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 The way my body reacted to Lucian's kiss, I knew I was in deep trouble. I had a feeling that the challenge was going to backfire on me. Thankfully, Lucian pulled away; otherwise, I might have kissed him back. I was relieved that he didn't push it further, but the desire in his eyes remained evident. It had always been that way. In the past, and now. I tightened my grip on my dress, trying to regain composure. "Back off!" I finally found my voice.Lucian's brows furrowed in confusion for a moment before he reverted to an amused smile. He stepped back, but the distance he left was still affecting me. I swallowed hard. My heart was definitely playing games with me. Something was wrong. I wasn't someone whose desires always arose so easily. I had never felt this way when Gabriel and I had any physical contact. When we kissed, it didn't awaken this kind of longing. Why was Lucian's mere touch affecting me so intensely? I didn't come to the Mooncrest pack to let him control my bo
Lucian I couldn't stop myself. My wolf didn't want to stop. He was as horny as I was, trying to overtake me. A smile danced amidst my lips as Evelyn parted her lips, giving me more access to explore her. I had said it before. She was putting herself into trouble by challenging me to lure her to my bed. I hadn't done anything serious, and she was already at my mercy. Under my control. I knew I had an effect on her. I could see the way her eyes were swirling with lust as she stared at my naked chest.I had initiated the treatment on purpose. I didn't want her out of the room when she had already made me damn aroused by her perfect round curves. I knew I had to make up something. To make her stay, and now it ended up getting heated. I was going to use the opportunity to show her who was in control. Not only her body, but her heart in whole.Forget her husband! He's no match for her. The two don't even look good together. Gabriel or whatever his name is, dares to challenge me and tells m
Evelyn I was angry. Pissed. Weak. All at myself. I didn't know what I was feeling at that moment. I was seated in front of Mason's baby cradle, trying to make sense of what had occurred between me and Lucian a few hours ago. I couldn't believe I had given in to my desires. I allowed him to have control of my body. And I felt good. Every touch and thrust made me feel good. I couldn't stop myself. I needed more. The way Lucian ignited mixed feelings within me. I was confused when he mentioned Gabriel. My body somehow agreed when he said Gabriel could not give me the pleasure. He was right. I tried comparing the scene with Gabriel, but all I could see was Lucian.I hated that he made me succumb to him. I even hated that at that moment, sitting in front of Mason, all I could think about was getting under his skin again. For his fire to burn down my skin with pleasure. Fuck it. No one can pleasure me that way but Lucian. I hate him for that.The noise from Mason snapped me out of my tranc
Evelyn "Caleb, can you get us coffee, please?" Gabriel said as soon as I arrived. I found the three men talking together. Caleb left the room, and I proceeded to take my seat in between Hunter and Gabriel. I was still in a bad mood from the interaction with Lucian. The way he always tries to exert his control on me. The only thing he cares about is his lustful desire. What we had was a mistake. I will make sure it won't happen again. I have a mission at hand. To bring Lucian down. I barely have up to the one month left yet I had begun slacking off."So..." I commenced, sparing Hunter and Gabriel a look. "What plans do you guys have on the ground now?" Gabriel told me he had already discussed with Mr. Nora, and she is okay with whatever decision we make since it will be for the betterment of the pack."I want us to meet Alpha Drake tomorrow," Gabriel declared. I shot him a questioning brow, urging him to go on. "The earlier, the better. I have another proposal to offer him.""Another
Evelyn"We are finally having the meeting, please," Alpha Drake said as he gestured for Gabriel and me to take a seat. We had finally gone out to meet the man. He chose his office since it would be easier than going all the way to his house."It's an honor to meet you, Alpha Drake," Gabriel said with a tight-lipped smile. It was his first time meeting the man."My pleasure. Seeing you two in person now, I can see why your pack is on the rise. You two look perfect together," he commented. Gabriel and I shared a look. I expected to see an amused smile on Gabriel's, which was exactly what I saw. He liked how people mistake us for a husband and wife."Thank you for the compliment," Gabriel answered after a short while. The man dialed a number and spoke to someone to fetch us coffee."Hope you guys are okay with coffee? I figured it would be better for the morning," he explained, adjusting his sitting position."We're good. Coffee never gets out of the ordinary.""I agree. And since our to
Lucian“Remember, Charles, our focus should be on quality, not just the labeling or packaging. I like the fragrance, but we could produce a better scent than this. Is there a need for any equipment upgrades?” I asked as I assessed the process of the new work in progress. I had decided to go around the factory to ensure everything was perfect. I want to launch the product within the month. The earlier the better.“The equipment are up to date, Mr. Lucian,” Charles, the production manager, answered. He was one of the best in my company.I nodded my head and moved on to the next part: the labeling and packaging. “Who designed this?” I asked, taking one of the labels and examining it.“The—”“Have them redesign it again. The quality is poor, and the name is too transparent. Send them over to me before you start working on it,” I said firmly. The person in charge’s eyes darted from me back to Charles.“But, Mr. Lucian, you were the one who selected this particular format. We’ve already pri
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
