Evvie’s POV’There he stood, my mate. No, ever since he rejected me, he threw that title away. When he chose to lay with that woman who is now clinging to his arm like a damn leech, he threw that possibility away, too.Zachary stood at the center of the grand hall. He looked as handsome as ever in his white tailored suit. The woman in his arms glared at me and I could not resist the smirk that curled on my lips.My heart thundered in my chest but I knew there is no turning back. Our eyes locked, and I already knew by the tight-lipped frown on his lips, that he did not like what I was wearing. At least not in front of everybody.I smiled, taunting him and it seemed to catch him by surprise.His eyes roamed my body head to toe and I did not miss the moment when his eyes flickered black. I quickly averted my gaze, not liking where this is going. It is painfully clear that I am still attracted to him, and my wolf isn’t helping either, flashing me all the dirty things he could possibly do
Evvie’s POV:“Are you alone?” He rasped. I was taken aback by his pure black eyes, gazing deeply into mine.My jaw almost dropped. Shocked at how deep and husky his voice came out.“And so f*cking sexy.” My wolf purred.If it was possible to reach inwardly and slap my wolf out cold, I would. But I have to admit. She was right.Without saying a word, I gave him a nod.A small, sexy smile tugged at his lips and he adjusted his tie.“Good.”I wasn’t sure what he meant, but my wolf was definitely enjoying the sight of this Greek God who towered over me like a damn wall.Strangely, there’s something about him that intrigued me. I just couldn’t point out what. Especially the way he made me feel under his burning gaze.“Would you like to dance?” The words fell from his lips smoothly. Any girl would probably swoon at his feet if he asked her like this. He held out his hand gracefully, for a man who stood a whopping six feet five.My heart thumped like a stampede in my chest. I was not sure wha
Evvie’s POV:She gasped and broke down in tears. I scoffed.People who had heard her extra dramatic gasp turned their heads in our direction. And just like she obviously wanted, a crowd began to form all around us, highlighting me and this shameless woman across the bar.“Look at her, bullying poor Brenda.” I hear them murmur. “Is she that heartless? She’s pregnant.” One grumbled. And my hands clenched into fists.Does she not think I am painfully aware of that?She had slapped me the deal with her pregnancy the day Zachary came back.Yeah, I f*cking know she’s f*cking pregnant. With my mate’s child.But she also knew exactly who she was dealing with when she came to me to flaunt how she snatched my mate before my eyes.The whispering continued to echo in the air as several people passed judgements against me. Some, however, showed nothing but sympathy in their eyes, including Pixie, who now must have realized the truth.Glancing around, I noticed most of the crowd hailed from the Bla
Evvie’s POV:“I’m coming with you.” Our heads snapped towards the door and saw Pixie step into the room.I felt my brows furrow and I rose from the sofa. Goddess knows what giant tornado I went through with my make-up smeared all over my face as I looked at her. She was glowing and insanely beautiful. I on the other hand looked like a dead raccoon. The tears showed no mercy and went above and beyond to make me look even more miserable.Ethan stood abruptly. His eyes wide as he openly gawked at her. His eyes darkening as his wolf threatened to emerge.I wasn’t surprised. After all, Pixie is the most attractive woman ever. She’s lucky I’m not gay, because if I were, I wouldn’t just stand here and let any other man drool at the sight of her. And maybe I wouldn’t have fallen for Zachary, and none of this would’ve happened in the first place.Who am I kidding?I’m the unlucky one.Pixie walked closer. This is where I could have sworn I heard my brother’s heartbeat increase at marathon spee
Evvie’s POV:“So, what do you think?” Pixie tossed a smirk at me. Leaning against a wall nearby, I turned my head to look at her. She was holding two glasses of drink. One was color blue, and my eyes squinted at it.“Tiring.” I answered.She tsked, rolling her eyes. “Oh come on, admit it.”I raised a brow.She pointed her petite frame towards me. Hands on her hips.I let out a sigh and crossed my arms against my chest.“Fine, fine.” I drew in a breath. “It felt pretty good.” I giggled.She curled her lips into a smile.“You’re damn right.” And then she smirked.“Here, drink this.” She handed me the glass with blue liquid.I shrugged and sipped from the glass. After about an hour of dancing and rocking my hips to the beat, my body dripped with sweat. My throat clawed at me, begging for something smooth and cold to run down my system.Once my tongue grazed the ice cold, a sigh left my lips. “Feeling better?” Pixie asked, tilting her head to me.“I think so. What is this?” I queried, sw
Evvie’s POV:“Evvie!” It was Pixie. “Where on earth are you?”The sound of her panicked voice jolted me awake.Her question snapped me back to my reality.To be honest, I had no idea where.Glancing around, it didn’t take me long to realize I was in a hotel.I squinted. The room was all red. Furniture, door frames, the wallpaper and even this bed was colored red.Immediately, I stifled a gasp as realization draped over me like stepping into cold shower in the middle of the night.I was in Zachary’s fucking hotel! The Beta family owned a third of our pack’s businesses which unfortunately includes this one.“Silvercrown Hotel.” I whispered when my eyes raised to look at the sign hanging on the wall across me.“You’re at a hotel?” Pixie’s voice came out loud you’d think she was screaming.Then again, maybe she was.“What hotel?” I let out a nervous laugh. “I’m on my way.” I told her, not wanting her to worry. Or see me in this disheveled state.We were supposed to go back together. Before
Evvie’s POV:The minute I walked into the house, I tiptoed inside and closed the door behind me with a soft click.My legs were shaking, and I gritted my teeth.Does the first time need to be this awful?I peered into the kitchen as the doorway led to the stairs going to my room.Mom and dad were busy cooking something up while flirting with each other. Dad had his arms wrapped around mom while she was cutting up some onions. He leaned in and kissed her neck, making mom blush and slap his shoulder.I rolled my eyes. Although there was nothing new, I felt irritated. Growing up, I would watch them both act so lovey-dovey towards one another, but I never complained.I never thought I would.I always dreamed and wanted the life mom shared with dad.I dreamed of Zachary and I in the exact same position. Cooking together while we flirted, and our kids playing in the living room. But now all I see is Zachary living that life with Brenda. And their unborn child.I shook my head before more of
Evvie’s POV:FIVE YEARS LATER“Move, dickhead!” I spat at the guy who won’t get out of my sight. I was headed to the bar when he and his goons shoved me towards the back.It’s dark. This guy had cornered me so I was pushed against the wall. There were others with him, too. They think I couldn’t see them. But I was bidding my time.The man towered over me. He’s about 6’7 with a face tattoo and golden chains around his neck. He was also, a human. All of them were.“Ohh, she’s feisty.” He chuckled into my neck.I crossed my arms against my bulging breasts, rolling my eyes when his gaze fell to look at them.I wore a cropped leather jacket and a white square tank top underneath. Nothing sort of revealing.I guessed the problem was my breasts. Then again it always have been.“Hey.” I clicked my tongue. “Eyes up here, moron.”He snapped his head back up and glared at me.“Keep calling me names and you’ll be sorry, feisty girl.” And then a grin spread on his face. “I’ll make sure of it when
