Alpha Devon's POV The aura between us was tense, no one was willing to speak to the other to break the silence. Or should I say, I wasn't willing to speak to him yet, because I already knew what he was going to say.I focused on my phone, ignoring his presence totally.We were both upset, a bad combination. So the silence is better I guess, to avoid further complications between us.“We both know you know that no matter how long you decide to remain quiet, we'll still talk about it when you decide to speak.’’ He finally spoke, I've been expecting it.That is Luther for whoever cares to know. He would always be the one to make one annoying comment that will finally bring up the whole issue, but I was not having it this time, I did not care how long it took.I remained quiet. “Letting her eat from our table wouldn't have cost a strand of hair from your skin.” He continued, upsetting me the more.I just couldn't get why he has to always defend her like this. What exactly is his thin
Alpha Luther's POV It was unconscious when the uncontrollable force pulled me and I crashed my lips on hers— something I had always craved for. A surge of mixed emotions rushed within me as I did justice on her fleshy lips, savoring and relishing in its tasty delight. I couldn't care more about anything else going on in the world right now. All I cared about was to keep reeling in the pleasurable sensations her lips had ignited in my system. Maybe I just could not stand her tears or I also felt broken by it. But one thing I knew for sure was that the mate connection I felt with her was beginning to act up seriously. I pulled her even closer to myself, trying to get all of her and consume her whole because I definitely could not get enough of her. A sudden force pulled her away from my grip fiercely and our lips made a wet popping sound as it also separated forcefully. My eyes flew open and I immediately regained my consciousness, only to meet Devon's scary looking green eyes b
Alpha Luther's POV I was literally frozen by his outburst. What was it he really wanted with her that was making him so unyielding? This whole shit was getting me annoyed. Why did we even have to get mated to the same person? Why did it have to get all twisted this way?“You know you can't keep her away from me right?’’ I tried to make sense to him.“Well then let's see about that.’’ He sneered adamantly and furiously made his way for the nearest exit.“This is about fate Devon, you can't take control of it.’’ I yelled after him but he seemed so resolute. He walked out without any other words and I sighed deeply. I honestly never liked it when we had beef. Devon had anger issues and so during times like this it was always hard to get through him.I'm pretty sure he would give me the silent treatment for the next 24 hours. I sighed out loud and looked down at the surrounding cities, it was really a beautiful sight from up here.I spent about thirty more minutes looking out from
Evelyn's POV I was quick to pull away from Alpha Devon immediately I heard the door push open but what I didn't expect was to see Alpha Luther.I quickly lowered my gaze to the ground, I felt totally embarrassed for him to have met me in such situation. What would he think of me now? That I was a whore or a slut? Oh no!“What the bloody hell? What did I say about knocking before barging into my suite?” I heard Alpha Devon say and I swallowed nervously.How could this be the first thing he could say in a situation like this? I slowly looked up only to see Alpha Luther's gaze on me and I quickly lowered my head back, my fingers fidgeting. “Luther I'm…’’‘‘Devon why? Why are you doing this…’’ I heard Alpha Luther cut in and I bit my lips.“What the fuck are you saying, I have the right to do everything I want to with her.” Alpha Devon thundered and I could feel pressure rising in the room. “Why'd you have to take things this far? It wasn't up to this. There were better ways we could
Evelyn's POV I sighed out sadly as I wondered how I was going to go about Alpha Devon's orders of shutting Alpha Luther out, it didn't seem fair at all. I felt at ease around him, he had a cool aura and he had been really nice to me. How do I stay away from him knowing fully well that I would be hurting him?Back at the passageway, it took almost everything in me to brush him off the way I did. Every damn word that came out of my mouth was forced out. I knew he was hurting, I had never spoken to him the way I just did. And now he was upset, I doubt that he would ever be nice to me again after what he had seen today.‘So this is it, this is why you brushed me off at the passageway? ’ I remembered his words to me earlier and my heart became heavy in my chest.It was never really my intent, I was just trying to make the little freedom I had had in my life longer.I never want to return to that dungeon ever. In fact it seemed the Alpha wasn't even planning to keep me in the dungeon
