***** A Few days ago****** Seattle***I felt Miles' soft lips pressing against mine; my knees seemed to grow weak as he pushed me towards the wall, his eager hands roaming over my body. I held his head and drew him closer, savoring the sensation of our lips locked together in a tender, yet passionate kiss. I pulled away from him to catch my breath, sweat glistened his face. He began to kiss his way down my neck and his hands rose up my dress making me vibrate. This was not going well, at this rate we would end up having sex. Suddenly, he tried to remove my clothes, I pulled away and his dark eyes frowned at me. "Why did you stop?" Miles asked, his hand slipping beneath my skirt.I held his hands, preventing him from pulling it down. "You know, you are turning eighteen tomorrow, and then we can finally be together as mates," I replied with a smile."Yeah, I know." He chuckled. "So we have more time to do this, right,” he said, maybe trying to guess what I was driving at.I nodded, fe
"Alrighty!" I quickly nodded and made my way to the bathroom, feeling a little dizzy. Once I reached the sink, I turned on the tap and vomited the contents of the drink that I had been holding for too long.Damn it! I used my handkerchief to wipe my dress before washing my face and heading back out. My eyes scanned the crowded dance floor as I dodge a group of drunk boys who tried to touch me, I slapped their hands away and they burst out laughing.That's when I spotted Miles from the corner of my eyes. He moved towards a corner of the house, seemingly with someone. I hurried over, calling his name above the loud music."Miles! Miles!" I yelled, but he didn't turn around.Confused, I looked around to see where he had gone, but couldn't find him. "Where has he gone off to?" I murmured to myself. "Oh there you are!" I touch his shoulder and turned him around. oh my it wasn't him but a young man with the reek of alcohol all over him. "Pretty do you want to dance?" He giggled. "No no
I ran down the stairs, tears streaming down my face, I heard footsteps behind me. It was Alex. "What happened?" He asked but I ran past him to a waiter holding a tray of drinks. "Give me that!" i said as i gulped down to glass of wine. "Stop! Stop!" he said. As for what followed after i don't remember but all i knew was that i drank till I was unconscious! ****** Present ******I looked up at him with teary eyes that begged to be believed. “There is a way to resolve all this,” he said calmly.The family has decided to give you out to someone you will get to know. "You can't stay in the family any longer, moreso he has agreed to take you in."Take me in? That was the most stupid thing I have heard. I wasn't a cheap commodity they could throw around, I have to leave. I muttered to myself as I watched the big bonfire at the center of the festival's arena from a lonely and deserted spot, a small tree with leaves enough to provide a little shade. The pack was festive, tables were set
As I dressed in the white gown that the maid gave me, I couldn't help feeling anxious. I was told that the Alpha had sent someone to pick me up and take me to his mansion.The car ride was silent and nerve-wracking, but when we arrived at the mansion, I was met with a group of young men. I scanned their faces, trying to figure out which one was the Alpha. None of them looked particularly important - they all just seemed like regular pack members.We got to the palace faster than I had imagined we would. It was either that or I had been caught up in my thoughts to notice the time that had elapsed.I was given small quarters where I would be living while under the services of the Alpha’s household. It was more comfortable than the room I slept in back home. I was starting to enjoy this new life.That night, a maid came in to address me. She told me the Alpha had asked for me. I was confused as to the reason the Alpha would want to summon a common slave he had just recently purchased. Th
As I opened the door and came face to face with a lady in her mid-forties. Briefly and creatively describe her. She had a bit of semblance to Nate, and she dropped her hands akimbo when she saw me.“What's all this, Nate?” She asked immediately if she saw Nate.I stood there, feeling a bit awkward and out of place as the tension between Nate and the woman in front of us grew. I didn't know who she was, but her resemblance to Nate made me assume that she must be a relative, perhaps an older sister or cousin. Her piercing gaze swept over me from head to toe, and I suddenly became very aware of my appearance, specifically the low-cut blouse I had chosen to wear that day. I quickly buttoned up, trying to hide my embarrassment.“What's going on here?” the woman demanded, still staring at me.Nate looked at me, and then back at the woman. She is…” The woman huffed and interrupted him before he could complete his words.“Well, I know she is just a whore like you always say with every other
… Nate's pov…I sat quietly as Aunt Mae scolded me, her words like a constant barrage of criticism. She was always strict with me, but this time, her words stung more than usual.“Nate, I can't believe you didn't stand up to the elders,” she said, her voice rising in frustration. “You're a grown man now, an Alpha," she stressed on the word Alpha, making me tighten my shoulders together. She was right. “you need to start taking responsibility for yourself, you can't let them control your marital life.” I looked down at my hands, feeling ashamed. I knew Aunt Mae was right, but I just didn't have it in me to argue with the elders. They were so set in their ways, and I would rather not rock the boat.“I know, Aunt Mae,” I mumbled. “I just didn't want to cause any trouble.”“That's the problem, Nate,” Aunt Mae said, her voice softening slightly. “You're always trying to avoid conflict, but sometimes you need to stand up for yourself. You can't be their object.” I was silent.“Nate, you ne
