Alpha Damon's POV For the next two weeks after I made that decision of how to offer some protection for Evie, I didn't go over to see her or check on her condition. I was afraid that if I did, I would develop cold feet and renounce what I already told her I was going to do. I still felt like I might stop it, especially each time I remembered how she proclaimed that she only gave in to my sexual advances because she was scared of me, but what kept me on hold was the fact that making her my concubine would not only offer protection for her but would also give me access to do whatever I wanted with her.Since that would be the case, it would be easier to get her to bow to my touch and beg for more."Are you sure you want to push through with this?" Came the question from my Beta."Why not?" Gamma Samuel retorted. "If you ask me, I will say marking her is the way forward, not just making her a royal concubine. But then, a win is still a win." He concluded. "I am only saying so because I
Evie's POV "And now, for the second announcement."I didn't know why, but when I heard those words, my heart began to beat loudly in my chest.What if the man was going to punish me for daring to interrupt him when he was punishing offenders? I shook my head slightly as I told myself that couldn't be the case. He didn't know I was going to interrupt him when he first came in and told us that he had two announcements to make. He had even claimed that the announcement was important, so there was no way it would be about punishing me. Right?My heart sank as I realized that he might still be contemplating about punishing me. After all, I was the reason why he had to go through all those stress just to punish two people. I might have tried to assure myself that there was no way he would punish someone who had barely recuperated from her near-death experience, but the man had refused to check on me for the two extra weeks I used while at the hospital."So..." He began.I steeled my heart
Damon's POVThe laughter that rented my lips was still not gone by the time I returned to the mansion with my two best friends. By the time we got in, I busted out into another series of laughter."That was easier than I imagined it would be," I said when I calmed down. "I thought that she was going to make a fuss in the presence of everyone." Then, I burst into another series of laughter."Are you that happy?" Stephan snickered at me."Happy, my foot. The guy is gone too far than that," Samuel added.I ignored both of them and just continued to focus on myself. I was happy because I was able to achieve my plan this time without any opposition. With how smooth everything went, I was surprised that no one was accusing me of using a charm on the woman in question."But wait a minute. Why does it seem like I had an easy win? Evie is not someone to just sit back like that," I asked myself when it occurred to me. Or thought that I said those words to myself. It was a surprise when I heard
Evie's POV "Greetings to you, Lady Evie."I stopped walking and turned around to see two ladies who were of noble births stopped to pay their respects to me. I hissed out of anger, already fed up with the name that people had been calling me ever since five days ago when the Alpha had suddenly decided to announce to the entire world that I was his woman.After I went to meet him to argue my point with him, the man had not given me even a single chance to let him know that I was not interested in being known as his woman or having 'lady' attached to my name. The first thing he said was that I was going to regret it if I utter those words. Why, you all must wonder? Because he was going to send an army out to look for Rebecca and her father and have them killed as was his initial plan.That was when it became clear to me that I was trapped in this situation because I pleaded for the lives of those two. A small part of me that wanted my freedom had wanted to damn the consequences and ask
Miss Kardashian's POV That lowlife!How dare that lowlife regard me like that? What? I traded my body to be known as the Alpha's woman? She was announced while I was not? She got higher than me in position, and I had to pay her my homage? What kind of crap was all that?"Does she actually expect me to pay homage to her?!" I yelled into the night's air. The sound reverberated to me, and I winced as I thought about all the wolves with sensitive hearing that might have heard everything I said.It was all because of that nobody who thought that she just suddenly hit the jackpot. She should just wait until I showed her exactly what her down life would be. She was going to regret humiliating me in the presence of people who were used to giving me nothing but maximum respect.It was a good thing I was not around on the day she was crowded either. How else would I have coped with all the stares from people who would look to see if I would bow down to that idiot, or if I was going to disrespe
Evie's POV As I entered the room and switched on the light, something felt eerie. I was about to brush the feeling off when I saw a pillow on the floor. I rolled my eyes, thinking that Miss Aurora must have let it fall off when she turned in bed. I bent down to pick it up and dropped it back on the bed. I smiled to myself when she didn't move."She must be tired," I mused. I had to confess that I was shocked when she came over to the house and we spent time together today, only for the Alpha to ask her to stay for the night when it was time for her to leave. I tried to convince her to leave, but she was more than happy to spend the night with me. Now that she was fast asleep, I felt guilty about leaving her alone for hours, but I didn't have much choice as I had to make sure everything was in order at the mansion.I was no longer the head of the servants at the mansion. The Alpha left me the choice to choose whoever I wanted for the role. Since Grace had always been the one to direct
