My pulse raced in anxiety as I watched him coming towards me. Eyes cold, jaw tensed, expression hostile- he had assumed a threatening aura. My panic soaring with his every firm stride. He just had ripped a man apart in his human form in front of hundreds of people, the witnesses were still horror-struck. People scurried away from his path putting a wide distance between them and the walking danger. Dread twisted in my gut as he stopped in front of me. There was something different in his eyes this time. Something that unsettled me. He moved his hand and I flinched instinctively. He noticed but chose to ignore it. Instead, he grabbed my wrist and led me straight out of the room with several pair of eyes following us. His hold was tight enough to leave bruises. I chose not to object and fan his fury even more. His footsteps thundered down the hallway accompanied by my light and running ones. I was practically running to keep up with his large strides. There was no one around ex
Our last kiss had left me with a foreboding feeling. The kiss was perfect like always but still, it didn't leave me with the warm fuzzy feeling it usually did. I was aroused but not comforted. I don't know why but I was feeling restless since his departure. What was so urgent that he had to leave so suddenly? I had noticed a distant look in his eyes tonight. He was acting differently. And it all happened after that incident. My stomach sank as a thought struck me. Is he in trouble for killing that pervert? I didn't even want to imagine what would happen if the news reached Russia to his home pack and Esme. Worry seized me at once. Where did he go? I hoped he was fine. Not being able to help myself, I sat up and grabbed my phone. It was 4 in the morning. I dialed his number and pressed the phone to my ear. My heart knocking against my ribcage as the rings went on. Moments passed but he didn't answer. Good Lorde, why would he worry me so much? I got down from the bed and dialed him a
His unexpected presence sent a bolt of shock right through me. My hand fell from his as I, unconsciously, retreated a step. What is he doing here? A sickening wave of dread welled up from my stomach as I gaped in disbelief at the object of my nightmare, not sitting much farther from me. By his carefree laughter, I assumed he was not aware of my presence yet. Is he here for me? He was at a table Has he found out about my whereabouts? "No," a weak whisper escaped my mouth as Zavion grabbed my wrist and led me forward in long, quick strides. I struggled to pull my hand away but he didn't let up on the grip. I felt my eyes going wide in absolute dread when I realised we were headed toward him. Why is he taking me there? "No..Iet..let me go," I choked out. Kyle had not seen me yet, I could still escape him. I frantically looked around for a way out. I would hide behind a table if I have to but I can't let him see me. While scouring, my gaze circled back to Kyle and this time he was st
“What’s wrong?” The hair on the back of my neck stuck up in alarm when I caught his eyes blazing murderously. At me. In response to my question, he took a stride toward me. Nostrils flaring, fists clenched, his spartan shoulders bent in a predatory bow, eyes glowering red. His wolf had taken over him. The sight was far from a pleasing one. Dread crawled over my body, prickling my skin. “wh… why are you staring at me like that?” my voice came out tight and cracking as I backed away. “Why did you hide it?” he growled through his clenched teeth, causing goosebumps to break out all over my arms. I blinked at him unsure. The realisation struck me like a train. There is no way he is talking about that. Right? I felt my stomach contracting into a tight knot. No..no..no…If he knows the truth then I am done for. “What are you talking about?” I pushed past my lump and interrogated. I needed to find out what he was talking about. The fury in his eyes deepened. “Do.not.test.my.patie
He looked down at his right arm, raising it slightly. His features set in concentration as he eyed his arm. My mouth slacked as black fur begins to prick out of his skin and in a blink of an eye, his hand firmed up into a beastly paw. Realization dawned on me. Zavion raised his gaze to the wooden wall. Clenching his teeth, he drove his paw right into the wall. The ground shook from the impact. Another vicious punch and the wall collapsed like a heap of snow, giving me a start. Before I could process his hand clamped around my wrist like a vine and pulled me forward. He dragged me out through the hole. A wave of relief washed over me and I sucked in the fresh air as soon as we came out. The fresh air felt like a blessing to my burning lungs. The relief, however, turned into worry as soon as my eyes caught the burn marks on his back. The fire had burned through his cloth and marred his skin."Zavion, your back," I tried to bring his attention to his burns as he continued to drag me so
An avalanche of panic swept over me, draining me from inside and out. Suddenly, I felt too weak to carry my own weight. My knees buckled and I found myself falling. But before I could crumple down at his feet, Zavion caught me by my waist, breaking my fall. Our eyes were locked tight- his bursting with resentment, mine full of helplessness. So much hatred for me. My heart twisted painfully and I couldn't fight back the tears that spilled down my cheeks. "Save your tears, mate. You have more work of them in future," he gritted out but instead of shoving me away, he yanked me closer, pressing his heart to mine. So close that I could clearly hear and feel the deep rumbling of his breath vibrate through his chest. He brought a glass to my lips which he was holding in his other hand and pressed its rim to my lips. "Drink," he instructed. I obeyed. Right now my mind was in an automatic obeying mode. I parted my lips and swallowed the drink in large gulps. He watched me with indifference.
