CHAPTER SIX: THE INTRUDER

last update Last Updated: 2024-10-31 05:12:14

Eve's pov

I turned from one side of the bed, to the other, restlessly. Dripping sweat covered my face. I opened my eyes sharply sitting upright on the bed. It was a dream! My heart was thumping furiously against my chest. I moved my hands to my face dabbing it relentlessly. I picked my pillow to my chest squeezing it to myself. Fear crept into my heart slowly. This was the first time I was having that dream and it really was scary. I stood up sluggishly pulling up the blinds. The reflection of the sun hit me in the face reminding me that I woke up late. With a groan, I left for the bathroom to freshen up. Still in the bathroom, I heard the creaking sound of the door to my room. Someone was coming in? Who was that? I hurriedly washed away the soap on my face trying to get my towel hanged by the door. The dream! I was reminded. With fear, I tied my towel round my body picking up the mop stick near me. I wasn't going to give in. I must confront whoever the intruder might be. As I stood near the door in alert, I had second thoughts. Was it Kaile? Was it Macy? Still in thoughts, the footsteps drew nearer, nearer, nearer. I could now hear my heart beat against the silence. My hand instinctively went to the knob ready to attack as well but I was caught off guard when the person pulled the door open dragging me out of the bathroom. The unaware intrude made the mop stick fall from my hand. A scream leapt out of my throat. Fear!

Not giving in, I tried dragging myself out of the masculine huge hands but it was all to no avail. The man was stronger than I am. I continued with my scream, that was the only defence I could think of. The man was stronger. Not wanting to be caught, he covered my mouth with his hands pinning me to the wall. He moved his face into the crook of my neck wisphering only what was known to him. I wasn't feeling any pleasure. All I was feeling was fear of the unknown and fear of how to survive. Then my chance came! One of his fingers entered my mouth not on purpose. Without thinking twice, I closed my teeth on the finger which was covering my mouth. That was it! My defence. He yelled hurtfully, but I wasn't ready to let go. His screams and yells brought almost everyone running into my room. Tears of relief dripped down my face. I was saved. The trauma was so much for me. Whoever pulled the mab wast from me, I wasn't aware. My mind is clouded. Slowly, I slid to the floor as more tears flowed down my eyes but I was caught at the last minute by that strong, fierce man. Kaile! He put his jacket around me possessively making me come to reality. I was on a towel all through. What I felt wasn't even making me feel embarrassed. I could not hold it anymore. I buried my face into his broad chest and wept. A tears of pain, fear, relief, confusion, all at a time. Kaile made me so relieved, he was very understanding and let me cry to my satisfaction. With hiccups, I raised my face from him looking down. 

“Eve?” I heard his gentle, soothing voice. As if I was intoxicated, commanded, I raised my eyes into his directly. I broke down again. What is he doing to me? I became calm after a while.

“What happened?” He asked.

“I…I was in the bathroom, them I heard someone walk in th…then it lead to this. I did not know what he wanted to do. I did not know who he was.” I tried explaining as tears slid down his face.

“It's fine. I sure will take your revenge on him.” I nodded in approval as he helped me to the bed that was when I realized that he sent everyone of them who came to see what was happening away. A feelings crept into my heart. What is that? Admiration? Feelings? Was i touched? Maybe I was after all. 

Silence permeated the room for a long while. He seemed lost in thoughts his face on mine intently. This definitely is not convenient. He is making me feel shy, embarrassed. Then the dream came again. It is really a bother to him. Should I tell Kaile about it? Should I not? Can he help me out? Come to think of it, he saved me from the rouge of wolves, he might as well help me out. I should tell him.

“Ahhhmm…” I cleared my throat wanting to get his attention. To my surprise, he did not move an inch. I was forced to poke him with a finger.

“You're still here?”

“Yes, I am. You want to say something?” He asked nicely.

“Yes, I had a dream.”

“Dream? When was that? About what?” He asked all at once. I could see the concern in his eyes even though he tried his best to hide it as possible. 

“It was this morning. In the dream, I saw myself happily married to an Alpha. I noticed in the dream that it was a marriage of convenience some what yet, he took good care of me and I as well did not fail to act as I should. The pack members was not left out, they loved our union except two set of people. I did not see their face though but they were the two genders. It seemed they were plotting against myself and the Alpha. I actually cannot really remember what happened next but I saw myself trapped by a man who forced a drink down my throat. The reaction was instant, I fell down unconscious. That was what I saw before I woke up.” 

