EVIE POV I sat under the shower for hours, I didn’t feel clean enough. I wished I could crawl out of my own skin and get into a new one. Atlas gave up on knocking several hours ago so it was safe to assume that he already left. What has happened to me in the span of twenty four hours—not even up to that, feels like a horrible nightmare I’ll never wake up from. Finally turning off the shower, I got up, stepping out of my wet clothes. Realizing I didn’t bring any clean clothes to the bathroom, I opened the door, only to immediately shut it at the sight of Atlas getting up from the floor. “Ethan, please, talk to me.” He pleaded, knocking at the door again. “I’m worried about you.” “Could you get me something from the kitchen please? I’m starving and would like to eat something.” I waited, hoping he would take the cue.It wasn’t exactly a lie, I was starving and I desperately needed to get the taste of cum out of my mouth. Brushing four times didn’t help, at this point I don’t think

EVIE POV I was able to avoid Ethan’s ‘room-mate’ for the time being, but for how long? Each time someone bumped into me in the hallway, I jumped, fearing it was the Alphas. Their playful ‘see you at lunch’ was a threat to me even though it might not have sounded that way when they said it. When it’s finally lunch hour, I’ve already figured out a way to avoid them. Mixing myself into the first rush of crowd into the dining hall, I grab a tray and a lunch set. I was among the first few people to wait in line, meaning they wasted no time to serve me. I race toward the exit, looking forward to eating my food alone in the dorm. I was almost out of the door when someone suddenly grabbed my collar. The way everyone froze for a second was enough to tell me who it was. I slowly turned around, my heart leaping into my throat as I came face to face with the Alphas. The one on the left was holding on to my collar with an amused expression on his face. “You’re having lunch with us.” The midd

EVIE POV “Wait—” I subconsciously heard the shock in the tone as I was dropped to the ground. I crawled into a ball, whimpering and clutching my breasts, while gasping for hair at the same time. Shutting my eyes in the hopes of blocking everything out, my hands tightened around my chest as I felt hands starting to pry them open. Struggling was useless and frankly I hurt too much to put up much of a fight. Once they successfully pushed my hands out of the way, they started to unbutton my chest which caused me to resume struggling. However my hands were pinned down, I thrash as my shirt gave away. The camisole top I wore under the uniform was lifted, revealing my binder. I wanted to die, Ethan was right. They were evil! The silence that follows the revelation has me holding my breath, not like I got much choice anyway as I was still finding it difficult to breathe properly. “What the fuck?” Came a puzzled growl that has me wincing and shrinking away. “Is that…boobs?” I could hea

EVIE POV My mouth flew open as my brain tried to comprehend the scene unfolding in front of me. Three large students, student over another one, kicking, punching and burning a pack of cigarettes on his body. The boy cries helplessly, begging them to stop. The more he screams for help, the more his bullies laugh, urging him to scream louder. Realizing I could have been subjected to this treatment as well… or worse. As tears blurred my vision, I looked around for any sign of professors or better yet the Dean as the scene isn’t that far from his office. But what did I expect from a man who watches pornography in school! Looking back at the others, no one made a move to step in. In fact they look as though it was a daily occurrence and that made my chest hurt more. Those who couldn’t bear to watch any longer, begin to walk away. I inch forward, stopping myself in time before I intervene. Getting in the middle of that might blow my cover and besides, I can help the poor boy by exposi

EVIE POV “Disguising yourself as a boy to go to an all boys academy is insane!” Mom yelled, looking at me like I had gone insane. “Especially when the school in question isn’t exactly known for being kind to its students.” “Don’t you get it Mom?” I cast a look at my Dad for help. “The school board said there’s no evidence that suggested that Ethan was bullied despite the bruises all over his body. Once I’m able to get the evidence to prove it, Ethan will finally get the justice he deserves.” A sound came from the doorway, pulling us away from our argument to look at my twin brother Ethan. Seeing him standing there, looking confused, wounded and hurt makes my chest hurt the most. Anger stirred up in my guts at what has been done to him. Ethan has always had a hard time due to his autism. Growing up together means I was always there to protect him, until we had to go our separate ways for college. It was a decision that was hard on both me and our parents, but Ethan was determined

