last update Last Updated: 2023-11-02 18:24:06

Ever since she understood what "mate" meant, Evelyn had been in love with Raymond.

But never had she ever imagined that it could stop being a too-luxurious dream that she couldn't afford. She never imagined that one day she could stop suppressing her feelings toward that man, and got asked by her big brother and loving mother that "do you like the Alpha".

Of course she did!

But even in her wildest dream she didn't expect such a twist, and that made her wrist too heavy to knock when she finally made it to Raymond's door. She didn't even know how she got out of her room in Scarlett's gentle smile and James's taunting smirk.

She got there almost like sleepwalking.

She knocked. The sound was so loud that Evelyn panicked and wanted to flee.

But Raymond was faster.

Before Evelyn could even turn he opened the door. He was a little surprised, but then a smile appeared on his face. Evelyn froze there, staring at him like a scared prey caught in the predator's lair.

In the end, it was Raymond

    The days following the night of her first kiss -- first conscious kiss -- with the Alpha were like a dream to Evelyn.The pack members were all stunned when all of a sudden their Alpha started carrying Evelyn around in his arms everywhere he went. It was like she was his newly found favorite toy. The people were stunned because they didn't feel the claim in the pack bond, but soon they got used to it.Evelyn didn't even get used to it this fast. It was the day before their wedding that Evelyn realized--That kiss was their official claim.Yes. Raymond had been busy planning their wedding these days.To werewolves, the wedding ceremony was not a must. They only do it because they are hiding among the humans. The true ritual is the claim before marking each other. The marking would then replace the mate bond, and bond their souls together, forever this time.Was that even a claim? But how normal a claim could she get when her wolf was sleeping and Raymond's wolf couldn't feel the mate b

    Appeared in the center of the ceremony right under the little ivy arch, were Killian's mages with Ava in the very front.The next second Ava swung her arm and threw something at Evelyn. Evelyn didn't see what it was as she flinched before Raymond kicked it away. It flew far into the meadow, leaving a trail of blood and screams.Evelyn's face paled when she saw -- it was a severed head!"That was your mother's head, liar!" Ava shouted at Evelyn in a rightful tone, spouting anger and disdain, "You stole my parents, my pack, and my mate, and I'm here to object to the wedding, and to claim the Luna's title! Raymond Reid, I claim you as my true mate!"Murmurs spread the crowd at Ava's words."What...?" Evelyn murmured in a low voice, looking down on her originally pure wedding dress when she couldn't even start to process what Ava was saying. The wedding dress was ruined. That was what Evelyn was thinking.It was white a moment ago, but not anymore.Now it was covered in blood drops like u

    Evelyn didn't lie to Raymond.She tried her best in the past days to locate his true mate, with every spell she could possibly think of, even with Scarlett's help. But now when Ava said so, Evelyn felt a gruesome twist in her gut--Ava dared to say so, then she must come with full preparation.Even though Evelyn knew she didn't lie, she was now scared. She didn't care about the whole crowd doubting her. She didn't care for the title of Luna, not even a bit. But she cared about Raymond. She cared if he would trust her.She dreaded to be made into a liar in front of him!"Kitten, it will be okay," Feeling her body tensing up, Sysiphus pulled Evelyn into his arms and soothed her with kisses on her head, "You know I trust you, don't you?""I'm sorry..." Evelyn murmured, tears barely holding. She wanted to defend herself, but she didn't know how."You didn't do anything wrong, I know. I would never doubt you, and I need you to trust me so, will you?" Sysiphus showed extreme patience with E

    The moment Sysiphus attacked the mages, a battle broke out.Instantly all the mages joined the battle, apparently prepared for this moment. Quickly adapted to the situation, more and more warriors among the guests shifted and joined the battle, but many guards of the wedding went helping to evacuate the innocent, and though the guests were all werewolves, they were from multiple packs, and would rather sit this one out rather than helping, especially when Evelyn's name was just dragged through mud.They didn't want to help an accused witch, not to mention her being a low-life wolfless at the same time.There was no way Evelyn could stay out of this, even though she knew her using magic would only prove Ava's accusation --That she WAS the criminal the coven was looking for."Look at her! She is going to use magic! She has magic and she lied to you all!" Ava burst into a shrill laughter, pointing her fingers at Evelyn when Evelyn raised her hand but yet used magic.Though Ava's words w

    Sysiphus let out an angry huff at Raymond, but Raymond ignored him and kept staring into Sysiphus's eyes with a serious look until Sysiphus let out a frustrated growl--[I was going to ask for the same thing! Do you promise you won't abandon the kitten, under any circumstance?]Raymond finally looked a bit relieved: [I believe I just answered that question by saying 'I do'.]But Sysiphus didn't join his laugh: [Even if our own people are turned against her? Could you choose her over the pack?]Ava threatened to turn the werewolves against Evelyn, and seeing that with magic Ava was even capable of rousing the mate bond they lost, Sysiphus tended to believe that Ava could do it.If it was up to him, he would take Evelyn's side no matter what. A wolf's mind is simple -- they rule with absolute power, and they choose whatever their hearts tell them to do.But not their human part.Raymond had more to worry about. He had to convince their people, to lead but not to rule, to convince but no

    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

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.

    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.

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
