Damon's POV I rushed over to her and caught her just as she was about to tumble behind, along with the chair she was bound to. I hissed softly as I looked at the rope that I was sure must be cutting into her skin already. "Samuel, get that woman for me!" I growled in a feral tone, pointing a degrading finger at Rebecca or whatever her name was.She tried to run out, and I saw one of the Omegas - the one that was always with Evie these days - clutched her tightly to keep her in place. I ignored both of them, knowing that Samuel would take care of that. I began to remove the ropes binding her to the chair so she would be free faster, and I would be able to take her to a doctor. Blood stained my hands, and I had to fight the urge not to roll off the head of a certain someone. Miss Aurora came to my side and began to help me untie the rope. Tears were already falling from her face when she saw how the dress Evie wore was soaked with her blood."Is she still breathing?" Miss Aurora sobb
Damon's POV "Alpha!"That single, urgent call made me froze to a spot. "Alpha!" The shriek came again. This time, it was from two to three people with different pitches of voices.Even though I tried to move, I found the task excruciating to achieve. I knew that the desperate call of these people could only mean something bad. As bad as the fact that Evie has just lost her life."Alpha, please!" The doctor shouted again.That jolted me out of whatever had me spellbound to a spot. I turned on my heels and rushed over to the bed as I saw Evie convulsing profusely and the doctor doing something I couldn't understand to get her to stop the act. "What the fuck is going on?!" I yelled, completely losing the little control I had."She seems to be going into a panicking mood." The doctor cried. "Please don't die in me!" He yelled, slapping her by the chin."Do you want to die?!" I hissed at him. The hand he had in midair froze, and he bowed his head. "Don't you dare hit her again." I igno
Damon's POVI trained my golden eyes on the unwanted guest, and the man dared to laugh."Do you want to die?" I asked him, already fisting my hands by my sides."Not unless you want her to die first." Alpha River chuckled at me, moving to stand in front of me. When he got to my side and saw the wound above Evie's chest." He hissed loudly. "What the actual hell?!" His eyes flicked to rainbow colors instantly."Anger would do nothing in this case. She needs a blood transfusion as soon as possible." The doctor said. He went to the tray and brought out a syringe. He went to where Alpha River was and motioned for the man to bring his hand. "Mind if we take your sample, Alpha?" He asked politely."I haven't given you my permission yet!" I scowled."Well, you told me to make sure she survives. This is me making sure." The doctor said without any emotion. He ignored me and drew some blood from River's vein. Once he was done, he handed the filled syringe to the nurse again. "Check if this matc
Alpha River's POV I prayed to the moon goddess that nothing would happen to that woman. If anything did, I wasn't sure if I would be able to cope. For what felt like forever, I was no longer cold during the night. Just the mere thoughts of her were enough to lift me out of whatever dark mood I was in. The nightmare that usually plagued me every time I closed my eyes was almost always disappearing each time I slept with the thoughts of her on my mind.The nightmare was something no one knew of. It was my own demon to fight alone. I intended to do that itself. But thanks to Evie, who was the sunshine of my darkness, I could cope with it without worrying too much about anything else. So, what would I have done if she lost her life?I turned sideways and watched silently as her chest rose and fell as she slept on. Her eyes were no longer flickering about, struggling to choose between staying awake or falling asleep. She was now sleeping."Oh, the drip you are taking is done." The doctor
Evie's POV My body ached. It felt like my entire body had been beaten and battered up with how I felt pain in them all. It was even excruciating to think about opening my eyes as the task felt heavy. My body felt like it had been weighted down by a great force or some bricks. With great effort, I slowly opened my eyes and blinked a few times to adjust to the light. The room where I was in was dimly lit, but I could make out a figure sitting in a chair next to the bed. I blinked several times to make out who was there. No matter how many times I tried, I couldn't tell who it was, though. All I knew was that I recognized the person, but not exactly who it was. The figure lifted their heads, and I was surprised to see that it was Alpha Damon. "How are you feeling?" He asked, concern etched on his face.I tried to speak, but my throat felt dry and scratchy. I cleared my throat repeatedly before I mumbled a barely audible, "not good," out.Alpha Damon nodded his head, almost as if he ex
Evie's POV No matter how hard I grilled the Alpha about where Alpha River was and what happened to him, the man refused to tell me anything. However, I was able to calm down when Miss Aurora and Gamma Samuel visited me at the hospital."The Alpha offered to let him stay for the night as he was grateful that he gave you blood, but Alpha River rejected the offer and went back to his pack. Don't worry too much, though. He got to his pack safely. He made sure to call Alpha Damon every day to ask about you." Miss Aurora informed me."What about Grace and the others?" I asked next."Oh. They are all fine." She answered. But then, she scrunched her face."What is it?" I asked, already feeling nervous. I was suddenly reminded of the Alpha's command of them. "Is the Alpha still not allowing them to eat?!" I yelled. I felt the impact when my chest constricted and pain radiated through my body up to my head, giving me a headache. "Damn!" I said in a low, slow breath when I regained myself."Who
Alpha River's POV I was pathetic, I knew that. I was nothing but a pathetic individual who didn't want to let go of his illusion and obsession. But there was one tiny hope in my heart that if I was patient enough, if I waited long enough for her, then she was going to see that I was the better choice and come over to me.Even as I watched her pale face that seemed like she was going to faint any moment from now if she wasn't forced to lie down right now, my heart was still with her. I wanted nothing more than to take all the pain I knew she must be having and give her everything that made me happy. But how was I supposed to do that when she was the reason for the happiness I had? Was there a way to give someone themselves back as a gift?So, knowing that there was nothing I could do other to remain there for her and show her that I would always be there no matter what anyone said and no matter how they tried to separate us, I made up my mind to finally visit her again after doing my
Alpha Damon's POVI needed to protect her. I needed to protect that woman. Those were the only words that kept running through my mind as I kept watching her even after River left us alone.But how do I protect her?I was skeptical about doing anything to those who wanted to harm her. I first started noticing that people, especially Miss Kardashian, maltreated her each time it looked like I was siding with her in the past. But I couldn't pass the blame on anyone else, knowing that I was the catalyst that ignited such emotion in those people. If I hadn't shown my hatred for her in the first place, none of them would have done such a thing. If I didn't show that I wanted her to suffer, they would have made sure that they didn't cross her path. But I had done all of those things. I wished that I had simply ignored the mating bond between us just as I was doing these days.The reality, however, was that it was hard to ignore the mating bond pull. There were only two ways to get rest from
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
