Evelyn"Gabriel, how do you see this? I don't understand this phrase. Does that mean if we fail to meet up to the standards, we'd be at a loss?" I said, passing the laptop to Gabriel. Alpha Drake had sent over the drafted contract to us. We were going through it to make sure everything was good before we signed it. Contracts are bound by terms and conditions. We can't rush into things just because we want to achieve our goals faster.Talking about goals, Lucian and I haven't interacted much. I haven't even seen him since the day I left his room. Maybe because I was busy with the deal. I leave the house early and come back around evening time. Erica is handling Mason quite well, so I don't have to worry about taking him around to and fro from Daekin pack to Mooncrest pack. It's safer for him to stay in one place."No, we won't be at a loss. Why do you have me? If I'm not here, I'm sure you'd be panicking just because of this single sentence," Gabriel answered. I didn't miss the wink he

Evelyn A yawn escaped from me as I sat up on the bed, feeling aches all over my body. My eyes immediately landed on Mason, who was sleeping peacefully beside me. I couldn't help but smile at his innocent face. "My cute troublemaker," I whispered, leaning forward to plant a gentle kiss on his cheek.As I leaned back, my smile faded as I recalled the events of last night. I hadn't forgotten a single detail, and I couldn't believe I had let my guard down with Lucian. I wasn't actually that drunk, just a bit tipsy. When he asked who I had been drinking with, I had mentioned Gabriel, knowing it would provoke a reaction from Lucian, maybe even make him jealous.Jealousy? Why did I want him to be jealous? I wanted him to care, to feel something for me, something strong enough to affect him. I couldn't deny that I had enjoyed the kiss, and part of me wanted more. We had kissed right outside his door, but it had been cut short when Mason started crying. I had left abruptly, without looking ba

Evelyn “Nice. I like the scent. And the blends are smooth,” Alpha Drake commended as we toured the coffee factory. His satisfaction signaled that we wouldn't have any problems with our deal.“Do you want to check other parts?” Gabriel asked.“I don’t think I need to check any more parts. I’m impressed by this. Let’s do this!” Gabriel and I exchanged looks and a smile spread across my face. Gabriel gave me a thumbs-up in return.“Thank you for your trust, Alpha Drake. While we are at it, why don’t I show you the perfumery plants?” Gabriel suggested.“Sure.”“I will head back first then.” I left Gabriel to take the lead and made my way back to the pack house. On the way, I decided to stop by Mrs. Nora’s house.“Hello,” I greeted with excitement as she opened the door.“Evelyn. You finally remember this old woman,” she said, inviting me inside. I hugged her tightly. “I didn’t forget you, Mrs. Nora. I was busy with work.”We settled on her sofa, and I plopped down. Mrs. Nora gave me a st

Evelyn "Erica, can you help me hook this necklace?" I got Erica's attention as she was getting Mason ready. I stood in front of the vanity mirror, all set for my dinner meeting with Gabriel.Wait... he didn’t say it was a date. Did he?“You’re looking gorgeous, Ma’am. As always,” Erica commented as she clasped the hook of my necklace. I ran my fingers over the small pearl. Gabriel gifted me the necklace three days after I gave birth to Mason. He said it wasn’t a gift, but I knew he was just shy to admit it. I was sure he'd be happy when he sees me wearing it tonight. I hadn't worn it since then.“Thank you, Erica,” I said after admiring myself for a moment. I knew I didn't look bad. I had chosen a dress that would complement my figure. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn't tight, but it had an open back and a one-inch slit in the front, making it slightly revealing—not too much, though. Gabriel isn’t a lustrous man unlike Lucian. You can’t deny that he made you feel good with his touches an

Evelyn Lucian caught me off guard. As soon as I felt his lips on mine, I wasted no time in reacting. I snaked one of my arms around his neck and pulled him closer, deepening the kiss while I used the other to clutch his shirt. I had a lot going on in my head at that moment; the dinner with Gabriel didn't turn out well, and we ended up in an argument. The reason for it was Lucian.However, here I am kissing him and allowing him to touch me. I needed something to take my mind away from the events. Maybe Lucian will be able to do that – he was doing it already. My body ignited with heat when Lucian's hands found their way to my waist. I felt the heat between my legs, making me part my lips. Lucian nibbled on my lower lip before pulling away slightly. We met each other's gaze. I saw the same need that had begun rising inside me in his eyes. They mirrored mine."Why did you come back late?" If only he knew how his voice alone sent every joint in my body into weakness. His voice had that e
