Evvie’s POV:The truth.He told me everything.How everything was apparently orchestrated by Gabriel and Brenda from the start. It turns out they were destined mates. A scoff escaped my lips. It’s not surprising that wannabe douchebag of an alpha was mated to that lying, conniving, pretentious bitch. They’re perfect together. It was Gabriel’s plan to blame the pregnancy on him. Hearing that, I wanted to laugh. Still terrified of his father, as always.He told me how it made sense he didn’t remember anything that night. He was drugged, and made a fool of by making him think he slept with her just because she was butt-naked when he woke up lying next to her in bed.I could very well see the way his hands trembled in anger as he recollected the day he found out the truth. It happened over a year ago, and eventually, he moved out. When he finished telling his story, I pulled my teeth over my lower lip, not knowing what to say. Neither opened their mouth to speak, much less bre
Logan's POVABOUT AN HOUR AGO"She called?" I asked as I stared out the window."Yes, Alpha." Ethan, my new Gamma and apparently my runaway luna's brother, answered. "She's finally coming back."A soft smile played on lips."I would very much like to see who this cupcake is in person." Carlos, my loyal beta and right-hand man, commented.I didn't respond but kept a stoic face, despite the headache induced by Tristan jumping up and down in my head.We were headed to the Winter Mist Pack. I had traveled back to my principal Pack, the Shadow Blood Pack, to retrieve some of my belongings and speak to the Alpha-in-charge.Once that was done, I couldn't wait to be back.I waited so long for this moment.Five years ago, I danced with a woman. Raven dark hair, stark silver eyes, and a curvy body I couldn’t forget. She's the whole package.At first, I felt an attraction to her. One I couldn't resist. It didn't feel so strong as to make me think she was my mate, but it was an attraction nonethe
Logan’s POV:STILL IN THE PAST…His eyes scanned me suspiciously. I continued walking, half-expecting him to lurch at me once he realizes I belonged to neither of the packs that gathered here.But he never did as I got back to my room without fail.I know I had no scent. It was the work of a witch that enabled me to enter packs with no ties to the Shadow Blood Pack.I have one mission.Infiltrate the pack, steal their information, then prepare my warriors for ambush.I know I play dirty, but I bet you wouldn’t call it that when you learn all the dirty shit that comes in and out of this pack.The Winter Mist Pack is at the top of my list of packs to ambush and conquer.My name is Logan Reed.I am the Alpha of the Shadow Blood Pack. We are especially known as notorious, ruthless, and vile wolves who move in the shadows before shedding the blood of our enemies. We attack through the darkness the night brought forth, and we always end up gaining the winning hand. Always.
Zachary’s POV:I waited as the slow, grueling seconds ticked by.It was only when she opened her mouth to speak did I let myself breathe.“I don’t know, Zach.” She’d said.I smiled painfully, giving her a nod.“I understand.”Then I whipped around and locked eyes with her.“But I’m not giving up.”I won’t.The goddess gave me this chance.I’m not about to fuck it up.. . .I jumped out of the truck and made my way quickly to the other side, opening the door for her.She gave me a quizzical look. Her beautiful silver eyes I grew obsessed with sparkled delightfully, my heart stopped.My eyes lowered to her lips, parting slightly.Oh how I missed those lips.Right then and there, I wanted to whisk her off her feet and carry her straight to my bed.I wanted to make love to her, despite knowing she’d made love to someone else that night I ran into her in my hotel.The night she disappeared and took my heart along with her.I’d never forgiven myself for letting that happen.But right now, f
Evvie's POV:“Don’t be sad, Evvie.” Zachary, my smoking hot and soon-to-be beta boyfriend, soothed me. I pouted, crossing my arms against my breasts. We were in my room. Seated on my bed, I pursed my lip as Zachary plopped down beside me.“I promise I’ll be back before you know it. I’ll only be gone for a few months.” He said as an attempt to comfort me.“You mean six long, agonizing months of me not being able to see you.” I rolled my eyes, refusing to meet his eyes. “Why can’t they let you use your phone during training?” I grumbled, folding my arms against my breasts.He chuckled and ruffled my hair. “Because we need to focus on training, silly.”I slapped his hand away, shooting him a glare. I hate it when he does that.“Evvie, please. I need to get going in just an hour. I can’t even get a hug?” He pouted like a child. His eyes are too dreamy to resist.Rolling my eyes, I scooted closer and pressed my body against him, giving him a hug.“Hmm.” He inhaled my scent and a smile playe
Evvie’s POV:“Evvie, I can explain.” He barely whispered. And I could see pain in his eyes.But what for? It was all too late.I shook my head. I was at a loss for words when Ethan, my brother who was older than me for two years, blocked Zachary from my sight. His large frame towered over me but for once, I was glad he was taller. Just so I could hide my eyes nearing to burst into tears any second.“You’ve done enough, Zach.” My brother said sternly. He is also the future gamma of our pack. Winter Mist Pack. Zachary the future beta and Gabriel the future alpha.They were the hot trio that filled my high school days with both annoyance and thrill.I was always with them, at first as Ethan’s little sister. Then I became Zach’s good little girlfriend.Until now.“Brother, let me talk to her.” He growled, sounding angry. It appalled me that he had the nerve to be angry in this situation.Ethan shifted his stance, shielding me from him protectively.“I said enough!” he barked.I heard Zach
Evvie’s POV:“Evvie, we need to talk.”Gritting my teeth, I swallowed the lump immediately forming in my throat.Even hearing his deep voice does things to me I can never appreciate at this state.Does the moon goddess take pleasure in f*cking up our feelings even when things get f*cked up? I wondered as I looked into his eyes.“What’s up?” I asked like my heart was not breaking into a million tiny pieces.He pursed his lips. God I hate how I still felt attracted to him despite what he did.I crossed my arms against my chest, vaguely aware of my cleavage exposed through the thin lace dress I was wearing. I had purposely picked out this outfit preparing for this day. Today, I was supposed to give my virginity to him. Mate or not. I have made my decision.But he made his decision too.“Evvie, I don’t want to make this harder than it already is.” He sighed.I glared hard at him. I know what he’s doing.“If you’re here to reject me, do it.” I said through clenched teeth.He looked shocked
Evvie’s POV:“f*ck.” He sighed into my lips. His strong hands trailed down my thighs and lifted me. I wrapped my legs around him, my arms snaking around his neck as I banished all reason to the fact that I was doing nothing wrong. He is my mate, after all.His tongue invaded my mouth and I welcomed it, thrusting my own and tasting the inside of his mouth. I moaned as he sucked on my tongue and I pulled him closer.It felt just right.But like all good things in my life, this one moment I get to share with my mate has to end briefly.“She’s pregnant, Evvie…” He sighed. “I can’t…”He gently placed my feet down, but I was numb all over. Zach hung his head and I pressed my lips into a line, taking in deep breaths as my wolf handed me back the reins out of sheer disappointment. I felt my cheeks flush in embarrassment.If only I knew, I would have given him myself sooner. Then this never would have happened. He would still be my mate. And I would still be his.My heart ached until I couldn
