<<*Eva's POV*>>

I had spent the entire night by Kierans' side, changing the towels and replacing the water when it got warm. I must've fallen asleep because when I woke up, my head was on Kieran's chest.

I got up and saw Kieran already awake and staring at me. I prayed my cheeks weren't turning red and I brushed my hair back from my face. His gaze on me remained unmoving. I started to feel uncomfortable. Was there saliva on my face?

I rubbed my mouth but there was nothing.

“What?” I finally asked him, “why are you looking at me like that?”

He finally moved his eyes elsewhere and put his hand behind his head and crossed his legs.

“No reason”

I reached to touch him so I could check his temperature. He stopped my hand midway and raised a brow as he stared at me.

“Let me check…” He unhanded me slowly, his expression still guarded and his eyes never leaving me. I placed my hand on his head and then his neck. The fever was gone.

“Now can I check your wound?” I asked for permission this ti

    I had been dreaming of this day since the very moment I set my eyes on Kieran. The day we would share our first kiss. It was better than I'd imagined and totally unexpected. We were still in the same position, his hands around my waist as I laid flat on his chest. I tried to free myself and he loosened his grip. I tried to get up but I fell back on him in a very awkward position and our lips met each other again. I opened my eyes wide and quickly scrambled to my feet. “Sorry” Kieran didn't say a word to me. He just got up and went straight to his room leaving me confused and a bit hurt. We had just shared our first kiss, a very heated one and that and he didn't have anything to say? He was the one who’d kissed me in the first place. The audacity. I'd momentarily forgotten my anger but it all came flooding back as I watched his back, leaving me. What was the kiss for? What did he think of me? That he could just do as he pleased whenever he pleased? My first instinct was to leave and

    “There are several packs within the werewolf community, the Cresent pack was the very first one. The rest were made from pack members who decided they wanted to take up leadership of their own, and also to decongest the pack as membership increased. As time went on we had several packs but there are 6 major packs including ours; The blood moon pack, The Canines, The Lunar clan, The Mystic shadows, The blueblood and of course The Cresent pack. The six are considered the most powerful and most influential. But of course there are newer packs that have been stepping into limelight.Like you said there will always be rotten fruit among the bulk. Some wolves refused to follow our laws and began killing and attacking humans. Werewolves that got turned became obsessed with getting revenge and settling scores with people from their past”To cut the long story short, it didn't end well. Wolves like that were banished and cut off from their packs as punishment but instead of reforming, they onl

    “All in good time. Bye for now” Although I hadn't seen her, I felt it when she left. Why did she suddenly show up after all this time? What exactly was she after? I was a bit too frustrated to care. All in good time she'd said. I would find out about her eventually.I returned inside. Kieran was no longer in the living room and I was thankful because I didn't want to face him again just yet. I went up to my room and stayed there till it was time for dinner. Naturally I'd have to cook something. I sighed as I made my way downstairs. Before I could enter the kitchen to check what I could make, I saw Kieran in the living room with a huge box of pizza on the table in front of him. I ignored him and the very tasty looking pizza which was practically calling out my name. I felt pride thinking I’d step into the kitchen and whip up something as appealing as his own dinner. You can imagine my shock when I saw the kitchen empty. There was nothing I could possibly use to cook. Feeling defeate

    It was the kind of thing that happened in dreams. When you've got a speech to give but somehow you're naked. Or you're talking to your crush but you have a mustache and are dressed in trash bags. The only difference was it wasn't a dream. It was real life and I was standing in front of Kieran with my towel on the floor. I had been so focused on my current state that I didn't look at Kieran. It felt as though my soul had left my body but it returned as soon as I saw Kieran's back to me. Somehow he must've turned as soon as he noticed my towel coming off. This realisation brought some comfort and I quickly picked up my towel and wrapped it around myself making sure it was tighter this time. I still wasn't sure if Kieran had seen anything.“Are you decent?” He asked me moments after. I felt shy looking I'm in the eyes so I asked him instead,“Did you… see…” I couldn't bring myself to ask the question. He ought to have understood what I was trying to ask.“What?” “I… my towel… did you,

