Chapter 21: Mistress

Hagan's POVI could still feel eyes on me after the stunt I'd pulled. Rhaeya tried to soothe the atmosphere by proposing we danced.My mind played back the scenario. If she had really been Ever, what would I have done? I wondered. I was losing my mind lately with everything that had been going on. Having her with me was the only thing that kept me at bay, and seeing someone else touch her sent me into a craze I couldn't control.Rhaeya had been acting weirdly lately. We both knew what this was, an arrangement for the public. But for some reason, she began doing too much. Even if it was because of Zeke's presence, I still thought she needed to tone it down a bit.The music got louder as she strode around me, sliding her hand across my chest. Uncomfortable with her gesture, I pulled it away and rested it on her shoulders as cheers erupted around us.The crowd's cheers got louder, and I tried to keep my gaze on Rhaeya, but every now and then I found myself searching the crowd for her fac

Chapter 22: Ron's downfall

Hagan's POV“You seem restless, is anything the problem?” Rhaeya cooed from the bed. I shot up from the sofa I had been sitting on.Suddenly everything felt uncomfortable, including her presence.“I'm fine,” I told her, standing up as I headed toward the window.“You don't look fine to me,” she repeated again and this time, I lost it.“I said I'm fine and please don't ask again,” I shot at her and her expression turned sour.“Oh, I'm sorry for butting in. I didn't mean to…” she tried to apologize.I ran my hands through my hair, frustrated at myself. I had lost myself so much I was now venting my anger on her. And she didn't deserve it.“No, no, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have yelled that way,” I apologized. “I think I just need to get some sleep,” I said, going back to the couch as I rested my head reluctantly, trying to force my eyes shut.“Thank you,” I heard her let out.“What?” I asked, confused. “Why're you thanking me?”“For agreeing to do this with me,” she told me. “Even when you

Chapter 23: An awkward bath

Ever's POV:“You've been shaking since we left the hall,” Alpha Zeke let out. “Just so you know, I don't bite.” He winked. “At least not females.”I turned away, feeling uncomfortable.We walked the long hall till we got to the front of his chamber.What the hell are you doing, Ever? I came back to my senses. I had just followed this random Alpha all the way to his floor and was about to go into his chambers. Was that how much what happened had affected me?My mind trailed back to what happened at the party. Hagan had been there. He was there and he watched it all happen. In that dire moment when I needed help, my eyes had searched frantically for him and found Rhaeya in his arms on the dance floor.While I was almost stripped naked, he was dancing with his Luna. Was our bond this weakened for it to get to a point where he didn't even react anymore? That wasn't even the most painful part of the evening.My heart clenched as I saw him place his frock coat on Rhaeya and she couldn't sto

Chapter 24: An awkward bath II

Ever's POV“What?” I turned to see him staring weirdly.“My clothes. I need help with them. Help me get them off,” he repeated. I clenched my fists tightly and headed toward him.On reaching him, I helped him unbutton his shirt. I could still feel his gaze on me, and I shifted uncomfortably. Then he stopped staring, and I finished up with the buttons, helping him pull it off.I turned my back again.“You're not done yet,” he stated again. “My undergarment won't unstrap itself,” he said, and I almost choked.There was no way I was doing that. No freaking way.“Tell me, which do you think would be worse?” he cooed. “Unstrapping my undergarment or a night in the Harem, now when the males in your pack had probably drunk to their fill?” he asked.And after thinking about it, he was right. I was in a far better situation than I'd probably have been in if I had returned to the Harem. Did he bring me here on purpose? To save me from that? Now I was letting my imagination get the best of me. I

Chapter 25: Took you Long enough

Ever's POVI stood there for a while, unable to move as he got closer. Tension rose as he moved towards me and stopped behind me.I swallowed hard, my heart pounding intensely in my chest. What was he doing?“What... what are you doing?” I finally found the words to ask.“Well, we're here for something, aren't we?” He smiled, and my toes curled in panic.“I'm sorry, Alpha, you must be mistaken. I'm not that kind of Omega...” My words were instantly cut off when he pulled me against his bare chest, and my eyes widened. Bringing his lips close to my ear, he cooed,“I’m afraid I couldn't help myself. You're very beautiful.” He smiled, and something about his voice, the way he said it, struck me. My body stilled. I've heard this before. Could it be?“Zeke?” I found myself saying.“Took you long enough.” He smiled, and I shoved him hard, breaking away from his grip.“You psycho. You're an Alpha? You're Alpha Zeke? Silverstone's Alpha Zeke?” I tried to confirm. It felt like my memory was pl

Chapter 26: What really are we?

