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
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
Evie P.O.V By the time I came to, I saw that I was lying on the front in front of a small building. "Where am I?" I asked the two women who were staring at me. "You are awake? Get up then." One of them replied harshly. I quickly did as I was instructed. They left me to a small bathing house where I took my bath. I was given some clothes to change into and a warm bath. After that, I was led by the duo towards one of the buildings. The building was just like the rest of the buildings in a bad state, in this section of the village. I felt nauseous because of the smell coming from the building. They led me into the building and took me to a room in the building. The room was badly furnished. There was almost no furniture in the room. There was only a mattress on the floor, a reading table, and a chair. The walls of the room had cracks and I could see the roaches that would occasionally poke out their head from the holes and go back in. “This is your quarter. From now on, you are go
Evie P.O.V Despair and confusion had been my companion ever since I was abandoned in the section assigned to the slaves. Working as a slave was pretty exhausting. The harsh words and the insults were things I would never get accustomed to, but I knew I was thicker than my skin and I deserved a proper explanation from Damon about why I was brought in here as a slave when I wasn't in any way affiliated to the Wolves. I tugged the strand of hair that fell on my face behind my ear as I beat the beautiful Persian carpets with a club till there wasn't a speck of dust found in them. Ever since my encounter with Miss Kardashian, she had taken it upon herself to maltreat Miss Aurora and I. Most espespecially me. Miss Kardashian had specifically assigned Miss Aurora and I to her building, where she had the authority to exert force on the two of us without being questioned. She would heap chores upon chores for us and would make us redo the chores till we were worn out and on the verge of c
Damon's P.O.V My heart sank in my stomach as I followed the scent that made my inner wolf growl aggressively. Every step I took made my heart shatter into pieces as her scent pulled me further.I was only doing this for my inner wolf, only for him.It was barely three minutes before I stepped out of my room and my wolf began to growl within me. I had no idea why but he would not stay still which made me bothered."Leo," I tried communicating with him countless times, but he would not respond. I ignored it anyway and continued to work on the study where I wanted to check on some documents.My Beta, Stephan, had dropped loads of files that according to him needed approval. If the files were possibly what he could handle, then I would have left it. But sadly, it was not.A dispute had been going on about the Lumber mill that belonged to me.Alpha River of the moonlight pack had the mind to say it belonged to him. The only reason I had not devoured him was because I was certain my actio
Evie POVI sat without uttering a word after Damon's tantrums. I was already used to the pain and the scolding. The harsh tunes weren't new either. Even if at some point it became unbearable, I always found a way to keep my emotions at bay and get past all the trouble. The last thing I would want was for any of them to see me succumb to their maltreatment. Damon just stood watching as I stared back at him with my expressionless face. He probably expected me to cry and beg him for mercy and forgiveness, but my reaction to his words and actions were totally unexpected and surprising. I saw him arch his brows in surprise, and bend his lips in disgust. To him I was trash, and all trash was expected to do was bend and succumb to whatever the master had to say or what the master desired. I could see in his eyes the burning desire to torture and hurt me the more, but unfortunately he had ran out of options. The beatings and words were simply not effective, and I was already used to the har
I woke up with a start. My face swelled and beads of sweat decorated my forehead, running down my cheeks to the hollow of my neck and finally to my chest area, where it seemed all the water pulled. My night dress was drenched in sweat, and it clutched to my chest like my second skin.I shivered uncontrollably and had to wrap my hands around myself to keep my emotions at bay.I just had a dream. It was more of a nightmare. I kept seeing people chasing me about in a forest. No matter how frantically I ran, they refused to give up. Then, they caught up with me and kept asking about the thing. When I didn't say anything, I was beaten up. Just as quickly, the dream changed to me hiding behind some sort of desk. A man stood close to the place where I hid. He had a knife in his hand... a knife that was dripping with blood.As much as I tried to control my emotions and find a way to wake up, I couldn't do it.The nightmare morphed and I saw myself in the room of the man that molested me. The
8.Damon's POV.I could feel it in my bones. Something that truly felt like fear, mixed with regret. It was so strong in my heart that I could barely breathe.I tried to ignore it and focus on the paperwork I was going through. The sense of fear in my heart increased and I had to clutch my chest from fear that it was going to rip out and burst into several tiny pieces.What the hell was going on? I wondered as beads of fear clustered on my forehead, quickly drenching me till my shirt clung to my body. My body ached and I doubled over from how intense the pain was.Even though I tried to tell myself that the pain was nothing but a mirage of my thought, I knew it wasn't so.The pain I was feeling was the pain that came with the mating bond. It always appeared when one's mate is in danger and one made no attempt to do anything to rescue them.How dare Evie make me go through so much pain? How dare a mere human like her make a man like myself experience hell on earth?I stood up from the

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
