EVANGELINEI thought dressing up well would help me cover my emotions, but when I entered the meeting room with Markus, I realized that it was a mistake. His emerald eyes stared at me as if he could look into my soul and hear every beat of my heart. “What is she doing here?” He looked at Markus and the guy smiled. “She is the one who should be here. You want me to not take her to Underworld, but don’t you think her opinion regarding this also matters?” He said and Lucien narrowed his eyes. He propped his elbows against the table and rested his chin flat on his hands. “I see. I don’t think her opinion matters because you are the one who approached her. She wouldn’t have thought of it if you didn’t plant the seed in her head. So in a way, you are the one who I should be talking to. Not her.” He said in a calm voice and the way he had an air of aloofness around him, it pricked my skin. He was always so calm and composed when I was a total mess. Didn’t serve right. “That is a good poi
MIAEvangeline was shocked for a moment, her jaw hanging after I confessed what I had been trying to deny for so long. But after Markus asked Eva, I felt this pang of pain and jealousy hit my chest like a hammer. I couldn’t avoid the feeling and lashed out at my best friend for no good reason.It was a mistake I would repent for my entire life.“Um…when did you realize that he is your mate?” She asked after clearing her throat.“I knew when I first saw him. Snow started acting weird and horny, but I kept telling her to stay in place.” I sighed as I looked down at the floor, “I can’t believe that he had to be my mate out of all the people I met in my life. I thought someone else would be my mate.”She raised a brow, “Sean?”I nodded. I wished it was him, but my fate seemed to be a bitch.She shrugged, “I wished it was him too. You two would have looked great together. But now it all makes sense. You were annoyed at him from the very beginning because you kind of knew that he was your m
MIA I didn’t reply and my silence stretched for a total of five agonizing minutes before Markus spoke again. “Okay, let me get this straight. I am not interested in Evangeline.” He said and I stared at him with a confused look. “I don’t get it. Then why did you—” I stopped, realizing that my asking him why he wanted to take her to the event would come out as me being jealous. I didn’t want to give him that satisfaction. Not until I knew what his goal was. “Why are you telling me this? I don’t remember asking you why you did what you did.” A corner of his lips curled into a knowing smirk, “Yes, but you did fight your best friend because you were jealous.” He said and my eyes widened in horror. “How—” I looked around to check if anyone was listening to our conversation and whispered, “How did you know? Were you spying on us?!” He shrugged and pointed at his left ear, “Super senses, remember? Everyone knows that you two had a fight. Also, your voice wasn’t exactly on low volume when
MIA"It's simple. If Lucien and Evangeline get together, they will fight against theOrder and we will be able to break rules that bind us and control who we can be with. Then it will be easy for me to mate with you." Markus explained and I thought about his explanation for a minute before nodding in agreement. "I get it. But isn't it going to be dangerous?" He shrugged, "Do you think Evangeline is safe?" I gasped, "What do you mean?" "The Order have their eyes on her. She holds immense power as she's the daughter of Asphalt and Alpha Dominic. Lucien has been trying to protect her for years, but I think she doesn't need protection. What she needs is her mate to be at her side and believe in her strength. Also, I know Lucien very well. He is going to go nuts if they both reject the mate bond. I can't let that happen." "So…you think your plan will work?" I asked with a hint of doubt in my voice and he smiled. "Honestly, I don't know. But if anything triggers our Demon King the mos
EVANGELINE“You look so good!” Mia jumped in excitement as she took in my appearance. Hera nodded, “I told you both. This dress and makeup would go perfectly with her. Black and purple is so your color, darling.” She patted my shoulder and I faced the mirror. We were inside Hera’s room and she said she had good knowledge of what to wear in Underworld. I expected the clothes to be bold, but not this bold. I was wearing a short, silky black dress with a deep neckline that showed my cleavage quite well. The chest portion was made out of an intricately designed black net which was half-covered with the black fabric just right above my nipples. The dress was quite high above my knees and I was grateful for the fishnet stocking I wore. But what was the highlight of the look was the purple mask with a black feather on it. Hera said that some people there opted for masks and it was a safer option since my identity wouldn’t be revealed completely. I accessorized the look with a pair of sma
