Evvie’s POV:I’m going back.Pixie stared into my eyes and sighed.I saw Casey peek through the gap, curiosity building in her eyes. I exchanged glances with Pixie who she shook her head.“Going back where?” Casey asked, pulling the door further open and we looked at the only clueless human in our midst.“And who was that?” She asked, a shudder visibly snaking up her arms making her squeeze them in her grip as she stared into space. Her eyes shifting a shade darker as Barrak’s domineering frame cast upon her once again.“No one.” Pixie saved me from telling her the truth.Knowing Casey, she’d always had an interesting take on the world around her.You’d be surprised if I tell you she writes about werewolves. Romance, on top of that.Most humans believe we’re just some made up supernatural beings in lost myths. That we don’t exist. But some of them, like Casey, refused to believe it.Pixie and I would watch the twinkle in her eyes as she went on and on about werewolves, vampires, beast
Zachary’s POV:Excitement bubbled in my veins as I reversed my car at the parking lot near the border.Duncan could not stop pacing in my head, ready to claim what was rightfully his. Evvie. Our beautiful lost mate.The day she left the pack was the day I suddenly forgot how to breathe. It felt like my soul was ripped apart from me. A part I’ve been missing ever since.Five years.Those four years were filled with regrets and immeasurable guilt. But the last year, oh I’d made up for those past four years by bathing myself in my thoughts of her.And she’d reappear in most of my dreams, taking me back to the day before I left for training camp.It was just her and me back then. Snuggled in one another’s arms. I remember very clearly, the fire of passion burning in her eyes when she kissed me, pulling me in deep.I never should have left.Those words never failed to come across. Every day of my life since she disappeared. Every day I cursed myself for my stupidity. I’d let them trick me
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
Evvie’s POV:“B-But it’s too soon!” I stumbled stupidly.Mom sighed, walking over and sitting on the bed. The mattress dipping as she did.“I know, baby. But it’s Alpha’s orders.” She stated, looking at me.Can’t she see I’m hurting?My boyfriend. No. My ex- boyfriend and the only love of my life literally just came home with a female in his arms. Not just any female. One that he impregnated.It hasn’t even been 24 hours since my whole world came crashing down around me in a pile of rocks.“Mom, I can’t go.” I flopped back down the mattress, yanking my comfy wool blanket over my head and curling up into a ball. I let its warmth soothe me but I knew there was no escaping my mother’s so-called advices.Mom sighed heavily, making me fist the blanket.“Evvie, I warned you long ago about this, remember?”And here it comes. The judging.I rolled my eyes and stifled a long groan.“Dating someone who is not your mate simply has its consequences.” She started.She rambled on and on about how f
Evvie’s POV:I opened my eyes abruptly when a sudden wave of anger swept over me.“Gabriel.” I growled, surprised by the strength of my voice.Gabriel, Zachary, Ethan, and I were high school best friends. We were inseparable, and I have been in the group since I was introduced to junior year as Ethan’s little sister. They protected me from bullies who felt that I do not deserve their princess treatment.We always had each other’s back. But my face darkened at the thought of Gabriel.I finished showering and went back to my room. I pulled out my phone from the back pocket of my old jeans and went straight to Messages.I started texting Gab.You:What the f*ck is this Gab?Gab:Look, it’s done. It’s pack rules and you know it, Evvie.You:We’ve been friends since high school, Gab. How could you?Fighting back the tears, I held the phone with my other hand to stop it from trembling, and pressed send.I could see him typing. There was a long pause before he started typing again. I glared