KIAN He knew something was wrong immediately Wolf started to bark and act relentlessly, the last time he had been this way was when they found Xavie. I scoot in front of the dog, stroking its fur in an attempt to calm him down which usually works but this time it didn’t work for a couple of minutes. “Alpha Kian.” He looked up as his name was being called, letting his men handle Wolf for the time being, he stood up to approach the man who had called him. As they shook hands, he looked around the place for any sign of Alpha Thane. “We believe Alpha Thane is still on his way here, and where is your official translator?” The other man asked, while also looking at his side. He merely smirked and shrugged his shoulders, providing no explanation and even though he could, he didn’t want to. He wasn’t here to negotiate peace, he only came to give Alpha Thane a warning and to discontinue their peace treaty. To his disappointment, Alpha Thane's vehicle pulled up next to his. When he emer

XAVIEI appreciated Kian's absence more after he left. As it turned out, even though I have never hosted any event before, I really handled everything well, approved by both Drake and Tint. The guests had started to arrive but I was more interested in two particular guests I had invited, Alec and Annika. The two were among the last people to show up, knowing Annika, she had a knack for attention and the displeased expression that crossed her face as soon as she saw me, made me smile inwardly. Who did she think they were coming here to meet? Raising my dress a little, I approached them, keeping my face as emotionless as I could muster. “Lady Nyxia.” Alec reached for my hand, placing a kiss at the back of it. Once upon a time, I found that mouth pleasurable but now? The skin where his mouth touched made my skin crawl with disgust. Withdrawing my hand from his when he still lingered, what a shameless man! Annika was basically standing next to him, not that I feel sorry for her. She

KIAN The grand hall was the formal dining hall, where he wine and dine with the most important members of his pack, like the delta wolves, the council, his Beta when he had one. After Malia's death, any desire to socialize died with her, so he stopped coming to the dining hall until tonight…He walked into the room with Xavie attached to his side, having seen how repulsed she was with the idea of pretending to be in love with him, he couldn’t wait for dinner to be over so she wouldn’t have to suffer any more of his presence. Everyone in the room seemed to pause once they became aware of their presence. They stood up as a sign of respect and acknowledgement, he pulled out a chair for Xavie then went to settle down next to her. Once they were seated, everyone took their seat too, he could hear the hushed conversations being whispered but pretend not to. Tint came in after them, after greeting everyone on the table, she sat down, her eyes moving back and forth from me to Xavie and bac

XAVIE After flower picking with Hilda, I have been pacing round the private sitting area waiting for Kian to finish with his meetings so we can have a chat about Hilda’s concern. Something needs to be done before these rumours spun out of control, to be honest, it was already spinning out of control. But then it occurred to me that we have no way of communicating with each other without Tint and if she follows us around, people will just start other rumors like we have a third or something. I collapsed on the sofa, only to rise up a few seconds later as a very brilliant idea crossed my mind. I went into the bedroom, pulling out one of the drawers I’ve seen Kian take a journal out of. I found a small journal there, several if I was being honest. I took a pen from my dressing mirror table and went back to the sitting area to wait for him. With the journal, we won’t need Tint to follow us around translating his words to me when he could just write them down and pass it over for me to

KIANA message was brought to him just as he was about to leave his study, he sat back beyond his desk, tearing open the envelope. He glanced up briefly when a knock sounded on the door and Tint strolled into the room to take a seat. He held up a finger, telling her to wait while he read the content of the letter. It came from the higher council, they wanted him and Alpha Thane to have a peace negotiation which is too bad because he was really looking forward to snapping the man’s head from his thick neck on the battlefield. He pushed the letter under a journal, turning his attention back to Tint, he motioned for her to go ahead and say what she wanted. “Okay, I understand you don’t want me involved in your plans but Malia was my best friend, you can’t keep shutting me out when I can help.” She insisted, he almost forgot how stubborn Tint can be, after all she had been friends with his sister, who was as stubborn as they come. The thought of his sister made his chest tightened, a

XAVIE When Hilda had suggested flower picking, I thought it was something fun, like stopping to smell the roses or something. But instead I was helping her examine plants and picking some herbs. I didn’t complain though, I was in desperate need of some company so I quietly did the job she assigned me. I soon noticed her frequently glancing in my direction and thought at first maybe she was worried I wasn’t doing it right but then I realised she wasn’t looking at the herbs we were picking but at me. Even though she’s pretty much the only person that talks to me around here, Hilda was still a stranger to me. “Am I doing it wrong?” I asked, pausing in the act of picking another flower. She shook her head. “It seems to me like you and Alpha Kian are going out of your way to avoid each other, the servants are talking and once they start, be sure the entire pack is going to be aware of it too.” My eyes widened at her words as I grew nervous. “I’d like to think people have something bet
