LorenzoAs I navigated the car through the city's bustling streets, my thoughts drifted back to Eva. Her fragile form, her wavering body back at the kidnapper's den - it all swirled in my head like a vortex.I took a deep breath, my grip on the wheel tightening as I made a call. Toby answered on the first ring, his voice crisp and alert."Alpha Lorenzo," he said, a hint of deference in his tone."Toby, what's the latest on Eva?" I asked, my voice firm but laced with a hint of concern."I took her to the hospital as you instructed, Alpha," Toby replied. "She's receiving the best care. But we have a situation - a casualty from last night's incident. We need to address it ASAP."My jaw clenched, my mind racing with the implications. "You're dismissed, Toby. I'll call Thelma, Eva's sister, now. You head back to the pack house and start gathering elders for the important meeting. We'll settle this today.""Understood, Alpha," Toby said before ending the call.I dialed another number, my ey
LorenzoAs I rolled down the window, the woman's eyes widened in recognition. She whispered my name, "Alpha Lorenzo," and bowed her head in respect. My eyes turned away and locked onto Eva's shocked gaze. I beckoned her to come closer.She approached the car, a shiver running down her spine, and I could sense her nervousness. I opened the door from the inside, and she slid into the passenger seat. The woman who had been helping her bowed her head again, and I nodded in acknowledgment.With a swift motion, I closed the door and started the engine. We glided away from the curb, leaving the bustling streets behind."What are you doing here?" I asked in a low, husky voice, my eyes fixed on hers.Eva swallowed hard, her eyes darting around before focusing on me again. "I came to see you," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.I raised an eyebrow, my expression unyielding. "See me? We don't have anything to discuss, do we?" I asked gruffly, my tone firm but controlled."We do," she
EvaI swallowed hard after hearing his statement. Did it mean I had to have sex with him? I was only trying to persuade him to give me a chance, but now my words had been twisted."You aren't waiting for my instructions, I hope?" his deep voice asked, sending a shiver down my spine."Not at all," I muttered, my voice barely audible, as I slowly began to remove my clothes. I couldn't believe I was about to have sex with Alpha Lorenzo, and in a car of all places. It was surreal.His eyes, which had been closed for what felt like an eternity, finally opened, and when he saw me sitting there, next to him, in my bra, my cleavage exposed, his eyes widened in surprise. "What are you doing?" he asked, his confusion evident.I was taken aback by his question. "What do you mean?" I replied, trying to sound calm."Why are you taking off your clothes?" he asked, with all seriousness, his brows furrowed."I promised you I'd make you cum, didn't I?" I said, as if I was trying to remind him."Yeah,
EvaAs I opened my eyes, I was shocked to find that the sky had already turned a warm orange, signaling the approach of evening. I quickly lifted my head, only to notice a trail of drool running down my chin. I was mortified to realize I had fallen asleep on Lorenzo's cheek, and my drool had spilled all over his face. My heart raced with embarrassment as I gazed at the sticky mess I had made.I wanted to clean it up, but I had to be careful not to wake him. So, I gently took the edge of my sleeve and attempted to wipe the drool from his face. Just as I was about to make contact, Lorenzo lifted his eyelids and our eyes met. I froze, my sleeve hovering in mid-air, as I thought, "Oh my goodness, I've been caught!""What are you doing?" Lorenzo asked, his voice barely above a whisper.I quickly cleaned his face, my movements swift and frantic. He took his head off my shoulder and looked at me, his eyes narrowed. "What did you just do to my face?" He touched his face, and his eyes widened
EvaAs Lorenzo stopped the car in front of my home, I opened the door and stepped out. I turned back to the window, looking at him with a smile. I bowed my head and said, "Thank you, Alpha Lorenzo."Lorenzo simply nodded, then popped his head out of the window, looking around at the environment. He pointed at the house and asked, "Is this your place?"I nodded, still smiling. "Yes, it is.""I'll give you a call later, okay?" he said, taking his head back in the car.I nodded, still smiling. "Okay, bye Alpha."He just gave a slight nod and drove away. I jumped up, twirling around with joy. I felt like I was on cloud nine, my heart full of happiness. I danced my way to the front door, feeling like nothing could bring me down. I felt so free and alive!Once inside, I flopped onto my bed, still grinning from ear to ear. I ordered my favorite food, an expensive dish I rarely treated myself to. When the delivery man arrived, I took the food and dug in, savoring every bite. The flavors explo
EvaI entered the bedroom, and my eyes landed on Thelma's husband, lying on the bed, engrossed in his phone. A bright smile lit up his face, and I could tell he was chatting with someone. He looked up, caught my gaze, and his expression turned sour. "What are you doing here?" he growled, his tone dripping with disdain."I'm sorry for not knocking. It's just that I–""I'm not asking why you didn't knock. I'm asking what you want," he cut me off, his eyes narrowing. "Why are you even in this bedroom, or do you plan to seduce me or what?" He raised an eyebrow, his gaze piercing.My eyes widened in shock as I shook my head vehemently. "What? No, not at all! I'm here because Thelma is injured, and I need the first aid kit."He shrugged, his expression nonchalant. "I can't help you. I don't know where that is. Tell her to come and find it herself."His dismissive tone infuriated me, but I bit back my retort. I just couldn't believe he acted that way despite me telling him what happened to h
