Eva's POV "Eva, right? I've been looking forward to meeting you." Mason stated, a sadistic smirk painting his lips.I simply growled in reply, my lips curling into a snarl as I held his gaze. I felt desperate, my wolf and I couldn't wait to snap his neck.Both Mason and Nathan's chuckled, staring at me with amusement in their eyes.A sudden shift in my emotions hit me as I stared at Nathan, no longer recognizing him as someone I had been with.Someone who I had shared my life with for years, the caring and kind person I had met. One that loved both Luara and me.There was no sense of guilt or regret within his eyes and that terrified me, he had once held a place in my heart. This wasn't the Nathan that I knew, and I couldn't understand why he was doing this."Why?" I questioned."Why Nathan, why are you doing this?" I asked, my gaze catching his. It came out like a whisper, but my anger slipped through.He said nothing and continued to stand there, his posture still and cold, staring

Luara's POV (Years Later)Having to walk through the corridors of Oakville high school on my first day of senior year was the last thing I wanted to do on a Monday morning. In fact, I would prefer to never have to grace my presence in this school again. But apparently according to my mom, that is not an option.So after scrapping that idea this morning, I forced myself out of bed not bothering to add any makeup. It's not like it would improve my appearance, after all a 5-inch scar is a permanent reminder of what happened 14 years ago between my parents and a crazed rogue.I don't fully remember what happened and I've never asked, my mother constantly wants to talk about it to see if it can help me but I personally think it's unnecessary. Why talk about something I don't want to remember?It still hurts my mom to think about and having it as a constant reminder on my face doesn't help. She even tries to reassure me that I'm still beautiful but that doesn't stop people from staring.As

Luara's POV Before Bryan could even take one more step toward me, I turned and ran.I pumped my legs faster the moment I heard a thundering growl quake through the woods. I knew they were close behind but I continued to run, dodging trees and heading straight for the territory line.I knew I had a chance to escape if I managed to get across to my father's land but there still was a chance that Bryan would ignore the laws of the territories just to catch me.I wanted to turn around to see how far away he was but I continued running knowing that he probably wasn't far behind. Luckily, I had Alpha blood so I was faster than any of them, except for Bryan. As I got closer to the territory line, my wolf began crying, trying to fight against the separation I was trying to put between us and our mate.I refused to turn back. How could my mate be Bryan Daniels? I've heard the stories. They say he's a malicious monster with no heart. Too evil for a mate. He takes pleasure in torturing and tak

Luara's POVWithin a week I knew I would begin to experience heat. I had already decided that I would be stubborn and force myself to stay away from Bryan no matter how much my body ached and craved for him.I felt my body go slightly weak when Bryan lightly glazed his finger over his mark on my neck causing my eyes to close shut from instinct.A low growl rumbled through his chest forcing me from my daze. From the faraway look on his face, I could tell he was communicating with a pack member via mind link."Stay here, I'll know if you leave. There's no point trying to escape as there are wolves guarding the whole perimeter of this house." He said before making his way out of the room.I rolled my eyes at his retreating figure. Of course, he's got pack wolves guarding the house which didn't mean I wouldn't attempt to escape anyway.Racing towards the closest bedroom window, I pulled on the latch only to find out that it was locked. I huffed in frustration before racing to the next one

Luara's POV I could practically see the internal battle through his eyes as he fought with his wolf over my comment. Having a family was a bit of a sore subject for him, it was something he valued tremendously.Thankfully it worked, even if it was a low blow to use his emotions against him.I watched him click his neck, moving his head side to side before a low growl hummed in the back of his throat."You stay at my side the whole time, you can try to run but you will fail. I will slaughter each and every single wolf your father has brought with him if you even attempt to leave."His words carried a promise and I knew he was capable of the underlining treat he gave me."Okay." I nodded. He gave me a small nod after staring into my eyes for a minute trying to see if I was up to anything.Grabbing my hand and quickly giving Lopez a kiss on the cheek, he began telling her to stay inside the house, making sure to mention guards surrounding the building. Bryan then pulled me through the h
