EVA'S POVWhen I heard the news about Zero, my heart sank in my chest, and my mind raced with a thousand questions. Was she alright? What had happened to her? I couldn't bear the thought of not seeing her, not knowing if she was safe. With a worried heart, I tiptoed towards the door of my room, hoping to sneak out undetected to see how Zero was doing.But fate had other plans for me. Just as I opened the door, Alpha Ambrose appeared out of nowhere with a stern expression on his face that made my heart race with fear. "What are you doing outside your room, Eva?" he demanded as his voice echoed through the silent hallway.I froze, unsure of what to say. But I knew that I had to say something. "I'm so…rry but I need to see Zero," I whispered as my voice trembled with emotion. "Please, Alpha, just for a few minutes. I need to know that she's okay."Alpha Ambrose regarded me for a moment, his eyes searching my face for any signs of deception. But I knew that he could see the truth in my ey
ZAYN'S POV I sat in my dark and dimly lit room as my mind raced with thoughts of my next move in the ongoing battle between I and Adrian. The only sound that filled the room was the tapping of my pen on the paper as I meticulously laid out my plan. My lips were twisted into a sinister smirk as I thought about the chaos that would arise once I set my plan in motion.The ambush had gone well and now even Omar had been accepted into Adrian's pack. Omar's duty was to sow the seeds of discord amongst the pack members. He would create false alliances and breed mistrust amongst Adrian's pack members, turning them against one another. Once I had successfully destabilized Adrian's pack, it would be time to strike. I would launch a surprise attack inside their territory, catching them off guard and leaving them vulnerable to my onslaught. The chaos and confusion that would follow would be the perfect distraction for me to slip away undetected and begin my revenge. Yes, revenge. Alpha Ambrose h
ADRIAN'S POVI stood there, staring at Xerxes, trying to make sense of his behavior and all the rubbish he was saying. I didn't seem to understand why he always found some reason to fault Zero, even when it wasn't her fault. It made me wonder why he was always so quick to blame her whenever something went wrong in battle. A suspicion crept into my mind, and I found myself pondering if Xerxes had feelings for Zero.As I continued to gaze at him, my expression must have become one of contemplation because Xerxes finally broke the silence. "Are you listening to me? Wait.…why are you staring at me like that?" He asked as he noticed the look on my face. "What are you thinking about, Adrian?""I'm just wondering why you always find fault with Zero. It seems like you blame her for everything that goes wrong."Xerxes scoffed. "That's ridiculous. Zero is a great fighter, no doubt about it but I don't trust her. There's just something weird about her. I have this nagging feeling in me that she'
EVA'S POVI paced back and forth in my room, my thoughts consumed by the worry that gnawed at me. I had told Adrian about Xerxes, warned him about the danger he posed, but I couldn't help but feel like he wasn't taking me seriously. The guy thought I was just making up stories but why would I even do that?My expression must have betrayed my anxiety because I could feel the tension in my face, the creases forming in my forehead, and the worry lines etching themselves around my eyes. I couldn't shake off the feeling that something terrible was going to happen, and the thought of Adrian being hurt by Xerxes made me anxious.I continued to pace, my footsteps echoing against the wooden floorboards, as I tried to think of what else I could say or do to make Adrian see the truth about Xerxes. I couldn't shake off the feeling that Xerxes was hiding something, that he was dangerous, and that he would bring nothing but trouble if nobody stopped him.My worries only intensified as I imagined th
ADRIAN'S POVI stood there, frozen, as Eva hurled question after question at me. She stood before me, arms on her waist, and I couldn't help but notice how her fiery gaze was fixated on me. The way she looked at me made me feel like I was under a microscope. She wasn't scared of me like she usually was and I was shocked.It wasn't until she mentioned our relationship that everything hit me like a ton of bricks. "Even if we aren't on good terms, you shouldn't be sleeping around with Zero or other girls," she said, her voice rising with each passing word. "I've been faithful to you."I couldn't believe the words coming out of her mouth, the boldness with which she was speaking. I had never seen this side of her before. It was like she was a completely different person. "Wow, what happened to Eva?" I wondered, amused by her boldness.My expression must have given away my shock because she narrowed her eyes at me. "What, did you think I wouldn't know?" she spat. "Her scent is all over you
EVA'S POVI felt a piercing pain in my chest as I saw Zero standing there in Adrian's room, half-naked. It was as if the world had stopped turning, and all that remained was this moment of betrayal. I couldn't believe my eyes. I thought that Zero was my friend, that she would never do something like this to me. But there she stood, with her shirt off and Adrian's hands on her waist.I was seething with anger. My eyes narrowed, my lips tightened, and my fists clenched at my sides. I felt like I could explode at any moment, but I managed to keep myself together.As I turned to leave, I heard Adrian's voice calling after me. "Eva, wait! Let me explain!"But I didn't want to hear it. I didn't want to be reminded of what I had just seen. I didn't want to be reminded of the way Zero had betrayed me. So I ran back to my room, tears streaming down my face.I slammed the door shut behind me and collapsed onto my bed, my heart pounding in my chest. I couldn't believe this was happening to me. I
EVA'S POVI was frozen in terror as the chaos swirled around me, the sounds of screaming and crashing filling my ears. The marketplace was supposed to be a place of lively chatter and haggling, but now it was a scene of pandemonium. I felt Zero grab my arm, "Come with me," she said urgently, leading me through the throngs of panicked people.I stumbled after her, my heart pounding in my chest. Zero led me to a quiet corner, behind a stack of crates."Hide here," she said, pushing me down to the ground. "Stay low and don't move until I come back."I looked up at her, her dark eyes meeting mine. "But what about you?" I asked, my voice trembling."I'll be fine," she said with a small smile. "I need to see if I can help others get to safety."And with that, she was gone, darting back into the fray.As I watched Zero disappear, I felt like I had to do something to help too. The chaos of the marketplace was overwhelming, and innocent people were falling left and right.Without a second thou
EVA'S POV I woke up to the feeling of someone kissing my forehead. My eyes slowly opened, and I saw Adrian standing beside my bed, holding a tray of food.It was a surreal moment, and I couldn't believe what was happening. Was I dreaming? Maybe I was because the Adrian I knew now would never do that, never.After the attack yesterday, Adrian had taken me to my room and made sure I was comfortable. I was still a little shaken up from everything that had happened including seeing Zayn.But Adrian made sure that I was okay before leaving my room last night. He was acting all tough throughout the night, trying to protect me, and by the look on his face, I could tell that he was worried about me. It was almost unbelievable but I could see how worried he was.As he placed the tray of food on my nightstand, he turned to me and asked, "How are you feeling, Eva?"His voice was soft and gentle, and I could sense the concern in his words. It was a stark contrast to his usual tough-guy demeanor,
