Eva Silver Count down started on screen. Once Zero displayed loud music banged and everyone started moving their bodies in full swing. "Happy Birthday Eva", April, my best friend yelled and trapped me in a tight hug. "Happy Birthday", Rain, the other piece of the Trio appeared with shots. These two idiots organized this crazy party. It's good but that count-down thing was too much. "Thank you", I said. Clinked the glasses and that sour liquid burned our throats. "I will leave", I informed. "It's your birthday and the party barely started", April whined. "It's a full moon", I pouted. "You should grow up", Rain scoffed. "I will, from next morning", I winked and they rolled their eyes in unison. I gave them a quick hug and came out of the club. I got into my car and drove towards the forest. Well, the club was in town which was a neutral territory for all species. Forest had boundaries of packs. Especially, this part was under our pack. I halted the car near the lake. I checked
Eva Silver "I dare you", I challenged standing in defense position. Luca smirked and lounged towards me. I escaped and threw a punch. Argh, he missed it. It's my daily morning routine, sparing with my brothers and training juniors. I was the strongest she-wolf of our pack. I wanted to become the strongest wolf beating down my brothers. Idiots beat me with their alpha male strengths. But I was the one who could put up the longest time with them. Perks of pure-blooded alpha. "Leave her", my cousin more like my brother Evan ordered his brother. "No", Luca and I said in unison. I determined to not quit until kick his ass. We were exhausted and panting yet didn't stop. "I said stop", Evan ordered in his alpha tone. Luca glared and backed off. I removed my gloves and threw them at Evan and yelled, "I hate you." I hate him whenever he uses that tone on me. He rolled his eyes. "I hate your wolf", Luca said to Evan. Evan frowned. "She yelled at you but your wolf didn't bother for disre
Jake Smith "Jake...Jake", Lisa shook me. I came out of my thoughts. "Yeah", I responded. "Where had you lost?" she asked. "Nothing", I shook my head. "We reached our venue", my beta Liam said from the passenger seat. A five-star hotel stood in its elegance before us. We got down the car and get into the hotel. We took our room key cards. Being an alpha I had been invited to a council conference. There were two werewolf kingdoms. Unlike others, both kingdoms had great coordination and peace. King Samuel Knight was ruling the Eastern kingdom while King Judah Wick was ruling the Western kingdom. North Mountain was in the Eastern kingdom near to borders of the Western kingdom. Annual council conferences were held either in the Royal pack belonging to King Samuel or the Blue Sapphire pack belonging to King Judah. This year it was in the Royal pack. It was organized by Kings for the welfare of our species. Alphas, betas, and gammas of every pack should attend this conference. Everyone
Eva POV I didn't attend the dinner with my brothers. I had two problems there. One, my mate, and second, my wolf. I wasn't ready to accept that dismissive look of his. My wolf was hurting. I already knew Jake would have attended the conference. I promised those innocent wolves to help them. So I had to attend this. From the morning I had a hard time pushing him out of my mind and concentrating on the meeting. Would he get affected the way I had affected in his presence? I spent the rest of the evening with my grandparents and family. It had been a long time since I met all of them. I had dinner with a few of my cousins at a restaurant. They insisted I stay for movie night. As I had to start back to my pack early in the morning, I politely rejected them and return to the hotel. I heard knocks on my door. I opened the door and was greeted by two pairs of light green eyes, my brothers. I opened the door completely and invited them inside. "Do you had your dinner?" Evan asked standing a
Author POV "I'm Skyler Rogers", Skyler was before kings. Ryan convinced her to attend the court. Alex and Luca tried to find her parents. They used all the sources but failed. "I'm the daughter of beta Miles Rogers of Red Moon pack. Six years back my pack lost the war with Pearl Moon pack. Maverick killed our alpha and threatened to burn the whole pack. Having no other option my father submitted to Pearl Moon pack. They killed many of our pack warriors who tried to fight back. My father and our Gamma Nathan tried to save our alpha's son Vince. Nathan was killed and my father was threatened by using me. Maverick forcefully took me to his pack house. They all treated me terribly. I would be released only when my father handover alpha's son. I spent two years there. Later I managed to escape and ran to West Valley pack. Alpha William was an old friend of my former alpha. He provided me asylum and protected me. When I was twenty I returned to my pack. At that time Vince returned with a
Eva POV Skyler's parents and my brothers spent the rest of the afternoon with the Kings and council. I took Skyler to the palace to meet my grandparents. Jason's sisters, the triplet princesses were excited about seeing her. Queen Olivia usually hosts a party for other packs to develop connections with them. If it was any other time, I would be excited to attend her parties. This time I wasn't ready to see asshole mate dancing with his bitch Luna. But I had no other choice this day. Aria, Ella, and Mila, the triplets dragged Skylar and me, shopping. They turned 18 a few months back. I became a teenager with them. We bought all the teenage stuff. Aria selected a pink gown for me. It made me look like a Disney princess and younger than my age. Mila selected a sky-blue gown for Skyler. I wanted to see Ryan's reaction to seeing his Disney princess mate. We spent the most time doing make-up. I spent time doing my hair. Later I finished with slight makeup. Triplets looked like gorgeous do
