Gaius. “If you’ll excuse me then.”Those words and the walking away of footsteps brought me back to the present. That was when I realized how much o had messed up the date I managed to summon up the courage to get her to have with me. But it wasn’t that I wanted to mess up. It was just that when I walked in and saw how beautiful she looked, I had gotten lost in my head, with a lot of thoughts. Even though I tried my best to make sure that I didn’t lose myself in my wild thoughts, I couldn’t help it. I was mesmerized by her. Even when I knew that she was speaking to me, I was so lost in how melodious her voice sounded that I didn’t know what to say in response to her words. I just wanted to continue to listen to her speak while I drowned in her voice. I wasn’t ashamed to admit to myself, if not to anyone else, that I had been mesmerized by the woman ever since I found out that she was my mate. I had wanted to hold her in my arms since then and whisper words to her. Words that wou
Gaius. I jolted back to life like someone who was being chased. By the time I would open my eyes and look around, I was a little bit confused about where I was. A movement beside me woke me up fully and I gasped as I realized that I was with Evelyn. The activity of the day ran through my mind and I heaved a sigh. The way she laid there like a sleeping beauty made me hard. I sighed and got out of bed, knowing that staying there would do no good since it would only make me keep wanting her. I noticed as I put on my dress that everywhere was silent. I peeped out through the window and saw that everywhere was already dark and the midnight patrol guards were already on duty, meaning that it was late into the night. How had I managed to sleep off for that long?I wondered briefly if anybody from the pack had wondered where I went since evening or if there had been anything that needed my urgent attention. I didn’t let the thoughts of any of that weigh into my mind. Instead, I finished d
Gaius POV. The Lunar Gala. Even the thought of it was enough to leave a bitter taste in my mind. And what was worse? It was only happening in two days. Two fucking days. Which meant only one thing, we had to do whatever it was that we were going to do very fast. Unless, of course, it meant that we were not ready to stop that man that we were after. But everyone was more than interested in stopping the man. Which was why we were at the meeting room in broad daylight, trying to see if our progress was going any further or if there was no chance of winning this particular war against the man. “How is it going?” I asked the other theee members in the room with me, looking from one person to the other. I didn’t want to give them to look away from my gaze but then that means that they had no chance. What was I saying?None of us had a chance unless we were able to progress forward. “Everything is going according to plan,” Adam answered, looking at me directly. He looked like he want
Evelyn. Clara. The woman who I had thought was my soul sister until I caught her red handed and knew that she had done nothing but lie to me all these while. It was because of her I had found myself in the situation I was in with Cyrus. As I looked at her, all the sisterly love I felt for her was no longer there. All I felt was resentment toward her. I held Gaius's hand and squeezed it hard to keep myself from launching at her and attacking her. “Long time now see, dearest sister.” She finally opened her mouth to speak. To anyone wise, they would have easily assumed that she was truly happy to finally meet her sister, except that I realized the taunting in her voice. Even her expression spoke of nothing but the mischief and cunningness of her heart. “I could say the same for you, Clara, except that I wished that I never had to see you again,” I answered with all the anger in my heart. I stole a quick glance at Gaius and noticed that he was already tense and at alert once he saw t
Alpha Gaius. Finally, The D-day was here. It was the day for the Lunar Gala that we had all been waiting for patiently - or maybe impatiently. It was the day that was going to determine if all we had planned for all these while would yield a positive response or we had failed to nip the buds of the daring vicious man we had been trying so hard to bring down. I made sure that I woke Evelyn up very early and we took our bath together to make sure that our scents rubbed off on each other. Once we got out of the shower, I gave her a light kiss and dressed up as fast as I could before hurrying out of the room. “Make her stand out,” I ordered the maids who were going to dress her up once I was out.They all bowed their heads in acknowledgment before they dashed into the room to prepare the woman. While I was alone, waiting and not knowing what else to do, I mindlinked my Beta and Gamma, Zack and Dan, to meet me in my office at once. Barely five minutes later, the door to the office was
Evelyn. My heart was pounding very hard in my chest as I was led away from the podium by Alpha Gaius. I had spotted my father just as we were stepping on the podium so I knew he heard everything that Alpha Gaius had said. I had half expected the man to climb the podium and demanded that I leave where I was and return back to Alpha Cyrus. “Impossible!” A man’s voice that I recognized all too well growled amidst those that were cheering us up. Everywhere became silent as all eyes turned on him. He ignored each and everyone of them and just went in a bizarre search around the room with his eyes. When it finally landed on who he was searching for, he made a beeline for the person. The person in search of Alpha Cyrus, who looked like he would rather be anywhere but where he currently was. “How dare you?!” My father yelled as he moved rapidly toward the Alpha. I decided to ignore them both and just focus on the people who were now asking questions. “How lucky it is for the both of yo
Evelyn. “Now, what do you want?” I hissed at her. I just knew that she was going to say something annoying. Something that would make me feel like hitting her on the head with a sharp object. I couldn’t, for the life of me, figure out why the woman would stop at nothing until she maltreated me or something. From the corner of my eyes, I saw one of the plain clothes guards made a move to come rescue me from her but I shook my head at him. If I needed saving, it wouldn’t be from a woman like her. “Cat got your tongue?” I hissed at her again when all she did was stand there and check me out from head to toes. If she thought that she could make me uncomfortable, then I was ready to show her that that would not work. At least, not now when I needed to know what was going on with my father and my ex husband. “You look… gorgeous.” She said, shocking me, even though it looked like she was going to choke on the ‘gorgeous’ word when she said it. I looked at myself after hearing the compl
Cyrus. How dare she?! How dare he?! How dare they?! How dare any of them? What was Alpha Gaius thinking when he announced to the whole world at the Lunar Gala that my ex wife was now his mate? How could he have made such a reckless move and I didn’t notice it right on time until it was too late? And Evelyn. She had supported him. She had given him her consent to do that, hurting me by her action. I wish I could just ignore the two of them and carry on with my life, but that was not possible. A lot was at stake at the moment because of those two idiots. And I had tried to rectify that mistake by trying to pull Evelyn’s emotion and love back to me, using the deep affection I knew she had for me before, but it didn’t work out as I thought it would. I had thought that all I needed to do was ask her to be mine again and she would disengage from Alpha Gaius, but I soon understood the error of my judgment when I saw that the love no longer shone in her eyes. Instead, there was some
