EVANGELINE A knock at the door stopped my crying session and looked up with teary eyes from the bed. My hair was a mess, the tips of my strands soaked with my tears, and the bed sheet was crumpled under my fingers. I wiped my eyes, staring at the door. I hoped it was Mia. I imagined opening the door and her wrapping her arms around me in a tight hug, apologizing to me for being rude to me for an unknown reason. I might throw some tantrums before I gave in. But my hopes shattered when I opened the door and found David standing in front of me. Could this day get any worse? My lips fell flat in a straight line and I asked in a stern tone, “Why are you here?” He was the last and the least expected person. I hadn’t forgotten how he insulted me in front of the rest but because of the heap of events crashing onto me, I didn’t have the time to confront him about it. At that point, I couldn’t care less. He opened his mouth to say something when his eyes trailed over my face for a few s

LUCIENHera coughed as she waved her hand to get the smoke away from her face, "Oh my, how are your nostrils surviving in this place? A demon might die here." She said and I smirked. "Well, won't that be a good riddance?" I said, "Get out. I don't want company neither am I interested to hear about any work details." Hera stepped out of the smoke and looked around, her eyes taking in the damage I did. There was no hint of surprise or shock on her face. She was used to my outbursts. "I don't remember the last time I saw you damage your goods this way." She looked at me and her smile slowly faded, turning into a frown. It was rare as Hera always kept her smile intact. "I was here to check on you. I heard what happened." "Of course you did. Nothing stays hidden for long here. I am sure even the Order of Hell would learn about my shenanigans with a girl this time." I smiled but the smile held an unshown pain in it. She tilted her head and stepped on the broken glass, her high heel cru

MIAEvangeline was shocked for a moment, her jaw hanging after I confessed what I had been trying to deny for so long. But after Markus asked Eva, I felt this pang of pain and jealousy hit my chest like a hammer. I couldn’t avoid the feeling and lashed out at my best friend for no good reason.It was a mistake I would repent for my entire life.“Um…when did you realize that he is your mate?” She asked after clearing her throat.“I knew when I first saw him. Snow started acting weird and horny, but I kept telling her to stay in place.” I sighed as I looked down at the floor, “I can’t believe that he had to be my mate out of all the people I met in my life. I thought someone else would be my mate.”She raised a brow, “Sean?”I nodded. I wished it was him, but my fate seemed to be a bitch.She shrugged, “I wished it was him too. You two would have looked great together. But now it all makes sense. You were annoyed at him from the very beginning because you kind of knew that he was your m

MIA"It's simple. If Lucien and Evangeline get together, they will fight against theOrder and we will be able to break rules that bind us and control who we can be with. Then it will be easy for me to mate with you." Markus explained and I thought about his explanation for a minute before nodding in agreement. "I get it. But isn't it going to be dangerous?" He shrugged, "Do you think Evangeline is safe?" I gasped, "What do you mean?" "The Order have their eyes on her. She holds immense power as she's the daughter of Asphalt and Alpha Dominic. Lucien has been trying to protect her for years, but I think she doesn't need protection. What she needs is her mate to be at her side and believe in her strength. Also, I know Lucien very well. He is going to go nuts if they both reject the mate bond. I can't let that happen." "So…you think your plan will work?" I asked with a hint of doubt in my voice and he smiled. "Honestly, I don't know. But if anything triggers our Demon King the mos

EVANGELINE"I'm sorry." Markus spoke out of the blue beside me while we traveled in the car. I looked at him with a confused look. He shrugged, "I kind of pushed you into this. I should have known that Lucien can be stubborn when he wants to be. I didn't expect him to bring Tehila as his guest of the night." Tehila. That was the slut's name who was clinging on to him like a wet, dirty chewing gum. I realized how territorial Mia had felt when Markus invited me to the event. I hadn't even known Tehila and I already wanted to scourge her eyes out for looking at him with lust. But he was not mine in the first place. Never was. And maybe never would be. The thought made a dense feeling settle on my chest. I exhaled and looked through the tinted window, "It's not your fault. I just can't do anything to make him feel for me. I tried but I can't force him to want me.""Oh, believe me, he wants you like crazy. I'm not saying this to assure you. I have known him for a long time and the thin
