Eva's POV.

Surprisingly, Nicklaus wasn't lying, father really agreed for the marriage rites to be carried out today.

He'd sent for the elders, the Betas and the council members, none of the rest of the pack members were invited.

Why invite them when they were the reason he was marrying me off in such a hurry.

I knew his compliance wasn't because I lied about Nicklaus being my mate, he would have still refused because of Nicklaus's reputation, he agreed to this because he knew Nicklaus was capable of protecting me, and more conveniently far away from the pack where their mockeries and haunting murmurs will be non existent.

In a few hours, the marriage rites were complete and we were ready to leave.

Mom kept a long face the entire time, including Ethan and Annabelle. They insisted that it was too sudden but my mind was already made up.

I can't stand staying back in this pack for longer than an hour.

I couldn't hold back my tears as I hugged them goodbye, I'm truly going to miss

  • Rejected and Banished; The kids are his.   Chapter eighty two.

    Eva's POV.Three days.Seventy two hours.I’d counted every single one of them, second by agonizing second.And he hadn’t come.Each morning I woke up hoping to see a shadow outside my window, or maybe hear someone mention a stranger in the pack. Each night, I sat by the window, telling myself I wasn’t waiting, even though my eyes stayed open through the night.But nothing.Nicklaus hadn’t come back. And the more time passed, the heavier the pit in my stomach grew.Maybe he used me.Maybe all he wanted was to be freed from the cave, and I had been stupid enough to give him exactly what he needed. I should have known better.Today, I barely noticed anything around me as I sat at the dining table with my family, my spoon circling the eggs on my plate for the umpteenth time.I wasn’t hungry.Not for food, anyway.“Okay, what’s going on with you?” Ethan asked suddenly, his eyes narrowing towards me.I looked up, startled. “Huh?”“You’ve been stirring your food for the past ten minutes,”

  • Rejected and Banished; The kids are his.   Chapter eighty one.

    Eva's POV.I staggered into the house, gasping for breath. My legs ached, my throat burned, and my heart still pounded violently against my ribs like it was trying to escape. The wind had died down before I got to the pack, but my mind was still a whirlwind of questions.Who the hell was that man?No. That thing.Nicklaus, a man in a coffin, a dagger in his chest, a voice in my head, a proposal of marriage. And then... gone. Like mist in the air.I didn’t have the luxury to process any of it as I focused solely on making it to my room without running into anyone. I needed to think... Or cry... Or both. The front door creaked open a little less noisily as I tiptoed inside, thankfully, the living room was empty, no pack warriors lounging about, no omega staff cleaning or dusting. Just silence. Exactly what I needed.I climbed the first stair quietly, one hand clutching the railing, the other still trembling from the dagger I’d pulled from a dead man's chest.“Eva.”The voice made my h

  • Rejected and Banished; The kids are his.   Chapter eighty.

    Eva’s POVI stood there, still panting, staring down at the coffin where Nicklaus's body lay... lifeless, yet somehow more alive than the version that had been beside me this whole time.The silence in the cave now was defeaning, pressing heavy on my chest. My mind was racing in a thousand directions, trying to make sense of what had just happened. I had just discovered that the only person who’d been by my side the past few days wasn’t real, not entirely, at least. That he had been a ghost, trapped in flesh that hadn’t moved in five years.And yet… he’d felt so real.“I can offer you a deal.” His voice suddenly sliced through my spinning thoughts.I blinked and turned toward him... the him still standing beside me, although in my mind like he'd said. He looked the same, calm and strangely distant, his hands clasped behind his back like he was offering me a business proposal and not standing in front of his own corpse.“A… deal?” I repeated cautiously. “What kind of deal?”He took a

  • Rejected and Banished; The kids are his.   Chapter seventy nine.

    Eva's POV. After the fight with Nicki, I sat beneath the tree again, brushing off the remnants of dust and dried blood on my knuckles. My chest still heaved slightly from the adrenaline, and my heart, although slower than a few minutes ago, still thumped with the taste of release, It had felt good, too good. And he was still beside me.Nicklaus.Leaning with one knee bent and the other stretched out casually like we hadn’t just made a mess. "That felt really good." I giggled excitedly.I never knew a day would come when I'll stand up for myself and actually win the fight. "Weakness is an advantage to your enemies..."They will feed on it and leave you dry." I quickly cut him off, finishing off the sentence. I can't believe I've memorized that in my head already. “Hey…” I turned to him, my voice softer than I expected. "Yes, little wolf?” He lifted a brow.I frowned at the nickname, do I even deserve that when I don't even have a wolf?I pushed that to the back of my head and f

  • Rejected and Banished; The kids are his.   Chapter seventy eight.

    Eva's POV.Breakfast was barely over before I jumped towards the door, heading outside. That wasn't my usual routine, I always ran back to my room immediately after breakfast while Ethan and Annabelle went out to play or visit friends. But today was different, my room wasn't safe for me anymore. I can't seem to close my eyes for a second in there without his face popping up. I couldn’t breathe in my own room anymore.Everything felt heavy.The air, my body, my thoughts. Especially my thoughts.The moment I had opened my eyes this morning, I was still trembling from the dream. Last night.I didn’t dare describe it to anyone. God, I could barely admit it to myself. But it felt so real. The way his mouth moved on mine. The way his hands...I let out a groan as I made my way towards the door. "Eva, where are you headed?" I heard mom call out. "Out." I replied curtly. "Out." She repeated, fixing her gaze on me. "That's new, you never want to go out, and you're not even going with Et
