Alpha Damon's POV "Evie!" I yelled when I saw her eyes closing slowly. I bent over and grabbed her before her body would hit the cold hard floor. Even as I wrapped her around myself, my eyes still darted around to see if I could get a glimpse of the culprit.If I did, I swear to the moon goddess that whoever it was would be breathing their last and that was on a period.How bold of the person to attack somebody when they were with me! They must be tired of living.The guards stationed at the meeting hall raced to where I was and bowed their heads quickly before they surrounded me, their weapons ready to shield me."Find that damn shooter for me!" I yelled at them. I pointed in the direction the arrow came from. "There!"I picked Evie up and rushed back in the direction of the mansion. On the way, I mind-linked the doctor to come over. I also got Stephan and Samuel to let them in on what was going on. All the Omegas began to wail the moment they saw me rushing Evie in."She's not goi
Miss Kardashian's POV"So, did you do what I asked you to?" I asked the moment the doctor stepped into his office. He seemed startled by my voice as he looked up. When he saw me twirling in his chair, he sighed."How did you know she is going to be injured?" He asked me even as he took off his coat and hung it on the wall. He turned to me and sighed. "But no, I didn't do what you asked me to. There is no way I am going to kill an innocent person because you asked me to. Especially not when the person in question is a person I like." He turned away from me and began to sort his pieces of equipment back into place.How dare he refused my order? I thought as I banged my hands on the table in front of me, disrupting everything on the table as he had disrupted everything I had laid carefully to plan.It was such an easy task that I set before him. All he had to do was mix poison into the ointment that he was supposed to use on the wound that vixen whore acquired from the marksman I sent to
Evie's POV I was back to the enclosed ice I was trapped in in the desert. I winced as I saw myself in the cube, looking almost lifeless. The land and everything around it were not in any way more fertile compared to the last time I saw it in my dream. It was still the same - all dull and lifeless. Then, on the other end was the fertile land. Of course, there was also a me that was looking plum and nourished."Why am I back here?" I cried from the spot where I stood on the fertile land."You have to hurry. I can't hold on for long anymore." My dull self cried from where she was enclosed in the cube. "What do you mean?" I asked because I got genuinely concerned about the words she spoke. The last time I saw her, all we talked about was just me being fast, not about not having enough time. For an answer, she merely extended her fingers to me. Or rather her claws as they were what I saw instead of short nails. I furrowed my eyes in confusion, not knowing what to think."You have to hur
Alpha Damon's POV I have had enough of all the nonsense that these people were playing with me. From the way Evie had reacted ever since she woke up, I was sure that she was tired of it also. There was no way I was going to give these people any more chances to provoke me. If they wanted to see a monster, then they would definitely see me in that form."Stephan, gather everyone to the hall for an emergency meeting. When I said everyone, I meant everyone. No one is excluded, not even the guards patrolling the border," I instructed the man."But without the guards, an attack could–" He tried to argue."–I said, no one is fucking excluded from the damn meeting!" I yelled at him, letting my frustration take hold of me. I ignored everyone as they all shivered from the force of the Alpha command that I used. I heard the door open and click shut rapidly, indicating that my Beta had gone for the task I gave him."We will head over to the meeting hall then." The Gamma said. Everyone left as h
Evie's POV All my life, I always thought that I was the most enduring person that could ever live. But today, I was proved wrong.I didn't know what did me in to make me turn into a crybaby. Perhaps, it was the way Alpha Damon had looked really furious when he was talking about the attempt on my life. It was such a clear contrast from the man I always saw in the past. Or maybe it was when he announced that I was his mate. After all, I had thought that the man was ashamed of me since he called the marking an accident.I didn't know which one it was, but all I knew was that now that he said everything he said and acted the way he did, the waterwork was hard to stop.I could tell that my action faxed him as he just kept patting my back to soothe me. My back was hunched as I kept burying my face into his chest as much as I could possibly do. I cried until the tears refused to flow again. Once I was a lot calmer, I stepped away from him and cleared my throat."Are you okay?" He asked me.
Miss Kardashian's POV Why was it that every time I thought that I made progress about eliminating that woman called Evie, she only seemed to go further ahead of me? Why in the name of jade was that? She was supposed to be deceased this time! But what? She got announced as the Alpha's mate instead?I should have known that something was fishy about the way the man had been all protective of the woman ever since Alpha River took her to his pack and Damon had gone over to get her back. Was that when he realized that she was his mate? Or was it a long way back and that was why he hated her at first?Well, all of that didn't matter at this moment. What mattered the most was that I find a way to eliminate the woman once and for all. I had allowed her to go for too long, getting on my nerves, and ruining my plan. This time, the damage she caused was more than what even her death could simply fix. I would have to go ahead and try to win the Alpha's favor back from scratch as years of hard
Alpha Damon's POV The Elders had all called for an emergency meeting the second day after I announced Evie as my mate. I didn't know what the motive of the meeting was, but I was at peace because I knew that we were not under any attack.Still, I knew that whatever it was that they wanted to discuss so urgently that they had to summon me had to be something that was very important or they wouldn't have done that. I would know once I got to the meeting hall."Let's hurry up," I told Samuel. Stephan was not with us as he went to check out a trail about the former managing director that I fired from my company, who went awol on the people I sent to capture him."Yes, Alpha." My Gamma responded.We got to the meeting hall and saw that all the Elders were already present. However, when they saw me, most of them became uncomfortable. It was so bad that I spotted sweat on the foreheads of two of them, while another one seemed to be sweating all over. Somehow, I felt that whatever it was tha
Miss Kardashian's POV "We are sorry, Miss Kardashian, but we would like to let you know that we have no desire to oppose Miss Evie as the future Luna." One of the Elders, the one who was chosen to share the news with me, said to me.My eyes flashed anger at the man. So, they had all chosen to defile me at the end of the day?"You don't care if I tell the Alpha your wrongdoings?!" I screeched at him."Even if you threaten us, we still won't stand with you. Alpha Damon is changing into a more humane person, and we all know it is because of Miss Evie. And you want us to chase her away? Why? So we can resume the reign of terror you pushed the Alpha to do when you were still his favorite?" He countered back.I raised my hand to slap him but his words stopped me."If you slap me, I won't hesitate to do the same. You can't report to the Alpha as you are no longer in favor with him." He said with a knowing smile. "Delusional woman like you should get something else to do and not rely on a ma