    Everything. Everything could go wrong, I thought as Esme announced that we were officially in Blackbourne. With a population of 86,000, the city was much larger than Oakville which had just 4,000 residents. There were big buildings and lots of recreational centres. It was like leaving the easy life of the country and stepping into the bustling city. I could spot billboards advertising different companies, brands and products at every angle. It was definitely a change from Oakville. It would take time getting used to it. And of course I couldn't walk long distances anymore.“We’re almost at the pack house” Esme informed me with excitement, I couldn't bring myself to mirror those emotions. I fumbled nervously with my hands as we drove into what I supposed was the pack house. I gasped as it came into view.It was a sprawling estate set in a forested landscape, with a grand mansion at its center, similar to the one they had back in Oakville, only bigger and more grand. Smaller buildin

    I couldn't believe my ears. What girlfriend? How? I knew Kieran didn't like me but I'd never pictured him being able to show that kind of affection to anyone. So what did they mean? Despite my shock I walked out of the bathroom with a straight face, acting as though nothing had happened and I'd heard nothing. I observed Catherine's face go wide with fear as I came out. She shouldn't talk so much if she would be so scared of the consequences. “Oh, I didn't know you two were waiting for me here. You should've said something” I said with a smile.Anna looked at Catherine and her face visibly relaxed.“Thank you, I'll be fine on my own” Both maids nodded and exited my room.I had been holding it together well but the minute I was alone, I crashed into the bed. I knew all of it was too good to be true. There truly were lots of things that could go wrong and this was probably just the first of many.My mate had someone else that he loved. It just didn't make any sense. All I wanted to

    I felt my heart go numb as I stared at them. I couldn't process all of it. I knew this would happen eventually, me seeing them together. I just didn't expect that it would be so soon.“I've missed you so much babe” The girl spoke as she hugged him from the back. I still couldn't see her face. Kieran placed a hand on her and turned to face her.“I really need to go now Leah” She whined and threw her arms around him again. “But you just got here. What? You prefer your little mates’ company to mine now?” Her voice sounded almost familiar to my ears. “No, you know that. Please don't be difficult Leah” “I want to hear you say you love me?“I love you. I need to leave now”I scrambled away and hid behind a huge grandfather's clock. My heart raced but the sound was overshadowed by the ticking of the clock. Kieran passed by me as I blended into the shadows and I heard the door to the room he'd just left close. I waited a while before I left my hiding place. I hadn't gone to far so I wou

    Damien was an interesting study. He seemed quiet and serious almost in an intimidating way but he was pretty nice. When I'd first approached him I was unsure especially when he stared at me so long before responding.“I know who you are. You're the Alpha's mate. The one everyone's been talking about since I got here” “They've been talking about me?” He nodded “What do they… say, about me” I was genuinely curious. “You're like a legend around here. I've seen parents telling their kids bedtime stories about a human saviour that will come to liberate our kind from a curse”“That's all? I'm just the prophecy girl? So everyone will just like me because I'm a means to an end?”“There are some people, however few, that aren't too pleased with receiving help from a human. I bet those ones wouldn't necessarily like you”“Great. Just the motivation I needed” I replied sarcastically. “No, you don't get it. My point is that these people have been given every reason to be nice to you and to ido

    Esme hadn't returned to the mansion after almost 2 weeks and at that point, everyone was worried. She was practically missing and none of the calls to her phone were going through. Mine and Kieran's mating ritual was happening soon too and it wasn't something that could be postponed. Everyone hoped that she would return before then.But there was no luck. It was the night of the ritual and Esme was still missing. "You look beautiful, Talia told me as she prepared me for the ceremony. I still didn't know exactly what was meant to happen. Esme was supposed to tell me and I never got the chance to ask Kieran. So I was basically going there with no clue of what was supposed to happen. "I'm so nervous" I admitted."Don't worry about it. I'm sure you'll do great.""Thanks Talia"She smiled at me before she led me outside the mansion where the ritual would happen under the light of the full moon. She escorted me like a brie going down the alter and like a groom, Kieran was waiting at the e

