[What the hell?! Who's he calling kit--] James burst into flames and Evelyn cut the mindlink instantly, and froze where she was -- she had no idea why Raymond would call her out on such an event.

Evelyn's red lips slightly parted under shock, glittering under the blinding bright lights that focused on the stage. With a light frown, she glanced around, blinking as she tried to understand why all the attention was gathered on her.

Gazing into the kitten's lost face, Raymond chuckled in a light mood.

"Please," The man said with his hand held out to her, and Evelyn bit her lips, not too sure whether she should take his hand because she didn't know what she was being asked of. It was all James's fault! Otherwise, she wouldn't be lost on such a huge event when she hated the cameras in the first place!

Raymond grabbed the tip of her fingers as she struggled to finish reaching him for the last few inches, and led her across the designers on stage. Her heart thumped hard in her chest, and Evely

    [Evelyn Black! I'll tear him into pieces if he dares--]Evelyn put through James's mindlink after he shouted at her for the tenth time: [I'm still alive, James]She couldn't do that during Raymond's speech, and she escaped the moment she could to talk to James.[Why did he call you kitten?! Since when were you so close with him?!] James was obviously furious and he was in a forest, from the look of it.[That was not being close,] Evelyn rolled her eyes, glad that James missed the part when Raymond publicly declared war against her, [he was just being annoying--][And why did you cut off the mindlink!] James grunted with a wronged look, [I was worried!][I'm sorry, did you want to have a fight with Raymond through my mindlink?] Evelyn chuckled before she frowned, [Wait, why were you worried? You could see us on TV, no?][...] James was dashing through the forest, in silence.[James, where are you right now?] Evelyn asked with a cautious voice, getting worried.[I'm going to kidnap you b

    "This is where you live? Could get an even smaller apartment?? You are lucky your bed was big enough for the both of us-- Wakey, wakey, sleepyhead! It's almost eight!"Maya's complaint was the first thing Evelyn heard the next morning, and that was even before she could open her eyes.When she got home after picking Maya up, with a taxi by the way, which totally void the necessity of her being there, it was already four in the morning, and on top of that, Maya was too excited to sleep and talked with -- well, at -- Evelyn till Evelyn basically passed out, sleepness deprived."Sounds like I can't make it to the first class anyways..." Evelyn mumbled with her face buried in the pillow, "might as well..."Her brain shut down before she could finish her onesided call-in-sick."We have Killian-the-evil's class today, can't be late!" Maya pulled Evelyn out of the bed with a nip at the back of her neck like a cat mama dealing with a tantrum-throwing kitten, "AND I need breakfast!""I don't, f

    Dreadful of Killian's "history" class, Evelyn delayed until she was absolutely late to the class before she slid in through the back door, but this time she made sure it was minutes before the class was over. She had to attend the class, but even if Killian were to make a scene, she wouldn't suffer for more than minutes.To her delightful surprise, Killian paid no attention to her as if the last class was only a delusion.So Killian only paid attention to cast that spell on her?Confused, Evelyn bit on her pencil as she let her hand draw freely on a piece of paper and her mind wander.This was her ritual when she designs. To see first where her mind takes her before she intervenes and polishes that idea. This time it was for the "designing war". Lines combined and crossed on the paper. At first, it was free and light, but soon turned messy, and in the end a pile of black circles as if darkness was boiling up when her thoughts traveled to Ava and Killian until she broke her pencil on th

    “In case you didn't notice, I'm not talking to you!” Five minutes into her constantly huffing, Ava broke her silence and snapped at Evelyn, who was sitting by her side in a cab.Evelyn didn't want to go with Ava, but she was worried that Killian might catch up with Ava if she leaves."I don't know, do I have to notice you talking to me to be aware of what you said?" With a lazy tone, Evelyn replied half-mindedly, eyes falling outside the window, thinking about Killian.Why did Killian come to Ava with a sweet trap when the last time the coven sent assassins to her directly with no warning? Because now was closer to her power wakening up so they got more cautious???"You heard him calling me a princess, didn't you?!" Ava snapped, turning around to glare at Evelyn, "You just can't let me have anything good! You have to get jealous and take everything from me!""Yep, super jealous of Killian's attention," Evelyn sneered with sarcasm, rolling her eyes, "actually, I prefer the silent mode."