EvaAs I walked home, I couldn't help but think about Thelma's situation. I couldn't shake off the image of her wounded wrist, her leg, and her husband's dismissive behavior. The encounter had left me feeling worried and bitter.Upon arriving home, I found myself without an appetite to continue the remaining food I had kept away. I badly wanted to call and message Thelma about the issue, but I was worried it might anger her even more. I couldn't shake off the thought of her husband, Mr. Thomas, and what I had seen him doing in the bedroom - chatting and smiling with someone else. It seemed like he was cheating on her. Why couldn't Thelma see this? I thought she was wise and perceptive.The worst part was that she might be experiencing domestic violence. I felt compelled to reach out to her. Chewing my nails anxiously, I called her, but she didn't answer. She was probably asleep, or maybe she was avoiding my call? I paced around, debating whether to call again, but I hesitated, fearing
EvaJust as I was starting to panic, a voice called out, "Eva, wait! What's going on? Why are you running away?"I swallowed hard and slowly turned to face the car. My eyes widened as I saw Toby's head popping out of the car's window, looking all worried."My goodness!" I heaved a sigh of relief, my heart calming down.Toby pulled up beside me again, his brows furrowed with concern. "Why were you running? What happened?"I hesitated, then shook my head. "Never mind."Toby's expression turned gentle. "You can tell me, please. You acted so strange back there. Is everything alright?"My eyes fluttered closed as I clenched my fists tightly, the memory still raw. "When you followed me from behind, it triggered the traumatic experience I had a few days ago...with the kidnappers. Remember?"Toby's expression turned apologetic. "Oh no! I'm so sorry for sneaking up on you like that. I didn't mean to scare you."I took a deep breath, trying to calm down. "It's okay. I'm fine now.""Is that your
EPILOGUETWO MONTHS LATERThe sun cast its golden rays upon the lush gardens of the Night City Pack's estate, where Eva and Lorenzo's wedding celebration was in full swing. The air was alive with laughter and music as pack members and guests from far and wide gathered to witness the union of Alpha Luna and her beloved.As the newlyweds shared their first dance, all eyes were on them. Eva's elegant white gown shimmered under the sunlight, her hair styled perfectly to showcase her radiant smile. Lorenzo, dashing in his tailored tuxedo, gazed lovingly into her eyes.The crowd cheered and applauded as they swayed to the music, their lips meeting in a tender kiss. The pack's elder, who had officiated the ceremony, beamed with joy, his eyes misty.Nearby, Eva's friends and pack members couldn't help but tear up, overwhelmed with happiness for their beloved Alpha Luna. The atmosphere was electric, filled with love and gratitude.As the music faded, Lorenzo took the microphone, his voice boom
LorenzoI leaned in, my lips brushing against Eva's in a tender kiss. She let out a soft laugh, her eyes sparkling with joy."What are you doing?" she teased, her voice filled with warmth.I rubbed her stomach gently, my voice brimming with love and affection. "Baby, please come fast. Your dad is waiting for you."Eva's smile widened, lighting up the entire room. Just then, her phone beeped, signaling a new message.Peering over her shoulder, I saw that it was a message from the Wild Song pack members. I couldn't help but grin as I read the heartfelt words expressing how much they missed her and longed to see her again."They've invited you to the pack," I said, my voice laced with excitement.Eva looked up at me, a hint of uncertainty in her eyes. "Should I go?"I chuckled softly. "Is that even a question? Of course, you should go. But don't worry, I'll be right there with you."Eva nodded, relief washing over her as she realized she wouldn't have to face the pack alone.THE NEXT DAY
EvaA sinister gleam filled Mona's eyes. "I heard you're pregnant, Eva."My mind spun, my voice trembling. "How did you know that?"Mona's smile widened, revealing a hint of cruelty. "Oh, I know everything about you, Eva."To my horror, she reached out and touched my stomach, a chilling intimacy in her gesture."I'll help you get rid of it," she whispered, her voice dropping to a low hiss. "I know you don't want the baby."I recoiled, my body trembling with fear and disbelief. "I never said I didn't want the baby."Mona's grip on my stomach tightened, and I tried to pull away, only to find that heavy chains bound my wrists and ankles, rendering me utterly helpless.With a flourish, Mona produced a dagger, its point glinting ominously in the dim light. I watched in horror as she traced the blade across my stomach, a wicked grin playing on her lips."You won't need this burden," Mona hissed, her eyes filled with a terrifying madness.A searing pain erupted in my stomach as the dagger sl
