Evelyn's POV I remained still, lingering in my spot on the floor. Not even an ounce of strength was left in me. The violent pinches from my tummy resumed and I curled up closer, clutching my stomach weakly.I didn't hear any more sounds from the guards and I started wondering if anyone actually came or talked— maybe it was my imagination. My hope of leaving this place is not up to the size of a mustard seed, it feels like I've spent my whole life here and the skies are only an illusion or a figment of my over-active imagination. An unusual brightness came onto my face and the vision within my closed eyes reddened, I tightened my eyelids in discomfort. ‘’Get up!’’ I heard a thick voice bark at me, echoing in the room. Now I'm sure I wasn't imagining things at the beginning. With my eyes still closed, I gathered every single strength, left in my nerves and pulled myself up, to my knees. My bones creaked and waves of pain enveloped me. I remained on my knees helplessly. How does
Evelyn's POV My brain paused for a moment as I rephrased through the name Miss Rosa mentioned. No doubt, I've heard it somewhere. “Show some respect.’’ I heard Miss Rosa snap behind me. I quickly bowed my head in deference to him.“Greetings Alpha” “Thank you, Rosa” I heard his melodious voice respond. “Raise your heads.” he commanded. It was then I realized I had been the only one looking into his face when he came in earlier. I sighed inwardly, lifting my face. “Remind me of your name,” Miss Rosa inquired. ‘’It's Evelyn.’’ I answered.“Go with the Alpha, he wants to see you.’’ She ordered and nervousness built up in me. I swallowed nervously as I turned to him, his eyes were still on me and a pang of discomfort overwhelmed me. Who is he? What is going on? What am I supposed to think? If I'm becoming a maid then there's no way I could have been sold to another Alpha. He walked out through the doorway and I followed immediately. Trailing behind him as he kept walking wit
Alpha Devon's POV I blurted out the words before realizing, building great intensity in the silence. The two other maids tracked my gaze and noticed it was on her. They scanned her body with their eyes, such that if it were their hands, she would have been naked by now.Though her body is not exposed in any way, considering the style of their uniform and the thick, hard fabric it is made from, she still looked seductive to me. Her curvy hips and full thick thighs stood out in the gown with her pretty knees, threatening for a caress. Their uniform is a cream colored, long sleeved fitting gown with emerald green checker design. She looked lost for words as I supposed anyone would, my outburst obviously caught her by surprise.Not excluding the other two maids, even myself. It was supposed to be mere thoughts but I guess my perplexity was too overwhelming. I spat it out without arranging a way to defend the intense reactions that was bound to follow. I quickly thought of differen
Chapter 11Evelyn's POV I settled on a thick sweatshirt with yoga pants, they will do well in covering me up from the cold night breeze, I let my hair down my shoulders this time. I usually didn't like letting it down because of its thickness, but tonight’s cold is kind of freakish.I checked my reflection in the mirror before walking out of my room. I wondered why I still have a room to myself, other maids shared rooms…even Alexa and Eva. I walked quietly to the hallway and surprisingly, Alpha Luther was already on the meeting spot. I kind of felt bad that he was the one that had to wait for me.“Good evening Alpha Luther, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting.” I said sincerely. “Fair enough, I just got here too. Shall we?’’ He stretched out his palm, surprising the hell outta me.I took in my lips and walked a little ahead of him and it seemed he got the message. He dropped his hand and we started our walk. I wasn't really comfortable with it; some maids were still walking aroun
Alpha Devon's POV I couldn't live in my fantasies anymore, I needed to clear my thoughts. What is hidden under those clothes of hers that makes her so alluring? Or maybe I'm the one with a problem cos even her hair down her shoulders right now, looks sexy. This is exactly what I tried to avoid by placing her in that dungeon, the thoughts of her grew pensive after setting my eyes on her yesterday. Is this love or lust?I watched her eyes widened in shock and she opened her mouth to speak.‘‘I...I…my…clothes?’’“You heard right.’’ I answered blankly. I saw her tiny Adam's apple move down her neck and back upwards.“What? You won't do it?’’ Her lips parted again and I waited to hear the words it would form but someone barged in. We snapped our heads to the door to see it was Luther.She breathed out, obviously relieved while Luther stared suspiciously at us. Game spoiler. “Excuse me, Alphas’’ She was quick to say and the next second, she scurried out. “Did I interrupt something?
Alpha Devon's POV “No…please...don't. I'm sorry, I'll be more careful from now” She rubbed her palms against each other. “You seem to have forgotten your status in this place. You are not even worth being a maid, you should be a mere slave.’’ I told her factually. I just didn't make her my slave because I was afraid the mate bond might have formed between us. I decided to make her my maid instead, to keep her under my watch; away from my brother if I'm to be precise.She was supposed to be my mate after all, I can't just get replaced like that. Why would she have a better luck of getting a second chance mate so easily? You could call it jealousy or whatever. However, if her second chance mate happened to be someone else I don't know about, just maybe I wouldn't have a problem with it but Luther? How do I contain having to see my rejected mate constantly, as my brother's Luna? Even if he claimed to have been joking about the mate connection plight, I still have this feeling tha
Alpha Devon's POV I watched his face form into a squint, staring intensely at me as of trying to see through me. He doesn't seem to believe me or maybe he is just unsure of weather to believe or not. I maintained a straight face, making it even difficult for him to read the truth of what I said.“You are kidding right?’’ He finally asked.He probably didn't get it through my face but what does he care? He is leaving already so he should have no business with it. I started my way out while his eyes followed me.“Hey! Are you playing games with me right now?’’ He yelled and I heard his footsteps coming behind me.“What if she was in the dungeon? You would go now and release her or what?’’“I just hoped to know that she isn't.” He shrugged and I almost scoffed out. We made our way into the hallway, discussing other random talks until I noticed Mei coming out from a corner. “Good morning, Alphas'’ she bowed, “I need to speak to the Alpha privately.’’ I exchanged glances with Luther a
Evelyn's POV I paced to and fro in my room, pondering what on earth Miss Rosa meant when she spoke to me earlier, whilst awaiting Mei's arrival. What kind of order was that? Why do I have to prepare to see the Alpha and why would the Alpha want me in his room at night?I exhaled deeply, trying to calm my nerves.“Alright. Don't be so naughty Evelyn, it's not what you are thinking okay? It can't be!’’ I assured myself, trying not to think deep of what it all seemed to be.But no matter how I tried, I just couldn't help it. She sounded like I was going to spend the night in the Alpha's bedroom. What could I possibly be doing for him throughout the night? It is crystal clear the reason he wants me there but I just can't bring myself to admit it, the thoughts of it alone gives me goosebumps. The door to my room opened and Mei walked in, with a shopping basket hanging over her arm. I wrapped my hands around myself in anxiety, inhaling deeply as she approached me. “You have had you

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
