Selina's POV.

I felt Malik beside me shift, we were still on our knees, our hands tied, but the mood had shifted so radically it was like we were already free. He turned to me slowly, our eyes meeting.

“You okay?” he whispered.

I nodded, but my voice was stuck in my throat, I was trying so hard to process everything, I mean like I wouldn't have believed in a million years that Declan would actually fight for me, for Malik, despite everything.

I watched as he excused himself from the crowd and strode toward us.

He moved past the awestruck guards who were still standing over us, now looking more confused than threatening. They parted for him as if the battle had redrawn every line of power.

His hands trembled slightly as he reached for the ropes.

“Let me get these off,” he murmured.

I watched in stunned silence as he untied Malik’s wrists first, then mine. My fingers fumbled slightly, maybe from pain or nerves, I couldn’t tell, but when the ropes fell away, a flood of relief washed th

  • 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

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

    Eva's POV.I laid curled beneath my blanket, the cool breeze from the open window brushing over me, my eyes were closed, but I wasn’t asleep, sleep wouldn’t come, no matter how hard I tried. All I could see was him.The stranger in black, the one with eyes that looked like I could be lost in it if I stared too long.His voice echoed through my mind, and his presence, it had seeped into my bones, refusing to let go.I opened my eyes and sighed, rolling over to face the wall.It was just a conversation, a weird, mysterious conversation and yet it had left me feeling like I’d been cracked open, seen, and understood.“Ugh, get a grip, Eva,” I mumbled to myself, burying my face into my pillow.I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to force my mind elsewhere, but his face, those sharp cheekbones, and that long, flowing hair... wouldn’t leave. It was like he’d left a mark inside me just by being near.I suddenly heard something.A soft rustling sound. A low hiss escaped my mouth as I slowly, cur

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

    Twenty years later. Eva's POV.Ethan and I strolled out of the house after I'd begged him to stay indoors with me for the entire week, I could only compensate him by going for a short walk, he needed the fresh air, even if I didn't. It was a serene evening, one that should have brought peace.But nothing about me has been peaceful since the past twenty years. Ethan's presence has been a comforting constant in my life. We shared everything, our thoughts, our dreams, and unfortunately, the whispers that followed me wherever I went.As we passed a group of girls near the playing grounds, their laughter ceased, replaced by hushed murmurs and sideways glances. I felt their eyes on me, their judgment as palpable as the evening breeze."Did you hear? She still hasn't found her wolf," one whispered, not bothering to lower her voice."Twenty years old and still no sign. It's unnatural," another added, her tone dripping with disdain.My heart clenched. The words, though not new, pierced deep