Evelyn's POV I looked him in the face, trying to get his actual facial expression because I really couldn't believe he was inviting me to eat with him right now.“I…should ...eat?’’ I asked again to be sure and he looked at me. His deep green eyes felt like they were piercing into my soul.“Why do you like asking so many questions even if you heard me clearly the first time?” He questioned me, sounding genuinely curious.I swallowed nervously, facing the delicious looking delicacies on the table even if they didn't interest me.“Eat up.’’ He repeated. “I'm…I'm not hungry.’’ I stated sincerely, without raising my head.“You've had anything to eat yet?’’ He asked.“Not really, I'm just not hungry yet.’’ I replied lowly. “Well, you won't be leaving this room until I'm back” He said and I looked up at him. “I'm attending a meeting with the councilors, I want you to remain here.’’I bit my lips upon hearing him say that. I had partly wished to come across Alpha Luther somehow. I don't
Evelyn's POV I rose to my butt abruptly, rubbing my eyes with my fingers to clear my vision properly. ‘‘Good…good evening, Alpha.’’ My voice came out weakly. “Seems you've been sleeping the whole day.” He answered and I swallowed. “I'm…I'm sorry for…laying on your bed.’’ I lowered my head as I apologized and he held my cheek. “Look at me.’’ He ordered and I slowly raised my head. “Why do you always hide your face from me?’’ His tone was flirtatious.I furrowed my brows at him, I was out of words to say.“I don't…know what you mean, Alpha.’’ I tried to lower my head again but he held my cheek still.“That is thing you did is just what I meant.’’ He said and I understood immediately. Well was I supposed to be looking at him straight in the face? I was expected to always bow my head around him. “Stop hiding your face from me, I always want to look into those pretty eyes of yours.” He said again and I suddenly started feeling hot.I shifted my gaze from him immediately, looking an
Evelyn's POV Upon getting out of the room, the guards tried to stop me but there's no way I'm letting that happen.“So I shouldn't have my bath?’’ I frowned angrily. “There's a bathroom in the Alpha's bedroom” That stupid first guard replied. Gosh! I've grown to hate him so much, from the very first day they threw me in the dungeon. He was so lousy.“So now you are saying I should use the Alpha's bathroom? As what, his Luna?’’ I asked again.He opened his mouth to speak but I guess he couldn't find the right words to spit out. I scoffed in disbelief and almost walked away but they blocked my way again.“I'm sorry Miss but that is what the Alpha ordered, we can't violate it.’’ The second one spoke and if not for the anger brewed in me, I would have listened.“So what should I do then? Use the Alpha's bathroom?” I yelled out in anger.“Yeah, you may use it if you wish. He'll understand.’’ He answered.“And also wear his robe when I'm done?’’ I asked in a haunting tone.They remai

Evelyn's POV After what felt like years of darkness I fling my eyelids open sharply to meet a blurry white surface. I blinked my lids repeatedly to clear my view when I heard a voice. Or should I say voices?I felt a warm sensation on my forehead, I traced the direction it came to see… Luther? Bloody yes! He was the one. On seeing this, my vision cleared up immediately. “Hey.’’ He called softly. I tried to sit up abruptly, but a striking pain hit my abdomen, earning a whimper from me.‘‘Fuck! Easy, you still need some rest.’’ He grabbed me carefully, helping me sit up. That was when I noticed a shadow on my left side through my peripherals. I almost jumped down from my position when my gaze caught Devon’s. “Hey.’’ His voice was so soft, it sounded weird. “What are you… what happened?’’ I faced Luther and eyed Devon again.“You're recovering,” Luther spoke, and everything came rushing into my memory. The immense coughing, the blood, my screams.“My children! Where are my childr
Evelyn's POV “Then should I get you water, my lady?” Merit came again, she was never going to get tired I guess. I ignored her yet again. She has been convincing me to eat something, but I wouldn't even respond to her.She sighed and finally left. I laid my head on the dining table, looking at nothing in particular. I felt empty. I felt dejected. My life became like a burden to me. I feel so sick and I don't know exactly what is wrong with me. Worse is nobody cares, or Luther doesn't care. He never came to see me, he doesn't ask after me. He hates me now. Even I hate myself. My children were the only pillar I clung onto. Their love was enough to keep me alive and waiting for Luther's forgiveness. I'm sure the pack members hate me now, probably excluding my maids though. I lifted myself wearily, dragging myself to the bed. I reached for my phone and stared at Luther's number, but a knock came on the door. The person came in when I wouldn't respond, and my eyes almost popped out
Alpha Devon's POV A genuine smile lingered uncontrollably on my lips. It was the first time in four years that I felt genuinely happy. The thoughts of having some tiny little feet pattering the floor sent a hearty chuckle off my lips. “We're here, Alpha.’’ My driver announced, turning the engine off. A fresh wind hit my face as I stepped out. I started my way briskly into the building. What could possibly go wrong now? I would be having my children soon! ‘‘Hey.’’ A familiar voice called out. It had better be my ears malfunctioning. “Finally. I've been waiting for you.’’ She came to view from the waiting room, and it wasn't my ears.A deep sigh escaped my lips. Turns out something could actually go wrong. My smiles dissipated.“Why are you here, Kyra?” “Why do you guys always ask me that silly question?’’ She said as she rolled her eyes. “There is no room for you here. You once misused your privilege, you can't have it again.’’ I continued my way inwards. “We both know that b
