“Wow.” They both said at the same time looking at each other.
“You are looking gorgeous.” Lizzy complemented.
“Say that when you look in the mirror.” Eve gushed, grinning at Lizzy.
They both started laughing. The door opened and in came Daniel and Liam. As soon as they saw their mates, their mouths fell open in admiration. Lizzy and Eve smirked at them but they too were eyeing their mates.
“The ball is starting.” Liam said clearing his throat, his eyes not leaving Lizzy at all.
“Shit I didn’t get Aby’s ready.” Eve said with wide shocked eyes.
“I will give her a quick bath. Get her clothes out.” Daniel said removing his suit jacket, smirking at his mate’s expressions.
Lizzy and Liam were busy laughing at their expense. Daniel woke Aby up and gave her a bath. Eve put her in her purple long dress which puffed out from the waist. Lizzy combed Aby’s hair and put a hairband with stones in her hair, her golden locks following down her
“I am sorry. I really am. Please forgive me.” Damien said stepping closer to Eve. Daniel growled in warning at him but Damien ignored him. He wanted his mate back at any cost, even if he had to kill anyone. She belonged to him. “I wasn’t thinking what I was doing at that time. I was foolish to treat you like that. Please come back to me. I missed you so much baby. I searched for you all these years. Your place is with me, by my side and ruling my pack with me. Come back with me.” At this point Damien was standing right in front of Evelyn. She kept looking at him with deep loathing clearly evident on her face. She couldn’t believe the audacity of the person standing in front of her. “I hate you. I am never coming back with you or to you. So stay away from me.” Eve said with all the hate she could muster. Daniel, Lizzy and Liam moved closer to Eve in a protective stance. None of them trusted the Alpha standing in front of them. “Alpha Damien” The
‘It should be me standing beside Evelyn and with our pups not that mutt’s.’ Damien thought. “Isn’t she adorable?” Caiden’s mate squealed looking at the pup in Daniel’s arms. “Can I hold her please?” She asked a bit reluctantly. “I am Cindy by the way. Caiden’s mate.” “Yeah sure.” Daniel replied smiling. He passed Aby to Cindy and she cooed to Aby making the little one giggle. Caiden smiled looking at his mate playing with the pup. He always wanted pups but didn’t had the luck so far of having one. “She is adorable.” Damien said through gritted teeth. This shocked everyone. He was smiling looking at Aby but on the inside he was seething with anger. ‘He is trying to change.’ Evelyn thought. The thought from earlier troubled Eve again. “Daniel I want to discuss something with you.” Eve said to Daniel “In private.” She added. Damien didn’t like it one bit that his mate and his brother were acting all couple together
“I am a father?” He asked trying to absorb the fact. “Biologically yes.” Daniel snipped. “What do you mean by that?” Damien asked confused, annoyed for the most part. “Well Daniel is their father obviously. I mean his name is on their birth certificates and it will stay that way.” Eve said firmly. “We just wanted to tell you this in case the kids want to know about their biological father so you won’t get a shocker in case they dropped on our doorstep unexpected.” “WHAT?” Damien shouted in disbelief. “You will be keeping my pup from me?” Damien thought that his mate will come back to him willingly but that didn’t seem to be the case. She was more or less trying to get him out of the way. ‘Well that won’t be happening darling.’ Damien thought smugly. “It’s not what you think. It’s just that I don’t want any complications in our lives. Besides I don't think you are in any position to claim them as your pups. We just wanted to let
Damien threw a punch at Daniel who went skidding down the hall and hit his head on the wall with the sudden impact. Daniel had blood gushing out of his head making him uncoordinated and unable to stand from the injury. Damien smirked at Evelyn who was looking at him with wide fearful eyes. He loved the fear in her eyes. He always wanted his mate tamed and well behaved, under his paws. “You are mine baby.” Damien said with a mad glint in his eyes. “I won’t let anyone come between us ever.” Abigail growled at Damien who growled back at her making her whimper but the little pup didn’t back down. She wanted to protect her parents. Evelyn stepped back to protect her daughter from the monster who once tormented her. She regretted giving him a second chance. Because of that her husband was lying injured on the ground. “I will tame you too pup once the mutt is out of the way. You will think twice before disrespecting your father and Alpha.” Damien said lookin
Lizzy was also being treated for her injuries but she was refusing to stay in the bed while her brother was struggling for his life. As a last resort, the nurse gave her a sedative and Lizzy slumped into darkness. After six long hour of surgery, the doctor came out and told the anxious group waiting outside about the condition of Daniel. “He had lost a lot of blood. His ribs were also broken on the right side by the attack. Fortunately, his vital organs were not harmed. He will be sleeping through a couple hours. That will ensure the proper healing of his body. To sum it up, he is out of danger.” The doctor explained. Liam let out a breath he didn’t knew he was holding. The king and queen were also relieved to hear the good news. “We will have to notify your family as you will be staying here more a few more days.” The queen told Liam. “Yes your highness.” Liam replied baffled about what to tell the children and Adrian. “Don’t worry. W
In the evening, the doctor allowed Daniel to move to the guest room they were staying at before. Daniel was still on bed rest and Abigail was up and about her usual self. As Abigail had already shifted, her healing processor was faster making her heal quickly. Evelyn was tending to Daniel with everything she had got. Despite Daniel telling her that it wasn’t her fault, she still felt like if it wasn’t for her stupidity, her husband and daughter would not have been in this condition at all. Daniel noticed his mate’s odd behavior but couldn’t understand what to do to make her believe that she wasn’t at fault in any way. The king and queen were waiting impatiently for the remaining Addario children to arrive. They were hopeful that their children will find their mates. The royals always had it hard to find their mates. Most of the time they wouldn’t even have any. The king and queen themselves were not true mates. When the queen, Genevieve was eighteen,
Daniel felt helpless and desperate to heal his mate but he was at loss of what he should do to make it better for her. He had a huge urge to cry but he couldn’t. If Evelyn saw him crying, she would break down even more. “From what I can understand, she will try to bury her worries in front of us and keep up a happy front like she did all these years but we need to force her to open up so she won’t get closed off again. If she kept burying every hurt she felt, it can get really dangerous for her mental as well as physical health.” Lizzy explained rubbing her temple. “We will get through this Dan.” Liam assured his woeful Alpha. In the bathroom, Eve had finished bathing Aby who had already slept half way through getting cleaned up. Hearing Evelyn’s retreating footsteps, Lizzy, Liam and Daniel quickly wiped the unhappy and worried expressions. Eve wrapped Aby in a towel and carried her outside to get her dressed and put her to bed. She smiled at Liam and
Evelyn opened her eyes with a little difficulty but couldn’t see anything at all. Wherever she was, her surroundings were thick with darkness. ‘Why is it so dark in here? Did Danny forgot to turn on the night lamp? Weren’t we in the palace?’ she thought disgruntled from the sleep. ‘I should turn it on first. Aby will get scared if she woke up in the dark.’ Evelyn tried to get up but couldn’t. Her body felt unusually heavy like something was pushing her down. ‘Huh! What’s wrong with my body?’ she thought trying to move her hands to no avail. She tried to lift her arms with all her might but they won’t budge. She felt something cut into her wrists. Panic started to make its way in her body as she remembered being in the similar position in the past. She trashed but didn’t succeed in anything as she couldn’t move her body even a centimeter. She could feel the rope digging into her ankles too. She tried to scream but nothing left her mouth
