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
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
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
Eva As I pushed the stretcher alongside my partner, I tugged self-consciously at the hem of my short nurse's uniform, my eyes fixed on the gasping patient. His labored breathing filled me with a sense of helplessness, and I silently prayed for his recovery. The familiarity of his face only added to my concern – he was my brother-in-law, and I'd watched him suffer from this debilitating illness for far too long. We finally reached an available ward, and I sprang into action, helping to initiate treatment. But just as we were making progress, Mona swept in, her confident stride and superior smile commanding attention. "Eva!" she called, her voice crisp and authoritative. "I'll take it from here." I turned to face her, my eyes narrowing slightly as I took in her indifferent expression. The other nurses seemed to shrink away, their faces neutral, and I knew I was outnumbered. "Huh? But I–" I began, but Mona's raised eyebrow silenced me. I glanced around the room, realizing I wouldn
Eva"Why are you doing this to me?" I asked, tears streaming down my face as my handcuffed hands pressed against the glass separating us. "You should tell the Alpha that you were the one who cared for his brother, not me."Mona folded her arms beneath her chest, sneering, "Is that why you demanded to see me? Gosh! I shouldn't have wasted my time coming here. I only came because your sister pleaded for my presence. Don't ever call me for this nonsense again."Then, she stormed off, nearly pushing my sister out of the way. My elder sister, Thelma, who is my only family since our parents' death, approached me and sat down on the chair facing me, offering comfort. "Don't worry," she assured me. "You'll be fine. I'll get to the bottom of this.""Please, get me a good lawyer, probably one from the city," I sobbed, shaking my head. "Nobody believes me, not even my fiancé.""Get a grip, please," Thelma snapped, frowning. "If only you had listened to me when I told you to come with me to the c
Eva"Didn't you just walk past her?" Christopher asked, nervousness evident in his tone. "I mean, what changed your mind?"Alpha Lorenzo smirked, a small scoff escaping his lips, and then took my small right hand, bringing it to his face. I could only watch him like a child entranced by a new sight, unable to say a word."I saw the ring on her finger and thought she was married, so I decided to step away. But then, I realized she might be the one I need," he said, nodding his head and then lowering my hand.I looked at Christopher's scowling face. He silently questioned me with his gaze: Why are you still wearing that darn ring?I carefully observed his fingers, and pushed down the ring, which fell down to the ground before stepping my feet on it. Clenching my jaw, the bitterness and hurt pierced my chest. The pain was overwhelming, especially since I had been rejected in such a weird way."You don't need to take her," Christopher suddenly said. "This woman committed a felony and will
Eva"Eva!" Thelma yelled my name, and I stood up. Seeing her brought tears of joy to my eyes. She ran up to me, and we hugged."I'm glad you're alright," she said, and I nodded quietly, sniffling softly. We were at the station, and the cops had contacted Thelma after I explained that I was new to the city and knew no place around. I needed to get to my sister, and thankfully, I knew her phone number by heart. It was such a big relief."Come on, let's go," she said, taking my hand. We left the station and got into a cab to her place. Upon arrival, she immediately prepared food from the kitchen and gave it to me and I started eating as if I hadn't eaten for months."Easy, the food isn't running away," she told me, chuckling softly, though she couldn't blame me for my behavior. I only smiled and asked for more. When I was completely full, I drank a whole cup of water and let out a sigh."What happened?" Thelma asked, cutting to the chase. I looked at her, seeing concern on her face. Afte
EvaWhat do you want, Alpha Lorenzo?" I asked, my voice trembling as my butt shifted now and then on the chair. "I'll do anything, please.""You'll do anything, but your voice is shaking so badly?" he asked, scoffing softly. "Would someone as apprehensive as you take my offer?""What offer is that, first?" I asked, swallowing hard.He nodded quietly, resting his back against the swivel chair and crossing his legs, while I nervously joined my sweaty thighs, my lips thinned."Why do you need this secretary job?" he asked, ignoring my question. "I thought you were a nurse.""About that, I've decided not to venture back into nursing," I answered, and his closed eyes shot open. He looked at me, his back leaving the chair rest."What?" he asked, a tinge of disbelief in his voice.I gulped hard and nodded. "After what happened, I decided not to go back to that occupation. I'm still traumatized," I confessed."I guess there's no use for you, then," he said. "You can leave, and you don't need
