… Eva's pov…I can't believe Miles right now. He's always been the one to trust, the one who understands me, but today feels different. I take a step back, one foot after the other, as I try to distance myself from the conversation. His frown deepens, and I can see the bewilderment in his eyes."What makes you think so?" he asks, his eyebrows slanting in concern. But I can't handle it right now. I don't want to listen to any of it. Not at all."I don't want to hear none of it," I say firmly, raising my voice to make my point clear. I can feel my heart pounding in my chest, my emotions getting the better of me. I wave my hands in frustration, trying to keep myself from breaking down."Eva," Miles starts to say, but I can't let him continue. I cut him off sharply, repeating myself, "At all! I don't want to hear none of it."My cheeks feel hot, and I know they must be flushed red. I hate feeling this way—angry, hurt, and confused all at once. Why can't things just be simple? Why does eve
…Eva's pov… I dropped onto the couch, my heart was pounding, my lips shivering with anticipation and anxiety. Thoughts raced through my mind as I looked at the closed door, wondering what secrets it held. My eyes then caught a glimpse of the phone lying on the couch beside me, a tempting source of answers.I hesitated for a moment, my hand hovering over the phone, unsure if I wanted to know what lay hidden within its digital confines. But curiosity got the better of me, and I finally stretched my hand out to pick it up. With a deep breath, I unlocked the device and opened his social media profile, hoping to find some clues.As I scrolled through, I was relieved to see that no pictures had been released. However, I squinted my eyes, trying to discern any cryptic messages or hidden hints. Frowning, I moved on to his emails, searching for anything that might shed light on the mysterious deal.My heart raced as I delved deeper into his digital life, but there was still no sign of any com
… Eva's pov… I stared at Miles's furious eyes, my heart raced, and my mind scrambled to find the right words to say. He was convinced I had released those pictures, but the truth was, I had nothing to do with it. I knew who did it, but revealing the culprit meant exposing a dark secret that could shatter the fragile trust between Miles and me. For now, I had to protect myself from Miles, the real mastermind behind the deceit.My face contorted into a scowl as Miles accused me of lying. “You can't lie to me, Eva,” he said with a tone that mixed hurt and frustration. His grip on my hands tightened, but I had to remain strong. I couldn't let Miles fall victim to Miles' cunning games.“It was nothing,” I replied, trying to feign innocence as I shrugged my shoulders.Mile's doubt and anger were evident, but I was unable to bring myself to confess the truth. The fear of Miles' wrath kept my lips sealed. As I hurriedly walked away, my heart pounded in my chest, and my mind raced with fear an
Mrs. Anderson sat across from me at the long conference table. This woman spelled nothing but trouble. She had been hinting at my doom throughout this week and with this gathering, she would definitely see to it. I didn't know what she and the others had for me, but the family had gathered to discuss the burial of my grandfather, Larry. A cold sweat formed at the back of my neck as I scanned the crowd.“Eva are you guilty of this?” he asked, bringing my attention back to him. I met his piercing and discerning eyes.“No, I am not,” I replied loudly and confidently. “And how do you plead,” he asked as his face tightened into a frown. I held my breath and placed a hand on my chest as I felt my chest heaving up and down. It was racing in my chest!“Not guilty,” I said, and a murmur went through in hushed voices, but I ignored it. How could they have expected me to admit guilt to such heinous accusations?“She is a witch!” Mrs. Anderson leaped up and stamped her feet on the ground, the
***** A Few days ago****** Seattle***I felt Miles' soft lips pressing against mine; my knees seemed to grow weak as he pushed me towards the wall, his eager hands roaming over my body. I held his head and drew him closer, savoring the sensation of our lips locked together in a tender, yet passionate kiss. I pulled away from him to catch my breath, sweat glistened his face. He began to kiss his way down my neck and his hands rose up my dress making me vibrate. This was not going well, at this rate we would end up having sex. Suddenly, he tried to remove my clothes, I pulled away and his dark eyes frowned at me. "Why did you stop?" Miles asked, his hand slipping beneath my skirt.I held his hands, preventing him from pulling it down. "You know, you are turning eighteen tomorrow, and then we can finally be together as mates," I replied with a smile."Yeah, I know." He chuckled. "So we have more time to do this, right,” he said, maybe trying to guess what I was driving at.I nodded, fe
"Alrighty!" I quickly nodded and made my way to the bathroom, feeling a little dizzy. Once I reached the sink, I turned on the tap and vomited the contents of the drink that I had been holding for too long.Damn it! I used my handkerchief to wipe my dress before washing my face and heading back out. My eyes scanned the crowded dance floor as I dodge a group of drunk boys who tried to touch me, I slapped their hands away and they burst out laughing.That's when I spotted Miles from the corner of my eyes. He moved towards a corner of the house, seemingly with someone. I hurried over, calling his name above the loud music."Miles! Miles!" I yelled, but he didn't turn around.Confused, I looked around to see where he had gone, but couldn't find him. "Where has he gone off to?" I murmured to myself. "Oh there you are!" I touch his shoulder and turned him around. oh my it wasn't him but a young man with the reek of alcohol all over him. "Pretty do you want to dance?" He giggled. "No no
I ran down the stairs, tears streaming down my face, I heard footsteps behind me. It was Alex. "What happened?" He asked but I ran past him to a waiter holding a tray of drinks. "Give me that!" i said as i gulped down to glass of wine. "Stop! Stop!" he said. As for what followed after i don't remember but all i knew was that i drank till I was unconscious! ****** Present ******I looked up at him with teary eyes that begged to be believed. “There is a way to resolve all this,” he said calmly.The family has decided to give you out to someone you will get to know. "You can't stay in the family any longer, moreso he has agreed to take you in."Take me in? That was the most stupid thing I have heard. I wasn't a cheap commodity they could throw around, I have to leave. I muttered to myself as I watched the big bonfire at the center of the festival's arena from a lonely and deserted spot, a small tree with leaves enough to provide a little shade. The pack was festive, tables were set
As I dressed in the white gown that the maid gave me, I couldn't help feeling anxious. I was told that the Alpha had sent someone to pick me up and take me to his mansion.The car ride was silent and nerve-wracking, but when we arrived at the mansion, I was met with a group of young men. I scanned their faces, trying to figure out which one was the Alpha. None of them looked particularly important - they all just seemed like regular pack members.We got to the palace faster than I had imagined we would. It was either that or I had been caught up in my thoughts to notice the time that had elapsed.I was given small quarters where I would be living while under the services of the Alpha’s household. It was more comfortable than the room I slept in back home. I was starting to enjoy this new life.That night, a maid came in to address me. She told me the Alpha had asked for me. I was confused as to the reason the Alpha would want to summon a common slave he had just recently purchased. Th