Evelyn's POV Trailing my eyes on him from his face to his feet, I knew at this moment that I both hated and dreaded this man in front of me. He was my doom! I looked away from him with a silent sigh, trying to gather up my nerves that were depleted first. “Greetings to you too, Devon.’’ I managed to produce a firm tone, even as my insides were crashing down already. Every word that left his lips, there was no way anyone around wouldn't read the meaning of it.‘‘What now? Wonder Woman in action?’’ He jeered. Somehow, I never get to miss his nasty smirks.“Cut to the chase, Devon. Why are you here?’’ I took a sharp breath, blotting up my true feelings behind an unaffected facade. “You know, Evelyn, that's one thing about you. You're so adept at gauging up your emotions. But I suppose Luther has been too foolish to decipher them, too consumed by his selfish desires to recognize your true nature! But well what does it matter now?" His previously furrowed expression transformed into
Evelyn's POV My heavy eyelids paved the way to a rather confined view, despite how much I widened them. It had become a mundanity every morning I awake, after my anticlimactic date with Luther three days ago. I sat up on my bed. Shoving my bedding aside, I went to the bathroom. Did my morning routine and retired back to bed. That is how it has been every morning for the last few days too. Nothing changed. Luther hasn't tried to come to see me, which means he was still really mad at me.I barely left my room, even if it was certain Luther never brought anyone in on the discovery. If my instincts still function correctly, then I guess the incredible knowledge was just limited to myself and the two colluding brothers. I spend the whole of my days in my room. I no longer see the kids often, except for sure they ask after me and are brought to see me. But they haven't since yesterday, and it bothered me.Sabrina isn't an exemption, except that I never approved of her visits. She had
Luther's POV My gaze didn't waver, I made sure to concentrate my attention on her and capture her every expression. She looked lost and confused. She was probably trying to think fast. But as I had plotted, she was caught off guard. She couldn't gather up an excuse quickly. My gaze on her made it even worse for her blink an eye freely, let alone come up with a believable lie. She slowly faced me when she eventually got the nerves to. ‘‘What truth? I mean…why is no one… drinking?’’ She stuttered, despite how much she tried to compose herself. “You know why. Spill!’’ I replied flatly, though my gaze on her said otherwise. She must be questioning herself inwardly, wondering if I found out about her grave secret already. But she's a champ at hiding her emotions, it was a little difficult trying to gauge her thoughts. Her shaky lips parted again, the curiosity to hear what it would say soared within me. But my hopes were shattered by the noise from the server’s entrance, quickly qu
Luther's POV She looked up to me slowly, and though I couldn't really see the look in her eyes through the dim light, I could tell solely that she had nothing but suspicion in them. Her question confirmed it all. I knew she was going to ask, she wasn't so dull. But I was not ready to disclose anything to her yet, I would make her wait and see for herself. ‘‘Luther…’’‘‘Now how are we going to find out if you don't get your round booty on a seat?’’ Devon cake at her, interrupting her speech and snatching my gaze to himself. “Language, Devon.’’ I came at him. I don't appreciate using such flirty words for my mate, it doesn't sit well with me. “Really? Whatever!’’ He rolled his eyes. ‘‘Lynn, sit, we have a lot to talk about.’’ I returned my gaze to her. I didn't know what was going on with her but I'm pretty sure fear was among them. “You wanted us to restore our brother bond right?’’ I started saying again, trying to ease the sudden tension in her.Even if I knew there was stil
Evelyn's POV I stepped out of the bathtub and went for my face towel, burying my face in it. I wiped my face before tying a larger towel around my chest. I stepped out of the bathroom to see Ember by my dressing table. I couldn't figure out what exactly she was onto by the table. She turned to me and a broad smile crawled onto her face. “C'mon, Luna.’’ She beckoned to me.A silent sigh escaped my lips as I started my way towards her. I still haven't been able to ask her anything. What if it happens to be related to her personal affairs or it has to do with her family life? Different thoughts keep haunting me, I couldn't ask her about it yet. Maybe if it happens again in my presence, then I will ask her. I sat in front of the mirror and she started blow drying my hair. “My lady, you've got a beautiful head of hair.’’ I heard her say and my gaze traveled to her in the mirror. She was smiling as usual as she focused on the hair.“Merit said it wasn't like this sometimes ago.’’ Sh
