L CHAPTER 13.Alpha Trent's POV. I was unable to concentrate on my duties for the past days or distract myself with sorting out some files I had in my custody. Investigation would be carried out over the assault that was done to Eva. I remember when she called the servant and luckily the maid was diligent to attend to her plight. It was fortunate that we found her on time,l because she had lost pints of blood. I suspected my sister to be the culprit but she denied it firmly. I had no choice but to stop blaming her. My father should be the next suspect but I knew that he could not have stooped so low to do something so outrageous. I had missed her smile a lot, watching her in that comatose state really upset me but there was nothing I could do than to wait till she woke up. The moment I saw her, my wolf had an attraction for her;Like a mate bond. I was vexed that she was hurt like that and it made me almost lose control over my wolf ;I had never lost control over him but I almost
CHAPTER 14.Alpha Trent's POV. He had a surprised look on his face as those words escaped my mouth. “You think?” "I am not sure because she has not shown any reaction to the mate bond ;She identifies me as a stranger and the Alpha who saved her not as her mate" I clarified and palmed my face. "What if she's mated and it is just…with all due respect, I think maybe it is just lust" He assumed. I shook my head in disapproval. “It is not about lewd feelings. I am having the emotions and sensations that I had never experienced before;It's so new to me "I argued to prove my points. " From the moment I saw her in that injured state,what I felt was not pity but possessiveness.” I said with the same raw determination I had at that time. "She can't be your mate," Romeo argued. I wondered why he was so bent on disagreeing with me; well, I had a lot of respect for him since he had been our pack doctor for centuries even during the leadership of my late grandfather. I had always agreed wi
CHAPTER 16.Alpha Trent's POV. I shouldn't have listened to Kyle at all. He was a good casanova and he would be perfect in all these things but I haven't had a female friend except… I really didn't want to remember her but I couldn't help it, but she was nothing like Eva. Eva was more beautiful and had a more funny and childish personality while she was pretty and extremely classy. "If I may ask Eva, how old are you?" I inquired. The investigator I hired never specified her age because it wasn't recorded. As a matter of fact, nothing about her was recorded. He told me that every information he had gotten was from an inner source in the pack but apart from that, there was nothing else recorded about her. It was like she never existed or her information was made to disappear for a strange reason but why?. "I am eighteen" She replied with a little smile on her face."You are still a young werewolf," I commented to her. "I am not young anymore, I can do a lot of things on my own. I
CHAPTER 15Alpha Trent's POV. I want her to be mine. I desired her more than ever, her reaction had just shown me that she doesn't see me as only her Alpha but something other than that. My thumb slowly caressed her bottom lip from side to side and it found its way into her mouth, she closed her lips on it. She slowly opened my eyes and I instantly retracted my thumb from her mouth. It was like she had snapped out of a trance-like state. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that!" I said, unapologetically. Sorry was far from what I wanted to say. I wanted to tell her that I liked the color of her lips and how soft they felt under my thumb and if she could suck the nerves out of my fingers. Those were dirty thoughts that had never crossed my mind even at a younger age when young female werewolves were flocking around me, hoping to be my mate or just to be one one of my concubines in bed. At that time, I was only focused on satisfying my father and meeting his expectation of being an
CHAPTER 17.Alpha Trent's POV. The very instant I saw my father, I knew that there would be trouble. Father stepped forward to her and in fear, Eva rolled her wheelchair behind me. "What is she still doing here?, I thought that I had warned Kyle to get rid of this peasant!" Father thundered and I sighed in exasperation. I narrowly escaped the disaster of either poisoning Eva or setting the house on fire with my terrible cooking and now I had entered another set of troubles. "Father, no one is getting rid of anyone"I said with my head stretched forth to prevent him from coming any closer. " What did you mean by that?;not because you are the Alpha now means that you have the right to lose respect for me. I am still your father and I was once the Alpha!" Father yelled with authority. It wasn't my intention to defy him but I wasn't going to permit anyone to hurt Eva, not even my father. She had been through a lot and she deserved some peace. "Father, I mean not disrespect you but
CHAPTER 18.Alpha Trent's POV. Mortal enemy?The last time I remembered, once in a blue moon Father always talked about Alpha Zeigler and regarded him as one of the most powerful Alphas and even used him as a study case for me at times. How did he become his mortal enemy all of a sudden. I narrowed my gaze and furrowed my eyebrows. "Father, what did you mean by mortal enemy?" I questioned with a bemused and tired look on my face. "Alpha Zeigler was always proud and arrogant because of his numerous powers but at the end of the day, he still perished" Father replied and I gasped. What was wrong with this man before my eyes?. He wasn't acting like the father I used to know and love. "How could he have become your mortal enemy overnight when you used him as a reference point for superiority and good leadership?Alpha Zeigler used to be your friend, isn't that what you told me?" I inquired in confusion. I thought bringing Alpha Zeigler into the situation would help things but I was
