Chapter 2
Eva’s POV
Alpha Liam immediately gestured to the soldier who did, scurrying away like a weak ass pregnant woman.
He turned to stare heatedly at me with a gaze as dark as a crow flying through a pitch black night. For a moment I was lost in his eyes but then the earlier infatuation washed off when I remembered how fully involved he was in my suffering.
“He’s still the son of your father’s murderer.” Isla said in my head and I slowly nodded. I hadn’t forgotten,
He took a few predatory steps towards me and as soon as he was right in front of me, he landed a single punch to my face which immediately threw my head backwards.
My body twitched violently and I knew I was about to attack him but I reined in my anger because I knew that snapping right now would be the end of me. He would kill me off, the same way that his father had killed my parents.
“Don’t you ever call me your mate..!” He growled. His voice sounded low and menacing, the kind that was supposed to scare people off but unfortunately for him, I wasn’t people. I was me.
I raised my head up to meet his gaze and smirked evilly. I saw the look of shock on his face but that seemed to fuel me even more. He didn’t know what was coming to him at all.
“You dare disrespect me?” He snarled but I said nothing. I couldn’t quite understand what he meant about being disrespected when I had literally said nothing to him.
An awkward silence followed, and when he spoke up after a few minutes, he said exactly what I’ve been waiting for him to say;
“I would not have anything to do with a dipshit like you regardless of whatever the so-called moon goddess has destined, and so, I Liam Blackwood, Alpha of Black moon pack, hereby rejects you, Eva Silverstone as my mate!”
As soon as he uttered those words, I immediately felt a sharp pain run up the length of my chest and back but just as soon as it came, it left, replaced by a feeling of great relief.
I exhaled unknowingly, relieved that he had freed me of the burden of being the mate to someone like him but was immediately snapped back to him when I saw the look of pure shock on his face.
I didn’t wait for him to say anything else though, I immediately turned on my heels and left, happy that I wouldn’t have to be the mate to someone like him, but at the same time sad that I had just been rejected.
I was conflicted, but that didn’t stop the smug smile from appearing on my face as I walked away.
***
My head and body ached terribly, and even my limbs felt like they were on fire. I needed to rest, desperately needed to but I knew that resting would only create more problems for me.
Ever since the day I got rejected by Alpha Liam, it was as if he had told his family about it because suddenly his sister Raquel, and his mother made it their life’s duties to torture me in every way possible.
They literally began starving me and even forced me to take on jobs that naturally shouldn’t be given to a lady.
But did I complain? Of course, I didn’t!
Today was another one of their several bad days where they had unreasonable mood swings; and I was being punished for it.
The type of punishment they had come up with was having to make me sort out tons and tons of several fabrics they said was needed for Alpha Liam’s coronation.
The workload was hectic and I was pre warned not to allow anyone to help me with it, as if anyone would want to in the first place.
No one would’ve wanted to help though because they had always been banned from relating with me in any possible way.
I was practically an outcast here.
I was still bent sorting through the many fabrics when I felt someone or something hit me on the head from behind. The pain was so much that it sent me sprawling to the floor.
What the he—
I swiftly turned back to lash out at whoever it must’ve been only to come face to face with the queen and her devilish daughter, Raquel.
“What’s that for? I groaned in frustration but instead, she smirked at me, whilst showing off her pretty dimples.
Raquel was beautiful, one of the most beautiful people I had ever seen, after me of course, but just as the moon goddess had blessed her with beauty, she also gave her an overdose of wickedness.
As if sensing the anger on my face and to spite me, she pulled me by my hair and began tugging at it just as her mother began slapping and kicking at my sides.
The pain was too much; almost unbearable but I had gone through worse.
Suddenly I was pushed to the floor and wailed as Raquel began to scratch and claw at her face. All this while, her mother stood back, smirking while her daughter unleashed terror on me.
I couldn’t fight back though, I knew what would become of me if I did and so I simply laid back while Raquel sent hard blows to my face and body.
When she was done, she picked up a sharp blade from her mother’s purse and used it to rip the front line of my dress until my chest and some parts of my boobs were out on display.
Feeling satisfied with what they had done, they spat at me and left.
I laid there, crying softly, willing all of these to be a bad dream. I couldn’t leave where I was because the entire pack was crowded and I knew that walking out of here would mean exposing my cheetah region to the prying eyes of leering men.
Just as I thought that all hope was lost, I immediately felt myself being lifted into someone’s arms. I intensively sighed at the comfort but then my eyes sprung open when I inhaled the obviously expensive perfume emanating from his body.
He was dressed like a Royal but what captivated me the most was his dark piercing eyes.
