Evelyn. Finally, I was back in the comfort of my home, and now seated on the bed. The moment I closed my eyes to sleep, tears began to fall from my eyes without restrain. I didn’t bother to hold it back, knowing fully well that I had only put on a facade when I was with the people. Now that I was all alone, I couldn’t help the different emotions that overwhelmed me. Twice in a short time, I had near encounters with death. If I had not been lucky each time, I would be dead by now. If I was the only one who was closed to dying, maybe I would not be so angry right now, not when there were several of the pack’s people who were still fighting for their lives right now. The pack has lost a lot of soldiers from the repeated fights they had to engage in just to keep everyone safe. And then there was Gaius whom I had not seen eor heard from ever since he left the pack. According to the timeframe he gave me, he was supposed to be back in the pack before the end of the day, yet I didn’t see
Gaius. For what felt like forever, I managed to merge myself into the crowd again. I ignored the stares of people at how tattered I was looking. I had managed to escape from the cell I was trapped in and rushed into the forest. After running and running for hours in fear of having guards being set after me, I found myself in the city of the moon goddess knows where. I tried to find my way out of the place, but nearly everyone I stopped ran away from me like I was some sort of plague. It was either because they knew I was someone who tried to escape from someone or something and they didn’t want to involve themselves in my matter or because they thought I would harm them. Whichever one it was, it wasn’t helping my situation. Now, all I could do was get to busy areas and merge myself with the people there so that it wouldn’t be so easy to notice me among them. “Did any of you see a man who looks tattered and probably has a chain on him?” I heard someone yell from a distance. I knew
Cyrus POV. “I am glad you are here,” I said to the woman in front of me while dishing a portion of food onto her plate. “I hope you enjoy your meal,” I told her with a bright smile. It was a smile that I. ontinjed to plaster on my face for a little over four hours now that I had been standing and attending to these people.She nodded her head as I added another portion to the one I already served. Once I was done serving her, I expected her to walk away like the rest of the others did but she didn’t. “You are such a good Alpha.” She said to me with a grateful smile. She ate a spoonful of the food I served her and smacked her lips. “Thank you for feeding us.”“You are welcome,” I said with a smile. She walked away after that and another person took her place, this time with their own empty plate. I repeated the action I did for the woman. After everything in my plan had gone haywire, and almost everyone was pointing an accusing finger at me and claiming that I was a wicked Alpha, I
Evelyn. “How long do you think it will take before we are able to put up the walls completely?” I asked the workers in charge of the project. After the initial rejection from the Elders and some of the people of the pack leaving because they claimed that they could not wait behind, holed up in a tent when they wanted to be free and go about doing theor businesses, the fee people who were left finally supported me and helped moved the tents to the mansion area. Now, every one of them were there and helping out however they could.Some of them were these people who had volunteered to help build the walls so that the process would be faster than going out to loon for more people. However, it still didn't excuse the fact that the building was going to take a while. How long that would be was something I didn't know yet, which was why I intended to find out from these people.“At least three weeks, Luna.” One of them replied. “And at that, we need every hand on deck as much as it is possi
Evelyn. The news I was waiting for finally came. However, it wasn’t the one I expected to hear. As days went by and I didn’t hear any response from my mate, I kept my hope alive, telling myself that the mission was just taking him a while to accomplish and maybe he was just in a real tight situation where he couldn’t pick his calls or turn on his phone to check on me. But then, I got slapped in the face by this kind of news?Or did I hear him wrongly?“De-dead?” I stammered out, my hands held against the basket I had forgotten I was holding. Finally, the basket slipped from my hand and my eyes began to turn me. “Yes, Luna. I am so so–“ the soldier said. His eyes held the sadness that was laced in his voice. I didn’t bother to hear the rest of the words. I couldn’t even listen if I planned to. The ground under my feet gave way and I found myself plummeting to the floor, my eyes closed and my senses lost. The last thing I noticed before I finally fainted was that one of the men sur
Evelyn. Boom!The loud bang of something exploding made me jump to my feet from where I was trying to rest in the mansion. I rushed over the stairs, straight downstairs and straight to where the tents were erected. I knew without being told that we were about to face another random attack if we were not already facing it. “What’s going on?!” I yelled the moment I got to the tents. I saw people panicking but still managing to act composed. Each tents had two people standing close, ready to close the tent’s zipper if they needed to stay hidden from the destruction. “Another random attack!” Grace answered, standing beside me. She cracked her neck ahead, trying to see if she would see the incoming war. “Get in the tent!” I yelled at her. She didn’t however moved. I ignored her and also strained my neck to see if I could notice the war. “Luna, are you okay?” I looked to my side and saw the Beta standing there, looking at me and the tents to be sure everyone was okay. “Why are the at
Evelyn. “Thought I would never see you again,” I said without beating around the bush with her. “But I see that you are still trying your very best to act like my replacement by forcing yourself around here.” I looked at her from head to toes in a disdaining way. If she wasn’t aware that I was not in my sweetest mood to listen to her nonsense, then she thought wrong. If she had any brain left in her head, she would have realized that I was back in the moon goddess forsaken pack, not out of joy, but because I needed to settle a grievance. But since she was too dumb to realize that, I wouldn’t mind showing it to her. Her countenance changed the moment she heard me utter those words to her. I hissed back at her, daring her to try anything funny around me. She eyed me from head to toes as well, probably trying to think of an adequate comeback for my words on her. “What are you doing here?” She hissed out in anger, obviously not being able to find something workable to say back regardi
Evelyn. “Why would you even think that I would merge my pack with yours in the first place? After I know who you are and how evil you are?” I hissed at him. The man must have lost his mind. At least, now it was clear that the hunch the Beta and I had was not just an hunch anymore. It was the truth. He was the one who was truly responsible for all the attacks against the pack. There was no reason to doubt anymore. “You just said it now. It is your pack.” He answered. He looked at me like I was a fool for not even getting the point of his words and knowing about what he was saying.“Point of correction, Cyrus. It is my mate and I’s pack. And that is why I get to refer to it as mine because whatever belongs to my mate belongs to me. Not everyone will be like you where you are not proud of the woman you made your Luna," I scoffed at him. If he thought that everyone was like him, then he thought wrong. There were men out there who valued their mates enough to have them know that everyt
