Mated To One Alpha-Claimed By Another CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: I NEED HER
Kaile's point of viewEve has made it clear to me that she just said that to defend me. I have to adapt to this fact even though I know that it's going to be really hard for me, but I must. I don't know what's happening to me recently. I always want to be with her, and I find myself thinking about her when I'm alone. Thank heavens she has drawn out the boundaries; I must work on myself at this point. When she says that, I am in a hurry to leave. After she concludes what she is saying, I excuse myself because I cannot bear it. I open the door to my room reluctantly, dragging my feet slowly. With a deep sigh, I land on the bed, face flat, yelling into my pillow. I sit up in a frenzy, pulling my hair with my hands. What is Eve doing to me? I feel so restless just at the thought of her. I move to the bathroom to pour water on my hair, at least to clear my head, but it is all the same. I stand beside the window, and I see it is already so dark. I return to my bed, curling myself up. I look
Mated To One Alpha-Claimed By Another OBSESSED
Ezra's point of view“What did you just say? I ask Romeo in surprise. “I'm not saying I know. She looks familiar, that's all.” I don't know why I suspect him of not telling the truth.“Alright. I need you to find out where she is from. All the information about her, I need it. I'm going to give you tonight and tomorrow to find out about who she is and where she comes from.”“No problem, Alpha.”With a nod, I dismiss him, resting my back on the wall of the room. Funny enough how that young lady filled almost all my thoughts throughout the day. She should pay for it. I find myself wanting her. Is it because she's with Kaile or because I just want her? I want her and must get her. Strangely, she has few similarities with his ex-lover, who was killed. And till now I've not found any traces of who did that job. I'm at the point of giving up. Or maybe Eve is the one God sent to me in replacement for my dead lover. They have lots of things in common, and seriously, I can't wait to get my ha
Mated To One Alpha-Claimed By Another MEMORIES
Eve’s povI reject Kaile intentionally, not because I want to but because I should. No doubt, I'm really ready to be mated, but at the same time, I'm not. There is someone maybe in my life that was my lover or something. I feel the bond tug at me every now and then, and I really want to put in efforts to get to the root of this.“It's all just in a matter of time.” I wispher to myself. Kalie has said I should not get myself involved in this, but I really want to. The earlier, the better. After he confirmed it from me again that I am not interested, he left. I hope he understands. With a sigh, I throw myself on the bed in frustration. When he was leaving my room, I was really pressed to pull him back and take back everything I said, but it's not possible. I just want to get this over in a hurry.A few minutes later, I eventually dozed off while still in thoughts. The day has been stressful and burdensome. “Flora, Flora.” A voice called me. I searched around but still did not find the
Mated To One Alpha-Claimed By Another PERSISTENCE
Kaile's povAfter Eve rejected me, I decided to just stay in my own lane and not disturb her anymore, but when I thought it over again, I realized that it wasn't worth it. My persistence will make her eventually give in. I decide to take a bath at least to calm myself down. This night is really going to be a long one for me. My thoughts are full, so also I'm not feeling sleepy. Even with that, I lay on my bed, staring into space, thinking about various things at a time. Then something struck in my mind: Is Eve trying to investigate Ezra? That's why she did not accept me? It must not be so.Ezra and I happen to be brothers. Stepbrothers at that. My mother passed away when I was still so young, leaving me alone with my father and my nanny. I later got to know, as I grew up, that my nanny and my father were having an affair. I literally caught them in a room together. I was very mad at my father and insulted him that fateful day before locking myself in my room. My nanny came several tim
Mated To One Alpha-Claimed By Another THE FIGHT