Third POV :Evangelina cowered in fear as his wolf made his sudden appearance. The widely feared beast better known as Invictus- the bearer of evils was talking to her. This was the first time his wolf had contacted her. His pale orbs were now overflowing with molten lava, threatening to swallow her whole. She whimpered and lowered her gaze to the ground. Now that he had pointed it out, she could feel the power surging through her. Her wolf was awake. She was back. Eva timidly crouched in a shifting position and pressed her eyes close. How long had it been since her last shift? Over five years. Doubts arose inside her. Would she be able to process the shift? There was only one way to find out. She drew a deep breath and imagined her wolf. Bone cracking noise resounded in the air as her body twitched and twisted. Brown fur replaced white skin. Zavion gaped, enthralled as her wolf materialized. Brown fur, blue glassy eyes, petite form. His heartbeat skyrocketed. She was fucking stun
EVANGELINA :I was crushed down by a gloomy wave of melancholy. Tears poured out my eyes as they desperately darted around the room for one glimpse of her. But she wasn't there. Her scent had fainted too. The realization wrenched my gut in two. He took my Penny away. I crouched to the floor and collapsed in ragged sobs. He took her away. What will I do now? I cannot live without my child. "Penny," I cried in exasperation. How could he do this to me? How could he separate a mother from her child? I would endure any punishment but not this. "Mommy?" I stilled. Penny? I turned my head to look behind me. Relief washed over my aching heart when I saw her. Concern was written all over her tiny face. I scrambled to my feet and ran towards her. I felt my lips spreading into a grateful smile. "Penny," I engulfed her in my arms and kissed her all over her face. I was still sobbing, the fear of losing her still pounding in my heart. "Mommy, why are you crying?" Penny asked, clueless. Mo
EVANGELINATHREE MONTHS LATERThis is how it must feel like to have a Happy Ever After. To have a happy ending is a blessing and I am grateful to have it. I feel wholesome and so happy. I cannot thank Moon Goddess enough for choosing him for me. I always wanted a mate who will love me unconditionally. Someone who will fill my life with love and happiness. Never imagined Goddess will fulfill my wish. Zavion changed my life and turned it into an absolute fairytale. He takes care of me and fulfills all my desires as they are his own. I am still trying to settle into my new position as Luna and I would be lying if I said it's a cakewalk. It is not. I am watched and judged all the time. I fail too. It took me a whole week only to learn fighting stances. It's difficult. Much more difficult than I had expected it to be. However, submitting is not an option for me. I want to become skillful. I want to become worthy of Zavion. "Are you fantasizing about me?" his heart-soothing voice hit my ea
THIRD POV"Where is she?" Aaron hollered thunderously in the hall. His bloodshot eyes were clouded with madness. His booming voice bounced off the lofty walls, prompting members to rush out in a state of alarm. "What happened?" Cora enquired when she noticed her youngest's chaotic state. Ron power-walked towards her and held her shoulders. "Where is she, mom?" he demanded angrily with an undertone of desperation. Cora, clueless glanced over Nora who looked just as confused. She shifted her gaze back to her son who seemed to be on the verge of losing his control. "Who?" Cora questioned."Sylvia. She is gone," he told her. A hint of pain accompanied his tone. Cora's eyes widened in shock."How?" she asked, still shocked. Ron released her and turned around to look at other family members. His enraged eyes swept around the hall, taking in everyone. "Who helped her leave?" he growled like a wounded lion. Everyone was shocked to see this side of his. Ron was never the type to hold ange
SYLVIAHis tongue rolled inside me, eliciting a gentle sigh straight from my bosoms. I reciprocated, greedy for more and more of him. I wanted to drown myself in his kisses and touch. I was aware of the consequences. He was drunk and might not remember anything of it come tomorrow. But..but I wasn't able to move away. I let him hold me by my waist. I let him pull me on his lap and invade my mouth completely. How could I not? Every inch of mine was yearning for his touch. I felt alive again as he squeezed and kneaded me. He grabbed a fistful of my hair and deepened our kiss. I moaned in his mouth, relishing his dominating side. My hands of their own begin fumbling with the buttons of his shirt. I needed him inside me at this very moment. I needed him to fill me up. Before I could undo his last button, he threw me on the bed. I blinked at him as he crawled over me, his eyes never straying from mine.His orbs were caught in the blazes of lust, his expression was of a feral animal starvi
EVANGELINAI heard him lashing out in the phone from the door. He sounded furious. From what I gathered, Ron had marked Sylvia. The news had left me just as shocked and worried for the woman. I should be the last person to sympathize with her after what she did. But try as I may I cannot forget the sorrow I had witnessed in her eyes when we met the last time. She had realized her mistake. Punishing her more will only batter her already torn soul. "I don't care why you did it, Ron but don't you forget she is a Kessler now. If you harmed that girl unnecessarily. You will have to face my wrath," Zavion warned Ron in a serious tone. Pride swells in my heart. Zavion had no fondness for Sylvia but he was also not the type to sit on the fence when his family is being persecuted. Sylvia was a family now.We honestly had a long discussion about her before he decided her punishment. I tried to make him see her perspective. Being a mother, I should hate her the most but I don't. What she did wa
