Evelyn. Something was eating me up. Something I tried my best to stop. Something I tried my best to ignore. Heck, I had done everything possible to keep it out of my mind, to the point where I worked myself to the point where I didn’t have any seconds to spare to think about it. But even at that, I just couldn’t. No matter how busy I was, no matter how hard I tried not to think about it, my mind would not stop going back to it even in the midst of the chaos. It was desperation. And it chased at me as if it was the very essence of my being. Like I couldn’t survive another second without it. And I was not being desperate just for myself or the situation at the pack. I was not even desperate for the threat that the goddamn person of Alpha Cyrus had made. I was desperate because I needed to know what exactly was going on. I needed to know what happened to my mate. Growing restless after leaving Alpha Cyrus’s pack and having no other news apart from the one the soldier came back with a
Gaius. The moment I opened my eyes, I got up from the bed and stretched at length, noting that the pain I felt was almost not there. If I hadn’t been observant and trying to feel for any, I would not have noticed it at all. Just as the woman who took care of me had predicted, I was now all better after a week of full rest and taking different herbs to surge up my recovery. “You are indeed better now.” She noted as she came to my side. She gave me a smile as she handed me the bowl I was now all too familiar with, including the content it carried. “Thank you,” I said, collecting the bowl from her. Without wasting any more time, I titled the bowl to my lips and gulped down the herbal drink that was in it. I squeezed my face a bit as the butter content filled my throat. It was what I had to endure for a week and I was just still yet to get used to it. “You are very much better now, so I don’t think there is any reason for you to remain here.” The woman said as she collected the bowl
Gaius. The soldiers were ready in recorded time. I stood on the podium, looking at each of them to make the announcement to them so that they would realize just how important this was to me. “We are going to Alpha Trey’s pack right now, and our motive while we are there is to get the Luna out one way or the other. If he is not going to release her the peaceful way, then we grab her the forceful way. I don’t care how many lives will get lost from their pack as long as I come back home with my mate. Is that clear?!” Sounded to all of them. “Yes, Alpha!”“Good. Let’s move out!” I commanded. Together with the soldiers, along with the Gamma, we left the pack. I left Zack behind so that he would be in charge of the pack just in case of any foul play from either of the two Alphas. As we walked to the pack, I couldn’t help but pray to the moon goddess to help me keep my mate alive. Just until I was able to find her. After that, I knew I could protect her myself and get her out of whatev
Evelyn. “Evelyn!” I heard someone yell my name in the distance. I wanted to ignore the person and continue to slumber in my dark abyss. Except that that voice of the person sounded all too familiar. It was exactly the voice of the one person I so badly wanted to hear these past few days. “What did you do to her?!” The voice yelled again. Could I be mistaken? Could it be the wrong person?Whoever it was shook me vigorously that I began to fear that I would break if care was not taken. Why couldn’t they just leave me alone? I had no more desire to live. If there was not the man who completed my world, I didn’t want to try and survive in the world all by myself. “Evelyn, it’s me. Your mate, Gaius.” The voice yelled at me in the distance. Gaius?Was it truly him?My eyes flung open instantly. I saw the silhouette of my mate hovering over me in fear. Hands cradled my body as they continued to shake me. I blinked rapidly to clear the fog in my head. Then I saw him clearly. “Gaius?” I
Cyrus. “Are all the men ready?” I asked my henchman as I spoke to him on the phone. It was time to go for another mission of raiding Alpha Gaius’s pack. If he thought that I was going to back away just because he was dead, then he was wrong. As for Evelyn, I could not wait to see the look on her face when she discovered that not only was I going to raid the pack, but I was going to frustrate her until she would give up the pack of her own free will.That was how evil I was prepared to be. “Send them out,” I ordered the moment the man gave me the affirmative that the men were indeed ready. Once I hung up the call, I smiled to myself as I envisioned how scared and devastated dearest Luna Evelyn was going to be when she realized that I was not going to give her the chance to mourn her stupid dead mate. The thrill of the distance victory seeped into me and I could not help but tell myself that it was closer than I expected. Knowing that I would not be able to sit still or wait until
ARIELLes and I entered the conference hall and I took in the sight of everyone standing in orderly lines, all looking curios and skeptical. At the front of the room stood an older, distinguished-looking man in a sharp suit, exuding raw authority. Beside him was a younger man, clearly our new supervisor. His posture was relaxed but confident with a slight smile on his face as his gaze swept over everyone gathered.“Is that him?” I whispered to Les.He nodded, whispering back, “That’s Kyle Meadow. Heard he’s a Lycan, too.”Of course. Just what we needed, another one of them supervising us humans. I folded my arms, trying to blend in, but I couldn’t ignore the way the new guy, Kyle, exuded this annoyingly calm energy, as if he owned the room. And the way he carried himself, it was hard to deny he looked good, too dark hair, striking blue eyes, and a voice that dripped with charm. But that didn’t make him any less a Lycan, did it?The older man cleared his throat, silencing the whispe
Gaius. I stormed out of the room and the mansion in anger. Even though I knew Evelyn was only concerned about me, I was still hurt about the suggestion that she gave. How could she ask me to leave everything and live my life as if nothing happened? Did she think that my soul and spirit would find rest, knowing that my brother’s killer was still roaming around freely and that I could have done something about him?Hell no!“Alpha Gaius!” Someone called out to me, breaking me out of my thoughts. I looked up to find my Beta walking up to me. When he got to where I was, he smiled and slapped a hand on my shoulder to greet me. “I can see that a lot happened while I was not around,” I said to the man, looking around at the damage. He nodded his head to confirm my words and I sighed in defeat. “Alpha Cyrus was responsible for everything.” The Beta said.I sighed as I heard the name that made me lose my patience with Evelyn just a few minutes ago. And that was the man my mate was expectin
Evelyn. “I’m sorry,” he let out to me, holding me close and hugging me like his life depended on it. I stiffened, not wanting to be in close contact with him. At least not yet. The words he spoke to me that morning before he left were still fresh in my mind and there was no way for me to pretend like it didn’t hurt one single bit. Because it hurts. Of all the people I expected to talk down to me, he was not in any way included in that lane. Somehow, though, he managed to put himself in that category perfectly. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you with my words and actions.” He said again, hugging me even tighter. He didn’t mean to hurt me with his words? Yet he told me that what I had fur him, all my concerns, were nothing but silky?“Please forgive me.” He told me, still hugging me. I sighed and hugged him back. Even though I wanted to stay angry with him for a long while, I realized that I loved him too much to do that. It didn’t mean that I wouldn’t let him know what he did