Eve’s point of viewI feel this sensation in my heart when Kaile arrive even though I never knew he followed me. I glance at him and see the look on his face. He is definitely going to deal with me after all this is over.“Andrew, I don’t have your time. Eve, let’s go.” Kaile says, holding my hand to pull me along, but we were stopped by the fierce-looking wolf whose name is Andrew.“Hey, hey, hey, you are not taking her with you, Kaile. If you want to take her, you will have to face me first.” “So be it then.” I can see Kaile's hardened face. Does he really want to do this? His hand moved to his waist. What is he hiding? I need to stop this before things get out of hand. I pull my hand away from his to get his attention, of which I succeeded in doing.“What is it?” he asked, glancing down at me.“Don’t fight with them, please. Let me leave with them; I will be fine.”“What the hell are you saying?” He ask scrunching up his face at me.“This fight might get bloody, and I don’t want t
Mated To One Alpha-Claimed By Another HE'S FINE
Eve's point of view “Kalie!” I scream out in despair as he falls unconscious into my hands. I widen my eyes in surprise when I see the rate at which he is bleeding. I hold his face desperately, shaking him vigorously.“Kalie, Kalie. Please, wake up. You promised me you would be fine.” Unconsciously, tears slipped down my face in a torrent. I wish I weren't a minute late. I look up, and to my surprise, the warriors succeeded in chasing the rogue of wolves back.“Come and help him.” I beckon to one of them who comes immediately, giving Kaile a piggyback. I have to run to catch up with them. The giant steps he takes, one after the other, cannot be compared to my feminine own. I offer silent prayers to the gods to spare Kaile's life. He must not die. Not long from then, we arrive at the kingdom. The head of warriors, without wasting time, began to call on the healer, who came down rushing as well. This is a matter of life or death for their Alpha.“Where should we…”“... My room, my ro
Mated To One Alpha-Claimed By Another VULNERABLE
Kaile's point of view.I gaze up at Eve, her delicate features etched with worry as she prepares my meal. Her eyes sparkle like gemstones in the kitchen's warm light. I can't help but tease her, enjoying the flush that rises to her cheeks.As she works, I study her movements, fluid and graceful. Her hair falls like silk down her back, and I long to touch it. My injuries ache, but her presence numbs the pain."Eve?" I call out, my voice softer than intended."Yes?" She turns, a spoon in hand, her eyes locked on mine."Come closer." I pat the bed beside me.She hesitates, then sets the spoon down and approaches me. Her scent, a mix of flowers and sweetness, envelops me."Kalie, you should rest," she says, her voice laced with concern."I am resting." I offer a gentle smile. "With you here, I'm fine."Eve's cheeks flush, and she looks away, trying to hide her emotions. I reach out, gently tilting her chin back."Thank you for taking care of me," I say, my voice low.Her eyes well up, and
Mated To One Alpha-Claimed By Another FAMILARITY
I woke up with a start, my heart racing. The dream lingered, Eve's face etched in my mind. It wasn't just any Eve, but the Eve from the mating ceremony."The Eve" who had stirred something within me. As I lay there, memories flooded my mind: her smile, her laughter, her tears. And the realization hit me: the Eve from my dream was the same Eve I met at the ceremony. My mind reeled. How could this be?Eve, my deceased mate, standing in front of me, alive? I threw off the covers and paced around my chambers, trying to process. What did it mean? Was it just a coincidence? Or something more? I stopped before the window, gazing into the night. Eve's face haunted me. I couldn't shake the feeling, She's alive. And I need to find out why.I couldn't shake the feeling that Eve's reappearance was more than a coincidence. My mind raced with questions. What if she's truly my mate, reborn? What if fate gave us a second chance? I pushed aside the thoughts, focusing on the present. I needed answers.

Mated To One Alpha-Claimed By Another JEALOUSY AND FEAR
Kaile's point of view As we entered the venue, I couldn't help but feel a surge of jealousy. The dim lighting and soft music only seemed to amplify my anxiety. I glanced over at Eve, who looked stunning in her red dress, her hair styled perfectly. She was beaming with confidence, and I could sense the eyes of other men on her.I gripped her hand tighter, trying to reassure myself that she was with me. But as we made our way through the crowd, I couldn't shake off the feeling that I was losing her. Every smile she exchanged with someone else, every laugh, every conversation, made me feel like I was slowly being replaced.We reached the bar, and Eve ordered a drink. As we waited, I scanned the room, my eyes narrowing at the sight of a group of men eyeing Eve. I felt a growl rising in my throat, but I forced myself to calm down."Eve, let's get out of here," I said, trying to sound casual. "This isn't really my scene."Eve raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong, Kail? You're not having fun?"
