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 “You should have your breakfast already my lady, or it will get cold.’’ Ava's persistent voice came piercing into my ears again.I sighed out in defeat, deciding to finally yield to her requests.“It's fine, let's leave!’’ I spoke up, taking one last glance at the void of the ‘human’ parking lot below, before leaving the balcony. My legs had refused to lift from the floor since I watched Luther leave, it was like my happiness had come crashing down immediately. My mate's attitude towards me too had changed. Was it the cold shoulders or the silent treatment? Probably a mixture of both! It was really eating me up and I was greatly disturbed. I had thought last night was really just all about a bad mood resulting from the encounter with Devon. But this morning? He said he didn't want to see me. He repeated it to my face that he wanted away from me for some time, he claims he needs a little space to clear his head and figure some things out. He walked out on me without
Evelyn's POV “...Maybe she would run a test.’’ He responded and my heart stopped immediately. Not like I didn't expect it, but it still got me shocked to my bones. I almost forgot that something like that was still on the line. “After everything is done and dusted, Alpha Devon will be kept in his place and the Alpha will return to being his cheerful self. This attitude of his won't last till this time tomorrow, I promise.’’ He spoke again and I swallowed hard down my throat. I didn't want him to find my reaction suspicious. I lowered my gaze from him to hide the shock and fear on my face, just nodding my head silently in apprehension to his assurance. ‘‘I'll be leaving for somewhere now, the Alpha had permitted me to go.’’‘‘Like right now?’’ I asked, lifting my face to him sharply. He nodded with a squint. ‘‘Do you need me to do something?’’“Oh, it’s just…uhm, I heard I needed to have some guards at my back on my way to the market tomorrow.’’ I stated more like a question si
Evelyn's POV After a few words with the guards, I found the second one fit for what I needed them for. I dismissed the first and went down with the chosen one to sort for another guard. I told him my intentions as we walked down the stairs. Shocked and surprised, he turned to face me abruptly. “Now don't give me that look, you don't know exactly what's going on.’’ I snapped sternly. “But why…would you want to have her kidnapped?’’ The surprise and confusion in his voice was enough to make a person back off immediately. But I did not.“That shouldn't be your point of concern. And I'm not asking you to kidnap her, I'm just saying you should get her to some hidden place before she arrives Red moon.’’ I snorted. “That is abduction, it is also kidnap.’’ He insisted and I halted on my track with a stomp of my feet. He also stopped to face me. “Will you help yourself sort out a partner and carry out the process or you will keep blabbering words with me?’’ I stated with a very cold e
Evelyn's POVI walked into the chambers quietly, but I caught no sight of him in the living area. I closed the door gently and made my way towards the bedroom, but still no sight of him. I was really puzzled when I heard some noise in the bathroom. I decided to wait until he was done. I sat gently on the bed, running my eyes around while my nose savored the citrus and lavender scent that could not seem to ever go away from the room.After a few minutes he stepped out of the bathroom. I fixed my gaze on him upon hearing the noise of his entry, he was dripping wet right from his hair.His eyes landed on me instantly, and for some reason my heart skipped as our eyes locked. He looked away shortly while I cleared my throat as reality hit me. ‘‘Hey.’’ I called out silently as he walked past me to his closet. “Hey.’’ He replied huskily. ‘‘How are you doing?’’ “I'm… fine I guess.’’ I replied and silence followed. I simply watched him as he dressed and returned his towel in the bathroom
Evelyn's POV The sound of his ringing phone brought me back to reality and I shook my head immediately. I advanced slowly to the sofa to get the phone for him. “Don't!!!’’ I heard my mate’s voice yell out sharply and I wondered when he even came out of the bathroom as I turned to see him by the bedroom doorway. He had his palm stretched out forward to me, signifying me to hold on. I creased my brows at him with a puzzled look. “Don… don… don't touch. Don't get it… let it ring.’’ He stated sharply, slowly advancing towards me. I subconsciously turned to look at the phone amidst perplexity but his loud voice snapped my gaze back to him immediately. “Evelyn!! Look at me, yeah c'mon love…” He kept saying with a somewhat tensed smile on his face, leaving me even more confused as I watched him get to me. “Oh God.’’ He exclaimed with a deep exhale, pulling me into his chest while his hand squeezed my hair softly.Like we had just escaped a mysterious eventuality or we just got to see
Evelyn's POV I stretched out my body as my mouth flew open, letting out a yawn in relief. I tossed and turned on the bed, looking at the designs on the wall of my room as if I was just seeing it for the first time.I stretched again, rubbing my hands and legs on the bed, taking in its softness and silkness. The morning air was one to make me fall asleep again, but duty calls! I moved the bedding away from myself and swung my legs to the ground, looking over to the baby cot. A little smile displayed on my lips and I eventually stood up to check on my babies. They were still sound asleep, releasing lights breaths from their tiny noses. I poked their noses gently and a light giggle escaped my lips before I made my way into the bathroom.My shower was quite short, I didn't feel like spending too much minutes in the tub today. I wrapped my towel around my chest and stepped out of the bathroom to meet two figures toying around.I recognised the figures immediately, I should have known t

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