    Lying on the floor was the same water that had given me directions to the bathroom. He was sprawled out on the floor, covered in his own blood.I let out a scream, but Kieran quickly held me and pulled me back so I couldn't see the body anymore. "It's okay, it's okay. I'm here. I'm right here with you. Nothing is going to happen." His voice was soothing, and he succeeded in calming me down."Come with me." Kieran led me back outside, and he notified the manager. Soon, the place was filled with cops. They questioned me, and I told them exactly what had happened. "Are you okay?" Kieran asked me while we waited for the cops to let everyone go."They threatened me, and then they used that poor man to send a message. What kind of people play with the lives of other people like that?" "Rouges can be quite brutish in their ways. They'll go to whatever lengths to prove a point. Whoever did that was here tonight, and they probably slipped out before we even saw the body" "That poor man did

    I was looking forward to mybdate with Kieran. I didn't do anything fancy, especially because I didn't have any nice dresses that could fit my baby bump. Talia managed to find me a cute summer dress that fit perfectly. and she helped me with my hair and a little bit of makeup."It seems Kieran is really putting in the extra effort," She said"Yeah." "I'm happy for you Eva, you deserve to be happy." I smiled at her through the mirror as she helped me detangle my hair. Kieran knocked on my door at exactly 7:40 pm."Are you ready?" "Yes, I am,""Shall we?" He offered me his arm to take, and I did so gladly. "Where are we going? I asked him as he held the car door open for me.""You'll see." I still hadn't seen most of Blackbourne since I mostly went from home to school and back, and the route the took was on the opposite side of the roads I was more familiar with. Wherever it was that we were going, I felt safe knowing that I was with Kieran. We ended up at a high-end restaurant ove

    "I'll admit there's definitely something there," I told Alaric. I didn't want to admit just how deep my feelings were. Alaric laughed. "See, I knew it. You could only play hard to get for so long. Eva's a great girl. Treat her right," He said seriously. I knew I hadn't been fair to her since we'd met, but I intended to change that. I made up my mind that once she recovered and woke up, I would take her out on a date. And then I'd confess to her how I really felt. "You know what? I'll tell her. I'm going to ask her to give me a second chance, and I won't hurt her again." "You better not because Talia's told me to break every bone in your body the next time you hurt Eva's feelings. "I won't. Not again." While we were talking, Leah came up behind me and wrapped her arms around me. I made eye contact with Alaric, and he cleared his throat and excused us. "What is it, Leah?" "I miss you,""What do you mean? You see me every day.""Barely. You're always with Eva. Just because she

    4 months passed, and I was already in my last trimester. Plans were underway for the mating ritual between me and Kieran. The pregnancy had begun to weigh me down more, something about carrying a wolf baby. The doctor said I would only get weaker because the child was taking more of my life force as it grew bigger. I still didn't know its gender because I wanted it to be a surprise. I twisted in bed and let out a grunt."Be careful, Eva," Talia said as she rushed to help me into a more conformable position. "It's fine, I'm fine. Just...""Extremely weak?""Yeah, that." "I'm really worried about you. You still have 2 months before you have to deliver, and you already look halfway dead. The baby is taking too much from you." This had been Talia's Countenance since the doctor first told everyone about the baby taking up my own life force."It's okay, Talia. I already made it this far. I'll be fine, both me and the baby. You'll see" "I'm just worried about you," "I know." I sighed

    James' confession and declaration of love caught me by surprise. I wasn't sure what to say or how to respond. "It's okay. You don't have to say anything just yet. I just wanted you to know" He looked out the window, and silence filled the car for a moment before he spoke again"Did you come alone? Do I need to drop you back?" "Oh, umm... no, I'm not alone. I'll just call him now." I brought out my phone, and Damien picked on the first ring."Hi, can you come pick me up at town Square?""You left the woods on your own?" "Yes, I just wanted to go for a walk. Just come now so we can go. I'm tired already. And not to mention hungry." The pancakes had barely done anything to my slowly growing tummy."I'm on my way,""We could grab a snack if you're still hungry. We're right outside the bakery." James suggested "Oh yes, thank you! That would be great. Just get me the best pastries they've got." James chuckled, "Yes ma'am." James was back very quickly, and I munched down on one of the
