Evelyn

The memories from my last two years haunted me like ghosts, coming uninvited in my dreams and waking hours. It often awakened me in the middle of the night, gasping for air, my sheets drenched in sweat. The faces of my former best friend, Carrie, and my ex-boyfriend, Eric, were etched in my mind; their cruel laughter echoed in my ears, their taunts still ringing in my ears.

I lay there in the darkness, feeling their presence like a weight on my chest, and I longed to outrun the pain, the humiliation. I wanted to be free of them and their smoke-filled laughter, and I tried to tell myself to just forget it, but I could never forget. The memories were too vivid, too real. They were like a fog that followed me around, clouding my judgment and holding me back. As if I was still in the nightmare, and there was no escape.

It happened all over again last night, but I found solace in something. One of the fluffiest pillows on planet earth embraced me. The scent was a mix of cocoa and ja

    Chapter 7 EvelynI was still on edge from the nightmares I had had that night. No amount of conversation with my father had got rid of the anxiety. I wasn't sure if I had convinced myself or my father more than before.The nightmares refused to be forgotten, and I was in a constant state of anxiety. My heart raced as I thought of him: Eric. It was too soon; I hadn't even healed. Everything I'd thought I had with him, our relationship, my friendship with Carrie; all of it had been a lie. What kind of person would do that? What kind of evil person would try to destroy me like that?My heart was beating so fast. It couldn’t be, could it? The thought of seeing Eric again made me sweat. I couldn’t stand it.It seemed to take an eternity before my dad finally made his way to the door. As he opened it, I couldn't bring myself to breathe. He had opened the door without a peep, like it was an ordinary day. But I couldn't stand in the dark any longer. I worked up the nerve and dared a glance p

    Jake There is a rogue in our territory. And It’s fast. The ancient mountains that tower over the land are also the boundaries of our territory. The wide and deep lakes has the same function. The land itself seem to recognize this division, as if it had been so for a very long time, perhaps since the beginning of time. This was our territory, and it was ours alone. We protected it fiercely, patrolling the perimeter daily and patrolling the interior every few days. This was the legacy of our pack, and we accepted this duty of protection with the utmost seriousness. The terrain of our land was diverse and beautiful. We had vast forests full of evergreens, towering mountains, clear lakes, and meadows filled with wildflowers. We roamed these lands with pride, knowing that we were the chosen ones tasked with safeguarding this sacred place. The pack had been hunting for the rogue for nearly an hour now. They had tracked it to the border of our eastern territory, and now they could see it

    Chapter 9EvelynReclining in my bedroom, I could make out the distant sound of some approaching cars. I highly doubted anyone was coming to see me and I had no desire to venture downstairs to greet them. A mild sensation of hunger briefly tugged at my stomach, but it was not strong enough to prompt me to leave my bed.I received a concerning message from my mother earlier this morning, telling me to be patient and that soon she and my father would explain it all. Something was happening, and I wasn't sure what it was. They were talking in riddles, and I hadn’t the energy to do anything more about it right now.The sound of the vehicles grew louder, and I strained my ears to catch any conversations below. I heard the voices of my father, arguing in hushed tones with someone on the phone probably, but could not make out the words.Suddenly, the sound of car doors slamming shut and engines revving cut through my thoughts. It sounded like there were several more cars coming. That was une

    Chapter 10EvelynJakes concern comforted me, but it didn’t erase the concern I held in my heart. I didn’t think anything could help me. I was clutching my phone, and suddenly it buzzed with an incoming mess. The previous calmness vanishes, and the surrounding air suddenly is thick and heavy. I have difficulty catching my breath, and it trapped words inside my head. Jake put his arms around me, knowing I need the comfort as warmth enveloped me. But I felt utterly alone in a vacuum, and I had lost my way. My heart races as I struggled to find the right thing to say, yet my throat was dry, and no sound emerged.Jake gently places his palm over my face, gazing into my eyes. I am suddenly filled with a sensation of sparks, desire and fireworks going off within my body. First calmness and now fireworks. The world seems to stop as I look into his eyes, searching for answers. He holds my gaze for what seems like an eternity.His lips curves into a slight, yet knowing smile, and my heart race

