Evie's POVThe fact that I was tied up with chains like an animal did little to nothing in disorganizing me. I didn't know if it was because it was something that I had already expected or because it was something I was used to.The only thing that was currently pissing me off was not knowing why I was tied up. I wanted to know the crime these people were accusing me of this time. But then, none of them - neither Miss Kardashian nor Alpha Damon - came over to shout at my head and ask me why I did what I did. I wouldn't be so surprised if I later found out that I had done nothing to warrant the hatred they were setting me up for.But I did do something. Somehow, I knew that I must have done something that brought this fate upon me. A part of my memory was gone. All I remembered was the time when I saw a knife, then when the Alpha ordered me to be taken to the prison. Whatever happened in between those two moments was gone from my memory like a puff, exactly the same way I could not re
Damon's POV The three of us - I, my Beta, and my Gamma - were still facing each other off, waiting for who would break the battle of stares that we had involuntarily started when someone knocked just once. Before I could give my permission for the person to come in, a guard busted in, panting and sweating as if his life depended on whatever reason made him barge in. And maybe his life did since I wouldn't be sparing him if he didn't have enough reasons to justify his action."Explain yourself right now!" My Beta shouted at the guard. Beta Stephan was known for his strict ways. I couldn't even tell who was stricter between myself and the man. "Are you deaf? Explain yourself!" Gamma Samuel shouted at the man also. I could tell that the reason for the Gamma's action was because of how he was troubled for Evie though. "I... I... Beta..." The guard stammered, taking in deep short breaths to regain his composure. "If you don't start speaking up this instant...!" I let the rest of my wor
Evie's POV The moment I broke free from the prison wall that held me bounded to a spot, I raced for the woods. The forest was one that didn't have many guards around. As a matter of fact, I didn't spot a single guard as I made my way through the thick and dense forest.Of course, I could understand why little to no security was given to the place. There were too many rocks and hills and big trees that has large branches and deep roots situated around for any sane person to try to go over them.Since I was trying to cross over them, I deemed myself as someone that was not in my right frame of mind either. How could I when I was trying to survive? When I was trying to fight for my life and my ultimate survival. I ignored the branch that slapped my thigh roughly as I climbed another form of hills. My breaths became raspy and shaky from too much climbing but I couldn't let that deter me.I had to leave the pack. If I didn't now, there was a high chance that I would never be able to do th
Damon's POV.I stalked toward where the stone that hit me came from. It was one of the places where I and my people had strategically placed a man-made cave to blend with the rest of our environments.Even though I didn't turn back to look at the guards with me, I could hear their footsteps as they followed after me. A part of me wanted to turn around and not walk to the cave, thinking that it might be some kind of plot from whoever the intruder was just to distract my mind. If that were the case, I realized that I might be giving away one of our sheltered locations to the person.But what if it was not a hoax? Another voice battled within me. What if it was not a ploy to distract me and I walked away? That meant that I just lost the opportunity to get whoever the spy was. That was one chance that I was not willing to risk no matter how tiny the chance was.I knew that whether this was real or not, this particular cave was already at risk. If it was real, then the intruder already dis
Damon's POV My mind couldn't comprehend how it was possible. How could my guard - my personal guard at that- be the one to shoot an arrow at me without any regard for my life? Now, I knew why Leo was very angry with the man and had wanted to kill him at a glance. Worse, the arrow he shot at me had killed the guard who took the blow immediately.If that was the only charge against the man, perhaps I might have been lenient. But, in the cave where we found the man and Evie, the guards and I discovered that they had stored weapons and ammunition meant for war at the hole they dug in the cave also.The thought that there were betrayals in my camp made me nervous. For the first time since I ascended the throne of the Alpha, I became unsure of myself and how I thought I was doing a good job at being an Alpha.My own personal guard? The one who knew about where I went to? When I slept and woke up? Things I did and would do? Yet, he betrayed me?Even though I couldn't understand everything t
Damon's POV As I left the place where I just finished punishing Aiden, I went straight to where Evie was kept captive.When I saw her, she was looking so lifeless, I was afraid she was already dead. Although I knew she wasn't. If she was, the mating bond would have pulled at my heart and I would have felt like dying. But then, I remembered that she was not given any food or water to drink when I first had her locked up, and that was five days ago. It has already been two days since the commotion of the invader happened.My eyes turned gold, then black as Leo and I began to struggle over dominance. I knew he wanted to be out because he hated seeing anything that would hurt the girl in front of me. But I couldn't give him that authority. Apart from the fact that people would see and they would start gossiping around, this was the same girl that had plotted my death with evil people. There was no way I would forgive her so easily.But then, I still needed to calm my wolf down, or he wou
Damon's POV I folded my hands on the table and rested my head on the space in between them. The heavens knew that I was tired. I was tired of myself. I was tired of my pack and not knowing who was going to betray me in the next second. I was tired of never thinking about anything other than work. And most especially, I was tired of being mated to a girl who knew nothing and just wanted me dead.Worse, I had allowed Leo to take over my body. And what had happened? He made me kiss that human girl. Just thinking about it disgusted me so much. I moved my hands to my lips and brushed at them severally as if that would erase the horrible memory away from my head.But it didn't. It kept replaying and replaying no manger how hard I tried to stop it. It was a good thing I sent the guard away before my wolf took over completely. Otherwise, I would have ended up being the entire pack's gossip source. *She gave in too. It means she likes us,* Leo said in my head.I winced at the excitement that
Damon's POV "Alpha! Alpha!" A guard yelled from the corridor. Gamma Samuel and I stood up at once, afraid that another intruder got in or that we were even under an attack."What is it? Speak up!" Gamma Samuel asked the guard immediately after he came in.I was ready to mind-link the Beta to return home immediately if we were truly under attack."The prisoner fainted!" The guard dropped the bombshell."Which prisoner?" I asked solemnly."The human girl." "What?!" The Gamma shouted. He looked at me, looked at the guard, then raced out of the office. The guard that came with the news followed after him, and I was left alone.I sat back on the chair. My head returned to between my palms and I became lost in thought. Do I really want to see her dead? The answer that came to my mind was no. Even though I hated her, I didn't want her to die, and neither do I wish for her death. Perhaps, my Gamma was right, and all I had to do was reject her and throw her out of my pack. She was a human,
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
