Damon's POV I hastened my footsteps, wanting to be as far away from Evie as before she would realize that I was out of breath and only just managed to get my feet to walk. I didn't even know why I did what I did in the first place. After she looked at me like I was a killer and she raced away from me, I immediately turned to return to the pack, so I could share the victory of capturing and killing the cloaked man with them -of course, I was not going to tell them who it was or how it came to be that once a dead person came back alive. Still, I would tell them the truth about the death so that their mind would be at rest. But then, I wasn't settled. A part of me had refused to move from the spot where Evie left me. I realized that it was because I was worried for her. Much as I wanted to blame Leo for the manipulation, I knew my wolf had nothing to do with the concern I was feeling for the woman. Before I could stop myself, I raced off in the direction she took, going in search of h
Damon's POV The Gamma and I finally got to the large hall for the meeting. All the Elders and the Beta were already seated. Gamma Samuel left my side and went straight to sit with the Beta. I moved to the throne area and stood everyone stood on the ceremony and waited until I was seated. "People of this pack, I have good news for you," I announced to them. I could see it in everyone's eyes. The emotions of wanting to know what the goodness I was about to share was all about. I smiled to myself, knowing that they would indeed be very happy with what I was about to say. "The perpetrator of evil emboding this land has finally been caught," I let out. Everyone in the pack, except Gamma Samuel of course, all looked from one person to another, trying to determine if what I was saying was the truth. I smiled at them, eager to let them know the reason for my happiness. "You all remembered the cloaked man that has been troubling us on this land, right?" I questioned them. Murmurs rose in
Evie's POV After Miss Aurora and I spent some time together, talking about everything that was going on with us and we parted ways, I was lost about where to go or what to do. I didn't know if I should just return to the slaves' quarter and sleep or if I should get back to work. Well, I returned to the servant's quarter and slept the day away. Imagine my shock when no one woke me up to come and work. I still couldn't help but wonder what that meant. Even this morning, while it looked like everyone was in a rush, no one looked at me twice or asked me to do things. Was I truly free? Of a truth, Alpha Damon already granted me my freedom. That had to mean that I was no longer obligated to touch even a pin at the pack anymore. But then again, it was the cold-hearted Alpha we were ranting about. He might decide in his heart that since I walked back into the pack, twice at that, I was okay with being a slave of the pack. Thus, he might ask me to return to being a servant, and there would
Alpha River's POV I snarled almost silently as I walked into the house of the man who seemed to be my number one enemy. I couldn't tell what the fuck I was thinking when I anchored the meeting to his pack. If we were being honest with each other, I did it to spite the guy. He was always so full of himself, acting like he was the Alpha of all Alphas when we already had a man for that job and he was still well and alive. And of course, he got spiteful as I wanted. Two hours after I sent him the letter that I was coming over for the discussion of owning the mill land, the man sent back to me 3 pages long words to tell me why it was wrong for me to fix a meeting alone when it involved two packs. Not only that, but he also pointed out how rude it was for me to make the meeting place his pack without prior notice. I could still remember how hard I laughed when I finished reading the letter. I jerked a hand in my jet-black hair as my eyes roamed around the living room. My eyes fell on a s
Damon's POV After waiting for what felt like forever, Alpha River finally made his appearance out of the room that I took him to and came to the meeting place. True to his words, the man had on a suit for the meeting purpose. A corporate business suit at that. I felt lost in my simple shirt and jeans trousers. I would have gone up to change also if it didn’t seem to me that the man would feel that he just managed to intimidate me. "Shall we begin?" He asked me, tapping his fingers impatiently on the table that separated us. "In a hurry?" I asked him as I continued to watch him tapping his fingers. "You should have thought about that before you took two hours to take a bath," I finished. His eyes flashed at me, and I spread my hands out to mock him some more. Call me petty but I wouldn't mind. "Are we ever going to talk about the mill, or are you leaving the ownership to me? As it should be?" He asked. I slammed my hands on the table, startling both my Beta and his. "How dare you
Miss Kardashian's POV I watched from the corners where I had been eavesdropping as Alpha Damon walked out of the meeting chamber, angry that he had lost what seemed to be important to him. While I would love to console him over his loss, I knew that I would be planning my suicide if I tried that. First, the man would be furious with me if he discovered that I was listening in on what should have been a confidentiality meeting to safeguard the secrets of the two packs. If he forgave me for that, I was sure that the anger in his mind would blind him so much that he wouldn't care who he hurt in his rage. That was the scary thing about the Alpha. The scariest thing that even a child in the pack knew about. Once the man was angry, never go anywhere around him unless you were ready to plot your demise by yourself. Once he got angry, he didn't care about anyone or anything. In fact, his wolf was already given charge over his body voluntarily. With his wolf mirroring his emotions, the anim
Alpha River's POV The win I just garnered from the meeting I had with Alpha Damon was sweet to my belly. I stood up from where I was and went out of the room his Beta had taken me to earlier so that we would not kill ourselves. Of course, the Beta, Beta Victor I think, came over to where I was and tried to attend to me. I smiled inwardly, knowing how hard it must have been for the stoic man to act like all was well between us. "Don't worry, I can see myself to the room," I said to him. I could tell that he was amazed by the words that I spoke. Under normal circumstances, I was supposed to leave the Night Wolves Pack to allow the Alpha to cool off his steam. Yet, I wanted to stay behind and give him a hard time. "You are supposed to be leaving this pack!" Beta Stephan growled at me. "You have no right to address my Alpha like that!" Beta Victor, my Beta, growled right back at the other man. I ignored both of them and decided to walk away. The fact was, they were two strong-headed
Evie's POV "Stop!" I heard the command and froze. I was sure that Miss Kardashian heard it also since the whip she lifted to hit me froze in midair. I looked up to see who it was that had given the command. Was it Damon? Was he finally back and ready to remind Miss Kardashian that I was now a free woman? But who I saw standing by the third step that led upstairs was not Alpha Damon. It was the man who walked in earlier on. I was confused about what his order seemed to be entrailed about. Why had he suddenly yelled the command? "Why did you stop? Continue your work right now!" Miss Kardashian yelled at me. I quickly bowed my head and resumed back my scrubbing. "I said stop! Drop that rag right now!" The man yelled again. I didn't bother to listen to him. I was not going to listen to him when I knew that I was the one who was going to suffer the consequences. My response to him must have hiked him because he came to where I was. I risked a glance at him and saw his hazel eye
