Chapter One.
EvelynI smirked as the man trapped under my heels groaned in pain. I took a sip of the wine glass in my hand before handing it to one of my henchmen.
"So where were we?" I asked in an icy tone, applying a little more pressure as I pressed my left heel on the neck of Mr. Richardson.
I was dressed in a tight-fitted red dress that displayed my perfect curves and it matched just fine with my red heels and lips.My silk black hair was packed into a stylish bun with a pin. An expensive one.
"Yes, the freaking MoonGem," I said and looked down at him.
He groaned and I only saw his lips move as he croaked out muffled up words.
"Sorry, are you saying something?" I asked with a wicked smile, "I can't quite get you."
He tried to talk again and the veins in his forehead were bulging. I took my heels off his neck suddenly and he gasped in relief. He moved away from me in fear, breathing out loudly, and too bad his hands were tied behind his back because he looked like he would die to rub his neck right now.
"You're wasting my time," I said and the smile on my face slowly wore off.
"Tell me where I can find the MoonGem right now!" I seethed, shooting Mr. Richardson the most threatening glare I could. We were at the Ridax Hotel owned by Richardson and quite ironically, we had tied him up in his own office.
"I……I…….I….C." Mr. Richardson slowly crawled back with fear in his eyes, but before he could finish his sentence, I interrupted him.
"Before you say you can't, remember that your wife and kids are on a trip to Wonderland and I'm sure that you want them to arrive back home safely," I said in a soft, but threatening tone.
My lips curled up into a smirk as I saw fear creep into his eyes.
"So, Mr. Richardson, tell me where the freaking MoonGem is?" I was getting angry and impatient already. I need to get my hand on that damn stone so I can prove to my father that I'm far better than that ass he calls a Beta, Tyler.
"The MoonGem-" Richardson's lips quivered and he looked scared. I don't know if he's scared of me or because of the controversies behind that damn stone. Probably both.
"It's……it's……" He stuttered and I sighed in frustration as he once again stopped talking. I took slow steps towards him and gave him a hard glare."There's a gala being held at Sphinx Enterprise, Mr. Speranzini will be exchanging it with a new client," Mr. Richardson said quickly and all in one breath, gasping and sighing.
I stopped in my tracks as I processed what he just said. Of course, the Speranzinis would have an involvement in something this big. About that bloody gala, it was starting in the next 30 minutes.
I moved towards Mr. Richardson and bent down to his eye level, causing him to flinch.
"The client," I said in a soft, questioning tone. "Who's the damn client?" I asked hastily. "I don't know him," Mr. Richardson said and I muttered a curse beneath my breath. I glared at him, hoping to scare the truth out of him. "I swear, I don't know him. He refused to divulge any information about himself," Richardson said with his voice breaking in between words. I stood up straight and adjusted my dress.He was telling the truth.
I suddenly grabbed him and pulled him up. He made a funny sound as he was scared and I smiled. I grabbed the rope tying his hands together, loosened it, and tied him to the window.
I grabbed his pants suddenly and pulled them down to reveal only his tight grey briefs and bulge. He looked scared and at the same time curious about what I was going to do.
I smirked and grabbed his brief next, pulling it down. His lower body was naked and I cringed at the sight of his manhood. Disgusting."That's for wasting my time," I smirked and turned around to face my men. Whoever found him first would meet him naked and that would be definitely embarrassing.
I stretched out my hand and one of them handed me my purse. I reached into it and took out my lipstick and mirror.
"Please…..Please…." Mr. Richardson pleaded with fear in his voice. Ignored him and painted my lips before closing my purse again and smiling at my men.
"We have an art exhibition to attend. Shall we?" I smiled at my men and one of them opened the door to the office.
I walked out of the office with Mr. Richardson shouting behind me.
"I'll get you for this. I swear!" His voice dripped with anger and threat. "I'll make you pay for this!"
Not bloody likely.
