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
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
Evelyn. “Aaarrrggghhh! Let me go!” I yelled as two men who held either of my hands attended to drag me off. The last thing I knew before I found myself here was the moment when Alpha Gaius asked me to hide inside the car while he went after the people who were firing against us. The next thing I knew was that someone banged the door of the car open. Here i co to d scream or get the attention of the Alpha, I was knocked out. Now I was awake and I found two men dragging me in the floor like I was some sort of animal. “Leave me alone!” I reeled at them again. When they continued to pretend like they didn’t hear me and continued to drag me off, I held my feet into the soup to give me some strength in order not to be moved. “Walk on your own or we will force you!” One of them threatened in a thick dark voice that was as formidable as his huge body stature. “Where are you taking me to?!” I yelled at them. Instead of getting a response, I saw them look at each other. Then one of them
ARIELI could here scuttlebutts as I approached the gates to my house. The day at work had been grueling enough, and all I wanted was a hot bath and some peace. But instead, I found myself drawn to the commotion just outside the building.Two guards were standing stiffly, arguing with a young woman. Her tone was sharp, and her gestures wet animated, as if she was trying to convince them of something. From a distance, she looked oddly familiar.“What’s going on here?” I asked, walking closer. The guards stiffened immediately, recognizing me. The young woman turned to me, and I froze.“Alice?”My twin sister stood there, looking all desperate and defiant. Her auburn hair was disheveled, and her blue eyes were mirrors of my own as she glared at me as if I were the cause of her predicament.“Miss Evander,” one of the guards, Brandon, began cautiously. “This woman claimed to be you. She tried to gain entry, but we could tell it wasn’t you by her scent just at the last minute before we let
Evelyn. “Welcome,” I greeted my mate the moment I sighted him from afar. I rushed to his side and attempted to kiss him. I noticed the subtle way he shifted sideways so I wouldn’t accomplish my mission. I looked at him but didn't say anything. I attempted to kiss him again but he repeated the action. I couldn’t help but think that he was doing whatever he did deliberately. “Are you okay?” I asked him. From all indications, it was clear that he was fine. I became more worried that I might have unknowingly done something wrong to him. “Did I do something wrong?” I asked, rushing to his side when I saw that he was no longer where I was standing. To that, he turned around. “When I walked in here, did I tell you that you did something wrong?” He snapped at me. The volume of his voice made me shiver and I found myself moving away from him involuntarily. As I took each step backward, tears began to drop from my face. I couldn’t fathom why it was that the man had snapped at me that hars
Alpha Cyrus“You dare!” I heard Alpha Gaius yell from where he stood at the entrance of the door. I took a good look at him and saw that his eyes were blazing red. Even before he moved with speed from where he stood and was soon standing in front of me. “Do you want to die?!” He growled and held my throat. I staggered backward and tried to move away from him but it proved abortive. I soon found that it was not possible so I held his hand with mine to get him to move off. When I realized that I could not break free, I began to slap his hand. My eyes began to water and I couldn’t hold my breath for long anymore. I tried to control myself to get my wolf out on the surface so that my strength would match his own but because I couldn’t concentrate, it was hard to come to terms with my wolf. I had to save myself. “Alpha Gaius!” I heard a man yelling suddenly. I couldn’t turn to look at whoever it was as my eyes were already closing to the dark oblivion that was reaching out to me. “Yo
Gaius. There was only a day left for the coronation of the Luna. Once we were done with the crowning and all, I was ready to bash anybody who spoke ill of my mate. Compared to the punishment of the Elder, the punishment would be worse. “Is everything ready for tomorrow’s occasion?” I asked the Elder that was in charge of the ceremony. “Yes, Alpha Gaius.” He answered, nodding his head to support his words. “Good,” I said, nodding my head as well. When everything was discussed about tomorrow, I released the man to go on his own. I was about to call the person in charge of the clothes needed for the occasion when the Beta walked in, a gloomy look on his face. “Alpha.” He called in a solemn voice. I knew that something was wrong somehow. “What is it? What’s happening?” I asked, looking at him. The phone in my hand was long forgotten for its purpose. Silently, the man handed me an envelope. I collected it from him with curiosity and quickly opened it to read. I sighed when I saw tha
Evelyn. “This one is hot on your body!” Alpha Gaius breathed against my neck, nuzzling his nose against my back, sending tingling tingles down my spine. I shivered against his touch and moaned in pleasure when he moved his hand against my breasts, and inched closer to him to give him closer access to the breasts. The clothes I was putting on barely covered the breasts anyway because of how transparent it was. “Hmmm.” The Alpha breathed. His hand squeezed my right breast while he licked my lips with his mouth. His palm played along my bare legs for a little while, then he moved them up to my thigh and he punched me lightly. "Ouch!" I said in faked horror. "What's the plan?" "The plan is for me to fuck the hell out of you," he paused in his words and kissed my neck. "And make sure you can't walk properly for the next two days after I'm done with you." I moaned softly. I knew he couldn't tell if his words had aroused me or if it was his wet tongue circling my neck. Whichever one
Evelyn. “And on that note, I will be holding a coronation soon for Evelyn to become my Luna!” I heard the announcement the moment I arrived at the open field after Grace came to call me about my mate punishing one of the people who were the protesters during the attack. A coronation? For me to become the Luna officially?“That is such amazing news, Luna,” Grace said with so much excitement in her voice. “Now, everyone who looked down on you will all get it from the Alpha and they won’t ever say anything bad about you again.” She said, jumping up and down in excitement. I looked at Grace and all the way he was feeling excited and I felt bad because I wasn’t sharing in any of her joy and enthusiasm. While a coronation felt amazing to be held for me, I had the kind and thought that it was just not worth it. Of all the problems we had, coronation was just not part of them at the point. There were other pressing matters which required attention and urgent care. “Luna?” Grace called, s
Gaius. With the anger in me, I swiftly moved to the cell to interrogate the assistant manager and see if he would be able to produce the name of another person that was under the influence of Alpha Cyrus and working in my pack for the man. As I walked through the corridor of the dungeon, a voice called out to me from the dark cell. “Alpha Gaius.”I turned to the side to see the Elder that had revolted against Evelyn while I was away and left her in charge. I turned very well to look at her and hear what she wanted to say. “I didn’t know you were back, Alpha Gaius.” She let out in a somewhat surprised tone. She moved out of the dark and came to the entrance, the bar holding her away from her freedom. “Please get me out of here.” She pleaded. I took a good look at her and wondered if she was part of the people I thought I could trust but she wasn’t there as I thought. If not, I saw no reason why I would trust my people to take care of my pack and my Luna but they would end up being
Alpha Gaius. Finally, after walking around and trying to strengthen the walls and station more men around, we were finally done for the day. Tired but feeling fulfilled that all was able to work out, I went back to the mansion, knowing that Evelyn would still be waiting for me. I got in and saw her sleeping on the couch. I sighed and shook her to wake up, knowing that she must have fallen asleep while waiting for me to return. “Hey, Kitty,” I called to her when she stretched and opened her eyes. “You’re back.” She said, sitting up straight. I nodded at her, and patted her head gently. “What’s going on? What was in the letter?” She asked immediately. “Why were you sleeping on the couch? You should have slept in the room,” I said to her, still patting her head. I knew that she was curious about the letter but I didn’t want to tell her anything so that she wouldn’t get worried about all that was going on. “I was waiting for you.” She said, yawning. “What was in the letter?” She aske