… Eva's pov…As I was leaning out the window, lost in my thoughts, I heard footsteps approaching the door. Panic set in, and I quickly left the window, surveying the room to make sure everything was in order. I hastily pushed my old clothes that I wore earlier to a corner and headed towards the door. I opened the door halfway, and then I saw those hazel eyes that knew how to Pierce deep into me, I realized that I had forgotten to ask who it was, but it was already late. Before I could utter a word, the door was pushed open, and he entered the room, locking the door behind him. My heart started racing, and I stepped back a bit terrified. What he was doing here, I could only wonder. “You…” I stuttered, my voice trembling. I'm confused. He was wearing a long sleeved white shirt with a crooked collar on a blue pants. His old habit was still there; his Collar was never in order. “Hello, Eva,” he said, his voice calm and collected. “Long time no see.”I couldn't believe my eyes, Miles? M
… Eva pov…My heart raced as I heard the footsteps coming closer and closer. I exchanged a glance with Miles, but his serious expression only made me want to laugh. “An Alpha indeed,” I muttered under my breath. He sharply turned to me, startling me. He heard me, but he didn't say anything the moment didn't permit.The room was hushed as we both waited using our werewolf senses to hear any sound that might give us a clue as to what was happening. The tension in the air was palpable, and I could feel my palms starting to sweat.Suddenly, the footsteps stopped right outside the door, and my breath caught in my throat. It wasn't Alpha Nate I could tell, so could Miles. “Miss Eva, Mrs Mae needs you to come meet her in an hour," a female voice said . It was a maid. I deeply let out a sigh of relief.”My heart was still racing from the tension-filled moments we had just experienced, and now Miles was standing in front of me, asking for a response to his proposal. I tried to brush it off,
… Eva's pov… I stared at Miles's furious eyes, my heart raced, and my mind scrambled to find the right words to say. He was convinced I had released those pictures, but the truth was, I had nothing to do with it. I knew who did it, but revealing the culprit meant exposing a dark secret that could shatter the fragile trust between Miles and me. For now, I had to protect myself from Miles, the real mastermind behind the deceit.My face contorted into a scowl as Miles accused me of lying. “You can't lie to me, Eva,” he said with a tone that mixed hurt and frustration. His grip on my hands tightened, but I had to remain strong. I couldn't let Miles fall victim to Miles' cunning games.“It was nothing,” I replied, trying to feign innocence as I shrugged my shoulders.Mile's doubt and anger were evident, but I was unable to bring myself to confess the truth. The fear of Miles' wrath kept my lips sealed. As I hurriedly walked away, my heart pounded in my chest, and my mind raced with fear an
…Eva's pov… I dropped onto the couch, my heart was pounding, my lips shivering with anticipation and anxiety. Thoughts raced through my mind as I looked at the closed door, wondering what secrets it held. My eyes then caught a glimpse of the phone lying on the couch beside me, a tempting source of answers.I hesitated for a moment, my hand hovering over the phone, unsure if I wanted to know what lay hidden within its digital confines. But curiosity got the better of me, and I finally stretched my hand out to pick it up. With a deep breath, I unlocked the device and opened his social media profile, hoping to find some clues.As I scrolled through, I was relieved to see that no pictures had been released. However, I squinted my eyes, trying to discern any cryptic messages or hidden hints. Frowning, I moved on to his emails, searching for anything that might shed light on the mysterious deal.My heart raced as I delved deeper into his digital life, but there was still no sign of any com
… Eva's pov…I can't believe Miles right now. He's always been the one to trust, the one who understands me, but today feels different. I take a step back, one foot after the other, as I try to distance myself from the conversation. His frown deepens, and I can see the bewilderment in his eyes."What makes you think so?" he asks, his eyebrows slanting in concern. But I can't handle it right now. I don't want to listen to any of it. Not at all."I don't want to hear none of it," I say firmly, raising my voice to make my point clear. I can feel my heart pounding in my chest, my emotions getting the better of me. I wave my hands in frustration, trying to keep myself from breaking down."Eva," Miles starts to say, but I can't let him continue. I cut him off sharply, repeating myself, "At all! I don't want to hear none of it."My cheeks feel hot, and I know they must be flushed red. I hate feeling this way—angry, hurt, and confused all at once. Why can't things just be simple? Why does eve
