"Shift," Alpha Evan told me once we made it out of the house and had walked a few steps towards the woods.

"What?" Dumbfounded, I looked at him.

"Shift into your wolf, Melody," he explained patiently as if talking to a three year old.

I squirmed a little as he looked at me, suddenly embarrassed that I couldn't shift into my wolf.

"I, uh, can't," I managed to mumble.

"Can't? What do you mean you can't?" He asked, his voice sounding impossibly loud in the stillness of the night, making me flinch a little.

"I've... I've never shifted into my wolf," I admitted softly, looking anywhere but at him, feeling my cheeks heat up in embarrassment.

It truly was embarrassing. What twenty six year old werewolf hadn't ever shifted?

"Why not?" Alpha Evan asked, making me look up at him. I'd expected to see disgust in his expression, maybe even amusement, but he looked completely serious, if a little curious, as he looked down at me.

"I, uh, wasn't allowed to," I replied, giving him a short, wate

  • Her Villainous Mate    Chapter - 11

    The light was coming from a flower I hadn't noticed before. It was a beautiful little thing, glowing a bright blue under the moonlight. I watched entranced as more and more of those bright blue flowers I hadn't noticed before in the dim moonlight began unfurling all around us. Soon enough, we were standing in a circle with blue lit up flowers all around us, casting a warm glow on the both of us. It was a beautiful sight to behold, one I couldn't help but grin at. "This is beautiful," I admitted softly, looking around at all the numerous tiny flowers glowing all around us. "It is," came Alpha Evan's even softer reply and I looked at him, only to find him already looking at me. I felt my cheeks heat up, squirming a little under his intense gaze. "What are all these flowers? I've never seen flowers that could glow like that." "They're called nocte caeruleo. Literally translating to blue night. These are a special type of flowers that glow bright blue when they bloom at the stroke

    "Alpha Evan, let's not do this," I tried to cajole him, not knowing what else to do. The truth was too humiliating and painful for me to admit out loud. "I want answers, Melody," he told me, his voice stern. I closed my eyes, unable to look at him any longer. Not when I could see the worry for me and anger on my behalf shine so plainly on his face. "Please, look at me, kitten," his velvety smooth voice met my ears, making me open my eyes. The tenderness I saw in his gaze made my knees feek weak. And when he oh so gently placed his hand on my cheek, I was surprised I hadn't melted into a puddle on the ground, because that was exactly what I felt like doing right then. "Tell me what happened, baby," he murmured, his voice low, almost hypnotising. Trance like, I nodded, before I realised what he wanted me to tell him. The thought of reliving those old memories was like a bucket of ice cold water had been dumped onto me. I pulled back from his touch at once, wrapping my arms around m

    "And I can't decide if that was a compliment or an insult," I couldn't help but reply, both in an effort to lighten the mood and to change the topic of discussion to something that didn't weight my heart down like a tonn of bricks. "Take it as you may," Alpha Evan shrugged, still looking at me strangely. "Stop looking at me like that," I finally said fidgeting under his thoughtful gaze.Much to my chagrin, he smirked at me. As relieved as I was that he was back to smirking, and not a volcano ready to erupt at any given moment any longer, I didn't like the way he was smirking at me either. "Like what?" He asked. "Like you can't decide if you want to wrap me in your arms and never let go or go and drown me in the nearest river," I blurted out the first thing that came to my mind, regretting it almost instantly when his smirk deepened and he stepped closer to me. "I would much prefer the first option, kitten," he said, his voice low as he stalked towards me. I couldn't help but roll

    I was being dragged down the stairs to the dungeon, my frail body hitting each step with a resounding thud. I whimpered, willing myself not to let out any noise. I knew they'd only hit me more if I screamed so I didn't. Once we had reached a dingy cell, I was thrown into it unceremoniously. Too weak to get up, I simply laid there. Even breathing was a task. Then, I was suddenly being held up by my arms and tied to the silver chains mounted on the wall behind. I screamed as the silver bit into my arms, burning my flesh. I was punched in the stomach. A punishment for screaming. I didn't let out another sound, knowing it would only get me in more trouble.These men had explicit orders from my father and their Alpha that I was to be punished every time I let out a noise. "Put a sock in it, bitch," one of the soldiers spat in my face. "The Alpha will be paying you a visit soon."No sooner had he said that, Alpha Adrian's looming presence filled the small cell. He sneered at me, his gl

    The next morning when I woke up, I was alone in bed. Alpha Evan was no where to be seen. I looked out through the windows off to the side, noticing that it was day outside. Panicking a little, I lunged for the bedside clock, looking for the time. It was ten in the morning. I'd slept in. Goddess, Michel was going to skin me alive if he found out I wasn't downstairs and working. I quickly flung the covers off of me, ready to bolt towards the door when my eyes fell on the plate of food lying on the table and the small note sticking out from underneath. It was the small note that made me stop in my tracks. Hurrying towards it, I picked it up, letting my eyes skim over the neat handwriting which was without a doubt Alpha Evan's. 'Do not leave before having breakfast or I'll be upset. Also, do not worry, I've already sent the message that you will be late this morning since I kept you up till late last night - E' It was almost weird how I could picture him saying all that to

