Kian's pov I grabbed another glass from an unsuspecting waiter that passed by swiping it from his tray and gulping it down in one single movement.“It looks like somebody's going really heavy tonight,” Hailey observed as she notched closer to me through the crowd with her own glass in hand that she was swaying from side to side in a disinterested manner. My eyes were locked on my nemesis, both of us were in the same hall, and all it would take was a couple of steps from me eliminating the distance between the two of us and then finally I could do what I had been yearning to for years but instead, I was slowly getting drunk on wine trying to hide myself in the crowd.Hailey had read my expression perfectly and she knew what was on my mind. She followed my eyes until it landed on Evelyn's father.“You know it's still not too late to take care of him…” She whispered in my ears as she stood on her tiptoes then leaned back with a wicked smile but I shook my head. “I've already been th
Evelyn's pov Words fail to describe just how happy I was when I was reunited with my Father. I had waited desperately for this moment, dreamt about it and now I could rest my head on his shoulder again. I could feel the strong embrace of his arms pulling me close into a deep hug that seemed to melt away all my worries. This was why I was not ready to tell him yet that his wife had been cheating on him even though I was itching to do so, but I was so afraid of a relapse that I wanted to wait even as I dragged on the last strings of my patience to see my pretentious stepmother throw her arms around him and her crocodile tears running down as she pretended to miss him more than life itself when she had been the one advocating for him to be taken off life support. Father seemed to enjoy his welcome back party but I noticed that after he disappeared with my husband and when he reappeared, he was acting rather strangely. When I approached him about this he just gave me a broad skin deep
Evelyn’s pov The scratching of my slippers alerted the two meals in the kitchen as their heads both snapped toward my direction at the same time. With a sigh of defeat, I revealed myself to both of them stepping into the kitchen.I searched my throat for the most appropriate words to say after stepping in on them just after eavesdropping on their conversation and I was lost, so I remained swinging from side to side with my hands clasped behind me and my eyes on my father. They staggered over to Alex for a moment out of curiosity. He had his jaw on the floor, and for my father, he didn't appear so surprised he slapped Alex on the shoulder and then urged me with a wave of his hand to join them.“Really?” I asked and he nodded with all but enough force to have his head dislocated from his body.I scratched my feet with every step scratching against the tiled floor, if my father noticed he definitely didn't point it out then finally I stood across from Alex who was avoiding my gaze, hi
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
