After breakfast, Eva tried to elude Gabriel's meeting. She felt incredibly nervous when getting close to him, especially when Cody started to get close to Gabriel."Mommy, can I ask something?" Cody startled Eva's reverie. Emilia was smiling towards Eva's anxiety. She already knew about Gabriel and Cody's breakfast experiment, which ran smoothly."Yes, sweetheart?""Why does the man want me to call him Daddy? Is he my dad?""Who do you mean?" Eva pretended to ask. Her heart was thumping, and it was so hard to hear Gabriel's request to Cody. She knew that it would happen, but she didn't mean it too soon."Hhm, he is the Alpha." Eva was stunned, then slightly put an odd chuckle."Uhm, What alpha?""He's a big man, Mommy." Eva nodded. Emilia was getting closer to speaking to Eva. She didn't want her best friend to keep stumbling on the same hard road with the same guy all the time."Eve, can we talk?" she murmured while signing Eva to move to the corner of the room. Eva followed Emilia w
A maid peeked and tried to eavesdrop on Eva and Gabriel's disputes in the dining room. Moreover, Eva and Gabriel obviously argue. The maid put more of her interest to pick more information. Hence, she couldn't clearly hear that Eva wanted to take Cody away and wouldn't allow Gabriel to be close to his son. The maid couldn't hear the whole talk, so she didn't know if Gabriel had admitted that Cody was his biological son."I'm not allowing you to get near Cody. From now on, don't take him anywhere or talk to him!" Eva strictly forbade Gabriel. Gabriel glared in disbelief. He hadn't even said any reason at all, and Eva had misunderstood him."Wait a minute! What do you mean by talking like this?" Gabriel shouted and glared. Eva doesn't like it any more. This time, he was sure that Gabriel would only be dangerous for Cody. Eva's hand swiftly grabbed Cody's hand and pulled him until he stood up from his chair. Cody has yet to speak; he's even more perplexed."I'm goi
"Alpha, what happened?" Bryan asked Gabriel, who was banging on the dining room door. Gabriel took a deep sigh and then shook his head."Eva is sulking and misunderstands me. She thought I was going to take Cody away from her!" Gabriel answered, then banged again to persuade Eva. "Baby, open the door! Listen to me first!"Bryan frowned as he heard something else from inside. He grabbed Gabriel's arm and stopped him from banging on the door."Alpha, I think your Luna is going to escape from the window!" Bryan half yelled, then ran out. Gabriel also fled from the side door.Meanwhile, Eva managed to open the window and then asked Cody to climb through it."Come on, Baby! We have to get out of here!" Eva helped Cody climb onto the window so he could jump out. Cody didn't understand his mother's act, yet he obeyed her. When he reached the edge of the window, Cody had to jump slightly and land on the grass. After she saw him safely on the ground, Eva cl
A maid came into Gabriel's room, bringing dinner for Eva. Now Gabriel punished Eva by locking her in his bedroom for her actions. Eva didn't want to cry. She didn't want to allow Gabriel to do whatever he wanted to torture her."This is your dinner, Miss," said the waiter who served Eva's meal. Eva only glanced briefly, then lowered her head gloomily. She only sat there, not wanting to say anything.The maid approached Eva slowly, trying to find an opportunity to speak."Miss, do you need anything else?" The main spoke slowly. Eva turned her head and stared at her expressionlessly. She wanted to understand what the maid meant. The maid came back closer and smiled."I know you want to get out of here; I can help you." The maid whispered again. Eva's eyes widened suddenly. She looked left and right as if making sure no one heard."What did you say?" Eva also muttered. The maid nodded reassuringly."I don't want you to be the next prey of Gabriel Xander's cruelty. I feel sorry for you, M
Gabriel held a small meeting with Cheyne and Ethan to discuss some issues on their project. After Xander Enterprise succeeded in seizing the entire Oddysey project from SK Corporation, Gabriel had to finalize the job well. If not, then the company's reputation will be very severely affected."We will complete this work before the end of the year. If we can hunt for time, Anderes will be very satisfied, and we can control this city effortlessly," said Cheyne, describing to his Alpha. Gabriel nodded in understanding. He was analyzing some charts and documents Eva had prepared during her Paris work. Therefore, Gabriel still requires Eva's assistance to become his secretary."I have a problem. I locked Eva in my room because she wanted to run away," Gabriel admitted suddenly. Cheyne and Ethan both turned and knitted their eyebrows in confusion."What happened? Are you guys fighting again?" Ethan asked back."How are you still bickering with each other? You two want to get married." Cheyne