Damon's POV Whoever it was that had dared to try to assassinate Evie even after I placed her under my protection was going to pay for tampering with her life. I couldn't imagine what would have happened if she was alone in bed, and everyone had gone to bed."Who could have dared to hurt my woman?!" Samuel yelled.After the doctor affirmed that Miss Aurora was going to be fine, Samuel and I found that we couldn't just sit still, waiting and watching. We had to track whoever it was that had done the harmful deal. It didn't take long to see where the intruder took in as a black scarf was found at the edge of the window when we looked out through there. We didn't waste time getting out of the room through the window.We followed the trail, hoping it would lead us to the hideout of the person, but we got disappointed after the trail just ended in the middle of the road. Only the moon goddess knew how the person had made the footprints disappear in the middle of the walk. Despite hours of
Evie's POV For the next three days after the suffocating incident in my room happened, the Alpha refused to allow me to sleep alone. It was either we slept in his room or he would wait until I was fast asleep in my room before he carried me back to his room. As for Miss Aurora, she got better after two days and left for her house with the Gamma.While we were in bed the previous night, the Alpha announced to me that he had to go to the city to check on the business since there was no director there. He implored me to go with him since he chose me as the director at the last meeting, but I respectfully declined. I wasn't cut out for that kind of stress in my life. Thankfully, Beta Stephan had offered to take over the position.Alpha Damon had been reluctant about leaving me alone to myself, but I assured him that I wouldn’t be staying alone since I would be surrounded by people at the pack and the Omegas would also be there with me. He and his Beta and Gamma finally left after Grace a
Evie's POV Life was a lot easier now that Alpha Damon and me decides that we were going to talk about everything that had happened in the past and see if there was a way we would live to fix our broken relationship. And that was exactly what we did.Now, we were back to the pack. I smiled as people walked up to me with a smile on their faces, especially Miss Aurora and Grace."Hey, friend. I'm so happy for you." Miss Aurora said, hugging me. I returned her hug and even gave her a smile."Thank you," I responded."Now that you are actually having your mating ceremony with the Alpha and you are going to be the Luna, I don't know if I would still be able to relate with you as I did when you were just our head of servants," Grace said, a sad smile on her face.I held her hand and gave her a light squeeze. "We are friends, Grace. That is what you and Miss Aurora know," I told her. And I meant every word that I said. There was no way I was going to leave the people who were my friends jus
Alpha Damon's POV "How dare you, a reputable private investigator, claim that you cannot track a aingle person?!" I bellowed into the phone.I was now very frustrated. Where could she have gone after running out on me like that? That was the last thing that I thought she would ever do. Or what exactly had gone wrong? The worse part of it all was that not one, not two, not three private investigators had seen her anywhere around. "Damon, I found her!'' Samuel yelled even before he opened the door and showed me his face."Where the fuck is she?!" I yelled instantly, already picking up the car keys even as I asked the questions."Her grandfather's," Samuel told me. He gave me the name of her grandfather and my mouth was left wide open."That is the Alpha King!" I exclaimed."Exactly!" Samuel answered, rolling his eyes. That had to mean just one thing - Evie was not a human as we all assumed."By the moon goddess!" I yelled. I didn't bother to stay around for any more talk. I rushed ou
Miss Kardashian's POV "How the hell did you fail again?!" I yelled at the witch mother for the third time. I watched as she was still on the floor where she fell, panting hard like her life depended on it.She had started whatever spell she was casting in earnest. For some reason, all had looked like it was all going well until a scream tore out from the witch mother, and she stumbled backward. She fell on her ass and never got up since then. I didn't need to be told that she had, once again, failed to remove the obstacle blocking my path."You promised me you will kill her!" I yelled again. Now, I was no longer frustrated. I was tired. Tired and angry that nothing seemed to be working in my favor. I fisted my hands to my sides as I looked at the witch mother in agony.This was all her fault! All she had done was promise me and not fufill that promise over and over again."It seems..." She panted out. "It seems that... she is a werewolf... and I have accidentally unlocked that in her
