When you feel that everything is fine in your life, then god completely changes your life over which you have no control over. Same thing happened in her life. One minute her family was happy and enjoying and the next minute that happiness got coloured with sorrow and blood.
“Mom - Dad!” A girl who is severely injured tried calling her parents, when she saw blood flowing from their body continuously and looked at her mom who was just looking at her back with tears in her eyes.
“Pls someone help… is someone there? pls” she asked for help in a desperate situation.
“Mom, no! pls don’t leave me. Mom” she tried to talk to her as her mother’s aqua blue eyes started closing.
“T-Take care…Eve” her mother’s last words before her eyes closed. When the girl saw her parents' lifeless bodies, she became shocked. She was not saying anything.
And just laid there, waiting for, don't know how much time, seeing her parents until a shadow came beside the passenger seat of the car. The girl came out of her shock and tried moving her body that was stuck behind the driver’s seat but was not able to because of the immense pain that ran through her body.
“H-Help, help u-us” and tried to coax those words from her mouth as she was slowly fainting. Then she thought that maybe her voice did reach the shadow because it started walking towards her side and appeared before her… with four legs. That was the last thing she saw before her eyes fully closed.
“DAD- MOM!” she suddenly woke up on a bed, shouting her parents name again and again.
“Calm down girl, otherwise your injuries will open again” the lady wearing white dress with name tag ‘Marie’ written, tried to hold her.
“NO, leave me. I want to see my parents, mom- dad! Leave me... Where are you?” She screamed and other staff gathered outside the room. After a few minutes of fighting she lost her battle and just cried in the arms of the nurse.
For a while the nurse caressed her hair letting her out her emotions and the child’s breathing became normal. She silently pulled out of the woman's arms after understanding where she was and sat there staring at the wall.
Later, the door of the room opened and a man wearing white coat entered, upon seeing Dr. Austin, the nurse who was sitting on the chair and reading a magazine stood up.
“Good evening Dr.” Marie said while the doctor acknowledged her with a smile and moved towards the bed. He checked the girl’s health chart that was hanging on the wall.
“How are you feeling, Evelyn?” Doctor stood in front of her bed and she just said ‘okay’ like a whisper but it was still heard by him.
“Where are my parents? When can I see them?” She started asking questions when the doctor didn’t tell her anything about them.
“Uh… Evelyn listen to me carefully, child. Your parents are still being checked, they are with other doctors. So, I want you to be a brave girl and listen to Ms. Marie, she will always be here until your parents are back with you. Now, will you do what I said?”
Dr. Austin explained the whole situation to her with a calm voice and she agreed. Then the doctor left the room and Evelyn was now alone with the nurse.
“Do you want to do anything?” Marie tried to break the staring contest that she was doing with the wall in front of her.
“Can we go outside?” after a moment, she asked with a low voice and with a hope in her eyes.
“Sure, I’ll get the wheelchair for you as your left leg is fractured” she then walked out and came back within 5 minutes. After helping her to sit, they went out.
“Do you like the moon?” This was the first question the nurse asked when she saw Evelyn staring at the sky since they came to the garden. Never once did she remove her eyes and stare blankly without giving any response to her.
After like 10 minutes, she gave her attention to the trees that were surrounding the hospital making it isolated from the world outside. It was a peaceful night for everyone except for her.
She instantly looked in the direction from where a little noise was coming while Marie was talking to another nurse, taking this as a cue she wheeled towards the noise. Being a curious child, she tried to look around the darkness of the surroundings when immediately only two light golden eyes appeared in front of her, like other people she didn’t flinch or scream but looked at those eyes for a minute. They both just stare at each other without caring about the world.
“Come Evelyn, let’s go back. It’s getting late” Marie’s voice broke the moment they were having and those eyes vanished in thin air. Then, the nurse took her back into the room and tucked her into bed.
“Good night Evelyn, sleep well” the nurse kissed her forehead and switched off lights before going over to the small couch that was beside a window.
But the images that were going inside Evelyn’s mind were not letting her sleep and especially the shadow and those eyes that she saw. These two things alone were enough to change her future life.
(Evelyn’s POV)The moment my eyes opened it automatically went towards my family photo, dad making weird faces with me and mom smiling at our antics with one hand on her swollen belly. This was my happy family who was waiting for a new member but everything got destroyed that day.“When will we be a family again, dad?.. I miss you alot, pls come back to us. Mom and I can’t live without you…pls” I clutched that photo frame tightly to my chest and tears flowed continuously from my eyes.After an hour, I could see the sun shining brilliantly in the clear blue sky as soon as I left my house. It was a bright light in my otherwise drab life and began to go in the direction of the bus station, where the sound of my heels became less audible through the haze of nearby people going about their business in a world that is definitely brighter than mine.Even at the age of 24, the burden of all my responsibilities keeps me from leading the free life that a twenty-four-year-old girl ought to lead
(Alexander’s POV)I heard a scream as soon as I woke up, so I hurried downstairs to the kitchen to see what was making the commotion. I noticed that our enormous and opulent kitchen was in disarray, and all of the maids were standing in a queue against the wall with their heads down. Then I turn to face the person who called my name.“Yes my princess?” I asked with a calm voice to my sister who scowled at me.“See, what a mess Alaina made” she said while glaring at her, who was covered in a white powder like stuff.“I just wanted to give you a surprise'' Alaina said while looking at me with tears in her eyes.“Al come here” I opened my arms for her and caressed her head. “Ash, don’t just stand there. I want my other princess also” and opened my right arm for her as well. She walked into my arms and hugged Alaina also.“I am sorry Alaina, I should have not shouted at you” Ashley said while looking at her and in return Alaina smiled at her while saying ‘It’s ok’.“Now that’s my girls.