The maid who took Eva out of Gabriel's mansion drove her to a restaurant. Eva frowned, not comprehending the situation. She turned quickly to the maid."You should get to the restaurant. Someone wants to see you," said the maid at the car's door. It was parked on the side of the street in front of the restaurant. Cody looked alternately at his mother and the maid who had brought them."What? But you said earlier you would take us to the airport." Eva raised her tone. Her heart was beating fast. Hence, she didn't let go of Cody at all."Forgive me. I was carrying out orders." The main coldly replied. She didn't care and quickly got to the car, leaving Eva confused. Eva instantly widened her eyes in disbelief."What? Hey, wait!" Eva was shocked and wanted to chase after the car. She let go of Cody's hand and ran after the car."Wait, don't leave me! Wait!" Eva shouted, but it was of no use. She was on the side of the road in front of a restaurant. Ev
"How are you, Eva? Long time we don't see each other." Jasper started their talk after the dessert was served on the table. Cody was overjoyed to eat a delicious ice cream cake. He enjoyed it with great happiness and did not know that his mother was having difficulties because she was dealing with Jasper Kent."I'm fine, Jasper," Eva replied expressionlessly. She was worried that Jasper would hurt her and Cody now. Jasper still gazed at Eva without blinking. He glanced at Cody for a second and still didn't smile."Why are you doing this?" Jasper spoke with a low grit in his tone."What do you mean?" Eva asked back, even though she could already feel what Jasper meant."Why did you deceive me?" Eva gasped at the words Jasper said. Her heart was beating faster, and she was getting more nervous. Eva tried to calm down to think better. She must feel the way out soon."I didn't deceive you." Jasper turned his head the other way with a snort. Eva felt increasingly uncomfortable. Jasper shou
Cheyne gathered all maids and gardeners to question them about Eva. He was sure someone had backed her up to run away from the house secretly. Hence, no one admitted to seeing Eva leave the house. When Cheyne counted back all the working maids, he was missing someone."Where's Joyce?" Cheyne questioned one of the female maids coldly. The maid was scared to face cold, so Cheyne interrogated her. Her co-worker Joyce asked her to clean up the remaining dinner plates despite her responsibility to look after Cody."I'm sorry, sir. I don't know where she is," answered the maid fearfully."Aren't you the one who's supposed to be looking after Cody?" This time, it was Bryan who questioned. The maid grew paler with fear and trembling. She nodded. Her eyes almost shed tears."I was looking after Young Master Cody, but Joyce asked me to go to the kitchen to clean up the rest of the dinner plates. I don't know what happened after that." The maid shakily confessed to Cheyne and Bryan.Cheyne glare
Cheyne was shoved far away until he returned to human form, and Jasper saw it. He also transformed into a human after crashing a building's wall and causing its destruction. If Cheyne were human, he would be dead. However, Jasper, panting in pain, didn't want to give up. He woke up limping. Jasper saw Cheyne, who still couldn't wake up."Fuck!" Jasper cursed. His gun fell off somewhere. But he could still beat Cheyne.Cheyne muttered grumpily at the god, "Oh, Moon Goddess, my body hurts." He gasped to catch his breath before turning his head and seeing Jasper heading towards him. Jasper grabbed Cheyne, beating him badly."I'll kill you, Rouge! You fucking mudblood!" Jasper cursed at Cheyne, then hit him in the face. Cheyne shouted, then pushed Jasper with his remaining power. He didn't want to give up on someone who had denigrated his blood."Bastard, I'm not a mudblood!" Cheyne screamed angrily and then tried to get up. His face was bruised and bleeding, but Cheyne wouldn't give up.
