Eve

My heart pounded in an uncoordinated rhythm that refused to settle, as if it were trying to escape the cage of my ribs. Each thump sent shockwaves through my body, all thanks to this murderer's intoxicating scent that stirred something raw within me.

No matter how much I tried to ignore it, his scent curled around my senses. I heard a roaring in my ears and I had to clamp my teeth shut to stop myself from crying out.

I couldn't explain how I hated someone, yet my wolf grew restless with need. It was a whirlwind of feelings bubbling inside me, threatening to explode.

Feeling a desire for him was dishonorable to my parents, who died unjustly. It was shameful.

Across the room, Shahar leaned against the counter, watching me. He was just the opposite of Axel, with a warm smile and confidence that seemed to reach right out to me. It felt real, open, and maybe even a little comforting.

I might have felt proud or curious that a good-looking male was paying attention to me in another lif

    EveMy desire swelled with every passing second, making it impossible to focus on anything else. Just being in the same space as Axel, breathing the same air, caused every nerve in my body to be on high alert, desperate for something I knew I could never have.But beneath the desire was a shame that clawed at my chest. Then Axel looked at me. Not a passing glance, but truly looked at me. His gaze bore into mine, and for the first time, it felt like he was actually seeing me.My heart became a trembling mess inside my chest, and my body betrayed me with a shiver.Was this the moment he would acknowledge what we both felt? Would he stop pretending, stop fighting, stop acting like he was immune to the bond that had already consumed me whole.He leaned in, his face so close that I could feel the warmth of his breath ghosting over my skin. My heart pounded wildly, flooding an unexplainable pleasure through my veins.He was going to kiss me.Holy hell.My breath hitched in my throat and I g

    Eve I hadn't been outside for more than a minute before irritation flared through me. The sun was relentless, glaring down as if punishing me. I was searching for Crystal, and when I finally found her hunched under a palm tree, furiously typing on her phone.Her head snapped up the moment she noticed me."What happened in there?" She narrowed her eyes. "Do I need to set that monster on fire?"Despite myself, I smiled. "It's not what he did. It's what he didn't do." I leaned against the rough bark, folding my arms as I exhaled sharply.Crystal waited."He makes it so hard," I muttered. "I want him, and at the same time, I hate him so much. It’s unnatural that he’s ignoring me. The way he looks at me—" I swallowed. "It makes me feel like I’m less than nothing."She sighed and reached out, brushing her fingers against my cheek. "He doesn’t deserve you, Eve. Mate bond or not, that pig has no right to make you feel like this.""It’s hard," I admitted, voice trembling. A humorless laugh bu

    Eve The kitchen was wrapped in the comforting aroma of roasted vegetables and sauces. Axel and Shahar’s voices filtered through the hallway. Shahar was louder, his words carrying a carefreeness that came naturally to him. Axel, on the other hand, sounded distant. But when he laughed, it didn’t sound like it belonged to him. It was too smooth, too easy, too human for a monster.Curiosity got the best of me. I moved cautiously, pressing my ear against the surface of the wall, listening.“Nicolas and his goons are just a bunch of noisemakers,” Shahar said. “He’s been so busy flapping his mouth, he didn’t even realize his cabinet member was fucking his wife.”A low chuckle drifted from Axel. A chill slithered down my back, causing my breath to halt in my throat. Was this the same laugh he let out when my family was murdered? When my parents begged for their lives?My heart pounded faster.“The numbers aren’t looking good for him,” Shahar continued, enjoying their rival’s misfortune.Axel

