John's pov “Honey, are you not coming to bed?” I looked up from my laptop and my eyes came over to my Open office door. My wife was standing there staring at me seductively or it would have been so if I was in the mood tonight. But when was the last time I had been in the mood? Generally, I have not been myself ever since my daughter left. Of course, I had attended to my responsibilities as an Alpha but as her husband, I could not be emotionally available. There was also this strange aura that I was feeling from her that I had not even noticed before, and then added up to all of that I was also trying to figure out something. “I'm sorry dear I can't be coming to bed now but don't worry I'll join you soon,” I said to her closing my laptop so that she would not come and look at what I was also looking at. She appeared worried and her eyebrows pressed together as she came closer anyway and dragged out to the seat that was across my desk settling down on it. Then she began to
John's pov I woke up from my desk in a daze, scattering some of the documents that I had gathered on top of it and spilling them to the floor. I flicked my wrist and my heart tumbled a little at the sight of my wristwatch when it told me that it was already morning. I had promised my wife that I would join her in bed and I didn't. With a heavy groan, I pushed myself back into my swivel chair. She was never going to let this go and dig this topic up over and over again. I tried to push my mind away from the incoming arguments and move it over to what I had discovered last night and also the call from my daughter. She said was coming home so she told me that I should be expecting her anytime this week and immediately my mood, which had been plummeting for some time, immediately rose. Then I was so excited about it that I forgot that my wife would probably be angry with me and when I went to tell her that Evelyn was coming back her face was sour. I had already expected her t
Evelyn’s POVI sat at the bar, downing drinks and trying to forget about my problems. “Pour me another, please,” I said to the bartender. As the omega refilled my glass, I looked at my phone and sighed for the umpteenth time. Still no word from my boyfriend, Alex, and no news from my father’s doctor either.Just as I’d prayed the moon goddess would spare my mother and bring her back to me, I now prayed for my father’s life. Out of the blue, he’d slipped into a coma, and a month later, the doctors still had no answers. Meanwhile, I lost hope and my heart broke more with each passing day.The pack wasn’t faring well without their alpha, either. They needed a leader, and as my father’s only legitimate child, I would become the next alpha of my pack if he didn’t make it. I sighed again as I wondered if the pack would be better off with my stepbrother Kevin in the role. He was a male with a powerful wolf.Conversely, I was a female with no wolf. If that weren’t bad enough, an ugly scar tha
I stare from Quinn’s nonchalant face to Alex’s petrified face. “You ungrateful slime!” I yelled. I reached for the vase on the room’s front table and flung it at Alex’s head. He ducked, and the vase hit the wall behind him, shattering. That I missed made me even angrier.Quinn wore a smug smirk as I staggered a few steps into the room. I shook my head. It didn’t feel right. It felt like something more than a hangover, like I’d been drugged. Still, I wanted to pounce on these two traitors, so I pressed on, getting dizzier by the step.Quinn’s smirk grew evil as she saw me struggle to keep consciousness. She looked like a villain whose plan was falling into place perfectly. I saw it, the mischievous look in her eyes. It seemed like it had been her plan for Me to get drugged, and be brought here, so I could find her and Alex in Bed. “What can you do about it?” She asked Me and I scoffed, unable to believe the amount of shamelessness I was seeing in Quinn. Then ignored her, turning my
“Who are you?” I asked, as I tried to shake off the wave of discomfort and dizziness that had suddenly hit me. I wiped my eyes. “You!” I exclaimed, looking at the omega waiter from the bar. “What are you doing here?” Nerves crept up my spine as I stared at the man who had given me the drink—the drink that had obviously been drugged.“Oh, come on Princess.” He stepped forward, forcing me to go back up into the room. “You know why I’m here,” he said with a wicked grin. “And your body wants it. I know it does.” I wanted to puke, “Please let me go home. I need to go home to my dad.” “I’ll let you go home”—he started to unclasp his belt—“as soon as you give me what I want.” I backed up another step. “It will be over soon, Princess. I promise.” “Why?” I asked, still seeing him through blurry eyes and wondering if there was any way I could escape him. He gave me a perverted smile, then wagged his brows. “Well, your body is a nice prize on its own, but there are better reasons.” I didn
Evelyn POVI struggled to keep my head straight, as I fought for consciousness. I heard footsteps and I knew that the weird omega was back. I staggered up, reaching for a weapon. My hand found the neck of an empty wine bottle. I swung it in an arc and hit him across the head. He went down with a thud, and I ran out of the room and directly into a man. “I'm sorry,” I mumbled as I tried to scoot past him.“Miss, are you alright?” he asked.I turned and saw the omega coming after me. “Help me,” I said, with panicked eyes and a voice filled with urgency.The stranger saw the omega, grabbed my wrist, then dragged me into his room. In one smooth motion, he slammed the door shut, locked it, then spun me into his chestWith fear of the omega still overwhelming me, I buried my face in his chest and whimpered weakly, latching onto his trousers to steady myself.“He’s gone,” said the stranger.I raised my head from his bare chest and peered at him. Despite my blurry vision, I could tell he was
I stirred in my sleep, my body sore from the business of last night. Suddenly my eyes shot open, when I heard my bedroom door open, and in walked Quinn. I glared at her and shut my eyes. “Sign of bad luck. I open my eyes and I see the adulterous stepmother of mine.” I groaned sarcastically.Quinn glared at me and she opened my curtain window. “You should get up. It's time for breakfast.” I peered at her. “You never care if I eat or not. Is this your guilty consciousness getting to you?”Quinn studied me, and I squirmed uncomfortably under her intense gaze. “Did you have sex last night?” Quinn asked.I shot her a surprised look.“Hmm. Seems like you did.” Quinn said and I looked away.“I have no idea what you are talking about. Get out of my room.” I said and Quinn walked towards me.She didn’t look convinced. “We’ll talk about this later,” she said. “For now, you have a pack function to attend, so come down for breakfast,” Quinn said and walked out of the bedroom. I stared at my cl
The next morning, Sophia knocked on my door. “Madam Evelyn. It's morning. Please wake up.” I turned in my bed, then rose and stretched with a smile. It was my engagement day and Quinn and Alex were in for a surprise. I was almost giddy with the prospect, especially since I’v done my own investigation and learned that the omega waiter who’d drugged me five nights ago had done it under the orders of one of the ‘higher ups’. It turned out that higher up had been Quinn.I smirked in bliss as my mind went back to the message I had received from the anonymous man who’d agreed to take part in my engagement today. We had agreed on his entrance to the engagement party and how much I would pay him for his appearance, while I figured out the best way to get rid of my adulterous stepmom and treacherous ex-fiancée.Sophia pulled me from my thoughts, saying, “Your breakfast is served downstairs.” I looked at her.“Why downstairs? I do not want to have breakfast while seeing their faces. I made s