Eva instantly screamed in panic when she realized she was outside. The cold wind blew Eva's hair, making her terrified. It was even more dangerous when she screamed and the rope broke."Shit!" Gabriel cursed when Jasper shot the rope. It was lifting Eva. His hand quickly caught one of the ropes, so Eva didn't have time to fall. Eva's situation has now reversed, with her face pointing downwards towards the ground. Also, Eva could not move due to her bondage all over the blanket on her body. Gabriel wrapped her like a mummy."Ah, help me!" Eva screamed fearly.Jasper was so mad now. He attempted to keep firing his bullets at Gabriel to kill him. Cheyne quickly responded by running out of the rooftop door. Bryan and two Levantines helped him pull Eva up quickly."Pull her up! quickly!" Bryan screamed and used all his strength to pull Eva with the remaining yarn. Gabriel was still holding Eva's rope with one hand. He couldn't return Jasper's shot. Now, he was targeting him. Gabriel tried
As a professional climber, Bryan did his job very well with rope. He climbed down from one of the balconies to reach his target. Gabriel cuts the glass of a big window to take Eva through it. Cheyne and his Levantine team worked together to complete the mission."He sedated her," Gabriel murmured to Bryan from the window. Bryan nodded understandingly. He hung on to the rope, then gave the man above him a code. To get through it, Gabriel pulled Bryan's hand from the window."We must protect her. "Let's roll her in the blanket," Gabriel said to Bryan."Yes, Alpha. I'll take the rope then." Bryan retrieved a roll of rope from his backpack. He prepared everything to send the precious package to a safer place."Hurry!" Gabriel hissed at Bryan to roll the rope all over Eva's body. He has put on a thick blanket to protect her from the glass and wind. Both of them used earbuds to communicate during the mission. Cheyne was in charge of the mission and communicated his progress to Gabriel to en
Everest Stone walked past some guards and smiled at them. He walked in after one of the lambdas opened the door for him. The luxury apartment belongs to Jasper Kent. As Beta, Everest still has access to it. Only this time, he didn't enter through the private elevator but through the front door.“Beta, have you arrived? Alpha is calling you," said one of the Gammas. Everest nodded and then followed him into one of the rooms.Jasper Kent was neat in a black tuxedo with a bodyguard helping him. He turned to the door as Everest entered."You come?" Jasper still sounded cynical at Everest's arrival. They had not spoken for days before. Everest approached slowly with a calmer expression.“Alpha, I came to explain everything that happened to you. What you hear is not the truth. Gabriel Xander has tricked you," said Everest politely. Jasper then gave his guards a code to leave them. He then approached and stood in front of Everest.“How can I trust you again, Everest?” Jasper stood arrogantly
"You're setting me up, Rouge!" Everest angrily blamed Cheyne by pointing a gun at him. Cheyne chuckled derisively. His gaze was fixed on Everest, unblinking. He hated it when someone like Everest called him a Rouge. He felt offended. Although Cheyne was a Rouge before, he is now as honorable as the other purebloods in their pack."I don't care what you think. I'm just trying to help you. If I reject it, I'll just tell Jasper Kent about you and your movements. He will soon come to kill you disgracefully. How about it?" Cheyne replied fiercely, yet he was still smiling. Everest doesn't seem calm at all. He was aware of Jasper Kent's superiority. The insurrectionary movement would only have achieved results if it had sought more excellent assistance. Even his father couldn't help.Everest lowered his gun, but he was still standing before Cheyne. He must be able to think of appropriate advantages that he can exploit."Tell me what you want." Cheyne nodded, smiled, and snorted softly, then