(Evelyn’s POV)“Mr. Alexander Knight, is everything ok? Do you need anything?” My manager came beside him and he just shook his head without leaving eye contact with me as if he was trying to figure something out. Then, he quietly entered the lift and pressed the button on the 15th floor, which is the highest and VIP floor in this hotel.Alexander stood beside me with an aura that exudes confidence and authoritative nature making me feel suffocated even in this big lift. My hands that were holding the cleaning cloth started trembling the moment his sharp eyes looked at me again and I tried my best to ignore it but the storm that was going on inside me was not at all controllable.As soon as I reached my floor, I walked out fast with the cleaning stuff. But the whole time I worked my mind was just thinking about Alexander, especially his eyes. I couldn't place where I had seen those eyes before, but I had the feeling that I surely did.“Are you done Evelyn?” Mia came beside me after fi
(Alexander’s POV)Whenever you try not to have that thing happen again in your life, then the moon goddess starts playing with you by putting the same thing in front of you again.After being with her for a few seconds in the lift yesterday, I never thought to be in the same room with her today when I entered. My heart was racing for the first time.I attempted to maintain my cool even though I wanted to give her an embrace since I could smell the scent of roses emanating from her and filling my entire room. “Sir, you called me?” She came into my bedroom and stood at the door with head down as if I had punished her. It even broke my heart to see that she is afraid of my presence only.“Did you see my tab which was kept here?” I spoke with a calm voice. I'm not sure why, but even for such a foolish thing, my heart compelled me to speak with her. It was as though all I wanted was to hear her lovely voice.“I am sorry for touching your things sir but I kept it safely in the drawer beside
(Evelyn’s POV) As soon as my work finished, I literally ran out of his room. I don’t know why but whenever I meet Alexander, there is always a feeling inside me that pushes me towards him more and I have to try my best to control it. “Evelyn!” Mia screamed in my ears from behind when I was totally lost in my own thoughts. “Oh god!... Mia, you scared me” I slapped her arm in a playful manner. “But it was worth it, you should have seen your face” And she was still laughing while I just shook my head with a smile. “Ok, ok, now what are you doing here?” “I took a little break,” She said while stretching her body as if she has done a whole lot of work but it has only been 5 hours
(Evelyn’s POV)“Wait here, I’ll get a shirt for you”.“No, no sir, it’s ok. I’ll change in the staff room” I interrupted him when he started walking into his bedroom.“I’ll get one for you, just wear it for now” He didn’t even wait for my response and went into his bedroom.After a few seconds he came back with a shirt which was clearly large enough for me. I hesitantly took it from him and went towards the washroom. Then, I removed my clothes and took a brief shower because of the stickiness and wore the shirt. The second I wore, it was coming little above my knees and one side of the shoulder was visible as it was slipping down.“Uh…”
(Alexander’s POV)Yesterday when Brian and Mia entered my room, they both were talking to each other as if they have known each other for so long. So, after Evelyn and Mia left, I talked to Brian about it…“What is going on between you and Mia?” I asked and he was taken a little back from my question.“What do you mean?”“Don’t be dumb, Brian. I am not only your Alpha but your best friend also…so, tell me what is happening?” I looked at him and he just smiled before answering me.“She is my mate!”.“What? Really?” I was shocked to hear that. My only best friend finally found his mate.“I am so fucking happy for you” And hugged him immediately.“What are you going to do now?” We both settled on the couch.“Don’t know…but I think I’ll first approach her as a friend…And then move on to the next step” He said while thinking about it and that moment an idea clicked to me.So, the next day I reached Evelyn’s cafe whose address I found out from staff details. First, I was anxious that she mig
(Alexander’s POV)The whole day was spectacular for me because I got to spend it with Evelyn, the only person who invaded my mind a lot lately. And was looking forward to the next day… As soon as the sun shined bright, the next morning, I woke up with full excitement, a smile on my face and got ready for the day.Like yesterday, I picked up Evelyn from her cafe and this time our destination was a carnival. When we arrived, it was full of adults and children. Being a weekend as well the crowd was too much.“I hope you don’t mind this crowd” Evelyn spoke from beside me and I just smiled at her in response. We both then walked towards different stalls.“My parents used to bring me here every weekend. And it was my rec
