Lara did not like the long journey one bit, but the thought of seeing Eva again made her keep on going. She needed to see her, tell her the truth and get everything off her chest. She had spent so long creeping behind her best friend's back with her boyfriend, then Eva had lost her mum, and Lara knew she had been such a shitty friend. The train finally pulled in at her station, and she grabbed her bags and hurried into the crowd of other passengers getting off. The doors slammed shut behind her, and the train squealed on down the platform leaving Lara standing alone. She stared at her surroundings and took a deep breath. Her phone rang for what was probably the millionth time. She knew it was him without even looking, but there was no way that she was going to answer it; he would only try and persuade her to go back to him, full of empty promises and meaningless sorries. Lara missed her best friend so much that she hated herself for letting a guy come
Tina sat alone in the dark cell room and wished that someone would at least come along and allow her to get out of this disgusting place. She had had enough of being punished now. She wanted to get her twins and away from Tim and Eva. The whole town would probably know about all of this by now, which would cause her humiliation and shame amongst her famous and wealthy friends. How dare Tim let this happen to her. She was supposed to be his wife; what about all the promises he had made her when they married? Everything had been excellent before Eva had come along and ruined everything for her. “Right. Here’s your food. The alpha will be along to see you shortly.” The guard scoffed as he looked at Tina in disgust. She wanted to smack him for daring to look at her in such a way. Who did he think that he was? He was not better than her. Nobody could look down their noses at Tina and why away with it. She knew that her father would kill them all
Eva stared at herself and could not believe she had managed to shift for the first time. Her wolf was beautiful, pure white, with a small black patch above her nose. Sebastian came to her and nuzzled her, which she gleefully accepted. They were exhausted from their long run in the forest and chasing rabbits for what had seemed like hours. Eva was so excited and happy that she felt who she was supposed to be now—no more hiding and denying her true fate. “Let's head back.” Sebastian had told her eventually, and she somehow managed to return to her human form. These newfound abilities were mesmerising for Eva. How could she have never known about any of this? Eva knew her mother had wanted to protect her from this life, but she had no idea why. She was thrilled at the idea of being able to shift into such a beautiful creature. When they entered the pack house, it was clear to Eva that her father and the twins were not there. Alpha Morgan informed them
Eva was so out of breath when she reached the empty road. She took a moment to regain her breath and wiped the sweat from her forehead. She needed to get back to her father and see the twins. She could not stay here another moment. Suddenly a big lorry sounded its horn, causing her to squeal as she jumped out of the way. She had been so lost in her thoughts that she did not even hear or see it at first. The lorry stopped, and the driver stepped out of his cab; he was about forty-five years old with a beard and moustache. His dark green eyes gleamed as he came closer to her. “Are you ok there, missy?” he called out to her. Eva was frightened but did not want to be rude, so she nodded and went. “I am sorry, but you're out here on your own. Any reason why?” the man continued, and Eva realised that he would not go away anytime soon. “I am just going home. I don't live far from here.” Eva explained but felt his big strong arms on her as she was lifted off the g
Tim was so pleased to see Eva return, but he was slightly confused about why she was rude towards her old friend from home. “Eva? Are you ok? Is there a problem?” He asked her, bringing her attention from Lara back to him. Eva took a deep breath, swallowed then smiled up at her father like it were nothing. “No, I’m just surprised. I mean, I can only guess that it’s Dan’s. Let me guess, and he’s here too?” Eva stated sarcastically and crossed her arms over her chest; she did not want to see either of them deal with their stupid, pointless dramas. She had a new life now. That did not include anyone who had hurt her in the past. Lara lowered her gaze and tried to avoid crying in front of everyone. “Can we just have a moment to talk alone, please, Eva?” Lara asked, reaching out for her hand, but Eva snatched it away instantly. She was scoffing at her ex-best friend in such disgust. Tim was amazed at how rude his daughter was but thought there was more to
“Who killed her?” Tim whispered out loud in disbelief. He hated the way that she had treated him and his children, but hearing that she had died still made him hurt for his twins. They had just lost their mother, just like Eva had. “Daddy, what did you say?” Millie went to her father and asked with wide eyes that made Tim want to burst into tears. Those poor twins. They were so innocent, so young and unaware of the world falling apart. “She’s dead,” Eddie said with a blank expression. This caused everyone to look his way in surprise. He had no tears in his eyes or emotion at all. It was as if he felt nothing. Did he understand what that meant? His mother was gone. They would never see her again. It was not until Sebastian stepped forward that they returned to their senses. “I will return to the pack and start arranging the funeral if you wish.” He said, holding a hand out to offer Tim his sincere sympathy, but Tim did not want it. He was gla
Sebastian paced the corridor outside the Alpha office and had finally had enough. He slammed his fists into the wall and growled furiously. Alpha Morgan opened the door and glared at his beta. “Someone in this pack has betrayed us. They have tricked us, and now that bitch is out there somewhere. She’s more powerful than I realised. We can’t have this. Unfortunately, I believe that if she has these twins together, it will enable her to do far worse damage.” “That dirty witch! Well, Eva will be here soon, and she will be safe. Leroy is en route to pick her up. I could not just bring her with me; her family needed her. These twins lost their mother..” Sebastian growled; he was so angry. “Except they have not lost their stupid mother, have they? She is a crazy lunatic witch that will do whatever she can to beat us. Whatever she is up to, we need to protect Tim and the twins and Eva. Tina is evil, pure evil. We cannot let this happen. Some of the warriors are already
Almost an hour had passed since Sebastian left the pack house, he knew that the alpha would be annoyed that he had gone like that, but he also knew that he would understand. Eva was his mate, and all he wanted was to protect her; he knew that Tina would be a threat all the while she was on the loose. He clenched his fists as anger once again ran through him. He would happily end her. She did not deserve to be alive for another minute after what she had done. Sebastian could only hope he would find them; he could not imagine how broken, poor Eva would be if anything happened to her little brother. There she was. Eddie was sitting across the table from her, looking very glum as he munched away on French Fries and a burger. Sebastian watched as Eddie picked up the Coke and took a long sip. Tina was saying something to him and had not noticed Sebastian staring at them outside. Eddie looked up and clapped eyes with Sebastian. He immediately turned awa
