PRIMAL Chapter 40
I was shocked.I knew what Tyler had been sent by the Europeans to do, I just never thought he would actually do it. Jace had followed me out of the ballroom-I assumed because he felt guilty about prying to Adam and I's relationship-and he growled when he laid eyes on Tyler and the Alpha Superior.Immediately, I saw Tyler's face turn pale at the sight of Jace.The German Alpha Superior looked over to Jace and I."Is there a problem?" He asked."You tell me," Jace said."Um-no! No problem here, Beta Superior Eaton," Tyler stuttered it out.Damn, he really was scared of Jace.I couldn't read the Alpha Superior's face. Did he know? Did he not know?"Tyler could you leave us for a moment?" I asked.Tyler swallowed hard and walked the long way around Jace to go back into the ballroom."You as well, Jace."His eyes narrowed at me as I said this.Throwing a suspicious glance at both myself and the German Alpha, he turned around slowly and left us standing in the hallway.My heart was beating

I awoke the next morning to an empty bed.It was late.I had no doubt that Adam had left hours earlier for his first meetings of the day. I rolled over and the sheet slipped off my bare shoulders. I shivered at the cold breeze.I sat up, holding the covers to my chest, and looked at the clock. A note sat there, leaning against it. I reached out from the sheer curtain and grabbed it.'Meet me for lunch.'I read the clock and my eyes widened. I only had ten minutes to get ready. I shot out of the bed, tripping over the tangled sheets.I went into the bathroom and began to brush my teeth. I gasped in horror seeing the love bites all over my stomach. I quickly checked my neck and sighed, thankful Adam hadn't left anymore in any noticeable places.My mind immediately flashed back to the night before.My promise was still intact, but it came close to breaking that night.After a few minutes of heated kisses and wandering hands and mouths, we both decided to stop. It wasn't an easy decision

Adam was still in bed with me when I woke up the next morning. I could hear his heavy breathing as I pulled his arms from around my waist.This was easier said than done.The man had a grip that would rival a toddler on their father's leg.I looked at the clock and noticed it was still early in the morning Adam's meetings wouldn't begin for a few more hours.Looking at him, I could tell he had gotten little sleep last night. He had dark circles around his eyes. In fact, he was in such an exhaustive state of sleep, he was nearly snoring.I felt a pang of guilt in my chest.I couldn't imagine the stress this probably put him under. He had so much to deal with already with the Centennial and Europe on the line. The added stress of the tulip's arrival was just the cherry on top.I got out of the bed quietly and changed into comfortable clothes before brushing my teeth.After doing so, I called and asked for breakfast to be sent up to the room. I had no sooner pulled the cart of food into

I knew the German boy had lied.The only post office in town was run by a widower and his three sons. There were no women working in that office.But, now I knew who had intended to send that letter. Barret's pathetic excuse was one that was made up on the spot to cover the tracks of the one who had really sent it: his father.I couldn't help my smile as Jace left the room.Europe would be mine by the end of the week, I was sure of this. Schneider had screwed up and I planned on taking full advantage of it. It was just a matter of time before I was given the go-ahead and Schneider wouldn't know what hit him.I left the conference room and walked to my office. I would have much rather had eaten lunch with my Evelyn, but I had more planning to do that wouldn't be able to wait.A few minutes went by before I heard Jace's footfalls in the hallway.I looked up to see him enter into the office."You found out who the letter was going to be sent to," I guessed.He shook his head and I narrow

Adam's P.O.V.She was right.I didn't make her stay in that foul-smelling hospital room that night. It was partly for her sake, but mostly for mine. I hadn't had a restful night's sleep in a while, and I knew I wouldn't sleep if she was several floors down alone by herself in a hospital cot.I did take precautionary measures, however.A glass of water was beside her on the bedside table if she needed it and I woke up nearly every hour to make sure her fever wasn't coming back.About the fourth time I did so, I began to get frustrated with myself. I had never been so concerned with anyone other than myself before.Evelyn had a way of keeping me on my toes. I found myself doing things just to please or impress her. She was slowly becoming someone I looked to for affirmation, which frightened me more than I cared to express as someone who had always been self-sufficient.I couldn't wait for the day that she fully stepped into her role as my Luna. I already knew she would be phenomenal at

