Chapter 3
James POV.
“Father!” I cried out, “ have I offended you in anyways?”
“Not at all, son, everything is about your future and the future of this great pack. So prep-up, the maids will be on their way.”
He slammed the door. The fading away of his footsteps drove me mad.
I took the martini bottle and smashed it against the wall in anger. So intense that it attracted a concerned maid.
“I hope all is well, Alpha James?”
“Did I call you? Or did i tell you that all is not well with me, so get the fuck out of here!” I melted out my frustrations on the innocent lady.
“I am sorry my alpha.” She replied by quickly shutting the door.
I scratched my head in frustration, wondering what to do next.
‘Elope. James you need to elope. You need to elope with the love of your life. You need to elope now!’ A tender voice instructed me.
These people think they can control your life like a video game console? Then you need to show them the stuff you are made up of.
I checked the time. I still have roughly five hours left for their ill-fated wedding. Not in this life will I be part of this shame.
To get to Sophia's place wouldn't take me more than an hour. Thankfully I have the keys to her apartment. An hour later we should be on the road out of this prison. We wouldn't take any luggage to prevent any suspicion.
I picked up my black card, the most important item in this life of sin to me now . I had to tip one of the drivers to help me with a car, parked a few kilometers away from the palace.
Few hours later, I was at Sophia's place. I do not have to move the car into her garage. I picked up her apartment keys from my car safe box. I knew she would still be at work by now.
My mind had been occupied by the event that had taken place at the palace and what lies ahead after we leave this pack. I thrust the key into the keyhole and I pressed the knob. I opened the door absentmindedly.
“What?” the word barely came out of my mouth.
Sophia gasped. Her hand flew around chest, trying to cover herself with the bedsheets.
She looked pale, shaking. Her voice was messy and crashing into each other.
“My alpha James!” She uttered.
She and a rogue wolf stood up from the bed to get the bed sheet to cover their nakedness.
“Can someone explain to me what is going on here?” I uttered with confusion my eyes darting to and fro around them like a pendulum.
Sophia’s lover faced the wall like a scared little pup.
I yelled, "Turn around now!”
He did.
I felt like the floor disappeared beneath me. It was David, my formed chauffeur. Chewing my woman.
I could see her undies and that of her lover’s boxer, scattered on the floor.
“So is this what you have been up to Sophia?”
“No, I can explain?”
“What explanation?” I fired back.
The room became tense like never before. Intense Sweat had been palpitating on my forehead.
Sophia was about to move closer to me.
“If you move an inch closer, it would be the greatest mistake you have ever thought of.” I uttered with fury, my blood began to boil.
The other guy was jiltering at the corner close to the bed.
“It was not my fault, I have called you severally about the issue of your performance in bed, but you have refused to do something about it. I crave for sex a lot and you are not just available…”
“Shut your trap Sophia, you bloody harlot! Is that the reason you have been sleeping with this trash? My former-chauffeur?”
Pointing to him aggressively he still shakes at the corner of the room.
“And you, when have you been fucking her?” I asked point-blankly.
“I am so sorry sir…” He stuttered with words.
“You have not answered my question.” I fired back In rage.
I said, “since when have you guys been seeing each other?
“Around that last year sir.”
Sarah quickly interrupted, “it's a lie. He is lying, get the hell out of my room.”
“Shhh… how many times do I need to tell you that you should stop interrupting me, I won't repeat myself anymore.”
“Which means, you are the owner of this too.” Pointing to Sarah’s belly from where I stood.
He nodded yes and faced the ground.
My gaze returned to Sophia, “never in your life do I want to have anything to do with you again.”
“Pls I can explain my Alpha.”
I stomped out of the room in anger while she followed me, she had looked for ways to put on her crop-top and bum-shot to cover her shamelessness.
I promise this won't repeat itself again, Alpha James.” Sophia uttered while pleading with me until I got into my car.
At this moment people have been gathering and this is what I detest most. Can you imagine breaking up with a woman now and seeing your face on the front page of the morning tabloid the following day as a newly wedded couple to an entirely different woman? That is too ironic.
I yanked off her hand, I slammed the door and I sped off. Sophia doesn't deserve me. I had to leave the lies, betrayal and fake love we have behind. I have to love myself. I have to stick with the elders' and my father's plan for me.
My father has always been right when he takes this kind of stance. I have to love my Luna with everything in me and everything I have and everything it takes for my marriage to work.
Afterall I don't even know Evren closely. Everything I have heard about her attitude were just rumors.
Elder Alexander POV.
“Brilliant, I never knew that you were such a good actor, look at the way you perfectly play your role. The idiot took it hook, line and sinker, likewise everyone.” I slapped Elder Cedric shoulder and hugged him for a job well done.
“I have been acting since I was little, just never took it as a passion, when the stakes are very high like this I have to recall my passion.” Elder Cedric smirked. While they both busted into laughter.
“But, how do you manage to convince your daughter, Evren?” He questioned with curiosity.
