LucianI was seething inside, my chest burning with rage. It only intensified when Evelyn had the audacity to look me in the eyes and tell me to control my temper. What did she know? Just because she had the rare opportunity to accompany me to that pointless art exhibition, she seemed to think it boosted her ego. But I wouldn't allow that to happen.As foolish as Alpha Drake might be, thinking he could control me with his schemes, I knew better. I'd declined his offer to invest in my company for a reason. Business ventures are risky, often filled with failures. My perfume company hadn't achieved success overnight. I knew what I'd gone through, the effort my father had put into building it before his passing. Hell would break loose before I allowed money-hungry men to destroy what I'd painstakingly built.One statement Alpha Drake made had stayed with me, even though I'd initially brushed it off as his usual riddles. Sometimes, in our pursuit of greed, we lose sight of what truly matte
Evenly“I hate you, Lucian!” I screamed in rage as Lucian stormed out of the kitchen. The pain in my wrist, where Lucian had cut me, boiled within me. I knew Lucian was a heartless man, but I hadn’t realized he would resort to violence so readily. The memory of how he grazed the knife on my wrist without a second thought sent shivers down my spine.I had to maintain my composure and sharpen my wits if I wanted to defeat him. A hiss escaped my lips when I accidentally touched a hot pot without kitchen gloves. My anger only intensified. If it weren’t for my own plans and the fact that Lucian’s mother had asked me to take care of the house in her absence, I wouldn’t lift a finger. I wanted nothing to do with his so-called pack. If I wanted to, I could use this opportunity to poison him. But it was easier said than done.The kitchen door swung open, and this time two maids entered, their faces filled with concern. “Ma’am Evelyn,” Maya began. I had them introduce themselves and their roles
Evelyn “Are you planning on eating up that piece of paper? You've been staring at it for quite a while now,” I teased with a hint of playfulness in my voice. We were now seated across from each other after sharing a kiss. To be honest, I didn't know what had come over me for kissing Gabriel. Yes, I knew there was a strong connection between me and Gabriel, given his feelings for me and all. But I didn't expect to feel the way I did earlier."Did I?" Gabriel uttered, his eyes briefly meeting mine before dropping back down to the paper."Seriously, Gabriel," I chuckled. "Don't give me that look," I teased further. "Don't tell me you're nervous?"I was surprisingly okay after the kiss. I didn't feel any awkwardness. Gabriel was a full-grown man, and sometimes our desires simply took over. Besides, that wasn't our first kiss."No, I'm not!" Gabriel replied, suddenly jolting up as if powered by a battery. His eyes squinted as he stared back at me. "What's with the look?"He took a step fo
Lucian"What are you doing in my room?" Her surprised voice broke through the tense atmosphere. I was still seated on her bed, watching her closely as she entered the room."Why are you just coming back now?" I questioned her. It was well past midnight, a time when potential threats could be lurking around the pack's territory, seeking vulnerable targets. Harold had just dealt with a trespasser who attempted to breach the women's chambers. Our pack had robust security measures, but fools still attempted foolish acts.Don't get me wrong; I wasn't concerned about Evelyn's safety in the slightest. Frankly, I couldn't care less if she stumbled upon a pack of hungry wolves. Perhaps a close encounter with danger would make her think twice about wandering without protection in the dead of night.Her words snapped me back to the present. "I don't think that should concern you, whether I return late or not at all. But back to the question, why are you here?" Her tone exuded confidence, almost
Evelyn I don't know how long I sat on the particular spot Lucian had left me feeling completely weak and scared. Weak, due to the way he had handled me, the way he had held my body harshly digging his nails onto my skin. Scared, due to the way my body reacted to his touch. I never expected my body to betray me. The way Lucian’s touch ignited something inside me. How it made my body cower. I nearly lost my guard with the way I was throbbing wet between my legs. The need growing inside me had made matters worst. Up to that moment, my chest was still thumping loudly. I slowly placed my fingers on my still throbbing pussy. It was still wet. Aroused from Lucian’s little torture. If Lucian was able to turn me on with only few touches from him, how’d the situation be when he do the main thing. How would I feel when he thrust his shaft inside me. I didn’t realized I was giving myself pleasure by glazing my fingers in and out of my pussy until a moan escaped me. This was the first time. Tha
Evelyn It was midnight, and the eerie quietness of the surroundings was accentuated by the distant hooting of owls. I couldn't sleep, my eyes wide open as I stared at the high ceiling. I had been in this state for what felt like hours, unable to shake the thoughts swirling in my head, centered around Lucian. Maya's words still echoed in my mind, and I couldn't let go of them.How long had Lucian been luring his own pack members into his bed, using and manipulating them for his own pleasure? I threw the covers off my body, slipped on my slippers, and began pacing around the room. I needed to come up with a plan. I couldn't allow Lucian to continue his behavior, especially at the expense of innocent girls.While I might allow him to have control over me due to our unique situation, I couldn't stand by and let him victimize others. But what could I do? I still lacked concrete evidence to confront him. Frustration gnawed at me, and I bit my bottom lip in deep thought.I glanced at a peac