AaronHer soft snores rang through the room all night long. How did she manage to fall asleep on the cold, hard floor is beyond me. I wish I could say I slept as well as her but that would be a big fat lie. Sleep had escaped me. I just tossed and turned in the bed, struggling to not think about her. Not long ago, she used to sleep here with me. We would cuddle all night long. So different from where we were today. She was sleeping so peacefully and I couldn't help but feel bitter about it. Does she not miss my body next to hers? How easy it was to fall asleep for her without me. I tried to sleep but I just couldn't. My wolf and my body were urging me to carry her back to my bed and cuddle with her but I denied it. Never in this lifetime, I was going to sleep with her in one bed again. In the morning when I got up from my bed, she was still sleeping. As though she had not slept her entire life. I glared at her, contemplating pouring a bucket of cold water on her. I was already irrita
AARON"Why did you do this?" Mom demanded, looking furious. I knew this was coming. Everyone was looking at me waiting for an answer. Why did I do this? To teach her a good lesson."She is my mate. I can mark her if I want to," I replied dryly. My mother's gaze flickered to the unconscious Sylvia in my arms before backing up to my face. She looked unconvinced. "You have marked her to make her life miserable," Mom corrected me. I clenched my jaw. "Alpha has banished her. What more do you want?" Nora sounded equally mad. A scowl was plastered across her face, her eyes spitting fire at me. Everyone was mad at me. I had no idea why were they all defending this ungrateful betrayer."I will not have more discussion about it," I gritted out and stormed off to my room. I felt their eyes stabbing my back as I power-walked toward my room. I glanced down at her. She looked lifeless. The blood was trickling down her neck in a thin line where I had marked her, I didn't bother to seal it back. I
ZAVIONI let my mouth trail over her delicate belly. The warmth of my breath raising goosebumps all over her silky, rosy-white skin. Seeing her body's response to my touch pleases me to no end. I love how she shivers involuntarily every time I brush my lips against her flat tummy. It's too flat for my liking. I was going to fill it up with my baby. The thought was followed by the painful memories of Eva's miscarriage. The incident inflicted deep pain on both of us. She acts fine but I know she is still reeling from that. I have caught her crying alone a few times. She never cries in front of me. Perhaps, because she doesn't want to stress me out. I never leave a chance to let her know what an amazing person is. I love the way she looks but what has me on my knees for her is the way she is; So beautiful, so amazing. But she was getting better now. Healing day by day. This vacation was doing her good. We were in bed since morning, too lazy to get out and too much in love to lay still.
SylviaHe wants me dead. Night flew by but I was still stuck in that moment. I thought him hating me would hurt me the most but him wanting me dead just felt even worse. It still hurts so bad. It was like thousand scorching needles were constantly being jabbed into my heart. The pain was unbearable. He will never forgive me, let alone love me. He wants me dead and I want the same now. What's the point of living without him anyway. It was clear he wasn't going to love me ever again, what will I do with a life that won't have him in it? I hoped Zavion would give me a death sentence. I hoped he would give me the most miserable death so that Aaron feels at ease. If my death gives him happiness, he will get it. My stomach lurched at this point and I crouched forward to puke. I retched but nothing came out. I had already committed a few times since last night. My cell and I were stinking of my vomit and piss. I was at my worst. I slumped against the wall and closed my eyes. My head was sp
DIMITRYI watched her from the shadow as she talked away with Nora. They were perched in the front porch of mansion. Her read head bobbing adorably as she carried out the conversation with a hint of enthusiasm. They were talking about ice creams. I smiled, noting my mate has a thing for ice cream. I've been trying to get closer to her but she always shoots me down. She looks so comfortable every time I try to engage in a conversation that I end up dropping it.I don't know why she was acting so distant. Does she not know I am her mate? Does she not like me? The thought was scary. I was never keen on finding my mate. In fact unpopular opinion but I believed that having a mate would be a hassle for my carefree life. I loved swimming in pussies and one wouldn't be enough to satisfy me. But my thoughts took a drastic turn when I locked eyes with her. At first, I didn't realize she was my mate as I couldn't smell her scent due to the cold. But the attraction I felt for her was instant. She
