Gazing at Evelyn's peaceful sleeping face, Raymond felt an odd satisfaction gripping his heart. He never expected to have such a feeling of completion with any woman but his mate, and that made him dreadful of what he was about to do. [Sisyphus,] Raymond took a deep breath before he called for his inner wolf, [is she our mate?] No response. Raymond's heart sank, and he didn't even know why. Sisyphus should have recognized Evelyn as their mate long before this if she really was, he knew, but still, he wanted to ask, and still, he felt disappointed at Sisyphus's answer. What got into him?! [She's not a werewolf,] Sisyphus suddenly grunted, his tone cold as ever. [She's a wolfless,] Raymond explained, [she's still a werewolf--] [She's not!] Sisyphus cut off Raymond impatiently, [Her scent is off!] [Ohh, it's because she was under wolfsbane. That would throw her scent off.] Raymond remembered. Sisyphus huffed grumpily. Sisyphus wasn't like this from the start. There was a time w
Evelyn woke up in a very comfortable bed, alone. Someone cleaned her body after the mess from last night, and with a lazy yawning, she stretched her body comfortably under the warm sunlight, which only shone up to her neck because the curtain was so considerately opened so that it wouldn't shine directely into her eyes. Started as a mess, last night turned out to be wonderful, all except her sour legs. Evelyn sat up on the bed with her knees in her chest, couldn't help but lingering on the taste of Raymond. Though she enjoyed their first night, last night was ten times better. The only pity was, she was half conscious and couldn't remember most of it. All she found in her memory was her unsatisfiying craving and the overwhelming pleasure. A glare from the nightstand caught Evelyn's attention, and she realized it was her phone. It was a text. What was surprising was that someone turned her phone into silent mode. Frowned with confusion, Evelyn took her phone, and then understood R
"Raymond! How nice to see you, lad!" Alpha Grey opened his arms way up the boarding stairs, and Raymond bowed at him before he walked up and took the overwhelming warm hug. Alpha Grey was around 70 now, and though not wrinkled and round like a 70-year-old human grandpa, he wasn't like how he was in his best days. The reason why he was still an Alpha, was that all his three sons went and established their own packs, all except his flaneur of the youngest son and his only daughter. "Alpha Grey, I'm really grateful for you coming to the grand opening of the school," Raymond put his fist across his chest. "Of course I'm here!" Alpha Grey's laugh was like loud drums, "You have done something for the werewolf community that no one has ever done! I'm honored to be part of it!" The very first werewolf-only school in the world, where werewolves are free to be themselves with no worry and no hiding! "I'm the one who's honored," Raymond walked Alpha Grey to his car, "I wouldn't even be here
"Maya, this is Sarah White," Evelyn quickly explained to Maya without even freeing herself from the scary woman first, "my brith mother." "Oh my God! I'm terribly sorry but..." Maya turned to Evelyn with a confused look. "She and Scarlett are twin sisters," Evelyn said calmly. That was what stopping Evelyn from hating Sarah the most -- the face that she had loved all her life, the face of her beloved mom, the one that she was looking for now. That was why Ava shared a lot of features with Evelyn -- the similar scents, and the red curly hair. "What did you do to Ava?!" Sarah demanded furiously, ignoring Maya and Evelyn's little talk, "Huh?! She's your sister!" "I didn't do anything to her," Evelyn said calmly, trying to get Sarah's grip off her wrist. If anything, Ava left her when she knew Evelyn was drugged, but even if Evelyn had evidence, she wouldn't be stupid enough to try that with Sarah. Sarah wouldn't believe her anyways. "I know you have always been jealous of her, but
Usually Alpha Grey's style of entry would lead to a spread of murmur about why that man intimidated people into silence, but this time even that kind of murmur were nowhere to be found, not because the man was obviously important, but because-- He was obviously pissed. "Dad?" Maya let out a light yelp, and Sarah sneaked behind Noah discreetly. "What's going on here?!" Alpha Grey frowned, glimmering eyes pasted on Sarah, but then he blinked with shock as if not believing his eyes. Though still not know who this man was, some of the people started murmuring, eyes darting to the young man standing beside Alpha Grey -- Raymond followed Alpha Grey in a step's distance, his hands in his pocket. It was hard to tell his mood, but the impact of his existance said a lot about the old man. Obviously, everyone knew who Raymond was. ...Including Maya. Draping an arm on Evelyn's shoulder, Maya nodded at Raymond with an unfriendly look: "Shouldn't you be asking the host why I was welcomed in
"Stop it, Sarah!" Noah frowned, huffing with an annoyed tone."I'm really sorry..." Sarah sobbed, taking Ava into her arms with a wronged face, "you wouldn't have been hurt if it wasn't for Evelyn...I knew I shouldn't have...""Tell me what happened," Alpha Grey huffed impatiently at Sarah's crying."Evelyn took Ava here yesterday and got her drugged..." Sarah shook her head, and huge tears rolled down her cheeks, "I hate to ruin your night with such horrifying scandal, but I just don't want you to hear it from others..."Alpha Grey glanced around before his eyes landed on Evelyn with an enquiring look.Maya turned to Evelyn with a worried look.Evelyn took a deep breath, but to everyone's surprise, she just returned to the table and took a glass of cocktail. Maya grinned brightly at Evelyn before sitting down with her and getting a different cocktail herself.Raymond curved his lips, and snapped his finger, calling over Theo for a whisper."So what happened exactly?" Alpha Grey turned
"So, according to your story," Raymond laced his fingers, his eyes on Sarah, "Evelyn took Ava here and left Ava to get drunk, in the end, leading Ava to be drugged?""She took Ava here and SHE got Ava drunk!" Sarah corrected Raymond with a disappointed shake of her head at Evelyn, "I hate to say this, but Evelyn has always been jealous of Ava. I worry that she might actually be the one who drugged Ava, and I was hoping you can extend justice for us, Alpha."Raymond curved his lips coldly, but instead of any comment, he just turned to Ava and asked with his eyes looked directed into hers: "I'm gonna give you exactly one chance to speak out the truth."Evelyn rose her eyebrows. She thought she would be the one who had more of a tainted image in Raymond's mind."I asked Evelyn to come to pick me up," Ava said with that timid, scared look, "and I don't know what happened to me...""Did Evelyn take you INTO the club?" Raymond asked directly, and Ava bit her lips."Yes, she did!" Sarah answe
"This is 18:00," Theo explained, and at the same time on the screen, Ava walked into the building straight to a bar, and soon a boy came up to talk to her, with whom Ava chatted for a little while after accepting a drink from the boy happily.Sarah snorted, pointing her finger at Evelyn: "She texted Ava--""Quiet," Raymond said only one word, but even he suppressed it, a heavy amount of Alpha Aura spouted, scaring Sarah into absolute silence."And this is 18:37," Theo continued, ignoring Sarah as he pressed on the remote. The screen switched to the front stairs of the building, showing Evelyn getting off a cab and walking closer, only to be caught up by Raymond, and soon joined by Killian.Evelyn frowned lightly, biting her lips in deep thought.She hadn't had time to think about what happened yesterday, but now watching it all over again, Evelyn suddenly realized --She didn't touch anything that could have drugged him, not even the special smell wolfsbane had. The only thing she touc
