The next morning, Alpha Evan woke me up bright and early to begin my training. Apparently, according to him, my wolf was weak as hell and I needed to train to strengthen myself. Of course, no one expected me to become a warrior or anything like that, but both him and I wanted me to be able to at least defend myself should the need ever arise. "Again," Alpha Evan said, making me groan. "I thought that it was my wolf that needed training, not my human form," I complained loudly even as I picked up the dumbbells, readying myself for another set. "No offence, kitten, but I can snap you like twig if I wanted to. I want you to at least be able to defend yourself on the off chance that something happens and I'm not there to protect you," Alpha Evan explained, not even breaking a sweat as he bench pressed weights that were almost twice my entire body weight with ease in his indoor gym. It was extremely distracting and almost hypnotising the way his muscles tensed and relaxed as he exerci

I watched silently, tears streaming down my face as the small room I had called home burnt to ashes right in front of me. But it wasn't the site of the burning room which was making me cry, no. It was the sight of Miss Lillian and Raymond crying like anything right in front of it that was making my heart feel like it was being ripped out of my chest slowly and painfully. They thought that I had died. They couldn't see me because of a magical spell Alpha Evan had put on me but I could see and hear everything just fine. It was late at night when I finally made it to my room, exhausted to the bone after the day's work when I noticed Alpha Evan sitting on my bed as if he owned the place. For a moment, I'd thought that my tired mind was playing tricks on me. Because he had already left, hadn't he? How could he be there? But even after I blinked several times and rubbed at my eyes to clear them, he was still there, looking amused as ever as he stared at me. "What the hell?" I'd finally

The next morning when I woke up, bright sunlight was streaming in through the cracks in the floor to ceiling windows and the sunroof on the ceiling was closed as well. Alpha Evan was missing from the room as well. I briefly wondered what time it was as I got up and made my way to the bathroom to freshen up. Once I was done, I made my way downstairs, looking for Alpha Evan. I found him sitting on the kitchen island, looking freshly showered, dressed casually in a off white v-neck and dark wash jeans and reading some important looking papers. I briefly wondered how someone could make something so casual look so utterly sexy. Before I could dwell on it much, though, he spoke up, "So sleeping beauty is finally up.""Sleeping beauty, huh? Whatever happened to kitten?" I asked, strolling closer to him. "My kitten was taking way too long of a nap so she's been promoted to sleeping beauty now," he muttered dryly, still not taking his eyes off of whatever it was that he was reading."What

"I'd have to experience it first to know if I can put it up there with other good things on the list," I blurted out without putting much thought into it. It was when Alpha Evan's eyes widened almost comically that I realised what I had just spoken and I nearly face palmed myself. My cheeks heated up anew, probably turning an even brighter shade of red than before. Goddess, what was wrong with me? How could I say something like that? That too in front of Alpha Evan? I was so embarassed I couldn't even look at him straight. "Melody?" Came his oh so delectable voice. Reluctantly, I looked at him, not wanting to see his pitiful expression. What twenty six year old had never had sex in their life? I opened my mouth, ready to defend myself but one look at his face and I promptly shut my trap. The expression he was giving me right then could only be described as one thing- desire, that too in it's rawest, most unadulterated form. I'd seen men look at other women like that, like they

As I entered the kitchen, ready to plate the food I was supposed to take to Alpha Evan, a large body bumped into mine, sending me careening behind me into a pile of dishes. The ceramic fell to the floor behind me with a resounding thud, breaking into a hundreds of pieces, the sound so loud that pretty much everyone had stopped what they were doing to look at me. "What the hell, Melody?" Michel's voice boomed in the silence that ensued as I struggled to get up from the floor without hurting myself. My hand had only just healed from the previous incident with the broken champagne glasses and the last thing I wanted was another cut. I looked up to see who had pushed me, only to see that it was Laurent, one of the pack's gammas sneering down at me. He and Nick were the best of friends and often took turns trying to humiliate or hurt me. It was their definition of fun. I had thought that after the incident Nick had had with Alpha Evan at the gala, they wouldn't bother me anymore. And w
