… Eva's pov…I landed on the floor and looked around, taking in my surroundings. The night was drawing near and the only sounds that could be heard were the chirping of birds and insects. As I walked past a window on the tip of my toes, I heard moaning coming from inside. The sound made me wrinkle my nose in disgust, and I quickly hurried past it, wondering who could be making such noises. Suddenly, I heard the window behind me open and a man with a bare chest jumped out. His appearance was disheveled, and he began to chase after me. Without knowing where I was heading, I started to run as fast as I could. My heart was pounding in my chest and my breath was coming out in short gasps.I ran towards a dark corner and as I turned to look back, I saw the man was already close to me. I could smell the reek of alcohol from his mouth and breath, which only added to my terror. As I looked at him, I felt as if I had slowed down, unable to move as quickly as I needed to.Fear and panic washed
… Eva pov …The door of my office flew open, and I sharply turned to see Miles rushing in without knocking. “Sorry, I didn't knock,” he said, his tone hurried and tense.“Is what I am hearing true?” Robert asked, his face etched with worry lines. “What did you hear? Eva?” I sighed, knowing exactly what he was referring to.“Yes, it is, but she will be fine,” I reassured him, trying to sound confident even though I couldn't be sure of anything.Miles shook his head and sat down in the chair in front of my desk. “What are you going to do?” he asked. “What are you going to do if she doesn't make it? How will you explain it to her family?”I felt a pang of anxiety in my chest. I had been so focused on ensuring Eva's recovery that I hadn't thought about what would happen if the worst-case scenario came true. “We're not going to entertain that possibility,” I said firmly, trying to sound convincing even though I was trembling inside.Miles's face darkened, and he leaned forward in his chair
… Nate's pov…Nate took Eva's hands, feeling the coldness that sent a shiver down my spine. I sighed, my heart heavy with concern, and shook my head gently. “Alpha, she needs rest,” the doctor had said, and I knew he was right. Eva had been through so much, and it was evident in her exhausted state.I suggested to Alpha that we should go to the office to talk about Eva's condition. We required a quiet place where we could discuss the next steps without any interruptions. Alpha nodded in agreement, understanding the gravity of the situation, and we made our way out of the room.Walking through the corridors, I couldn't help but notice that it was unusually quiet. The usually bustling hospital seemed strangely empty. However, my focus remained on Eva and her well-being. As we approached the office, I could feel a mix of anxiety and anticipation building up within me.Pushing open the doors, we entered the office and closed the door behind us, creating a sense of privacy. The room had a
… Nate's pov…I nodded and left, my steps silent as I descended the hospital stairs. The weight of the recent events lingered in the air, and a heavy silence enveloped me as I made my way towards the parking lot. Thoughts swirled through my mind, filled with worry and a longing for her to recover so as not to create any friction in the pack when the public gets to know what happened. The engine hummed softly as I navigated the familiar streets. At that moment, it felt more confused than ever before.On the way, my phone beeped, drawing my attention to a notification. I glanced at the screen, and a sigh escaped my lips as I read the message. “Meet me at Grab a Drink Bar.” It was from Eva's family head, a name that instantly made my heart palpitate with unease, Elder ken.Thoughts raced through my mind, wondering what could have prompted this unexpected request. Could he have caught wind of what happened? The possibility weighed heavily on my heart, stirring up a mix of anxiety and ap
… Nate's pov…I glanced at Elder Ken, his weathered face displaying a mix of curiosity and amusement. “I will see what I can do about that,” I assured him, nodding my head.“Oh then that's ok” he said, taking a sip from his cup, beaming at me with a smile.“I want to get going, sire. Nice meeting you,” I said, rising from my seat. The man nodded in acknowledgment, and I couldn't help but offer a friendly smile. “Have a good day," I added before turning away.I turned my back and made my way out of the establishment, the man's voice reached me once more. “You have barely touched your drink, Nate,” he pointed out, gesturing toward the untouched cup in front of me. I sighed, feeling a twinge of guilt. “It's alright, sorry about that. I've got something to do,” I replied, my mind. I so wanted to leave this place. I walked briskly towards the garage where my car awaited. It was a sleek, black machine, and just the sight of it gave me a surge of adrenaline. I hopped into the driver's seat,
…Nate's pov…Lost in the depths of our shared passion, I surrendered to the intoxication of the moment. Time seemed to stand still as our bodies intertwined, our desires intertwining and reaching new heights. Pleasure surged through every nerve ending, erasing the worries and responsibilities that had burdened me only moments before. Every touch, every kiss, held an intensity that was both exhilarating and comforting. At that moment, it was just us, two souls entwined in a dance of desire.As our bodies moved in synchrony, the weight of the world lifted from my shoulders, leaving only the raw, unfiltered emotions that bound us together. In that passionate embrace, the boundaries between us dissolved, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the intoxicating bliss of the present.Minutes or hours passed—it was impossible to tell. Time became inconsequential as we surrendered to the undeniable force that drew us closer, forging a connection that transcended the constraints of the outs
… Eva'pov…My eyes slowly opened, and I was immediately hit with an overwhelming wave of discomfort. Colors flashed into my eyes, and everything around me seemed to be a blinding white. I heard the sounds of beeping and felt an ache in my head that seemed to reverberate throughout my entire body. I tried to make out where I was, but my head seemed to be twirling in circles, making it difficult to focus.Taking a glance around, I could see that I was in a hospital room. The white walls were stark and sterile, and there were numerous machines and pieces of equipment scattered around the room. I tried to move, but my body felt heavy and unresponsive. I looked at myself as I was lying in a hospital bed, and I was hooked up to all sorts of machines and tubes.The walls were painted in a soothing white color, a gentle shade that seemed to invite relaxation, bathing the room in a comforting ambiance. The centerpiece of the room was the bed, an oasis of comfort and support. It was larger th
…Nate's pov…I slammed my hands on the table as I stood up, my anger boiling over. Robert frowned too, and I could feel the weight of my aunt's gaze as she sensed my anger. But it was Mr. Kimball who held my attention. I stared hard at him, my eyes burning with fury. “Go on, do it,” he said, his voice mocking and condescending. His words only fueled the fire within me. My aunt suddenly stood up, her actions speaking louder than words. “You know what, let's call it off today and rearrange,” she declared, signaling for me to follow her outside. I stood there, unmoving, unfazed by their attempts to defuse the situation. My eyes continued to blaze with anger, my entire been radiating an alpha aura that seemed to oppress everyone in the room. A bead of sweat rolled down Mr. Kimball's face, a visible sign of his discomfort.With a subtle movement of her eyes, Aunt Mae gestured to Robert, who understood her silent command. He stood up while she took hold of my hand, tugging me towards the
… 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
