Chapter 144 – Pancakes and Bombshells

last update Last Updated: 2025-06-09 15:22:02

Eva’s POV

As Sonia leaves the house, the front door clicking shut behind her, Samantha turns to me with a look that’s equal parts stern and motherly.

“Let’s go make breakfast,” she says, already walking toward the kitchen. “And while we make it, I want to hear everything you’ve done for the last fifteen years. Everything. I want to know if you were safe… if you were happy.”

So, we enter the kitchen, warm morning light slanting across the tiled floor, and I find myself rolling up the sleeves of a borrowed sweatshirt. The air smells faintly of cinnamon and old coffee grounds, grounding me in a kind of mundane comfort I rarely get to feel.

We decide on pancakes. Or rather—Samantha decides, and I follow orders. She bosses me around with the confidence of someone who raised twins and could probably run a small army.

“Don’t overmix,” she warns as I stir the batter. “And let the pan heat before you pour it—what were they teaching you in that assassin life of yours?”

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 146 - The Weight of Truth

    Eva’s point of view Surprisingly, not even twenty minutes after our arrival at the Pack House, a guard steps into the room, his posture tense as he announces, “Carl has arrived.” My heart skips. That was fast. I barely have time to breathe before heavy footsteps echo down the hall, and then— He’s here. As Carl steps into the room, he freezes mid-step like someone has pressed pause on him. His face goes pale, eyes locked on me, wide and confused, like I’m a ghost standing where I shouldn’t be. “Hi, Dad,” I say, smiling like we’re just meeting for coffee. Alpha Dimitri, standing by the window, goes utterly still. We didn’t even get a chance to tell him the lie we had prepared. And honestly? I’m glad. I don’t feel like hiding anymore. Not from them. Carl doesn’t move at first, then suddenly, like something inside him snaps loose, he strides forward and pulls me into his arms. The hug is hesitant at first, as if he’s afraid I might break apart in his arms. Then it changes. It’s ti

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 145 – Royal Escort

    Eva’s POV “Shhhhhh!” Sonia hisses beside me, grabbing my sleeve like an overeager child. “They’ll hear you.” Behind me, I can feel Elias’s eyes drilling holes into the back of my skull. That boy definitely took after me—glare first, questions later. The front door creaks open, and Samantha greets the visitor with a soft bow, her posture suddenly formal. “Alpha,” she says, “welcome to my humble home. Please come in.” A tall man steps inside, sharp-suited and sharp-eyed. He scans the room quickly, then zeroes in on me. I straighten instinctively. He walks right up to me—and to my surprise, bows. Deeply. “My Queen,” he says with a voice like gravel smoothed by diplomacy. “I am Alpha Dimitri. Had I known you were coming, we would have prepared properly. I must apologize for not greeting you in accordance with your rank.” I lift my hand and gently place it on his shoulder. “Please. We’re actually on a mission. But I must ask—how do you know who I am?” He straightens and gives a kn

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 143: Teen Wolves and Terrible Timing

    Sonia’s point of view I watch Eva trembling in her mother’s arms, and for once in my life, I don’t feel the need to crack a joke or roll my eyes. I never thought I’d see this day—Eva, of all people, crying into the shoulder of the woman who gave birth to her. And no, I don’t envy her. Not even a little. She looks like someone dropped her into a blender full of emotions and forgot to put the lid on. But she’s Eva. She’ll manage. And if she can’t, well… that’s why she has me. My attention drifts to the boy—the brother. Elias. Angry little storm cloud in a teenager’s body. I get it, kind of. His long-lost sister shows up after fifteen years, looking like she just walked out of an undercover mission and expecting a family reunion. Not exactly subtle. He storms outside like it’s a soap opera and he just got written out of the will. Eva hesitates, torn between going after him and staying with her mother. Her knuckles are white at her sides. I step in. “I need to get something fr

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 142: A Familiar Stranger

    Eva’s point of view Samantha doesn’t rush. She doesn’t blink. She just walks toward me, one trembling step at a time, as if she’s afraid I’ll vanish if she moves too fast. Her eyes never leave mine. Her breath catches. Her hands, clenched at her sides, slowly rise as if remembering how to touch. Her gaze drops to my neck. The necklace. Her fingers hesitate in the air between us, as though the metal might burn her. It’s the same necklace—the one with the Artemis pendant—that she gave her daughter fifteen years ago. The only gift she was allowed to give me before they took me away. Her hand finally settles on my face. It’s warm, and shaking, and heartbreakingly soft. She traces my cheekbone like she’s trying to memorize it. Trying to believe it’s real. “I thought I’d forgotten your face,” she whispers. “But I didn’t. Goddess, I didn’t.” I don’t know how to respond. My throat feels tight. My eyes sting. And then her arms are around me, and mine are around her, and I feel so

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 141: A Face from the Past

    Eva’s point of view The other guard steps closer and leans down to my window, sniffing the air like he’s trying to place something familiar. “Are you lost?” he asks kindly. His voice holds no malice—just calm curiosity. Just as I remember. This is a pack of peace. “Actually,” I say, offering him a small smile, “we come at the King’s orders. We have business with the Grimson family.” At the mention of that name, his expression tightens. “Haven’t they suffered enough?” he asks, his tone sharper now, protective. “I assure you,” I reply evenly, still smiling, “we mean no harm to them.” He studies me carefully, his brows drawing together as he tilts his head. “That’s strange,” he mutters. “You look like a copy of—” He trails off, eyes narrowing. “But you’re human… traveling with a werewolf… at the King’s orders…” His voice fades again as something shifts behind his eyes. He goes still, probably mind-linking his alpha. A tense silence stretches out between us. I don’t move. Final
