Eva's POV .I knew very well that my identity would be revealed sooner or later no matter how hard we tried to avoid the inevitable. It's not like I changed into a whole new person after I left this hellhole. What's once there within me, is always there. Just altered with Razna's presence and slight changes of my appearance. So when Leo's beta and my personal torturer-Doyle Leviathan caught a glimpse of my figure, it didn't take much time for him to disclose my identity."So, it's really you! Hah, what a pleasant surprise!!" He sneered amusedly, eyeing from my head to toe. It was few days later and sometime after a breakfast that he caught me alone, my brothers, mate and guardian nowhere to be found. I wonder where they all were..."Pardon?" I decisively acted dumb."Don't play dumb, little slave." He murmured, inching closer to me."...""You really don't know me? I thought you had fun spending time with me in those cold, dark cells. Haven't you?" Seeing my silence he continued spe
Eva's POV .The moment I woke up due to an uncomfortable movement, someone enveloped me with a bone crushing hug, a string of curses following soon after."Damn you, you little rascal! Why can't you stop worrying us?! Why can't you just stop twirling back into your past sufferings so you can stop giving us heart attacks?" With how disoriented I felt with the hug and yelling in my ear, I failed to recognize the owner of my current assault. The only thing I recognized was that it was a female."Uh" I wiggled in her embrace uncomfortably."What is it, Eva?""Wha-what happened? Where am I?" I asked confusedly, getting up to a sitting position. That's when I realized that I am in a car and the woman beside me is aunt Hecate."You lost consciousness when that damned beta tried to attack you. Good thing we arrived there soon after. Otherwise I don't know what your bodyguard might have done to that piece of shit." She cursed, offering me a bottle of water."And now we are...?" I trailed off,
Eva's POV .'Will you climb up, ma?' I asked through our mind-link, looking at my mother. Even though it had been few days by now, I still hadn't get a chance to learn all the customs around here and I'm sure that what I said wasn't something very normal to say considering how it startled my mother. So I eyed her curiously and asked, 'Did I say something wrong?' "Do not ever, I mean EVER make that offer ever again! Not to me. Not to your father and definitely not to a stranger!!" She said sternly, confusing me even further.'Why?'"It's not appropriate for a high ranked wolf like you to carry someone on your back. Specially an unmated girl like you, shouldn't make that offer. It's considered disrespectful to the wolf." And I ohed at that. "-If a female wolf carry someone on their back, that means the person they are carrying is their mate and if a male wolf carry someone on their back, it means that person is either his mate or his unmated sister. Not even parents are allowed to r
Eva's POV ."Enforce the shield and activate the barrier around the city. Evacuate everyone who is not on duty and others, take your position." My mother ordered the huntress, which she obligated without a second delay."What's a distress signal?" When she left us alone, I heard the little girl ask curiously as I got myself busy with a forced shift caused by Razna. Apparently, she needed some time to think properly without bothering about lending me her figure and strength for the time being. Thus, when my mother bent down to answer the little girl's question, I was already on my two feet, slightly panting and quite disoriented by Razna's little stunt."It is a signal, somewhat similar to a mind-link that can be distributed by an alpha. It doesn't require the presence of your wolf to release a distress call. You only need to handle your alpha pheromones right and it will notify whomever nearby. However, it isn't meant to be used on this scale." My mother explained softly.The little
3rd person's POV.It had been days, almost a week since the torture had begun and it had been the same amount of time since she last had a proper meal or at least enough water in her system. And she seemed to be hanging on a thread even with the help of her healing ability which her tortures allowed her to use; for what purpose, she didn't understand and didn't wish to know either. Right then, she was just wishing to die. Under Mafdet's command, they had used various different torture methods on her varying from whipping to beating and breaking bones to using water tortures. And they even forced her to shift without the help of her wolf multiple times, knowing fully well that it would cause her extreme pain and possible long-term disabilities if not done under relatively nice circumstances; which aren't quite achievable with the current situation she is in. And it didn't even end there!They even dared to rape her until she would pass out from exhaustion or blood loss or due to both
Chaos's POV."NO! It can't be!!" I yelled at Eva's mother, not wanting to believe her words.My Eva wouldn't do such a thing. My Eva wouldn't willingly fall into their clutches for the people she barely knows and even for us...she wouldn't do so. She wouldn't-'She definitely would, boy... She is an alpha. What did you expect from an alpha as powerful as her?' My wolf Eros, cut off my trail of thoughts ruthlessly, not at all minding the unstable state of my mind. That successfully led me crumbling down to the floor in fear and despair.If anyone outside saw me- the most powerful alpha of the world right now like this, broken and unstable like a leaf caught in the wind, they would think that their very own eyes are playing tricks on them. No one would believe it if one said that the most feared alpha would crumble down like this for someone, not even for my own mate. That's what my reputation made me to be. But right now, I didn't give a damn about that fucked up reputation. I only n
3rd Person's POV."No. You are not going anywhere!" Khonshu stated in a firmly tone, looking directly into Chaos's confusion-filled eyes.One second, he was running off in his wolf form into the unknown, following the tug of his mate's distress call and the next second... he was back inside the living room, in his human form, tied to a chair in front of three frowning gods.Chaos didn't understand anything at all!"Let me go!" He demanded, struggling against the bonds. But neither the bonds or the gods budge at all."To get yourself killed?!" Hecate raised an eyebrow at him, "No way!""I need to get to my mate!""Oh? So...you think we don't?" Khonshu scoffed."Alpha Nightwalker... We need to find Eva as much as you do. So, I suggest you cooperate with us to come up with a plan, rather than blindly running off to somewhere unknown." Selene spoke reason, but Chaos's wolf_Eros wasn't in a mood to listen. So he pushed past Chaos's consciousness and snarled at the goddess, a clear warning
...NineTenEleven Thirteen...Or is it twelve? Or maybe fourteen?I can't remember anymore… Everything is a blur and all I could feel is the stinging pain of my skin tearing apart.Twenty lashes!!That's the punishment I got for taking a small slice of bread from the leftovers of the dinner before the omegas were done eating.It's unfair and cruel... But that's how my life goes on.Every lash and every hit I would receive is a part of my life now. I had to endure it till I'm able to run away.And everytime that silver whip landed on my bare back, I wriggled against the restraints but somehow managed to stop myself from screaming.I knew very well that it's what they expected too. But if I make any kind of noise, I would be (almost) dead meat. It also added to the fact that I'm being immune to silver and my self-healing ability being as good as a celestial. So they barely paid attention to the harm they would cause as long as I kept breathing. But the pain their tortures brought wa
