Zuriel’s P.O.V. “Let’s go and see mate!” I was about to lay down on the bed to stretch my muscles when Zev stated his demand. Without any response, I blocked him, my mind was already a practice ground for contradicting ideas. The softness of the mattress relaxed my nerves, that whole night’s investigation flashed across my eyes. Even though I tortured him, Harold was as fresh as a daisy, his endurance level flabbergasted me. Beta Henry and Gamma Jason were beating him for three days, but he was dauntless, there was nothing working against him. He was safe from silver, wolfs-bane, nightshade, and even medical science to some extent. Even after my threatening, he dared to offer a proposal. “Reject my daughter and let her go. I will give you the exact location of the Hunter’s Pack.” Phew! Like I was an idiot to lose my only leverage against him. Although, that Hunter was as tough as stone, his only weakness was his family. I had lost two members just because of Aaron’s interferenc
Evelyn’s P.O.V. I was feeling lightheaded after waking up, but Ivy and Max’s nonstop yelling snapped me out of the daze. Their worry and tears warmed my heart, I thanked them. “I can’t express my gratitude for your kind support. You guys really helped me in understanding the Werewolf culture.” Although Max was adamant to report my temporary unconsciousness to Zuriel, I stopped him. “There’s no need to disturb your Alpha for trivial matters, Max. He has a lot on his plate.” Like, a lot! Last night’s adventure clarified his intentions for me, revealing his future planning for his Pack. It was clear as the full moon on the sky that Zuriel had ended our relationship. I was merely a weakness of his enemy which he was keeping to use for his benefit. I stood in the shower for one long hour, remembering his hatred filled words for me. Was our relationship nothing for him? The promises, the mate-bond, even our signed marriage certificate lost its importance because I was born in my dad’s
Evelyn’s P.O.V.Although there were rumors revolving among servants that Zuriel was personally checking she-wolves for his Luna position, Ivy denied them, as if she was a spokesperson of Zuriel.“Alpha is busy with Pack matters, omegas are gossiping for nothing.”As I wasn’t convinced a bit, she proposed another proof to support her notion.“You will feel if Alpha have physical relationship with any other woman. It’s nature’s rule, Luna. Please don’t worry.”Our morning conversation was soon turned into reality, as Beta Lady Carla gathered all the maid servants in the Pack hall. “The Pack elders are throwing a welcome party for Alpha Zuriel. From snacks to dinner, everything will be prepared in the Pack house. So, no negligence; otherwise, you will end up in the dungeon.”A wave of panic ran through the audience, omegas were glancing at each other at this new set of rules. Even in the crowd, Carla spotted me and sneered while flexing her diamond bracelet.“Tonight, Alpha will
Evelyn’s P.O.V.“Don’t mind us, wuss. We will not bite you like our Alpha.”One sudden kick on my back flattened me on the floor, and before I could get up, a heavy heel fixed my body to the spot.“What’s the rush? No one is waiting for you, human.”The brown-haired man, who seemed to be their superior, crouched down beside me and grabbed my hair, forcing me to look at him. “It’s just you, and us are in this pack house. What should we do with you, doormat?”He showed my face to his friends, whose eyes were filled with a sinister glint.“Do you think this little mouth can take you, Raymond? Or will we have to wait for our turns?”My body recoiled in horror as the gravity of the situation sank in, they were not there just to bully me. With all my might, I wriggled to break free, but my effort was instantly rewarded by a loud slap on my face. My lips bled; I bit them to brace the sting. That vile man wasn’t satisfied by his slap, he yanked me up by pulling my hair.“You worthle
Evelyn’s P.O.V.“Mine!”Standing frozen under his spell, I heard Zuriel’s seductive whisper, undertone with inhumane growl. He left my lips and moved towards my ears, kissing gently on its way. My whole existence shuddered in pleasure as he but my earlobe, sucking it to ignite fire inside me.I gasped, as I felt his burning shaft against my skin, his free hand was moving towards the wetness pooling between my legs.“No!”This should be stopped. As a last resort, my conscious screamed to wake me up. I pushed him backward in a snap to widen the distance between us.“Why?”Zuriel’s wild eyes were still grazing me, I wondered if he even blinked. He stepped forward to kiss me again, but this time, I placed my hand in his broad chest. “N-No!”Amidst my ragged breathing, this one word came out of my mouth, trying its best to register my refusal. Zuriel held my hand and caressed hid skin with it, his frantic heartbeat was similar to mine.“Why not, Evelyn? You clearly want me as mu
Zuriel’s P.O.V.“I don’t want to go!”Just imagine that you are cuffed in a tight hold, unable to move your body. But your mind repeatedly ordering you to move, and you feel helpless to act upon this simple command. The height of powerlessness you feel must be beyond imagination.That was the case with me in the morning, when my wolf tried his best to oppose me. “I am not done. I would like to spend more time with my mate.”Zev was resolute, not leaving Evelyn’s side at any cost. I literally had to beg for his cooperation. “It’s just two days trip, Zev. We can’t break our promise with Alpha Alexander.”On the way to the Moon Howlers Pack, the scenes of the last night were flashing across my mind. Zev was still grumpy. “Sunday will come again next week, but this time of our mating will never come back. You are prioritizing work over mate.”That long confrontation and then unexpected marking were already bothering me, now Zev untimely broadcast only added to my anxiety. I bl
Zuriel’s P.O.V.“Dear pal, Alex. I hope that this letter will find you in my life, as my brother is currently on the mission to end it. My Spencer, my little wolf, has turned his back on me, joining his hands with Stella’s husband to take over my Alpha position.I am writing you this letter to inform you about my decision to hand over my Zellburry Pack. This status and business are nothing in front of my family bonds, I would prefer to die before hurting my siblings. I will announce Spencer’s accession on Zuriel’s 8th birthday. Please support him like you did in my reign.Warm regards: Zack”This, this wasn’t just a letter, it was a nuclear explosion of shocking facts, my extraordinary mind found it hard to process this set of information. Throughout my life, my aunt told me that Scott’s family was a sign of unity, they were a team as siblings. But my dad’s handwritten letter was proving her wrong, how could she lie to me? Why? Her brothers were dead, then what was the u
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.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
