Eva By the time I was ready, as odd as that sounds, I felt more like myself. If I’d put my guilt aside and just put on my old clothes, I would have felt a lot better. I felt no need in this dress—not significantly anyway—and when I closed my eyes, I felt this rush of…goodness flow through me. It felt like the goddess had forgiven me for what I’d done. I left with Marcia. It was only the two of us in the back of the car. According to her, everyone was already there, and Cyrus had been the first to leave the house. The sound of his name made me shudder, and I asked her not to talk about him. She nodded respectfully and didn’t bring him up again. The sky was darkening quickly. The moon would be full today, and I promised myself that I would take this opportunity to try to do better. I was tired of being needy and desperate for a man’s touch. It was a never-ending madness and only made me realize how much I appreciated being touched by the light of the goddess instead. Our destinati

EvaKissing Cyrus felt heavenly, and I hadn’t regretted the act until now. I didn’t think I could. Being close to him made it hurt less. The ‘heat’ or whatever else it could be called didn’t like being ignored. My defiance made it violent, and for the last hour or so, I’d been in excruciating pain. My body was punishing me for disobeying it and not giving it what it demanded. And then, Cyrus came along, and I felt like the goddess herself had sent him in order to spare me from experiencing so much pain. He’s above me now, grinding against me in a way that makes me moan into his mouth, gratitude flooding me. We’re moving wildly together, like two animals. That we are, but in this human form, we’re more tamed. This felt like shifting. Like making love in wolf form. “Eva,” Cyrus said against my lips, his voice a whisper. “Eva, Eva.”“Do it now,” I begged, my eyes closed at the intensity of the emotions attacking me. “Please. Do it now, Cyrus. Do it now.”I felt his hand on my outer

Eva I came to my senses slowly, and even so, I couldn’t find the necessary strength to open my eyes fully. I groaned and tried to turn on my side. I found that I could. Switching positions made me feel sleepier, but I told myself that I wanted to have at least one look around before drifting off to sleep again. So, I cracked an eye open, and looked around. I was shocked to discover that I was in a very dark place, and when this concerned me so much that I sat up and rubbed my eyes. I stretched my arms above my head and yawned. The feeling was so great. I felt better than I had in a long time. But where was I?I looked around a few times, feeling utterly lost. I tried moving but felt a sharp pain between my legs. I suddenly vividly recalled what Cyrus and I had done, and blushed deeply, my face becoming hot all of a sudden. He’d cured me of that feeling. I didn’t feel it anymore. I now knew that it was gone. Would it come again? I wasn’t sure. But for some reason, I wasn’t worrie

Eva Once inside the apartment, I looked around and saw as much filth as there was outside. The scarred man practically pushed me into a bedroom with a single bed and a single chair propped against the wall. He stood at the door to block the exit and said, “You wait here. Do so quietly because I’m not very patient.”“Why am I here?” I asked in a small voice. I couldn’t find it in me to yell. I was so scared that I could barely find my voice. Also, there was the fear that I’d let go of the front of my dress and expose my breasts. It was a truly awful situation. “What do you want from me?”“You’ll be told everything in due time. He’s coming in a few minutes. Sit down and wait. Don’t make any noise. It’ll only make me gag you, and you don’t want that.”The door was closed abruptly in my face. I looked around the room and despair hit me like a punch to the throat. The room had no window, so I couldn’t peer out of one to take a look at my surroundings. This room was perhaps the cleanest p

EvaI hadn't realized that I had fallen asleep until I heard the door open and sat upright as if I'd never dozed off to begin with. It was Nox who walked into my room, and he looked furious. His rage scared me, because now that I was awake and thinking more clearly since the shock passed, I knew I was potentially in a lot of trouble. This man wanted to kill to prove a point to my father. The tools he would use to do that were still inside the suitcase on the floor. I was locked in this apartment with him with no way of escaping or asking for help. Also, I was at his complete mercy. To make matters worse, we were mates. How, I wondered for the hundredth time, was that possible?"Mate," he said coldly before shaking his head. "I don't understand how that's possible. According to the reports I received, you were my brother's mate, correct?"I could only stare at him. "You would do well to answer the question, Eva," he said in a calm voice, though his facial expression suggested any
