ADRIAN'S POV I held Zayn back to stop him from leaving the room. He had been getting on my nerves recently and I am not one to let things slide. How dare he call me a fool?? What did I do to be called a fool?? I didn't claim Eva as a mate or did I? I was asked to accept her as my mate. Was he too dumb to understand that?"How dare you call me a fool??" I thundered at him again and held the collar of his shirt.Zayn abruptly turned and threw a strong punch on the left side of my face, much to my surprise. My face!! My charming looks!! I couldn't believe what had just happened as I sought to feel my face with both hands. Did Zayn just punch me??! This jerk had the guts to lay his filthy Omega hands on me after calling me a fool. I'd deal with him since I enjoy being cruel anyway. He struck me hard on the opposite side of my face with a second blow before I had time to recover from the first one and that did it. I will tear him apart!!"Are you mad??? What has gotten into you?!! Are you
EVA'S POVAs I woke up stretching and yawning, I took a moment to fully awaken from the remnants of my slumber. The sun was shining brightly outside, and I could see a small sliver of light filtering through the small opening in my curtains. I sat up on my bed with a wide smile spreading across my face as I remembered the dream I had just had.I stood up slowly from my bed and walked towards the windows, trying to get a glimpse of how the morning looked. I gazed out of my windows and saw a glittering coating of frost covering the earth as the sun rose over the horizon like a dazzling globe of fire. The crisp, chilly air was invigorating, filling my lungs with its freshness. The stillness of the morning was broken only by the occasional chirping of birds and the crunch of leaves underfoot. I stood still and closed my eyes as I replayed the dream in my head. It was a dream about Adrian, the fucking love of my life!! The man I always wanted to be with forever. In my dream, we were alone
EVA'S POVAfter the mating ceremony was over, it was time for me to bid my parents goodbye. I was meant to stay with Adrian that night to be able to consummate our mating even if he was still nowhere to be found – only the goddess knew where he was. Tears streamed down my cheeks, and I cried as soon as my mom hugged me tightly, I felt really bad – I was going to miss her terribly but there was no going back now. The mating ceremony was done and I had a mate now, a new family, so I thought. I didn't know that I would feel this bad to see my parents leave, especially my mom. I was crying profusely like a little child when they got to the car and announced that they would be on their way. I had lived with my parents all my life so this felt so strange. "I'm going to miss you, my sweet girl." My mom whispered to me as she held me closely once again."Me too mom. Me too." I muttered. I didn't care if I was being looked upon by the crowd that was there – I cried out like it was the last tim
A FEW MOMENTS LATERAdrian talked with whoever it was for a long while before he finally banged the door shut and walked slowly back to his seat with his eyes fixated on again. I wondered what was going on in his mind and what he and his friend had whispered about – honestly I was worried. There was something about the way he was staring at me and it made me feel uneasy. I decided to put on my acting skills because I had to get out of there. I wasn't comfortable - I had to do something, anything to get out.Immediately, I wiped the worry off my face and began to smile. Remember that I was still dressed in my slinky, form-fitting gown that hugged my curves in all the right places. I was still looking sexy but with a worried expression on my face so I just had to pretend to be happy for my plan to work. What's the plan? Well, the plan was to seduce Adrian so that he could take me out of this musty dark room. So I stared intently at him with a hint of a smile playing on my lips. The ligh
ZAYN'S POVI searched for Eva after she left the ceremony ground all of a sudden. The celebration was still in full swing, with people dancing and laughing here and there, and the air was filled with the sound of melodious music and the smell of delicious food. But for me, all of that was just background noise as I focused all of my energy on finding Eva after she disappeared suddenly.I spotted her a while ago when she was standing alone by a corner in the celebration ground and she looked lost in her thoughts – she looked anxious. My heart skipped a beat at the sight of her but I felt a surge of relief wash over me immediately I set my eyes on her. She looked so beautiful throughout the entire ceremony and I couldn't get my eyes off her. The way she glided gracefully into the room with a vision of ethereal beauty in her elegant attire. The soft fabric of her beautiful dress flowed like liquid gold around her curves as it shimmered under the warm lights of the ceremony. Her hair was
EVA'S POVThe dark room was an experience I could never forget in a hurry and even as I slept, it still haunted me in my dreams. I had no idea what I was thinking but all I have ever done was from a position of love – I fell in love with a ruthless man.I still remembered my father's words, how he told me to leave Adrian's and come back to be his precious Luna princess. But I didn't listen to him – I was stubborn and blind in love. Adrian raped me last night and I didn't want to believe it, I lied to myself over and over again but no matter how I tried to convince myself, the truth was the truth – he raped me.The incident kept replaying in my head as a dream when I felt a sting in my heart that made me jolt back to life with tears streaming down my face. I looked around the room, Adrian was nowhere to be seen and I started to sob all over again."What have I done?" I muttered as I was starting to regret my decision, maybe it wasn't like that book or that movie that I had watched, may
ZAYN'S POVI couldn't help myself. I couldn't take my eyes off her as she smiled. Gosh, her smile was charming and I was drowning in the sweetness of it. Eva had the prettiest smile and there was this sparkle in her eyes whenever she smiled. Adrian was lucky to have someone like her but he didn't know what he had. He was a dumbass.As we sat in the dining room eating our breakfast together, I felt so happy as we talked. She was fun to be with when Adrian wasn't making her cry. We just sat there and talked about random stuff and I told some jokes to make her laugh. Her happiness had suddenly become my priority. "Uhmmm… Zayn, can I ask a question?" She asked, wearing a confused look on her face."You've got that worried look on your face again. What is it, Eva? You can ask me anything. I'm at your service." I said with a smile on my face to make her feel at ease."Uhmmm.. okay. So here goes my question, how did you and Adrian become best friends? How did you guys meet?" She said, looki
EVA'S POVI was over the moon when I saw Zayn again. He left just when I was beginning to have a good time. I wasn't pleased but I couldn't stop him from going to answer Adrian's call. He told me that he would be back soon so I decided to wait for him in the garden but I had no idea that it would take such a long time for him to come back. I wanted to go back to my room when the rain started but I changed my mind and stayed back.I hadn't seen him for a few hours and I was already missing him. Zayn was now my close friend, and I was beginning to have a soft spot for him. As he held my hands and helped me to my feet, I felt the usual thump in my heart – I brushed the feelings away because it was confusing me and I wasn't ready for anything yet.I looked at Zayn's face and I could sense that something was wrong. He seemed troubled all of a sudden and his eyes went dark with worry."What's wrong, Zayn?" I asked with concern etched on my face. "You don't seem like yourself. You look like
