Evelyn’s P.O.V.

“Who are you?”

I stuttered; my voice was barely above a whisper. The air turned frigid around me; an eerie silence hung in the room after Zuriel’s sudden assault.

Was it an attack?

No, his face had something fur like on it, his fingers also resembled an animal’s claw.

Who was he? Was there someone else in the room with us?

Zuriel turned and walked towards me slowly, I shrank back into my bed.

“Stay away!”

He took a deep breath and sat on the couch silently. A dread, slow and cruel, crept in my spine, making every second feel like an eternity. My arms were red because of his steel grip, a wave of pain ran through my body with the slightest touch.

“Don’t be scared, Evelyn. I will never hurt you.”

“Oh, really.”

Like he didn't attack me a moment ago.

“I know you have countless questions and trust me; I will answer each of them. But please clear your mind and listen to me carefully. This will change the ideology of your life.”

“Get to the point.”

    Evelyn’s P.O.V.That unending path to the entrance gate led me to the infinite darkness, I switched on the torchlight of my mobile and followed the road.“Screw you, Aaron. Why didn’t you take the straight road to the Castle?”Walking in circles numbed legs, my feet started aching badly. I picked up a stone from the ground and marked the trees, but none of them was repeated to prove my theory.“To the left!”Eventually, I found myself on the same crossroad from where Aaron instructed his driver.“I have done it.”Just five more minutes and I would be out of this dead canyon. The lights of the iron gates could be seen from afar, the hopes of the future fueled my enthusiasm. The guard on the side of the gate was sleeping on his chair, I stepped forward cautiously to search for the key in his pocket.“I forgot to tell you that the werewolves are possessive of their mates. Not to mention Alphas, who experience every emotion ten folds.Don’t touch him, I can’t guarantee that he will see to

    Evelyn’s P.O.V.Walter offered to send his driver for me, but I refused his kindness. How was I supposed to explain my stay in this illegal Castle? More precisely, it would be wrong to reveal information about Zuriel’s private property to his business partner.Anyhow, I took a shower and called Maeve, informing her about my plan.“What do you mean by Walter is sending a driver? Bruce is coming pick me up for the party.”Maeve screamed hysterically; her secret affair caught me off guard.“You and Bruce? When did this happen?”After Bruce’s divorce, he was single. However, what did Maeve see in him, it was the main question.“Tell me Maeve, who’s more important? Me or Bruce?”My emotional black mailing got its desired results, she cancelled her arrangement with Bruce immediately. As stars were aligning in my favor, I ate lunch in the dining hall, Ivy was also happy at the end of my hunger strike.“Alpha was so worried about you. Max just reported him about your routine.”My eyes wandere

    Evelyn’s P.O.V.I gaped as his thick fingers trailed from my arm to my bare leg and grabbed it before I could kick his balls.“You are feisty. I like it.”Zuriel blocked my legs with his long one and touched my neck with his free hand.“This is the place where I'll mark you.”The dreaminess in his voice hinted that this was something intimate. Zuriel's eyes clouded for a moment, a tinge of unease rose in my chest. He didn’t give me a chance to ask about it and dipped his head in the crook of my neck.“Hey, no.”My head spun with his sudden assault. This "no" was just a reflux; otherwise, the softness of his lips on my skin was playing with the strings of my heart. The way he kissed my neck was tempting, I literally melted in the heat of his desire. Still, I squirmed against his hold, there were some restraints a lady should use in such situations.My heart sank when he started sucking and nibbling in the same spot, the sharpness of his teeth made me gasp.

    Evelyn’s P.O.V.Waking up to the Heavenly Aroma of the coffee could be my fate, I had never imagined it in my wildest dreams. The scent of freshly grounded coffee invaded the nostrils, sending waves after waves of intoxication. I stretched my arms and yawned, this morning alarm was sweeter than anything else.“Good morning.”Zuriel was sitting on the bed beside me, the breakfast tray in his hands was perfuming the surroundings air.“Morning.”As my day was officially started by the kick of caffeine's scent, I brushed my teeth and joined him on the couch.“It’s a good idea that you asked servants to serve breakfast in the room. Walking with a hungry stomach is exhausting for me.”Zuriel placed another sandwich on my plate and smiled.“I didn’t consider that a human will live in this villa. I can give you a ride wherever you want to go.”The glint of naughtiness in his eyes said more than his words, so I changed the topic.“Ivy is such a great cook. She changed her recipe for my taste.”

    Evelyn’s P.O.V.At lunch, Walter and Maeve were squabbling non stop, Bruce's face was an epitome of burning jealousy. I sighed at this melodrama and looked for Zuriel, who was attending a phone call not far away."What's so special about this client?"I felt an unfamiliar fire in my chest, spreading in my body. Then a realization hit me hard.I was also getting jealous over a phone call!Suddenly, Walter changed the flow of conversation, and asked me."What about a dinner tonight, Eve? Bex was also asking about you."Meave's alarm about Walter's intentions flashed across my mind. I was about to refuse politely when a gruff voice sounded beside me."Try somewhere else. This girl's taken!"Zuriel’s arm snaked around my waist; he pulled me closer.“This carnival is arranged for my girlfriend. Enjoy yourselves."Walter raised his brow, there was a momentary silence following it. Zuriel grabbed my arm and took me to another ride, but I was done with it.“Let’s go and visit Martha. She didn’

    Evelyn’s P O.V.Next morning, Zuriel went to work without waking me up, my cellphone rang at 11:00 am to force me out of my peaceful sleep. As my mom came back home, so next thing I called my Eddie for details.“When will we live together, mom? I miss you.”My bunny’s innocent plea cut through my heart; this separation was heartrending for both of us.“Mommy is trying, my son. I will call you soon.”I pacified him with countless excuses and disconnected the call, tears ran down my eyes as I closed them. By placing a pillow on my face, I cried my heart out. Nature had blessed me with the most beautiful gift in the world, it was my inadequacy that I couldn't cherish it well.This failure alone was the proof that I was the unluckiest woman of the century. My crying episode ended by a knock on the door, Ivy was standing on the other side.“Are you up, Luna?”“Yes. Bring the breakfast.”I unlocked the door before going to the bathroom, so the table was set on my return.“You are looking go

    Zuriel's P.O.V.My one-day leave piled up heaps of files on my desk, I even missed lunch and meeting with a client for it. Bruce came into my office with his cellphone, reminding me of my own mobile.“Shoot!”There were five missed calls from aunt, she tried to contact me through Bruce’s number.“Carla and Henry have left for their honeymoon. I was waiting for you, Zuriel. When will you come home?”As I was on a business trip according to her, this was the best excuse to stall some more time.“You must have seen the record sale of our new product, aunt. I am currently dealing with overseas clients. Please understand.”My reply made her happy, she blessed me.“You are so hardworking, my son. I will go to the temple for a special prayer ceremony. Both of my kids are doing great in their lives, the Moon Goddess is gracious towards our family.”Aunt’s temple trip would easily take two or three days, I readily agreed to her plan.“Sure, Aunt.”I was also excited to thank the Moon Goddess.

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.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

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.

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

She was tied to a chair with the help of ropes.The tears splashing from her eyes were the rivers of despair.