    AxelThe simplicity of a full stomach quieted the storm in my mind. Shahar sat across from me, leaning back in his chair with a contented sigh, his hand lazily rubbing his belly. “You look like a dog who just found a hidden feast,” I quipped, and he cracked one eye open, grinning“What can I say? Eve is a great cook. Admit it, you enjoyed the food.”I let out a low chuckle but didn't reply. The calm didn't last long. It never did. A familiar dark voice in my head reminded me not to get comfortable. Nothing good lasts for people like me, a cursed, unfortunate soul.“You're brooding again,” Shahar said, breaking through my thoughts. “Am I?” I asked dryly.My gaze wandered toward the open corridor beyond the living room, where his fling walked by. Her transformation was undeniable.A self-assured woman replaced the frail, sickly figure I’d glimpsed days ago. She drew attention as quickly as the sun drew flowers. The sway of her hips commanded attention.She was just a woman, like the c

    Eve When I heard Axel mention he would marry someone to spite Shahar, my entire world came crashing down instantly. There was someone else in his life. He was willing to leave me, his fated mate, for her.He was discarding the bond as if it were nothing more than a minor inconvenience.I clenched my jaw, refusing to let the pain consume me. I needed to prove to him that I was strong. That I didn’t need him. That he was nothing.Shahar returned after seeing Axel off. When I heard the door close, I rushed to the kitchen, gathering the dishes and wiping down the countertop. He padded, trying to sneak up on me, but I had already noticed. I didn’t turn back—I wanted to see where his moral compass lay.Surprisingly, he didn’t do anything foolish.“Did you enjoy your meal?” I asked, keeping my tone light.“Hell yeah,” he said, dropping into a seat. “You’re excellent.”I wiped my hands with a towel. “I heard you mention a council meeting. Has he agreed for me to cook?”Shahar chuckled. “You

    Eve The castle workers lived in a world different from what I had imagined. Comfort was a standard. They were well-dressed, well-fed, and, from what I could tell, highly content with their lives. But what shocked me the most was their pay.When my appointment letter was drafted and I caught sight of the salary and benefits listed under my name, my mouth nearly hit the floor. I was certain Shahar had pulled some strings, but he hadn’t.Not that I needed the money, but I couldn't ignore that the castle’s staff, mere servants in the grand scheme of things, earned better than some professionals in my pack. Even more shocking were the added benefits—medical coverage, housing allowances, and retirement bonuses. Retirement bonuses for a cook were insane.But it explained a lot.Like why Victoria hated me on sight.She was threatened and shot daggers at me from across the kitchen. If looks could kill, I’d be ashes by now.Axel made no sense.Everything about him was a contradiction. How coul

    EveThe day of the cabinet meeting had finally arrived. It was a long and exhausting day for me and the other staff, but Victoria, as usual, strutted around like she was in charge, snapping out instructions and acting as if she had everything under control, when in reality, she was doing the bare minimum.I didn’t mind. If anything, I saw it as an opportunity to prove her wrong. She had gone on and on about how I was just some newcomer who didn’t belong in her kitchen. I poured every ounce of effort into my work, paying close attention to detail, making sure every dish was cooked to perfection.By midday, I was already exhausted. My apron was stained with the colors of spices, and my arms bore the marks of splattered oil from roasting the rib of the deer. But I refused to slow down.Victoria, ever the peacock, marched over to me. “You have to make sure the rib is roasted to a perfect golden brown crust on the outside and tender within,” she said in her usual snappish tone. “That’s how

    Fourteen AxelThe sight of Nina sprawled naked on my bed gave me a nasty headache.She wanted more than sex. She always did.Nina was a thorn in my flesh, acting as if I had made her promises when all I had done was make a passing remark to her father, Prince Jaxon of the Northern Province, that he had raised a fine daughter. That simple statement had somehow morphed in her mind into a marriage proposal.She lounged on my bed, and her manicured fingers lazily traced patterns on my chest as if she had any right to claim me. The entitlement in her posture made my jaw tighten.I poked my tongue lightly into my cheek and inhaled a long breath, trying to push down the irritation bubbling beneath my skin. My patience for Nina had long run dry, but she refused to see it. She dismissed every rejection, ignored every dismissal, and kept showing up as if I owed her something.“Axel, my love,” she purred, lifting her head with an exaggerated pout. “I don’t like the way Shahar talks to me.”I res

