know exactly what I’m in for. And besides, I
A Second Chance For My Lycan King Two Magical Queens
Eve’s POVThe entire room was buzzing with life, not just the room but the packhouse and the entire realm in a whole. Around Jade and I, stylists fluttered around us, adjusting and smoothing out the lace on our sleeves and adding the final touches to our intricate updo. The entire space felt surreal. A room of mirrors, flowers, and stylists. We were getting ready for our big moments.It was the mating ceremony of Jade and I. Because Apollo and Stefan had proposed to the both of us on the same day, they had arranged for the mating ceremony to be held together and to be honest, that was the best thing that Jade and I could have ever asked for. Just me and my best friend, side by side in a place we never thought we would be.As the stylists and makeup artists worked on me, I glanced over at Jade, catching her in the mirror. Her gaze was distant and thoughtful as she stared at her reflection. Her gown was breathtaking. It was a cascade of ivory lace that spilled around her like a soft, sh
A Second Chance For My Lycan King A New Alpha
Eve’s POVWhen Stefan returned to the room again, he was carrying a tray of food and my mouth practically watered at the sight of it. He set it gently on my laps. “Breakfast in bed. How romantic!” I blinked at him, musing and teasing as I picked up the cutleries.M“I know right? Give me my flowers.” There was a tinge of pride visibly in his voice as he sat down beside me again.On the tray sat a spread that looked straight out of a gourmet magazine with eggs that were perfectly golden, buttery toast, and a delicate arrangement of fresh berries. The aroma filled the room and as I perceived the aroma, I shut my eyes briefly and hummed. This was the kind of breakfast that promised the start of a good day.I finally dug in, savoring the first bite. It tasted just as good as it looked, and I couldn’t help but smile impressively at Stefan again. For the second time, his breakfast had blown my mind again. I guess he was never bluffing when he said he was a good cook.“This is amazing, Stef
A Second Chance For My Lycan King Double Proposals
Jade’s POVApollo’s room was a stark contrast to the way it was the first time that he had brought me here. It was not filled with his shy laughter or the way he talked about his art, or the sounds of our moans as we made love for the first time. It was quiet. Too quiet, save for the soft rustle of pages as I turned them. I was seated at Apollo’s bedside while he was lying unconscious on the bed. His arm and the side of his stomach where he had been wounded was bandaged. Even though he was lying peacefully, I couldn’t forget the pain he had passed through last night when they had brought him and Eve back to the packhouse. Thankfully, we had Queen Morwenna around and she had saved both of them. Since that night, I had remained in his room and close to his bedside. The only times I excused myself from him for a moment were the times that I had gone to check in on Eve too. It ached my heart that the two people who were most precious to me were hurting at the same time and there was
A Second Chance For My Lycan King Nostalgia
Eve’s POVI opened my eyes slowly, squinting against the soft and muted light filtering in through the window. As my eyes scanned the familiar walls of my room, I felt a sense of deja vu and nostalgia. This wasn’t the first time I was waking up in my room like this. Or even the second. It had become almost like a routine. This room had become a marker of survival. I had lost count of how many times that I had woken up here, teetering somewhere between life and death, and with my body piecing itself back together. And each time, I half-expected that maybe I wouldn’t make it, that this would be the end. Yet, here I was again, breathing, alive.As if reading my thoughts, a familiar low, amused voice murmured beside me. “You’ve died and come back to life so many times now that I’m starting to think you’re immortal.”I blinked, my gaze sliding over to the side of the bed where Stefan sat with a faint smile on his dangerously handsome face. He was holding a tiny brush in his hand, and focu
A Second Chance For My Lycan King Gone Gone Best Friend
Stefan’s POV“Eve! No!” I screamed at the same time that Eve’s body collapsed to the ground. A chill raced through my spine and I stared wide eyed, unable to believe that Lukas had got her just in one second that I had looked away.“Fuck!” I rushed to her, scooping my body into my arms. Blood pooled around her and her eyes were shut now with her skin now turning pale. Tears clouded my vision as I held her body closer, my heart shattering to pieces.How could I have missed this? How could I have failed to protect her when I promised her that? How? “My apologies, Stefan. And like I said the other time, there are no hard feelings involved. This is for my own political interest.” Lukas’ voice coming from behind me made the hurt I was feeling to turn into rage. Hot, flaming rage. I lifted my gaze to meet him, glaring at him through blood red eyes. I was going to kill him. There was no way he would get out of this alive. As if betraying me wasn’t enough for him, he had gone ahead to touch
A Second Chance For My Lycan King The Big Fight
Eve’s POV“Attack!” Stefan’s battle cry came and in an instant, his soldiers shifted seamlessly into their ferocious wolf forms and with a thunderous cry, they surged forward and towards Vesper’s men who had also shifted into their wolf forms. Apollo was at their helm with his brown fur glinting as he launched himself into the chaos. Within seconds, Stefan’s soldiers and Vesper’s men clashed and the battle began.“Remember what I told you yesterday.” Stefan turned his gaze to me. The expression on his face was the most serious that I had ever seen him. “When I tell you to run, you fucking run. Understand me?”“I understand.” I nodded my head at him and my heart melted as he gave me a quick kiss on the forehead before unsheathing his silver sword and headed straight for Vesper who was waiting for him with a dark, amused smile on his face. “I still don’t get why you’re doing all these for that slut.” I heard Vesper yell to Stefan over the noise of the battle clash and howls as he prod
