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,
Evelyn. “How dare you!” My voice was a tone or two or even maybe three times louder than it usually was. I couldn’t believe my ears. After all these while, I was finally able to put a face to the person who made me have sleepless nights and always got me scared and lonely. How heartless could a person be to go as far as that? Especially to someone who was supposed to be their own family. “Why?” I asked after a minute. “Do you hate me that much?” I asked, looking at him. Out of all three of them - him, my sugar, and my father - he seemed to be the one who hated me the most. But I never once thought that the hate was enough to make him send me death threats. “Since you are no longer with Alpha Cyrus, I’ll tell you.” His voice didn’t carry any remorse for the things that happened. I waited for what I knew would break my heart once I learned of it. I wanted to tell him I was not interested, but I knew it would be a lie since I would always think of it every single day and would keep
Gaius. Holy fucking this!How could I have lost my guide and allowed this man to take me unaware?And to think that I was already aware of his antics, yet I allowed myself to relax. Maybe it was because I thought that if I alerted him to the fact that I knew what he was thinking about, that would make him back down. Little did I know that would fuel his anger instead. “No, you don’t!” I yelled at the man when he rushed over the table in an attempt to get the phone with me. That didn’t stop him. Instead, he flew over and stretched his arm to reach me. I moved my seat backward, and that was the first mistake. The chair toppled over and I found myself losing balance. Both the chair and myself were on the floor in recorded time. I hit my head against the wall and felt my eyes doubling everything in my sight. I blinked once, then twice to get out of the forge. Once I felt myself getting back to normal, I stood up as fast as I could, ready to move out of the reach of Alpha Jane’s, but I
Evelyn. My head was foggy and I couldn’t explain why. One last thing I remembered was hearing Gaius’s voice from the office where he had gone to talk with my father concerning Cyrus, then everything else went blank. Right! Gaius!As I wanted to stand up to rush to the office, I saw him beside me. “Gaius?” I called, unsure of myself for reasons I couldn’t fathom. “Welcome back.” He told me, hugging me as if his life depended on it. Welcome back? From what? Or where?Then, it all came to me in a rush. How I heard his scream and I had wanted to go to the office to help him but my brother had tried to stop me. In a fit of anger, I felt my vibe cracking and my body changing. Soon, I was in my wolfs form - something I had prayed earnestly for to happen since I turned eighteen but I didn’t get the luck. “Are you okay?” I asked him, losing myself from his embrace to look him over very well. My eyes fell on it then, the fresh bite mark on his arm. I knew without a doubt that I had done
