[EVANDER’s Point-of-View]I watched Kian lead Holly into the front hall.She glanced back at me, scared and anxious about what to expect in my place. I already thought that she would be worried about staying in here but just like I told her, there was no way I would leave her in Randalf’s house after I found out how they treated her like a rat.I stood beside the car and gazed at her face until she and Kian disappeared from my sight. That’s when one of my Zetas approached me and made a report about various problems they expected me to fix this week and some paperwork I needed to sign.Staying in the Ambrose territory cost me a lot of my time but it was worth it. What was important at that moment was I succeeded in convincing my mate to stay with me in the mansion, which was part of the plan.After checking all the schedules on my phone, I went straight into the office and saw how much paperwork I needed to finish. I groaned and slumped on the swivel chair, hanging my head back, feelin
[HOLLY’s Point-of-View]Was it bad that I hoped Alpha Evan would show me the room I would use himself?I understood that Beta Kian and my Mate had tons to do after they spent a night at my Dad’s place. But would he see me today after his duties? Was he going to do what he promised me? That he would train me to become a strong Luna for his Pack?I was in the hallway with the maid Beta Kian ordered to show me to my room, I noticed there was something wrong with the girl. She was just my age though, and she was pretty—only if she smiled. I didn’t know why she looked so pissed after Beta Kian left. Did Sir Kian do something to the girl? I wondered if she had a bad day before the Beta ordered her to attend to my needs.The hallways were two times larger than the hallways in Ambrose Manor. Glamorous paintings hung on the walls and at the side of every column, were tall vases decorated with white roses which made the whole place so pleasant to the eyes. Red curtains hung on every arch with t
[HOLLY’s Point-of-View]“Alpha Evan…”He leaned closer. So close that our lips almost touched. I didn’t know if I should push him away or just be an obedient mate just like my Dad expected, and never put shame in the name of the Ambroses.It was clear what the Alpha wanted from me. He wanted my body. The night when I went to his room when I was intoxicated by something that Irina put in my drink, I saw that immense lust in his eyes and I wondered why he didn’t take advantage of that moment when I wasn’t myself.I couldn’t understand what kind of a guy he was with him being hot and cold whenever we got close to each other. Sometimes, he was rude, cruel, and scary but sometimes, he was caring, protective and passionate. He was a book that was hard to read. Hard to understand but I was willing to delve into it. Dive straight into his world and know him better.I wanted to know him better.“Why nervous my little kitty? Do you still think I would hurt you?” he whispered to me with a cold l
[HOLLY’s Point-of-View]I didn’t sleep well last night.Maybe I was still adjusting to the place and the bed was too soft it made me a little restless. The memory of Alpha Evan’s lips brushing against mine played repeatedly in my head. His touch on my skin and the sultry scent of his sexy body made me close my eyes. It was music in my ears whenever he called my name in his husky voice. Goddess… what did he do to me?I decided to climb down from my bed at around five in the morning. Because I couldn’t sleep anymore, I had to prepare myself for the training that Alpha Evan promised me. He scheduled me eight, but since he didn’t like people being late, I had to be there even if it was one hour early.I inhaled deeply then sighed, “I can’t be late. This is my first day and I can’t make that guy disappointed with me.”After a shower, I went to the wardrobe and looked for any clothes I could use for the training. There was no way I would use my old clothes. Most of them were like maid dress
[HOLLY’s Point-of-View]I didn’t expect that level of cruelty from Alpha Evan.He was a gentleman. My heart knew he had a soft side that he kept hiding from everyone. He didn’t want it to be mistaken as weakness by his pack, which he showed me yesterday.Power is power. He couldn’t be soft to everyone because the pack needed a strong Alpha. A powerful one that could protect and take care of his people.That’s why I couldn’t blame him if he showed me the harsh and dangerous part of being in a fight. I pushed him to train me out of my desire to learn.But after being almost beaten to death, I started to hesitate. Can I really do it? Can I really be strong and be useful to Alpha Evander? Am I really fit to be the Luna of this pack?I threw my weary and beaten body on the bed and stared at the white ceiling. I was aching all over and my back and hips hurt. The healers made the healing process of my body fast but because I am an Omega, my regeneration ability wasn’t that good compared to o
[HOLLY’s Point-of-View]Beta Kian looked eyed me as if asking me if I was alright and I nodded at him.I could tell he was worried that something might happen again and even much worse than yesterday. Just like what I heard from what he and Alpha Evan talked about before I entered the training area, Alpha Evan would never go soft on me. On a battlefield, no one would ever show mercy on you or wait for you until you can fight back. Death would be certain and the only thing that would help me survive from all the rapid changes happening in my life was to know how to defend myself from anyone who would try to hurt me.That’s what Alpha Evan wanted. For me to be tough. To be strong and be confident like a real Luna.“Are you sure you are feeling well enough to do your training today?” Beta Kian asked, still unconvinced about me being stubborn despite his warning.“Yes. I had plenty of sleep and the food you brought to my room last night helped a lot.”I smiled at Beta Kian and he nodded,
[HOLLY’s Point-of-View]“Evan…”His name escaped from my lips when his kiss trailed down my jaw and to my neck. I squirmed at the pleasure of his lips on my skin. The tingling feeling was so hypnotizing. His scent intoxicating. My hands were on his firm chest, kneading on the fabric. His body pressed gently against mine as the hunger and his desire started to burn me alive underneath him.We forgot our purpose and why we were in that room. My heart and mind were distracted by the movement of his lips on my neck. My eyes were closed as I breathed in the air, filling my trembling lungs as I savored the amazing feeling of his big hands exploring the skin underneath my white shirt. There was something in Alpha Evan’s touch that made me want to yield to him. Not about the sparring but to the sweetness of his lips as he blessed my heated body with the delightful touch of his passionate kiss.To my surprise, Alpha Evan removed his shirt and his naked chest exposed, making me whimper. I didn’
[HOLLY’s Point-of-View]“Rise and shine, Lady Holly!”Not again…I groaned when I saw Beta Kian enter the room with a huge smile on his face. How could he be so energetic and positive after being around the whole day with someone like Alpha Evander Edgerton?“I don’t have a schedule for training today, Sir Kian,” I told him whining, “I told the Alpha last night I will spend this day to rest and that means just staying in my room the whole day.”“I don’t think you can do that,” he winked at me and I grimaced when he opened the doors and let in the sunlight, “It’s your twentieth birthday and you have to do something special today.”I was still tired but had to deal with Beta Kian’s energetic aura so I sat on my bed with a frown, “It’s too early for this…besides, I don’t celebrate my birthday.”“Maybe you don’t. Before. But you are in Blackwood Pack now, Lady Holly, and things will be different since you came into this place,” Beta Kian said with a smile, “You have to prepare for lunch l