CHAPTER 19.Alpha Trent's POV. I shouldn't let my father's words get to me,he has always had ways of influencing but not in this situation. I wasn't going to allow myself to be swayed by mere words of the past, Zeigler wasn't Eva and even if they were related;Eva was completely different from others. There was something special about her and I doubted that it was simply her beauty. I just feel that there is something unique but I couldn't place my hand on it. I caressed her cheeks with my hands and she smiled more beautifully. "So, what did your father say?" She inquired, masking her worry and anxiety. "He didn't say anything important, he just complained about the insults you gave him but said nothing other than that" I partially told the truth. There was no reason for me to escalate the matter and tell her how bad her father was, which might not even be true. "Why do I feel like you aren't telling the truth?" Eva muttered sensing that I was lying. "I am telling the truth,"
CHAPTER 20Alpha Trent's POV. "Thank you, Beta Kyle" Eva appreciated and patted her chest gently. "It's my pleasure" Kyle smiled but refused to remove his hand from her back. With the pressure I was exacting on the fork, I felt it bending. I looked away before losing all my senses and pouncing on Kyle. My eyes landed on Serena and she had a deadly look on her face as she stared at Eva. I know that she disliked Eva because she was more beautiful than her. I knew my sister like the back of my hand, she had always been envious of those who were prettier than her or was it something else. I looked over to Kyle and he was smirking at Serena. I have warned him to stay away from Serena. He was after Serena and now it's Eva. I gritted my teeth and dropped the cutlery I had damaged and I picked up another one. "It is good to have family dinner like this, I really missed having dinner here especially since I stopped supervising how you all eat" Mother said with a concerned look. "We h
CHAPTER 152 Eva's POV. Epilogue. Years had passed and I had lost track of time, though not out of pain and sorrow but happiness and joy. I recalled when I was tortured and cried myself to sleep every night because I wasn't loved and didn't have my family with me. I thought back to when I found out that Liam was my mate and he rejected me. Medical check-up?"I said, "What medical check-up?!" The spoon in my hand fell to the floor clattering in the dining room as I looked at the vampire king feeling the weight of his dog's eyes on my back. That guy was really a one-of-a-kind pain, I had been staying in the vampire territory for while nw except I was no longer in a stinky cell that wasn't even fit for dogs. I had every luxury befitting a queen handed at my doorstep the moment I just hinted at it. But of course, I wasn't going to be swayed by such vanity, I knew that one day the vampire King would go bored of me evading his advances. So fortunately and unfortunately for me,
CHAPTER 151.Author's POV "Where are the rest of them?" Alpha Trent came closer and asked in excitement. "We had arrived a while ago and they stayed back in an inn. I came alone to discuss the plans with you…your parents sent their greetings. Your mom insisted on coming but Alpha Justin dissuaded her and I presume that it was for the best" He replied with a beam on his face."Thank you for coming" Alpha Trent smiled and went to hug him. They hugged tightly and Gael was allowed inside. "Luna" Gael greeted with a bow. "Beta" "Gael, I'm glad that you are here. How have you been" Eva asked with a kind smile plastered on her lips. "I'm fine, Luna" Beta Kyle got up and shook hands with him, and the three of them left for the dining room. Mr Carlos closed the door and walked towards the others. He folded his arms and a feigned expression of displeasure appeared on his face. "It seems like my house is getting packed with more people and it's high time that you all start paying for the
CHAPTER 150.Author's POV "I will not just tell you but take you there" Beta Kyle smiled warmly at her and retracted his hand from her tummy, he took his hands to her face and gently wiped her tears away."Kyle, I have nothing against your Alpha or his mate. I don't want her immortality or want to harm her for any reason…My father just gives orders and threats that can't be ignored" Rosalie mumbled in tears, she was certainly exhausted from her father. She had lived most of her life to please him, she even desired any man in her life to be like her father. She saw him as a role model and mentor but now she realized that he was the worst person ever. "I understand," Beta Kyle nodded with a smile on his lips."I'm not taking you there to double cross my friends but for you to acquire protection from your father. You are having my child and I have to be with you every step of the way" He beamed and pecked her forehead affectionately. Rosalie was astonished by his idea, she never thou