As I finished saying this, I saw something flash through Kaile’s eyes but I couldn't pinpoint what exactly before he looked normal again.

“Did you see where you were? I mean did you recognize the place? How does it look like?”

“I did not notice that. I really don't know.” Kaile seemed to be thinking of what I told him. It seems to bother him a lot because of the way he scrunched up his face. What was happening? Does he know anything about it? Was he involved?

    Kaile's povI left Eve's room to mine worry-stricken. I felt anger boil from within me, does she have to pass through all this? My mind flashed back to the man who wanted to have something with her. I reversed my step to my seat in the main hall. Not disappointed, I met him on his knees with his hands tied behind him. I smirked dangerously as I walked towards him. I am going to get my revenge on touching Eve. Eve? Am I been possessive? Anyhow it looks like, I'm not. I took my sit slowly my eyes on the man all through. As if the man senses the boiling anger from me, he bowed his head in regret. It is too late.“Young man, look at me.” I commanded with disgust. He was still battling with himself.“I won't repeat myself.” I warned. This time he met my eyes but not for long. If looks could kill, he probably might have been dead.“Are you not one of the servant I put in charge to guide her door?” His face looks familiar. Is he one of them?

We are both going to be mated soon but I still feel drawn to my first love. She appears in my dream once in a while so her memory still remains fresh. I will have prefer to remain single but the pack boards won't allow that. I was drawn from my thoughts by a hand which trailed my neck down to my face. Looking up, all to see it is Lydia. A silent sigh escaped my lips as I force a smile towards her.“Good morning, Alpha.”“Morning.” I reply her coldly.“When did you arrive at the pack? I heard that you followed your brother somewhere.” I enquire.“Yes, I did. I arrived this morning.”“Where did you go to if I my ask?” I can see hesitation as I ask her the question. Why is she hesitating? Is she hidi

I was reveried from my train of thoughts by a knock on the door. My heart skipped a bit; the trauma caused by the intruder was still there. “Who is there? Come in.” I said with a shaking voice. I feel relieved when I see that it is a maid. “I hope this message meets you well, young lady. I was asked to deliver this outfit to you by Alpha,” she bowed curtly. “Oh…thanks.” After collecting the outfit from her, she left. There is this eagerness I feel as I start to untie the wrap. Was the dress beautiful? The answer to my question stared directly at me when I unreveiled the package. The dress is anything far from beautiful; it is stunning; any other word to describe it should be used. With caution, I pick up the dress, putting it out at length so I can savour the view. Without wasting time, I pull the dress over my head

I could not sleep sound because of the countless nightmares disrupting my sleep. The reflection of the sun through my transparent curtain is sent to wake me up as it points directly to my eyes. With a groan, I pulled the duvet away from my body. That reminds me! Today is the mating ceremony. A smile crept my face. Why I'm I smiling exactly? Preparations starts in earnest. I'm an invited guest so it won't be too good if I appear there late. I needed to remind Eve and wake her up if possible that if she is still asleep but I should not appear before her looking so shabby. I ring the bell near the door. Not long after, one of my maids step in with caution.“Good morning, Alpha.”“Morning. I need you to go to Eve and remind her about the mating ceremony we will be leaving for in the next few hours.”“Noted, Alpha.” That been

She is all of a sudden acting cute when we arrive at the ceremony venue and giving me the cold shoulders when we get back home. Did I do something other than not compliment her? The anger within me grows the more when I see that Ezra's gaze is fixed on Eve instead of his mate. I feel like plucking those evil eyes; who is he to look at her like that? Still lost in thoughts, Eve taps me. Is she fine now? I feel hopeful.“What is it Eve?” I ask tenderly, looking into her, yes, but she isn't meeting mine.“Excuse me for a moment; I need to use the restroom.”“Let me follow you there.”“Hun…don't worry. I can find my way and back.” Is it my thinking, or does she look shy?“Are you really sure about this? I can follow you.”“You really should not do this, Alpha. I will be back.” She says, standing up dismissively. I have no choice; let her do what she wants. I look at her re