Mated To One Alpha-Claimed By Another UNEXPECTED FEELINGS
Ezra's point of view I stood amidst the assembly, my eyes scanning the room. Then, they entered. Kalie and Eve. A collective gasp echoed through the hall. I felt my own breath catch.Eve's beauty shone like a beacon, captivating all who laid eyes on her. But it was more than that. My heart stirred, beating with an unfamiliar affection. For Eve. I couldn't explain it. This sudden, intense connection.All I knew was that I was drawn to her. Irrevocably.As Kalie's hand closed around hers, a pang of jealousy struck me.Why did he get to hold her hand?Why did he get to stand by her side?I pushed the thoughts aside. Focus, Ezra.But my eyes remained fixed on Eve. Drinking in the sight of her.My heart beating solely for her.As I gazed at Eve, I couldn't help but wonder: What secrets lay hidden behind those piercing green eyes? What drove her to stand by Kalie's side?I knew Kalie's reputation: ruthless, cunning, and power-hungry.But Eve seemed different. A spark of innocence lingered
Mated To One Alpha-Claimed By Another WEIGHING TRUST
Kaile's point of view I sat by the window, staring into the night.Kalie's words echoed."Attend the conference with me." Why did he want me there?Protection? Or something more? My thoughts swirled. Fear and uncertainty battled trust. I thought of Kalie's actions. His kindness. His determination. To protect me. My heart whispered. Trust him. But my mind cautioned. Be cautious.What if Kalie's intentions weren't pure? What if Ezra's schemes awaited? I took a deep breath. Consoled myself. I'll attend. For answers. For truth. And perhaps... for Kalie. I'll follow him. Into the unknown. And trust that he'll keep me safe.I rose from bed, my decision made. Maya slept soundly, unaware of my resolve. I slipped out of the room into the silent hallway. The castle's darkness seemed to swallow me whole. I navigated the familiar corridors, my heart pounding. Kalie's room. I stopped before his door, hesitating. A deep breath. I knocked. The door creaked open. Kalie stood, his eyes narrowing."Ev
Mated To One Alpha-Claimed By Another AFTERMATH
Kaile's point of view My thoughts betrayed me, conjuring images of Kalie's passionate kiss. I served, lost in reverie.Suddenly, I froze.Kalie stood before me, his gaze piercing."Hun..." I whispered, shocked.The room fell silent, eyes upon us."What are you doing? Why are you here?" I stuttered.Kalie's usual seat was across the room.How did he move so swiftly?My heart racing, Kalie remained still.Unblinking.Then, without warning, his lips crashed onto mine.The room gasped.Shockwaves rippled through me.What was Kalie doing?Public displays were unheard of in the kingdom.Maya's whispered warning echoed."Be careful, Eve." Too late.Kalie's kiss deepened.Time suspended.The world narrowed to our lips.Suddenly, applause erupted.The crowd cheered, whistled, and clapped.Flowers rained down upon us, petals dancing around our entwined forms. This gave me more courage. I wrap my hands round her waist, drawing her closer to me. Eve is already carried away by the kiss, but as I
Mated To One Alpha-Claimed By Another MIDNIGHT VISITOR
Eve's point of view I couldn't shake the feeling of being trapped. Ezra's kingdom suffocated me. I needed escape.One midnight, I slipped out. The forest beckoned. Freedom. As I ran, branches snagged at my clothes.I stumbled. And found myself at Kalie's window. Scratching the glass. A hesitant whisper."It's me."Kalie's voice. Firm, commanding. Yet, a glimmer of hope.He wouldn't hurt me. Would he? I slipped inside.Kalie's eyes become wide and concerned."Who is 'me'?" he asked. My heart skipped a beat.I revealed myself. And warned him."Don't touch me." The fear still lingered. But Kalie's presence is comforting, reassuring.For once, I felt safe. Kalie's words wrapped around me like a shield."You can trust me."Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes. No one had said those words.Not since...not since Mother. I swallowed hard."Thank you," I whispered.Kalie's expression softened."You're safe now."Safe, a foreign concept, but in Kalie's presence, I dared to believe for the f
Mated To One Alpha-Claimed By Another KALIE'S DESPAIR
Kalie's point of view I stood at the edge of the cliff, gazing out at the desolate landscape. The wind howled, echoing the emptiness within me. Eve, the light of my life, was gone.Thoughts swirled in my mind like a maelstrom, each one a dagger to my heart. Why did she leave? Did she ever truly love me?Memories haunted me: Eve's smile, her laughter, her eyes sparkling with joy. All gone.I clenched my fists, feeling the weight of my failure. I couldn't protect her. Ezra, that cunning manipulator, had stolen her from me.The sun dipped below the horizon, casting the world in darkness. I felt the shadows closing in, suffocating me."Eve," I whispered, my voice lost in the wind.Tears streamed down my face, a mixture of anguish and frustration. How could she abandon me? Didn't she know I'd do anything for her?I replayed our last conversation, searching for clues. Had I missed something? Was there something I could've done differently?The pain consumed me, a raging fire that refused t
Mated To One Alpha-Claimed By Another SHATTERED TRUST
Eve's point of viewI stared blankly at the wall, my mind reeling from Kalie's betrayal. The room Ezra allocated for me was cozy but felt like a prison. How could Kalie deceive me?Memories flooded my mind: Kalie's gentle smile, his reassuring words, his protective nature. All lies. Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes as I recalled our conversations. He had manipulated me, using my vulnerability.A knock at the door broke the silence."Come in," I said, my voice barely above a whisper.Ezra entered, his expression soft."How are you, Eve?" he asked, sitting beside me.I shrugged, unable to articulate my emotions. Ezra's hand covered mine."I'm here for you," he said. "You're safe now."But was I?Kalie's words echoed in my mind: "You'll regret this, Eve."Regret what? Trusting him? Leaving him?"Ezra?" I whispered."Yes?""Why did Kalie do this?"Ezra's jaw clenched."Kalie's involved with a rogue organization. They're using him to get to you."My eyes widened."Why me?"Ezra's ga