CHAPTER 149.Author's POV. "Father, this is your grandchild and you shouldn't be threatening me with the life of my baby," Rosalie said, this was the first time that she was showing emotions in front of her father. Instead of reasoning with her, Aldon was irritated by her. She was no longer the woman whom he raised to be heartless, this woman sitting in front of him wasn't her. He withdrew his hand from her stomach and slapped her hard on the face. She shrieked and fell back on the bed. He pulled her up by her arm and menaced; "I don't care about this thing in your stomach, just use it and get me her location including access to the place" Rosalie's breath shuddered. "If you can't do those two things then you can say goodbye to that worthless thing in your womb," Aldon said, heartlessly.Rosalie wasn't surprised by the coldness in their eyes as he spoke to her but she thought that learning about the baby would make him considerate. She had done so much to impress him. She had l
CHAPTER 148.Author's POV. "No way, I will not allow my pregnant wife to be bait for those maniacs, both of them are dubious and insane, they won't spare your life for anything in this world and both of us are aware of that!" Alpha Trent objected with a stern look on his face. " I understand what you mean but do you realize that they aren't hurting you all because you harmed them but because they need me? They want me and seeing me would certainly make them let their guard down" Eva insisted. She was the cause of their misfortune and it was time for her to end it. She wasn't going to permit anyone to toil with her family again. She was willing to go to the extreme to ensure that. Alpha shook his head in total disapproval; "I don't care about what is running through your mind but I won't allow you to be a bait, period!" "Do you think that I was asking for your permission? This is your sister's life we are talking about and I believe it's time for me to stop those two once and for
CHAPTER 147. Author's POV. "Those bastards have done it again!" Alpha Trent shrieked and threw the squeezed paper on the floor. It was getting irritating how they were always two steps ahead of them. He blamed himself for Serena getting into that sort of mess. He should have made sure that she didn't leave the house but he was too angry and guilty to ascertain that. Alpha Trent had realized that all this while, he had been living carelessly and doing almost nothing to protect his family. He couldn't see himself as that person who used to be calculating. It was like the constant problems had rendered him weak. He was an Alpha and he should have the smartest mind to overcome the situation. He had been allowing emotions to get the better part of him and that had to end. He's the Alpha of the Black Moon pack and he had to protect his mate and family at all cost He picked up the crumpled paper from the floor, unfolded it, and checked the back to see an address. Alpha Trent clicked
CHAPTER 146. Author's POV. "I always suspected you from the first time that Serena escaped from you; you had released her yourself but I decided not to interfere or try to investigate anything," Matilda said with a wicked smile. "Then, you said that you would find her and till that time, you hadn't. I know how calculating you were and killing her wouldn't have been hard work, therefore, I decided to confirm my suspicion" Matilda said and walked closer to them. Dylan and Serena stepped back. "You've been a traitor and always be one" "Run" Dylan whispered and they both tried running but Matilda chanted some words and they couldn't move from the floor. It was shocking, their feet seemed glued to the ground. Serena began shaking in fear but Dylan still held on to her. Serena became regretful about not listening to Dylan, he had insisted that they returned to the house but she thought that they weren't after them and, therefore, wouldn't attack them first. She had underestimated
CHAPTER 145.Author's POV. Rosalie looked at her father and swallowed hard. She wasn't scared of meeting Beta Kyle and starting a relationship with him but killing him was rather extreme. She doubted if she could do such a thing. She had tried killing him before and it was like an impossible mission. There was a strange connection that she felt with him, she couldn't hurt him again or attempt to murder him. Aldon held her chin more tightly and studied her gaze and body movements, he sensed her reluctance. "Why were you so hesitant to say 'Yes' to me?" Aldon asked with a sly smile on his lips. He had never known her to have a weakness, she had always been selfish and wouldn't think of sacrificing herself for her father so why was she reluctant to end the life of a petty werewolf?"Are you being doubtful about this because he is your bloody mate? Are you sure that you are my daughter or are you simply a resemblance?" Aldon inquired, his tone was filled with dissatisfaction. He car
CHAPTER 144.Author's POV. "You mean the same 'Carlos' who left the coven!" one of the witches exclaimed with a shocked expression on her. "Yes, the same one" Matilda replied and there came silence. She was shocked by the sudden quietness and she studied their expressions, it turned from one of shock to disbelief and a hint of fear. "Why are you all so silent? He left the coven and ceased to be one of us. You can help me bring him down, he has been an obstacle to me getting my target. He is protecting them with his magic and my powers can't challenge it " Matilda muttered with distress written all over her face. She looked at her fellow witches and then the head witch but none of them said anything. She expected the head witch to speak because she was much older and had more wisdom than the rest of them. It was her help that she mostly sought after. With their power combined Carlos would be gone and buried and Eva's location would be immediately discovered. No matter how strong
