8EvelynSince Gabriel dropped the bomb about my pregnancy and threatened me, he hasn't returned. I've been left alone with my thoughts, still feeling the pain in my arm from the bullet. As for the life growing inside me, I'm torn between various scenarios. Should I have an abortion? Should I keep the baby? One thing is certain: I want nothing tying me to Lucian. He's a man who wants me dead and lacks empathy for others.The door swung open, snapping me out of my thoughts. It was Gabriel, holding a tray with a plate and a cup on top. I rolled my eyes, thinking he finally decided to switch with Hunter. Hunter had been the one bringing me food and medication. I didn't protest since I knew I needed to eat for my own well-being.I didn't say anything, just gave him a look before diverting my attention elsewhere. "Eat and take the medication," he said."You don't have to tell me," I retorted, turning towards him. Our eyes met. "You're being stubborn, aren't you?""No, I'm not. It's you who
9EvelynIt had been a whole week since the boxing incident with Gabriel, and my legs were still aching. I shouldn't have joined them in the first place. Gabriel purposefully knocked me down, taking advantage of my unfamiliarity with the oversized gloves. They both laughed hysterically, unable to contain their amusement. Meanwhile, I cursed at them with all my heart. However, that didn't deter me from trying. Every morning, I would sneak out, practice my punches on the carved wood, and teach myself self-defense since Gabriel and Hunter refused to teach me.Despite our playful rivalry, they still made sure I had enough to eat. I had to admit, Gabriel was an excellent cook. His meals were incredibly delicious. But I wasn't going to let him know that. Besides Gabriel and Hunter, there were a few other people living in the small village. I learned about this when I pestered Gabriel to fetch me some grapes. Eventually, I followed him and discovered that the village was named Daekin, after
EvelynOne year later“Lady Evelyn we have received news from the Saint pack, they are ready to invest in our proposal” Caleb, my right hand man ushered as he made his way inside my study room. “Good job Caleb. Have you heard from Mr. David?” “Yes Lady Evelyn. He’d give us his feedback by tomorrow” I nodded my head before dismissing Caleb. “Thank you Caleb. Inform the pack members to be at the meeting hall. I will be there shortly” he bowed down his head before making his way out. “What do you think about this Gabriel?” I said turning to him as he was seated on the chair facing me while we discussed about our next plan. In the span of one year, we have formed our pack and trained them to be strong. We have achieved a lot of things. With the help of Daekin village people and some other connections, we made the impossible possible. We have outgrown some of the packs that were there already. We are among the popular packs in not only the neighboring towns but also the cities. I won’t
LucianSometimes I wonder how time flies. It's easier for the sun to set and disappear behind the sky, and the days seem to pass by in a blur. I won't say much, but I've taken advantage of the days and time to become stronger. Now, our pack, Mooncrest pack, is the strongest in the entire world. No one dares to mess with us, and I am the powerful Lycan king ruling over the werewolf realm on my own.My mother has tried countless times to get me to settle down with a Luna, a female werewolf, but I've always rejected her attempts. The first Luna she brought me couldn't satisfy me enough, so I kicked her out. The last one ended up causing trouble by trying to steal from my room and ended up disgraced. I made her join the maids who serve me. Since then, my mother has stopped trying, and I couldn't care less. I don't need a woman.My car came to a stop in front of my company. Curious about the kind of work I do? I am the CEO of the largest perfume company in the country, Lucian Inc. Although
EvelynGabriel's car came to a stop in front of the company. Today, we were doing rounds to check on the progress of the work. Last night, I received a call from Mr. David, who expressed his readiness to form an alliance with our pack. I was impressed by how quickly he responded. We had only sent him a proposal three days ago. I opened the car door and stepped out."You seem a bit distant," Gabriel remarked as we entered the building. The receptionist greeted us briefly."Just thinking about the call from Mr. David. It's surprising that he responded so quickly," I replied.Gabriel's lips formed a thin line. "There's no need to be surprised. He recognized the potential and sincerity of our pack, which is why we've come so far. We are truly blessed," he said. I nodded in agreement. It's true that if your heart is pure, you can see the benefits. If you choose to be a villain, your end won’t be good. Lucian is the true definition of a villain. There's no doubt about it.We started our tou
Lucian Preparations have been going on for the upcoming events. Ever since Harold informed me about the new pack on the rise—was it Daekin or what. The name sounds weird to me. Our pack anniversary is going to be a big event that has never happened before. Even when my father was alive, he hadn’t done an anniversary before. Although I would say it is not only for the anniversary but also for me to acquire more power from other packs. Packs like Daekin. I had already planned out my moves. Whoever wouldn't go by my books, I take charge forcefully. I pushed the door to my mother’s part open and was met with her seated in her large living room. Her own part was being decorated all in preparation. “Good day Mother” I greeted taking my seat.She dismissed the servant massaging her. “Lucian”“It seems you're getting well prepared for the event” I said. A smile found it's way out of her. “Ofcourse I have to. It's the first anniversary of the Mooncrest pack. I need to look my best”“You're r
EvelynWe arrived at Mooncrest for the anniversary event. Gabriel and I had rehearsed countless times on how to compose ourselves and not let our guard down. Despite all the practice, I still felt like it wasn't enough. Gabriel was the only one who could truly understand my inner struggles. Unfortunately, Mrs. Nora couldn't attend the event. It was just me, Gabriel, Hunter, and a few selected pack members. Of course, Mason's nanny was also present to take care of him. I couldn't bear the thought of leaving my son behind. I made it clear to the nanny that she should stay close and not wander off. I, along with Gabriel and Hunter, would keep a close eye on her. "Wow, we're finally stepping foot in the renowned Mooncrest pack," Hunter exclaimed, stretching his arms out.Indeed, it had been a whole year since I left the pack, but the memories of that incident remained vivid in my mind, as if it had happened just yesterday. I felt Gabriel's hand touch mine, intertwining our fingers. "Reme
Evelyn Guests had started leaving the hall as the event came to an end. We were also preparing to leave, but Hunter was nowhere to be found. "I wonder where he's gone off to," I said with irritation. Mason's nanny was already seated, holding a sleeping Mason in her arms."He'll have to face my anger if he's disappeared," Gabriel growled. As we stood there waiting for Hunter, someone approached us."Madam Evelyn, Alpha Lucian wishes to speak with you, if it's alright," the person said. Gabriel and I exchanged glances."Tell her she’ll be there," Gabriel answered on my behalf. The young man nodded and walked away. "What do you mean I'll be there? It's not part of our plan to meet him today," I protested."Whether it's today or another day, you'll eventually have to meet him. I think it's best for you to make your intentions clear from today. That way, he might reconsider whatever he's planning," Gabriel explained."Gabriel, I-""Don't worry. I know you'll handle it well. I'll head home
