Evelyn’s P.O.V.Thanks to being alone in the room, I was saved from the humiliation of the walk of shame. But there was one more factor contributing to it, the throbbing pain came back to its regal glory as soon as I regained consciousness.The haze of the wild lust was over, now it was the time to face the aftermath. The mating mark, that wound was hurting like Hell, as if someone bit off that part of my neck.I groaned while moving my different body parts, Ivy materialized out of thin air. “Good morning, Luna!”I yawned and spoke lazily.“It’s a bad morning, Ivy. Greet me properly.”She cast me a glare before opening the blinds, the dazzling sunlight made my head hurt more.“Why bad morning? It’s the best morning, Luna. Finally, Alpha marked you and declared your authority over the Pack.”Then she sat beside me, completely disregarding my ragged condition.“You know, Luna. The most exciting part of your marking was the connection to our Pack link. I was washing dishes in
Evelyn’s P.O.V.Walking through the dimly lightened tunnel stirred mixed emotions in my heart, the scenes of that night were swirling before my eyes.“Dad?”I called for my dad, as the silver chains were hanging freely. My dad’s misery had scarred my soul, my hurried steps took me to that cursed place in no time. “Evelyn!”My dad’s voice came out right after my call, I spun around frantically to search for him. “Where are you, dad?”My words were echoing in the empty concrete room, it seemed that my dad’s voice was coming from the adjacent room. He immediately instructed me.“Pull the left chain on the wall.”I ran towards the torture point and with a single tug, that wall sliced open into another cell. I saw my dad there and hastily hugged him.“How are you, my girl? Are you hurt? Did they bully you?”Tears streamed down my eyes, I cried for a long time before replying to him. Honestly, I had lost all hope of seeing him alive after that horrendous torture.Firstly, I ch
Zuriel’s P.O.V.Zev's approval was something that put my heart at ease, I left all of my worries aside and went to sleep. Well, Zev became mean like every time and showed me Evelyn’s dreams the whole night, resulting in the dark circles around my eyes.“What the heck!”My reflection in the mirror suggested that I was a homeless, poor rogue and there was a recent bomb blast in my hair.“Zev!”I yelled at my wolf, but he was snarling at me, which was his own version of mocking me with a wide, toothy smile. He spoke in a mischievous tone.“Call those kittens from the last night. They will tell everyone that we are crack.”He was right, as the potential maid servants with their assets on display hovered around me at the dinner. I hid my amusement and reprimanded him.“We are guests here, Zev. Behave!”I got ready and had a light breakfast; my Gamma Jason came to my room with the agenda for today’s work.“We will visit the border’s security and Warrior’s Academy. One hour lecture
Zuriel’s P.O.V.Living up to his name, Bruce didn’t fail to annoy me, I had to take an urgent flight to solve that “emergency”. He received me at the airport with a flower bouquet.“Congratulations on the successful mating ritual, Alpha. I will visit the Pack soon.”That wide grin on his face was so inviting, I hardly refrained from breaking his jaw.“What’s the emergency, Bruce?”My Alpha tone acquired its desired results, Bruce came back to his usual mechanical self in a heartbeat.“President Walter has ended the contract and paid the penalty money last night. His daughter is sick, that’s why he went back to his home.”The abrupt end of this favorable deal was indeed disturbing, that penalty amount was nothing before the net profit we could achieve together.Alas! It ended so soon. As my dream of marketing my products overseas was officially shattered by Walter's return, I reached my office with a heavy heart. Everything was the same there, only the empty cabin of Evelyn
Evelyn's P.O.V.After that night, I visited my dad again, taking full advantage of Zuriel’s absence. Ivy was out for work, there wasn’t any chance for her return until dinner. So my unwavering courage was the same as a thief with his growing chart of success. We discussed that incident again, pointing out all the events to convince Zuriel. I lost the count of time in that man-made Hell, my dad’s comforting words created an invisible cocoon of safety around my existence. It provided me some courage to cope up with the current situation, he gave me a detailed lecture about the pros and cons of living in the supernatural world. “It would be better if your mother could explain you this, but the dynamics of the relationships are necessary for you to understand. Soulmates or fated mates are two parts of the same soul, so denying or fighting against this bond will only create problems for you. It doesn’t mean that under any circumstances, you should endure injustice or any abuse. You are
Evelyn’s P.O.V.“B-Blitzer?”Eddie's tiny inhumane voice sent a shiver down my spine, that strange tone was a bomb blast at my face. My determination to save my son from this supernatural world jumped out of the window right in front of my eyes, leaving me aghast.What were the odds? My bunny was a normal human child, when did he become an animal like Zuriel?I cupped his face with both hands and kissed his forehead.“My son!”My dreams, my decisions, the inner turmoil swirling inside me was my personal problem, my bunny had nothing to do with that. I couldn’t be selfish to break my son’s heart, he was too innocent to endure the harshness of this world.“Hello, Blitzer. Call me mommy. I am glad that you take care of Eddie secretly. You are such a good boy.”Eddie's cute golden eyes widened, as if they would pop out of their sockets, he stared at me with disbelief. After a momentary shock, he exclaimed.“Mommy!”And wrapped his small arms around me while snuggling to my chest