Eva POV It's been two days since I returned to our pack. I returned the next morning of that night. I couldn't take him out of my mind. I tried all possible ways to keep my mind busy. I could do this. I could move on. I might not know how. But I could. Evan and Ryan didn't return from the Royal pack. Today Luca didn't attend the training. I trained the juniors and went back to the room. I got ready for the day and went to Luca's room. I was thinking of something else and entered his room without knocking. "Shit, I'm sorry", I said and quickly turned away. He was naked over a girl. This idiot should lock his door if he had someone. Thank goddess their lower halves were under covers. "Idiot. Why didn't you lock your door?" I yelled. "I didn't expect you to come without knocking", he said. "Shut up", I shouted. He chuckled. "You can turn back", I heard him near the bathroom. I turned back. "Uncle asking for you", I said and looked at the woman in his bed. "Rain?" I shocked. I di
Eva POV The backyard of the pack house was filled with people. Mom and Aunt arranged a small welcome party for Skyler. They invited all our family and friends. Our whole pack kindly accepted her already. And it would become official once she took her position as gamma. "What are you doing here?" Luca asked me as I stood outside. "Triplets are coming. Mom instructed me to welcome them", I said. "Triplets?" he frowned. Displease was clear on his face. "Stay here. Let's welcome them", I nudged his shoulder. "No way", he yelled. "You know... they turned eighteen a few months back", I said with a raised brow. "So?" he knitted his brows. "You are waiting for your mate. There is a chance that one of them might be your mate", I said. "Oh yeah wait.... what if you got three. They were triplets", I said. He gaped and horror filled his expression. "No way", he yelled "I rather prefer to die mate less than be their mate. They are psychopaths." "Think in this way. Getting three mates",
Eva POV The car stopped before the pack house of North Mountain Pack. It's bigger than I expected. It's like an ancient castle decorated modernly. Grey Lake Packhouse is also an old building, but it was renovated a lot of times, and it eventually lost its ancient aura. It was more like a modern building. I love North Mountain's pack house. "It's gorgeous", I said to Jake. He gave a smile. He got down and quickly came to my side. He opened the door and held out his hand for me. 'Aww, my sweet mate.' I got down and followed him quietly. There was no one on the front porch. The driveway is filled with different cars. My heart rate escalated with each step I took towards the front door. I'm not expecting any grand welcome for me. Even that is the least I can expect, this is North Mountain and I knew they would hate me. We entered the pack house. The living area is very small and the staircase took over half of the space. The left side wall was full of glass windows, while the
Jake POV "Stella is nesting. She is not letting anyone near the baby. Be careful with her", Evan said. "Is she allowing you?" Eva asked. He shook his head as no. Most of the she-wolves in my pack go to nestling right after delivering the baby. They don't even let their mates around the baby. It's because they all were chosen mates and wolves usually become protective with their pups. I was astonished that Evan and his Luna were soulmates yet she was not letting him in. I could see he was disappointed. Brother and sister duo are walking a step ahead and I was following them silently. We all are in an awkward situation and I'm the reason for that. I'm feeling guilty for that. I hope things will become normal for her with her family. I'm an outsider with a not-so-decent reputation; of course, they would treat me like that. I wasn't offended. I'm worrying about her. Evan opened the door of his room. I was in their pack house before but I'm not familiar with anything. It's
Eva POV I can't believe what I just did. I could see the bright red fresh wound on his neck. I just marked him. I fucking marked him. I loved the taste of his blood. He was sleeping. It's the marking effect. After marking your mate it takes all of your energy to make an unbreakable bond between the souls. Usually male marks his mate first and the female sleeps for hours. In my case, it is reversed. I placed a kiss on his forehead. Even I'm feeling light-headed and drowsy. I put my head on his bare chest and closed my eyes. I opened my eyes and found myself still over him. He was sleeping soundly. I looked outside and it was dark. How long have we slept? I moved aside and lay beside him. I could see my mark on his neck. It's almost healed. It will take two more days to get a defined shape. I'm excited to see how my mark looks. I feel more connected to him. I'm always attracted to him but it's intensified now. I think I can mind-link him too. I tried it but I couldn't. Maybe on
