Damon's POV As soon as I saw that she was awake, I darted to her side of the bed. She tried to sit up, but I placed a hand on her shoulder to tell her to relax. She winced at my touch, and I took my hand off her, realizing that I had just touched one of her injuries."I'll leave you two then." My Beta said."Are you okay?" I asked Evie as soon as I heard the door click shut. She continued to stare at me blankly, scaring me out of my wit. I moved a hand over her face and relaxed when she blinked and also followed the movement. When I dropped my hand, her eyes continued to roam around the room."Where am I? Who are you?" She asked after about a minute.I was about to get up to get her water to drink when I heard her utter those words. I paused midway and looked at her in astonishment. What did she mean by that question when this was not her first time in the room?Even if she couldn't comprehend the room because she had just woken up, why would she not be able to recognize me?"Who are
Evie's POV If there was one thing that was running through my mind, it was the fact that I felt like hell. All my body was sore, and I felt like I could actually collapse if it went on. But even if I collapsed, I was sure that sleep would still elude me because of how long I slept. The last I remembered, I was about to be hit with a sharp knife. The next thing I knew, I was waking up on the Alpha's bed.My reaction to that? I ran!I ran and ran until my legs felt like they would give way under me. It was when I paused for a breath that Rebecca and Grace caught up with me. They expressed their worries and their apologies for what happened to me. Of course, I brushed it off and let them know that none of it was their fault. After spending about thirty minutes with them, I found a way to discard them, not wanting to be around them as I was not in the right frame of my mind.Once I was left all alone, I went over to the waterfall that the Alpha took me to. As I sat there, on one of the r
Damon's POV Approximately 5 hours later, we were in the city. The gasp that still left Evie's mouth as she took her first step on the human world's soil was something I wouldn't forget that quickly in a role. To say she was astonished would be putting it mildly."Wow!" She said, pointing to a tower by the airport. She turned around and smiled at me. "Thank you so much for this." She said with a bow of her head.I nodded at her to accept her thanksgiving, but I felt bad just watching her enthusiasm. If only she knew what I did or tried to do by bringing her with me, then she might hate me instead of feeling grateful. I mean, this was someone that I just wanted to see if I would be able to get into an elaborate trap that I set up with her. What the trap was? That would be just getting her into the city world. The rest would take care of themselves once she was here.I sighed, as she placed a hat over her head to protect her face. As she examined all around, she would occasionally turn
Evie's POV As soon as we got to the hotel Alpha Damon reserved for the visit, he left me alone in the living room and just barged into a room which I assumed was where he chose for himself to get stayed until our one week to the city was done.I couldn't understand the reason behind his abrupt change in behavior toward me. Over the last few weeks when he had changed toward me a lot and was now a nice person, I had grown comfortable around him and even thought that he wasn't as bad as I thought that he was. True, the scar I got from all his maltreatment still lived in me and made me flinch now and then around him, but the companionship was something I would take any time of the day than his coldness toward me. That was why I did everything I could to please him. I wasn't so sure if the reason why he was like that was that I almost made the mistake of calling him Alpha at the airport. That shouldn't matter a lot since no human had been around when I uttered those words. After all, he
Damon's POV How could she leave when a knock came? How could she leave just like that?The stupid knock came again, and I was tempted to snap the neck of whoever was at the other end. I inhaled to calm myself down, then cleared my throat."Come in!" I yelled a little forcefully. I moved to the sofa and barely sat down when a woman walked in. From the clothes she put on, I could easily tell that she was a worker at the hotel. What the hell did she want then?"Sorry to interrupt you, sir. But there is a call for you at our desk. We rang your room multiple times, but you wouldn't pick up, so we had to come to check on you." She explained apologetically.My raging nerves calmed when I realized they only did what they did for me."Oh. I guess I was just busy." I stood up from where I sat and stretched a bit. "I'll go and respond now," I told her, giving her a charming smile to apologize for making her walk to this place. I wanted her to leave as soon as possible so I could return to my bu
Evie's POV Something was wrong with the Alpha.With the way the man rushed out of the room, I was sure that something was up with him. Even before he ran out, I saw the way his canines were extended as if he saw a prey he would like to feast upon, and his face was concocted into a deep frown when he was lying stop me.Two contrasting details.A blush stained my cheek as the memory of what the Alpha and I did replay in my brain. I blame myself for everything that happened. After I ran away from the Alpha, I should have realized that the man was so close to me and that anything I did would get to him. Gosh! Why did I have to moan so loud like that? If only I had kept my mouth shut and all my feelings were bottled up, I wouldn't have fallen for what happened again. Why did it seem like I had done nothing but fall into the hands of the Alpha ever since the first time I saw him naked in a room when I was sick? But then again, the man had done nothing but tried to get into my pants since
Alpha River's POV It was hard to stay away from her. All these while, after she warned me never to approach her again, I couldn't find it in my heart to let go of the thoughts of her that continued to plague me all day long. So, I asked my informant in the camp of Alpha Damon's packhouse and he let me know about their visit to the city for some business. Of course, I made sure he got every detail for me that he could.And voila, that paid off.I was worried about how to approach her since I knew that Damon would also be going with her, but luck had decided to shine on me when the man left earlier and I happened to be in the lobby. Getting to Evie after that was as easy as ABC then."Alpha River, where are we going to?" She asked me."Oh, we are going sightseeing. I know this is your land but I can assure you that I know some pretty cool places that would leave you astonished," I told her."Can you stop dragging me, please?" She asked. I stopped walking immediately. She smiled at me b
Evie's POV I knew that I should just push Alpha River off me the moment he attempted to kiss me. It had been so obvious in the way he held his arms around me and tugged me closer to him. But the truth was I had no desire to tell him off so soon. I wanted to see for myself if the explanation I gave about humans being in heat season was true.I needed to know if the reason why I kept fantasizing about Alpha Damon and even giving in to each of his sexual advances were because I had the heat period going on for me or if it was because I was possessed by something I had no idea what.Either way, I was bound to find out with my little escapade with Alpha River. So, I moved one of my hands to the back of his head and also balanced the other one on the grass, then leaned in even further and began to kiss him in delight. The man must have noticed my enthusiasm because he deepened the kiss. I drank in his lips hungrily and even flattened a hand on his chest.After about a minute, I pulled away
