Evangeline's POV

The world came back to me in fragments.

A sharp, pulsing throb behind my eyes. The dry sting of air forced into my lungs. The faint beeping of machines—steady, cold. And the sterile smell. Hospitals had a scent that never changed, no matter where you were. Bleach, sickness, and something faintly metallic like blood masked under layers of antiseptic.

I blinked against the too-bright light above me, and a pained groan escaped my throat. My head felt like it had been split down the middle, as if someone had taken a hammer to it.

“Easy,” a voice said gently from beside me. Male. Calm and professional.

I turned my head, slowly, and pain lanced through my skull like a blade. My hand instinctively rose to my temple, and I felt the thick gauze wrapped there.

“You’ve had quite a fall,” the man said again. A doctor, maybe in his late thirties, with tired eyes and a clipboard in hand. “You’re lucky to be alive.”

I squinted. My voice came out raspy. “Where… where am I?”

  • Alpha CEO Desired Me After Divorce   Feels strange

    Evangeline's POV The way Nathalie was looking at me. I couldn’t shake it off, not even as I tried to laugh it off, tried to force the moment to feel lighter and less significant. “I don’t really know much about the company,” I said with a shrug, shifting the grocery basket in my hands. “I just started a few weeks ago. Everything’s kind of a smooth.” It wasn’t a complete lie. There were things I still didn’t understand about Hunter’s Skyville since I started working there. The rules were strange, the security tighter than any corporation I had researched about and Damien…the new CEO after my ex-boss, Elias....hmm I tried not to think about him now. Tried not to let his name pull heat into my stomach or irritation to my tongue. But Nathalie’s gaze lingered on me, quiet and very curious. She didn’t press further but just smiled again, soft and glowing, like she was reassured. “No worries. It just came up when I was researching the area. The name stood out, you know?” I nodded li

  • Alpha CEO Desired Me After Divorce   A werewolf Hunter Within

    Evangeline's POVThe morning sun filtered through the cheap curtains like golden fingertips, brushing against my cheek, coaxing me awake.I didn’t move.For a long moment, I just lay there—staring at the ceiling of the hotel room I’d booked for the month. It wasn’t home. At least it was mine for now. My little corner of the world. Temporary, but still a place to breathe.Eventually, I dragged myself up and padded to the bathroom. I let the shower run a bit too hot, let it sting the skin on my back until the fog in my head started to clear. Still, I couldn’t shake the weight in my chest.The dream had come again. The forest. The eyes. The feeling of being watched.I pushed it aside like I always did. Ever since I left Nathan and moved on, I have been having weird dreams especially each time I had a tantrum with that cold-hearted CEO.After dressing in high-waisted jeans and a soft knit top earthy green, my comfort color, I tied my curls into a loose bun and grabbed my tote. It was the

  • Alpha CEO Desired Me After Divorce   Unusual and Uncanny

    Damien's POVThe room swallowed me whole the moment I stepped in. I didn’t bother turning on the light. Moonlight bled in through the high windows, casting silver streaks across the floor, over the corners, like the house itself was holding its breath. The silence here was different, denser and much personal. Edward’s voice still echoed faintly in my head, but I shoved it away as I shut the door behind me and locked it. The click of the lock felt final. I crossed the room, my footsteps heavy against the floors, until I reached the built-in shelf tucked discreetly behind a wall panel. Gave it One push, and it opened with a low sigh. Inside sat a single bottle. Dark amber. Aged longer than some wars I’ve fought in. I pulled it free without hesitation, uncorked it, and downed the first swallow like it owed me pain. The burn hit instantly. Deep in my chest, like fire catching bone. I didn’t stop. Three long gulps later, my hand tightened as I stared at the glass. The memory of Y

  • Alpha CEO Desired Me After Divorce   See Through The Crack

    Damien’s POVYharina’s footsteps faded behind me, the soft rustle of her robe brushing against the floor like finality as she retired for the night.I stood still, stag at nothing in particular, though I saw nothing.My hands tightened to my sides. My chest tightened, my lungs struggling to fill themselves. The healer’s words reverberated in my skull with a quiet violence.“She will die anyway…”“And you will go feral…”I raked a hand through my hair and turned away from the hearth, pacing the length of the room like a caged beast.The tiles swallowed the sound of my footsteps, but it didn’t lessen the storm inside. The walls suddenly felt closer than they should, the ceiling lower. The weight of the truth pressed down on me, cruel and cold.I was the Alpha. The leader of one the most powerful packs in the northern territories. I had stared down death, led wars, quelled rebellions with nothing but a word.And yet, one woman. One infuriating, sharp-mouthed, doe-eyed human woman with a

  • Alpha CEO Desired Me After Divorce   Weird Feels

    Damien's POV I didn’t move at first. The soft click of the office door echoed in the silence behind me, but my eyes remained fixed on Madelyn. Her dress pooled around her feet like a silken puddle, her body reeking with want. But I felt nothing. No tightening hunger in my groin. No animal pull in my core. No surge of lust. Just a growing stillness inside me, like ice hardening around a truth I didn’t want to admit. Her scent, once intoxicating, was no longer enough to stir me nor arouse me. Madelyn reached toward me, her bare form faltering slightly, the desperation in her eyes unhidden now. “Please…” she said again. “Damien, it’s been too long.”I clenched my jaw. “Get dressed.”Her lips parted slightly. Hurt flashed across her face, but it wasn’t real pain, it was her pride wounded. She was the mistress of the Alpha, the seductress of the high court. She was used to getting what she wanted. Especially from me. But I wasn’t the same Alpha anymore. “You just drank from me,” sh

  • Alpha CEO Desired Me After Divorce   Through the realms of sin.

    Damien’s POV “Drink from me,” she said again, her voice a low murmur but it struck me faster than I expected. The words barely settled between us before her head tilted with practiced grace, her long hair falling away from her neck like it had been rehearsed in a mirror a thousand times. She knew exactly what she was doing, offering herself, her pulse, her history. And my beast, my cursed, unruly, aching beast recognized the invitation before my mind could even protest. I saw her bared throat. Pale. Warm and open. The soft skin stretched with the tension of a heartbeat. Her breath came slow but deep, steady despite the danger she was stepping into. I should stop her. Called her out for her games, for her manipulation, for using the part of me that I had locked away like a snarling dog in the deepest part of me. But I didn’t. Instead, my hand moved, swift, unthinking and wrapped around her neck instantly. Not cruelly nor violently. Just… instinctively. My fingers curved to th