EvaRising from my seat, I followed the nurse as she led me to the lab for tests. With each step, my mind raced, conjuring innumerable possibilities.Anxious moments stretched into an eternity as I awaited the results, lost in a whirlwind of thoughts.Eventually, the nurse returned, her voice calling out, "Eva Chapman, please proceed to the doctor's office. Your results are ready."I stood up and went over to the door, which I knocked, my heart hammering in my chest, and entered.A woman with a warm smile greeted me. "Hello, Eva. I'm Dr. Rachel Thompson. Welcome. Please, take a seat."I complied, curiosity piqued by the doctor's optimistic demeanor. Could it mean that my test results were normal? Was I truly alright after all?Leaning forward, Dr. Thompson's eyes shone with kindness. "Eva, I have good news and...complicated news."My heart plummeted. Complicated? A feeling of dread washed over me. "What do you mean?" I asked, attempting to maintain a facade of calm.Dr. Thompson's smi
Eva Six hours ago... Standing beside Thelma in our cozy kitchen, I methodically chopped vegetables for dinner. The tantalizing aroma of sautéed ginger usually filled me with warmth and comfort, but today it was suffocating. I covered my nose, scrunching my face in disgust. "Thelma," I choked out, "I...I don't know what's wrong. This smell is nauseating." She turned to me, her brow creased with concern. "Eva, are you alright? You normally love the smell of ginger." I shook my head, a wave of nausea washing over me. "I don't know. It just...ugh." Before Thelma could respond, I bolted out of the kitchen, my hand clamped over my mouth. I raced to the bathroom and collapsed to my knees, retching violently into the toilet. The intensity and suddenness of my illness left me bewildered. After splashing my face with cold water, I stared at my pallid reflection in the mirror, unease settling over me. What was happening? With a deep breath, I gathered my courage and made my way back to th
Mona I ran through the dense forest alongside Erica, our footsteps pounding against the earth. Finally, we stopped and looked back, seeing no one pursuing us. "Fuck!" I exclaimed, running my hands through my hair in frustration. "Can you stop screaming?" Erica snapped, her expression stern. "What if they hear us and come for us? It's all your fault." I scoffed, turning to her. "You're not a saint, Erica. And don't try to tell me what to do." "I'm done following you, Mona," her anger flared, her voice rising. "It's not like I killed James; that was your doing. I'm not a murderer. I'M OUT." My grip on her arm tightened. "Where do you think you're going? You can't just leave." "Watch me. We're over," Erica said, her eyes flashing with a firm tone in her voice. I felt a surge of panic, my mind racing. "You can't just walk away." Erica's gaze hardened. "I can, and I will." I seethed with rage as she walked away. Without thinking, I grabbed a big stone and screamed, charging behind
Eva As we settled onto the sofas, Thomas and Lorenzo sat opposite us, their faces etched with concern. I grasped Thelma's hands, my eyes locked on hers, silently encouraging her to share her story. "Thelma, what happened? How did you get kidnapped? How did you escape? Please, tell me everything," I asked, my voice gentle yet urgent. Thelma's eyes welled up with tears, her body trembling as she struggled to speak. I quickly wrapped my arms around her, pulling her close in a comforting embrace. "Shh, it's okay, Thelma. Don't force yourself. You don't have to remember," I whispered, softly patting her back. Lorenzo nodded in agreement, his voice filled with relief. "Yes, we're just glad you're back home, safe and sound. We were so worried about you." Thelma's sobs intensified, her pain and fear palpable. Thomas came to us and leaned forward, his eyes reflecting his empathy and concern. "Take your time, Thelma. We're here for you," he said, his tone soothing and supportive. As her
EvaAs Lorenzo excused himself to transfer the files to Rita's phone, she turned to me with a warm smile."Let's exchange numbers," she suggested, handing me her phone. "After all, we'll be sisters-in-law soon."My eyes sparkled as I entered my number, a hint of amusement in my voice."Actually, we aren't officially engaged yet," I clarified, my lips curving into a gentle smile.Rita's brow raised as she questioned me. "What do you mean? Haven't you two gotten engaged yet?"I hesitated, unsure of how to explain. "We did, but...I gave him back the ring.""Why would you do that?" she asked, her curiosity piqued.My voice dropped to a whisper as I confessed. "I got caught up in a situation, and returning the ring seemed like the only way out."Rita's expression softened, her eyes locked on mine. "You're hesitant because of what happened with Christopher, aren't you?"I nodded, my heart heavy with uncertainty."Don't worry," she reassured me, her tone gentle and understanding. "Lorenzo lo
LorenzoAs I entered my apartment with Eva by my side, I immediately made my way to my drawer, rummaging through its contents with a sense of urgency.Eva observed my actions, her curiosity piqued."What are you searching for?" she inquired, her voice tinged with concern."The flash drive," I replied, my brow furrowed in concentration. "You know it contains crucial evidence of Mona's involvement in the murder."Eva's eyes widened with alarm. "Let me assist you," she offered, her tone resolute.Together, we combed through every nook and cranny of the apartment, leaving no stone unturned. Yet, the flash drive remained elusive, and my worry deepened, my jaw clenched in frustration."Are you certain you kept it here?" Eva asked, her gaze searching mine."Yes, I'm positive," I affirmed, my voice firm.Eva's eyes locked onto mine, her voice a gentle whisper. "What if Mona and Erica found it and took it?"My face darkened, my fist clenched in anger. "They wouldn't dare," I growled, my teeth
