"Thanks, Edward," Evelyn fell back into her chair with a heavy grunt, "I'm so sorry to get you out of here in the middle of the night...""You know I don't mind," Edward chuckled with a glance at Evelyn, "happy to be your driver until you get to 20 and no longer has any use of me, princess."Evelyn shot Edward a glare, and he just grinned brightly.Edward went to the same high school as Evelyn, as part of his escape-home plan. He was three years older than Evelyn, so he only spent less than a year with her in the same school, but that didn't stop him from falling in love with her, and on the day he turned 18, he told Evelyn his wolf found Evelyn his mate--A lie Evelyn exposed later easily before she trapped him in James's bathroom naked, with James right outside in the living room.James put Edward in his place for Evelyn without her having to make the request.Of course, Evelyn did that to get rid of Edward, but that was the biggest failure of her plan --Edward had been crazy about
"Please, Alpha, let's not rush into anything, alright?" Theo struggled to turn around when he heard Raymond's mumble, "I'm not even sure it was him, and I definitely need to dig into this before I can make sure--"Raymond got off the car."Alpha! Wait!" Theo shouted in haste, but before he could escape from his safety belt, Raymond dragged open his car and pulled him out."Alpha?" Theo froze by the side of the road, confused, "Are you...leaving me here?"Raymond started the car and then stuck his head out, shooting Theo a deathstare: "Shotgun, now!"The car dashed off before Theo could close his door.Theo watched in awe as his Alpha called in a favor from the police and soon caught up with Evelyn. Raymond kept his distance, tagging along shortly before he took turns differently from them and stopped the car in a lonesome street."You..." Theo followed Raymond off the car as he whispered, "remembered their plate number, huh?"Raymond glanced at Theo with a weird look, not answering.Th
The Grand Opening was finally here, 8th Sep, a week before the first ever term at Forks University begins. Evelyn spent the happiest week she had in a long time -- shopping and clubing with Maya day and night. Raymond seemed to have lost interest in pursuing her "crime", and with the Maya the amulet, Edward disappeared, too. "I thought you are here to accompany your father," Teasing, Evelyn got off Maya's car and walked with her into Forks U, "I don't want to be on Alpha Grey's list!" "And what? Watch you take the subway over?" Maya rolled her eyes, "He took me because this way my mom would worry less about his drinking. As if he really wants me with him to ruin his fun!" "I wish I can turn 21 tomorrow," Evelyn shook her head, "it's so inconvenient to get around here without a car." "You could have got any house here within a 10 minutes' walk!" Maya snorted, "Instead you have to stick with that stupid 'low-key' thing and get that tiny place in the city!" "I'm trying to get a job
"OMG, what do we do?!" Evelyn yelped at Maya, only to find Maya slipping away, "Where are you going?!""He's gonna reject me if he sees me!" Maya hissed under her breath in haste, "I'm sorry but I have to go. They are all yours, girl!""You--" Evelyn tried to grab Maya in the least attention-tracking way, but not only did she fail to do so, but a lot of people around them also gasped at Maya's sudden move, hence when Evelyn turned around, only to find--Everyone's attention was now on her, including the two men that were in a standoff.Evelyn: "..."Hmmm... Did that count as SHE solving the problem?"Evelyn?!" James frowned in surprise, "What are you doing here?""Uhh..." Evelyn blinked, totally forgetting she told James she had to stay in the city because she took NYU's offer, "Actually--""I invited her to MY school," Raymond cut her off, catching James's attention again, "got a problem with that?" Raymond remembered that James was "after Evelyn" and caused a war for that no less. I
"Excuse me," Raymond rearranged his collar before he went to greet the pack witch, and Evelyn tugged on James's suit sneakily before she turned and left.James followed her, only he looked like he just lost his soul."What's going on here?" Taking a deep breath, James hissed at Evelyn under the wall of the Grand Hall, far away from Raymond and Annie, who were now talking right in the front row."You saw mom in those eyes as well, didn't you?!" Evelyn hissed back at him, "I only met her a few days ago. she didn't recognize me, and she even called herself Annie.""What?!" James frowned, "But...why?!"The abrupt leaving of Scarlett was as shocking to James as was to everyone, but he was the one who was hurt the most.Scarlett had been there for him throughout his life, especially when he lost his father. To wake up and hear that Scarlett, their Luna and the pack witch had fled the pack devastated James."I don't know! That's why I have to stay here!" Evelyn hissed, partly true except for
Raymond came to Evelyn when he noticed Killian approaching her. Edward and James were still puzzling to him, but Killian he KNEW!But when he saw Evelyn's iconic innocent look he stopped on the aisle -- she was up to no good! And he was happy to witness it."What are you saying?" Killian let out an awkward laugh as if Evelyn was being ridiculous when his expression froze for a second after Evelyn called on his identity."I'm saying," Evelyn said with a serious look, "I'm upset that you called me stupid.""Ohh, nooo!" Killian explained in haste, "I would never--""How did you enter the school?" Evelyn suddenly asked, and Killian pursed his lips."It's okay, maybe you meant that YOU were the stupid one when you pretend to not know what I'm talking about," Evelyn patted Killian on the shoulder with a fake smile, "I'll spell it out for you."You know why Alpha Raymond could have such a Grand Opening right in the middle of Long Island without worrying about our identity being exposed?"Beca
Evelyn didn't know what Raymond and Killian said in that "private" conversation, but they came out together, and Killian found a comfortable seat in the front row, apparently not leaving any time soon.Frowning, Evelyn drowned in her thoughts throughout Raymond's speech.Too much had happened in the past week, and none of them fit her plan. Killian, K-line, Annie... and the most messed up part of all--Raymond.Evelyn rubbed her nose bridge when she thought of Raymond.He was the first man she ever had a crush on, and the worst was not even the fact that she went for it, but that Raymond rejected her because he said he wanted to stay true to his mate.And now she not only drugged him, but also slept with him. Just great.Taking a deep breath, Evelyn shoved her problems aside. So she slept with him twice, so what? It wasn't like he stayed true to his mate before that! It was only after Evelyn came to his city to know what a playboy he was. What a lame excuse to reject her!"Miss Evely
In the end, Raymond failed to provide a good reason explaining his offer, because he didn't want to let Evelyn know he did it because he heard from Ava that Evelyn was having money problems.That would only open a can of worms about Alia, Ava's plan and whatnot, not to mention it would definitely hurt Evelyn--She was such a proud girl."How did it go, Alpha?" Theo watched Evelyn leave in a cab as he asked the silent Alpha in the back seat."Well, I got her to take the contract," Raymond huffed, obviously frustrated, "why is so hard to get her to do anything?!""Hmm..." Theo calculated between his curiosity and his life, "it depends, what is it that you are really trying to get her to do?""Why are you all asking me that?!" Raymond suddenly got grumpy, "Can't I just be nice once in a while?!""Of course, Alpha!" Theo sat straight, not making eye contact as if dealing with a drunk maniac, "I can talk to her if you want--""No, it's fine!" Raymond lay back and closed his eyes, "Office, n
