I was quite surprised to see Xavier, to say the least.Worst part about it, the idiot actually helped me.He didn’t notice me leave the room to get my phone, since he was on a call.I noticed my phone wasn’t on the couch where I left it, but it was on the table. The most recent call I had was from Jake. Had he called again?“Xavier!” I yelled. He came out holding the tray and moved down the stairs.“Yeah?”“When did Jake call?” I placed my hands on my hips, waiting for an explanation. Just because I was cursed to have him as my mate and we were getting married did not give him the right to involve himself in my life, and I needed him to know that.“Oh, yeah.” He said, walking into the kitchen. I followed
I’m angry.Furious, even.Tyler is staring back at me with a wild expression and a gaping mouth. “Evelyn? -““It’s Eve.” I snapped and pushed past him into the house. Just like I remembered, I made my way to Xavier’s room and set my suitcases aside.The room was clean, thankfully, and it smelled like coffee and peppermint. It smelled like Xavier.I felt like taking a soak, so I stripped, grabbed my towel and pj’s, then entered the bathroom with my scented soap.Halfway through my bath, I heard the door open and close, I knew it was Xavier from the smell, so I wasn’t bothered. I lay in there, thinking about how messed up my life had become. I had to come back to the same people that tortured me. I already knew that Elena and Ajax would come back and try to paw off more information from me; about my powers, and my ‘parents’
BOOM!A loud noise woke me from my sleep. Xavier was already up and slipping on a shirt.“Eve, stay in here. I mean it. Don’t come out.” Mindlessly, I nodded. I watched him rush out sof the room, and the thumping of boots.Yells and shouts erupted, and they only got louder each second. I could hear guns going off, and the Photia pack cry made the walls vibrate.We were at war.Not the first time I was disobeying Xavier, and it definitely wouldn’t be the last. I jumped out of bed and slipped on a pair of slippers, grabbing the door. I twisted, turned, pushed and pulled, but the door didn’t budge.The idiot locked the door!The windows were locked too, there was no way out. How am I going to get out? My breathing became heavy as anxiety made it’s way up my throat.Red.All I could see was red.My eyes closed for a short second, but when I opened them again, I was st
…Xavier…Damn it, this crazy girl. I warned her. I told her exactly, don’t come outside. But does Eve listen? No, she doesn’t she never does.And now I’m just going to have to make her listen.No matter how hard it’ll be.I took her to the pack doctor, and he mumbled something about her body needing to revive itself. Well, it’s been two days, and she’s still not awake. I’d been at the hospital throughout the time, and I noticed she’d been mumbling stuff I couldn’t quite make out.“…dark, dark dark…” She’d say, then go quiet again. Little did I know, it was the start of something dangerous.***A few days after, Eve woke up. Something was off though; her eyes weren’t their usual color. They were a lot darker. The doctor examined her and noted it, but felt it was because they were closed for quite a while. I di
XavierBlake’s body was taken out of the house quickly after, and burial arrangements were made. Later that night, I trudged up the stairs and entered my room to see Eve with tears in her eyes, and a few leaking onto her cheeks.She lifted her head up to look at me. “He’s dead, isn’t he?” She whispered. She was sitting on the bed and hugging her knees. “I saw the… the stretcher and they-” Her breathing caught in her throat, and she wheezed, crying.For a few moments, I simply stood at the door of the darkroom, watching her. Then my feet moved on their own accord, and I put my arms around her and wrapped her in a hug. She wrapped her hands around my neck and cried into my shirt.“He wasn’t supposed to die.” She mumbled. “He wasn’t supposed to-“Thinking about it, I remembered that she didn’t know him for that long. But then she spoke again. “I r
Xavier After Elder Markus left, I waited for Eve in the living room, and Sebastian, my best friend, walked in. “Hey.” He nodded to me, and we shook hands. We hadn’t really been able to talk much since Eve arrived because I told him I needed to have some time with her first. That, he understood. His mate, Selena died a couple of months before, and he was trying to get used to the single life again. “How are you holding up?” I asked him, looking at the dark circles that colored his eyes. “Meh.” He shrugged, sitting down on the opposite couch. “How’s Evelyn?” “Don’t call her that.” I quickly said. He looked at me with confusion. “Her name’s Eve.” “Well okay.” He chuckled. “Her name’s only used in some kinky stuff?” He wiggled his eyebrows. “No-“ “Well, not unless you’re using it on me.” Eve’s voice came. She materialized in a black crop top, a mini skirt and thigh high boot
CHAPTER THIRTEEN At the movies, Eve had a smile on her face throughout. She looked like a kid in a candy store. After I paid for the popcorn, drinks and tickets, we walked into the almost empty theatre. During the movie, she was as quiet as a mouse. At the littlest movement, she would snap her eyes to me and hush me, with her nose scrunched up. It was adorable. At the part where the main character cut off a guy’s head, my arms were wide open for her to jump in, but I found out that I was the one screeching like a girl. She laughed at me for a full two minutes, and tears leaked from her eyes. Annoying thing was, whenever the laughter died down, she’d look at me then burst into laughter again. When the screen credits rolled out, we left the theatre and headed home. Eve had a small frown on her face. “Why the frown?” I asked, looking at her through the mirror. She shook her head. “Nothing much, my fingers hurt for
Xavier… I shot up from my chair, my heart thumping hard. No, no no. “I’ll call you back, mom.” I rushed out, ending the call. Thalia can’t be dead… right? Elena was practically vibrating, so I walked over to her slowly. “Calm down, Elena.” I said, trying to soothe her. “Take me to her room.” She nodded quickly, like a mad woman, then grabbed my arm. I let myself be dragged by her because I understood that she probably couldn’t be thinking of being respectful when her best friend was just found dead. As we made our way through the corridor, solemn faces materialized all around me. The closer we got to the purple, floral painted room I spent my lonely night in, the more realistic it all felt. Thalia couldn’t be dead. I tried to pretend that Blake wasn’t brutally murdered or cursed, but now that Thalia was gone to… Pretending was getting a lot harder. It smelled like death and despair. It was like