**I climbed down from the car, hearing the door slam shut behind me. I looked at the building it the hotel and I held my purse more closely to my body, sighing internally.
My men walked up to my side and I nodded at them before we all walked towards the hotel building. I looked at the guards at the door and I muttered a curse beneath my breath.I didn't have a pass to attend the gala. I kept on walking nonetheless and we stopped before the guards at the door.
"Your pass miss," One of them said in a rather coarse voice and I smiled confidently. I faced my men with the same smile.
"Go get yourselves some beer will you? I'll handle them," I said softly and they looked reluctant to obey for a while before walking away
A couple walked to the door and the man showed the guards his pass before they were let in.
I looked at the full moon slowly coming out of the sky and looked straight up again.
Okay Evelyn, you can do this. I looked at the guards and as they stared at me, their eyes got locked onto mine, unable to blink."I came here with my men and showed you my pass. You let me in and you'll let them in too, forgetting what just happened," I said in a gentle voice and they nodded in unison.
I smiled and looked over my shoulder briefly before walking into the building. This was a little secret of mine and I'm not ready to let anyone know yet.
Not even my father.
Evelyn. I took a sip out of the wine glass in my hand as the CEO of Sphinx Enterprises, Mr. Wells gave a speech on the podium at the far end of the large hall. He was saying something about his son returning from London and taking over the company. Everyone clapped as he introduce his son and concluded his speech. I looked around the hall for any sign of Mr. Speranzini, but there was none. No suspicious-looking person or guard. Everyone was either talking or pairing themselves off to dance. "Sorry to disturb the young lady," I heard a disturbing British accent behind me and I turned around to see a man staring at me. He looked British although his accent was rather disturbing. "I noticed you are here alone and I thought a beautiful lady like yourself should have some company," he said with his eyes trailing my body lustfully. I had the urge to throw my expensive wine in his face or gouge out his eyes, but I simply smiled. I had been sitting here all alone and continually glanci
Evelyn. Two Days Earlier. I grunted, folding back as Axel threw a punch in my abdomen.He smirked and I raised my head, suddenly swinging my leg at his head. He ducked as I expected, but my other leg hit him right in the face. He staggered backward and I charged at him again, kicking his leg and causing him to fall to the ground on his back. "Oh okay, that's wicked." He groaned and I smiled. Axel was my cousin, but more like my brother. His parents died when he was young and my dad brought him to the pack. "I warned you," I said and I stretched out my hand to him. He grabbed it and I pulled him up to his feet."Eve-" I looked at the door and saw Tyler standing there. I groaned, throwing my head back. What the hell does he want? "What is it?""There's a meeting. Hurry up," he said and I looked at myself. "I'm a mess now, I need to freshen up," I said and he scoffed, shaking his head."No one cares, let's go," he said and I sighed before going to meet him. "Hi, Axel." Tyler wav
Damian. "Slow down Damian." Lauren laughed as I grabbed the two shots of scotch on the counter and pushed them down in one gulp one after the other. "What's the use of high tolerance if I can't enjoy it," I replied and she chuckled. "Kidney failure and several other infections??" She asked and I laughed. "You're kidding right??" I gulped down the last shot of scotch on the counter and I pulled Lauren up from her seat. "Damian, what are you doing??" She asked, smiling in embarrassment as I dragged her to the dancing floor. "You brought me here so it's only fair enough that you dance with me and make the most of the time," I replied and she flushed in embarrassment. "I don't know how to dance," she chuckled, but I grabbed her hand and smiled. "Yeah, you do. Just imitate me." I began to dance to the beat of the loud music echoing all over the club. Lauren chuckled in embarrassment every second as she danced and she slowly began to dance more freely. "So, where is Jenna?" I asked,
