THE ALPHA'S BELOVED

A faint sound of footsteps echoed through the room, there was still someone there, lingering in the room. Serena and Eve stood still in the dark passageway, not making a sound for fear of discovery. The walls were thin, and it was a risky move to make any sound while there was someone in there so they had to wait.Thankfully, Serena didn't have to explain this to her, she could just tell, judging by how easily it was to hear the guards from here. Perhaps if they went farther away from the entrance, hearing them would be harder but for now they couldn't move.Eve’s heart pounded in her chest, full of fear and doubt. She didn't want to believe whatever it was she had heard Zane say, but she also couldn't pretend she didn't hear it either or it wasn't bugging her. It was. They wanted her dead, and if Zane was personally carrying this order out, then surely it must have come from Kai, which meant that he wanted her dead, and that didn't make any sense to her.Why? For Juliana? Would he r

Juliana let out a deafening moan as Kai’s lips devoured hers. The kiss was fierce, his heart breaking as he pushed her to the edge of the bed, and they both fell on to the sheets, him on top of her. He didn't even take a moment to look at her face or seize the moment as his lips met hers again. He couldn't. He couldn't look at her. He didn't want to see her face and know that she wasn't Eve.

Eve woke up from what felt like a long dream or rather a nightmare. The room was dark, the only source of light being the dim moonlight filtering in through a small window. It felt like there was a gigantic hole in her chest, one that felt as empty as it was heavy and achingly so. Her eyes slowly flickered open and without taking any notice of the unfamiliar environment that she was presently, she laid there, eyes fixed to the ceiling, mind burning with the nightmare that was her reality. Her mind churned with the day's tragedy—the betrayal—His betrayal. Kai. A tear rolled down the sides of her face as she thought of him, and their beautiful relationship—their son. More tears gathered in her eyes as the hurt grew even more as the memories came. The betrayal burned through her whole body, it felt almost like someone was pushing a knife through her heart, killing her, and Eve broke down, bringing her palm to her face as she cried for what felt like years, an eternity—she cried all