    "Why are you all hovering here?" Theo almost bumped into a guy when he went to Raymond's office with his eyes pasted on the pile of paper in his hand before he pulled to a sudden halt, staring at the anxious crowd around Raymond's office, "Wait, the boss is back already?!"The only thing that could scare so many werewolves all at once was Raymond's wrath, but that shouldn't happen today -- today was the day Raymond went teaching at the university!"The boss is in there alright..." The guy turned around before bowing at Theo, "Beta."Theo glanced around lightly, realizing they were all from the pack."What happened with the Alpha?" Theo put away the file in his hand. Pack matter comes first than the company affair."That's the thing," The gamma shook his head at Theo, "we have no idea what happened, and that seemed to have pissed off the Alpha even more...""You need to get in there, Beta," A woman tugged Theo's arm with begging eyes, "he would tear us apart if we try again.""Go attend

    Raymond froze when his brain processed James's words -- Evelyn didn't skip his class! She was missing and he didn't even know! In the split second where Raymond was gripped by a sudden fear at this news, Sisyphus took control under his fury and jumped at James with a growl. James's eyes were flickering as his wolf pressed to the surface, too, at the challenge from Sisyphus. The two Alphas' body crashed into each other, their hands gripping the other's neck as they tried to take the upper hand, only to crash into the huge table together and broke the innocent furniture into pieces. "Give, her, back!" James shouted angrily, struggling up to his feet with a hand gripped on Raymond's collar as he launched hard punch at Raymond's face, and fighting with both James AND Raymond, Sisyphus couldn't avoid and took that punch,leaving a deep cut on the corner of his lips. Riled up by the sting, Sisyphus threw his fist into Jame's nose, and the two Alphas stood against each other with their han

    "Killian Dunn is the High Priest of THE coven," Raymond briefed James as he put on his suit, "the only one who dares to make such a fuss in my city, and has the power to do so, too."Raymond only asked for a meeting. He didn't want to tip Killian off if it really was Killian who took Evelyn. It wasn't like Killian had never done that before.He has done that twice now! Raymond cursed at himself in his mind. He should have paid more attention! Though bound by the peace treaty, a High Priest is just powerful as an Alpha was, and he should never have counted on Killian's words when he said he would leave Evelyn alone!"So why are you keeping him here?!" James turned around, following Raymond with his eyes."Did you miss the part about him being the High Priest??" Raymond rolled his eyes, "There are certain rules about this, and I can't just go to war whenever I don't like someone just because they are annoying -- where do you think you are going?"James followed Raymond out."I'm coming w

    "So, why are you taking such an interest in that girl?" With a light tone, Killian leaned on the wall with one foot pressed against it, making small chats as they waited for James, "she drugged you, you know? Sarah tricked her."The best and fastest way to track down a werewolf is through their mindlink. The mages created a spell for that in the war -- for a much darker and brutal purpose of course. But it came in handy today.Neither the truth about the drug incident, nor the fact that Killian knew so much about it surprised Raymond."Didn't you give her to me as my mate?" Raymond snorted coldly, folding his arms in front of his chest, taunting with a flat tone, "To us, mate is the person who interests you the most.""Speaking of," Killian gave Raymond the annoying smirk, "why are you the 'mateless' Alpha? I mean, you wouldn't get such a name if you have lost your mate, or just haven't found her yet, right?"[I'm NOT mateless!] Sisyphus growled, getting frustrated. Mate was the bleedi

