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
Evelyn. I want you to come back to me!I turned from the side I was sleeping on to the other side, trying to dislodge the thought from my head. I want you to come back to me!Again, I twisted and turned again. I want you to come back to me!I hissed as I slept on my back, my chest facing upward, looking at the chandelier and trying to follow the pattern of the light that shone through it in hope of getting the words out of my brain. On!I want you to come back to me!Off!Come back to me!“Arrgggh!” I screamed as I realized that nothing I did worked. No matter how I tried to skip or forget about it, it was not working. I just couldn’t let go of the words Alpha Cyrus had spoken to me that night at the Lunar Gala about three days ago. I couldn’t help it when it appeared as if the whole of me just wanted to remember. Since the event of the Lunar Gala, I stilled my heart and tried to pretend that nothing was out of place with me, and that no matter how anyone tried, I was never going
Alpha Gaius. I could feel it with every fiber of my being that Evelyn had not been herself ever since we came back from the Lunar Gala event. She avoided me like I was a plague. Even when it was time for the Four Associates meetings, she always had one excuse or the other to avoid going. I knew that whatever had happened to make her change like that, it was the time she had with Alpha Cyrus when they were dancing back at the Gala. Now that everything was looking the way it was, I blamed myself for not insisting that he shouldn’t and wouldn’t dance with my woman. But the idiot had made it so innocent that he drove me to the edge. He had played the card of the people, knowing that I couldn’t have refused him when all eyes were on me to see what I would do. Even if I had given in to the pressure of letting him dance with her, I shouldn’t have left him alone with her. Whatever was happening to Evelyn now was because of whatever he had the chance to discuss with her the moment they wer
Evelyn. Life was so good again. After everything that had happened with me - with messing around in my head with the thought of going back to Alpha Cyrus, and ignoring the man that had been there for me through thick and thin - I was finally back to being myself. “Hey, baby!” I called out to Alpha Gaius as he came out to the living room. “Good morning!” I said once I got his attention. I blew him a kiss from where I was and watched with a smile as he pretended to catch it and plastered it right on his lips. Right there! How could I have thought of leaving a man who would die for me just for the one who was ready to kill me?“Hey, kitty. Good morning.” The man said when he got to where I was seated. He gave me a kiss on my cheek after inhaling my scent for a few seconds. “Something smells good.” He moaned in my ear. I knew what he was trying to insinuate. I slapped him on the arm to keep him back in focus. “Sit and let’s eat breakfast,” I told him. When he looked like he wanted t
Alpha Gaius. “So, like I was saying before, I really would love it if you and I could work together to bring Alpha Cyrus down. I would have loved to do it by myself, but you know that I am now old and no longer have enough strength for battle with a young blood like Alpha Cyrus and yourself. But I want to make sure he pays for all his atrocities toward my daughter.” Alpha James continued the moment we got to the office and we were both seated. Now that Evelyn was no longer in the room with us, I knew I could be free with the man and truly discuss what was on my mind. That was why I wanted us to continue the discussion in my office, where Evelyn would not get to see the kind of man her father was. “I do understand your point, Alpha James,” I began, looking at the man intently. “And I do want to work with you as you’ve requested because the man hurt my mate.” I shrugged as I said the last part. All the whine, my eyes didn’t leave the man. I took note of every single thing about him,
