Evie's POV Someone was chasing me! Chasing me hard, with no hope of them backing away from me no matter how hard I ran! And run I did, not willing to let myself be caught by whoever the force was. I continued to run until I got to the end of the street, where there was nowhere else to run or hide. The figure chasing me got to where I was and gave an eerie laugh. I shivered from the negative aura coming from the person. "Today is the day you die!" The voice yelled at me. I tried to look at the person to see if it was someone I knew, but the cloak covering the face made it entirely impossible. I couldn't recognize the voice either because it seemed to be distorted by some kind of force. The figure turned into a wolf before my eyes, and I staggered backward. Not because it was a wolf, but because the wolf was looking like a half-human and half-monster. The only way to tell that it was in its wolf firm was the black fur covering the body. I could feel the air of vengeance surrounding

Damon's POV I didn't need to think twice about the idea of getting her a phone. It was the most plausible way to get her to be able to get in touch with me whenever she wanted to. But first, I needed to make sure she was going to be okay while I was out to get the phone for her. I ignored the work I was doing and went to see her at the library. She was still there, deeply focused on the book she was reading that she didn't even notice that I was in the room with her. I cleared my throat to get her attention. The moment she looked up and saw that I was the one, she got up from where she sat and winced immediately."Ouch!" She groaned, holding her side of the stomach.I rushed over to her. "Are you okay?" I asked her.She got away from my hold and stepped back, putting a considerable distance between us. I closed my hands which were still extended when I tried to help her."I-I am sorry, Master. I didn't mean to make you run like th-that." She stammered to me.She was still scared of m

Damon's POV The way she kept dragging her feet to where I was seated showed that she only listened to the command because she was scared. To encourage her and make her feel at ease with me, I smiled at her. Instead of easing her fears as I planned, the smile only made her much more reluctant with me and she turned ashen with fear.I understood her reactions to me perfectly. While it would have been easier to deny, I knew she was like that to me because of the way I treated her in the past. I was her tormentor and I executed the name perfectly. So, of course, she was going to be wary of a man like me who showed her a lot of ill-treatment. Even though she was already like this with me, I was determined to show her a new side of me that was reserved only for a few people whom I valued. It might take longer, but I was ready to make her change her opinion of me."Sit down," I ordered her when she finally got to where I was. She sat down and folded her hands on the table. When I looked at

Evie's POV I was in trouble. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me that. It was all glaring from the way Miss Kardashian stood by the door, her tall frame looking down on me where I sat. The book I had in my hands fell, but I didn't notice the entire thing. I just wanted the ground to open up and swallow me. Maybe that would be the easier way to get out of the mess I was currently in."I got you now, didn't I?" Her venomous voice rang straight to me. I died and rose a million times in my imagination of how the woman was going to deal with me. What if she decided that she was not going to beat me up this time around? What if, like the last time she treated me wrongly, she breaks my other arm and makes me have another internal damage? Or what if she decided that she was going to beat me till I fell dead?Tears began to slip from my eyes despite knowing that it was wrong to show the woman some sort of weakness about myself. She would prey on it and make me experience more emotional tur

Damon's POV I was broken at the age of fifteen. The time to grieve, vent, and heal from my raw emotions was not given to me. How could I get anything like that? I was the only child and the next in line for the position of the Alpha -a position I dreaded after seeing what happened to my parents. Right, my parents!They were the people I made sure that I never thought about ever since the unfortunate incident happened back then. To fulfill my duty as the next Alpha, I chose to shut them out completely from my life. At first, I was this scared young boy that was afraid of suddenly dying just as his parents did. Then, I decided in my heart that I was not going to end up like my parents and was intentional about doing everything that I could to fulfill that promise that I made to myself.That made me a hardened man as I had to let go of my bottled-up emotions one way or the other. The relief came in the form of anger after a man accidentally bumped into me. I ordered him to be flogged.
