Evvie’s POV:I closed the door behind me, my hand lingering on the handle for a moment longer than necessary. The room was warm, welcoming even, but my mind was anything but at ease.“Call me Logan.” Logan’s words echoed softly in my mind.Why would he ask me that? Was it to make me feel more at ease? To remind me that beneath the title of Alpha, he was just a man? Or was it something else entirely?I couldn’t be sure. Everything about him was a puzzle I was still trying to piece together.I glanced around the room, taking in the plush bed, the wardrobe, and the large window that offered a breathtaking view of the forest.My apartment was nothing compared to this. And my house back at my old pack was simpler. A description far from what you’d call this fancy place of the Blood Alpha.I mean I know he’s rich. I just didn’t know he’s that rich.I walked to the window, staring out at the darkened woods, the moon casting a silvery glow over the treetops. My fingers absentmindedly traced t
Evvie’s POV:“I accept,” I said, my voice steady and unwavering.Leona’s smile widened, but there was a glint of satisfaction in her eyes that made my skin crawl. “Excellent. We’ll see just how worthy you really are.” And with a fake smile, she flicked her eyes back to Alpha Logan beside me.“I would like to set the trial for next week. Until then,” she slowly moved her eyes to look at me mischievously.“She can prepare herself accordingly.”Logan’s hand tightened into a fist on the table, but he remained silent. I knew this was as much a test for him as it was for me. He was letting me prove myself, but it was clear he wasn’t entirely comfortable with the idea.As breakfast continued, the tension only grew thicker, each bite a reminder of what had just been set. I didn’t know what Leona was thinking, because we had an agreement. I meant to talk to her about that, but I could feel her anger was seething. And it was directed entirely towards me.But I knew one thing for certain—I wasn’
Logan’s POV:With the way these omegas are staring at me right now as I stormed towards Leona’s chambers, I could easily tell a dark cloud has taken loomed onto my face.Some whimpered, baring their necks to me in submission as I passed, making me groan.I was too pissed to notice I had let my Alpha aura wash over the entire building. For goddess’ sake, I couldn’t bring myself to suppress it.Instead, I continued to march towards her room, sensing her presence. Oh she’s there alright.Shoving the door so hard it swung against the wall with a startling bang, I walked into the room.My eyes fall on Leona, who is presently sprawled on the bed in her gold silk nightgown. She was lying on her back, facing the ceiling with her one thigh lifted and the other resting on the bed. It was a sexy position, and the way dressed revealed all of her skin except the parts covered by her underwear. Slowly, she lifted her eyes to
Logan’s POV:I led Evvie away from the training grounds, our fingers intertwined. I was surprised she did not resist me when I did, and I was glad.Our steps were slow as we walked through the pack's territory. The cool breeze felt refreshing, and I noticed Evvie seemed to relax a little as we got farther from the noise created in the pack training grounds.She was quiet, her mind clearly still occupied, but I could see the curiosity in her eyes as she glanced at me every now and then.I wanted to surprise her. Wanted to show her a part of me I never showed anyone before. Besides, that way I could give her something to focus on other than the upcoming trial and intense training she had to take.As Evvie and I strolled through the forest, the wind rustling the leaves around us, I couldn’t help but steal glances at her.I admired her strength, but I also knew when someone was teetering on the edge of exhaustion. She needed a break,
Evvie’s POV:Alpha Logan, or should I say, Logan, walked with me back to the packhouse. Each time his skin grazes against mine, sparks erupt from the area he had touched.He insisted he hold my hand, and I knew it was no use to retort. As dark and tough he looks on the outside, he acts like a stubborn child when he wants physical touch. That much I learned when he took me on a litte tour in his village.Vana was all for it. Oh she loved every second of…Would you call that a date?Actually, yes. I haven’t got into a date ever since Barrak. I took a break from relationships and focused on my job.Well, until he showed up.Alpha Logan Reed. The Blood Alpha rumored to have invaded almost all of the packs in the States. Yet, I hadn’t expected him to show a side of him no one would even think he possessed. The caring, thoughtful side that genuinely wanted to create peace and unity among packs. He didn’t just invade them to impose his authority and dominance. No, it was much more than that.
CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIXEvvie’s POV:My eyes fluttered open the next morning. My body ached, especially down the depths of my core.I came for about five times last night. I haven’t noticed the time or bothered to check when I finished fantasizing about the dark alpha in my midst.Knowing his room is just beside mine made me ache even more, because I knew no matter how I wanted him, craved him, I couldn’t let him know.Today is my last day of training.Tomorrow, the trials will officially start. Leona has been walking around glaring daggers at me, and every so often I could feel her eyes digging holes at the back of my head in the training grounds.I guess she expected me to run for it when I still had time. A smirk curled at my lips.She started this, and I am going to put an end to it.I made my way to the training grounds.I was rather early. The cool morning air still crisp with the scent of pine and earth.So, I prepared myself for another grueling session when I felt a dark presence
EVVIE’S POV:There was a knock on my door the next morning. Opening it, I see one of the omegas standing hesitantly in the doorway.“Luna,” she began, her voice trembling slightly.“Leona has requested your presence in the training grounds.”So it begins.I nodded, squaring my shoulders.“Tell her I’ll be there.”The omega bowed her head and quickly made her exit.I moved fast, taking a shower and slipping on whatever was comfortable before I thrust myself in battle.Looking at my reflection in the mirror, my silver eyes gleamed brightly under the sunlight. My jet black hair was cut short stopping at my shoulders, but they were curled in a way that makes it look as if I style them everyday. I don’t. And maybe that’s why I let Pixie perform her magic when she asked me to let her perm it.How I missed those guys.In this pack, I have struggled underneath the watchful gaze of the Blood Alpha all alone. But this week, with Logan showing me his intentions, I honestly felt… safe.He told me
CHAPTER EIGHTY-EIGHTEvvie’s POV:“Look out!”Whipping my head, I was an inch away from Zachary’s fist before I quickly dodged him.I shook the memories away, trying to regain focus.This is different. This is real.I blocked his next punch and twisted, using his momentum against him. Zachary stumbled, and I took the opportunity to sweep his legs out from under him. He hit the ground hard, and I was on him in an instant, pinning him down.“Yield,” I demanded, my voice low and firm.He looked up at me, and I thought I saw his eyes soften. Just when I thought he was going to give in, a flicker of resolve hardened in his gaze, and he twisted beneath me, knocking me off balance. We both scrambled to our feet, breathing heavily.This wasn’t just a fight—it was a dance, a brutal, beautiful dance. Every move, every strike, was a conversation between us.Zachary charged at me again, but this time I was ready. I sidestepped his attack, grabbing his arm and twisting it behind his back. He groan
