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 All through the ride to the market, I couldn't help running my eyes around the busy roads. I looked at the various stands and people moving around with their wares.Especially when we got to the market entrance, the wares were too catchy to ignore. Coupled with the fact that it was actually my first time in the market, what did you expect? But this wasn't just any market, it was a public market in the countryside where various persons came to shop for whatever grand event that would be taking place in their hostage. One would get whatever it was that he/she wanted, here. It was literally the best place to shop, always busy as usual with many people moving about. Trust me, you had never been to a market like this one.The fresh market air hit my face as I stepped down carefully from the car. I had Calvin wrapped on my back while Carlos took the space in my chest, they were both asleep but I was pretty sure they would awake soon. I had fed them before we left the cast
Evelyn's POV “They have my eyes!’’ He said with a loud snort, like this was a confirmation that his claims had been totally right all this while.‘‘No, they don't.’’ I fired back quickly. Thankfully the market was too noisy, so the maids and guards didn't get to hear what he had said earlier. “What the fuck are you saying, Evelyn?’’ He questioned with a chuckle which ended just with his statement. “That they are not your kids for goodness sake Alpha Devon. Can't you just let me breathe well in peace?’’ I puffed out, getting frustrated already. “Why do you both keep denying it even when it's right in front of you?’’ He was getting upset.“We are not denying anything, it's the plain truth. How dare you come out of the blues to claim my children?’’ I barked back at him. “Why do you keep limiting their ownership to yourself alone, because you know they are not Luther's right?’’ He came at me with a sly smirk. I swallowed nothing down my throat briefly. I did call them mine most ti
Evelyn's POV All I can do is purse my lips as I look through the moving car window. My eyes were on the busy roads but my thoughts were totally about something else. Alpha Devon!My conversation with him earlier, it didn't end well, everything wasn't over yet. It scared me even more each time it hits me that he would also be attending the anniversary celebration tomorrow. My heart was already beating hard like it was chasing the wind again as I thought about it, it happens like this each time the thoughts came. My heart pumps more than usual!I knew he surely came with some guards, he probably just didn't want to cause a scene with Tyler back at the market a few minutes ago. But he did make sure to pass a message across to me, one that is totally contrary to being pleasant. I know what he is capable of, and it really shakes me to the core. He must have some diabolical plans for tomorrow, he might just hijack me at the party…“We are here!’’ Tyler's voice broke the deafening silenc
Evelyn's POV He stood abruptly from the bed and dashed out of the room in what seemed like fury.I rushed after him immediately and thankfully, he hadn't gone too far. I caught up with him and held him back by his arm. “Wha—… where are you off to?’’ I didn't really know what to think, I had to ask. “How dare he try to flirt with you?!’’ He thundered. I swallowed nothing, giving him a look that read, ‘hope it's not what I'm thinking’. “I've been taking so much already, I can't keep up with these.’’ He yanked my hand off and made to leave but I hugged him from behind immediately. ‘‘You can't go to him. I promise he didn't try to harass me or something, he only said what he feels like and…’’“How dare he ask you to leave with him?’’ He cut me off in a loud voice.No doubts, he was totally pissed off and I can bet he would do anything at this moment. It's all my fault, I shouldn't have said anything at first. ‘‘What made you think I saw Devon at the market?’’ I asked him, still
Evelyn's POV The door suddenly busted open and I darted my gaze to it immediately, only to see my worst nightmare. “Wh..what are you doing here?’’ I shook my head, trying to hide my unstable state of being. “The last I checked, this is a toilet.’’ He responded, folding his arms on his chest as he relaxed his back on the closed door. “It's a ladies toilet, Alpha Devon.’’ I snapped curtly. “It is?’’ He creased a brow. “Well then, let's say I came for you!’’ He responded to himself and a proud smirk formed on his lips as he started taking slow steps to me. My eyes subconsciously traveled to his legs as they approached me. I swallowed hard as my heartbeat accelerated to space, hitting dangerously against my chest. “No…stop.’’ I eventually found my voice, moving backwards as he approached me. It took me just three steps for my back to hit the wall and my blood ran cold instantly, draining me completely as I watched his smirk grow deeper. ‘‘Wha..what…are you…’’ the rest of my words
Evelyn's POV I remained still on my spot with tears flowing down my cheeks freely as I watched the cars driving away.“Hey, c'mon! He is not leaving forever, not even for a whole week.’’ I heard and the not familiar Alpha came to view, he had a cheering broad smile on his face. I manage to fake a smile at him and wipe my tears, and he sends me a nod before walking away. “Let's leave this place, Luna.’’ I heard Beta Xandre’s voice behind me and I turned sharply and started to make my way out without a word to him. I feel mad, I am mad, but not at him. I'm mad at myself and even madder at Alpha Devon, but I'm also mad at Luther for no reason at all. I dashed into the pack hall immediately, using my eyes to scan for my children. I was so done with this party, I wanted to them to leave with me and we would return back to the castle. I walked around in search of them but I couldn't see even a trace of them, I decided to believe that Merit had taken them away. It had to be!I walked

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