    Eve’s povWhen I set my eyes on Ezra, there is this familiar feeling that springs up, just as if I’ve seen him from somewhere. Not only that, my heart tinkles as if we were once lovers. When I collided with him on my way back to the ceremony, the wave hit me, making me feel dizzy. Matters become worse when I see his beta, Romeo. I lose consciousness. My eyes fluster open on a strange bed, in a strange room, or perhaps the argument between Ezra and someone else stirred me. I am beyond surprised when I notice that the person is Kaile.“What'm I doing here?” I ask myself. My eyes widen when I see that Kaile wants to throw a punch to Ezra. I stand up instinctively. They should not be fighting over me. ‘Stop!” I exclaim, making Kaile’s hand freeze in the air. He turned to me.“Eve! Are you okay?” He whispered with care.“I’m… I’m fine. Where am I?” I ask in confusion. Before he replies, he exchanges a knowing glance with Kaile. What is going on?“It’s okay, Eve. Let me get you out of here.

    Kaile's point of view As we rode towards Ezra's kingdom, I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had been growing inside me since Eve told me about her dream. She had been so casual about it, so matter-of-fact, but I could sense the underlying tension in her voice.I glanced over at her, watching as the wind whipped through her hair. She was so beautiful, so strong and determined. But I knew that she was also vulnerable, that the dream had unsettled her in ways that she couldn't even begin to understand.I felt a pang of jealousy, of possessiveness. Who was this Ezra person, and why was he featuring in Eve's dreams? I knew that I had no right to feel this way, that Eve was free to dream about whoever she wanted. But I couldn't help the way I felt.As we rode, I found myself stealing glances at Eve, trying to read her expression. Was she thinking about Ezra? Was she wondering what it would be like to be with him?I felt a surge of frustration, of anger. Why was I letting this

    Eve's point of view Kaile's words sent a shiver down my spine. I knew that I had stumbled upon something important, something that could potentially uncover the identity of the killer."What do you know about the black dagger?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Kaile's eyes locked onto mine, his expression intense. "I've heard rumors of a black dagger being used in ancient rituals," he said, his voice low and cautious. "But I never thought it was connected to the killer."I felt a surge of excitement mixed with fear. We were getting close to uncovering the truth, but we were also getting closer to danger."We need to tell Ezra about this," I said, my voice firm.Kaile nodded in agreement. "I'll go get him. But Eve, we need to be careful. If the killer is using a black dagger, we don't know what they're capable of."I nodded, feeling a sense of trepidation. We were playing with fire, but we had to see this through.As Kaile turned to leave, I called out to him. "Kaile."He tur

Should I tell Kaile too?I shook my head, pushing the thought aside. It was late, and I was too tired to think clearly. I would decide what to do in the morning.I walked over to the washbasin and splashed some cold water on my face, trying to clear my head. The cool water was refreshing, and I felt a little more alert.I dried my face and walked back to bed, my mind still whirling with thoughts of the dream and the black dagger. I climbed into bed and pulled the covers up to my chin, trying to shut out the thoughts and get some rest.But as I lay there, I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. The dream had felt so real, and the image of the black dagger kept flashing in my mind.I sighed and closed my eyes, trying to will myself to sleep.

    Eve's point of view I was caught off guard by Kaile's sudden kiss. I had been about to apologize, to tell him that I couldn't return his feelings. But then his lips were on mine, and everything else melted away.At first, I was stiff, unsure of how to react. But as Kaile's kiss deepened, I felt myself relaxing, felt myself getting lost in the sensation of his lips on mine.It was like nothing I had ever experienced before. Kaile's kiss was passionate and demanding, but it was also gentle and tender. He kissed me like he meant it, like he was pouring his heart and soul into every moment.I felt myself getting swept up in the kiss, felt myself responding to Kaile's passion. My arms crept up around his neck, pulling him closer as our lips moved together.For a moment, I forgot about everything else. I forgot about Ezra, forgot about the danger that lurked in the shadows. All I could think about was Kaile, and the way he made me feel.But as the kiss deepened, I felt a pang of guilt. I w