“Do you think Evren is ready for this? I do not think She is ready to condescend to this level, not to talk of any pack politics?” I uttered.
Elder Cedric's eyes opened in bewilderment, “so what are we doing now, because we only have a few hours to the wedding? I wouldn't be part of this if this is how you are going to mess me up. I thought Evren had agreed to the union, I never knew that this is the story you will be coming up with. And you know the repercussions if…”
“Enough Cedric!” I bellowed while my laughter suddenly transformed into intense anger.
“I have it under control. Just concentrate. Just focus.” I commanded.
I reached for my phone in my pocket, and commanded, “bring in the package with you.”
A fraction of seconds later, she was brought in. She was enveloped in blue clothing and black veil.
“Get this out of her?” I bellowed with anger, don't you guys know that she is an important asset to this mission?”
Immediately, the veil was uncovered? The lady was partially naked only with a bra and pants.
She quickly uttered,“father” and was about closing the distance for a hug. I quickly raised my hands to stop her on her track, “Don't father me!”
Elder Cedric quickly cut-in when he sighted the person In front of us.
“What have you done to Evren? Why did you have to go this far to subdue your daughter to this level? Your only daughter, Alexander. This clearly shows your desperation. But,...”
“You talk too much, Elder Cedric!” I quickly cut-in and fired back in rage, sending a note of warning to his unguided tongue.
“This is Evelyn and not Evren.” I uttered.
Elder Cedric's eyes felt like bulging ou
t of his eye socket in shock.
“So, Evren had a twin sister?” Elder Cedric uttered in confusion.
“Tend her up, we are running late for the wedding!” I instructed the guards.
Chapter 5.Evelyn POV.Our mouths laid on top of each other like we have been lovers. I looked into his eyes. I squeezed my brow, curiosity filled me. I hope he will say something. Something meaningful about these unknown entities. Who barged into the room, not just any room. One of the rooms in the palace mansions where the newly wedded alpha and his Luna are sleeping.“Never mind,” He whispered back.His warm breath laced with alcohol, caressed my skin. “Have you ransacked the bathroom?”The other quickly moved into the bathroom. I could hear the footsteps of his shoes approaching.Our eyes lit up in shock behind. Alpha James quickly placed his finger tip on my lips. A sign of quietness. Do not shake. Danger lurks. My breath seized. Hand on the knob. It turned. The door creaked open. It made a funny sound that danger is here. We glue ourselves like well flattened snakes at the bark. “Let's get out of here!” The voice from the bedroom snapped, “No sign of anyone here.”The one pee
Chapter 4Evelyn POV.I stood In Front of this man oblivious to me. Just a few minutes ago we met. It was indeed a cold reception. I knew he never liked me. He doesn't need to like me anyway. No one loves an arranged marriage. It is always a bottomless pit, full of life surprises. You don't know what is waiting for you until you get in. I had to play my script, and play it excellently smart. Otherwise I would regret the day I came to this earth. I have been well briefed and there is no sloppiness. I need to use this to gain the trust of my father. Maybe my affection can find a way in his heart. I don't really want much. I just want him to love me half as much as Evren, my twin sister. Now everyone knows me as Evren. Not Evelyn, a poor forgotten child of elder Alexander.“Will you Evren Blackwood take alpha James Radcliffe as your fated mate and the one and only love of your life?” the priest in front of us solemnly declared.Alpha James had tapped me into reality, because the world

Chapter 2 James POV.“What the f..!” The word escaped from my lips before I could catch it. My eyes flew wide open, for a second, it felt like someone launched a fist in my stomach . Thick saliva gathered at my throat. I couldn't gather enough strength to push it down my dry gullet.“Yes Evren my Lord,” Elder Cedric said proudly, “ he’s the perfect mate and future Luna for our young Alpha James.”“Evren??? That's the last straw! Father stop them, please don't let them do this...” I murmured and prayed silently from where I was sitting, lowering my head and hiding my panicked face from the public.Voices filled the room. A few elders' nodded. Some whispered to each other smiling, like they had just won a lottery.Elder Cedric kept going, puffing his chest. “Everyone knows the impact of Evren from the area of education, to business, to health and and even charity organizations which has not only influenced the lives of people in crescent packs, but other packs across the world.” I w
Chapter 1.James POV.I watched with excitement as I sat next to my father, the king and alpha of Crescent pack. It was elders meetings, the most important gathering in Alpha Crescent pack.This takes place once in every five years.It's an event only for the elites. People who take strategic positions in crescent moon pack. where diverse issues from economy, to welfare and other sectors.This alone prides Crescent packs far above every other pack.Wines and different delicacies were served. Likewise the best musicians and dancers were hired to do their own justice to this memorable occasion.As I pay keen attention to how diverse issues were raised and how my father used his knowledgeable position to bring up solutions to some of these issues, others were thrown into the gatherings for the elders to add their inputs.Then someone yelled from the gathering.“Long live our king!” Head turned. I frowned.It was Elder Cedric.He wobbled up his tired feet towards the stage. A wine glass