Damian. I heard Lauren scream and I looked at her to see that the door on her side had been opened and someone pulled her out. No, no, no. I tugged harder at the metal to force it out so I could stop whoever that was. "Damian!!" Lauren screamed and I got scared. The metal refused to come out, so I bent it instead, groaning until it broke. With the other piece of metal still inside me, I kicked the door on my side open and climbed down. I gasped as I saw a man holding a gun to Lauren's neck. My heart began to beat rapidly and I could hear Lauren's tense breath from where I sat. I tried to move closer to them but he held the gun closer to Lauren's head. "Don't you dare take one more step forward!" He threatened and I stopped moving immediately. "Okay....okay.... what do you want," I asked quickly and he moved out of the way so I could see the person standing behind her. Shit! It was the man who was harassing Jenna at the club. He smirked as he saw the look on my face. "You were
Evelyn. I tucked loose strands of my hair behind my right ear as I looked everywhere in the hall for the tall man in the wine tuxedo. Where the hell was he? I have to get my hand on that stone before Tyler and prove him wrong. More importantly, I had to prove to my father that I was just as efficient as Tyler. I looked at the door as I saw the edge of a wine tuxedo disappear. I quickly walked to the door and hurried out. Fuck! I cursed once again as I saw the man in the wine tuxedo stop by a black BMW. The windows rolled down and he handed something to a man I couldn't see. The windows rolled down again and I quickly ran forward, but no one seemed to take notice of me and the car drove off. Bloody Hell. I ran to my car and opened the door, climbing in quickly and igniting the engine as I drove after the black BMW. So much stress for a freaking stone I'll never need. Whoever was in that car must have noticed that I was after them as they began to zoom away at maximum speed. T
Evelyn. Shit! Shit! Shit! Evelyn, what the fuck did you do?? I hit my forehead with my palm gritting my teeth in regret. I pulled the gear, zooming down the nearly empty road at maximum speed. I slowed down as I got close to the gate of the estate. I rolled down my windows and waved at the security guards."Open the gate."The gate slowly opened up and I drove into the estate. All Werewolves should have shifted back to their human form right now. The security guards never shifted, they were all Lycans, human hybrids and the curse didn't affect them. A strategy to ensure that the pack is not infiltrated on full moon nights even though it is the most inadvisable time to infiltrate. Speaking of curses, I fucked up and I am so dead. I was so confident that I would get the MoonGem this morning, but I didn't even lose it to bounty hunters, the black market, or the cops, I lost it to another pack! I lost the freaking MoonGem to another pack and now I don't know how I'm going to face a
Evelyn.10 years ago.I walked into history class with my handbag hung on my shoulder. I smiled as I saw Jessie, my best friend, and waved at her, going to sit next to her. I dropped my bag on my desk and looked at Mr. Millie's desk at the front of the class. I was late and he wasn't even in class yet. "Mr. Millie isn't in class yet," I said and Jessie nodded. "He should show up soon." I opened my bag to take out my history textbook and I looked up as I saw the new guy, Fred walk into the class. We ran into each other at the cafeteria yesterday and we both had mutual hated for most of the available foods. He was also nice and cute. He glanced across the classroom before going to sit on the empty seat next to me. He smiled at me and I smiled back at him. I looked up again and saw that Ashton also walked into the class. He saw the both of us and I could see the jealousy in his eyes. It felt so good to see him like that even though nothing was going on between the both of us. He h
I need to get out of here. I began to run but stopped as I remembered leaving me and Jessie's purse at the bar. I ran back to the bar quickly and grabbed the bags when I suddenly felt someone hold my head from behind.The last thing I heard was the snapping of my neck. ***PRESENTI dropped the make-up brush as I finished hiding the bruises on my face. I put a short pin in my hair that was packed into a bun. An emergency council meeting will be held according to my dad yesterday and I didn't want to further annoy him by being late. I walked out of my room and locked the door. After my neck was snapped at that Vampire club, I jerked back to life a few minutes ago. I didn't understand how I wasn't dead until I found out from Jessie that the drinks we had were usually spiked with Vampire blood. I had not bloomed as a Werewolf so dying with Vampire blood in my system must have made me a Vampire and brought me back to life. It's not logical, but that's the only possible explanation
