LOGINHe started walking towards her, and that was when she really appreciated how tall he was. She was at least 5ft'7 tall, but she remembered just reaching his chest when they stood close to each other at the night club.
“What's all this?” Her voice came out very dull and cracked. How long was she out?
“Finally, you're awake,” he said.
“Why did you kidnap me?” Evelyn questioned.
“Woah, woah, kidnap you? I didn't kidnap you, love. I saved you.” He responded, getting closer to her. He bent hovering above her, his hand on the side of the bed, while the other was on the bed's headboard just above her head, flaunting his neatly folded sleeves.
His glassy blue eyes locked gazes with her green ones that stared fiercely at him, not buying what he was saying.
“Release me! Don't you think because you're some big shot you'll get away with kidnapping me! My husband would be looking for me by now, and when he finds me, you won't be so smug then. All the betas’ that you paid to betray my husband would be punished too.” Eve emphasized.
Zayn stood up straight and bursts into laughter. Evelyn all of a sudden felt intimidated by his laughter.
“Hmm,” he started once he was done laughing, “Your husband planned your assassination, and I saved you from his betas. You've been out for the past ten days now because of the great amount of wolfsbane injected into your system, you could have died from it but I did everything I could to save you, and your fool of a husband already declared you dead-”
“That's not true!” Evelyn cuts in, refusing to believe what he was saying. Wright was anything but a cruel murderer.
“You’ll see for yourself tomorrow. In order to protect you, I didn't inform anyone that I had you when you were announced missing, because I knew he'd come to get you as his mate, and finish you off.
“Tomorrow, we'd be attending a ball he'd be holding at his family's mansion. Go to him, and see if all I'm saying is a lie, I'm sure he's already prepared divorce documents in case you finally show up in his life again. He's going to use his influence to divorce you and take over all your little fortune-”
“Wright doesn't need my fortune, he's already rich,” Eve interrupted.
Zayn chuckled softly, “Don't underestimate the power of greed, especially if the fortune was gotten through it in the first place.”
“And why should I believe you? You have me handcuffed to your bed, how am I sure you didn't kidnap me so that you can have me all to yourself?!” Evelyn pointed out.
Zayn hovered above her again.
He grinned mischievously, “That may be true.”
‘Huh?!’ Evelyn thought. She swallowed the lump in her throat. She just said that, she never expected him to actually admit to it.
“W-What?-”
“You don't have to believe me. You'll see for yourself tomorrow. Do you really think your pack just died like that five years ago?” He smirked at her.
“What do you mean?” Evelyn uttered, at his revelation.
“Wright Cane has been targeting your family's fortune and assets for a very long time. He has this perfectly planned out, and you just danced to his rhythm.” Zayn continued.
“How do you know all these?” Evelyn questioned.
Zayn chuckled, standing straight again. He leaned against the wall, hands crossed across his chest. His hard chiseled chest and drool-worthy torso was revealed as the first few buttons of his black tshirt were undone, coupled with the black tshirt almost hugging his torso.
“I have my ways, love.” He replied.
“I can't believe you!” Evelyn said more to herself.
“Suit yourself!” He responded, “You are handcuffed because I knew she'd panic once you wake up- Then you'd probably runaway and get caught by who wants you dead.”
Zayn sighed, then smiled at her. “Look Evelyn, I can help you get revenge, for his betrayal, and for your pack!” Zayn offered.
There was silence.
Then Evelyn broke it, “Let's say all these bullshit was true… what's in it for you? Why did you save me? Why are you helping me?”
“Because I also need something from you, obviously!” He answered, obnoxiously.
Evelyn creased her brows at him, “Which is?”
“It’s not new news that I'm cursed, it's probably being used as a horror bedtime story for kids now.” Zayn explained.
“I know. The beast within you is the most ferocious ever existed. The Moon goddess sealed it to you so that it wouldn't be passed down to anyone, cursing you with immorality, forced to carry the weight of being bond to such a beast for eternity.” Evelyn explained.
Zayn scoffed, “Is that what is being told to your generation now?”
Eve just blinked at him.
“Well, i don't have to go into all the details. I need to tame the beast, and sexual pleasures works just fine for it, but it requires me to have sex with at least seven women everyday,” Zayn pointed out.
Eve's mouth was in agape. She doesn't know the part of the tale.
“But you Evelyn,” Zayn continued. He sat on the bed close to Evelyn, “I spent just one night with you, and I went for days without the beast going berserk and causing havoc,”
“So… you practically want me to be your sex toy?!” Eve gritted her teeth at him.