EVANGELINE"I'm sorry." Markus spoke out of the blue beside me while we traveled in the car. I looked at him with a confused look. He shrugged, "I kind of pushed you into this. I should have known that Lucien can be stubborn when he wants to be. I didn't expect him to bring Tehila as his guest of the night." Tehila. That was the slut's name who was clinging on to him like a wet, dirty chewing gum. I realized how territorial Mia had felt when Markus invited me to the event. I hadn't even known Tehila and I already wanted to scourge her eyes out for looking at him with lust. But he was not mine in the first place. Never was. And maybe never would be. The thought made a dense feeling settle on my chest. I exhaled and looked through the tinted window, "It's not your fault. I just can't do anything to make him feel for me. I tried but I can't force him to want me.""Oh, believe me, he wants you like crazy. I'm not saying this to assure you. I have known him for a long time and the thin
EVANGELINEMusic pulsated in my ears as I stepped inside the club with Markus on my side. The place looked like any regular club with people rubbing their bodies against each other, a corner particularly designated for the bar where the bouncers juggled with fire-lit bottles and the smell of sweat mixed with perfume. "Is this the event?" I shouted on top of my lungs for Markus to hear as the music was loud. "You don't have to shout. I have good senses, remember? And come with me." He pointed at the direction of the bar and I followed him, maneuvering my way past the swarm of sweaty bodies dancing like it was their last day. As we reached the bar counter, Markus muttered something to the bartender which I couldn't hear. He rested his arm against the bartop and looked at me, "This is not where the event is held. But before we get there…" The bartender returned with shot glasses. I frowned and Markus responded before I could ask, "Guessed you might need these before we step into the
EVANGELINEI raised a brow at him, keeping my face as rigid as possible. "Will it change your decision if I say that it is?" I asked and he narrowed his eyes that were dark with anger. "No." He said under his breath and without asking a second time, he sat right beside me. I pulled away from him but realized that I had hit a wall and he had practically cornered me in the booth. Tehila strutted towards us and her face turned grim as she saw that our seat in the booth was already occupied. She had no choice but to sit next to Markus across the table. It wasn't hard to tell that she didn't like it. I looked at Lucien once before turning my gaze towards the dance floor. I wanted to ask why he was sitting here but I was too tired of such stupid, unnecessary questions. I knew I couldn't evoke any feelings inside him. I had given up on us. But the drumming of my heart beat and his strong scent occupied my senses completely. I couldn't even focus on anything significant. "Didn't expect y
I have a new book out for you all to read : ADORED BY MY RUTHLESS ALPHA Please give it a try and I hope you will enjoy it too. I can't believe we are finally at the end of this book.

Those were like a ray of hope admist the darkness for
LUCIEN I made sure everything was close to perfection. This day was extremely special since Eva and I were finally getting…married. We had been staying together like staying in a live-in-relationship after I confessed my feelings for her, but that wasn’t enough for both of us. I knew deep down that I wanted to start…a family? The word didn’t sit well with me. I wasn’t ready to share Eva with anyone yet. Call me selfish or whatever. I didn’t care. I wasn’t interested in being friends with her pack either. But if those people made her happy, then I was willing to act like I liked them. And that was why there was so much noise inside the hall of my packhouse. There were so many fucking people and none of them could keep their mouth shut for once! I swear if they weren’t excited for our wedding, I would have shoved all of them into the dungeon. “Need a drink?” Markus asked as he stood beside me in a black tuxedo. “I’m fine,” I said, my face contorted in a scowl. “I don’t want to
EVANGELINEI took a deep breath before entering the large hall where everyone was waiting for me. Today I was going to get crowned as the ruler of the three realms. After we destroyed the Order and Azazel, peace was brought back to not just the Underworld but even the Earth and the heavens. Our pack house was destroyed so dad had to rebuild it from scratch. Initially, it was painful to see the house which held all our memories being replaced but as time went by, we realized that the house itself didn't matter. It was our memories that kept it alive. So we all worked together to build a new home where we would create new memories. We had help from the Underworld as well as the Emerald Gem pack and in a month, we had a brand new packhouse with better facilities. Even the training grounds were improved and we established a camp for any refugees from different realms who had been casted out of their pack. The entire process was a lot like therapy. The scars I had from my past experienc
EVANGELINELatsyrc? Wasn’t it the name of the Goddess of the three realms? But why did she call me that? Or was she calling someone else? “Eva!” I heard Lucien’s voice and snapped back into reality. My eyes fluttered open and I saw a pair of beautiful emerald eyes staring back at me with concern. “Fuck!” He said and embraced me in a tight hug. What…happened? I thought I was dead and in heaven. I guess heaven rejected my application because of all the smut I read. “Luc…are you okay?” My voice sounded hoarse as I asked, feeling his warmth engulf me. Well, this was no less than heaven. “You pulled me out of his mind control,” Lucien whispered and I remembered something from the strange dream I had. I looked down at his shoulder and my jaw dropped when I saw my mark on him. Did I really mark him?!! “I never thought it would happen this way. You are always full of surprises, my sweet Eva and Crystal.” He said and kissed my neck and Crystal howled in happiness as her name was finally t
