Lahat ng Kabanata ng Fated To The Lycan Beast: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Twelve hours laterThe monitors beeped like a countdown as they lifted me into the ambulance. My body was giving up, no matter how much I wanted to fight it. Every sound hit like a ticking clock.Crystal gripped my hand. Her voice cut through the fog of pain. “Hold on, Eve. You’re going to make it.”I wanted to believe her, but pain stabbed through my chest. I wasn't just afraid; I was humiliated. I had been strong, feared, respected, and now I was nothing more than a body in a metal box, breathing because tubes said I could.Of all the people who could betray me, it had to be my own husband. The man I’d raised, honored, trusted so completely I never believed he’d turn into an ungrateful bastard. The one who destroyed me wasn’t an enemy at the gate; it was the man who used to kiss my scars. And as if that wasn’t enough, what was left of my body was being dragged on a stretcher, begging for help from the monster responsible for my parents’ deaths. The irony burned like poison. I tasted

Crystal wouldn’t stop talking or smiling like a lunatic.“By the goddess, thank fuck we came here,” she kept repeating. “If we hadn’t, you’d be fucking dead, Eve. I still can’t believe it, I don’t even wanna think about it.”Her manic relief made me smile. She looked lighter, almost glowing, despite the dark circles under her eyes. For her, it was a miracle. For me, it was a knife to the gut.“Tell me, Eve, how do you really feel?”“Better,” I said.She gave a small laugh, wiping her nose with the back of her hand. “Eve, this is… fucking unbelievable.”I tried to smile for her. But inside, the irony burned. If only she knew why. My body wasn’t healing; it was reacting to Axel’s power, to his touch, to that twisted bond fate had thought would be funny to shove on us. “Maybe I should thank that evil bastard,” Crystal muttered. “Not that I want to, but damn… he saved you. I hate that he even exists, but fine, a little ‘thank you’ before I ruin his life sounds fair.”Her hand found mine a

Eve My heart pounded in an uncoordinated rhythm that refused to settle, as if it were trying to escape the cage of my ribs. Each thump sent shockwaves through my body, all thanks to this murderer's intoxicating scent that stirred something raw within me.No matter how much I tried to ignore it, his scent curled around my senses. I heard a roaring in my ears and I had to clamp my teeth shut to stop myself from crying out.I couldn't explain how I hated someone, yet my wolf grew restless with need. It was a whirlwind of feelings bubbling inside me, threatening to explode. Feeling a desire for him was dishonorable to my parents, who died unjustly. It was shameful.Across the room, Shahar leaned against the counter, watching me. He was just the opposite of Axel, with a warm smile and confidence that seemed to reach right out to me. It felt real, open, and maybe even a little comforting.I might have felt proud or curious that a good-looking male was paying attention to me in another lif

Eve I hadn't been outside for more than a minute before irritation flared through me. The sun was relentless, glaring down as if punishing me. I was searching for Crystal, and when I finally found her hunched under a palm tree, furiously typing on her phone.Her head snapped up the moment she noticed me."What happened in there?" She narrowed her eyes. "Do I need to set that monster on fire?"Despite myself, I smiled. "It's not what he did. It's what he didn't do." I leaned against the rough bark, folding my arms as I exhaled sharply.Crystal waited."He makes it so hard," I muttered. "I want him, and at the same time, I hate him so much. It’s unnatural that he’s ignoring me. The way he looks at me—" I swallowed. "It makes me feel like I’m less than nothing."She sighed and reached out, brushing her fingers against my cheek. "He doesn’t deserve you, Eve. Mate bond or not, that pig has no right to make you feel like this.""It’s hard," I admitted, voice trembling. A humorless laugh bu

AxelThe simplicity of a full stomach quieted the storm in my mind. Shahar sat across from me, leaning back in his chair with a contented sigh, his hand lazily rubbing his belly. “You look like a dog who just found a hidden feast,” I quipped, and he cracked one eye open, grinning“What can I say? Eve is a great cook. Admit it, you enjoyed the food.”I let out a low chuckle but didn't reply. The calm didn't last long. It never did. A familiar dark voice in my head reminded me not to get comfortable. Nothing good lasts for people like me, a cursed, unfortunate soul.“You're brooding again,” Shahar said, breaking through my thoughts. “Am I?” I asked dryly.My gaze wandered toward the open corridor beyond the living room, where his fling walked by. Her transformation was undeniable.A self-assured woman replaced the frail, sickly figure I’d glimpsed days ago. She drew attention as quickly as the sun drew flowers. The sway of her hips commanded attention.She was just a woman, like the c