Evelyn’s P.O.V.Lady Stella, Carla, Henry, and Zoe were gathered in the room to meet Eddie, their wide smiles and welcoming gestures greeted us there.Zuriel moved forward and bowed his head, showing respect to his aunt.“Meet my son, Eddie Scott, aunt. He is a born wolf.”Lady Stella’s kind expressions portrayed an ocean of endless love, her smile was soft and gentle, full of delight. I also felt it in her voice during the formal introduction.“I am so happy that our Scott’s family is blessed with an heir. Only the Moon Goddess knows how to heal the lacerations of one’s soul.”Her religious views, unadulterated joy, everything was top-notch, but my bunny whispered in my ears. “I don’t like this lady, mommy. Blitzer says she is an evil soul.”Perhaps Zuriel and Henry also listened to this comment, their faces darkened at this insult. I stared at my bunny with my signature angry mom’s glare, he straightened up immediately. I put him down so that he could greet everyone properl
Evelyn’s P.O.V.“It’s true that parents can do anything for their children, but they can’t write their good fortune. How helpless they are even after giving life to a child!”My dad’s simple words were so powerful that I fell into deep sleep while crying, regardless of the horrors of the next sun rise. I didn’t know how long I slept, albeit the prison floor was rough.The weight of emotional injury along with endless anxiety jolted me awake, the pleasant rays of morning sunlight made me question my eyesight. The second noticeable thing was the softness of the mattress beneath me, I forced my eyes open and looked around frantically. A spacious room decorated with an off white-brown theme was illuminated by sunlight, that unfamiliar room felt oddly safe and peaceful.“Where am I?”Zuriel had decided to kill us last night, how could he change his mind overnight? No, it was impossible, he must have planned something else.If I was out of prison, where would my dad be? Would he hang
Evelyn’s P.O.V.Three months later…“I, huntress Evelyn Campbell, accept you, Alpha Zuriel Scott as my soulmate!”These words completely changed the direction of my life that night, and clarified all the haze of uncertainty. My dad had informed me about his decision through a link. I was glad that Zuriel was able to secure a place in his heart.My marking also replied Walter, who left his mission and came to Zellburry pack for rescue. I couldn’t see in his eyes due to baseless guilt, and he also left the Hunter’s pack with Bex for good.Right after lady Stella’s arrest, Zuriel left all responsibilities for dad and Aaron, and booked a three months’ vacation for us. At first, I was perplexed by the idea of leaving everything behind for an outing, but the vigor of my first heat explained his hastiness. Thanks to Ivy's presence, I was able to manage my time with Eddie; otherwise, ignoring my own son for carnal desires would be disastrous. Yes, sex.With that mark of my ring carved on his
Zuriel’s P.O.V.Lady Stella’s words came out in utter disbelief, she literally lost her mind when Evelyn raised her hand.“Are you talking about this ring?”She chuckled, her blazing eyes were shooting daggers at that criminal. “You think that I am a stupid to wear my original ring in this pack? Obviously not. I was warned to take care of my possession.Now, I am happy that a fake copy has fooled a brainless woman like you.”I stepped out of the cage, and stretched my muscles, Aaron’s cold figure crushed me into a hug.“Wolfie!”He wrapped his arms around my shoulders and pointed.“Look there!”My pack mates were finally free, they knelt down and bared their necks in submission. “Only you are our Alpha, Alpha Zuriel Scott!”I noted it in my mind to order a psych consult for my pack mates after dealing with this hornet’s nest, as the only mentally questionable people could choose an Alpha like me. Now my heart was at ease to see the enemy’s warriors arrested by the Hunters, while so
Zuriel’s P.O.V.My heart was thundering against my rib cage while anticipating the worst possible outcome, but the silence followed by my Alpha command baffled me. Bruce, my only close friend in the business circle, puffed his chest with pride and said,“Don’t think about some rescue from your huntress soulmate, Zuriel.Mom took care of her beforehand.”Lady Stella, booming with delight of his son’s epic performance, smiled brightly, as if she had conquered the whole world. She opened her clutch, showed me Evelyn’s silver ring, and then wore it to flex her fake authority.“I knew that you would try to threaten me with Evelyn’s power. That’s why my daughter Ivy has poisoned her.We couldn’t arrange a fitting poison to kill her quickly, so she has some hours left before a final goodbye.”The harshness of her tone pierced through my soul. The anger took the place of helplessness to drive me crazy as soon as the shock dissipated.“You have assassinated your brothers without getting suspe