Ever's POV:My head went silent for a while as I stared at him, too stunned to form words.“I don't know what you're talking about,” I tried to outrightly deny it, but it backfired.“One minute he was all over you, the next he went as far as asking you to duck underwater,” he let out, and my breath caught.He saw us. He saw us getting intimate and even Roy interrupting, and Hagan asking me to duck. Did he also know about Hagan and Rhaeya? I pondered.“Why're you doing this?” I asked.“Doing what?” A puzzled look graced his face.“Telling me this,” I retorted.I said I didn't trust Zeke. Scratch that. Hell, I was scared for my life right now. He knew this much and still decided to play along. Who knew what other tricks he had up his sleeves? Not that I wanted to find out. Because I honestly didn't.“Watch with me?” He gestured for me to join him at the window.I raked him over with my eyes for a while, hesitating, but then I finally gave in and joined him.The silence stretched between

Chapter 27: Head Maiden

Ever's POV:The warm sensation of the sun's rays caressed my skin as I heard the shutter of a curtain. My eyes fluttered open and I stretched for a while. It felt like I'd been sleeping for a decade. This was the longest I'd ever slept without being in Hagan's arms.Maybe it was the soft bed I never often had the luxury of lying on. Or the spaciousness it had and how cozy the duvet was. My body didn't feel like getting up and neither did my eyes. I sank into the sheets, closing my eyes one more time.“I'm afraid it's morning, whore. Get up,” a familiar voice interrupted, standing by the curtains, and I looked up to see Mila. The reason Kia and I had been sent to the Harem in the first place.I shot up like someone hypnotized, advancing at her without thinking twice. She shot me a puzzled look and stepped back. I clenched my fists. Restraint, Ever. Restraint.“Seems your temper tantrums haven't taught you anything yet,” she said and I shot her a glare.“Anyways...” she said, glancing a

Chapter 28: Head Maiden II

Ever's POV:“Kia?...” I tried to reach out.“Nope. Not till after you've met Luna,” Mila stood in front of me.Kia gave me a reassuring look and I replied with a nod.Staring at Hagan's chamber doors, I felt a rush of emotions and none felt good. Each just felt worse than the last. Endless questions rose in my head. What if they're sleeping together to convince the Pack members that they're true mates? Would Hagan condone it? I didn't even know anymore. It felt like I'd always been in the dark but found a way to lie to myself that I wasn't. That I knew what I was doing. And one day, it would all be worth it. Unfortunately, even the littlest faith I had in him seemed to have disappeared completely.“Luna?” Mila gently called out.What if they really were entwined in bed? What would I do if I saw a barely dressed Rhaeya with her hands placed on Hagan's bare chest? My head painted a picture of the scene and my eyes shot open.Breathe, Ever, breathe. And if Hagan was inside, how exactly d

Chapter 29: Head Maiden III

Ever's POV What? Me? Did I hear her clearly or were my ears playing tricks on me. Kia's face beamed at the announcement as she held my hand smiling. “Ever, you're… you're Head” Kia shook me. I pinched myself to make sure I wasn't in a dream as my imagination had its own way of running wild. But the fresh sting of the scar I'd left confirmed how real everything was. I looked at Rhaeya, still smiling, her gaze hadn't left me since the announcement. “What, me Luna? I possibly can’t. I'm not fit” I tried to step down. Mila shot me daggers from where she sat, her arms folded as her gaze burned with Rage. “What, what're you doing” Kia tugged at me, murmuring. “Don't you dare reject this, Ever. Don't you dare” She warned, her voice firm. “Well…you'll have plenty of time to learn and with time, you'll get good at it”. Rhaeya replied to me. I stared at her for a while not knowing what to say or how to feel. My head went silent and I could barely process her words. I just stood

Chapter 30: And your enemies closer

Zeke's POV: “I told you to send him away to warrior camp. That imp is no son of mine,” Alpha Cole thundered across the throne room.Little Zeke hid behind the curtains, shaking as he eavesdropped, tears streaming down his face.“That boy is just a child, Cole. What would you have him do, head a warfront? If you want him dead, just say so!” Zeke's mother, Racheal Roland, thundered back.“You!” Zeke's father pointed at her, losing his calm. “You're the reason he's so weak and a good-for-nothing. You've spoiled him rotten with your unnecessary pampering,” he yelled. “I'd rather have him dead than a living disgrace to the Roland dynasty,” Alpha Cole spat. “He can't even defend himself, let alone a Pack. How can I die peacefully, knowing I'm leaving someone as incapable as him as successor?”Zeke's mother crossed the distance and struck his father hard. Cole held his cheek, staring daggers at his wife.“Hitting me doesn't change the fact that your son is a weakling whose ascension will doo
