PRIMAL Chapter 44
Adam's P.O.V.She was right.I didn't make her stay in that foul-smelling hospital room that night. It was partly for her sake, but mostly for mine. I hadn't had a restful night's sleep in a while, and I knew I wouldn't sleep if she was several floors down alone by herself in a hospital cot.I did take precautionary measures, however.A glass of water was beside her on the bedside table if she needed it and I woke up nearly every hour to make sure her fever wasn't coming back.About the fourth time I did so, I began to get frustrated with myself. I had never been so concerned with anyone other than myself before.Evelyn had a way of keeping me on my toes. I found myself doing things just to please or impress her. She was slowly becoming someone I looked to for affirmation, which frightened me more than I cared to express as someone who had always been self-sufficient.I couldn't wait for the day that she fully stepped into her role as my Luna. I already knew she would be phenomenal at

Evelyn's P.O.V.It was the last night of the Centennial.Adam was right when he told me I would be sore from shifting. I laid in bed for the rest of the day, barely able to move.But I was determined to be at the gala that night. I had missed the night before last because of Heat and I had missed the previous night because Dr. Zusak didn't discharge me from the hospital ward until later in the evening.However, I wasn't going to miss that night for the world. I had saved the most beautiful gown for last and I smiled when I pulled it out of the dust cover that evening as I began to get ready.It was a crimson red ballgown with an off-the-shoulder neckline and a corseted waist adorned with beaded lace appliqués.I put on red lipstick to match and pulled my hair back in a low, loose bun before I stood in front of the mirror. I admit that I twirled around a few times.I felt like a princess.Judging by the look on Adam's face as he walked through the bedroom door, I looked like one too."

I couldn't believe it. It had been three days since Adam made the announcement that he was officially the Alpha Superior of Europe, making me the Luna Superior of Europe.The Centennial had ended.Everyone had gone home-including the Germans, who left sulking. Diedrick had stayed behind, which I wasn't surprised by seeing as he had just been practically disowned by his father for his assistance in Adam's ploy for control.Nearly half a week had passed and I was still baffled by the scheme. I didn't understand how Adam had successfully taken over Europe without so much as lifting a finger."It's all in the tactic, darling," he said as he packed his suitcase."But I don't understand," I said."How on earth did you get him to just give you an entire continent?""I didn't." he said. "Diedrick did.""But how?"Adam stopped packing and looked up from his suitcase at me."I offered Diedrick a position as Beta under the condition that he could get his father to sign the papers and he accepted

I felt like I was going to pass out.My hands were shaking as I put them up to cover my mouth in shock."Evelyn Schubert, mate of mine and love of my life, I know it hasn't been one hundred days yet, but I'm an impatient man."I laughed as I felt tears welling up in my eyes."Would you do me the honor of marrying me and becoming my wife and Luna?""Yes!"I had said it before Adam could even finish asking.I ran over to him and wrapped my arms around his neck as he sighed in relief and hugged me back. Adam kissed my lips with such passion that my mind went blank and he was the only thing I could focus on.He pulled away slowly, leaving his forehead to rest against mine as I caught my breath."We're forgetting something," he said smiling.I looked down at his hands where he was still holding the velvet ring box.Cushioned inside was a diamond ring that put them all to shame. It was a huge, pear cut diamond that was at least three carats. A halo of smaller diamonds surrounded it and cove

Unknown P.O.V."I tried!"The man grabbed a vase that perched near him on the mantel and threw it at Ludwig Schneider, whom it narrowly missed as he ducked at the last moment."You didn't try hard enough!"The man's eyes were filled with rage. It took everything inside of him not to kill the former Alpha Superior."I'm sorry!" Ludwig Schneider said."The letter was not supposed to be intercepted. I'm not sure how they found it."This was a lie.He knew giving it to the maid to deliver was a mistake.Originally, he had meant for Barret to leave the castle and deliver the forged invitation himself, however Alpha Superior Deveraux had restricted all access to and from the castle during the week they were there. Barret would never have been able to leave, so he had to improvise."That was my chance," the man growled."Because of you and your incompetence, it is gone."Ludwig Schneider gulped, suddenly fearing for his life."But you have other contacts inside the castle. Can't you still fi

Waking up with a dagger pointed at your throat is just as terrifying as one would think. When I felt the cold metal pressed against my neck, my eyes immediately opened to see the glint of the dagger in the moonlight.I froze, unsure of what to do.My eyes adjusted quickly and I was able to make out the person whose hand was holding the weapon.Barret Schneider.My eyes widened as he slowly put one a finger over his lips as a gesture for me not to speak. I felt my heart began to beat quickly and I tried my hardest tocontrol my rapid breathing.At some point in the night, Adam and I had ended up changing positions; Adam was now behind me, one arm around my waist, the other under my pillow.I gulped as Barret reached out and pulled back the covers slowly, gesturing for me to get up. With the dagger still lingering dangerously near my throat, I had no choice but to slowly remove Adam's arm from around my waist.His strong grip made this near impossible, but I managed to slide out from un

Adam's P.O.V.I was angrier at myself in that moment than I had ever been in my life. I couldn't believe I had let her watch me do that, no matter how much the bastard deserved it.I didn't regret it, and I knew she could see that.I would have done it all over again twenty times if it had meant protecting her.But, I saw the way she looked at me as I held her.I was something that would make her afraid of the dark, the last thing I wanted was for her to realize that.I had gotten carried away the night before. I had let my wolf take control instead of killing him quickly and the added theatrics were only going to hurt me now.Wanting desperately to explain myself and to make sure that I had not scarred her for life, I got up the nerve to ask.However, before I could mutter a syllable, I heard someone open the bedroom door. I turned quickly, pushing Evelyn behind me, both out of a protective instinct and because she was naked under a loosely tied bathrobe.Seeing Diedrick, I felt my b

When we arrived back at the castle, we were immediately met at the door by Jace."You'll want to see this," he said, gesturing for Adam to follow him.Adam gave me an unsure look before he and I began to follow Jace inside the castle. He led us down into the hospital ward and I felt my heart drop.Did something happen to Mr. Chandler while we were gone?My question was answered as I walked into his room and saw him lying on the cot, asleep."What happened?" I asked Jace, not seeing anything visibly wrong with him.Jace walked around me and threw back the covers off of Mr. Chandler, who remained in a deep sleep."The nurse noticed it yesterday as she was helping Mrs. Chandler wash him," he said, pulling up the hospital gown to expose Mr. Chandler's thigh.I gasped when I saw the gash that was oozing with infection."What happened?" I asked him.Jace's eyes narrowed on me before Adam spoke up."He was bitten.""Bitten?"I saw Jace and Adam exchange a wary look between them."We can't ta
