Austin Belmont’s pov When I told my wife Valerie that I wanted a divorce, she freaked out. Cursing at me vehemently, she rushed off to inform her dad, telling me NO. The next logical thing for me to do was to get the Moon Council involved, so I searched on my cell phone for the number and called directly to file for the annulment. What I hadn't expected was for two Council representatives to be knocking on my father's front door a few moments later. One was named Cedric Phillips, and the other one was a hybrid with red eyes named Gideon. No surname was given to me by the huge, frightening-looking guy. They both stared at me oddly and then asked who my mother was. Hesitating, I exhaled and said, “My birth mother was Elvina Howlember, but she was punished by the council for what she was because my father betrayed her.” “I see, so your father was aware of your true mother being a special wolf? Interesting. Elvina is your mother, I can see the resemblance,” Gideon stated,
Eva Gibson’s pov The pain was excruciating as if an inferno was consuming me from the inside. “More than silver,” I gasped out. “Do you think Alaric laced his bullets with wolfsbane?” Jace questioned Sirius, who was speeding to the pack infirmary. “If he did, it's a death sentence from the council. He's also in hot water for using a gun with silver,” he answered in an irritated growl. “I will contact the Council, and I want you to inform the pack guards to get Alaric and his daughter and hold them both for questioning,” Sirius asserted. Pulling before the infirmary, Sirius mumbled sternly that he was going to fetch an orderly while Jace opened the back door of his truck. Leaning precariously on the door, I began to tumble out, but he caught me. “Will…they help me? I am banished,” I stammered. “Don't worry, Austin and I will cover the cost,” he asserted as he lifted me from the back. My blood had covered his backseat, I noticed, and groaned a pathetic sorry. A whe
Eva Gibson’s pov Waiting for the timer on my oven-baked chicken, I stood at the kitchen sink looking out the window at the barn. “Why do I keep feeling worried?” I murmured as I washed the dishes. “Because Austin is feeling that sweetie. Since you're both mated now, you can sense each other's emotions. Nero and I can also communicate with one another,” Lana explained to me. “Then tell me why he is worried, wolf.” Huffing, she responded, “I can't reach his wolf to ask him from here.” Furrowing my brow, I turned to the front door opening, and Jace entered along with the head of the guards, Sirius. Sniffing the air, Jace grinned slightly and told me it smelled good as he eyed me oddly and hurried to stand before me. “Was Austin here?” Nodding nervously, I told him that Austin supervised my work. Watching him reach up to my hair, he pulled out a few strands of hay and grinned slightly. “You mated in my barn,” he stated as fact, and I nodded slowly. Turning to Siriu
Eva Gibson’s pov “Are you certain?” Austin asked me again with his fly spread open. “Yes,” I mumbled unconvincingly, but I knew my need was shining in my lust-filled eyes. The back of my fingers brushed against his length straining within his underwear. “Take off your pants while I remove mine, please,” he said huskily. Nodding nervously, I shimmied off my pants and underwear, lying bare on the hay. It was poking me in inconvenient areas, so I brushed off my butt trying to distract myself from staring at him, removing all his clothes. I unclasped my bra next and leaned back to look at Austin. Admiring his form, my eyes traveled over every long inch of him, and then I ended my exploration of his body and landed on his sexy face. His eyes were glowing down at me while he held his erection in his hand. “Hope you got an eyeful,” he grinned mischievously, and I smiled coyly. Swallowing my nerves, I opened my arms, inviting him to come to me. “Relax, Eva, I am not going
Eva Gibson’s pov Waking to the sound of rooster's crowing, I sat up in the bed and rubbed my eyes. Uncertain about my new life predicament, I knew I needed clothes and looked down at my wrinkled clothing. I had removed the night before to sleep in my bra in panties. Getting dressed in my dirty clothes, I smelled coffee and needed a cup. As I stepped down the stairs, I heard voices conversing, and it sounded like my sister. Quickening my steps, I entered the kitchen to see Olivia turn to me and smile happily as she rose up to greet me. Carrying a sack, she handed it to me and said, “I heard you needed these,” she said softly, and I noticed that the sack was full of clothes. My eyes welled with tears as I nodded and said, “I was banished from the pack.” Nodding, she rubbed my upper arm and told me that she spoke to Austin last night and he explained everything that was going on. She then dug into the sack and pulled out a new cell phone. “I got you a new phone; well,
