เข้าสู่ระบบThis was a bad idea, Eva knew it. Wouldn’t all of this be counterproductive? But when Sebastian said home, something empty inside of her went yawning, and she wanted what he was offering. A part of her felt conflicted, as if this wasn’t supposed to be this easy. This is not how this works, or she never thought it could work like this. But then how she imagined her life before was already a vague outline by generic goals of life, and now she knows she can’t stay in one place, and she is all but stuck now in the contradictory life between what she knew and what she is, without having any idea of who she is.Werewolf mate for life.I will protect you because you are mine to protect.All of this makes her believe that she belongs by his side, but she fails to feel it. That just makes her curl up more against his side and cry. For her heart and her soul were in conflict; it feels like from the moment she found out about her origins, someone had pulled her out of her skin, and now no matter
“I can’t, Sebastian,” Eva said, tugging her hand away, and this time Sebastian let it go slowly. For a brief moment, a vulnerable look passed through his eyes, but then his gaze turned to steel. He nodded. She opened the door and left.—The wolf growled at the idea of another Alpha coming even into the vicinity of their mate, but Sebastian’s human side was well in control.—Sebastian felt anything but in control after an hour passed.She felt trapped. He told himself to make his instincts see reason. There was unease in the way she moved, the way she looked at him and told him that she wanted to meet her uncle. There was logic in that; that man was part of her life far more than Sebastian had been. It was only fair that the question arose, and no matter how ill-advised it seemed, she went to him. But he still couldn’t put his finger on why he felt so terribly off-put by the idea.He wanted something from Eva, who was human and therefore vulnerable, but also from a werewolf bloodlin
Eva stood at the door, having no idea, remembering how Sebastian looked when she left. She didn’t know if her reasons were enough to be asked for forgiveness or if she was right to go look for Henry or not. One thing she agreed on was that it was, in fact, foolish, but it was one of the foolish things she had to do for her own peace of mind.She remembered what state of mind she was in when she left and the doubts that plagued her. Talking to her uncle and him throwing comments about how different she and Sebastian were was not helping, except there was this pull and his words, ‘Werewolves mate for life.’ He had asked her very clearly, but the way her uncle was saying it, it seemed like even if he wanted to, things at large might not be simple.So she hesitated to knock, and Kai was behind her, waiting for her to take one step forward. She took a deep breath, but the door already opened with a snap, and she met Sebastian’s wide gray eyes filled with worry, looking at her.“I–,”But sh
“Those Eclipse pups he is hiding still have a price on their heads. I will be paid double for telling them of Sebastian’s whereabouts,” Henry said, with this menacing glint in his eyes. “Not to mention what could be paid to deliver the Last Shifter Alpha.”Eva felt sick down to her bones with fear, and her hand shook a little before she touched the photo, tracing the rim of the glasses Sebastian was wearing. It had been a little while since she had seen him like this. It used to be so simple. She couldn’t believe she thought falling for her professor was complicated. Now it was nigh impossible to even reach out to him.There was so much revealed about Sebastian, more than herself. The distance between them only felt stretched.“I promise you, where I am taking you, they will take care of you.”“Where would that be?” Eva asked.“That is confidential.”Eva stared at him, feeling contempt for this man like she never thought was possible.“Hurry up. We can do this the hard way or the easy
It was a familiar café, one Eva always came to in the morning or evening for her favourite vanilla crème muffins and tea. She looked up at the white sign of it, then looked at her uncle, who strode forward towards the door without looking back at her. After she found him near her dorm, she went to her room and, after a change of clothes, she came down, looked at him, and, trying her best to keep her voice steady, she told him in no uncertain terms:“You can’t do anything here. We will talk, or I will call the cops.”It was best to take him to a place that was crowded and where she was a regular. So if something happened, there were more chances for someone to call for help, and in a crowded place, Henry wouldn’t be able to use any of his supernatural abilities.She watched Henry go for the corner table silently. Eva couldn’t help but feel wary of him as he humoured her, and she put in an order—for pretence’s sake, but also for steeling herself for what she was about to do. Until now,
Eva curled up by the small window seat in Sebastian’s one-room apartment, her forehead pressed to her knees, her arms wrapped around her legs, making herself as small as possible—wounded and numb. There was nowhere to go in her mind, but a small part of her wanted to rage and go find her uncle.Sebastian was being strange as well, silently moving around the apartment when she talked about leaving again.“Your uncle—”“I want to meet him,” Eva cut him off.After much thought, this seemed to be the only viable way to find anything for sure, but Sebastian thought it was too dangerous. Eva knew staying here wouldn’t work either. Henry would go to the dorms, then to the university if he had made up his mind about taking her.“Hiding me won’t work.”“I also cannot send you into potential danger when I know another Alpha is lying in wait.”Eva didn’t know how to argue with that, but an uneasy feeling pressed into her chest. It was the familiar feeling she had when Henry refused to let her go
