Evie's POV "Don't you even dare about touching a hair on her head!" I heard the intruder yell at Rebecca. The latter turned and snorted in annoyance. "And who is going to stop me? You? A weak Omega?" She laughed as if she was thinking about how ridiculous the thought was. She turned back to me as if the intruder was a nobody that she should be concerned about."I might be a weak Omega while you are of the Elder's bloodline, but against all of us, I don't think you will be able to do much." She hissed.That made Rebecca turn to look at her. "What do you mean by all of you? Do you want to die?""Grace, leave," I pleaded with the woman who was the intruder and was bent on making herself my savior by endangering her own life. "Please."She ignored me as if I hadn't said anything to her at all. Instead, she smiled and spread her arms out before she turned to look at Rebecca, who was still foaming from her mouth."When I said we, I meant we." She said with a bold grin. As if that was the
Damon's POV I rushed over to her and caught her just as she was about to tumble behind, along with the chair she was bound to. I hissed softly as I looked at the rope that I was sure must be cutting into her skin already. "Samuel, get that woman for me!" I growled in a feral tone, pointing a degrading finger at Rebecca or whatever her name was.She tried to run out, and I saw one of the Omegas - the one that was always with Evie these days - clutched her tightly to keep her in place. I ignored both of them, knowing that Samuel would take care of that. I began to remove the ropes binding her to the chair so she would be free faster, and I would be able to take her to a doctor. Blood stained my hands, and I had to fight the urge not to roll off the head of a certain someone. Miss Aurora came to my side and began to help me untie the rope. Tears were already falling from her face when she saw how the dress Evie wore was soaked with her blood."Is she still breathing?" Miss Aurora sobb
Damon's POV "Alpha!"That single, urgent call made me froze to a spot. "Alpha!" The shriek came again. This time, it was from two to three people with different pitches of voices.Even though I tried to move, I found the task excruciating to achieve. I knew that the desperate call of these people could only mean something bad. As bad as the fact that Evie has just lost her life."Alpha, please!" The doctor shouted again.That jolted me out of whatever had me spellbound to a spot. I turned on my heels and rushed over to the bed as I saw Evie convulsing profusely and the doctor doing something I couldn't understand to get her to stop the act. "What the fuck is going on?!" I yelled, completely losing the little control I had."She seems to be going into a panicking mood." The doctor cried. "Please don't die in me!" He yelled, slapping her by the chin."Do you want to die?!" I hissed at him. The hand he had in midair froze, and he bowed his head. "Don't you dare hit her again." I igno
Damon's POVI trained my golden eyes on the unwanted guest, and the man dared to laugh."Do you want to die?" I asked him, already fisting my hands by my sides."Not unless you want her to die first." Alpha River chuckled at me, moving to stand in front of me. When he got to my side and saw the wound above Evie's chest." He hissed loudly. "What the actual hell?!" His eyes flicked to rainbow colors instantly."Anger would do nothing in this case. She needs a blood transfusion as soon as possible." The doctor said. He went to the tray and brought out a syringe. He went to where Alpha River was and motioned for the man to bring his hand. "Mind if we take your sample, Alpha?" He asked politely."I haven't given you my permission yet!" I scowled."Well, you told me to make sure she survives. This is me making sure." The doctor said without any emotion. He ignored me and drew some blood from River's vein. Once he was done, he handed the filled syringe to the nurse again. "Check if this matc
Alpha River's POV I prayed to the moon goddess that nothing would happen to that woman. If anything did, I wasn't sure if I would be able to cope. For what felt like forever, I was no longer cold during the night. Just the mere thoughts of her were enough to lift me out of whatever dark mood I was in. The nightmare that usually plagued me every time I closed my eyes was almost always disappearing each time I slept with the thoughts of her on my mind.The nightmare was something no one knew of. It was my own demon to fight alone. I intended to do that itself. But thanks to Evie, who was the sunshine of my darkness, I could cope with it without worrying too much about anything else. So, what would I have done if she lost her life?I turned sideways and watched silently as her chest rose and fell as she slept on. Her eyes were no longer flickering about, struggling to choose between staying awake or falling asleep. She was now sleeping."Oh, the drip you are taking is done." The doctor
Evie's POV My body ached. It felt like my entire body had been beaten and battered up with how I felt pain in them all. It was even excruciating to think about opening my eyes as the task felt heavy. My body felt like it had been weighted down by a great force or some bricks. With great effort, I slowly opened my eyes and blinked a few times to adjust to the light. The room where I was in was dimly lit, but I could make out a figure sitting in a chair next to the bed. I blinked several times to make out who was there. No matter how many times I tried, I couldn't tell who it was, though. All I knew was that I recognized the person, but not exactly who it was. The figure lifted their heads, and I was surprised to see that it was Alpha Damon. "How are you feeling?" He asked, concern etched on his face.I tried to speak, but my throat felt dry and scratchy. I cleared my throat repeatedly before I mumbled a barely audible, "not good," out.Alpha Damon nodded his head, almost as if he ex
Evie's POV No matter how hard I grilled the Alpha about where Alpha River was and what happened to him, the man refused to tell me anything. However, I was able to calm down when Miss Aurora and Gamma Samuel visited me at the hospital."The Alpha offered to let him stay for the night as he was grateful that he gave you blood, but Alpha River rejected the offer and went back to his pack. Don't worry too much, though. He got to his pack safely. He made sure to call Alpha Damon every day to ask about you." Miss Aurora informed me."What about Grace and the others?" I asked next."Oh. They are all fine." She answered. But then, she scrunched her face."What is it?" I asked, already feeling nervous. I was suddenly reminded of the Alpha's command of them. "Is the Alpha still not allowing them to eat?!" I yelled. I felt the impact when my chest constricted and pain radiated through my body up to my head, giving me a headache. "Damn!" I said in a low, slow breath when I regained myself."Who
Alpha River's POV I was pathetic, I knew that. I was nothing but a pathetic individual who didn't want to let go of his illusion and obsession. But there was one tiny hope in my heart that if I was patient enough, if I waited long enough for her, then she was going to see that I was the better choice and come over to me.Even as I watched her pale face that seemed like she was going to faint any moment from now if she wasn't forced to lie down right now, my heart was still with her. I wanted nothing more than to take all the pain I knew she must be having and give her everything that made me happy. But how was I supposed to do that when she was the reason for the happiness I had? Was there a way to give someone themselves back as a gift?So, knowing that there was nothing I could do other to remain there for her and show her that I would always be there no matter what anyone said and no matter how they tried to separate us, I made up my mind to finally visit her again after doing my