Lucian “Lure me to your bed.”I didn’t realize I was gripping the glass in my hand tightly as I pondered over Evelyn’s words. She clearly doesn’t know what she had gotten herself into. That one statement could put her in trouble. The way the sight of her body had nearly turned me on. Heck, I literally had to hold myself back last night when she fell unconscious due to the plant she had touched.Poor her. She could’ve lost her life if I hadn’t shown up there. Normally, I take a stroll at midnight around the pack premises to inspect anything or anyone that might try to lurk around. My pack was loaded with security, what I mean by that is it had been guarded with protection from the sorcerers but I still would not rely on that alone. But I still wouldn’t rely on that alone. Trespassers and enemies still act foolish and try to lunge into my territory.Evelyn had no idea of the trouble she wanted to venture into. First, she has a big mouth, but the fear is there deep down. I could literal
Evelyn “Good morning, Ma’am.” A yawning Erica greeted as she made her way inside the kitchen. I threw her a look. “Manners!”“I’m sorry, Ma’am.” She quickly composed herself. I don’t only give her the task to take care of Mason; I also make sure she behaves like a woman. What I mean by that was behaving like a very behaved person, not one that talks anyhow or eats while chattering her teeth. I make sure people around me are as calm and composed as me.“What should I help with?” She asked, assessing the good ingredients in front of me. Maya was busy cutting the onions.“Seriously, Maya, one would think I had beaten you.” I said, seeing the pool of tears on Maya’s face.“It’s really hard to cut onions without shedding tears.” I shook my head with a chuckle before moving towards her.“Let me teach you a secret way because I’m sure this is how you have been shedding tears whenever you cut onions. You get a bowl of water and put the onions inside. From there, you cut it while it’s still s
Evelyn Two months later Two months have passed since the turbulent events that brought both Gabriel and Lucian together as co-alphas. It's been a time of adjustment and change for our pack, and for my family as well. Lucian and Gabriel, against all odds, had found a way to work together as leaders. It wasn't always smooth sailing, and they still had their moments of disagreement, but they managed to keep the peace. As for Mason, he continued to grow and flourish. Both Lucian and Gabriel shared responsibilities in his upbringing, and it warmed my heart to see the bond forming between them and my son. The unity in the pack grew stronger too. The members had initially been skeptical of the co-alpha arrangement, but seeing the two powerful leaders working together for the greater good had won their respect and loyalty.Despite the challenges and interruptions in our personal life, Lucian and I had also thrived as a couple. Our mating bond had deepened, making our connection stronger
Lucian The room's tension was palpable as Alpha Drake and Alpha Dominic locked their eyes on Gabriel and me. It was clear they hadn't anticipated such a smooth resolution. Gabriel spoke up, breaking the silence, and leaned forward."Alpha Drake, I'm sure you understand the consequences of breaching a contract," Gabriel said firmly. "You already agreed to do business with us. You can't back out just because you've received a better offer. That's not how business works."I nodded in agreement, backing Gabriel's words. "It's important to honor your commitments. We all need to uphold our end of the deal."Alpha Drake and Alpha Dominic exchanged glances, seemingly caught off guard by our united stance.Alpha Drake sighed, clearly frustrated by the turn of events. "Well, this wasn't what we expected. We'll have to consider our options and figure out a solution. But for now, it seems like you both have made up your minds."We could sense the tension in the room easing a bit as Alpha Drake s
Evelyn The room felt heavy with tension as Gabriel and Lucian decided on the Alpha competition, with Mrs. Victoria's agreement. My heart couldn't help but race, and a sense of unease settled within me. The outcome of this competition was a matter of immense concern.Mrs. Victoria took a deep breath and spoke up, her voice trembling slightly. "I just hope that this competition doesn't lead to violence. Our pack's safety should come first, and I don't want anyone to get hurt."Both Gabriel and Lucian acknowledged her worry, and I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that hung in the air. The fate of our pack and the relationships between the brothers were at a crossroads, and it was hard to predict the outcome.I knew there were challenging times ahead for Mooncrest, and I could only hope that the competition would be resolved peacefully, without harm to our pack members. The nerves wouldn't leave me, though, and I could only wait and see what the future held for us.**As the time of
