Evvie’s POV:I nodded and ordered a large iced matcha latte. Curious with the taste. I thought since I used to order their signature coffee when I was still with Zach, I should try something new.After paying, I headed straight to the corner. Unfortunately, the only vacant table was located at the corner by the glass window. Right where I could see Zachary openly feed his pregnant fiancé. I gulped but headed there anyway. I decided to just ignore them and try not to look their way. It had two seats. No matter which one I take, I’d have a perfect view of the sickly sweet couple across me.Stifling a groan, I forced my ass down and focused on my new latte. I took a sip and felt my eyes roll to the back of my head. It tasted so good.Maybe my day wouldn’t be so bad after all, I thought, trying to gaslight myself.Thirty minutes later, a petite woman with defined curves and strawberry blonde hair plopped down on the seat across me.It was Pixie.“Hi, again.” Her smile reached her big, car
Zachary’s POV:“What do you think of this?” Brenda asked me, batting her eyelashes.She wore a white long gown that made her look like a princess for the ceremony tonight. I tugged my lips and forced a smile.“You look beautiful.”“Just not as beautiful as mate.” Duncan howled. I made no attempt to retort against him knowing full well it was true.Evvie is the most beautiful and attractive woman I ever met, even before realizing she was my mate. Her beauty is comparable to a goddess’. With her long, silky black hair and stunning silver eyes, I can’t deny Evvie is indeed rare.On the other hand, Brenda is a red head with brown eyes. Her skin tanned to perfection and with a slightly shorter height than my mate. She is so small, and I can’t believe she’s carrying my pup.It was a mistake. I was stupid.One night, and it ruined everything I had with Evvie. Evvie was my world. The woman I was prepared to marry. Mate or not. She’s my soulmate, and I never would have chosen anyone else over
Evvie’s POV:“Oh no. No, no, no!” I shook my head at the sexy black evening gown the sales lady was holding up to me.“What’s wrong with it?” Pixie hurried over, as if to see what commotion I was starting in the establishment.“Uhm, nothing?” I turned to her.There isn’t a single problem with the dress, really. The problem is me.“I’m not wearing that.” I said with finality, pointing at the devil.“It’s the latest design. I think it will suit you.” The sales lady commented, and I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. Well isn’t that telling something? Anything suits me as long as it pays them.“Evvie, I know this isn’t your usual style, but I promise, it’s not too bad to try something new.” Pixie encouraged me.I glared down at the dress and sighed.“I’ll try it, but that doesn’t mean I’m wearing it to the ball.” I huffed, turning around and heading off to the dressing room.The sales lady and my little friend Pixie both squealed in delight, and I shook my head but chuckled lightly.I gu
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
