LOGINWhile on my way, I tried to call Kevin, but his phone was switched off."What's going on?" I mumbled in worry.For some reason, I assumed Kevin and Trevor had a fight again. Last time when Bella asked me to go like that, Kevin and Trevor were fighting in the common room of the old building.The car came to a stop near a small house. I got out of the car and noticed Trevor's car parked there.My doubt was confirmed. I rushed toward the main door and saw it was ajar.I dashed inside the house and did not waste my time to look around."Kevin," I called out.Someone spoke from behind."Oh, look who is here!"I turned around and saw Trevor leaning against a wall, holding a glass of wine. Beside him was his best friend and Bella's boyfriend, Nathan.My focus was on Trevor. I was sure he did something to Kevin; otherwise, he would have been there."Where is he?" I said, walking toward Trevor.He did not answer as if he did not bother. He sipped his drink with a smug look on his face.I was s
I was stunned by how Trevor was looking at me. He was very close. His breath felt like a soft, warm mist on my face. His scent was intoxicating me.I stared at him, trying to read his eyes. But as usual, they were mysterious."Why don't you go after your girlfriend? She was crying," I replied.He smirked at me. "Do you really think I am very interested in that boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with her?"I was taken aback. "What do you mean?"His smirk slowly faded. His eyes, which had glimmered slowly, turned dark.He let go of my wrist and placed his hand beside my head. "What do you think? The mess you have created, I can't fix? Did you think in this chaos I would forget you did and let you go?"I blinked, gulping. "What did I do?""You don't know what you did?"He clenched his jaw while staring at me. I felt frightened by his cold gaze.I looked away from him. "Look, Trevor. I—"He interrupted me, "Everything is happening right now because of you."I was surprised. I gazed at him.
Alpha Gray did not seem pleased when he saw Aria. Instead, his face turned grim. He had an angry look on his face."What do you mean it's been a while? Have you two met before?"It was Kevin who spoke up. He frowned at Aria with his gaze full of questions, then he turned his head to his father, yearning to learn the answer."Dad, Kevin doesn't know that you have already met her," Trevor spoke with a chuckle.I glanced at Trevor. He looked in a very good mood. His face was calm, but his eyes were serene. It was as if he could speak whatever he wanted, but if someone dared to approach him, he would not let go."What is he talking about, Dad?" Kevin asked with a curious tone.Alpha Gray glared at Trevor as though he did not like his move. Then he shifted his gaze at Kevin and replied,"You all are talking too much at the dining table. Start eating before the food gets cold."Kevin cast a glance at Aria. She lowered her head without any eye contact with anyone.Everyone started eating. My
Kevin gave me a long look and then moved his gaze away. He took off his gloves and went to grab the bottle of water.He chugged the water, splashing a few drops down his body. I glanced at his chest, then looked for a towel.I found one towel on the couch and grabbed it. I moved toward him and held his hand."Sit here," I said to him, pushing him to the bed.He sat on the bed quietly. I dabbed his sweaty face and then lowered the towel to his bare chest.He stared at me while I was wiping his sweat silently.Soon, I felt a pair of arms wrapping around my waist. He hugged my waist, pressing his head against it."Elara"I rubbed his hair with the towel. "Hmm?""Trevor hates me."I paused, breaking his grip around my waist. He raised his head to look at me.I cupped his cheeks and shook my head. "No one hates you, Kevin. Don't overthink.""Then why didn't he back down? He always claims he loves me. But he always goes after what I want. Whether it's you or..." He paused as if he realized
Elara's POVAfter Trevor left the pack house, Kevin went back to his bedroom. I was left with Alpha Gray and my mother in the living room.Alpha Gray looked very stressed. He gazed at me and said,"Kevin listens to you. Tell him not to worry. If he can make it, he won't be disappointed. But if he can't impress me, then..." He paused as he did not need to say anything more."Dad, don't worry. I will talk to him," I assured him.Alpha Gray stood up and made his way to his room.I glanced at my mother, who was still there, standing in her place. She was unmoved, as if she were thinking about something.I had something in my mind to ask her. I walked over to her and held her hand. I pulled her to a corner and asked,"Mom, why did you mention their mother at that time? You shouldn't have done it."My mother smiled at me. "Elara, my darling. Why are you so innocent? I didn't lie. It was really her wish to give everything to Kevin. Don't you know she loves him the most?"I frowned at her. "W
Trevor froze as his father's words echoed in his ears like a physical blow. He looked at his father, the man he had been following all these years.He listened to his every word and had worked 18 hours a day in the company beside his study life while Kevin was out enjoying his life to the fullest like a spoiled brat.Trevor felt a bitter wave of betrayal rise in his throat. It was like a knife in the ribs, twisted by the very hand that had raised him.He could not help but think,'All those years I spent cleaning up messes, the deals I closed while I was sick, the life I gave up so you could keep your legacy.... And you are turning it into a game?'Kevin's voice came to be heard. "Thank you, Dad. You are the best. I promise not to disappoint you. I will prove to you that I am capable of what Trevor can do... in just one month."Trevor rose from the couch. Everyone looked at him. Alpha Gray noticed how his eyes darkened."Trevor—"He raised his hand to stop his own father. He stood per