Like Evelyn missing Raymond, Willia misses Sysiphus and maybe more. The spell's breaking restored the memory of Scarlett, James and Raymond, and Evelyn suddenly got all her family and friends back with no life-threatening risk hanging over her head.But that isn't the case for Willa. She is clean like a newborn baby and the only one she knows now is Sysiphus. Not to mention, Sysiphus adores Willa like no one else. Willa would only talk to him and Evelyn, not even Raymond.Things were so great for a month or two after Sysiphus marked Evelyn, but then he suddenly got busy, and so did everyone else. Though they see each other at breakfast, that had been their only chance to see each other in a whole day.[I'm sure we can see him tonight, it's Friday after all,] Evelyn rubs her forehead, getting a headache from the baby that had

    Raymond came early.He didn't dare take more people against Killian's request, but he sent men to monitor all the mages in the city when he came to the warehouse hours early and lurked around. When it was reported to him that several important members of the coven disappeared, he knew something was wrong.So he woke up Sysiphus and came close to the house, only in time to hear Killian's words.Killian: "I can explain..."But Sysiphus wasn't in the mood to hear.[You can't go in rage right now!] Raymond was watching Sysiphus carefully in his mind, ready to take control at any moment, [I told you she would be in a bad condition, and you--][I have learned my lesson, Raymond, I won't lose it. I went into deep sleep because I was worried about the witch's mate bond spell, but not now when I see my mate with my own eyes.] Sysiphus answered calmly, his eyes landing gently on the white wolf floating in the air.The shade of cocky that had always been in his voice was gone, replaced by an earn

  • Trap The Mateless Alpha   134 Killian's Plan

    Killian persuaded Ava to use the same warehouse where she peeled off Mathilda's wolf.He saw real fear in Ava's eyes and he knew to Ava, the moon goddess truly existed and that Ava really believed she wouldn't be protected in that warehouse by her goddess.But why stains two places on the earth when she obviously enjoyed peeling off wolves, right? She might do more in the future. This logic persuaded Ava.Right now there they were. Ava and Killian, standing in the dusty, empty, abandoned warehouse, with Evelyn between them in a magic bubble, covered in burnt scars, barely alive.There was only one beam of moonlight throw the window, and Killian put Evelyn right under it.Ava kept her distance -- she had developed a moonlight-phobia since Mathilda. Killian glanced at his watch before he bowed to Ava: "Would you want me to do the honor?"Ava shook her head. It was so scary last time, and she couldn't even imagine how she pulled that off all on her own. But this time she felt a frantic

    For four days straight Evelyn was kept in a magic bubble, naked.Fire would burn her skin crispy before ice froze her limbs. Then again, and again. Until she was at the edge of death, and that was when the mage guarding her would heal her wounds to prevent her death.And then a new cycle of fire and ice.Every day Ava would come visit Evelyn with only one question: where is your totem?Ava saw Evelyn's power. It was a much more pure and strong magic than anything Ava had ever seen. Maybe Killian's was stronger, but his power wasn't as pure.Ava wanted Evelyn's power. She had been stealing from Evelyn all her life -- she stole Evelyn's mother, father, identity...Everything! Why not this one more thing? Sara stole Scarlett's power successfully!But Evelyn wouldn't budge. Even at the edge of death she never begged. There were a few times when Evelyn tried to take her own life, and Ava had to add more men on guard just so they wouldn't kill Evelyn by accident.Evelyn really wanted death.

