LorenzoThe hospital's bright lights beckoned me as I pulled into the parking lot. I rushed inside, fueled by a potent mix of worry and hope.A nurse greeted me with a warm smile at the reception desk. "Alpha Lorenzo? I assume you're here for—""Eva," I interrupted, urgency bleeding into my voice. "How is she?"The nurse's expression softened, her tone gentle. "She's recovering well. You'll find her in room 304."I didn't even respond or look twice at her. I simply ran off, took the stairs two at a time, my heart thundering in my chest as I closed the distance between us.Room 304.I pushed open the door, my gaze sweeping across the dimly lit space until it landed on Eva's sleeping form.My heart skipped a beat at the sight of her.Quietly, I approached her bedside, the sound of my footsteps muffled by the stillness of the room."Eva?" I whispered, my voice trembling with a mixture of relief and apprehension. She slowly opened her eyes, an unreadable look on her face.Gently, I sat be
LorenzoI groggily opened my eyes, greeted by a pounding headache and dry mouth. The events of the previous night were hazy, but the hangover was all too real. I winced, trying to recall how I ended up in bed.That's when I saw her – a lady lying beside me, naked. My gaze drifted to my own bare chest, and my mind went blank. What happened?I panicked as I scrambled to piece together the fragments of my memory. Last night, I saw Eva's face, heard her voice, felt her presence. But this wasn't Eva!"Eva?" I whispered, confusion etched on my face.The woman beside me stirred, smiling softly. "Morning," she said, her voice husky with a smile on her lips.My heart sank. This wasn't Eva. It was Erica."What are you doing here? No, I mean... what happened last night?" I asked, desperation creeping into my voice.Erica's smile faltered, and she sat up, pulling the sheet around her. "You don't remember?"I shook my head, feeling a wave of anxiety wash over me."We... uh... we had a lot to drink

EvaAfter breaking up with Lorenzo, I watched him leave before unraveling, surrendering to the torrent of tears that had been building up inside me. I cried uncontrollably like a little baby, my body shaking with the force of my sobs. Thelma held me close, offering comforting words throughout my emotional storm.An hour passed, and the food Thelma had bought grew cold, untouched. My tears gradually subsided, replaced by a bone-deep exhaustion."Eva, do you want me to heat up your food?" Thelma asked gently, a worried look on her face.I wiped away my tears, shaking my head. "No, Thelma, I'm okay. I'm not hungry."Her expression softened. "Then, I think you need rest, Eva. Sleep will do you good."I nodded, feeling emotionally drained. "Yes, that's what I need."Thelma helped me get comfortable in bed. "If you're hungry later, let me know."I managed a weak smile, nodding in agreement.As she tucked me in, I closed my eyes, allowing fatigue to consume me.A few hours later, I woke up f
EvaAs my consciousness returned, I slowly opened my eyes, a tired moan escaping my lips. Disoriented, I tried to make sense of my surroundings. The last thing I remembered was fleeing the hospital, tears blurring my vision.A gentle voice whispered, "Welcome back, Eva."My gaze shifted towards the speaker, and my breath hitched in my throat.Christopher.My heart hammered in my chest as a mixture of shock, worry, and anxiety washed over me. What was he doing here?"What am I doing here?" I stammered, trying to keep my voice steady.Christopher smiled warmly, but his eyes betrayed his true intentions. "You fainted, Eva. I found you and brought you here.""How did you even find me?" I demanded, my voice laced with suspicion.He shrugged nonchalantly. "I've been keeping an eye on you."A shudder ran down my spine. "Stop stalking me."He chuckled, seemingly amused by my discomfort. "You're mine, Eva. Whether you like it or not."I tried to stand, only to find my ankles were chained to th
LorenzoI parked my car in the hospital's lot, my mind still thinking of Eva. I just wanted to apologize and ensure she was okay. I rushed upstairs to her room, anticipating finding her resting. However, upon opening the door, I found the bed empty.Confused, I checked my wristwatch. Perhaps she'd stepped out for fresh air? I waited for thirty minutes, but she didn't return.Growing increasingly concerned, I decided to check the bathroom. But there was no sign of Eva.I approached the nurse's station, anxiety churning in my stomach. "Excuse me, have you seen Eva? She was in room 304."The nurse's expression turned worried. "Actually, we've been searching for her everywhere. She left her room earlier this evening, and we haven't seen her since."My gut twisted with unease. "What do you mean? How could she just vanish?"The nurse shrugged helplessly. "We're still trying to figure that out, sir.""Show me the CCTV footage," I demanded, my voice firm.The nurse nodded and led me to the ho
LorenzoI kept a steady pace behind Eva as she walked through the dark streets, her slender figure bathed in the intermittent glow of the streetlights.Abruptly, she halted and spun around, her piercing gaze meeting mine. "Why are you following me?" she demanded, her voice tinged with irritation.I raised my hands in a placating gesture. "You're not familiar with the area," I explained calmly. "Let me help you get back to the hospital safely."Eva's eyes narrowed, her jaw tightening. "I don't want to go back to that hospital," she said firmly, leaving no room for argument."Okay, then where do you want to go? Your sister's?" I suggested, trying to be helpful.She shook her head, dismissing the idea. "No, not there either."Concern etched my mind as I struggled to understand what she needed. "Look, it's late. Why don't we find a hotel for the night? You can rest, and we'll figure things out in the morning."Eva scoffed, her voice laced with disdain. "Don't worry about me, Lorenzo. You
EvaI stood frozen, my eyes fixed on the spot where Lorenzo vanished into the sea. Shock paralyzed me, refusing to let my brain process what I'd just witnessed."Lorenzo!" I screamed, my voice echoing across the desolated road, raw with desperation.My heart pounded in my chest, threatening to shatter into a million pieces. How could he do this? Why would he give up? Questions raced through my mind, mingling with the terror that gripped my soul.Suddenly, my instinct took over. I kicked off my shoes and jumped into the water without hesitation, the chill of the sea enveloping me like a vice. I fought against the initial shock, forcing my body to adjust to the frigid temperature.Tears streamed down my face as I struggled to swim against the powerful current. It was like the water was determined to keep me from reaching him, its force unrelenting and merciless."Lorenzo!" I cried out, my voice hoarse from desperation. I paused, trying to catch my breath, my lungs burning with the effor
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
