Zuriel’s P.O.V.It was fortunate that Henry agreed to marry Carla, the next step gave me a tough time.“My Carla is not a burden on me.”My aunt was persistent against this union, whereas Carla was crying profusely. The hospital was a battleground of emotions, I had to be extra careful.“Carla needs the care and love of a sincere partner. Henry is also your brother's son, just like me. He will stay loyal to Carla.”My feeble attempts to convince them went straight to the Hell, aunt refused my good will.“I cannot send my wolf-less daughter to a Pack full of snarling wolves. The killer of the Scott’s family is wondering freely, my Carla is defenseless against those hunters.”Although Carla was perfectly safe in my protection, my aunt's overcautious heart was supplying her with baseless threats. Eventually, Henry took charge of the conversation and knelt on the ground.“I have spent my entire life in the army of the Zellburry Pack, there wasn’t a single attack reported in twenty years.
Evelyn’s P.O.V.“Who are you?”I stuttered; my voice was barely above a whisper. The air turned frigid around me; an eerie silence hung in the room after Zuriel’s sudden assault.Was it an attack?No, his face had something fur like on it, his fingers also resembled an animal’s claw.Who was he? Was there someone else in the room with us?Zuriel turned and walked towards me slowly, I shrank back into my bed.“Stay away!”He took a deep breath and sat on the couch silently. A dread, slow and cruel, crept in my spine, making every second feel like an eternity. My arms were red because of his steel grip, a wave of pain ran through my body with the slightest touch.“Don’t be scared, Evelyn. I will never hurt you.”“Oh, really.”Like he didn't attack me a moment ago.“I know you have countless questions and trust me; I will answer each of them. But please clear your mind and listen to me carefully. This will change the ideology of your life.”“Get to the point.”I tried my best to sound fea
Evelyn’s P.O.V.That unending path to the entrance gate led me to the infinite darkness, I switched on the torchlight of my mobile and followed the road.“Screw you, Aaron. Why didn’t you take the straight road to the Castle?”Walking in circles numbed legs, my feet started aching badly. I picked up a stone from the ground and marked the trees, but none of them was repeated to prove my theory.“To the left!”Eventually, I found myself on the same crossroad from where Aaron instructed his driver.“I have done it.”Just five more minutes and I would be out of this dead canyon. The lights of the iron gates could be seen from afar, the hopes of the future fueled my enthusiasm. The guard on the side of the gate was sleeping on his chair, I stepped forward cautiously to search for the key in his pocket.“I forgot to tell you that the werewolves are possessive of their mates. Not to mention Alphas, who experience every emotion ten folds.Don’t touch him, I can’t guarantee that he will see to
Evelyn’s P.O.V.Walter offered to send his driver for me, but I refused his kindness. How was I supposed to explain my stay in this illegal Castle? More precisely, it would be wrong to reveal information about Zuriel’s private property to his business partner.Anyhow, I took a shower and called Maeve, informing her about my plan.“What do you mean by Walter is sending a driver? Bruce is coming pick me up for the party.”Maeve screamed hysterically; her secret affair caught me off guard.“You and Bruce? When did this happen?”After Bruce’s divorce, he was single. However, what did Maeve see in him, it was the main question.“Tell me Maeve, who’s more important? Me or Bruce?”My emotional black mailing got its desired results, she cancelled her arrangement with Bruce immediately. As stars were aligning in my favor, I ate lunch in the dining hall, Ivy was also happy at the end of my hunger strike.“Alpha was so worried about you. Max just reported him about your routine.”My eyes wandere
Evelyn’s P.O.V.I gaped as his thick fingers trailed from my arm to my bare leg and grabbed it before I could kick his balls.“You are feisty. I like it.”Zuriel blocked my legs with his long one and touched my neck with his free hand.“This is the place where I'll mark you.”The dreaminess in his voice hinted that this was something intimate. Zuriel's eyes clouded for a moment, a tinge of unease rose in my chest. He didn’t give me a chance to ask about it and dipped his head in the crook of my neck.“Hey, no.”My head spun with his sudden assault. This "no" was just a reflux; otherwise, the softness of his lips on my skin was playing with the strings of my heart. The way he kissed my neck was tempting, I literally melted in the heat of his desire. Still, I squirmed against his hold, there were some restraints a lady should use in such situations.My heart sank when he started sucking and nibbling in the same spot, the sharpness of his teeth made me gasp. The memory of my worse experi
Evelyn’s P.O.V.Waking up to the Heavenly Aroma of the coffee could be my fate, I had never imagined it in my wildest dreams. The scent of freshly grounded coffee invaded the nostrils, sending waves after waves of intoxication. I stretched my arms and yawned, this morning alarm was sweeter than anything else.“Good morning.”Zuriel was sitting on the bed beside me, the breakfast tray in his hands was perfuming the surroundings air.“Morning.”As my day was officially started by the kick of caffeine's scent, I brushed my teeth and joined him on the couch.“It’s a good idea that you asked servants to serve breakfast in the room. Walking with a hungry stomach is exhausting for me.”Zuriel placed another sandwich on my plate and smiled.“I didn’t consider that a human will live in this villa. I can give you a ride wherever you want to go.”The glint of naughtiness in his eyes said more than his words, so I changed the topic.“Ivy is such a great cook. She changed her recipe for my taste.”
Evelyn’s P.O.V.At lunch, Walter and Maeve were squabbling non stop, Bruce's face was an epitome of burning jealousy. I sighed at this melodrama and looked for Zuriel, who was attending a phone call not far away."What's so special about this client?"I felt an unfamiliar fire in my chest, spreading in my body. Then a realization hit me hard.I was also getting jealous over a phone call!Suddenly, Walter changed the flow of conversation, and asked me."What about a dinner tonight, Eve? Bex was also asking about you."Meave's alarm about Walter's intentions flashed across my mind. I was about to refuse politely when a gruff voice sounded beside me."Try somewhere else. This girl's taken!"Zuriel’s arm snaked around my waist; he pulled me closer.“This carnival is arranged for my girlfriend. Enjoy yourselves."Walter raised his brow, there was a momentary silence following it. Zuriel grabbed my arm and took me to another ride, but I was done with it.“Let’s go and visit Martha. She didn’
Evelyn’s P O.V.Next morning, Zuriel went to work without waking me up, my cellphone rang at 11:00 am to force me out of my peaceful sleep. As my mom came back home, so next thing I called my Eddie for details.“When will we live together, mom? I miss you.”My bunny’s innocent plea cut through my heart; this separation was heartrending for both of us.“Mommy is trying, my son. I will call you soon.”I pacified him with countless excuses and disconnected the call, tears ran down my eyes as I closed them. By placing a pillow on my face, I cried my heart out. Nature had blessed me with the most beautiful gift in the world, it was my inadequacy that I couldn't cherish it well.This failure alone was the proof that I was the unluckiest woman of the century. My crying episode ended by a knock on the door, Ivy was standing on the other side.“Are you up, Luna?”“Yes. Bring the breakfast.”I unlocked the door before going to the bathroom, so the table was set on my return.“You are looking go