EVANGELINEI sighed in relief as I saw my sexy man standing like a king on the aisle, his eyes glowing with rage. I was worried that something had happened to him and when I saw the cuts and bruises on his body, I realized that he was fighting Azazel. Calhoun scoffed, “Couldn’t you have waited a little longer? I would have married her by then and you could have enjoyed the wedding cake. So impatient.” Lucien narrowed his eyes and I felt his aura get more intense as he said, “Oh, but I do have some gifts for you. Want to see?” He raised his hand and a dark sparkling globe appeared on top of his palm. He charged the globe straight at Calhoun who dodged it, but when the globe hit the raised platform it bursted like an atom bomb, throwing both of us to the other side of the church. I had squinted my eyes in fear and when I opened them, I saw Lucien holding me in his arms. I could finally feel my arms and legs. Oh thank the Goddess. Or maybe the Demon King. “Sorry I got late. That bast
MIAI was able to stop the asshole from using his mind control, making the rest who were under his spell snap out of it. Markus’s wolf shook its head as it came back to reality and Sean’s wolf froze mid air when it realized that it was going to charge itself on its luna and dropped onto the floor. Lol, that was funny. Sean immediately got up and bowed to aunt Avery. I guess he was saying sorry for his actions. David, on the other hand, changed his direction of attack and went straight towards Aston who was fighting dad. I mind linked with Markus, “I will go get the dagger. Take care of this situation.” I didn’t wait for his response as I kicked Simon’s unconscious body to the side and ran towards the door. “Wait.” Markus spoke in my head and before I could break the door with sheer force, he jumped first and broke the door. He stood at the other end of the broken door and looked at me, “Leave the wrecking stuff to me.” I wanted to retort but since we had no time, I ran ahead with
This is an apology note to all of you who had been reading this book. I am sorry for not being able to update chapters frequently and make you all wait for so long. I don't want to provide any excuses because you all have been so kind and supportive, so it makes me feel terrible to not give updates frequently. But I want to be honest with you all and the reality is that I am having extreme mental breakdowns lately that is causing me to self sabotage, leading to constantly question whether I am writing well enough or not. As you can all see, the story is coming to an end and I want the conclusion to be well written and not seem like its rushed. So I just have a small request. Please keep this book in your library. This book will be finished, no matter how many breakdowns I have and I promise to deliver a good ending that binds everything together. Meanwhile, you can read my other stories if you want to. All I can request right now from you all is to lend me some time, but its totally
MIA“She is so pretty. I love your hair. ” I commented and Dayna smiled. “I recently dyed it. Last time it was platinum blonde.” She said, brushing her hair once and my eyes glittered. She had an intimidating aura but had a calm personality. Before walking out of the cell, I kicked Sean and David on their asses and they both jolted upright. Sean’s hair was all over his face as he panted for air. “What happened? Did we die?” “Not yet.” Dad said and Sean and David exchanged glances before getting up. “Who is she?” David pointed at Dayna, glaring at her. He probably caught on her demonic aura. “We can do the introductions later. Time is running out.” Dayna said in a serious tone and we walked in a line down the hall of the dimly lit dungeon. Two cloaked figures rounded the corner and approached us. I was about to attack them but then I caught on a familiar scent. “Jan!” Dad shouted and ran up to the cloaked figure, enveloping mom in a hug. The hood fell off her face and mom hugged
EVANGELINEI screamed in joy when I realized that I had shifted. I had finally shifted! I couldn’t believe this! “Yes! Now I can finally breathe!” Crystal yelled and inhaled the fresh air. She looked at the army of wolves who had stopped when they saw me. Azazel looked taken aback by my transformation. Crystal growled at the wolves, challenging them to come at us. Azazel was wrong. I wasn’t Lucien’s weakness. I was his strength. He may have lost a ton of his men, but today I would act as if I was equal to a thousand wolves. “You don’t listen, do you?” Lucien spoke from the back and I felt his hand on my fur, caressing it. “Well, no. I don’t even listen to dad.” I retorted. He was going to get an earful from me later on. What the hell did he think of me? I wasn’t some damsel in distress who needed to be protected. Even if I had died today, I would have still fought for him. “You are beautiful.” He whispered against our fur and Crystal nudged his face with her snout. “You two are