    Kalie's point of view I sat in my study, staring blankly at the papers in front of me. My mind was a thousand miles away, consumed by thoughts of Eve.I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had been growing inside me since Eve returned from Ezra's kingdom. I had seen the way Ezra looked at her, the way he smiled at her, and it made my blood boil.I didn't want to lose Eve. I didn't want her to be taken away from me by Ezra or anyone else. But I was scared to admit my true feelings to her. What if she didn't feel the same way?I sighed, rubbing my temples. I had to face the truth. I was in love with Eve. I had been for a long time, but I had been too afraid to admit it.The thought sent a shiver down my spine. What would happen if Eve found out? Would she feel the same way, or would she reject me?I looked up, my eyes falling on a small, leather-bound book on my shelf. It was a book of poetry, one that Eve had given me a long time ago. I opened it, flipping through the pages

    Eve's point of view I slowly opened my eyes, groggily taking in my surroundings. I was in my own bed, and Kalie was sitting beside me, his eyes fixed on my face.I felt a flush rise to my cheeks as I realized he had stayed with me all night. "Kalie, why are you still here?" I asked, trying to sound calm despite my embarrassment.Kalie's eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled. "I wanted to make sure you were okay," he said, his voice low and gentle.I sat up, trying to reassure him. "I'm fine, Kalie. Really. You can go now."But Kalie didn't move. He just kept looking at me, his eyes searching mine as if he was trying to see into my soul."Kalie, please," I said, trying to persuade him. "I'm really okay. You can go back to your own hut now."Kalie hesitated, his eyes still fixed on mine. But then he nodded, his face softening into a gentle smile."Okay, Eve," he said, standing up. "But if you need anything, you promise to call for me?"I nodded, feeling a warmth spread through my c

    Ezra's point of view I glared at my reflection in the mirror, my eyes blazing with anger. My face was a mess of bruises and cuts, courtesy of Kalie's fierce beating.I clenched my jaw, my hands shaking with rage as I cleaned the wounds. How dare he? I was the future king, and he had the audacity to attack me like that?But what really fueled my anger was the fact that Kalie had ruined my plans. Eve was supposed to be under my control by now, but thanks to Kalie's interference, she was now safely back in her hut.I seethed with frustration, my mind racing with ways to get back at Kalie. He thought he had won, but little did he know, I had only just begun to play.A knock at the door broke my reverie, and I turned to see Lydia standing in the entrance. Her eyes widened as she took in my battered face."My lord," she gasped. "What happened?"I waved my hand dismissively. "It's nothing," I growled. "Just a minor setback."Lydia's eyes sparkled with curiosity, but she knew better than to

    Kaile's point of view The healer's face was grim as she examined Eve. She muttered to herself, her hands moving quickly and surely as she worked."What did they give her?" the healer asked, her voice sharp with concern."I don't know," I admitted, feeling a surge of frustration. "I found her like this at Ezra's castle. I think he must have given her something."The healer's eyes narrowed. "I'll need to run some tests," she said. "But I think I can help her."I nodded, feeling a wave of relief wash over me. The healer was the best in the kingdom—if anyone could help Eve, it was her.The healer quickly got to work, mixing up a concoction of herbs and potions. She fed it to Eve, who swallowed it down without resistance.As we waited for the medicine to take effect, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. What had Ezra been thinking, giving Eve some kind of drug? And what did he plan to do with her?I gritted my teeth, feeling a surge of anger. I was going to find out what Ezra had p

    Kalie's point of view I quickly carried Eve out of the castle and to my car, parked nearby. I opened the door and gently placed her in the passenger seat.As I buckled her in, Eve suddenly started to squirm and struggle, her hands grasping at her dress. "I'm so hot," she whispered, her voice husky and desperate. "I need to get out of this."Before I could stop her, Eve started to remove her dress, pulling it down over her shoulders and exposing her bare skin. I felt a surge of desire mixed with concern, and I quickly reached out to cover her."Eve, stop," I said firmly, trying to keep my eyes off her bare skin. "You can't just...we need to get you home."But Eve just kept repeating, "I'm so hot," over and over, her eyes glassy and unfocused. I knew I had to get her out of there, and fast, before things got any worse. I quickly got into the driver's seat and started the engine, peeling out of the castle grounds as fast as I could.As I drove, Eve continued to squirm and struggle in the