Evelyn.My eyes shot open all of a sudden and I gasped as I jerked up from my bed. I looked around and saw that I was in my room lying on my bed.I suddenly remembered everything that happens with Damian and my hands instinctively went to my chest. What happened?? I looked at my hands and saw that I had shifted back into my original form. It must have happened after he stabbed me since I was not conscious to keep the face. This was the second time I had been stabbed in the chest in less than a month. Maybe I was lucky to have near immortality, but it still hurt as hell. More importantly, Damian saw me at that church, and worse, I was pretending to be someone else. I'm so fucked right now. My mission here is over. I sighed bitterly. I shook my head, deciding to stop thinking too much and questioning myself until I have to face what happens. I felt so thirsty and hungry right now and I wanted to get something to eat.I climbed down from the bed and as soon as my feets touched the
***STEVE***. As soon as I hurried out of Viktor's house, I took out my key from my pocket and opened the car, climbing in and driving off.I got to my house in ten minutes and I pulled over in the garage before climbing down. I had to freshen up, get dressed and get the files I need in ten minutes.I was walking to my room when I saw a shadow flash in front of me. And it wasn't mine. I stopped walking, feeling I wasn't alone. My mind went to the dream I just had earlier. What if Pedro wanted to get back at me for standing up to him? I saw the second shadow and I quickly turned around only to see a large club swinging at me and hitting my head. I held my head, groaning in pain as my vision became blurry immediately. I looked up and tried to see who it was, but my eyes failed me and I lost consciousness. *I opened my eyes and I shut them immediately as they were hit by the bright sunlight. I was lying back flat on the ground, therefore directly facing the sun so I had to turn a
***VIKTOR***"Steve, is that you?" I asked and the voice of the person who responded caused my heart to skip. Oh fuck! "Papa?" I said softly, my heart beating rapidly. "Yes, it's me, son," he replied, "guess who I ran into today - it's that young man I met at your house the other day.""Don't you dare lay a finger on him!" I bellowed angrily and I heard him chuckle."See? I knew that you care about him. I know when my boy has a special feeling towards someone," he said proudly and laughed. "What do you want??" I asked. "Good. Although, I don't want much, other than seeing you without being chased away like an unwanted piece of shit," Papa replied, "so, if you want to see your precious little wolf, breathing and alive, or with his body parts intact, then you have to come to save him yourself," Papa continued. I knew that it was a trap, but I couldn't just sit around and do nothing. I had to save Steve or Papa will fulfill his threat. "Where is he??" I asked. "So there's this th
***DAMIAN***My phone rang and I reached for it, looking at who was calling. It was the man who I sent to help me monitor the movement of Minerva. Yesterday, I wasn't able to go to the club where she was supposed to be because of the issue with the Rogues. Hoping that he already had info on her movement, I stood up and excused myself."Excuse me." I accepted the call, "Tell me that you have useful information." "Yes, I just got notified that Minerva will be on the move to meet a business partner in the next 30 minutes," he said and I nodded in satisfaction. "Alright. Stay close to the estate gate, we'll meet you there in 10 minutes," I said and ended the call, walking back to the table. "I think we've all come to an agreement now, there's somewhere I need to be," I said quickly. "Alright. Have a nice day," Zon replied and stood up, walking out of the restaurant. Viktor left like he was in a hurry too.I raised my phone again and hurriedly dialed Lorenzo's number. "I just got ca
Viktor.We both walked back to the sitting room and I sat down on a couch next to him. I smiled as I saw him toying with his fingers. I knew he had something on his mind that he wanted to ask, but because of everything I said earlier, he might not want to."You can ask what you want to ask." I smiled and he faced me immediately. I smiled and faced him, "Your special abilities. How do you have them??" He asked quickly and I smiled. I shifted closer to him and put my hand on the back of his head, pulling him closer. "Let me show you." I leaned in towards him and kissed him. I showed him everything I knew about how I was born and we continued talking for the whole day till we both fell asleep. ** As soon as Steve left, I quickly rushed to my room, took off my clothes, and entered the bathroom. Damian would be so annoyed that I am late. I quickly took my bait and got dressed before rushing out of the house and driving off to the restaurant where we were supposed to meet. I was the o
