Zuriel’s P.O.V.Evelyn's mom informed me while crying,"It was a pre-planned attack, son. Maeve's sister ran a rape-kit in her clinic, there was no evidence found in the examination."My mate's anguished sobs pierced through my heart, she left Jade's side and clung to my chest."I have no intentions of hurting you, Zuriel. But our family's honor will be tarnished by this video. I cannot drag you down with me.""We are a family, Evelyn. Don't think like this."I wrapped my arm around Evelyn's shoulders, and stopped her mom from contacting her husband."There's nothing your son can't handle, aunt. Please rest assured."With Aaron’s assistance, we were able to bury this matter in a couple of hours, but another issue arose to challenge our limits. Jade's condition was getting the worst day by day, the memory of her assault kept her awake all night. She spent most of the time screaming and kicking, gradually losing the basic function of her brain.We contacted top psychiatrists in the city
Evelyn’s P.O.V.“A vampire?”As my mind was under the haze of sleepiness, I thought that my hearing availabilities had tricked me. The seriousness of their faces was hinting towards the former declaration, so I questioned again.“President Aaron, your friend, is a blood sucker?”A look of a great annoyance swept across Aaron’s face. He looked at Zuriel, who stepped forward and placed his hands on my shoulders.“The theory famous among the humans have no reality in them, Evelyn. Aaron is a born vampire. He eats, sleeps and earns like a normal human being.”Their mysterious explanation was highly suspicious, let alone Zuriel’s pleading tone. They must be cooking something.“But why are you telling me all this? I have nothing to do with your friend.”“But your sister have!”President Aaron, made the most civilized look on his face, and spoke in an earnest tone.“Jade is my soulmate. Just like you and Zuriel.”.“Out!”I pointed towards the exit way and hollered in fury.“My sister is jus
Evelyn’s P.O.V.Next morning, we got a notice from the building owners to send Kim away, so Jade went to Scott’s orphanage to return him. Her cheerful behavior reevived my soul, we were lucky to have everything back to normal. My life was swaying under the aftereffects of a tsunami of supernatural wonders, as my family was back to normal overnight.Aaron had ended our misery; my entire existence was submerged in the sea of indebtedness. I would be thinking about the repayment of this colossal favor, if my own life was not in jeopardy. Zuriel was angry with me, and this current headache was rendering me restless.In the last weeks, his support was the thing which kept me going; otherwise, this calamity was enough to crack my back. His strong shoulders made me feel safe and treasured like never before, igniting a fire of his love in my heart.As an author, I was used to believing that love could only blossom between two willing hearts and under special circumstances. Flowers, expensive
Evelyn’s P.O.V.“Not here.”Zuriel cut me off and fed me attentively.“There are some places, including our room, which have a soundproof system installed in them. Werewolves have supernatural hearing, there is no secrecy here.”He tilted his head and spat out in the direction of the kitchen; a shadow escaped on his warning.“It must be difficult living in the Pack full of sharp ears.”This thought reminded me of a famous saying.“Even walls have ears.”And here, everyone had extra sensitive ears. My life would be in a new havoc among werewolves.For dessert, I baked a blueberry pie. Zuriel’s interest in the main course revealed his choice of salty food, just like me and my bunny. It would be great if we become a functional family in the future.We strode back to our safe space after dinner, Zuriel locked the door and sat beside me on the bed.“Now, tell me. What do you want to say? I couldn’t enjoy that delicious meal due to suspense.”I felt bad about ruining his meal, but nothing c
Zuriel’s P.O.V.Sleeping by your soulmate’s side could be therapeutic for your health, it dawned on me like the brightness of the sun peering through the glass window. It was lunchtime, and we were still in bed, Evelyn was napping peacefully in my arms.Although I was up for quite some time, her booming countenance enchanted my senses, fixing me to my spot. I couldn’t feel my right arm, but when she purred softly like a kitten and clung to my chest, it paid off.As a habit, the dream, and my family’s killer’s face were the first things I remembered right after waking up. Now it had been replaced by infinite cuteness, Heaven was benevolent for a loner like me.Speaking of last night, it was a wild experience. I was introduced to the delicate nature of a female's body; Evelyn’s skin was easily scarred by a little force. She was like a soft ball of exquisite fluff. There must be a fragile warning, as her wrists had red lines on them. Was she hurt?I caressed the redness on her skin, that
Zuriel’s P.O.V.My attention was caught by Aaron, squirming against the mighty hold of a silver net, his extended fangs and nails revealing his vampire nature. But why? How could he be attacked in a human’s house?His panicked gaze met mine, he yelled in agony.“Run, Zuriel. It's a trap.”As soon as I saw the main reason, the world around me froze for a moment. That living room disappeared from my sight, I found myself standing helplessly at the ruined venue of my eighth birthday party. There was a bitter taste in the back of my mouth that I couldn’t seem to get rid of, my heart began to hammer against my chest.That same deadly murderer was aiming his bow downwards, the grim aura swirling in the air was darkening the atmosphere. His lips were moving in a coherent speech, just like he was instructing his peers to follow the survivors that night.“Please, dad. Aaron is a nice man.”Dad?Evelyn’s voice snapped me out of the daze, she grabbed that vile man’s hand and interceded for my fr
Zuriel’s P.O.V.In an instant, I jumped from the stage and broke the silver chains from Evelyn’s body, the burning sensation realized me the reason for my reckless move. “Mate!”Zev was back in business, the first thing he noticed was the unfair treatment of our mate. Simultaneously, my aunt managed to pacify the dumbstruck crowd.“This event calls for a grand celebration in the Pack. I request you all to forget the misery of the past and arrange a three-day festival in the Pack. A separate prayer ceremony will also be the part of this festivity.”Evelyn’s tears streaked face was cutting through my heart, she clung to my chest. “Please check it again, Zuriel. My dad is innocent.”My eyes ran over my pack mates, as they broke into murmurs, their disdain was evident from their faces. Obviously, they were aghast to see that Hunter Harold’s daughter was my mate, the Luna of my Zellburry Pack.Before anyone could voice his contempt, I gestured to Max.“Escort her to the Pack hou
Evelyn's P O.V.“You are my family, Evelyn. Your problems are mine.”.“Your love has taken over my heart, Evelyn. I have never been in love before.”.“After meeting your dad, I will mark you, Luna. I cannot wait anymore.”These memories of our relationship were flashing before my eyes, laughing at me in the darkness of the storeroom. Everything was going smoothly between us, how did my fate take a three-sixty degree turn in a night?We were happy, right? Waiting anxiously to attend this family dinner to get my dad’s approval. But why it turn out to be a reunion of two sworn enemies? My dad, who was a simple forest guard before this truck driver job, how could he be a hunter, the one who was accused of killing Zuriel’s parents?Why did he never tell us about his true identity?My dad’s hunter riffle, his lessons on using it, endless lectures on wildlife security, my whole life was revolving in mind. There wasn’t a single moment when he showed hatred for animals. Instead, he always su
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
