Evelyn I couldn't believe Lucian allowed me to feed him. He had surprised me by actually making me feed him and sharing a meal. As I fed him, my mind couldn't help but wander, thinking about how everything had changed between us in the past days. I had a mission to accomplish in a week, but his presence was making it increasingly difficult for me to concentrate.Lost in my thoughts, I realized my hand had stopped moving as it held a spoonful of food. That's when I felt Lucian's warm hand gently circle mine. His touch sent a familiar, tingling sensation through my body, and I felt my cheeks flush.Lucian's voice broke the silence, so soft and gentle that it only intensified the way my heart raced. "What are you thinking about?" he asked, his gaze fixed on me, making me feel weak in his presence."Nothing," I replied, but my voice came out softer than I intended. I took a sharp breath as Lucian's hand gently cupped my face. The fabric of my dress bunched up in my clenched fists. I want
Lucian The past three days had rushed by in a whirlwind of carnival activities, and to my surprise, I was thoroughly enjoying the festivities. I realized that I had missed out on so much in the past by distancing myself from the pack.Today marked the third day of the carnival, and it was time for the treasure hunt. As the pack discussed the logistics of conducting the hunt in the forest without any accidents, my gaze kept drifting back to Evelyn. I I noticed that she had been avoiding me since that night when we had shared a moment. Our interactions had been brief, and she often found excuses to leave or drifted into her own thoughts. It had become undeniable to me that my feelings for her ran deeper than just physical desire. I longed for something more, something beyond our history as enemies.Then, Frank's voice broke through my thoughts, drawing my attention. "I have a suggestion, Alpha Lucian," he said. I met his gaze, silently encouraging him to continue."Why don't you parti
Evelyn At that very moment, I let go of all my negativity. I didn't care about the future or the challenges we might face. Lucian's confession stirred something deep within me, igniting the feeling I had tried to deny. When he kissed me and expressed his desire to make me his, it was as if the world had faded away, leaving only us and our undeniable attraction.My arms found their way around him, and I surrendered to the kiss. I couldn't help but admit to myself that I had fallen for him. Erica's advice had been right; I didn't have to bear the weight of everything on my shoulders.As our lips were locked in a passionate embrace, it was a silent acknowledgment of the complicated path we were heading into. The rain outside had began slowing down, but inside our shelter, it was a storm of emotions that raged between us. I knew there would be challenges ahead, but at that moment, I didn't care. I had let my feelings for Lucian take over, and it felt right. We might not have all the answ
LucianI felt it deep down into my soul, the weight of being the cause of her tears. The pain I had ignited in Evelyn weighed heavily on my conscience. I wondered if it was too late to express regret for my actions, if I could find a way to become a better person for her.For a moment, I stood outside, gazing into the empty space, contemplating the turmoil of emotions that raged within me. I had wanted to follow her inside, to be near her, but I knew she needed space.When I finally made my way back into the house, my steps were heavy, laden with the memory of her misery. Her words, "Leave me alone," still rang in my ears, and it hurt. I longed to be close to her, every fiber of my being yearning to be by her side. I walked to the bar, grabbed a bottle and glass, and returned to the sitting room. I poured a drink and downed it, the echoes of her words haunting my every thought.I downed another drink, her words still echoing in my mind, a bitter taste in the pit of my stomach. It was
Evelyn So many thoughts swirled in my head, and I felt utterly torn. My feelings for Lucian, the growing tension with Gabriel, and my plan for revenge weighed heavily on me.As I paced around my room after returning from Lucian’s, I couldn’t help but thought of everything as I watch Mason sleep peacefully. The thought haunted me: What if Lucian discovers that Mason is his son? Would he take him away from me? I couldn’t bear the idea.Eventually, I made a difficult decision. If the fireworks event came to an end, I’d leave Lucian’s pack. It felt like my only option to protect myself from further destruction.My thoughts were interrupted by my phone ringing. Lucian’s name flashed on the screen. With a deep breath, I answered the call.“Can we meet?” he asked.His request sent a shiver down my spine. Part of me wanted to see him, to be near him, but I couldn’t forget the pain he had caused me. “Now? Where?” I replied, my voice steady.Lucian’s voice held a sense of urgency as he respond
EvelynI lifted my head from Lucian's chest and glanced around, taking in the surroundings and the tempting array of desserts in front of me. "When did you prepare all this?" I inquired.Lucian's arm held me close as he replied, "Well... I didn't do much. The credit goes to Harold." I raised my eyebrows, surprised by his response."But Harold acted like he didn't know anything. He pretended not to notice you were absent," I pointed out.Lucian's lips formed a thin line. "I told him not to mention anything because I wanted it to be a surprise. Even if you're going to leave, at least I wanted to make our last time special."His words tugged at my heart, reminding me of the complexity of our situation. "I appreciate the gesture," I replied softly. "It's just that, even with all this, I still don't know where we stand, Lucian."He sighed, his fingers gently tracing patterns on my back. "Evelyn, I can't change the past, but I can promise to be better. I love you, and I want to be with you.
Evelyn "I don't understand why we wouldn't proceed with the deal. Why?" I questioned Gabriel trying to keep my frustration in check. After Lucian and I left the house, I went back inside, and that's when Gabriel texted me, asking to meet at the pack. I had managed to dodge Mrs. Victoria's questions about my absence when Mason was crying.Gabriel's reply only deepened my confusion. "Because there's no use now. The plan was to sign the deal and get back at Lucian. But I don't see the need anymore." He wasn't making any sense, but I didn't want to let my anger take over.Trying to make my point clear, I said, "But we've already begun planning. Mrs. Nora was already excited about it. We can't just back out now."In response, Gabriel maintained his calm, claiming, "Trust me, we can. I know how to handle Mrs. Nora. And as for Alpha Drake, we'll meet him and discuss further since we haven't officially signed the contract yet."Gabriel's pissed-off mood was palpable, and a chuckle slipped ou
Evelyn As Lucian and I walked hand in hand, heading towards the picturesque little town, I couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment. The world around us seemed to fade away as we strolled along, lost in each other's company. It was a much-needed break from the tensions and challenges we had faced lately.The quaint town was as charming as ever, with its cobblestone streets and cozy cafes. The bakery I had mentioned earlier was just around the corner, and the delightful aroma of freshly baked goods filled the air. We entered the bakery, greeted by the welcoming chime of a bell above the door.The display case was filled with an array of delicious pastries and bread, but I had my heart set on those cinnamon rolls. We ordered a couple along with some coffee, and the friendly bakery owner served us with a warm smile.We found a cozy corner table by the window, basking in the soft sunlight that filtered through the curtains. Lucian's hand reached across the table to gently brush mine
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