206Evie's POV I remembered everything now.The fact that I was not alone as I thought and I had a grandfather who was still alive somewhere. I remembered the road to his place as well. Even if I didn't, the man was the Alpha King, so it would be easier to find my way to him. With nowhere else left to go, I decided to visit the man.It wasn't as if I had much of a choice anyway. I didn't know anyone else that I should go over to tell them the kind of burden I was carrying in my heart. Even as I made my way to his place, I wasn't sure if I should go. A whole lot of years had passed by, and I was no longer sure if the man was still alive. Still, I had to make sure."Stop right there!" The guards at the gate yelled at me the moment they spotted me. Their bows and arrows and swords were ready to spring into action if they considered me as a threat to them in any way. I raised my hands up to show them that I was not in any way a threat to them or the others."What is going on?" I heard a
Alpha Damon's POVStorming out of the restaurant and into the parking lot, I moved my wild eyes frantically searching for any trace or clue of my date, Evie, but couldn't find any. I could have gone after her immediately, but a couple of waiters had seen her violent reaction and held me back.Fucking lucky them I had enough self control to not throw them all across the room. Now that I was going after her, I couldn't find her."Why did she fucking leave all of a sudden?" I muttered to myself. "Was she in some kind of pain?"I tried to imagine what might have gone wrong but I couldn't think of a thing that might have made her leave."Fuck." I snapped, landing my already clenched fist on a random wall, leaving a dent but I'm too carried away to notice a thing. It was so sudden, because she fucking went from smiling to screaming. I brushed my hair back and closed my eyes and reminiscing the warmth I felt from her smiles, how beautiful and delicate she looked as she tried to stop herself
Evie's POV I had no idea how long I must have kept running through the night, because my entire body was screaming at me, yelling and begging to be allowed to take a break. But my mind was racing with pain, torment and torture.Nothing had broken me as bad as the truth.I endee up back at the mansion, and stagger up it's stairs. The guards stationed for security all flicked towards me, worried and scared of losing their heads if anything happened to me. Unknown to them, my injuries were internal."Miss!""Are you alright?!""Call the nurse—!""No!" I yelled, "Stay away from me and stay back in your posts!" They were startled and unsure, but I didn't wait to look at more of their reactions. Shivering, I wiped my tears which kept pouring down my face, pushed the heavy doors open and stormed in. In my blind flurry, I did not see Grace coming from the other direction, and I bumped into her, causing whatever she was carrying to crash to the floor deafeningly."Miss Evie!" She gasped, han
Evie's POV Despite the warm and cosy environment of the restaurant where I was having my date with Alpha Damon, there was still a certain tension charging the air between us. His dark eyes was watching me with intensity, and mine kept bouncing back and forth between the both of us.A waiter appeared by our table, holding a smoking cold bottle of wine. "Your wine, please." She smiled, wrapping a white towel around the bottle before tipping the rich, scarlet liquid into both of our tall glasses. "Enjoy." She gave a bow and left us alone in tense silence. Although, the tension only seemed to be coming from me. Alpha Damon's domineering and confident aura was unshakable, indestructible and everything in between. In his dark dress shirt which had the top bottons undone and tousled brown hair, he looked every inch like the powerful Alpha of the Night wolves pack that everyone dared not defy."Have a taste of the wine, it's the best." He said, raising his glass towards me.I did not reall
Miss Kardashian's POV "We are sorry, Miss Kardashian, but we would like to let you know that we have no desire to oppose Miss Evie as the future Luna." One of the Elders, the one who was chosen to share the news with me, said to me.My eyes flashed anger at the man. So, they had all chosen to defile me at the end of the day?"You don't care if I tell the Alpha your wrongdoings?!" I screeched at him."Even if you threaten us, we still won't stand with you. Alpha Damon is changing into a more humane person, and we all know it is because of Miss Evie. And you want us to chase her away? Why? So we can resume the reign of terror you pushed the Alpha to do when you were still his favorite?" He countered back.I raised my hand to slap him but his words stopped me."If you slap me, I won't hesitate to do the same. You can't report to the Alpha as you are no longer in favor with him." He said with a knowing smile. "Delusional woman like you should get something else to do and not rely on a ma
Alpha Damon's POV The Elders had all called for an emergency meeting the second day after I announced Evie as my mate. I didn't know what the motive of the meeting was, but I was at peace because I knew that we were not under any attack.Still, I knew that whatever it was that they wanted to discuss so urgently that they had to summon me had to be something that was very important or they wouldn't have done that. I would know once I got to the meeting hall."Let's hurry up," I told Samuel. Stephan was not with us as he went to check out a trail about the former managing director that I fired from my company, who went awol on the people I sent to capture him."Yes, Alpha." My Gamma responded.We got to the meeting hall and saw that all the Elders were already present. However, when they saw me, most of them became uncomfortable. It was so bad that I spotted sweat on the foreheads of two of them, while another one seemed to be sweating all over. Somehow, I felt that whatever it was tha