Zuriel’s P.O.V.My eyes wandered from one corner of a street to another, the absence of the blood inside the pack was a sign of relief. It could only mean that the intruders hadn’t started massive killing. So this gathering must be a formal ceremony for introduction. I removed my coat and undid the buttons for any one-on-one combat. That was my pack, and it was my responsibility to protect it. The idea of failure was already dampening my soul. “They must be rogues, Zuriel! Sneaky bastards!”Zev’s reminder hinted towards Gamma Jason’s reports, a part of my soul was hopeful to strike a deal with the attackers.My pack’s finance was solely in my hand, the duty of taking care of the entire population wouldn’t be in the favor of homeless rogues. Perhaps, they would agree to leaving in exchange for a hefty amount of money.With these thoughts swirling in my mind, I carefully approached my pack’s ground, a familiar voice wrinkled my forehead in surprise. “It’s time to get rid of the futur
Zuriel’s P.O.V.When Evelyn mentioned a deal to revive our former relationship, I was over the moon, soaring high in the sky.You can imagine whatever scenario you like for being insanely excited as my heart threatened to tear my rib cage, and danced in the symphony of love. I left my pack that night and went on the new mission given by my Luna, disregarding my Pack’s condition. As Gamma Jason, who had been promoted to the Beta position, opposed my sudden decision.“After Henry’s death, unusual movements of rogues were noticed in different parts of our Werewolf Kingdom.They seemed to be working on a dirty agenda, you should stay here and guide us for a strong security system.”I turned deaf ears to his warning, and ordered him in my Alpha command.“We have a flawless defense system in the whole Kingdom. I trust in your abilities, and now Beta Bruce is also with you.All of you devise plans for patrolling teams, and arrange for food and fuel supply in case of any war.Keep me updated
Evelyn’s P.O.V.“A sister?”I was taken aback by this sudden onslaught hurled on me, but Eddie’s question gave me enough courage to discuss Walter’s issue with him.“A newborn sister would need extra care, and you’ll have to wait before she finally becomes able to play with you.What about Bex as your permanent sister? We can be a family with uncle Walter and his daughter.”My cautious approach was difficult to comprehend for Eddie, he knitted his brow.“Uncle Walter is your friend. How can we be family, mommy?”Why was this challenging to explain normal things to a child? I sighed and fiddled with my sleeves, avoiding eye-contact with my own child.“Uncle Walter wants to be my husband, then Bex and you’ll be brother-sister.”“No!”Eddie gasped, not believing his supernatural hearing. The mobile phone from his hand landed on the bed, he narrowed his eyes. “Are you divorcing my daddy? But it’s impossible, mommy.”His firm belief shook my confidence, I calmed my racing heart and asked.
Evelyn’s P.O.V.What the fucking hell!What the hell just happened in Zellburry pack? Henry’s execution was a nuclear explosion in my small world, I had been feeling its aftereffects even a week later.Previous seven days were total chaos, Beta Henry’s public execution left everyone thunderstruck. Not to mention lady Stella, who kept staring in space in a catatonic stupor, her trance finally broke when Carla came to her.“Mom!”Her heart-rending screeches debilitated the confines of the pack house, the entire pack observed how Carla grieved for her dead husband. She didn’t spare Zuriel and cursed him.“You, sick monster! You aren’t an Alpha. You are a killer. Why did you kill the father of my child?”The child, she was referring to, was Zoe, who was too innocent to register her loss. Carla had lost her mind, so I kept Zoe under my guardianship with my bunny and Bex. With this happy company, she soon forgot why her mother was wailing and crying. On the other hand, Zuriel was as cool
Zuriel’s P.O.V.On further investigation, Henry confessed that he retrieved uncle Spencer’s diary from his belongings, which included the details of his contact with rogues.He blatantly praised his dad’s treachery.“My dad was brave enough to take the first step towards justice. Why was it even a rule that the firstborn child will be the Alpha of the pack?My dad could be the Alpha of this Pack, but no one paid heed to his protests.”He balled his fists, and spat on the ground.“As soon as uncle Zack learned about my dad’s arrangements, he feared for his fake dynasty, and contacted our worst enemies for help. Those Hunters killed that rogue Alpha, the new leadership of the rogues wasn’t worthy of this title. Even so, they agreed to stick with the plan of ambush.But those brainless rogues were panicked by the Hunter’s presence, they killed my mom and dad to save their sorry asses.”This revelation disclosed the trifle between Scott’s brother before the whole pack, which was safeguar
Zuriel's P.O.V.My previous thoughts about the possibility of Henry’s attempt to approach our aunt would be proved right in such an absurd way? I had never imagined in my wildest nightmares.Right now, Henry was arrogantly standing in front of me, but my aunt’s critical condition made the whole scenario worse. She was tied to a chair with the help of ropes.The tears splashing from her eyes were the rivers of despair. She looked up, the misery written all over her face crushed my heart with a giant rock. “Don’t fight over a useless worldly possession, my son Henry. Family is more important than this.”Worldly possession? Henry?My mind was wheezing under the haze of this shocking disclosure, the ropes around my aunt’s fragile, old body rushed all my blood to my eyes. The world around me turned red, as I stepped forward. “What are you waiting for, Henry? Untie our aunt and tell me who has done this to her?I’ll skin that bastard alive!”Henry, my baby brother, a part of my heart, br