Eva frowned when she realized the car that had picked her up had stopped. Eva glanced around, unable to recognize the location. Jasper, who was the driver, then turned around and smiled. Eva was shocked to see that Jasper was driving the car.“How could you?” Eva's words choked. She didn't think that Jasper could kidnap her again.“Come on down. We have to talk," said Jasper, still calm. He smiled but looked threatening. Eva still hasn't moved. Jasper turned around again and asked Eva to obey.“Don't make me say it twice,” Jasper warned her. Eva glanced at the unlocked door next to her. This was her chance to escape. Without thinking, Eva opened it quickly and was about to run. However, someone promptly stood before her, bumping her into the floor."Ahk!" Eva yelled in pain. Jasper came out casually, bent slightly and pulled Eva's arm quite hard. He dragged Eva with him into an elevator."Ahk, let me go!" Eva tried to fight back by pushing Jasper's arm but to no avail. Jasper's grip w
"I've asked someone to drive you home, Miss Alexander. You can go home early to rest," said Ethan, kindly smiling. Eva also smiled and nodded."What about Mr. Xander?" Eva is still curious about Gabriel. Ethan raised the corners of his lips, then shook his head slightly."Let me talk to him. I think he's gone into his room."Eva took a deeper breath and nodded. He walked out of the CEO's room. Eva prepared to go home after getting permission from Ethan. He passed through the corridor to the president's director's office and stopped to stare at it. She thought for a moment before she continued her way to the elevator.In his room, Ethan confirmed that the Zetas would take Eva back home. Eva had gone down to the lobby and walked alone. The Zeta was supposed to escort Eva. Unfortunately, he didn't notice her exiting the main door. He was talking to Ethan, who was giving instructions."Yes, Mr. Stevenson. I'm waiting for Miss Alexander in the lobby."A car then stopped in front of Eva, wh
"Is it true that you have tied yourself to Jasper Kent?" Gabriel asked, holding back the irritation inside. Eva was still catching her breath. She was shocked after Gabriel squeezed her wrist. Hence, hearing the question drove her upset. She straightened her back with her eyes fixed intently at Gabriel. Eva seemed disappointed by his question.“I never wanted any of this. I hate you and Jasper. You're all the same. You both hurt me.” Eva suddenly shouted at Gabriel. Gabriel was shocked to see Eva's bold behavior toward him. Eva appeared to be at the height of her anger over the unfolding situation. She even shed tears as she yelled at Gabriel.“So you hate me? You are a liar, Eva!” Gabriel replied with a growl. Cheyne let out a long sigh of aggravation. Gabriel is too upset and jealous to respond to Eva's distressed feelings. He cornered Eva like the wrong person.“I don't want to see you again. Leave me alone!” Eva yelled back to Gabriel to get out of the CEO's room. Ethan tried to i
Gabriel chuckled sarcastically and shook his head in disbelief at the lie that Jasper was telling him now. Meanwhile, Eva was stunned and didn't understand. She gasped faster at Jasper's confession."What other lies are you telling, Kent? Aren't you deterred?" Gabriel mocked plainly. Jasper instead responded by laughing loudly. He seemed to be taunting Gabriel with his posture. His hands were on his hips, and Jasper continued to laugh.Cheyne and Ethan even looked tense at Jasper, who was acting absurdly. They glanced at each other and then looked back at Jasper. This time, Cheye prepared to drag Jasper out of the room."She didn't tell you, did she? I've decided I'm going to imprint her." Jasper spoke again. He mocked Gabriel. His mark on his Luna would soon gone. Even if she lived with him, Jasper was sure Eva would have rejected Gabriel.Meanwhile, Gabriel started to look anxious. He turned to Eva, who shook her head slightly, rejecting everything Jasper had said. However, Jasper w