    Midnight, a warehouse.Killian stood in the darkest corner of the warehouse where Mathilda's wolf was peeled off her, waiting.Raymond slipped a piece of paper into his collar when Raymond grabbed his collar before punching him in the face. He only realized that when Raymond patted over it. On the note were these words--[Midnight, THE warehouse]Even now Killian was still shocked at how far Raymond really could see.Raymond saw through Ava's whole plan when he didn't even have magic! He tricked everyone when he accused Ava of the crimes Evelyn was supposed to have done, so they all thought Raymond was only there to clear Evelyn's name when--What Raymond wanted was to meet Killian without anyone's attention!The depth of Raymond's plan made Killian's blood run cold. Once again he felt fear for what an awful enemy Raymond would be.No doors moved, nor any windows. But suddenly Raymond walked out from a shadow into the center of the room. His head held up high and he was looking at the

    Ava never loved Raymond, but it didn't mean that she didn't want to conquer him. The man who every girl in the city admired, how could Ava not want him?! But all he ever gave her was insult and humiliation! Finally she got power and she even stole Evelyn from him, but this man just wouldn't submit in front of her! How dare he?!"You kill me now without me accepting your rejection, then you can never have another mate in your life," Raymond threatened with a serious tone, but instead of looking worried, Ava lay back with a cocky smile.Raymond curved his lips."What are you laughing at?!" Ava's face twisted -- the annoying Alpha! She hated his arrogant confidence!"I'm laughing at how simple you are. It's so easy to read you," Raymond shook his head slowly, taunting Ava with a smirk, "I just threatened you with a life of no mate, yet you don't look afraid at all. You should at least act, because now I know--"Ava held her breath without realizing it because she was nervous that Raymon

    Raymond finally woke up on the fifth day after Sysiphus went in rage.Mathilda dropped the glass in her hand when she noticed his finger twitching: "Raymond? Raymond! Oh my God! Someone! He's awake!!!"James came first, followed by Emma and Scarlett. Theo was called to the Alpha house later that day, but Mathilda didn't let him in until Raymond's mind cleared up late in the afternoon.Raymond wasn't in a good shape though--Sysiphus was still in rage, trapped in deep sleep. Sysiphus was hurt too badly and couldn't wake up, but somehow he managed to give control before he went into deep sleep to heal. Or else Raymond couldn't have woken up yet."Where is Evelyn?" Raymond asked James, his tone calm with a shade of desperation.He knew a lot of horrible things would have been happening to Evelyn while he was trapped, but he had to face it.Sysiphus took the most hit, yes, but Raymond was the one suffering the most. He saw through the situation earlier than anyone, and yet he was trapped

    Suffered through so much: getting a rejection, refusing a rejection, and then watching his beloved little sister suffering the devastating scar, but none of them hurt Sysiphus more than Evelyn's few simple words.Evelyn didn't expect that in the end, it was her own words that pushed Sysiphus into rage!Bursting into a painful growl, Sysiphus lost it and shifted under rage. He charged in Evelyn's direction and instantly everyone reacted. The mages shot all colors of beams at him while his own wolves followed him and tried to stop their Alpha -- their most powerful warrior in rage.Of course they failed.Werewolves flew out from Sysiphus's hits like leaves in the autumn winds, and the beams shot by the mages didn't seem to even get Sysiphus's attention.With a loud growl, James shifted the same time Sysiphus did and jumped in front of Evelyn and finally he stopped Sysiphus inches before Sysiphus could reach Evelyn.[Leave! He can't think!] James mindlinked Evelyn, [He could hurt anyone

    Evelyn froze where she was before anger burst into flames in her chest."You did what?!" Evelyn hissed under her breath, not sure if she heard Ava right. Her voice and her body shook under anger, too. She knew Ava was evil, but she never thought Ava would commit the worst crime there is!Peeling off the wolf spirit from a werewolf! It's like castrating a soldier captured in a war, like raping an underage girl in front of her family. You don't do that, not even in a war!How dare she?!Tears of pain burned Evelyn's eyes, and for the first time in her life she felt the urge to kill. She wanted Ava dead! She wanted to see regret and horror in those vicious laughing eyes and she wanted to inflict pain!Ridiculous that Ava did all this just to reveal that she had magic, but if that was what Ava wanted, then fine! Evelyn raised bother her palms and walked up to face Ava, like the death goddess with the power of life and death in her hands!Ava curved her lips, but she avoided Evelyn -- she