Evelyn's P.O.V.It was the last night of the Centennial.Adam was right when he told me I would be sore from shifting. I laid in bed for the rest of the day, barely able to move.But I was determined to be at the gala that night. I had missed the night before last because of Heat and I had missed the previous night because Dr. Zusak didn't discharge me from the hospital ward until later in the evening.However, I wasn't going to miss that night for the world. I had saved the most beautiful gown for last and I smiled when I pulled it out of the dust cover that evening as I began to get ready.It was a crimson red ballgown with an off-the-shoulder neckline and a corseted waist adorned with beaded lace appliqués.I put on red lipstick to match and pulled my hair back in a low, loose bun before I stood in front of the mirror. I admit that I twirled around a few times.I felt like a princess.Judging by the look on Adam's face as he walked through the bedroom door, I looked like one too."

I couldn't believe it. It had been three days since Adam made the announcement that he was officially the Alpha Superior of Europe, making me the Luna Superior of Europe.The Centennial had ended.Everyone had gone home-including the Germans, who left sulking. Diedrick had stayed behind, which I wasn't surprised by seeing as he had just been practically disowned by his father for his assistance in Adam's ploy for control.Nearly half a week had passed and I was still baffled by the scheme. I didn't understand how Adam had successfully taken over Europe without so much as lifting a finger."It's all in the tactic, darling," he said as he packed his suitcase."But I don't understand," I said."How on earth did you get him to just give you an entire continent?""I didn't." he said. "Diedrick did.""But how?"Adam stopped packing and looked up from his suitcase at me."I offered Diedrick a position as Beta under the condition that he could get his father to sign the papers and he accepted

I felt like I was going to pass out.My hands were shaking as I put them up to cover my mouth in shock."Evelyn Schubert, mate of mine and love of my life, I know it hasn't been one hundred days yet, but I'm an impatient man."I laughed as I felt tears welling up in my eyes."Would you do me the honor of marrying me and becoming my wife and Luna?""Yes!"I had said it before Adam could even finish asking.I ran over to him and wrapped my arms around his neck as he sighed in relief and hugged me back. Adam kissed my lips with such passion that my mind went blank and he was the only thing I could focus on.He pulled away slowly, leaving his forehead to rest against mine as I caught my breath."We're forgetting something," he said smiling.I looked down at his hands where he was still holding the velvet ring box.Cushioned inside was a diamond ring that put them all to shame. It was a huge, pear cut diamond that was at least three carats. A halo of smaller diamonds surrounded it and cove

PRIMAL Epilogue
Exactly two years and five days after the death of my father, Cain Alexander Deveraux was born.He had my brown hair and Adam's brilliant blue eyes. That, however, was where the similarities ended.Cain was born a Vampire, yet he was also still a Lycanthrope; a hybrid, as Dr. Zosak had called him.He was the first of his kind.Although he was certainly one of a kind, Adam and I raised him normally. We didn't know how else to. As he grew, he began to turn into one of the most temperamental people I had ever met.Cain was smart, cunning even. He was strong and healthy. But, when watching him closely, I could see the fire within him.It scared me.One day, I heard he and Adam talking to each other as I walked past Adam's office. Adam was attempting to explain to the four-year-old the duties that he had as Alpha. Cain couldn't seem to understand why his father worked with other Alphas instead of working by himself."Well." Adam explained, "we all work as a team. I can't rule the whole wor

Unknown P.O.V."This wasn't part of the deal," he snarled.The woman's eyebrow rose as she looked on at the two men arguing."My demands have changed," the second man said, crossing his arms."If I get what I want, I will give you access to the castle. If you can't make that work, you can find someone else."The first man growled."Do you realize what this means we have to do? What we'll have to risk to get you what you want?""Of course I do."The woman stood to her feet as she saw patience running thin between the two men."We'll do it. But we want inside that castle sooner than next month, or no deal," she bargained.A smirk rose on the face of the second man."Done."Evelyn's P.O.V."I don't want to look at them."I sat on the bed, pulling my knees in tight against my chest. Liu took the vase of flowers and put them in the bathroom, closing the door as she left them on top of the vanity.I could see outside the open bedroom door as five burly men picked up the lifeless body of the

