EvaThe matter with the Rogue Luna was forgotten and it was a relief when I woke up one morning, two days after the unfortunate event, not thinking about her. After washing up in the bathroom, I went to have breakfast in the kitchen along with everyone else. Today it was scrambled eggs and a side of toast. Some people chose to have bacon but I skipped that. I washed it down with a cup of black coffee and felt energized. When was the last time I actually had breakfast?Since my days were mostly uneventful, I had plenty of time to kill until…well, I had time to kill in general. Not having much to do came with its advantages, too. I didn’t have to worry about unnecessary things and could focus on whatever I wanted. Lately, I’d been thinking about going back to praying. I didn’t have my prayer book with me but it wasn’t really necessary as I knew the prayers by heart. Keeping the prayer book was mostly a force of habit. The issue was that I didn’t feel clean enough to pray. I needed a

CyrusI was sick and tired of this shit.Kolton Underwood was officially one of the worst people I’d ever encountered. It wasn’t even that I’d seen him commit some gruesome crime because nothing he could do to another human being would scare me. I myself happened to be a ruthless man, and I had to do some things to people when I became Alpha, people who were after me and my position. People who wanted to fuck me over and drag my family name through the mud. I wasn’t proud of those things, but that didn’t mean I wouldn’t do it all over again. I wouldn’t let anyone take away what was mine, and I was someone who would always fight till the death. The reason why I said Kolton was horrible was because of his cynicism. If I wasn’t sure that he wouldn’t stand me before, I was sure of it now. Yet he kept me close and always tried to make sure I was comfortable. He’d send his daughter Leonora to my room to find out what I wanted but I knew it was all a tactic. He was hoping I would fall int

NoxHaving Eva in my arms was a feeling like no other. For nights, I’d been dreaming of this moment. I fantasized it every time I found myself distracted. Everything I was wished to claim her, and now that she was here with me, with her fingers in my hair and her tongue submitting to mine, I felt like I was in heaven. I picked her up and carried her to my desk. I would’ve taken her to my room but it was too far and anyway, I had no privacy there. The walls were too thin, and it was too close to other rooms. Earlier, I had sensed her hesitance. But this time, there was none. I put her down on the desk, my hands roaming her body. She was so perfect. I couldn’t stop touching her. I slowly peeled her shirt off her body. Eva raised her hands, assisting me in undressing her. What was this newfound change? Where did it come from? As I asked myself this, I realized that I wasn’t a proud man. On the contrary. She’d rejected me earlier right when we were in the middle of things but I didn’t

CyrusWhen the next day started, I didn’t know just how badly it would have ended. There was still no news of Eva, and honestly, I was starting to think that Kolton was merely tricking me into staying here for some twisted plan. Did he even have information on Eva? How did I know that he and that rogue bitch could be trusted?What if Eva was never spotted here and I was just wasting my time? Confronting Kolton about this would lead to nothing. I only had two options: Getting the fuck out of here or seeing where all this bullshit would end. I couldn’t recall a more tedious time of my life. I felt like I was wasting away in this place. There was so much work to do back home and I was killing time here without the certainty that Eva would be alright. As a result of my thoughts, I was in a terrible mood. I went to grab breakfast downstairs like I usually did and came across Leonora. The sight of her sickened me, for some reason. I acted like I didn’t see her—she was walking toward me—b

EvaNox arrived very late in the night. "Awake?" he asked when I turned around to look at him. "Yeah, couldn't sleep," I revealed. He crawled in bed next to me. His scent was so therapeutic. I shoved my face in his chest and he held me tight. "How was everything?""Things are going as planned," he simply said. "We've got everything sorted out for tomorrow."Tomorrow. Since it was around two in the morning, it still felt like it would be in two days. I was terrified of this event. Nox was definitely risking his life by doing this. Things might not go as planned. He could die. That thought made me sick to my stomach. "What's wrong? You're tense.""I'm not necessarily excited about you doing this," I answered. "There are risks involved and I know that man's reputation by now.""Don't worry about it," he said dismissively. Saying more would make it seem like I was negative and didn't have much faith in his plan, so I kept my lips sealed. My doubts and fears wouldn't help him, I kne