Austin Belmont's pov I didn't want to leave Eva, and Nero was howling in my brain, not wanting that harlot Valerie McKnight. “I don't want that bitch either, wolf,” I growled sourly as I drove into my father's pack lands and turned toward the guard's area. Driving past Eva’s old house, I could see that a guard family was already moving in. I nodded my head at the guard trainee, who waved at me. I believed that it was Mason and slowed my truck as he ran toward the driver's side. I rolled down my window to see what he wanted. “Why did Eva get banished, Austin?” Narrowing my eyes, I asked him why it mattered. Giving me a raised brow, he growled, “Because she is a nice person and didn't do anything wrong to deserve that!” Perplexed by his emotions, I nodded and said, “She's not gone completely and will still be in training, just not here at the center. Did you know your family is moving into her old house?” I sighed, and Mason glanced back at the house and made a surprised gasp.
Eva Gibson's pov Once we reached the end of the entire trail and arrived back at where we had started, Jace's cell phone started to ring, and he quickly answered it. Looking at me, he smiled and said, “Don't worry about Eva, she will be staying at my place. Sorry about your situation…yeah, she's going to keep training. Do you want to talk to her? Oh, oh, okay. Yeah, I can do that. Sure, come on by. Okay, bye.” Pinching his lips together, he shook his head slowly and looked at me regretfully. Waiting for him to say something, I glared at him. “Let's go to my house and talk,” he said nonchalantly, and I furrowed my brow at him. “Talk to me now!” I demanded sternly. “In my truck, I don't want to be overheard,” he hissed. Hurrying quickly to the passenger side of his truck, I climbed inside and waited for Jace to get in. Once he got in, I glared at him in anticipation. Sighing deeply, he glanced over at me and said, “Austin is wed, and you're getting banished from the
Eva Gibson's pov “I'm not going to mate with you yet, Eva. If I do, I will never let you out of my sight and be glued to your ass like a wart,” he said with a grin. A bit disappointed, I nodded and told him that I understood. “I'm not ready for that and certainly don't want to get pregnant yet. Not with everything that has been happening,” I mumbled softly, and he grinned. “We could use protection to ensure that you don't have a pup,” he said firmly, and I swallowed uncomfortably and gave him an awkward smile. “Are you okay with what happened to Curtis?” He questioned me cautiously, and I looked at him and nodded. “I would have done the same thing if I had my knife, but it would have been a gut wound and not decapitation,” I responded, getting grossed out by the memory. Stepping around the counter, he pulled me into his arms and held me. My wolf started chuckling in my head and said, “He is going to wait until you get your heat and then mate with you. Just so you're aware. You
Eva Gibson's pov “I informed Jace about Curtis, and he is going to let Sirius know and inform Curtis's family,” he said firmly as he went to get himself a beer. “Hey, how did you learn about your curse?” He glanced at me as he tipped the bottle back and swallowed uncomfortably. “I grew ill after my rendezvous with the witch I told you about. My father's druid wolf came to treat me and said I had been cursed. I guess I assumed it was from the witch I had refused,” he said with hesitation. Surprised by the Alpha having a druid wolf since most druids were banned by the Moon Council due to their mystical qualities, I pinched my mouth. “Druid wolves are banned, Austin. How does your dad have one staying at his home?” Growing uncomfortable, his eyes darted away from me as he sat down on the couch and exhaled. Peering over at me, he sighed and said, “Can I trust you, Eva? I mean with something that absolutely no one can know?” Shrugging, I nodded, and he eyed me sternly. “Luna isn'