Zayn chuckled, “You make it sound so bad if you put it like that. Let's get married Evelyn,”
“...”
“A marriage of convenience. I help you get your revenge, you help me tame my beast without me having to sleep with multiple women daily. C'mon Evelyn Hugo, marry me.” Zayn urged.
Evelyn laughed a small laughter hysterically, “There's no revenge to be taken in the first place.”
“I will not be your play thing Zayn Malik!” She added.
Zayn grinned, moving closer to her, “One would think you didn't enjoy our last time together,”
Eve flushed red at his words.
He moved even closer to her, his hand started moving up her delicate legs, and she realized she wasn't wearing any underwear under the night gown as his hand went under the gown and grabbed her bare butt. She let out a gasp, and was about to stop him with her other hand that wasn't cuffed, but his free hand held it in place on the bed's headboard.
“Please, don't!” She begged.
“Why? You don't like it anymore?” His calm aura became dark all of a sudden. He held her ankle and dragged her towards him, until he was in between her, closing the distance between them.
His hand walked up to her breast, and he pinched on her nipple making her to yelp in both pain and pleasure it ignited. His hand moved towards her vagina and her legs clapped his hand in between them at his sudden intrusion. He separated her legs all the while holding her gaze, she had long been silenced by his sinful touches.
He used three of his fingers to pleasure her while his thumb caressed her clit like last time. Her lips parted as she moaned in absolute pleasure. Why was her body betraying her this much? Why was it responding to his touches as if he had cast a spell on her?
She found herself moving her hips against his fingers to fasten the pace even more. He rested her hand which he had pinned, on his shoulder, which she gripped unto soon as she continued to move against his fingers. Her head joined her hand on his shoulder- She was having that climax feeling again. She whimpered as she finally came, breathing heavily over Zayn's shoulders.
‘Oh this is so embarrassing!’ She thought as she gasp for air, realizing how she just lost herself immediately in pleasure, like some sex starved she-wolf.
“You are so impatient,” Zayn whispered to her ears referring to how she moved herself against his fingers, adding to her embarrassment.
He sucked on her earlobe before letting her go. He stood up, and exited the room.
Evelyn sighed. She's not believing anything he had told her untill she confirms it herself. For all she knows, he might have fabricated this whole thing, just so he could keep her for this very purpose- Being his play thing.
…
The next day…
Wright's ball was to be held in the night.
Zayn finally removed the handcuff from her hand. She had a light dinner, and freshened up. She was soon dolled up by some stylist Zayn had brought for her, she was also wearing a dress he had bought for her.
She finally left that room she's been couped up in. Zayn's house was large and ancient looking indeed, but it was beautiful. She didn't have the leisure of time to admire the mansion. She was soon in a limo with Zayn, and they were driven to Wright's family mansion.
“Go in now,” Zayn said to her when they got there, and had already parked. The yard was filled with numerous luxury, that were well parked.
“Aren't you coming?” Eve asked.
“No, you go in yourself, confront your husband. I'll be here waiting.” He told.
She managed a smile at him, “No need. I won't be coming back.” She replied so sure, but though, more like reassuring herself- All Zayn has said to her should be bullshit, it has to be!- She thought, still in denial.
She got out of the car, and walked into the mansion, which of course is filled with the ball's attendees, and of course, they all stared at her bewildered that she was still alive and kicking.
Wright had just finished his welcoming speech and was about to greet the guests individually, when he spotted her.
Evelyn's lips pulled up in a small smile as he began to approach her. He grabbed her hand aggressively when he finally got to her, and dragged her into a study.
“Ouch you're hurting me Wright!” She cried, and he finally let her go.
The door was shut, and the room was soundproof.
“What.are you.doing.here? H-How are you still alive?!” Wright started.
Wow- She really wasn't expecting that response. She thou
ght he'd be happy to see her.
Was Zayn really telling the truth?
