Alpha Devon's POV I watched as he approached me while playing my tongue in my mouth.“I wasn't expecting you…’’ he spoke up upon getting to me.“That's why I'm here! You left the occasion too soon, was it getting too boring for you without your dear brother in it?’’ I smiled, placing a hand on his shoulder as I pretended to understand why he left.He squinted his eyes, looking from me to my hands on his shoulder.“Just spill the beans, what do you want Devon?" He blurted out and I dropped my arm from where it was around his.“Oh c'mon Luther, do you always have to be a stick in the mud?’’ I feigned with a frustrated groan.“Shall we go grab a drink?’’ He proposed and I shrugged.“I'm totally in!’’ With that, we walked side by side to the wine cellar.I grabbed a stool and relaxed my back and ripped out the covering of the wine bottle and it made a popping sound. I winked at Luther before pouring some contents in a glass for myself.I noticed he had been staring at me through my periph
Evelyn's POV I stood by the railings of the balcony, looking down at the sight below. The long awaited goods had finally arrived, some maids were busy bringing in the mattresses as the guards offloaded them from the car trunk.They very carefully loaded them in the store room. I guessed that by tomorrow, sales would be able to commence. I heard the loud thudding sound of footsteps approaching the balcony from behind me and I turned, fixing my eyes on the doorway expectantly. The long expected intruder finally came to view…. It was Ava. ‘‘My lady, it's the pups. They are awake already.’’ She reported with her head lowered. Without any words, I rose to my feet and walked past her through the doorway, going for my suite. She followed immediately after me, taking brisk steps that echoed. Luther and I shared his room since he officially announced and made me his Luna. But after having the pups, I insisted on going back to my former suite instead. It allowed me more closeness with
Alpha Luther's POV “He wants to see you.’’ I dropped the news, facing her with a serious look on my face. Such a look that would convey the enormity of what I just said. Her eyes widened in shock but later transformed to a look of surprise. She must be surprised as to why I eventually decided to let him see her, but why not?It had been four months and he kept insisting on seeing both my wife and children. I knew he had every right to see them, after all he was my cousin. It was just the fact that he kept trying to claim my children that pissed me off. Now I guess he is back to his senses and ready to face reality, he stopped being a maniac and decided to do things the right way. Though I'm not really cool with it, there was no way I could keep them away from him forever, right? He would definitely get to see them later on, someday. It can be today!‘‘He…wants... to see… me? What for?’’ Her voice came out in an exhale. “He wants to see our pups, he has the right to do so, Eve
Alpha Luther's POV I walked down the stairs to the living area with a straight face. Devon didn't need to stay at the waiting area, he was no visitor here and he knew his way around. I sighted him once I approached the doorway, he was sitting, casually relaxed over a glass of fruit juice. He probably decided to go soft today, because his go-to drink of choice had always been wine. “Hello brother.’’ He called out without turning to face me. He had his back view to me on the sofa he sat on, but I wasn't surprised. My scent was not one to hide beneath anything. Anyone who knew me too well, like my almighty cousin sitting right there would be able to decipher my scent even in a crowded room. “And good evening to you too, brother.’’ I answered as I made my way into the lounge completely.The ‘brother’ title was a sarcastic way we used to address each other but it turned out to work out perfectly well with our current relationship. He rose from his seated position gracefully, dropp
Evelyn's POV “Then get me the doctor, he clearly doesn't know what he is doing.’’ He barked back at Luther and I almost peed my pants. My legs wobbled, suddenly unable to support my body. The heavy slam of my pumping heart against my ribcage was enough to make my knees shake. Sweat poured down my back beneath my dress and the air became so thin and it was so hot; I was literally suffocating. “What the hell are you saying? Listen to yourself, Devon! This is the pack's doctor I'm speaking of here, she knows her job as much as someone with her number of years of experience can.’’ Luther answered. I couldn't help fidgeting with my sweaty fingers as I stood like an invisible fly on the wall. Oh, I had a partner!I wondered why Xandre was still here though, he shouldn't be hearing all these. I couldn't be more grateful when Luther discreetly dismissed the girls, they wouldn't have looked at me with the same eyes after hearing all these from Alpha Devon. “That's exactly why I'm askin
Alpha Luther's POV I pushed the door open and walked in. Her scents was still strong in the suite, which meant she was currently somewhere in the room even if I couldn't see her anywhere. Only a maid was in sight, arranging the things that had been laid on the dining table, since they were apparently done with dinner and the pups were laying in their cots. “Greetings Alpha, My lady is in the bathroom.'’ She informed me while I just nodded. I walked straight to the bed and laid on it as I stared at the sleeping creatures. No doubt that they did not really look like me but that didn't mean they looked like Devon either. They were still infants like he said, so why be so sarcastic about it? They will definitely take after me as they grew older, no hard feelings!I reached for the closest one to me, tracing his hairline gently with the tip of my pointer finger. They both had brown hair, like Evelyn's. Tiny noses, and pouty lips. They were handsome, just like their father I gues
Kyra’s POV I shoved the meal in my mouth hastily before dropping the spoon loudly onto the plate. I had already concluded in my mind that that was going to be the last spoon I would take. I reached for the glass of wine, bringing the rim to my mouth. I emptied its contents with three mouthful swallows and dropped it back on the table. I shoved out my legs from underneath the table and rose to my feet, moving my legs towards the bathroom. Once I got there I settled in for a slow long bath!I had dialed Luther earlier today but he had not picked, and he had not even bothered to return my calls. Well, he had better not bail on our agreement for today, or he would have to deal with my unannounced presence at the Red Moon castle. I was pretty sure he wouldn't want that, he wouldn't want the sight of me at the castle because of that silly mate of his. That's why I would keep threatening him with that.Not like he could possibly resist me anyways, I would always have him wrapped aro
Alpha Luther's POV ‘‘See you at three.’’ Xandre remarked as he held out the car door for me to go in. I sighed out briefly, placing light taps on his shoulder. “Try talking her out on my behalf, I'm not in the right state to do that currently.” I suggested plainly, referring to Evelyn. He inhaled deeply, followed by a corresponding exhale.“Can I advise you, Alpha?’’ He uttered and my brows furrowed. “Why are you my beta?’’ I blurted out, before realizing that whatever advice he wanted to give me might not hold well with me. That must have been the reason he had to ask me first.“I understand perfectly that the whole issue with Alpha Devon is quite overwhelming and frustrating. It is also ego puckering and probably painful, considering past events and encounters. But I don't think it is okay to leave her alone to cope with it by herself. She is also affected by it, not just you. And if you ask me Alpha, I would say her own misery is quite immeasurable to yours considering the f

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
