Evie's POV "Greetings to you, Lady Evie."I stopped walking and turned around to see two ladies who were of noble births stopped to pay their respects to me. I hissed out of anger, already fed up with the name that people had been calling me ever since five days ago when the Alpha had suddenly decided to announce to the entire world that I was his woman.After I went to meet him to argue my point with him, the man had not given me even a single chance to let him know that I was not interested in being known as his woman or having 'lady' attached to my name. The first thing he said was that I was going to regret it if I utter those words. Why, you all must wonder? Because he was going to send an army out to look for Rebecca and her father and have them killed as was his initial plan.That was when it became clear to me that I was trapped in this situation because I pleaded for the lives of those two. A small part of me that wanted my freedom had wanted to damn the consequences and ask
Miss Kardashian's POV That lowlife!How dare that lowlife regard me like that? What? I traded my body to be known as the Alpha's woman? She was announced while I was not? She got higher than me in position, and I had to pay her my homage? What kind of crap was all that?"Does she actually expect me to pay homage to her?!" I yelled into the night's air. The sound reverberated to me, and I winced as I thought about all the wolves with sensitive hearing that might have heard everything I said.It was all because of that nobody who thought that she just suddenly hit the jackpot. She should just wait until I showed her exactly what her down life would be. She was going to regret humiliating me in the presence of people who were used to giving me nothing but maximum respect.It was a good thing I was not around on the day she was crowded either. How else would I have coped with all the stares from people who would look to see if I would bow down to that idiot, or if I was going to disrespe
Evie's POV As I entered the room and switched on the light, something felt eerie. I was about to brush the feeling off when I saw a pillow on the floor. I rolled my eyes, thinking that Miss Aurora must have let it fall off when she turned in bed. I bent down to pick it up and dropped it back on the bed. I smiled to myself when she didn't move."She must be tired," I mused. I had to confess that I was shocked when she came over to the house and we spent time together today, only for the Alpha to ask her to stay for the night when it was time for her to leave. I tried to convince her to leave, but she was more than happy to spend the night with me. Now that she was fast asleep, I felt guilty about leaving her alone for hours, but I didn't have much choice as I had to make sure everything was in order at the mansion.I was no longer the head of the servants at the mansion. The Alpha left me the choice to choose whoever I wanted for the role. Since Grace had always been the one to direct
Damon's POV Whoever it was that had dared to try to assassinate Evie even after I placed her under my protection was going to pay for tampering with her life. I couldn't imagine what would have happened if she was alone in bed, and everyone had gone to bed."Who could have dared to hurt my woman?!" Samuel yelled.After the doctor affirmed that Miss Aurora was going to be fine, Samuel and I found that we couldn't just sit still, waiting and watching. We had to track whoever it was that had done the harmful deal. It didn't take long to see where the intruder took in as a black scarf was found at the edge of the window when we looked out through there. We didn't waste time getting out of the room through the window.We followed the trail, hoping it would lead us to the hideout of the person, but we got disappointed after the trail just ended in the middle of the road. Only the moon goddess knew how the person had made the footprints disappear in the middle of the walk. Despite hours of
Evie's POV For the next three days after the suffocating incident in my room happened, the Alpha refused to allow me to sleep alone. It was either we slept in his room or he would wait until I was fast asleep in my room before he carried me back to his room. As for Miss Aurora, she got better after two days and left for her house with the Gamma.While we were in bed the previous night, the Alpha announced to me that he had to go to the city to check on the business since there was no director there. He implored me to go with him since he chose me as the director at the last meeting, but I respectfully declined. I wasn't cut out for that kind of stress in my life. Thankfully, Beta Stephan had offered to take over the position.Alpha Damon had been reluctant about leaving me alone to myself, but I assured him that I wouldn’t be staying alone since I would be surrounded by people at the pack and the Omegas would also be there with me. He and his Beta and Gamma finally left after Grace a
Evie's POV As I ran through the thick woods, my vision got blurred by the tears that threatened to burst forth as one of the memories replayed in my head.MEMORY REPLAYS.I could still hear them, their footsteps, and their voices.They were chasing me. All of them were. And it was only a matter of time before they caught up to me. I knew I had to find a way to escape, and so far, my running didn't help much.I ran barefooted, and without noticing, I gashed my foot against a rock and stepped on thongs. The pain was too unbearable, and as much as I tried not to scream out my pain, I could not help but allow the scream to burst forth.“She's there! Get her!!"I heard one of my pursuers say. I knew it was him. I would recognize that voice anywhere, but that wasn't my problem at the moment.With blood gushing out of my open wound and dying the soil and leaves, I limped toward the end of the forest. Sighting the beach at a distance, I struggled to run out and into the open.Tears kept str
Damon's POV All through the hours the meeting lasted, it was hard to concentrate on it as the thought of leaving Evie alone at the pack where her life was threatened wouldn't stop bugging me. The fact that whoever carried the attack out had even done it at the mansion made it even worst. The initial plan was to stay for the night in the city once we were done with the meeting, but I found that I couldn't do it. My mind was so fixated on being beside her that staying away was making me go almost insane. I told the men with me that we needed to return to the pack that same night as soon as the meeting was over."I can't believe you. We just spent hours inside the boardroom and what? You want us to return to the pack immediately?" The protest in Stephan's voice could be heard by even the deaf. I thought I was going to lose the battle until Samuel supported me."I agree. Let's return to the pack. I don't feel so good leaving Aurora by herself. She is still traumatized by that stranglin
Damon's POV The anger that boiled within me was not quenched in any way as I made my way out of the mansion down to Beta Stephen's home. It didn't matter that the day was beginning to turn to night either and that it would be wise to start my search in the morning when it would be easier to just spot everyone easily.I was impatient to do it. I just wanted to see that, whoever Mr. Hank was, he paid for what he tried to do to Evie. How dare the man threatened her life like that? What if I was not out fishing on that day? What would have happened? That was how she would have lost her life!The mere thought of it sent snippets of shock down my backbone. If she had died, then I would have lost my chance of ever being with my mate. Ironic, since I didn't want the woman to even stand before me prior to this."What?" Stephan yelled the moment he saw me. He was still trying to sulk that we ruined his plan of getting laid with the human girls, but I had no desire to satisfy his whimpering."C
