Chapter 25

Evelyn

Eric’s words were harsh and controlling. He spoke of marriage as if it was his right to possess me, and as if carrying on an affair with Carrie was the most natural thing in the world. He had no guilt and no empathy. It filled me with a strange sensation that I was speaking to a lunatic.

He continued speaking, his voice growing louder, but his words becoming increasingly garbled. My heart raced and my legs shook as I my stomach turned. I had to get out of there. I had to escape the situation and his controlling words.

Any remorse I had over leaving Eric without saying goodbye had disappeared. The man he had portrayed himself as - loyal and empathetic - was nothing more than an empty facade. His words and promises were false, and his behavior was selfish and untrustworthy. I had to get away from him.

We were still standing outside his car, an old green chevy that had seen better days, although he had always taken care of it well. The thought of getting in the car with

    Chapter 26EvelynI was fumbling my way through the dense forest in what I thought was the right direction. On this airless, still dark morning, the trees seemed to be a hundred stories tall, and looming in the darkness, they seemed to whisper secrets and stories that I did not understand. Although I felt like someone or something was watching me, no matter how hard I tried, I could never quite catch sight of it. My steps were heavy and unsure, but somehow I kept going, propelled by an unknown force that guided me.As I trudged onwards, the presence became more and more palpable, and I should have been scared, but inexplicably, I wasn’t. I had just escaped from a kidnapping, and all the long days and nights filled with adrenaline had finally taken its toll on me. But, strangely, instead of feeling exhausted, I felt recharged and alive, in more ways than one. I uplifted my fatigue, replaced it with a new aliveness that came from within me. It was as if some part of me had awoken from a

    Chapter 27JakeYesterday was overwhelming. I expected to go to battle to search for my mate, but I abandoned that plan. Instead, I joined forces with my father, brothers, and a handful of pack mates and we set off into the forest to seek Evelyn.But something happens. Well, someone happens. A presence emerged and took in charge of the situation. It was no stranger, in fact, in was Evelyn’s father.The tall, imposing figure of Evelyn's father materialized in the forest, his presence cutting through the stillness of the night like a hot knife through butter. In the dim moonlight, his features were sharp and angular, like a majestic eagle in flight. The stern, dark eyes peered around the forest with a piercing intensity, as he seemed to take in and assess every detail of his surroundings. He was a Lycan. It suddenly made sense. Mr. Black was a Lycan, but he was also a powerful leader and protector amongst the werewolf community and his power radiated from him like an unspoken promise.J

As I looked around the living room in the small cottage, I had a compulsive desire to scrub and tidy, as if I was avoiding something by doing so.Whatever my father wanted to discuss, I knew, as soon as I saw my father's eyes, that this was something big.The room had an oppressive silence that seemed to hang over us like a heavy, invisible blanket of tension.The room was deathly quiet now that everyone had left. I sat alone on the sofa, my hands fidgeting in my lap, an anxious knot forming in my stomach. He had instructed everyone to leave, and they obeyed without question.I saw Jake as he made his way out of the door. He was the last to leave, and our eyes met for a split second before he turned away. His gaze filled with sadness, as if he was sorry for me. But sorry for what?“Evelyn,” my father spoke slowl

    Chapter 29JakeIt had been fourteen days since I last spoke to Evelyn. Our conversation left her shocked, and I really couldn't fault her for feeling that way. Her parents, not disclosing details about her past, were a true hurdle for her, and I struggled to comprehend how people could hold back such essential facts. He told me his motives were serious and vital. But still.I had hoped that we would resolve things during our time away from each other, but it had left us both in a state of confusion. We had texted, and I had called her several times.Sitting alone in our pack house, I attempted to make sense of the seemingly senseless. I still could not answer the question of why someone would withhold such vital information from their own child, and soon discovered that the only way forward was to travel to the source and get answers.They silently greeted me each time I attempted to visit their home. Not her father, but Evelyn. She wouldn't even look me in the eye. Her father merely

When I hear a wolf howling, my sisters’ gasps and I watch a tearful union of a new couple of fated mates- Harper and Allison.There were laughs, tears but also joy.It was replaced later by a deep sense of understanding and compassion, the kind only two people who have endured many of life’s trials and tribulations together can understand. Tears streamed down their faces as they embraced each other, both overcome with emotion.As I looked, my own emotions swell up within me. I realized that life was too short to be consumed by anger and bitterness, that sometimes it was necessary to forgive the ones we love and move forward with our lives.

    Chapter 33JakeSince Evelyn welcomed me as her partner, life had become much simpler. I could sleep, eat and function normally now. Her family generously allowed me to stay with them in their home. How fortunate for me! This positive relationship we share has made everything easier. Hearing about Allison's health struggles shocked me. She had been born with this illness, but it got much worse after she turned sixteen.That was awful, but I wondered about how her sickness had gotten worse after her sixteenth birthday. Werewolves can sense their mates at sixteen, but they have been smelling scents since birth because it's difficult to track down their mate. It can take time for the werewolf gradually to recognize who their mate is, at least until they turn 16.I quizzed Harper about Allison, and he told me he was familiar with her scent. It was strange, as they had never met before. This got me to thinking: what if her ailment had something to do with mates? What if she had two mates —

The strength of the mate-bond astounded me; it felt almost like I had become one unified entity with another being. Initially, this sensation left me confused, but as each day went by, I grew more accustomed to it, as if I had always belonged in this society.Jake gave me something to think about when he told me the story of a legendary werewolf with two mates: one that brought life, and another that took it away. It seemed far-fetched, but it gave us ideas on how to address Allison’s health concerns. Ever since I came back to Bluehills—the home of my ancestors—I had more strength and abilities.

I, however, had a different feeling entirely. I felt a pang of anxiety as Allison began to answer Evelyn's questions about her dating life. Harper appeared unfazed, but I had a bad feeling about something. It wasn't the name Dylan that caused my trepidation, it was his last name- Broadhall- that brought forth several warning bells in my mind.Wait," I said, cutting into the conversation. "Dylan Broadhall?"Allison shifted nervously and nodded. Harper looked at me curiously, evidently unaware of the unnamed fear that had been triggered in me.I hadn't seen Dylan in years, and the last thing I wanted was to start rumors about him. I tried to find the right words to convey the warning without going into too much detail.It seemed as if a rogue was roaming the lands trying to get Allison. But this wasn'