    As evening rolled around, Michel called us to the kitchen again, telling us our duties. Thankfully for me, I was supposed to be washing the dishes. Which meant minimal interaction with the guests or any of the pack members. I had a feeling a certain green eyed man was responsible for the easier task I was assigned tonight. It made me smile. I happily fake limped my way deeper into the kitchen, rolling my sleeves up and readying myself for the task at hand. Unfortunately, Raymond was on serving duty tonight and I had one of the other girls, Gemma, helping me with the dishes. She was a slave, too, but even the slaves avoided talking to me unless it was absolutely necessary. From what I'd gathered over the years was that when my mother had been still alive, there had been no such thing as slavery. It was Alpha Adrian who had introduced it so he could have someone to take his anger out on whenever he felt like it. So the lowest omegas had been officially converted to slaves for the

    Tentatively, I knocked on Alpha Evan's door, opening it only when I heard his deep voice telling me to come in. "Hey," I greeted him, turning around once I'd closed the door behind me and taking him in. He was wearing a deep maroon colored tuxedo with a white shirt underneath and his tie hanging loosely around his neck. The tuxedo looked tailored to perfection to fit him, accentuating the muscles that I now knew lay underneath. His hair was combed back tonight instead of the sexily disheveled look I'd grown accustomed to. It made him look sharper, more dangerous somehow. So much so, that I felt like a prey being appraised by his predator as his eyes raked over my form. I shifted from foot to foot, unsure what to say as he stared at me from his spot on the sofa. "Did you have your dinner or should I ask them to bring some food?" He finally asked, breaking the sudden awkward silence that had descended upon us. I shook my head. "I've already had some. I figured you would've eaten

    "It feels like a dream," I admitted softly once both my feet were in the shoes. Alpha Evan stood up, looking down at me with the softest of smiles. "It is very much real. You did pinch yourself just now to prove it is," he pointed out, a teasing lilt to his voice. I felt my cheeks heat up in embarrassment. But could you really blame me? Never in my wildest dreams had I imagined anyone would ever do something like this for me, let alone a powerful Alpha such as him. Before I could say anything, he held up a finger, pulling his phone out of his pocket as he did so. The starting notes of 'Perfect' by Ed Sheeran filled the space between us. And then, just when I thought the night couldn't get any more surprising, he held his hand out to me. "Would you do me the honour of dancing with me, Miss?" "I don't know how to dance," I admitted, a bit embarrassed, my voice small. "It's alright. I promise I won't let you fall," he told me, still holding his hand out to me. Nodding shaki

  • Her Villainous Mate    Epilogue

    ELEVEN YEARS LATER"Oliver, get back here!" I screamed at my six year old as he ran out the door taking his older sister's shirt with him. Goddess, I had no idea why this little brat was so obsessed with his sister's clothes. He was always stealing her clothes from the laundry basket and running around the house with them in his hand. Why he did that, I had absolutely no idea. Maybe he liked seeing Serena shout our lungs out. The kids loved each other to death but lived to make each other's lives hell.A chuckling Evan walked in the door with a small black garment in his hand. "Looking for this?" He asked.I snatched Serena's top from his hand, the same one Oliver had run out the door with moments ago. How he had managed to snag the cloth back, I had no idea, but that was just the way it had always been. I could keep shouting at the kids to get things done and they wouldn't do it. But one word from their father and suddenly, they were the most obedient kids in the world. Evan was a na

    "You're sure you want to do this? I can go alone if you're not comfortable," I said to Alpha Evan for the umpteenth time that evening as we made our way outside towards his car. "Yes, Melody, I'm sure. Even if I don't act like it, I am their Alpha and I want to introduce you to the pack myself so they know not to mess with you," Alpha Evan explained as he held open the door to his car, motioning for me to take a seat. I did so and he shut the door once I was seated before going over to the driver's side and getting in himself. "They wouldn't dream of messing with their Luna," I replied. Packs held their Alpha and Luna in high regard and everyone knew that they were always supposed to act respectfully towards their leaders. "Just because you think a certain way, doesn't mean everyone would think like that as well, kitten," Alpha Evan muttered, his eyes on the road as he drove. My brows furrowed. What did he mean by that? It wasn't something just I thought, was it? "What do you mea

    The next morning, Alpha Evan woke me up bright and early to begin my training. Apparently, according to him, my wolf was weak as hell and I needed to train to strengthen myself. Of course, no one expected me to become a warrior or anything like that, but both him and I wanted me to be able to at least defend myself should the need ever arise. "Again," Alpha Evan said, making me groan. "I thought that it was my wolf that needed training, not my human form," I complained loudly even as I picked up the dumbbells, readying myself for another set. "No offence, kitten, but I can snap you like twig if I wanted to. I want you to at least be able to defend yourself on the off chance that something happens and I'm not there to protect you," Alpha Evan explained, not even breaking a sweat as he bench pressed weights that were almost twice my entire body weight with ease in his indoor gym. It was extremely distracting and almost hypnotising the way his muscles tensed and relaxed as he exercise

