… Nate's pov…“Hey, Nate,” Julie said with a coy smile, her voice laced with a hint of mischief.As Julie stood up from her chair, my heart rate quickened, my senses on high alert. I couldn't tear my eyes away from her as she made little attempt to adjust her clothing, her beautiful legs tantalizingly revealed. The way her eyes rolled in the most seductive manner and her cherry lips parted sent a surge of desire coursing through me.“Nate,” she whispered, her voice dripping with sultriness as she began to walk across the table towards me. Every step she took seemed to radiate an intoxicating energy, drawing me further into her seductive web.My mind swirled with conflicting emotions, battling against the wave of desire that threatened to consume me. I had always prided myself on maintaining professionalism, but Julie's allure tested my resolve like never.I swallowed hard, my throat dry, as I fought to maintain control over my racing thoughts.

… Julie's pov….I stormed out of the office, anger, and frustration pulsating through my veins. My heart races, and I feel the heat creeping up my cheeks. As I left, from the corner of my eyes I caught a glimpse of Nate's handsome face, momentarily mesmerized by his charm, but quickly snapped back to reality by the embarrassment washing over me. I continue walking briskly, my determination to escape the office building overpowering any lingering emotions.The towering, magnificent building stands before me, a symbol of the corporate world that has become a source of pain and heartache. It's a skyscraper that seems to reach the heavens, a stark reminder of the high expectations and pressures that have consumed my relationship with Nate. I step into the elevator and press the button to descend, eager to leave behind the memories that haunt me within those walls.As the elevator doors opened, I stride As I made my way to the car, my steps heavy with the weight of my emotions, I could fe
... Eva pov...The tension between Nate and me had been building for days, and tonight, it reached its breaking point. I had just returned home, exhausted from a long day at work, when I noticed Nate's distant demeanor. His face was etched with lines of frustration, and I could sense that something was bothering him. I took a deep breath, preparing myself for what might come.As Nate entered the room, his broad shoulders slumped under the weight of the day's exhaustion. I watched him in silence, my legs tucked beneath me on one side of the bed, as he removed his jacket with slow, deliberate movements. The room was filled with a palpable tension, a heaviness that mirrored the unspoken words between us.His gaze met mine, and he furrowed his eyebrows, confusion etching lines on his forehead. “Eva, how are you?” he asked, his voice laced with concern and genuine curiosity. It was a simple question, but at that moment, it held so much more weight than its surface-level meaning.Something
… Eva's pov….Our lips met again and lingered in a sweet and tender kiss, Nate's words danced between our breaths. “Eva,” he murmured against my lips, his voice filled with warmth and promise, “I want to take you out. Somewhere far away from here, where we can be free.”His words struck a chord deep within me, resonating with the longing that had been simmering within my heart. I yearned for more than just a simple outing; I craved freedom, the freedom to escape the weight of my responsibilities as a Luna, to break free from the chains that held me down.In that intimate moment, our bodies pressed together, I felt an overwhelming surge of emotions flooding through me. Nate's touch ignited a fire within, melting away the layers of duty and expectations that had kept me confined for far too long. I knew in my heart that there was something special between us, something worth exploring and nurturing.As our kisses deepened, our bodies swaying with a rhythm that mirrored the raw passion a
… Eva's pov…The following week, Nate and I decided to go shopping together. I was excited to have some time outside the manor, to breathe in the fresh air and see new faces. Little did I know that the shopping trip would turn out to be a bit more complicated than I had anticipated.As we entered the trendy boutique, I couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement. The colorful array of clothes and accessories beckoned, promising endless possibilities. Nate, however, seemed less enthusiastic. His brows furrowed as he scanned the racks of clothing with a critical eye.“What about this one, Nate?” I asked, holding up a floral-print dress that caught my attention.Nate glanced at it briefly before shaking his head. “Not your style, Eva. It's too bright and flowery. I think you'd look better in something more understated and elegant.”I felt a twinge of annoyance but brushed it off. After all, he had a keen sense of fashion, and I trusted his judgment. But as we continued shopping, it becam
… Eva's pov…I smiled warmly at Miles as I approached him, trying to hide the mix of nervousness and anticipation bubbling inside me. We exchanged pleasantries, our conversation casual and lighthearted, as if everything was normal. But deep down, I knew that there were things left unsaid, and it was time to address them.As we walked together down the hall, I glanced around subtly, making sure no one was nearby. The manor seemed unusually quiet, as if it was aware of the weight of our conversation. Taking a deep breath, I lowered my voice and spoke softly to Miles.“Miles, there's something I need to talk to you about,” I began, my voice barely above a whisper. “It's about the things I've noticed, the suspicions that have been gnawing at me.”Miles furrowed his brow, his gaze fixed on me. “What is it, Eva? What have you found out?”I hesitated for a moment, carefully choosing my words. “I've been observing Nate, paying closer attention to his actions and the way he behaves. And I've n
…Eva's pov…. I discreetly moved closer, my keen werewolf senses attuned to every word, I strained to listen to the conversation between Miles and Robert. Shadows concealed my presence, allowing me to remain hidden in the darkness as they spoke.Miles' voice, laced with a deceptive charm, carried on the night breeze. “Robert, my friend, I know that you desire Eva. And I can help you achieve that, but we must remove Nate from the equation. He stands in your way, doesn't he?" He asked.A frown etched itself onto my face, my heart sinking at the realization that Miles, the very pack member I once trusted, was plotting against Nate. It was a betrayal that cut deep, and the weight of the knowledge threatened to crush me. I had to hear more, to understand the full extent of their plan.Robert's voice, tinged with uncertainty, replied, “I don't know, Miles. Nate has always been a strong Alpha, respected by the pack. How can we undermine him without causing chaos?”Miles chuckled, a sound tha
… 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
