Russell
For Eva, who meant more to me than life itself, I was prepared to give up everything. But after I killed the alpha, I began to feel like I was dead for real. Since she was my true mate, I will never feel bad about saving her from the alpha's clutches, but I never in a million years thought I'd turn into a rogue or a killer! In all my years, the thought of committing murder or serious bodily harm to another person has never even crossed my mind.I was not created for battle; rather, my destiny is to serve others with kindness and vigilance.I will never forget the alpha's last gasps of air, nor will I ever forget the sight of blood pooling around him.Getting my head around it was a challenge.Not to mention, I was forced to keep a low profile for fear of being discovered, just like a real-life criminal. The rest of the pack would never believe me. I need to spill the beans on everything that went down if I want them to take me seriously, but I worry that doing so will damage Eva's reputation. No one in the pack would ever think that Eva's brother sold her to the Alpha, and even if they did, the Alpha's luna wouldn't let Eva and me stay alive for more than a few days. Due to this, I had no choice but to leave quickly.It was the worst possible thing that could have happened to me, but she was too fragile to handle life in yet another foreign land. Leaving her behind was the worst possible outcome, given that I had no idea of my fate or where I was going.Even though I didn't know for sure that her f***ing brother wouldn't sell her body again, I had to stop her from following me. However, I did help my uncle out financially so that he could support her in her independent living arrangements until we could all be together again.My plan was to travel through the woods to reach the next nearest pack, given that our house was so close to the territory boundary.Given the pack's stellar reputation in the winemaking industry, they were always on the lookout for new farmers and laborers. I had heard a lot of good things about this pack. It was the world's most renowned vintage, and the green warrior's Pack was so massive that it would be next to impossible to track me down.As I was about to get into my car, however, I heard Eva call out my name, "Russell! Stop. If you could wait for me, that would be great."In my head, it was all an optical illusion, and she couldn't possibly follow me. I asked my uncle to close and lock the door behind her so she wouldn't escape. And I knew he would do whatever he could to keep her from me, knowing it was for her own good.As I cocked my head, I saw her crying while running full speed towards me in the growing darkness of near midnight. Her voice was rising in volume once more, and she was closing the distance between us.“Eva! Is it possible that it's you?" An exclamation of shock came from me. I felt my heart pounding uncomfortably in my chest. Even though it was my instinct to wrap my arms around her and take her with me, I knew that it was my duty as her mate to keep her from harm. Both of those were temptations I had to resist.As tears threatened to spill over my face, I remained still and commanded, "I told you to stay in the pack. What makes you think I'm someone you should follow?She was my soulmate from the start; she could understand me completely. I wanted to act angry so badly, but I couldn't bring myself to do it.She threw herself against me, sobbing as she clung to my shirt. "You love me, and I love you," she whispered. " Obviously, I can't just send you off on your own. Wherever you go, I will be there with you."My heart felt like it was being hammered out of my chest with every enchanting word that came from her lips. Taking a deep breath, I met her already bloodshot eyes. However, I begged, "Please see what I mean. I swear on my honor that I will save you."Her voice was high-pitched as she said, "no. I don't believe you. The truth is, I can't let you go. To what extent are you paying attention to what I'm saying?"I tried to pull away, but she cupped my cheeks and said, "If you left me now, I would kill myself." She still had a strong attachment to me no matter what I did.Her words seemed earnest, and I was cognizant of the depth of my own and her mutual fixation.Deep breaths later, I gave in and said, "okay. So then, shall we go ahead and do it together?"I kissed her passionately, and then pulled away to check on her, relieved to see that she seemed to have found a relaxing position. When she was ready, I waited for her by the car door and then opened it for her before saying, "All right, let's get in then."Thankfully, she came to my aid and, after a brief assessment, she informed me, "No, we cannot use your car. The traces can then be found more easily. We'll have to make our way through the woods regardless, so we might as well hide our tracks."I puzzledly looked at her, knowing that the only way to alter the odor of our bodies was to have sex. The reason we had never done it before was because I had promised her that we wouldn't until after the official mating ceremony.She gave me a long, intense stare during which I was still deliberating. "what? Russell? We're already sure that we're meant to be together, and we've made a pact to live together for the rest of our lives. We should, therefore, because there's no good reason not to. Since we are in the woods, it is possible for us to do this. However, further delay is unacceptable at this time."I was at a loss for words and could only manage, "Are you sure?"My biggest fear was that after everything we'd been through together, she'd turn her life into a shambles.She nodded, locked the door of the car, dragged me far into the woods, and stopped behind a tree, saying, "I am very sure. Unless you've reconsidered your relationship with me and decided to go your separate way. To show my gratitude for your sacrifice to ensure my own happiness, here is the best I can do for you."I sighed; there was no time; I looked around; my vision was so sharp; and I found a tiny cottage in the woods and said, "We can do it there. But we cannot afford to waste any more time here. Allow me to rephrase my question: Are you sure? You can still catch up to the rest of the pack and go on with your life."Then, in the pauses between her shallow breaths, she pressed her lips to mine in a sweet, tender kiss that brought us closer together emotionally. "No matter what happens, you are mine and I am yours."Russell I reached out and took her hand, and we stumbled our way through the dark woods. In order to avoid being discovered by the rest of the pack, we made sure to keep a constant vigilance on the horizon. My faint hope that the cute little cottage was uninhabited was soon dashed when I realized that the only way to find out for sure was to pay a visit.After a short journey, we arrived at the cottage's front door, but the lights had gone out. "Everyone, please keep quiet and stay where you are. I need to check inside to see if anyone lives here, so if you'll excuse me, I have to go inside.Her head nodding and willingness to do as I commanded were clear signs of her submission. The door was too small for me to have any trouble opening it, and it didn't look like anyone had lived there in a long time. So I did the only thing I could think of: I breathed a sigh of relief and called her name to have her come inside.She then walked in. There was only a solitary old sofa and absolutely