Diedrick smiled."I'm glad you're happy to see me."I'm not."I thought you would be gone for a few days," I said gulping.He waved his hand dismissively as he strolled closer to where I stood."My father and brother have been laid at rest, so I came back. There was no time to waste mourning."I took a shallow breath."I'm sure Adam would have wanted you to tell him," I said."He and Jace have just left for Utah."Diedrick nodded."Yes, so l heard."His eyes narrowed in on my hands."You're bleeding," he commented, walking over to where I stood.I looked down to see that I had indeed been stuck by the pin in my hand, probably in fright after Diedrick scared me. I huffed and held my hand away from my body to ensure I didn't get any blood on the white dress.Diedrick carefully took my hand in his and led me off of the platform. He instructed me to sit down on the high-back chair and I did so, warily.He kneeled in front of me and took a handkerchief out of his pocket. Diedrick began to

When we arrived back at the castle, we were immediately met at the door by Jace."You'll want to see this," he said, gesturing for Adam to follow him.Adam gave me an unsure look before he and I began to follow Jace inside the castle. He led us down into the hospital ward and I felt my heart drop.Did something happen to Mr. Chandler while we were gone?My question was answered as I walked into his room and saw him lying on the cot, asleep."What happened?" I asked Jace, not seeing anything visibly wrong with him.Jace walked around me and threw back the covers off of Mr. Chandler, who remained in a deep sleep."The nurse noticed it yesterday as she was helping Mrs. Chandler wash him," he said, pulling up the hospital gown to expose Mr. Chandler's thigh.I gasped when I saw the gash that was oozing with infection."What happened?" I asked him.Jace's eyes narrowed on me before Adam spoke up."He was bitten.""Bitten?"I saw Jace and Adam exchange a wary look between them."We can't ta

Adam's P.O.V.I was angrier at myself in that moment than I had ever been in my life. I couldn't believe I had let her watch me do that, no matter how much the bastard deserved it.I didn't regret it, and I knew she could see that.I would have done it all over again twenty times if it had meant protecting her.But, I saw the way she looked at me as I held her.I was something that would make her afraid of the dark, the last thing I wanted was for her to realize that.I had gotten carried away the night before. I had let my wolf take control instead of killing him quickly and the added theatrics were only going to hurt me now.Wanting desperately to explain myself and to make sure that I had not scarred her for life, I got up the nerve to ask.However, before I could mutter a syllable, I heard someone open the bedroom door. I turned quickly, pushing Evelyn behind me, both out of a protective instinct and because she was naked under a loosely tied bathrobe.Seeing Diedrick, I felt my b

Waking up with a dagger pointed at your throat is just as terrifying as one would think. When I felt the cold metal pressed against my neck, my eyes immediately opened to see the glint of the dagger in the moonlight.I froze, unsure of what to do.My eyes adjusted quickly and I was able to make out the person whose hand was holding the weapon.Barret Schneider.My eyes widened as he slowly put one a finger over his lips as a gesture for me not to speak. I felt my heart began to beat quickly and I tried my hardest tocontrol my rapid breathing.At some point in the night, Adam and I had ended up changing positions; Adam was now behind me, one arm around my waist, the other under my pillow.I gulped as Barret reached out and pulled back the covers slowly, gesturing for me to get up. With the dagger still lingering dangerously near my throat, I had no choice but to slowly remove Adam's arm from around my waist.His strong grip made this near impossible, but I managed to slide out from un

Unknown P.O.V."I tried!"The man grabbed a vase that perched near him on the mantel and threw it at Ludwig Schneider, whom it narrowly missed as he ducked at the last moment."You didn't try hard enough!"The man's eyes were filled with rage. It took everything inside of him not to kill the former Alpha Superior."I'm sorry!" Ludwig Schneider said."The letter was not supposed to be intercepted. I'm not sure how they found it."This was a lie.He knew giving it to the maid to deliver was a mistake.Originally, he had meant for Barret to leave the castle and deliver the forged invitation himself, however Alpha Superior Deveraux had restricted all access to and from the castle during the week they were there. Barret would never have been able to leave, so he had to improvise."That was my chance," the man growled."Because of you and your incompetence, it is gone."Ludwig Schneider gulped, suddenly fearing for his life."But you have other contacts inside the castle. Can't you still fi
