Zuriel’s P.O.V.“What?”It took me a moment to process Henry’s words, as Zev was howling loudly, the pain ripping out of my heart was just a trailer of the real deal.Judging from Evelyn’s horrified reaction, it was definitely bad news, as she canceled her plan of rejection and pounced at Henry.“Why is my Eddie in hospital?”Thousands of volts of electric current jolted me awake from the melodrama of my failed relationship, my son had nothing to do with my shortcomings.I lowered my head before Alpha Xynathius formally and ordered in Alpha tone.“Go back with the car, Henry. I’ll go to the pack’s hospital in my wolf form. It’ll consume less time.”Henry readily agreed with me and bowed his head. Evelyn looked at her father, her teary voice was trembling with fear.“I got to go, dad.”She didn’t wait for Hunter Harold’s response, flashed by my side and held my hand, my hand which was busy unbuttoning my shirt.“Close your eyes!”Her stern voice left no room for argument, Zev glued my
Evelyn’s P.O.V.“If a mother could have one superpower, she would keep the right to write about her kid’s fate.”Lying in the hospital bed, my bunny was motionless, seeing his hyperactive body caged in white bandages broke my heart. The needles inserted in his veins, beeping monitors, oxygen mask, my bunny wasn’t supposed to be here, he was just a child.Why was fate so cruel towards him? His innocent pale face was adorned with gloominess, I couldn’t even imagine if anything happened to him.The doctors only allowed one person at a time to see him, so I came in first to meet my bunny. Sitting by his side, the words of the head doctor were echoing in my mind. “Although Eddie’s Alpha wolf is strong, he is a child. He has consumed his powers to heal his human part, resulting in severe damage to his own body.We have to heal him carefully, Alpha. His wolf’s survival is essential for Alpha Eddie’s life.”I grasped my Eddie’s small hand and kissed its back. My world was shaken by the doct
Evelyn’s P.O.V.As expected, Max was standing outside that wretched room, he instantly knelt on the ground in front of me.“It’s my negligence, Luna. Please punish me!”His swollen red eyes were hinting towards his constant crying, I brushed off his foolishness and asked him to rise. “How’s Ivy, Max? Why hasn't she recovered yet?”My wee brain wasn’t ready to face the absoluteness, Max rose from the ground and sniffled.“Ivy has a head injury, Luna. Doctors have given her medicines, the next twenty-four hours are critical.”Max’s shaky voice had a tinge of yearning to see his mate again, and this was also my heart’s wish. Ivy was the only person, who was unfazed by my identity and didn’t leave me alone in my tough time. She was literally the reason I survived in the Werewolf world, her well-being was significant than my own. However, out of the blue, my Aunt Flora’s materialized out of thin air and whispered in my ear.“Ask him to prepare for the funeral, leader Evelyn. His mate wil
Evelyn’s P.O.V.“Call her Luna, dear!”A soft voice corrected that exhilarated figure, my heart danced in my rib cage to see my best friend Maeve there.“How did you get here, Maeve? And Bruce? How?”In my excitement, I was finding it challenging to speak my mind, their sudden presence pleasantly surprised me.Maeve’s smile was a true example of the joys of the spring, she tilted her neck and lowered her shirt a bit.“I have married Bruce, Luna. We are mates now.”What?Could six months of fail dating end up in a marriage? This was indeed the biggest setback in dating history. Maeve had an ideal of someone handsome and filthy rich, how did she agree to marry an ordinary worker like Bruce?But looking at them now, their happiness vanished all ifs and buts. I congratulated my best friend with an open heart.“I am so happy for you, Maeve. When did you tame this wild wolf?”After his mate’s death, a werewolf could go feral or lose his mind. Bruce did a commendable job and collected himsel
Zuriel’s P.O.V.The arrest of elders was a decision strongly opposed by my aunt; she dreaded the public’s reaction to this. But today’s meeting eased my worries, as the members of Zellburry pack had only one thing on their minds: no mercy for Alpha Zackary’s killer.It was true that perhaps some of them were innocent, but I couldn’t show any flexibility. This blame had practically ruined my life, and that criminal was still free after committing such a horrendous crime. No, I couldn’t let that happen.The mere thought of that murderer being alive set me on fire, he must be laughing at my stupidity for sure. Although they were my pack members who backstabbed us, the embarrassment of my enemy’s mockery was a slap on my face.Zev was sharpening his claws for more killing; his anger was touching the roof.“You never disciplined your subjects well. They have forgotten what an Alpha can do. Set me free, I’ll interrogate them.”I had made this mistake before; it would be foolish to allow my
Zuriel's P.O.V.“A hunter?”The first thing that flashed in my mind was about hunter Harold, he must have come to take his daughter back.“Let him in with respect. I’ll see him in Alpha’s office.”I quickly slipped into my clothes and drove towards my office building, everyone was staring at me so weirdly that my heart thumped for an unforeseen calamity.“Did he bring his rifle to shoot me this time?”After all, his daughter was clearly not a fan of being mated with me. Dwindling between fears and extreme fears, I reached my office, the scene similar to Alpha Xynathius’s Court snatched the ground from my feet. “It’s such a pleasant surprise, Walter! When did you come?”My Luna Evelyn was already there before me, hugging that six feet of nuisance, right before my eyes.“Kill him!”Zev’s acrimony was justified, having mercy for our competition was out of the question. Walter kept his gaze fixedon Evelyn, like I wasn’t standing in the room, and spoke affectionately“I informed you as so
Evelyn’s P.O.V. Zuriel’s official trip was a gust of fresh air in this challenging atmosphere, he was really getting on my nerves lately. “Why does he think so highly of himself? He is handsome, good for him. Couldn’t he get it that I am not interested in him?” They way he was flexing his muscluar body was a headache, igniting forbidden fire in my body. what was I still reacting to his appearance? Oh yes! I hadn't rejected him yet! Screw you, mate-bond!Anyway, our friend’s re-union set everything back on the track. We were happy to spend some quality time together. Gamma Jason efficiently provided us with records of the Elders. Walter and I studied those files in the Gamma’s office. Mr. Allen was at the top of our suspect’s list. As Gamma was responsible for the security service here, then Mr. Allen must be aware of the true story of their brother’s death. Talking about that, “Is Gamma Jason related to him?” We went to the dungeon in the suburbs of the city, the torture t
Zuriel’s P.O.V.I was welcomed back on my return by breaking news, which was circulating in the pack link.“Luna Evelyn is more dangerous than our Alpha.”What just happened in my twenty-four hour’s absence? Why didn’t Henry or Jason report me? Pondering over possible scenarios, I reached the Pack house, where a mini court was in the middle of a serious hearing. My pack mates parted away from me, I gaped at the sight in front of my eyes.“If you did nothing wrong, then why did Ivy start having contractions? She was perfectly alright after her medical check-up.”The doctors panel from my pack’s hospital was standing at a side, Max, and his mother were kneeling on the ground. My first impression was a negligence from Max, but his mother’s quivering voice proved me wrong.Mrs. Fernandez bared her neck in submission and cried piteously.“Ivy is like my own daughter, Luna. How can a mother harm her pup’s child?Max is my only son, Luna. I have raised him by sacrificing my life.You are al
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