    VanessaIn the middle of the night, when every being who had peace in them was asleep, I tossed and turned in bed. The sheets beneath me felt rough against my skin. Groaning in annoyance, I slid to my knees on the floor, staring at the corner of the room, blank-eyed.“Just say something,” I whispered.I needed to pray, but I didn’t even know who I was talking to. I shut my eyes tightly and tried again. My lips moved without sound; my throat was too dry. I swallowed and forced the words out.“Dear Goddess...”Ugh.It wasn’t working. She was not dear to me. She felt far, like a stranger. My hands twisted together. I had forgotten how to pray, and somehow that sent a wave of shame through me. My mother used to say the Goddess listened even when we didn’t speak, but I didn’t believe that anymore.I used to pray beside her before bed, before everything fell apart. I used to believe the Goddess cared. A broken laugh escaped my lips. My belief died when they took everything that made me happ

    AlecIt felt like my feet were glued to the floor as I watched Vanessa vanish down the stairs. My body still reacted like she was right in front of me. I hated that. I hated how she walked off like she had a choice. Like she could somehow outrun this cursed bond. Like it clung to me more than it did her.As if she was immune.She wasn’t. I knew that. Her blood carried the same Alpha rage mine did. This was her problem too. But she carried it like she had already won something.I pushed my wolf down, but he kept snapping at the inside of my ribs, restless. He didn’t shut up. I started pacing, dragging my fingers through my hair. Her scent still clung to the air. Sweet and sharp. It pissed me off.I moved to the nightstand and picked up the perfume bottle. My mother’s. Jasmine and vanilla. I hated how soft it smelled, but I sprayed it anyway.I needed a different memory.The scent hit me, and the flashback came fast—screams cutting through the courtyard. I’d hidden behind a pillar, too

    Vanessa In the middle of the night, I sat cross-legged with papers spread across the floor of my room. My fingers glided over the inked words from the parchment Olga had given me earlier.The Alpha bloodline is chosen by the moon. Enforced by myths. Preserved through fear.I scoffed under my breath. Of course they'd say that. That was their poetry for tyranny.I picked up another paper. A diagram. The Blackmoor pack structure. Alphas. Betas. Gammas. Deltas. Omegas. And then, at the very bottom—us.The rejects.Even their omegas lived better. We were the hands that cleaned their fields, the mouths that fed their hunger. Disposable.My eyes landed on another title: The Rebellion of Valen Hunter: A Warning to Future Traitors.My chest clenched. I leaned forward and read line by line, every word slow.Valen Hunter was executed for crimes against the bloodline. May the goddess silence his lineage.I squeezed my eyes shut.They were jokers. What crime did he commit? They didn’t even say. J

    Amma didn’t look back. Her steps kicked up the dust behind her, and her fists clenched at her sides like she was dragging her anger with her. I stood still. My chest felt hollow. The rage rolling off her had knocked the wind out of me, and now all I could do was stare.I didn’t move at first. My legs didn’t listen. It took everything to shift one foot forward, like walking through thick mud. Amma was supposed to understand. She was supposed to comfort me, not make me feel like I’d burned the entire village.I turned away and started walking slowly. The trees swallowed me, and each step felt heavier than the last. I didn’t rush. I didn’t want to get home.Why did she react like I reached out to the goddess and begged for the bond? I didn’t. I never wanted it. I never wanted him.But Amma didn’t wait to hear that. She didn’t ask questions. She looked at me like I betrayed her. Like I betrayed all of them.The house buzzed when I arrived. The higher-ranked females were preparing for a p

