Eva's POV
I lifted my other hand and removed his hold from my elbow. In that moment I hated Liam. And not in a casually saying, uttering nonsense kind of way.
I really, really hated him for what he had done to me.
The sight of him standing in front of me with guilt ridden face did nothing but increase my anger and pain and that started to make me hate him even more.
Where the fuck had I gone wrong?
I guess ignoring his every mistake in hopes of a happy future, my selfish need for attention and desperation of getting both Liam and Rush in my life as my lifelong destiny had come back to bite me in the ass.
I should not have been greedy.
I should never have forgiven him.
I should never have given him another chance.
I made sure to squeeze Liam's hand with all my strength. My nails pierced his skin but he did not make a sound.
I did not know why I did that. To make him feel the pain I was feeling, probably
Liam's POVEverything had turned into a fucking mess. I had tried to manage everything. I had tried to keep Eva happy while making sure of keeping my desires hidden from her.My desires for the alpha position and Aster, both.I wanted to leave everything behind and go to her. I wanted to live with her without any obstacles in our life.But the thing that was coming in the way of that was my deepest desire of becoming an alpha.No matter how hard I had tried to bury it, it had surfaced back with twice as much force.It was not that I had not tried to break my engagement with Aster and leave the benefit behind that came from marrying her.I had tried a thousand times and I had failed every fucking time. My heart was torn into so many shreds that I had became confused and frustrated with the way that I was being forced to choose.
Liam had been watching us. I could feel his eyes on us, but I was not ready to face him.I heard the cheering sound of people while Rush kept me hidden inside his chest.And I was glad for it. I was glad for his support. Even though he himself was in pain, he was helping me get through everything that was happening around me.People kept screaming and cheering and laughing and praying for the couple while tears dripped down my cheek silently. They prayed and wished for the well being and happiness of the couple while I struggled to breathe.Rush's one hand covered my ear. His own heart was thudding so loudly in his chest that I could hear the sound of it through his chest throughout the cheering of people.Liam was breaking our heart in front of our own eyes."Are they married?" I whispered."Yes, baby." Rush replied in my ear softly."I want to get out of here." I replied. My voice hitching and breaking the sentence into hundreds of p
Her body instantly stiffened. She was not ready for it. She was not ready to face Liam and Aster together yet."You are joking, right?" She asked. Hoping and praying that it was, indeed, a joke or a horrifying dream.Rush looked away. But then his eyes came back to Eva. He grabbed the back of her neck and pulled her face closer to his.His eyes had closed shut, like he was in deep pain and the next words that were going to come out of his mouth were nearly excruciating even to him."It is the rule, Eva." He whispered, "we are mated to each other now. And mates live together. I can not live without you anymore as it hurts me every time I walk out of door of your home. It is getting harder for me to leav
One Week LaterEva walked out of the main door. Rush was leaning against his car while talking to somebody.He had promised to take her out on a date today. It was nearly six o'clock in the evening.The past week had gone in a jiffy. With the unpacking of her things and most of the time, getting thoroughly fucked by the werewolf whose appetite for sex seemed to be unending, the days had been spent so fast that she had not even realized when the week ended.Thankfully, she had not have to bear crossing a specific werewolf who should not be named in her presence.She was not afraid of facing him. She just did not want things for her to get awkward so soon. She still needed time to adjust.As soon as Rush saw her walking out in a tight, ankle length jeans and a cold shoulder, red top, he bid goodbye to the person and jogged towards her."You look ravishing." He said as soon as he was near her and bent down to kiss her."Y
Eva's POVI giggled as I looked at Rush trying to climb a carriage but failing so miserably at the task. I could not believe he was scared of horses."Please come down." he begged sweetly."But I want to ride this." I whined, "You just need to climb a step. Come on."Rush tried to climb up again but the horse suddenly turned its head a bit sideways which made Rush jump back so hard that I was left gasping for breath while laughing.I sighed in exasperation and came down from the carriage. The fun was obviously over.Rush immediately came back to me while saying, "Hey, you do not have to ruin it because of me." he bent down his head and kissed my temple softly, "Sit inside. I will be right behind you."I shook my head in denial and took his hand in my grasp while smiling, "Don't worry about it. It is no fun without you."His face fell in disappointment, "I am so sorry for this. I just can not seem to get over my stupid
"Hey.." I asked worriedly while I followed him, "where are we going?"He did not respond. As soon as we were out, he opened the passenger seat and made me sit. And then he rounded the car to take the driver seat.He started the car and in the next second we were driving down the street at the speed of over eighty. It was almost midnight and my worry was increasing with every passing minute. Rush's anger was scaring me.After barely five minutes we came to a stop. He climbed out of the seat aggressively. His anger was scaring me.He rounded the car to come to me but I was already fidgeting with the seat belt to take it off.He opened my side
The broken shards of glass were still digging inside my skin. My feet were hurting badly, but I could not stop running. I ran outside the hall and towards the car standing outside.As I stopped, heaving heavily while my hands trembled on the hood of the car, I realized I did not have the keys. Tears were slipping down my cheeks freely.I could not stand there. I wanted to go home. I wanted to sleep this bad dream away.I turned around on my heels and stumbled forward on trembling legs.A few steps ahead and I was falling down on my knees."What are you doing?" A sensual, low voice that I had come to recognize easily fell into my ears.Clenching my eyes tight shut, I refused to open them and look at the person standing in front of me. I hated her."Are you hurt?" Her words did not contain worry, but there was no humour or laugh either. Just clear seriousness."What do you care?" I mumbled through clenched teeth as my fuming gaze snapped