    "Evan, you're back," I said, stating the obvious. "So it seems," he replied, his tone even as he walked further into the house, his woody sense invading my senses. I wanted to melt into his arms right then but it was not the time to let my feelings for him take over all rational thought so I stood rooted to my spot instead."Where did you go off to?" I asked, keeping my tone as neutral as possible."I went for a run to clear my head a little," he explained, his tone just as neutral as mine, if not more. "I'm, uh, sorry for the way I reacted earlier. I didn't mean to say all that."I raised a brow at his words. I was happy and immensely relieved that he at least knew he'd done something wrong and was man enough to apologise for the same. Much as his words had hurt, I knew that bringing it up again will do nothing but spoil both our moods. Now wasn't the time for that. Now was the time to talk things out. "Right. It's okay, but let's not make it a habit, yeah?" I told him, keeping my

    I'd been feeling extremely hungry when Alpha Evan had started cooking food for us but after the conversation we'd just had, I didn't feel like eating anything, let alone seeing what he had cooked. Left alone in the house with nothing to do and the conversation we'd just had running on a continuous loop in my head, I couldn't sit still. I paced in front of the kitchen as I waited for Alpha Evan to come back from wherever it was he had run off to. I hated this. I hated that he left the house like that with no way for me to communicate with him whenever we had a fight. And what had that even been about? Fine, we thought differently on certain things but did that really mean that we couldn't be with each other? His parting words had been that he couldn't see us working out in the long run. But why? This had been our first disagreement as a couple and he had run off like that in a fit of anger instead of talking things out like we should've. Was it that easy for him to give up on us jus

    Without thinking, I jumped in to defend Logan. "Oh, he was just asking if we're mates. And we are," I said with a smile as Alpha Evan made his way down the stairs, staring Logan down, his gaze cold.Then, he looked at me and almost as if on instinct, I walked towards him, wrapping an arm around his waist and leaning in to his side. "We make a cute couple, don't we?" I said, hoping Logan would get the hint and play along. I had no idea what I was doing, but I was hoping it'd help take the heat away from Logan and calm Alpha Evan down enough that he wouldn't do something to hurt the guy. I did not want anything bad happening to him simply because he had been too curious to keep his mouth shut. I let out a small sigh when Logan smiled and agreed wholeheartedly. "Of course, you do. You guys make a great couple. Many congratulations on finding your mate, Alpha. You too, Luna."Alpha Evan then looked down at me, seemingly calm now. He gave me an almost pleased smile, as if happy to hear t

  • Her Villainous Mate    Chapter - 73

    I still couldn't believe Alpha Evan was my mate. Sure, like every other girl, I'd imagined finding my mate one day. I'd never really thought it would actually come true given what my condition had been, but I'd definitely dreamt. I'd thought about if he'd be someone I'd always known, or if he'd be someone from an entirely different pack, someone completely unknown. I'd thought about if he'd be a kind man or not, what he'd think of me when he first saw me, if he'd like me or not. And now that the dream had finally come true, I didn't know what to do. For the first time since meeting Alpha Evan, I felt unsure how to act around him. Were there any rules when it came to being with your mate? Was I supposed to act a certain way? And Alpha Evan was an Alpha. Did that make me a Luna? I wasn't sure I was ready for something like that. But then again, he barely paid any attention to any of his duties as an Alpha, so I didn't think he expected me to do anything in that regard either. But then

    It was hard to put into words what being in my wolf form truly felt like. My vision was sharper, my sense of smell was heightened and my reflexes were quicker than ever before. It was the most liberating feeling in the world, being able to run at breakneck speed without tiring. Sure, I still felt a little awkward in my movements, not used to running on all fours like that, but I felt happy that now, I at least had an opportunity to get used to it. Alpha Evan ran right beside me, his large black wolf dwarfing my smaller brown one but he kept his pace even with mine, never running ahead even though I knew he easily could. His woody scent was there, stronger than ever, making me feel warm and safe like it always did. My wolf felt at ease, heck, my entire being felt at ease with him beside me. It was almost unnatural how much at peace my heart felt with him by my side. A feeling of euphoria and of being complete engulfed me, like I had finally accomplished everything I was meant to wit

    "You think you're ready for it?" Alpha Evan asked. "I'm not sure. I'm... I'm scared," I admitted honestly, letting out a breath. The last time I had tried this was years ago, and I had ended up writhing in pain halfway through before giving up entirely. It was early morning the next day and apparently, Alpha Evan thought that it was the perfect time to help me shift into my wolf form. Much as I wanted to postpone the entire thing, I was also eager to get it over and done with. I had a feeling I wouldn't be able to do it but Alpha Evan's presence and help was making me hopeful. And hope was a dangerous thing to have. "It's okay to be scared, kitten. Your past experiences haven't been pleasant from what you've told me so it's normal to feel this way, I suppose," Alpha Evan said, his voice soothing and calm. That coupled with all the greenery surrounding us in the large field close to Alpha Evan's house helped take the edge off, but I was still wary and nervous about what would happen
