EVOLET“What?” I uttered at what Mom just said.Is that what she thinks?“Why that question? Do you think I’m dumb and don’t know the rules of that stupid game you tagged yourself in?” she questioned, glaring straight at me.“Just accept your failure, Eve. You lost the next round and came crawling to your mother, knowing quite well that I was right all along and you were wrong,” she scoffed, resuming with the arrangement.But she didn’t stop talking, or lets say attacking me emotionally.Mom chuckled and began to mimic my every words, when I stood up to her about my decision and desire to help our home. “We have a chance to escape this poverty. I believe I can be the Alpha’s Luna. What happened now?” she laughed, swaying her head.Her words broke my heart deeply. I didn’t know how to respond to this, but just gaze at her.She looked at me and finally said with a smile on her face, “Oh, don’t feel sad, Evolet. I’m still your mother. You don’t have to be worried about getting yourself a
EVOLET“He’s mine, huh? Sounds… tempting,”Cadell smirked, biting down on his lower lip, with his grip tightening around my waist.Why didn’t I see this coming?!I only wanted to ruin this big head’s moment with those ladies, but now I’m trapped in my own plan!“Let… me… go!” I struggled, pressing my hands against his rough and sweaty chest, while groaning out loud.But not too loud. I don’t want anyone recognizing me as one of the damsels in the Luna’s hunt. It might ruin my chance in the game, if they see me with a man.I kept pushing and hitting Cadell on the chest, but the perv wouldn’t let go. To him, “This is an opportunity for us, my sweet stalker,” he said, caressing my cheek while I shook my head, trying to prevent his sweaty paws from touching me any further.“This is a sign from the goddess, Evolet. Quit this hunt and run far away with me. Together, we’ll make the perfect couple. Me, your Perv, and you…” he drew his face closer to mine, “My innocent stalker. Isn’t that a won
EVOLET“Evicted? But what did we do?” I voiced out, stepping forward.The sudden notice wasn’t adding up in my head. Even though I was scared, my senses were still intact.“Excuse me? Are you questioning the Queen’s order?” Fiona questioned, stepping forward so she’d be seen by all.“You girls have been eliminated from the hunt, and you dare to question the Luna’s decision? How dare you?!” she raised her voice loudly.“Don’t misinterpret my words, Fiona. I only wish to know our offense. We haven’t done anything wrong, so why are we being kicked out of the hunt? At least we deserve an explanation. Isn’t that fair?” I asked, standing my ground.But that only annoyed Queen Chriselda and the Sorceress. I could see it in their gaze.“I think they deserve an explanation, my Queen. Please, what have they done?” Derby managed to voice out from behind, trying to help me.Her voice was heard by the Queen, who directed her gaze behind to look at Derby, sending fear into her heart.Derby lowered
EVOLETDespite their support for the Queen, the five damsels were still removed.Sorceress Thelma didn’t hesitate to cast a spell that vanished the ladies into thin air. Probably sending them back home, maybe.“You can all go inside. We meet again during dinner,” Queen Chriselda said, stealing a glance at me, before leaving with the sorceress.All the maidens were heading back into the mansion. Derby came over to hug me, expressing her joy in my luck, while Fiona glared at me with detest, before leaving with the others.“I thought you were going to leave me. I’m so glad that the Beta proved your innocence. You first us all to the mansion,” she cheered, embracing me tight.I gave out a smile, tracing my gaze to the one that rescued me from the Queen’s wrath. I need to know why he defended me. It has to be Allen’s doing.Seeing Beta Dean entering the mansion after the ladies, I excused myself from Derby and went after him.I wanted to call out to him, but I didn’t want the others, espec
EVOLET“Are you serious right now? You think Beta Dean is a Pervert?” I was astonished by Cadell’s accusation. He thinks the Beta only helped me just to get under my skirt!“That’s sick! He’s nothing like that!””Don’t let cute talks and innocent gazes fool you, Evolet. I know a perv when I see one.”“Oh really? So, you’re now an expert in telling who is who?” I asked, crossing my arms at Cadell.He lifted his brow with seriousness, still standing on his word. I didn’t want to believe that a man like Beta Dean carries such canal thoughts within, like Cadell.He’s a gentle man with morals. This Perv is just trying to scare me with his so-called claim.“Expert or not. I am no fool. Just make sure he doesn’t near you,” he warned, walking towards the bed where I sat.I got to my feet and asked, keeping my distance away from him. “ And if he does? What are you going to do?”In a sudden brief moment, Cadell glared at me with no words. His brown eyes flashed silver, causing my heart to skip
EVOLETFinally, after praying to the heavens to bring us together again, the Goddess has done it. She has brought my Allen before my eyes.I remained still, gazing into the eyes of my Alpha, unable to voice out my deepest feelings for him.He stared into my eyes beautifully, as he moved his lips slowly, trying to make some words.“But what do I want to say to him? Should I wait for him to speak up first? What if he wants me to do the talking?!” I panicked within, lowering my gaze with a blush spreading across my cheek.“Maybe I should talk to him first. Yes, that would be best,” I decided, slowly tucking my hair to the back of my ear.Clearing my throat a bit, I opened my lips to speak when Allen’s voice came in, stopping me in my track. “What are you doing out here?”“Oh, me?” I asked, feeling embarrassed while trying to look at his handsome face. But it was hard for me to maintain an eye contact with Allen.I could only blush, dropping my gaze down again. But when I directed my eyes
EVOLET“Are you okay?”“Huh?” I snapped out of my thoughts, turning over to the left to look at Derby.We were sitting in the living room of the mansion with other damsels, patiently waiting for Alpha Allen to show up and conduct the meeting.Derby and I sat away from the others. They were busy chatting with Fiona, talking about Allen. But ever since I got there, I’ve been lost in thoughts, feeling… worried.“I’ve been talking, but you didn’t say a thing.”“Really? Oh, I’m so sorry, “ I apologized, letting out a smile. But Derby didn’t return it back.She stared at me with concern in her gaze, asking while placing her hand on my shoulder, “Is everything okay?”“Everything is fine,” I said, widening my grin. Still, she wasn’t buying it.“Tell me the truth. Did that freak, bother you in anyway?” she dimmed her eyes towards Fiona’s direction, groaning.When I heard that sound, I chuckled at Derby, patting her on the cheek. “No, she didn’t do anything this time. I’ve just been… Well, I’ve
EVOLET“What happened in there?”I sat on the floor in my room, thinking about my encounter with Allen and what transpired between us.“Everything was going so well with us, and the moment I reminded Allen of our first time together, he just flared at me. Did I do something wrong?” I pondered on, feeling troubled.Due to the stress, I had to leave that area without waiting for Derby. The sudden shock frightened me to the core.I wasn’t expecting such reaction from Allen.Not at all.“Goodness! Is it because I ran away from him that night? Is that why he got mad?” I gasped, getting suspicious.I saw no other thing that would have made Allen mad, except for that. He had forgotten about it, but I reminded him. He wanted me that night, but I left him hanging.“What have I done?” I grabbed my hair, swaying my head. “It’s all my fault. I need to fix this at once. I need to see Allen and apologize to him,” I decided.Quickly, I left the room and went back to the study room to see if I’d get