"I am sorry." Rush murmured gently. His hands came up to touch my face. Worry and fury was covering every inch of his beautiful face."I should not have forced you to come here. I should not have forced you to come between all this. I should not... I should not have shifted and fought in front of you. You were so frightened, God!"I could not deny any word that he was saying, because honestly all of them were true. I had never seeing a more terrifying sight than that in my entire life. I knew none of them would ever hurt me. But I also knew that I was not safe around them."It is alright, Rush." I assured him with a hint of smile.He hesitantly smiled back at me. "Want to go back home, baby?"I nodded my head and tried to slip out. But before I could put my neatly bandaged feet down on the ground, Rush was scooping me up in his arms."I can walk." I assured and tried to get off his arms but he did not let me."Yeah. And I can fly
-- Two Years Later --"Eva," Rush whispered in my ear seductively as we both stared at two kids that were playing lego with Liam on the ground, "we still have a chance, let's go from here. I will give you everything he could not give you."My eyes slid sideways to look at him. The words he said were very, very tempting. "It is going to be a betrayal," I whispered, "he will be angry.""I will handle him." Rush winked, "all you need to do is turn around and meet in the bedroom.""I CAN HEAR EVERYTHING!" Liam growled in a low, threatening voice as he put down the last lego on top of a building and smiled happily at the adorable six months old boy and girl, "don't give me a reason to kick your ass, Rush. Eva is going to be exhaus
I woke up feeling a headache making its way to my conscious and feeling body ache. The sides of my stomach hurt bad as I opened my eyes and found myself staring at the white walls and smelling weird, sanitizing smell.Turning my head, a bit confused and disoriented, I looked around me. There was no one there. My hand had an IV drip attached and the door to the room was closed shut. The windows were closed but the room was well lit by lights. It was impossible to tell what time it was.Groaning in pain, I tried to sit up and straighten my body. I had barely managed to sit when the room opened and Liam walked inside. Seeing me trying to sit up alone, he instantly rushed to my side and quickly put two soft pillows on my back, helping me sit comfortably.The relief it brought was instantly
I woke up when I felt extreme suffocation strangling me. It was suddenly hard to breathe. And there was nothing but darkness. I could not even comprehend if it was a dream or if it was happening in reality. All I knew was that I was struggling to breathe desperately."Eva..." the sound came from what it seemed like very far away."Wake up. What is wrong with her?" the sound came again."Eva?!"My eyes snapped open and I finally started taking in deep breaths, filling my lungs with the much needed oxygen. It was hard and painful, but it was so much needed."Oh god," I whispered and sat up in an attempt to push back the fear of death that had consumed me."Are you okay?" Rush asked, rubbing my back gently. His voice filled with worry while Liam urgently picked up his phone to call someone."Don't call a doctor." I said as my breathing slowed down a bit, "I am okay now. Don't call anyone."Liam rushed towards me and sat on t
I looked at his pleading gaze, unable to give an answer to him. I could see the sincerity in his eyes and his begging attempts to shorten the distance that I had created after getting his betrayal.I looked away for a second before gathering the courage and my eyes came back to him, "I... I understand that you have been trying to come close to me, Liam. Really... I see that you try to do everything to come close to me at every chance but..." I gulped down and sighed as sadness covered my words, "I am also trying. It was never easy for me to see you in front of my eyes every day and walk away but every time I look at you, I don't feel anything else but fear."Liam's eyes moved away from me, his feet shifting from one to another a bit as I felt him getting uncomfortable at my statement. His face had darkened and I could see him trying to control his wolf and keep it calm. But thankfully he did not stop me from talking."Liam, look at me," I whispered a
The party was in full swing as they walked ahead to the main area. Immediately they found Hailey coming towards them with a happy smile on her face. Her hand was wrapped around Liam's while her six inched heels clad feet and ivory gown clad body shimmied towards them excitedly.Her eyes met Eva's and halted for a moment before going back to Rush as she squealed, "You came exactly on the right time! Thank you!!"Rush grinned and hugged her, wishing her a happy birthday. Once he pulled back, Eva did the same and wished her.Eva's eyes met Liam's for a second and found him looking down at her with a small smile. As soon as her gaze met his, he cleared his throat in embarrassment and looked away.For some reason it immediately made her laugh that she had to cover with a loud cough as well, bringing the eyes of everyone standing around to herself.Hailey excitedly chatted with Rush and Liam before a couple of friends of hers came to come with them.
By the time Eva had finished her bath and came out of the bathroom, Rush had gotten dressed after freshening up and walked out of the room to get his breakfast, calling out Eva's name as he went out of the room.Putting her hair up in a messy bun, Eva got changed in a girly pajamas that had snowman printed on them and walked out of there to find Rush.As her feet walked towards the kitchen, her steps slowed down to almost a snail speed when she saw Hailey sitting at the dining table, literally on the top of the table right in front of Rush as Rush sipped the coffee in his mug while scrolling through his tablet and talking to her at the same time.Eva shook her head a little, getting annoyed at herself by every passing second for being so paranoid and jealous of every little thing relat
With Hailey staying right beside them, the dinner ended pretty fast. It was not something that Rush and Eva had imagined, because their romantic dinner date had gotten ruined and turned into a family dinner, but it was actually better than nothing.All of them got out of the club, with Hailey chatting away constantly about her college life and vacations and stuff, Eva was feeling left out. Rush and Liam were focused on her, everything she was saying. Although when they were getting out of the private room Liam had tried to put his hand on her waist, flinching, she had moved instantly, going by Rush's side. Sh
Eva's first thought was to storm over there and punch the shit out of that shitty man. But then her step halted the very next second. She had no right to do anything that had to do with Liam. She had already decided that there was not going to be a chance when she trusts him again. But then she had started to fall for his words earlier when he had repeated constantly that he was under the influence of magic and was sorry for all that had happened.She was about to turn away but before her eyes could move away from him, his gaz