CHAPTER 152 Eva's POV. Epilogue. Years had passed and I had lost track of time, though not out of pain and sorrow but happiness and joy. I recalled when I was tortured and cried myself to sleep every night because I wasn't loved and didn't have my family with me. I thought back to when I found out that Liam was my mate and he rejected me. Medical check-up?"I said, "What medical check-up?!" The spoon in my hand fell to the floor clattering in the dining room as I looked at the vampire king feeling the weight of his dog's eyes on my back. That guy was really a one-of-a-kind pain, I had been staying in the vampire territory for while nw except I was no longer in a stinky cell that wasn't even fit for dogs. I had every luxury befitting a queen handed at my doorstep the moment I just hinted at it. But of course, I wasn't going to be swayed by such vanity, I knew that one day the vampire King would go bored of me evading his advances. So fortunately and unfortunately for me,
CHAPTER 151.Author's POV "Where are the rest of them?" Alpha Trent came closer and asked in excitement. "We had arrived a while ago and they stayed back in an inn. I came alone to discuss the plans with you…your parents sent their greetings. Your mom insisted on coming but Alpha Justin dissuaded her and I presume that it was for the best" He replied with a beam on his face."Thank you for coming" Alpha Trent smiled and went to hug him. They hugged tightly and Gael was allowed inside. "Luna" Gael greeted with a bow. "Beta" "Gael, I'm glad that you are here. How have you been" Eva asked with a kind smile plastered on her lips. "I'm fine, Luna" Beta Kyle got up and shook hands with him, and the three of them left for the dining room. Mr Carlos closed the door and walked towards the others. He folded his arms and a feigned expression of displeasure appeared on his face. "It seems like my house is getting packed with more people and it's high time that you all start paying for the
CHAPTER 150.Author's POV "I will not just tell you but take you there" Beta Kyle smiled warmly at her and retracted his hand from her tummy, he took his hands to her face and gently wiped her tears away."Kyle, I have nothing against your Alpha or his mate. I don't want her immortality or want to harm her for any reason…My father just gives orders and threats that can't be ignored" Rosalie mumbled in tears, she was certainly exhausted from her father. She had lived most of her life to please him, she even desired any man in her life to be like her father. She saw him as a role model and mentor but now she realized that he was the worst person ever. "I understand," Beta Kyle nodded with a smile on his lips."I'm not taking you there to double cross my friends but for you to acquire protection from your father. You are having my child and I have to be with you every step of the way" He beamed and pecked her forehead affectionately. Rosalie was astonished by his idea, she never thou
CHAPTER 149.Author's POV. "Father, this is your grandchild and you shouldn't be threatening me with the life of my baby," Rosalie said, this was the first time that she was showing emotions in front of her father. Instead of reasoning with her, Aldon was irritated by her. She was no longer the woman whom he raised to be heartless, this woman sitting in front of him wasn't her. He withdrew his hand from her stomach and slapped her hard on the face. She shrieked and fell back on the bed. He pulled her up by her arm and menaced; "I don't care about this thing in your stomach, just use it and get me her location including access to the place" Rosalie's breath shuddered. "If you can't do those two things then you can say goodbye to that worthless thing in your womb," Aldon said, heartlessly.Rosalie wasn't surprised by the coldness in their eyes as he spoke to her but she thought that learning about the baby would make him considerate. She had done so much to impress him. She had l
CHAPTER 148.Author's POV. "No way, I will not allow my pregnant wife to be bait for those maniacs, both of them are dubious and insane, they won't spare your life for anything in this world and both of us are aware of that!" Alpha Trent objected with a stern look on his face. " I understand what you mean but do you realize that they aren't hurting you all because you harmed them but because they need me? They want me and seeing me would certainly make them let their guard down" Eva insisted. She was the cause of their misfortune and it was time for her to end it. She wasn't going to permit anyone to toil with her family again. She was willing to go to the extreme to ensure that. Alpha shook his head in total disapproval; "I don't care about what is running through your mind but I won't allow you to be a bait, period!" "Do you think that I was asking for your permission? This is your sister's life we are talking about and I believe it's time for me to stop those two once and for
CHAPTER 147. Author's POV. "Those bastards have done it again!" Alpha Trent shrieked and threw the squeezed paper on the floor. It was getting irritating how they were always two steps ahead of them. He blamed himself for Serena getting into that sort of mess. He should have made sure that she didn't leave the house but he was too angry and guilty to ascertain that. Alpha Trent had realized that all this while, he had been living carelessly and doing almost nothing to protect his family. He couldn't see himself as that person who used to be calculating. It was like the constant problems had rendered him weak. He was an Alpha and he should have the smartest mind to overcome the situation. He had been allowing emotions to get the better part of him and that had to end. He's the Alpha of the Black Moon pack and he had to protect his mate and family at all cost He picked up the crumpled paper from the floor, unfolded it, and checked the back to see an address. Alpha Trent clicked