EvaIn spite of the fact that it took some time, Russell and I were eventually able to consummate our relationship and merge into a single entity. I don't think there was ever a point in my life when I didn't daydream about being in his presence. I was aware of the fact that I had never in my wildest dreams envisioned spending our first night together and losing my virginity in such a way, but in spite of this, I discovered that I enjoyed it very much, and the process moved fairly quickly. I also found that it was relatively easy to do.After he freed me from the alpha's grasp, it fell on me to free him as well as myself from the situation we were in. I simply am unable to fathom a point in my life when I will no longer be able to call him a part of it.When we were both walking and venturing further into the woods, I couldn't help but cast a few sidelong glances in Russell's direction every so often. I completely forgot to ask him about his plans for the future, which is an error tha
RussellI couldn't believe it, because I wasn't a moron, and that wasn't the best time to be frittering away money. Someone took our money, and even if I wanted it back, I wouldn't live with the pack again in the house we used to share. Unfortunately, I couldn't comply. I know that if I set foot inside that pack again, I will be killed instantly.Eva's life wasn't always so tough, and I felt bad for her because of that. She wasn't exactly living the high life, but neither was it that bad. The house she lived in was nothing special.When I saw how scared she was, all I could do was hug her tightly and try to reassure her by saying, "It's going to be okay." "If you can help it, honey, try to hold back the tears. I'm going to figure out a solution to this issue. Don't fret; I'll make it my mission to locate suitable employment and lodgings for us. Put your mind at ease."When I saw that she was dizzy, I kept kissing her cheeks. I felt like my spirit had been sucked out of me, and I didn'
RussellI was terrified by the tone of their yells as they directed them at me, demanding that I stop dead in my tracks. In an instant, my whole life played out before me, and I saw myself dead or, even worse, spending the rest of my days locked up in a cell until I rotted away. The warriors were already too close, and their fighting skills and speed far surpassed those of anyone else, so even if I tried to run away, I would never make it anywhere. All the while, my heart was thumping furiously in my chest, and I knew I couldn't run away.In my case, I simply took my place and played my part. When I finally managed to catch my breath and look at them, they had already moved on to pay attention to someone else who had been following us.I felt like crying; it had never occurred to me that I could be so lucky. There was a great heave on my part. It wasn't directed at me, but at someone else in the room. The suspect was cuffed and taken away afterward. At this time, I
Russell"Lucas!" It took him by surprise to see me there, especially chatting with the alpha, so I hugged him and he hugged back.Totally taken aback, Lucas asked, "Are you serious?" "Why are you just standing around in this area, Russell? What are you doing? Just why didn't you give me a call?"A sigh escaped me, and I mumbled, "Since my wallet and ID were in the car that broke down on the way here, I cannot prove my identity. In all honesty, it's a tragic event that drags on for quite some time. My primary goal while in this pack, however, is to find work."The alpha regarded me and then turned to Lucas, asking, "so, you know him already?" Despite Lucas's hesitance, the alpha persisted in asking him a question.It was a yes from Lucas, so "Absolutely, Alpha. Quite some time has passed since we last saw each other.""Good, then take Russell to fix the limo," the alpha said, and the conversation continued.The immovability of Lucas's stance gave me
RussellI went to the castle with Lucas, but I didn't actually go inside; the gates were enormous, and there was a huge garden as well as a massive horse stable and a huge garage for cars. Strangely, Lucas made every effort not to take me straight to the garage when we were leaving the restaurant. Or at least that's what I thought at the time.On the other hand, he led me straight to the stable where the horses were kept."Follow me," huffed Lucas, looking at me with an annoyed expression.My curiosity led me to ask and wonder, "to where? You were tasked by the alpha with showing me to the lodgings where I will be residing."Lucas laughed at me while making fun of me and asked, "place? You actually believe that you are going to remain in a positive environment, don't you?"I narrowed my eyes, perplexed, but seriously, his words made my heart pound hard in my chest; I hoped for the best, and responded with "yes, sort of."However, Lucas pointed to me with the back of his head and said,
RussellLucas was fuming with rage; he believed that I would never agree to live in such a place because I lived at a standard of living that was considered average.But in the end, I didn't have anywhere to run; I was already evading the warriors of the moonlight pack for being responsible for the death of the alpha. Even though I knew Eva would never leave me, I couldn't help but feel bad for her and worry about how she would react to having to live in such a terrible environment."I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, Lucas. Could I ask, sir, if it is okay for me to leave right now? It's important that I go to my sister's room in the hotel and pick her up right away?" I asked Lucas politely.Lucas said, "It's fine, I'll come along with you. In addition, in order for you to comprehend that I do not despise you, I am offering you the opportunity to spend the night in my modest home."It was necessary for me to thank him for that.Despite this, I was confident that the reason h
EvaI simply was not able to find the words to express how I felt; I had the impression that we had gone astray! What transpired in the past two days with me and, more importantly, with us, was a horrible experience. And when Russell told me that he had tracked down his long-lost friend, I allowed myself to entertain the possibility that things could somehow work out for the best.But it took me completely by surprise when I saw Lucas treat Russell as though he were an omega. At that precise moment, I could only sense bad vibes coming from everywhere. And I had the distinct impression that not even Russell himself would be able to protect me or defend himself at this point, which was the first time in my life that I had ever had such an impression.I did not engage in any form of conversation or offer any comments.Until Lucas finally c