Lucian I paced around the room as the revelation sank in. If I said I wasn't shocked by the news, I'd be lying. I had never imagined something like this would happen. I turned to my mother, who was seated with her hands rested on her lap, with Evelyn by her side."Why, mother? Why did you have to hide such a truth from me? Why now?" I lamented.My mother's voice quivered as she looked at me with remorse in her eyes. "I'm sorry, Lucian. I never anticipated that keeping this truth hidden would lead to such a predicament for our family."I ran my hand through my hair, the weight of the situation pressing down on me. "Even if Gabriel is my brother, he has no right to the Alpha position. Not after everything I've done for this pack. It's not going to happen.""Have a seat." She said. I didn't make a move and also my eyes didn't waver on hers. I took a deep breath and turned my emotions still raw. "Mother, I don't want to hear what you or Gabriel has to say. Nothing is going to change my
EvelynLucian rushed back inside and hastily put on a shirt and jeans. I followed suit, wearing my nighties from last night, my heart pounding with worry. Together, we hurried out of the room and made our way to Mrs. Victoria's.“What happened mother?” Lucian asked the moment we stepped inside.Mrs. Victoria's frail voice quivered as she spoke, "I... I couldn't breathe, Lucian. Something was crushing my chest." She coughed weakly, struggling to catch her breath.Lucian knelt beside the bed, holding her hand gently. "We'll get you the help you need, mother. Just hang in there."I stood by their side, my heart aching for Mrs. Victoria, feeling helpless in the face of her distress.Lucian swiftly pressed a button on his phone and called for medical assistance, and within minutes, the pack's doctor arrived to tend to his ailing mother.My heart pounded as I watched the doctor examine Mrs. Victoria. Lucian's concern mirrored the fear I felt deep down."What is wrong with her, doctor?" Luci
Evelyn My mind was somehow at ease after finally telling the truth about Mason being his son. It felt as if a weight had been lifted from my shoulders. Since then, he wouldn't let Mason out of his sight.At some point, I felt like he doesn’t even have time for me. Whenever he came to his mother's side, his first statement was about Mason. We were still facing problems from other packs, although Lucian had taken care of the smaller packs. However, Alpha Drake and Alpha Dominic still remained threats to us.As for the Deakin pack, we had them under control. Mrs. Nora had already explained to them, and I had also played my part. I had apologized for the problem the news had caused. A knock sounded from the door followed by Lucian's voice. "Evelyn, are you there?" I had intentionally locked the door, knowing he would want to enter. I wanted to see how he would take Mason away."Yes. But I don't want to open the door. I know you're here for Mason, not me," I retorted with a glare, as if
Lucian "Harold, prepare for security. Our pack is under attack," I declared as Harold entered the room."Alpha Drake and Alpha Dominic have joined forces. We have to protect our pack's people. Prepare our men for the fight!"I grabbed my phone and started to move towards the door. "Where to, Master?" Harold inquired."I have to make sure Evelyn and Mother are safe. Do as I say. I will check up on them."As I rushed out of the room, I couldn’t shake off the worry for Evelyn and my mother. The unity of Alpha Drake and Alpha Dominic was a serious threat, and the safety of our pack members was my top priority.I contacted our head of security and updated him on the situation. “Gather all available forces and secure the packhouse,” I instructed him. “Make sure our people are protected.”With my heart pounding and my mind racing, I hurried towards mother’s part, praying that Evelyn and my mother were safe. The future of our pack depended on our ability to defend it.As I entered the house,
Evelyn Lucian and I embarked on the journey to the company where the conference would be held. The grand hall was swamped with reporters and journalists, all waiting for him to address the issue at hand.As we walked in, Lucian squeezed my hand reassuringly. "Don't worry, Evelyn. We'll get through this together."I nodded, appreciating his support. "I know we will. Just be yourself, and they'll see the truth."With that, we made our way to the podium, ready to face the awaiting crowd.Lucian cleared his throat and began speaking into the microphone. "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being here today. I'm sure you've all seen the recent news that has raised questions about our pack. I want to address these concerns openly."He continued to speak, explaining the situation and emphasizing our commitment to integrity and unity within the pack. I stood by his side, watching as he faced the crowd with confidence and determination.As he finished, the reporters bombarded him with questio
EvelynA chuckle escaped me as Lucian playfully tried to tickle me. We walked inside the house together, and Lucian’s mother turned to look at us. I composed myself quickly, realizing her serious expression. She was holding Mason in her arms.“Mother,” I greeted, attempting to maintain a straight face.She didn’t hold back. “I see you two no longer stay in the pack. Care to tell me what you’ve been up to, Lucian? And you, Evelyn, looks like you don’t care about Mason anymore. I’ve turned into a babysitter.”Lucian and I exchanged glances, struggling to contain our laughter. Mrs. Victoria’s stern gaze was enough to make anyone crack a smile.Lucian managed to keep a straight face as he spoke to his mother. “Mother, it’s not like that. We’re still very much a part of the pack, but we needed some time alone.”Mrs. Victoria’s expression softened, and she couldn’t resist a small smile. “I know, dear. I’m just teasing you. It’s good to see you both happy together.”I sighed in relief as Mas
