Hidden In Lust, Hunted By Shadows. 

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 peeping into the bathroom replied, “cleared!”

“I saw Alpha James coming into the room not long ago, and Luna Evren had been in the room just immediately after the party. I asked guys to keep their eyes on them.”

He retracted his footsteps back into the room. If he had turned and slightly tilted the door behind his book while in the room, he would have seen us.

“When you are not smart enough to give correct intelligence!” The other voice snapped.

“Let's get out of here before anyone meets us here.” 

Not long. Their footsteps disappeared. Door shut.

I heaved a sigh but something caught my attention. Something important.

Alpha James wanted when held back his arm.

But, wait…” 

He turned and looked at me. His eyes were devoid of nervousness or panicking which was the exact opposite of mine.

“Those guys called my name…”

“Why are they after my life?”

He looked into my eyes, smiled, and placed a wet peck on my forehead. It is nothing,

“Nothing?” I quickly cut-in.

“Yes nothing, " he answered by putting up a smile.

I didn't want to press too much. All I want for us is to continue what we started. So it could afford me the opportunity to carry out my plan. Sorry, my father's plan.

I paced my footsteps behind him as we walked out of the bathroom in stack nakedness.

 “It's just normal pack business between some unruly people and they have chosen today to strike.”

He picked his clothes on the floor and started to put them on.

He turned to me, bent low and pecked me on the forehead.

“Give me a few minutes, my Luna and I have business to handle.”

He stepped out of the room fuming with rage. I could hear footsteps fading away.

“Fuck!” I balled my arms into fist as I slammed it onto the mattress repeatedly.

‘Plan failed. Is he coming back into the room?’ I said to myself.

If he failed to come back. It means I am screwed. What will I tell my father? That I couldn't chip Alpha James. 

A baby task of this manner I couldn't successfully carry out? I think I am screwed.

He wouldn't blink twice before he removed me from his plan. From the scheme of things.

I pray within me for alpha James to come back into the room. But minutes turned to hours but yet, he didn't show up.

I Looked around but I couldn't find anything that was close to a male possession to signify that this room is his . 

I gravitated to the wardrobe. Just a few female shoes and bags. This place is maybe meant for his concubine or one night stand or…

I picked my undies, scattered them on the floor. It would be stupid of me to remove the hair clip and It. 

The following morning I woke from bed with a knock.

I knew it was time.

I jacked up. 

“ Please, your breakfast is ready,” the word emanated from the doorway. “Can I bring it now?”

I paused a little bit before answering.

 “Yes, you can come in.”

Immediately one of the ladies who applied make-up yesterday came through the door in a palace uniform, stepped in with a large tray of food and fruits, located a stool nearby and put the food there.

She looked around to be sure if someone wasn't in the room.

She brought out a piece of paper from her inner wear and gave it to me.

“Boss said, I should give you this.”