… Eva's pov…I looked up, my eyes meeting Miles as he descended the stairs. My gaze was icy, concealing the turmoil of emotions beneath a Stoic exterior. It was hard to discern what I was truly thinking or feeling as I watched him approach, seemingly unfazed by my cold stare. Did he even realize the intensity of my scrutiny?As he reached the bottom of the stairs, I couldn't tear my eyes away. They narrowed slightly, betraying the lingering fixation on him. There was an undeniable tension between us, a history of unresolved conflicts and complicated emotions that lingered in the air.Our interactions were never warm or open. Silence hung heavy between us, speaking louder than any words we could exchange. The unspoken emotions were palpable, leaving anyone observing us curious about the nature of our relationship and the events that had led to this moment.I wondered if the coldness in my eyes would ever thaw, if we'd ever find a way to bridge the gap that had grown between us. Or perh
Eva's povI was busy in the kitchen, humming a soft tune to myself as I prepared breakfast. It had been two months since I moved into this house, and I had finally settled in, becoming familiar with the creaky floorboards and the way the morning sunlight streamed through the kitchen window. The rhythmic clinking of utensils and the aroma of fresh coffee filled the air, making me feel at home.As I was flipping pancakes on the stovetop, my phone suddenly rang. Glancing at the screen, I saw that it was an unknown number. Usually, I'd let it go to voicemail, but something made me curious this time. Maybe it was the way the morning felt, a sense of adventure in the air, or simply the desire for a change from my usual routine.I wiped my hands on a kitchen towel and picked up the phone, "Hello?""Eva, is that you?" a voice on the other end asked hesitantly.My heart skipped a beat, and my mind raced to identify the voice. It wasn't a voice I recognized immediately. "Yes, this is Eva. May I
...Nate's pov...As I sat in the car, my mind was filled with a mixture of concern and determination. I was on a call with someone who seemed to have crucial information, and I needed to be sure of its accuracy. "Are you really sure?" I asked, hoping for confirmation."Yes, sir," the person on the other end of the call replied confidently. "I am sure. We didn't report it earlier because we didn't immediately match her description with the lady in mention. But calculating the time, she must have been the one. Coupled with her ignorance and discretion as reported."I nodded, taking in the information carefully. It seemed that they had found a lead on Eva, and it was important for me to be fully informed to ensure her safety."Okay, okay," I replied, sounding convinced. "But... I hope no one else has this information that will trace her back to us.""No one," the voice reassured me. "She was, however, traced to the bar. Also, a bar attendant said someone took her. He matched the descripti
…Eva's pov…My eyes watered, and my lips quivered as I looked at Miles. His smile and laughter in response to my outburst only fueled my anger. “Damn you,” I howled, my voice a mix of frustration and hurt.He turned, seemingly unfazed by my emotional outburst, and casually mentioned that breakfast was ready. The sound of my stomach grumbling reminded me of my hunger, but I didn't want anything from him.“You think I want anything from you?” I growled, my hands balling into fists. I would rather not give him the satisfaction of knowing that his breakfast offer tempted me.“What are you waiting for?” he asked, standing there at the door post, seemingly unperturbed by my anger.I moved towards him, my eyebrows slanted with determination. My legs were still shaky, and I felt haggard from the emotional turmoil he had put me through. I knew he had planned this, trying to manipulate me by offering food when he knew I was hungry.He seemed to read my thoughts and confirmed it with a smirk. “Y
…Eva's pov… I watched Miles leave the room, my heart boiled with anger and frustration. How could he just walk away like that? After everything we shared, he acted as if it meant nothing to him. It felt like he was constantly pushing me away, and I couldn't bear it any longer.My chest heaved up and down as I tried to control my emotions. The sudden transformation had left my wolf weak, and the rush of emotions was overwhelming. I wanted to scream, to let out all the pent-up anger inside me, but I felt powerless to do anything.I clenched my fists, feeling the limits of my strength breaking, but there was no outlet for it. I couldn't take my anger out on Miles, even though part of me wanted to lash out at him for hurting me like this.As the rage subsided, I felt a wave of exhaustion wash over me. The emotional turmoil had drained me, and I could do nothing but stare weakly at the door through which Miles had left. It hurt to realize that I still cared for him despite everything.My
… Miles pov…I disengaged from Eva, rolling off her with a sense of relief washing over me. Our bodies had been intertwined, and the physical warmth between us was palpable. It was a mixture of emotions that I couldn't fully decipher.As I lay there, trying to catch my breath, as I moved a little my body came in contact with Eva's body again and I couldn't help but notice how Eva's body still radiated heat. My heart was pounding, and wiped a bead of sweat from my forehead. The room felt stifling, and I needed to clear my head. What had just happened between us was passionate?Eva stirred beside me and her body seemed to get warmer. I glanced at her, wondering what she was thinking. Did she feel the same mix of emotions I did? Or was she just as confused as I was about where we stood?The moonlight filtered through the window, casting an ethereal glow upon the room. It was a full moon and the beautiful moon made the room half visible. Her breaths heavy, and I could feel the warmth of h