Jake POV "I, Eva Silver from Grey Lake pack rejecting you Alpha Jake Smith as my mate." Something cracked inside me. And those fragments percied every inch of my body. The pain made me vulnerable. Eva was dropped to the ground right before my eyes but I wasn't able to move to hold her. I felt my wolf taking over and I have no strength to control him. I was at my weakest. I don't give a shit even if someone kills me. A scream tore out of me and in a fraction of a minute I was on my four covered in fur. It started raining. My wolf turned back and sprinted into the forest. As my pace was picking up, the rain was turning to a downpour. I submerged completely into the pain. I don't know where my wolf was going. My wolf came to a stop at nowhere. He was panting and taking slow steps forward. "You are an asshole. You tried to separate me from my mate", he said. "We have no choice", I said. "I'm ashamed being your wolf", he grunted. "You are a coward. You don't have the guts to f
Eva POV We had a delicious lunch prepared by Lia though I helped her a bit. While cooking we had a great time. She told me her love story. Damn, it's dreamy. I couldn't believe that large scary man did such sweet things to make this tiny woman happy. After lunch, Jake and Gavin left saying "something important". "Would you like to see some old pictures?" Lia asked. "Yeah", I said awkwardly. I don't know but I feel awkward seeing old photographs. Maybe because I had tons of photographs from my childhood and most of them are embarrassing. My family show them to everyone without asking me. It's very embarrassing and I feel others might be embarrassed if I see their pictures. "There are a lot of little Jake pictures", Lia said in a cheerful tone. I fucking knew that tone which my mom use whenever she was about to show my pictures. Those pictures were embarrassing for sure. "I want to see them", I said with excitement. I'm looking forward to a few extremely embarrassing pictures s
EVA POV The day which I prayed that should never come. This day is the last day of us together. I was trying very hard to not think about the coming day but my mind kept wandering about how I was going to take it. Jake wanted to make this last day memorable. We came back to our country. Jake will be taking me to a place which is going to be a surprise. "Jake, why do I feel that we are in wolf territory?" I asked. Jake was driving the car and I sat silently in the passenger seat. "We are", he said. I had this crazy urge to ask him where we were going but I restrained myself. "Be patient for some more time", he said. "I'm patient. I didn't say a word", I argued. "I could figure out what was running in your mind", Jake said in a sing-song tone. "Whatever. You better drive faster", I muttered looking away. It is still dark outside as there was one more hour before dawn. "On it Princess", he chuckled and pressed the accelerator. Our car came to a stop and two large side-stripped wo
JAKE POV"Are you tired, Princess?" I asked Eva. She sat on the bed and was massaging her shoulders. "Yeah, my back hurts. It's a terrible drive", she said stretching her body."Lay on your stomach. I will give you a massage", I said."No, I know what you mean", she glared. "I meant a real massage. Dirty brat", I said with a smirk. "You are dirty", she grunted. Her cheeks turned pink. She cleared her throat and stood up."I'm gonna take a bath", she said. "Can I join? You sound like inviting me", I said. She squinted her eyes. "This pole..", she pointed at the pole beside her "..is the border. You shouldn't come to this side" she warned and left to the bathroom. We were in the middle of the sand. After breakfast, we started our dessert safari. The resort organized it for the tourists. By evening we reached to camp area. We are going to spend this night here in the camp.There is a small pond or we can call it an oasis. Around the pond, tents were arranged. They are larger than us
EVA POV I couldn't sleep the rest of the night. Many thoughts about that desert demon were running in my mind along with that I could hear his voice the whole night. Even Jake couldn't sleep. He wrapped his hand around me tightly, not too tight to suffocate me but tight enough to not let me out. This place wasn't as simple as it looks. It had many secrets. Within 16 hours, I met a Yilan which I didn't know existed in real and I almost met a desert demon which I didn't even know before. We got fresh up quickly and left for breakfast as I was very hungry and I was eager to meet Volkan for a talk. I met Volkan on the way. "We need to talk", I stated standing before him. He was in the dining area looking after the arrangements. Jake got a call from his men and left. "Good Morning", Volkan greeted with his usual happy smile. I gave him a sharp look. "Fine. I'm sorry about the night. I shouldn't hurt you. I'm not sorry for your mate", he said. "Tell me about that demon", I asked with
Eva POV "What is a Yilan?" I asked. "Is he your mate?" he asked. I nodded. "Why are you here?" he asked. "I asked a question", I said. He smiled. "I will answer it. First I need to know why you both are here?" he asked. "Vacation", I said. He took a deep breath. "You are not lying", he said. "Yilan means serpent in the local language", he said. "Serpent?" I asked not believing his words. "Are you for real?" I asked. "Yes", he said. "You can change your form into a snake?" I said more like a question. "Yes", he confirmed. "I thought shape-shifting serpents were a myth", I said. "All myths are once called Legends", he said. "I can't believe it", I said. "Go to that girl and say you are a werewolf", he said pointing to a random dancing girl. I gave him a confused look. "She will say that she can't believe you", he said. He made a point. For most of the humans, we were myths too. "How many more Yilans here?" I asked. "No one. We are not pack creatures like you. We live
