LOGINDOMINIC's povAfter the call with Evelyn ended, I placed my phone in my pocket and looked down at the knife in my hand.I had just promised Evelyn that Amanda would never be a threat to her again. And here I was, holding on to the weapon that could make that possible.All I had to do was stick it right through Amanda's heart and that would be the end of that."Do it already." Amanda spat, blood dripping down her lip, one of her eyes swollen. "Get it done, and run back to your dumb little b*tch. Because as long as I live, if I can't have you, she will always have a target behind her back."I sneered at her.Even on the brink of death, she was still running her point. Downright crazy until then.Unless…I narrowed my gaze at her."You want to die so bad, don't you?" I asked her, and she glared at me without uttering a word. "Well, it isn't your lucky day. I'm not going to give you even as little as a chance to choose.""What are you talking about?" She choked out. But rather than give h
DOMINIC's POV"No problem, Alpha." The girl said and shot Amanda a hateful glare. "But I'll be sure to give her the pounding of a lifetime."She walked over to Amanda, who looked up at her with hooded eyes.She reached down to untie Amanda's ropes and then finally dragged her up by her collar."Get up!" The girl yelled, and pinned Amanda to the wall. "You tried to hurt our Luna. So now I get to give you the pounding of a lifetime."Amanda took one icy, calculated look at the girl and grabbed her by the neck."You get your hands off me!" She spat. Although her voice was visibly weak, the hate and venom in her eyes were strong."Gladly." The Beta's daughter replied, and tossed Amanda across the ground, and she landed with a loud, bone shattering thud."Ouch." Liam commented at my side. "That's definitely got to hurt."We both watched the show from the door, and watched as Amanda tried to pick herself up with great effort. She looked like the wolfsbane was fighting her from the inside, b
DOMINIC's PovShe stared up at me with such hatred and madness reflecting in her eyes. It was the first time she'd ever truly looked at me that way, but I didn't have a hard time picturing the countless number of times she might have looked at Evelyn that same way while she had my mate at her mercy."What happened to you, Dominic? You used to have so much potential. Then you meet that wretched weakling, and all of a sudden you don’t even think straight." She spat, and I wordlessly stuck the next needle into her neck.She let out a sharp quick cry of pain, and looked up at me like she wanted to tear me to bits."There will be a reward, for every time you say any awful thing against Evelyn. You've been warned.""I'll say just about anything I like about that wrench. I should have killed her when I had the chance."This time around, I picked up two needles and stuck them on either side of her neck.She cried out with rage and anger, and tried to push back to her feet, but I effortlessly
Dominic's povI waited till I was out of Evelyn's room before I called Liam while heading back to my car.He didn't answer the first time, so I called him back and was already in the car when he finally picked up."What is this you're saying about Amanda?" I asked, staring at the text he sent.[Amanda's escaped]There was a silence at the other end of the line that made panic shoot up my spine. Perhaps living Evelyn alone at the hospital right now wasn't the best idea.If Amanda had truly escaped, what if she tried to find Evelyn all the way here?"Liam?" I called out again, somewhat on edge now."I'm sorry about that, Alpha. I sent that text when I got to the room we kept her and I didn't see her. Turns how she did try to get away, but the men caught her before she could get very far. We've bound her up with wolfsbane coated ropes now."I instantly sighed in relief and started the car engines."I'm on my way there right now." I said into the phone and began navigating out of the hos
EVELYN's povI woke up in a white colored room that spelled like antiseptic, with the sound of the bp machine beeping close to me.For a moment, my brain was fuggy and I had a hard time remembering how I'd even gotten there, before scenes that led up to that moment filled my mind, little by little.Amanda.I remembered I was making my way back home, injected me with wolfsbane, kidnapped me…and took me to the middle of nowhere.The rest that happened after that was too hazy and disconnected, and I felt a splitting headache when I struggled to remember.I moaned and pressed a hand to my head, then heard a chair shift, before a figure appeared at my side."You're awake." It was Dominic's voice and I looked up at him to find him watching me with concern, although he had a smile on his face."Dominic." I breathed out weakly. "How did I get here? How did you find me?"He reached over and gently caressed my cheek with his thumb."I guess all your memories haven't come back, but I suppose tha
DOMINIC's POVI got to the pack infirmary in half the time it would usually get me to get there because of how fast I drove.As soon as we arrived, I carefully carried Evelyn out of the car and through the hospital doors. She was barely coherent, and eyes flickered open and close constantly, as though she was struggling to stay awake."Dominic." She sighed, and her faint voice caused me to panic."Stay with me, Evelyn. Please.""Alpha, place her here." One of the nurses called out, as she dragged one of the gurneys toward us."Thank you." I sighed in relief and carefully placed Evelyn on the gurney. "She's had wolfsbane intoxication, and I don't know how much.""Thank you for that information, we'll have to detoxify her." The nurse said and started rolling her away, I followed behind desperately until I got to one of the room doors of the emergency care unit and was asked to wait outside."I'm sorry, Alpha. But you can't go past this area.""But she's my mate!" I cried helplessly and
Third Person POV Teresa stood at the edge of the pool, arms folded as she watched Evelyn and Dominic. The way he leaned down to murmur something only she could hear, the way Evelyn’s smile softened just for him, made Teresa’s chest ache with a mix of envy and warmth.She’d always laughed at love,

Evelyn's POV My throat felt tight, and for a second I let out a quiet laugh. “Fine,” I said, shrugging. “It’s a knockoff.”The words slipped out more as a shield than a confession. But the moment I said it, the group’s faces shifted. Snickers, lifted brows, eyes that carried pity or disdain.I tur
Evelyn’s POV The next morning, sunlight crept through the curtains, nudging me awake. I stretched beneath the sheets, my body sore but not in the way I expected. Blinking, I slowly registered that my underwear was still on.I lay still, heat rushing to my face. So… nothing happened? After everythi
