Evelyn’s P.O.V.

“Get Dr. James on call. Now.”

A thunderous voice ordered like an eternal monarch; the world spun around me with the impact of that command. My heart threatened to break the restraints of rib cage, whereas this burning sensation in my arm was unbearable.

“Please hang in there, baby. Deep breaths. I am with you. You will be fine soon.”

Two strong arms embraced me in their stronghold. The noise in the background faded, as I looked in Zuriel’s worried eyes. Although he stayed aloof and nonchalant, the panic on his handsome face was a deadly addition.

“It’s just a tea...”

Aunt tried to explain the premises, but he sprinted towards his room at a commendable speed.

“Dr. James is on call.”

Zuriel shooed away that curious maid and locked the door.

“Put the affected skin in cold water for twenty minutes. And remove the clothes immediately, they can stick to burn.”

Before I could react, Zuriel put me in the bathtub and turned on the faucet.

“Hey, stop.”

    Zuriel’s P.O.V.When my company was about to introduce its product in the international market, an unprofessional client converted my enthusiasm to frustration.“Walter Lockwood was Evelyn’s classmate? What are the odds?”First, there was a line of possible suitors, as if her family was dying to kick her out of their house. And now this single dad, why every male was hovering around Evelyn?“At least that poor girl is ready to support your lie. Appreciate it, Zuriel.”We were discussing this serious matter on a video call. Aaron was back to praising her like his habit, his soulmate finding mission was terribly failed again.“I will not squeeze her neck to death in sleep, Aaron. She will be paid reasonable for her service.”He took a sip from the beauty’s neck in his lap and scowled.“Selling your secret can give her more money, Zuriel. Beware of Walter Lockwood. He can use her against you.”“This could be avoided if you agree to sign a deal with me.”That hypocrite refused to do busin

    Zuriel’s P.O.V.Aaron's words hammered in my head; it was so humiliating that someone attacked my wife in my office. But my main concern was the vampire transition.“Evelyn’s body is normal like a human. Will she turn into a vampire after twenty-four hours?”Aaron held her hand and slashed her wrist.“Her blood is black due to my venom. Soon, her soul will fight off the darkness and I will suck my venom back for her sanity. She should not be attacked again; her death can complete the transition.”“File a complaint in the police department, Bruce. Check the CCTV camera. Perhaps, the attacker is also an employee of this branch.”“On it!”After ordering Bruce, my heart was at ease. So, I went to see my aunt.“What’s the report. Doctor?”Our family, Dr. James, met me outside the room.“Madam Stella is in good health, but her heart has weakened lately. Perhaps, it’s because of the emotional shocks and tensions. Please try to cheer her up, she needs your love and care.”Hearing his advice, m

    Zuriel’s P.O.V.In the middle of the room, my mate was shuddering uncontrollably, her bare body was illuminated by the heavenly glow of moon light. I circled her slowly, admiring the mesmerizing view in awe. In sheer silence, the thunder of her heartbeat was audible, her fear could be scented from a mile away.“Now, you are scared like a kitten.”I laughed inwardly and leaned in.“I told you not to leave me.”My mate squeaked, as she bounced on the soft mattress of the bed. I hovered over her after throwing her there.“Now, pay for your disobedience, mate.”…“No!”Evelyn screamed in her sleep, jolting me awake.“I am here, relax.”She was squirming in my hold, something bad was haunting her in her dreams.“It hurts.”She whimpered continuously, crying like a child. I had to hold her for a while, then she calmed down.“Evelyn’s temperature is back to normal. I think she is out of danger.”I sent this message to Aaron’s number and sat on my beloved chair.“This dream, again?”I saw thi

    Evelyn’s P.O.V.Custody papers? Who in this world would need a legal document for his own kid? And when the child was bore by legal wife? First Carla spent money to buy a virgin and now her mother was demanding a lawsuit. This family was a bunch of cracks together and there was no doubt about it.Regardless of my restlessness, Zuriel was calm like before a storm. He sat on the couch and started playing a game on his cell phone.“Why did you agree with your aunt? Her request is insulting to your child and future wife. Trust is the basic foundation of every relationship, not everyone is a gold digger...”Like Carla.I chewed my provoking words and took a deep breath to calm my agitation. Unfazed by my concerns, Zuriel was buried in his phone, as if he was a live participant in that stupid racing game.“I apologize for interfering in your personal matter. As an outsider, I just voiced my thoughts. It’s ok if you don’t want to answer.”His “no screen” rule wasn’t more than a tomfoolery for

She will come back after a week.”“Superb!”My free day ended just at the beginning, perhaps I should go to work. I was a fool to think they would be waiting to see me....“Are you free?”Walter’s call came as a savior, his pitiful voice amused me.“Come to the Queen’s Palace Mall. I need your help.”I hailed a cab to the desired shopping mall, his suspicious presence there intrigued me.Well, within fifteen minutes, I got all the answers to my queries. Covered in a cloak of shopping bags, Walter’s face was difficult to find out. An energetic little girl was jumping nonstop.“Daddy, I like this shop. Let’s buy some sweets.”“Where’s her nanny?”I grabbed Bex’s hand and shared his load.“Jenna (nanny) is si

The excitement to spend quality time together evaporated in thin air.“So, that Walter is more important than me.”There were so many plans in my mind to tear that competition apart, this would be my first action in the morning. Thinking about that ruffian, I reached the racing arena huffing in anger.But my eyes were searching for that sneaky bastard, who used stealth methods to evade my privacy. I found Aron in his usual spot, laughing in the circle of beauties.“You!”Before I could pounce at him, he crushed me in a warm hug.“You have brought so much happiness to my life. I am so proud of you, Zuriel.”His cheerful voice was like a fresh morning breeze, brightening the atmosphere with its harmony. He gave me a helmet and grabbed my arm.“Excellence is not a skill, it's your attitude, Zuriel. Let's win this race, too.”“I need some answers.”I gasped his collar and dragge

This was the result of my useless sympathy for Madam Stella, her screams for help melted my heart.“You are not Madam Ruth Pfau. Control your emotions before they ruin you.”I was literally plastered to the car’s door despite separate seats. Honestly speaking, how long it could take for a man like him to pounce on me.“Zuriel is a nice man. I have known him since our college days.”President Aaron kept his face straight; his green eyes were searching for something in space.“He has some personal problems; your stay is in his other house is safe.”“I can live at my home. There wasn’t any need of it.”He turned his head; his grave expressions alarmed me.“Being a wife of President Zuriel Scott is a challenging task.

The hospital was a battleground of emotions, I had to be extra careful.“Carla needs the care and love of a sincere partner. Henry is also your brother's son, just like me. He will stay loyal to Carla.”My feeble attempts to convince them went straight to the Hell, aunt refused my good will.“I cannot send my wolf-less daughter to a Pack full of snarling wolves. The killer of the Scott’s family is wondering freely, my Carla is defenseless against those hunters.”Although Carla was perfectly safe in my protection, my aunt's overcautious heart was supplying her with baseless threats. Eventually, Henry took charge of the conversation and knelt on the ground.“I have spent my entire life in the army of the Zellburry Pack, there wasn’t a single attack reported in twenty years.

    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

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
