Chapter Twenty-five

Reece

"What the fuck is wrong with you bro. Why would you even go to a club, when you know you had Evelyn. Do you know the poor girl had waited up on you all night". Ryker kept screaming and shouting into my ears, as I resisted the urge to punch his stupid mouth. I'm sure that was going to leave a mark or perhaps a wound.

I was Alpha, not Ryker and he had no right to yell and shout at me like I was his toy. I knew what I didn't was unacceptable but I couldn't help it. After I had sent away the whore from the vip room, I decided to go back to the club where I drank the fuck out of me.

I knew if I came home that moment, nothing going to stop me from fucking Evelyn and I didn't even know if she was ready or if that was the right thing to do, so I had to wait back in the room still I was much sober. I thought coming back late was going to be the best solution, that way I could avoid the date and seeing Evelyn yet she just had to wait up on me.

"Reece". Ryker called, pulling me out of thoughts.

"What? Just get the fuck out of my room before I lose it".

"I'm not intimidated by you bro. If you know what's best for you, freshen up and go over to her room to apologise, what you did today was unacceptable, and if you do not apologize to her, I'm afraid you might ruined any chances of love you had with Evelyn, and you wouldn't want to live a life full of regrets".

He stated, as I chuckled.

"In case you didn't realize, I'm not falling down a cliff for any female, neither I'm I giving my heart over to Evelyn, Darren daughter. She's the daughter of an enemy, and after we had sought out the Shapeshifter demon, I am going to reject her and go in search of the female my heart longs for. Evelyn means nothing to me, she is only but a means to an end; defeating the Shapeshifter demon".

I growled, but at this point I wasn't so sure about that anymore. The connection I had felt with Sophie the first day we met was undeniable, and if it were the era of fated mates I would have been certain Sophie was my fated mate, whereas fated mates had long seized to exist and this was the era of only chosen mates, but still I wasn't sure if going in search of Sophie to mark her as my chosen mate was still worth it. In her absence, Evelyn made up for the sparks and instant connections she made me feel, that sometimes I wondered what it will feel like to risk it all,and place my heart in the hands of Evelyn, Darren daughter, giving her the power to either break it or protect it.

Ryker, let out a chuckle, reminding me he was still in my room as I flicked my gaze over to him.

"You know what your problem is Reece?". He prod, as I set him a straight glare.

"What?".

"Your hate towards Evelyn father. You've let it blinded you so much that you can't seem to see past the image of her you've created in your head. You only see her as Evelyn; Darren daughter, an enemy, whereas she is a person not her father and I doubt Evelyn is anything like her father. If you want to keep her and not end up making decisions you would regret in the future, then you need to see her as Evelyn, just Evelyn, and not Evelyn, Darren daughter".

He snarled, as I inhaled a sharp breathe, how could I ever see past the fact that she was Darren daughter, when I knew Darren had an ulterior motive, otherwise why hand over his only daughter to me in exchange to defeat a demon that was all for the common goal of everyone.

"I will be on my way now. But remember if you want to progress in your relationship with her, you didn't to learn that she is not her father, she had already proven that when she helped saved your ass, by paying the ten million debts". Reece snarled, and with that he turned on his heels as he left, leaving me pondering on his words and my thoughts.

After my shower and dressing up, I decide to hid to Ryker advice and apologize to Evelyn, I still didn't trust her, but I loved the new friendliness in our relationship, it was better that constantly being nagged at by her, so I ambled directly to the Luna room, which was just beside my door, as I pulled the door knob open; the door refusing to open.

Evelyn never locked her door, maybe she knew I would come knocking and didn't want to see me. Things were better if I didn't force them, so I decide to make a turn and visit my mother instead.

For the past twelve years since my mom illness, visiting her atleast once in everyday had become a daily norm for me, and that was why I was in her room today, to spend some time with her just like every other day. I was the only person who visited her since her critical illness, and most people believed my mother was dead, even most of the new workers, they weren't aware she was still in the palace, I doubt any one was.

"Mama". I called out, pushing a lose strand of hair away from her pale face, sometimes I wondered if she was ever going to be okay, all of things were going to remain like this forever, is already twelve years since she became this way and I'm yet to see any signs of improvement.

Inhaling a breath, I wipe the lone tear rolling down my face. "Tommorow is Evelyn Luna Ceremony, my heart craves her, but my head tells me is the stupid thing to do. Ryker suggested I see her as more than Darren daughter and as a person. I really do not know what to do mom, I feel so fucked up, and also the ten million dollars that was stolen by the hacker, which was meant for paying the workers salary, Evelyn had cleared it all, I really can not thank her enough mother. I wished you could see her, she's so beautiful and not only is she nothing like her father in character, she doesn't even look like him. I wish you were going to be there tommorow to attend her Luna Ceremony, you know how big of an event it is in every Luna life. And lest I forget, Darren and I are equally going to defeat the Shapeshifter demon tommorow, we had come up with a simple plan and could only hope for the best".

I let out, hoping she could here me, and give me comfort. And somehow when I leaned into her, placing my head over her chest, I felt calmed and relaxed knowing I still had my mother by my side and she would always be my comfort.