    Chapter 11EvelynI expected my father to say something more, but he didn’t. He is standing there like a statue, his eyes burning with unspoken rage, his mouth clamped shut. I am the one to break the silence with a desperate plea.“Dad, please tell me. Tell me what I need to know. I don’t understand.”I begged him to explain why he was so angry, but he didn't add a single word to his statement. Instead, he simply stood there and stared at me, as if waiting for me to understand on my own. When I don’t seem to get the message, he stands up and leaves the room. After a moment, he returns and examines the area with a stern gaze. Unsure of what he is looking for, I observe him in complete silence. What in the world is going on?“Dad..?” His erratic behavior is creeping me out. This is not the father I know and love. But it feels like his anger is not directed fully towards me. I glance around the room and the others seem to have locked their gaze on my father, or Mr. Black, as they would c

    Chapter 12JakeMy wolf was going insane. Someone had hurt our mate and, by the looks of it, they had done so badly. She was shaking with adrenaline after her phone had gone off, and I didn't like that. Our mate shouldn’t have to be afraid.I felt an overwhelming need to comfort her and to tell her that no man besides me was even worthy of her thoughts. She was my girl, and I would do anything to protect her.I stepped closer and wrapped her in my arms, draping her slender frame tightly against me. She trembled in my arms for a moment and then relaxed into me."It's okay," I whispered, holding her close. "No one will hurt you. Not while I'm here. I won't ever let anything bad happen to you again," I promised.My wolf sang with joy and satisfaction, knowing that our mate was safe and in our arms. I would do anything to keep her safe, and I would let no one hurt her again. The beast within me wanted to take control, to throw her over my shoulder and carry her up to her bedroom and do wi

    Chapter 13EvelynEverything about Jake seems so intense — from the way he walks to the way he looks at me. His gestures and movements make it seem as if he's holding onto something fragile. Though I'm not in love with him, I must admit I find him attractive. It's strange that my dad would let him stay at our home; it’s almost like having a babysitter around. His reaction to my ex texting was peculiar too — it was like he was concerned or something. There’s a lot going on that I don't understand yet; even my mom knows something, but she’s not even here.Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room shifts and I can’t catch my breath. Something has sucked all the oxygen out of the air, replacing it with a thick, noxious poison. My chest is tight and I'm gasping for air, but I can’t seem to take in enough. I'm losing consciousness as my vision narrows, and eventually I fall to the ground. My mind slips into a realm of nothingness.The last thing I see is a figure looming over me.The room shift

The night had descended upon us without us even noticing. We were so caught up in the moment and all the urgent matters that we had to deal with in our wolf's form we had forgotten how much time had passed. That happens when you shift into a wolf.I slowly go up to Chloe. My brothers are still doing their last rounds and looking out for any signs of danger. I'm not sure how Chloe explained the last debacle to Evelyn, but judging from her expression, I don’t think it went very well.I curse to myself.Chloe looks at me, her expression unreadable. "Evelyn didn't seem so happy when I was trying to explain to her about what happen." She tells me. Her voice is steady, but I can hear the faintest sound of disbelief and regret.“It’s not your fault, Chloe. The situation needed our immediately attention. I should have helped

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'

    Chapter 34EvelynThe entrance into the world of werewolves and lycans brought a mysterious sort of enchantment. It was impossible to explain it with mere words. 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 felt like I finally belonged, especially after discovering this world and meeting my soulmate.I had thankfully donned a dark blue summer dress and some sneakers, so that I could keep up with Jake’s breakneck speed.

    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 —

    Chapter 31EvelynJake entered our lodge, and he had some words with my sister. 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. A wave of healing washes over me as I watched the two of them, two people who were fated to be together, despite all the hurt and pain they would be facing.The sight before me was both beautiful and heartbreaking. Two people who were meant to be together, but only for a

    Chapter 30EvelynI kept myself busy enough that I didn't have to think too much about everything that had happened over the last couple of weeks. I had so many questions and I was in no position to hunt them down. Jake was still following me, his eyes on me, but I refused to turn around. I had an idea of what he desired to discuss, but I was not prepared for it.My dad had tried to explain to me that Jake was hurting too, but I couldn't understand it. I wasn't ready to embrace him just yet, and I didn't acknowledge all the new information they provided me. All I wanted to do was get through the school days and get back home.The only thing I could do was concentrate on my studies because I was so exhausted. I attended classes, took notes, and tried to stay away from Jake. I knew he wouldn't give up so easily, but I could at least postpone our conversation. As I walked to my next class, I felt like I was in a trance, going through the motions and pushing away all my worries. And so, i

    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

    Chapter 28EvelynMy father sat me down on the old leather sofa. It was black, with soft cushions scattered across it, providing a certain comfort, a sanctuary from the world. 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 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

  • WOLFMAN- Jake & Evelyn   Chapter 26

    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
