Eva The place Nox wanted to take me to was away from the warehouse. The two of us were in the car. I didn’t say a word to him. I even stared out the window to avoid looking at him; I was furious. And it didn’t help that my body hummed when I was next to him. I made a mental note to remind him that there was no reason why he couldn’t reject me. My anger caused me to get lost in my thoughts one too many times. As a result, I didn’t really pay close attention to where we were going. I was surprised when he parked the car outside a place that said ‘Grayson’s Café’. I glanced at him uncertainly. “This is where I come whenever I feel like taking a break from everything,” he told me. “The food is great.”I’d never eaten in a place that was like a restaurant before. I was taken aback by this because I thought we’d go somewhere private to talk. I wasn’t sure I’d be able to stay calm when I spoke to him about everything that had been brewing inside of me for days now. We got out of the ca
Eva Nox and I left right away. I didn’t feel safe, not even when we were in the car and driving away from the café. I had this feeling like I was exposed, being followed, or something similar. “So, you’re saying that woman tried to kill you? Why?”“They were rogues and formed this pack near Silver Crescent. I don’t remember their name. She was the Luna, and the man next to her was the Alpha’s brother, I believe. He came into my room one day, scared me, and Cyrus just attacked him. This caused problems, naturally, and the next thing we knew, they bombed the gates down and took me into the woods. A man tried to drown me. She got away. Cyrus tried to follow them to bring justice but they’d gone to—”I hated as I tried to remember what he’d said exactly. I couldn’t. “They’d crossed someone’s territory. Cyrus couldn’t go there or something. He feared conflict.”Nox nodded somberly. “Did they see you?”I sighed. “I hope not. It’ll be terrible if they did.”“Well, we’re not being followed
CyrusI could hardly believe it when I received a phone call from Kolton informing me that he wanted to see me right away. A part of me was annoyed because he now thought he was my boss and could tell me what to do. On the other hand, I was extremely hopeful that he had news about Eva and didn’t want to discuss it over the phone. So, I tucked my tail between my legs and left for the city. It was a horrible hours-long drive. I couldn’t concentrate on the road and nearly drove straight into a deer crossing the road. Eva was in the forefront of my mind now, and I really hoped he’d found her. Goddess, I’d give that fucker anything for her. Anything. He could take what he wanted. All I wanted was my mate back. I had to stop for a few hours to take a leak and have something to eat. As I leaned against the side of the car, my phone began ringing. I answered it with the hand that didn’t have a sandwich in it. It was Brock. “What’s up?” I asked. “Wanted to know how you were doing. You wer
EvaThe matter with the Rogue Luna was forgotten and it was a relief when I woke up one morning, two days after the unfortunate event, not thinking about her. After washing up in the bathroom, I went to have breakfast in the kitchen along with everyone else. Today it was scrambled eggs and a side of toast. Some people chose to have bacon but I skipped that. I washed it down with a cup of black coffee and felt energized. When was the last time I actually had breakfast?Since my days were mostly uneventful, I had plenty of time to kill until…well, I had time to kill in general. Not having much to do came with its advantages, too. I didn’t have to worry about unnecessary things and could focus on whatever I wanted. Lately, I’d been thinking about going back to praying. I didn’t have my prayer book with me but it wasn’t really necessary as I knew the prayers by heart. Keeping the prayer book was mostly a force of habit. The issue was that I didn’t feel clean enough to pray. I needed a
Eva Once the shock of that awful incident passed, I found it easy to forget about it. It wasn’t that easy; every time I swallowed, I was reminded of it. However, I took comfort in the fact that I did something to help him. I had no bad intentions and meant him not harm. That thought gave me peace, and it was Nox who helped me reach that point. We spent most of the day together in his office. Kyra kept checking up on me to see if I needed anything or whether I needed medication. The pain got very intense for a few hours but now, it was starting to pass. Thanks to our healing abilities, I wouldn’t have to worry about it for too long. My voice was a little hoarse but that was about it. I found a new place in the warehouse, one I suspected I would spend a lot of time in. Thankfully this time, I didn’t encounter anyone trying to kill me. This made me wonder whether my life would always be like this. Would there always be people trying to kill me? My mother kept me hidden in the Conv
CyrusI was sick and tired of this shit.Kolton Underwood was officially one of the worst people I’d ever encountered. It wasn’t even that I’d seen him commit some gruesome crime because nothing he could do to another human being would scare me. I myself happened to be a ruthless man, and I had to do some things to people when I became Alpha, people who were after me and my position. People who wanted to fuck me over and drag my family name through the mud. I wasn’t proud of those things, but that didn’t mean I wouldn’t do it all over again. I wouldn’t let anyone take away what was mine, and I was someone who would always fight till the death. The reason why I said Kolton was horrible was because of his cynicism. If I wasn’t sure that he wouldn’t stand me before, I was sure of it now. Yet he kept me close and always tried to make sure I was comfortable. He’d send his daughter Leonora to my room to find out what I wanted but I knew it was all a tactic. He was hoping I would fall int
EvaNox’s kisses were taking me to a place of no return. They were all I could think of. Even while kissing him, all I could think about was kissing him. What sense did that make? His body was flush against mine, and his lips claimed mine in a dizzying way. Whenever his tongue darted into my mouth, I felt weak in the knees. If it weren’t for his arm around my waist, I would’ve fallen by now. The more he kissed me, the more I wanted. All sense fled my mind, and all I could focus on was this, regardless of whether it was wrong or not. I grabbed his shirt and kept the material tightly in my fist. Feeling the skin underneath his shirt was exhilarating. Any contact between us was otherworldly. And the longer I kissed him, the more I wanted…more. Only kissing wasn’t enough. Things escalated fairly quickly. When his hand slid under my shirt, I knew we were reaching a point of no return. My resolve was already weak, and my instincts were taking full control of the situation now. These wer
NoxHaving Eva in my arms was a feeling like no other. For nights, I’d been dreaming of this moment. I fantasized it every time I found myself distracted. Everything I was wished to claim her, and now that she was here with me, with her fingers in my hair and her tongue submitting to mine, I felt like I was in heaven. I picked her up and carried her to my desk. I would’ve taken her to my room but it was too far and anyway, I had no privacy there. The walls were too thin, and it was too close to other rooms. Earlier, I had sensed her hesitance. But this time, there was none. I put her down on the desk, my hands roaming her body. She was so perfect. I couldn’t stop touching her. I slowly peeled her shirt off her body. Eva raised her hands, assisting me in undressing her. What was this newfound change? Where did it come from? As I asked myself this, I realized that I wasn’t a proud man. On the contrary. She’d rejected me earlier right when we were in the middle of things but I didn’t