No…

"Well I guess we'll just have to hope for the best," Daphne continued.Daphne and her sister were omegas and they don't sound like they are from affluent families. But they have a refreshing aura to them.An alpha male in front of them, scanned around, and said to his companions who were men, "The rate at which women are participating in the council exams is quite... Disheartening. I mean the omegas, yeah... Everyone knows they barely climb higher than some lowly positions- But WOMEN (Scoffs)."Evelyn brows creased.Of course she hasn't forgotten the societal discrimination of the omegas. But women? Who still has such barbaric thoughts."Tell me about it," One of the other men added, "The Lycan council is slowly succumbing to this- Concept of equity today's society is introducing. They have no idea what it's doing to our social order.""Social order you say?!" Alicia couldn't help but react.The men turned towards her.Alicia glared at them irritated, "Scums like you are what's wrong
Maybe there used to be other creatures too. But the world they currently lived in was dominated by the Lycans. Then there's the werewolves- A creature that was before the Lycans but are now regarded as The rogue werewolves, the outlaws of their world.The Lycans and werewolves have been in war since the ages past.The rogue werewolves now despises the moon goddess, the deity they once reverend, because they believe that many centuries ago, for some reason, she just got bored and tired of them suddenly and decided to eliminate them from existence by bringing about the existence of the Lycans, a more advance wolf being, to get rid of the werewolves. But the truth was- They angered the moon goddess by their sinful and corrupt ways. A war broke out, but even though the werewolves were more in number, they didn't stand a chance against the Lycans.They were at the verge of going extinct, they had to flee. But many years ago they surfaced again, causing great headaches to the Lycan society.
"Evelyn..." Zayn started."What are you doing here?" He continued. Eve's brows creased.She freed her hand from his grasp. "I got so sick of being indoors all day, so I decided to go out with Ruby. Didn't you get my text?""I did." He replied curtly.Evelyn sighed, turning her head away.Then her eyes fixated on him again, "What about you? What are you doing here? Are you a regular?" She questions, being this was where she first met him."No," his hands went to his trouser pockets, "I'm the owner,""...""Uhm, I should really go now, since you were so busy with those ladies," she mentioned, then turned to leave but he held her hand again.He moved closer to her, "Why? Are you jealous?" He raised an eyebrow at her.She opened her mouth to respond but no words came out. She shuts it and looks away again."Just tell me..." She finally spoke, trailing off but gazing at him again, "Do you still sleep with other women?""..." Zayn's eyes lingered on her."Say something!" Her tone pleaded."
"You can use my study, but don't touch anything that doesn't concerns you." Zayn instructed.Evelyn nodded.She has to prepare for the council's screening process which happens to be just around the corner- Just three weeks away!Zayn gave her a bunch of thick books, and other materials like previous council exam questions and answers, and the histories of the previous council's screening process.'The council doesn't repeat its exam questions or other tasks, don't expect that. But they'd at least help you know what it's like.' Zayn told her as he gave her the materials."I promise I won't." Evelyn added."Good. You see, the council's screening process is very difficult, this is to ensure that not just anyone is taken into the council. It's not even that easy for the nobles to manipulate their way through it unless they know someone very powerful, someone like an elder, and not just any elder but senior elders like myself."But even so, you have to be prepared, your knowledge will be
They held each other's gazes for a while, before he quietly walked into the elevator and pushed the button to the ground floor.Evelyn's fingers pinched on each other, she doesn't feel comfortable being in the same space as him. But she'll have to get use to it as she'd be joining the council soon, and even his administration."What are you doing here Evelyn? Are you stalking me now?" He finally questions.Evelyn turned towards him, her gaze fierce. Then she huffed; "And what makes you think that?" She quipped. His jaw clenched."I don't owe you any explanations but if you insist, well, you seem to forget that my husband is an elder of the council." She informed, a smug grin on her delicate lips."Husband?" He uttered, taken aback. Did Elder Zayn Malik marry her?- He thought.Evelyn then showed off the beautiful ruby ring on her finger.Impossible! He thought Elder Zayn was just having a fling with her, no way they were married now.The elevator's doors opened as it arrived at the gro
Evelyn peered intently at the gloves in her hands. They were black, with fury ends. 'We're married now, you have to fulfill your promises to me.' - She began recalling her last conversation with Zayn. She was in her room, and just finished getting dressed. She proceeded in putting on the gloves, they matched so well with her outfit which was a black v-neck sleeveless dress with thin straps. It was knee-length with a slit on the side, and she paired it with matching heels, and jewels. Then she walked out of the room to meet Zayn- Who has been waiting for her- Downstairs. "I'm taking you to visit the council not to dinner," Zayn commented. "You should know by now that I always dress this good." She responded. "Yes. You always do." He agreed. "I didn't overdo, did I?" She asked. "No. But why are you wearing those?" He questioned, referring to the gloves. She eyes lingered on them, then went to Zayn. She moved closer to him, "Can you lean closer?" He huffed. "Why?" He asked whi
