Zachary’s POV:“Take me to the Alpha.” The words sounded more of a command.And one that stuck to me as my feet suddenly moved on their own accord.It was almost as if her command worked.But how is that possible?I moved to grab her with the intention of putting her in my truck when she immediately, stepped out of reach.I couldn’t help the pained look that’s now probably sealed into my eyes. Perhaps forever. So long as she looks at me with that deep-seated hatred in her eyes.The only time I’m going to get out of this habit is when she finally says she forgives me.After all, she knows just as much as I do that you only get one mate in this lifetime. If you’re lucky, the goddess will provide you with a second chance mate.But no one’s ever heard of receiving a second chance mate since decades ago. So to say, there’s a mere, one percent chance we’ll ever get another mate. It is the goddess that passes judgement on whether you deserve to be given one after rejecting the one she’s give
Evvie’s POV:This is a mistake.As soon as the car made it twenty feet past the damn border, the shivers running up and down my spine splayed across my skin.“Evvi—”Before he could finish, I whipped my head so fast and pinned him with my murderous glare. My aura slipped and leaked from the tip of my fingers to the strand of my hair, but I had no intention on suppressing my wrath underneath a cold stare.Something I learned to unlearn so long ago.“Vi.” He corrected, clearing his throat.I ceased with the murderous gaze and averted my eyes, not wanting to get lost in his for far too long.Or I will lose everything I’ve worked so hard to build all these years. And that includes me. Myself, the person I strived so hard to become.Vana kept to herself all this time, and I have been wondering what she was thinking all this while.If returning to this pack and meeting Duncan after all these years, took a toll on her. I could feel his wolf was trying to link with her. But she’s either too t
Evvie’s POV:The truth.He told me everything.How everything was apparently orchestrated by Gabriel and Brenda from the start. It turns out they were destined mates. A scoff escaped my lips. It’s not surprising that wannabe douchebag of an alpha was mated to that lying, conniving, pretentious bitch. They’re perfect together. It was Gabriel’s plan to blame the pregnancy on him. Hearing that, I wanted to laugh. Still terrified of his father, as always.He told me how it made sense he didn’t remember anything that night. He was drugged, and made a fool of by making him think he slept with her just because she was butt-naked when he woke up lying next to her in bed.I could very well see the way his hands trembled in anger as he recollected the day he found out the truth. It happened over a year ago, and eventually, he moved out. When he finished telling his story, I pulled my teeth over my lower lip, not knowing what to say. Neither opened their mouth to speak, much less bre
Logan's POVABOUT AN HOUR AGO"She called?" I asked as I stared out the window."Yes, Alpha." Ethan, my new Gamma and apparently my runaway luna's brother, answered. "She's finally coming back."A soft smile played on lips."I would very much like to see who this cupcake is in person." Carlos, my loyal beta and right-hand man, commented.I didn't respond but kept a stoic face, despite the headache induced by Tristan jumping up and down in my head.We were headed to the Winter Mist Pack. I had traveled back to my principal Pack, the Shadow Blood Pack, to retrieve some of my belongings and speak to the Alpha-in-charge.Once that was done, I couldn't wait to be back.I waited so long for this moment.Five years ago, I danced with a woman. Raven dark hair, stark silver eyes, and a curvy body I couldn’t forget. She's the whole package.At first, I felt an attraction to her. One I couldn't resist. It didn't feel so strong as to make me think she was my mate, but it was an attraction nonethe
Logan’s POV:STILL IN THE PAST…His eyes scanned me suspiciously. I continued walking, half-expecting him to lurch at me once he realizes I belonged to neither of the packs that gathered here.But he never did as I got back to my room without fail.I know I had no scent. It was the work of a witch that enabled me to enter packs with no ties to the Shadow Blood Pack.I have one mission.Infiltrate the pack, steal their information, then prepare my warriors for ambush.I know I play dirty, but I bet you wouldn’t call it that when you learn all the dirty shit that comes in and out of this pack.The Winter Mist Pack is at the top of my list of packs to ambush and conquer.My name is Logan Reed.I am the Alpha of the Shadow Blood Pack. We are especially known as notorious, ruthless, and vile wolves who move in the shadows before shedding the blood of our enemies. We attack through the darkness the night brought forth, and we always end up gaining the winning hand. Always.
Zachary’s POV:I waited as the slow, grueling seconds ticked by.It was only when she opened her mouth to speak did I let myself breathe.“I don’t know, Zach.” She’d said.I smiled painfully, giving her a nod.“I understand.”Then I whipped around and locked eyes with her.“But I’m not giving up.”I won’t.The goddess gave me this chance.I’m not about to fuck it up.. . .I jumped out of the truck and made my way quickly to the other side, opening the door for her.She gave me a quizzical look. Her beautiful silver eyes I grew obsessed with sparkled delightfully, my heart stopped.My eyes lowered to her lips, parting slightly.Oh how I missed those lips.Right then and there, I wanted to whisk her off her feet and carry her straight to my bed.I wanted to make love to her, despite knowing she’d made love to someone else that night I ran into her in my hotel.The night she disappeared and took my heart along with her.I’d never forgiven myself for letting that happen.But right now, f
Evvie's POV:“Don’t be sad, Evvie.” Zachary, my smoking hot and soon-to-be beta boyfriend, soothed me. I pouted, crossing my arms against my breasts. We were in my room. Seated on my bed, I pursed my lip as Zachary plopped down beside me.“I promise I’ll be back before you know it. I’ll only be gone for a few months.” He said as an attempt to comfort me.“You mean six long, agonizing months of me not being able to see you.” I rolled my eyes, refusing to meet his eyes. “Why can’t they let you use your phone during training?” I grumbled, folding my arms against my breasts.He chuckled and ruffled my hair. “Because we need to focus on training, silly.”I slapped his hand away, shooting him a glare. I hate it when he does that.“Evvie, please. I need to get going in just an hour. I can’t even get a hug?” He pouted like a child. His eyes are too dreamy to resist.Rolling my eyes, I scooted closer and pressed my body against him, giving him a hug.“Hmm.” He inhaled my scent and a smile playe
Evvie’s POV:“Evvie, I can explain.” He barely whispered. And I could see pain in his eyes.But what for? It was all too late.I shook my head. I was at a loss for words when Ethan, my brother who was older than me for two years, blocked Zachary from my sight. His large frame towered over me but for once, I was glad he was taller. Just so I could hide my eyes nearing to burst into tears any second.“You’ve done enough, Zach.” My brother said sternly. He is also the future gamma of our pack. Winter Mist Pack. Zachary the future beta and Gabriel the future alpha.They were the hot trio that filled my high school days with both annoyance and thrill.I was always with them, at first as Ethan’s little sister. Then I became Zach’s good little girlfriend.Until now.“Brother, let me talk to her.” He growled, sounding angry. It appalled me that he had the nerve to be angry in this situation.Ethan shifted his stance, shielding me from him protectively.“I said enough!” he barked.I heard Zach
