"Theo," Raymond waved Theo over after the Whites left, "seal off the news. What happened here stays here.""Yes, Alpha," Theo bowed lightly before he leaned in for a whisper, "actually, there is more to what happened last night, but I didn't know if I should have--""I know, and I also know it just might ruin Ava," Raymond nodded lightly, "but we don't have any evidence."It looked highly suspicious that Ava left Evelyn out on the stairs on purpose, but Raymond didn't mention it before, partially because--He couldn't figure out Evelyn's attitude toward the Whites. Based on the Whites' behavior, the only explanation for Evelyn's tolerance toward them would be that she still loved that "home", and Raymond didn't want to force her to snap out of the illusion."We just might," Said Theo with a cautious tone, searching for any trace of upset in Raymond's eyes -- after all, Ava was the special girl that Raymond ever slept with, and obviously, Raymond understood Theo's look--Clearing his th
"Alpha?" Theo asked in caution. Raymond sat there in silence ever since he played the footage with the gloomiest look on his face.Theo hadn't seen that face for a while, and the past two years finally made sense -- they weren't his imagination, and his Alpha really had been that dark for a long time."Where is Alia now?" Raymond finally asked, barely managing to keep his voice calm."On a private party," Theo bowed, answering carefully, "she didn't know we are onto her, but I have men monitoring her moves.""Get her to the dock, I'll be there in a moment," Raymond said, his voice sullen and rough."Yes, Alpha," Theo bowed, "and Miss Ava?"Though it was VERY dangerous to bring her up right now, Theo didn't want Raymond to drown for her any further.She wasn't as innocent as she looked.Fell into silence, Raymond went to his window, watching the sparkling city under the dark night, his finger in the dim light of the projector suddenly looked lonely and fearful."Is she really the myster
Biting her lips, Alia decided to lie till the end -- the two boys told her they destroyed the camera, along with the type!"Alpha Raymond, I really didn't know any of these, I swear!" Alia lunged at Raymond, grabbing his suit with puppy dog eyes, "I would punish them in the most severe way--""Sit down," Raymond said two words in the softest way, but the strong Alpha Aura almost crashed Alia to the ground as she fell back into the chair."So they abducted a drugged girl, raped and typed the whole thing," Raymond put on that cold smile again, "I'd love to hear how you propose to punish them, actually.""I'll get guys to rape their sisters and make them watch the whole thing!" Alia shouted hastily, "They deserve a lesson when they go around raping women!"Raymond let out a cold laugh before he turned to Theo: "Wow, and I thought I was cruel.""Ruthless is not the same as vicious," Theo bowed with a cold face, "the former can make a good leader, but the latter only a tyrant.""I don't thi
The cold, vicious Alia on the screen ignored Raymond and continued: [Get her done. I'm gonna go find Raymond and get my alibi now. Enjoy, bitch!]"How...how..." Alia mumbled, but fear gripped her throat."Watch," Raymond said coldly, his teeth clenched to suppress his anger, "you might want to get an idea of what's gonna happen to you."Alia melted on the chair, eyes not even focusing properly on the screen or she would have seen Evelyn take the film before she stumbled out of the door.Evelyn took it just by instinct, and Raymond found the film on the ground of room 27 on the 17th floor, though the evidence Theo gathered was enough, her instinct helped Raymond play Alia more to his satisfaction.Though it seemed like Evelyn completely forgot about it."Alia Ryan, you ordered two guys to rape a girl and type it, when you know she was drugged and yet you drugged her with another strong dose without even a shred of moral conscience," Raymond announced Alia's crime with an icy tone, "what
"Thanks, Edward," Evelyn fell back into her chair with a heavy grunt, "I'm so sorry to get you out of here in the middle of the night...""You know I don't mind," Edward chuckled with a glance at Evelyn, "happy to be your driver until you get to 20 and no longer has any use of me, princess."Evelyn shot Edward a glare, and he just grinned brightly.Edward went to the same high school as Evelyn, as part of his escape-home plan. He was three years older than Evelyn, so he only spent less than a year with her in the same school, but that didn't stop him from falling in love with her, and on the day he turned 18, he told Evelyn his wolf found Evelyn his mate--A lie Evelyn exposed later easily before she trapped him in James's bathroom naked, with James right outside in the living room.James put Edward in his place for Evelyn without her having to make the request.Of course, Evelyn did that to get rid of Edward, but that was the biggest failure of her plan --Edward had been crazy about
"Please, Alpha, let's not rush into anything, alright?" Theo struggled to turn around when he heard Raymond's mumble, "I'm not even sure it was him, and I definitely need to dig into this before I can make sure--"Raymond got off the car."Alpha! Wait!" Theo shouted in haste, but before he could escape from his safety belt, Raymond dragged open his car and pulled him out."Alpha?" Theo froze by the side of the road, confused, "Are you...leaving me here?"Raymond started the car and then stuck his head out, shooting Theo a deathstare: "Shotgun, now!"The car dashed off before Theo could close his door.Theo watched in awe as his Alpha called in a favor from the police and soon caught up with Evelyn. Raymond kept his distance, tagging along shortly before he took turns differently from them and stopped the car in a lonesome street."You..." Theo followed Raymond off the car as he whispered, "remembered their plate number, huh?"Raymond glanced at Theo with a weird look, not answering.Th
The Grand Opening was finally here, 8th Sep, a week before the first ever term at Forks University begins. Evelyn spent the happiest week she had in a long time -- shopping and clubing with Maya day and night. Raymond seemed to have lost interest in pursuing her "crime", and with the Maya the amulet, Edward disappeared, too. "I thought you are here to accompany your father," Teasing, Evelyn got off Maya's car and walked with her into Forks U, "I don't want to be on Alpha Grey's list!" "And what? Watch you take the subway over?" Maya rolled her eyes, "He took me because this way my mom would worry less about his drinking. As if he really wants me with him to ruin his fun!" "I wish I can turn 21 tomorrow," Evelyn shook her head, "it's so inconvenient to get around here without a car." "You could have got any house here within a 10 minutes' walk!" Maya snorted, "Instead you have to stick with that stupid 'low-key' thing and get that tiny place in the city!" "I'm trying to get a job
"OMG, what do we do?!" Evelyn yelped at Maya, only to find Maya slipping away, "Where are you going?!""He's gonna reject me if he sees me!" Maya hissed under her breath in haste, "I'm sorry but I have to go. They are all yours, girl!""You--" Evelyn tried to grab Maya in the least attention-tracking way, but not only did she fail to do so, but a lot of people around them also gasped at Maya's sudden move, hence when Evelyn turned around, only to find--Everyone's attention was now on her, including the two men that were in a standoff.Evelyn: "..."Hmmm... Did that count as SHE solving the problem?"Evelyn?!" James frowned in surprise, "What are you doing here?""Uhh..." Evelyn blinked, totally forgetting she told James she had to stay in the city because she took NYU's offer, "Actually--""I invited her to MY school," Raymond cut her off, catching James's attention again, "got a problem with that?" Raymond remembered that James was "after Evelyn" and caused a war for that no less. I