Viktor. I froze as a saw Papa at the door. What was he doing here? How did he find him? What did he want?Just as I saw his face, memories of my childhood and everything I did because of him came flooding back.So many families lost their loved ones, so many clans were destroyed, and so many people had reason to cry because of me. I froze in surprise and I wasn't able to say a word even when Steve confronted him. "He is right, you need to leave," I finally summoned the courage to chase him away and I gulped. Unable to hold back the emotions welling up inside of me, I zoomed away, going into the restroom and resting on the sink. Tears welled up in my eyes and I sit quietly trying to push back the tears. Why??Why was Papa here?? Why did he have to come back into my life??I switch on the top and scooped water into my hands to wash my face but the tears keep streaming down my face. I heard the door open and I knew it was Landon, but I kept my face down, trying to blink back the tea
***STEVE***I slowly opened my eyes as I stirred out of sleep in the middle of the night. I stretched and yawned loudly looking beside me to see Viktor sleeping peacefully. We were both in his room right now. I looked at the led alarm clock on the table beside his bed and saw that it was just 2 am. I was feeling so thirsty so I stood up and slipped into my a sandal lying at the foot of the bed. I walked to the door and slowly opened it so I wouldn't wake Viktor up. I walked out, moving around so I could find the Kitchen since I wasn't familiar with the house.I finally found the kitchen and I found the light switch on the wall, switching the light on. I walked to the fridge and I took out bottled water. As I opened the bottle, I heard a strange sound coming from outside and I stopped moving.I slowly dropped the bottle on the Kitchen slab and quietly walked to the window, and pushed the window blind aside a bit to look outside. I saw flickering lights and footsteps and I quickly
***DAMIAN*** "Wait, but we left Evelyn alone in the pack mansion," Lorenzo said and my heart skipped. Holy shit! I immediately ran back to my car and I didn't even wait for anyone before starting the car and driving away. I pulled the gear, zooming down the road at full speed. How could I be so stupid!! How could I have forgotten about her? She was so vulnerable right and the Rogues could do anything if they got to her first. I looked at the Rear view mirror and saw Lorenzo's car behind me. We finally arrived at the mansion and I pulled up quickly, climbing down from the car and running up to the door. I didn't bother to open the door and I just wanted to push it open, but I got pushed back. I grabbed the doorknob and tried to open the door, but it was closed and I gritted my teeth. Fuck! Lorenzo's car soon pulled over and he climbed out with three other men from the pack. "The door is locked," I said and kicked it in frustration. It was designed to withstand force so the
**DAMIAN***. As I drove to the pack mansion, I looked l left as I passed by the church. It was one month till the Lunar Eclipse and I'll get rid of the Wolf curse. I squeezed my face in dissatisfaction as I noticed there were no guards standing around the church. Where the hell did they go to?? I pulled over by the side of the road and climbed down from my car. I saw there was another car parked in front and I looked at it closely. I didn't recognize it, but it could be anyone's car. I walked to the church quickly and I opened the door slowly. I saw the guard I assigned to coordinate others to watch this place and I sighed in relief. I thought they left this place unguarded.Are you the only one here?" I asked as the guard turned around. He looked curious or surprised to see me here. "I was passing by and I didn't see any other guards outside so I came to check," I said and he still didn't say anything. Why was he acting so weird?? "They suspect an intruder is somewhere around
