… Eva's pov…As I was leaning out the window, lost in my thoughts, I heard footsteps approaching the door. Panic set in, and I quickly left the window, surveying the room to make sure everything was in order. I hastily pushed my old clothes that I wore earlier to a corner and headed towards the door. I opened the door halfway, and then I saw those hazel eyes that knew how to Pierce deep into me, I realized that I had forgotten to ask who it was, but it was already late. Before I could utter a word, the door was pushed open, and he entered the room, locking the door behind him. My heart started racing, and I stepped back a bit terrified. What he was doing here, I could only wonder. “You…” I stuttered, my voice trembling. I'm confused. He was wearing a long sleeved white shirt with a crooked collar on a blue pants. His old habit was still there; his Collar was never in order. “Hello, Eva,” he said, his voice calm and collected. “Long time no see.”I couldn't believe my eyes, Miles? M
… Eva pov…My heart raced as I heard the footsteps coming closer and closer. I exchanged a glance with Miles, but his serious expression only made me want to laugh. “An Alpha indeed,” I muttered under my breath. He sharply turned to me, startling me. He heard me, but he didn't say anything the moment didn't permit.The room was hushed as we both waited using our werewolf senses to hear any sound that might give us a clue as to what was happening. The tension in the air was palpable, and I could feel my palms starting to sweat.Suddenly, the footsteps stopped right outside the door, and my breath caught in my throat. It wasn't Alpha Nate I could tell, so could Miles. “Miss Eva, Mrs Mae needs you to come meet her in an hour," a female voice said . It was a maid. I deeply let out a sigh of relief.”My heart was still racing from the tension-filled moments we had just experienced, and now Miles was standing in front of me, asking for a response to his proposal. I tried to brush it off,
… Alpha Nate's pov…“I said, what are you going to do about your so-called bride?”“Uhmmm…about that…”You heard me the first, right? She smirked, interrupting me. I sat up to look her in the eye.“I… “ I began, but I was tongue-tied. I didn't know what to say. I haven't thought of this.“Let's forget about this,” I sighed. The elders have decided, but we are not yet married. “We still might…” I didn't know what I was saying. “Send her away from then, she folded her hands across her chest and leaned back. I rested my head on a pillow and looked up at the ceiling. I couldn't face her.“You aren't saying anything?” she lean forward and rubbed her hands across my chest. I was confused and couldn't look her in the eye. “Send her away for us. You are the Alpha!” She played with the necklace on my neck. This it's beautiful, she said as she dangled it between her fingers. 'This was an opportunity,' I thought, 'I could change the topic with this. '*I inherited a necklace from my family th
… Eva pov…I stepped into the room and was immediately taken aback by the sheer grandeur of it all. It was like a queen's lounge, fit for royalty. The walls were painted in shades of gold and cream, with intricate designs etched into them. The ceiling was adorned with crystal chandeliers, casting a warm glow over the room.In the center of the room was a plush velvet couch, with matching armchairs on either side. A coffee table made of dark mahogany wood stood in front of it, with a vase of fresh flowers placed delicately on top.To the left of the room, there was a small bar, stocked with every kind of drink imaginable. On the other side, there was a grand piano, its glossy black surface gleaming under the soft lighting. Mrs Mae, who sat in a chair that looked like a semi bed had an awkward smile on her face. She was always so put-together and formal, but today she was dressed in fluffy clothes that looked cozy and comfortable. Her hair was pulled back in a messy bun. A maid was sit
… Nate's pov…Nate stepped forward and placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder. “Don't listen to her, Eva,” I whispered softly. “You have a place in this pack, and we will support you.”I felt a warmth spread through my body at his words. It was comforting to know that I had someone on my side. She looked up at me and wondered why I was nice to him. She forced a little smile. I could tell she was nervous, and her gaze was on the crowd. The tension in the room was thick. Why I became outspoken concerning her felt mysterious. But deep down I just felt like protecting her, an intuition. Mrs Mae glanced at us and only smirked. Whatever she said as she crossed her legs. She picked another fruit from the bowl and placed it in her mouth, still looking at us. “You can leave,” I said. She nodded and turned to leave. Nate? She was summoned by me! Mrs Mae gritted her teeth. Go! I said, and she stepped out of the room. When she was out, I took a deep breath and leaned forward in my chair. “Aun
… Eva's pov…As I was walking, I noticed Miles climbing the stairs. Our eyes met, but we didn't say anything. I felt a knot form in my stomach as the memory of our last encounter flooded my mind. But I quickly pushed it aside and continued walking.The maid, Amelia, bowed her head as she greeted Miles. “Beta Miles,” she said respectfully. I couldn't help but notice the deference in her voice, and it made me realize just how much influence Miles had in this household.I followed Amelia's lead and also bowed my head, trying to avoid eye contact with Miles. He looked at me briefly before passing by without a word. I let out a sigh of relief as he disappeared.I turned to Amelia to catch a glimpse of myself, but she still had her head bowed. I couldn't help but feel a little frustrated with her subservience, but I knew it wasn't my place to question it.As we continued walking, I stopped to admire the artistic designs on the wall. The intricate patterns and vibrant colors were breathtakin
… Eva pov…I could feel my frustration bubbling up as I watched Nate's aunt laugh at my expense. I knew I wasn't the best cook, but her condescending attitude was getting on my nerves.“What's the problem?” Nate asked, looking between me and his aunt.I took a deep breath and tried to compose myself. “Nothing's wrong,” I said with a forced smile. “I just wanted to show off my cooking skills.”His aunt snorted. “Cooking skills? You can barely make bacon and eggs. It is not bad though, but even twelve year old Nate could have made this.” She said and laughed more.I gritted my teeth. “Fine. What do you want me to cook then?”Nate looked at me with a mix of confusion and concern. “Eva, you don't have to-”“No, it's fine,” I interrupted, my determination growing. “I'll cook anything she wants.”His aunt smirked. “Alright then. Let's see how you do with a simple pasta dish. And don't embarrass yourself too much.”I rolled my eyes but didn't say anything. Instead, I turned on my heel and ma
...Eva's pov..."Now what's the problem? You looked visibly angry and sad." He asked looking deep into my eyes. I sighed. " It's Mrs Mae, Nate's aunt.""What happened? Do you have any scuffle with Mrs Mae?" I asked. "Not really" he replied under gritted teeth but it didn't seem like it."What is it?" I asked. His eyes turned cold."There is no point knowing," he waved his hands. I wanted to know what had happened with Mrs Mae, but he was being evasive. I didn't understand why he had to keep secrets from me.I opened my mouth to protest, but he silenced me with a kiss. It was unexpected, but I found myself responding to him. I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer. It was a feeling I had never felt before, and it was exhilarating.When we finally broke apart, I looked at him with a mix of confusion and desire. I couldn't believe what had just happened. Miles smiled at me, his eyes twinkling with mischief."I promise I'll tell you later," he said. "But right now, I want t
