Selina's POV.

"Wh.. What? No. That can't be true, I've only met him." I stuttered, breath slowly sinking to my stomach.

"That's because he doesn't want anyone to know him, he's doing all of this because he detests Malik so much."

"How do you know about him then?" I couldn't help but ask.

His face suddenly crunched into an unreadable expression. "I uhm... He reached out." His voice was unexpectedly high.

"He reached out to me immediately Malik killed his messenger because somehow he knew you and I are together, that is why I'm here."

My gaze on him lingered, finding his expression a little off. "Well, what does he want?" I asked.

"The mission must be completed, as soon as possible."

I almost lost my footing but he was quick to hold me, letting me fall back into his arms.

"It's not so easy, Declan, I swear to you, taking a life is not as quick as it sounds." I mumbled.

"Well, it's time to step in," his eyes glistened with anger.

"What?"

"You almost died Selina, you think I didn't h

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

    Eva's POV."I don't know how much longer I can hold myself back from taking you right here and now Eva." Nicklaus whispered against my ear, and a sharp shiver of ecstasy washed down my spine. We were still on our way back to the pack, and the both of us alone at the backseat of the carriage wasn't helping matters... Not with how long we've been apart from each other.I couldn't hold myself back either, I needed him to touch me already.It was obvious none of us was strong enough to resist the tension until we get to the house."What if I don't want you to hold yourself back? What if I want you to take me right here?" I bit my lips seductively and a wide grin broke out on his face."Oh Eva, how I've missed you, my naughty wife." He cooed moving both his hands down to my waist and I felt his fingertips dig into my skin as he pulled me in for a kiss,. With all the passion that had been waiting for the past few weeks, he pressed his lips to mine and kissed me hungrily. I could feel my wh

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

    Eva's POV.Nicklaus was downstairs speaking with my father, finalizing whatever arrangements needed to be made before we left. I could faintly hear their voices through the floorboards... There was no tension anymore, no unspoken hostility. Just understanding.But that didn’t make saying goodbye any easier.“Do you need help with that?” My mother’s voice came from the doorway.I turned to see her leaning gently against the frame, her expression soft. Her hair was tied back in its usual neat braid, though her eyes shimmered with the kind of sadness only mothers could hide behind calm smiles.I smiled weakly. “I think I’ve got it. I’m just… delaying the inevitable.”She came closer and sat beside me on the bed. “It never gets easy, does it?”I shook my head, my throat tightening. “No. It doesn’t.”Her hand reached for mine, warm and familiar. “You’ve grown so much, Eva. The girl who used to hide behind whenever any pack member mocked her about her wolf is now the queen of all wolves. Ye

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

    Eva's POV.I couldn’t sit still.The moment the guard bursted into my room to tell me Nicklaus had been spotted crossing the pack’s border, my entire body went rigid. My breath caught somewhere between my throat and chest, and I’d been pacing ever since... back and forth, back and forth, like a caged wolf that had just caught the scent of freedom and fear all at once.He came.He actually came.My heart thudded so loud I could hear it echoing in my ears. For days, I had imagined him pacing the palace, angry and hurt, refusing to come after me out of pure pride. I’d convinced myself he’d stay away just to teach me a lesson... that I’d have to crawl back before he lifted a finger. But he didn’t wait. He came himself.“Moon goddess…” I whispered, dragging my fingers through my hair and exhaling shakily. “What am I supposed to do now?”I turned again, pacing to the far side of the room. He was close. Too close.I could feel it in my bones.The closer he came, the stronger the bond pulsed

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

    Eva's POV.I sat by the window, my legs curled beneath me, staring blankly at the trees outside. Everything was normal.Everything except me.It had been days since I last truly smiled. Not the polite kind I gave my mother when she checked in on me, or the ones I wore at the dinner table. I meant a real smile, the kind that came without thought, without effort. The kind Nicklaus used to pull out of me just by looking at me a certain way.But even thinking his name hurt.I sighed and hugged my knees tighter. My eyes felt heavy, not from sleepiness, but from how much I’d cried lately. It’s strange, how tears could make your eyes ache like your heart.The door creaked.I didn’t turn immediately. I thought it was my mother again, coming to remind me to eat. But then I heard a familiar, deeper voice“Eva?”My head lifted instantly. “Father?”He stood by the door, dressed in his usual brown tunic and cloak. There was something hesitant in the way he lingered there, as though he wasn’t sure

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

    Nicklaus sat behind his desk, a mountain of documents spread before him, most untouched. His fingers hovered over a quill, motionless. The ink had dried at its tip, much like his will to pretend everything was fine. The early afternoon light streamed through the tall windows.He had spent days convincing himself that he needed this distance. That Eva’s absence was necessary, maybe even deserved. Yet, every time he passed her side of the bed, or walked by the garden where she used to sit reading, something in his chest twisted so tightly it almost hurt to breathe.“Your Majesty,” came a voice at the door.Nicklaus looked up to see Harlen, his beta and most trusted aide, standing with a folder in hand. “The patrol reports from the outskirt borders,” Raymond said, stepping in.“Leave them there,” Nicklaus replied quietly, motioning toward the desk.Harlen did as he was told but lingered. He watched his king closely... the stiffness in his posture, the slight hollowness under his eyes. “Y

    Ethan walked out, his jaw clenched, his heart thudding against his ribs. He looked nothing like the confident young warrior the pack was used to seeing. His steps were hesitant, and his shoulders stiff. There was fear in his eyes.Beside him stood Eva... She had convinced him to come, and though he hadn’t said a word during the entire short walk, she could feel the storm raging inside him.Maria’s house was a small cottage near the eastern edge of the pack. As they approached the house, Ethan stopped at the gate and exhaled shakily.“I can’t do this,” he murmured, his voice breaking slightly. “Eva, I... what if she hates me?”Eva placed her hand gently on his arm. “She doesn’t hate you, Ethan. She just wants to be seen. That’s all.”He glanced at her, uncertainty flickering behind his eyes. “I don’t know what to say.”“Then don’t plan it,” she said softly. “Speak from your heart. That’s what people remember.”The door opened before Ethan could reply. Maria appeared, thinner than Eva
