"They are heading in our direction," Theo got busy to work the moment Mathilda and Evelyn left the campus, "do you want us to take her now?""Not in front of Mathilda," Raymond rubbed between his eyebrows, getting frustrated for the whole messy situation about Evelyn,"...SHE is the damn criminal that drugged ME! Why are you painting us like evil thugs or something?!"Being-yelled-at-for-no-reason Theo: "..."Since when did Alpha Raymond have a problem with appearing terrifying in front of other people??? Besides, how was he painting them as thugs??"It's not like Mathilda can't solve it on her own..." Raymond grunted to himself. Theo didn't know what to say to that, but Raymond wasn't expecting an answer either.He was okay with Evelyn defending Mathilda since his little sister didn't do anything wrong anyway, but it sounded like it would have turned into a fiasco if Evelyn didn't help when it involved the cops, especially when Mathilda really wanted to hide her connection with the Rei

v "Bold!" Raymond grunted, heavying heavily with messy breath as he glared at the man in front of him.The man looked like a tramp with a scar across his nose. With just a sniff Raymond realized -- the man was a rogue! Raymond has made enemies over the years, but none so bold to drug him in bright daylight, in HIS city!Now he not only owe Evelyn for Mathilda, but also for dragging her into danger?! This fact felt more upsetting than the fact that the man just drugged him."Oh my goodness!" Evelyn gasped at the scary wound on Raymond's arm as he protected her in his arms."It's alright, don't worry about it," Raymond glanced at her horrified face, and out of nowhere, he comforted her with the sole hope of wiping the worrying off her eyes."Wow! You can still talk?" The man let out a sniffish laugh, glancing around with an annoying smirk, "Got some fight in you, huh? I'm impressed... but not for long."A dozen men stood up one after another, all tall and bulky -- apparently this whole

"Morning," Evelyn mumbled, entering the kitchen, still rubbing her eyes like a sleepy kitten. She woke up in a huge, clean bedroom, but there was no indication of the owner. Maybe a guest room? It took Evelyn a few minutes to realize that she must be at Raymond's place. Though knowing Raymond wanted her to take responsibility for his drug incident, Evelyn just couldn't feel frightened waking up in the home of the man she loved-- The man who had been protecting her and indulging her as the little sister of his best friend for years before he forgot about her. She found her way to the kitchen with huge glass walls and view of the garden easily."Finally awake? You are up early," Raymond let out a light sneer with his eyes pasted on the newspaper, pretending he didn't check on Evelyn ten times through the night and knew perfectly well that she was about to wake up 10 minutes ago."Oh, my, God..." Murmured under her breath, Mathilda rose her head from her cereal, her jaw fell on the flo

"What do you mean she's gone? This is getting ridiculous, Theo!" Raymond frowned, standing in front of the French window of the top floor of his building and watching the sunset, which, just lost all appeal to him because of the phone call."She was tame for the whole day..." Theo whined with a long face, "I didn't know she would even try to escape..."Raymond closed his eyes in frustration. Why WOULD she leave? It wasn't like he was really going to hurt her or anything?!He should have known that naughty kitten was not one to take orders."I told you to keep an eye on her ALL the time!" Raymond gritted his teeth."I did! I was just talking to Mathilda for like two minutes--""And you didn't know Mathilda is crazy about her?? How could you have fallen for such a simple trick?" Raymond rolled his eyes, getting frustrated for no reason when he thought about Evelyn being out there alone.It wasn't like she was part of his pack or anything!"Focusing on the rogues for now," Raymond rubbed

Ava found Raymond in the garden, leaning against the stone arch with his hands in his pocket and his head low, his swan-like neck showing a pretty curve under the moon. Ava let out a longing sigh at the desire burning in her chest, and Raymond looked up instantly. "Miss Ava," Raymond said, walking toward her, graceful as a prince. Ava was lost staring at him, with a smitten face until he was towering over her. "Sorry I kept you waiting, Alpha..." Ava snapped out of it and lowered her eyelashes, her cheeks blushing. "It's no problem..." Raymond suddenly frowned lightly and tapped her chin up a little with those beautiful dark eyes gazing into hers, "...did you cry?" His voice was so gentle and soft that Evelyn's heart melted. "I'm fine," Ava murmured, putting on her timid act that would always get Sarah's affection, "thanks, Alpha." "What is it, you can tell me." Raymond softened his voice, but Ava just shook her head tamely. Raymond watched Ava carefully. He couldn't say she wa