    Vanessa The air in the Omega base felt stale. Too many bodies and too little hope.The omega's were too weak to fight during the coup so they lived. But if living was like this, perhaps death was better. They were suffering in abject poverty.I stepped over a broken plank and passed a sleeping child curled beside an empty basket. Some of them looked up. Most didn’t bother. Their eyes were flat. Tired. Hungry.The housing was worse than I imagined—if you could even call it housing. Wooden shacks leaned into each other like they were too weak to stand. Some of the younger wolves squatted beside black water, brushing their teeth with twigs.A boy with matted hair sniffed the air when I passed. His stomach was swollen from hunger. I shifted my basket and kept moving. I had brought what I could—some rice, herbs, and clean rags—but it felt like pouring water into a cracked jar.Olga had told me to come. Told me to see what Alec’s “peace” looked like. Told me to remember what he took.And I

    Alec I caught her scent before I saw her.Sweet, primal and alive.It hit me as I rounded the corner of the second-floor stairs.My heart slammed hard enough that I felt it in my throat. The bond snapped awake between us, yanking tight across my ribs.And there she was.Vanessa stood a few steps above me, gripping the railing, breathing like she had just run a mile. Her skin glowed under the lights, damp from a heat that hadn't touched anyone else. Her wolf was awake, I could feel it reaching for mine.Every muscle in my body locked.I wanted to take the last few steps and grab her.Bury my face against her neck.Mark her until she couldn’t belong to anyone but me.She took another shaky step down. Her knees wobbled like a newborn pup’s.I stayed rooted where I was.Her eyes found mine, like she'd been caught in the middle of a nightmare.Something primal shoved against my control.My wolf surged, howling for her.Take her. Now.Vanessa’s lips parted. She staggered. Her scent punched

    Vanessa’s POVI couldn't let Nina's words slide without knowing what she was up to. I pushed through the servants, ignoring the stupid whispers.Nina was halfway up the stairs leading to the third floor, acting like she had no idea she’d just thrown a torch into dry wood. I ran up the stairs and caught up with her. She turned, calm as still water with a smile on her lips. “What are you up to?” I cried out, exasperated.Nina looked around and whispered, “Walls have ears. You don't want Isabella and Maya to hear this.”She smoothed her skirt and turned back to the stairs. Without glancing back, she said, “Follow me.”Rage crawled up my neck. I stood there with clenched fists, before forcing my legs to move.We didn’t speak as we climbed. When I stepped inside her quarters, my eyes widened.It was nothing short of beautiful and eccentric. The walls were painted deep blue, like the sky right before it surrendered to the stars. A colorful rug sprawled across the floor, alive with shapes

    Vanessa The stench of blood hit me before I even reached the laundry hall. The metallic smell clung to my nose and throat, making every breath taste like iron.We were waiting, heads down, buckets lined along the wall. When the hunters dumped the bloodied clothes in front of us, the pile steamed in the cold air."Move," barked one of the guards.We dropped to our knees and started sorting. Thick leather cloaks soaked through, ripped and dark with blood. Some had claw marks. Others, deep slashes. My hands found a warm shirt. My stomach clenched. I bit the inside of my cheek and shoved it into the basin.The head servant, Marga, stormed past. "You're slower than a pack of drunk pups. Hurry up!"My fingers worked fast, scrubbing, rinsing and wringing. The water turned red instantly. A film of blood coated the surface. Every time I dipped the cloth back in, it felt like bathing in ghosts.The memory slipped in before I could fight it.I was thirteen years old, and my dad had just given

    AlecThe morning after Olga's prophecy was awful.I woke up with a pounding headache, like my skull was about to split open. But as memories of last night came flooding back, the headache was nothing compared to the deep ache in my chest.My mate.The one person destined to be my perfect match was Valen Hunter's daughter. Entirely unsuitable for me.The thought of being bonded to an enemy felt like punishment. I rubbed my forehead, trying to shake off the fog, but my mind kept circling back to the impossibility of it all.How could the goddess be so cruel?I’d always thought I was blessed and destined for power. Life had spoiled me with luxury, and now I was crowned alpha of one of the most powerful packs on the south coast. People envied me. But now, luck had turned its back on me.It felt like the moon goddess herself had said, "You’ve had enough blessings. Time for a change."And she had changed everything.A bond with Vanessa was unthinkable. Packmates would revolt and use it agai
