Evan Peters In Freak Show

Freya Morgana is a survivor in a world overrun by supernatural creatures, constantly on the run from hunters and dangerous beings. After being taken in by the powerful alpha of the Crescent Pack, Raziel Dom, she falls in love with him and hopes to become his mate. However, when he chooses another werewolf, Fiona, Freya leaves in anger and sadness, and soon discovers she is pregnant with Raziel's child. With the help of Magnus Lexin, a warlock who protects her and her unborn children, Freya must navigate the dangerous world she lives in while being hunted by magicians and hunters who want her babies dead. But when she is reunited with her long-lost triplet brothers, Darian and Derien, who are hybrid twins feared by all, Freya must decide whether to seek revenge with them or to stay with Magnus or Raziel, who both want to protect her and her children. In this action-packed werewolf tale, Freya is caught up in a series of choices that could affect her life forever.

My roommate had a strange obsession with taking cold showers on the balcony. She claimed it helped detox her body and brightened her skin. I warned her, “You should be more mindful of your privacy.” However, she only laughed, accusing me of being jealous of her flawless figure. Then, disaster struck. Her shower photos were leaked online, and soon after, thugs showed up at our door, demanding to humiliate her. Instead of taking responsibility, she turned on me. “It’s her! She’s the shameless one showering on the balcony!” Betrayed and defenseless, I was dragged into the woods and left to die, my life snuffed out in humiliation and pain. But when I opened my eyes again, I was back on that fateful day—the day my roommate took her first cold shower on the balcony.

My best friend Sophie and I went into labor the very same night. I watched her switch out the two infants with my own eyes, but I did not tell a single soul. For the next decade, I fed, clothed, and raised a daughter that was not mine. On the day the two girls turned eighteen, they received their college offer letters at the same time. One got into an ivy league school, and the other, a community college whose name I had not even heard of. I had never seen Sophie so happy in my entire life. Grinning from ear to ear, she whipped out the DNA report she had been saving for this very moment. "Thank you for raising my daughter to be the valedictorian that she is today. It's time she returns to her mama. As for this good-for-nothing scum… You can take her back!" I sneered. "Very well then." She had no idea what was coming.

I go to the boutique my son has invested in to pick up the gown I've ordered for a banquet. Just as I'm about to leave, the manager, Wendy Reed, stops me and says that I still owe them money. She pulls out the bill. I look down at it and see that the boutique is charging me 300 thousand dollars for their creativity, 500 thousand dollars for fabric therapy, and one million dollars for their chief designer's mental wellness. On top of other expenses, the price totals up to two million dollars. I laugh incredulously and send a message to my secretary. "Withdraw our funding from my son's company and this boutique!"

I, Taylor Laurent, go to the hospital's emergency department because of severe abdominal pain. When I wake up, my mom, Jocelyn Nord, stares at me in terror and asks, "You are not my daughter. Who are you?" Helpless and regretful, Hank Gibson, the doctor, says to my mom, "She is your daughter, it's just… an accident." My mom can't accept it and jumps off the hospital building, killing herself instantly. Hank is suspended because of this incident and, under my questioning, chooses to kill himself by hitting a wall. When I finally find my life partner and take the premarital medical exam, the staff tells me something that chills me to my bones.

I'm dressed in flip-flops and shorts when making an inspection of the five-star hotel my husband just acquired. When the front office manager spots me, she immediately calls for security with a disgusted look on her face. "The hotel's WiFi isn't meant for people like you to use. Hurry up and pay me 200 thousand dollars in Internet costs, then get lost!" I calmly tell her that I'm the owner of the hotel, but that only makes her sneer. "The owner of the hotel? Hey, old hag, you're putting on an act in front of the real deal! This hotel was a birthday gift from my husband to me. Aren't you fantasizing a bit too much?" Oh? Since when did Ian Lambert get another wife behind my back?

My name is Ivy Lawson. At 3:00 am, I get a call from Christina McSpire, a parent of one of my students. "Hello, Ms. Lawson, I noticed Zoe only spent five dollars on her meal yesterday. Did she not eat any meat?" she asks. Pushing through my exhaustion, I reply, "Don't worry, Mrs. Street. I'll check on it tomorrow." Another half hour goes by, and she calls again. "It's supposed to rain tomorrow. Can you remind Zoe to bring an umbrella?" I can hardly keep my eyes open. "Got it," I reply absentmindedly. A few minutes later, my phone rings once more. "Please make sure Zoe brushes her teeth for three minutes. It's also important that she scrubs each side of her face at least three times." Suppressing my frustration, I calmly respond, "Zoe is in her senior year of high school. I'm sure she's capable of taking care of herself." I expect that to be the end of it, but when I wake up, my silenced phone shows over a hundred missed calls.

Our expedition team ventured into a desert wilderness to investigate rare mineral resources when we were suddenly struck by extreme heat that reached 158 °F. I nearly passed out from dehydration and quickly reached into my backpack for the electrolyte water I had prepared in advance. Just as I was about to drink it, I realized the bottle was half-filled with urine. When I turned around, I saw Ben Murphy, my wife’s childhood friend, gulping down my electrolyte water. As I was about to confront him, Amy Garner, my wife, grabbed my sleeve and said, “Don’t be mad. I gave Ben your electrolyte water. He’s almost dehydrated. You can make do with this for now.” My vision started to blur. Clutching the half-empty bottle of urine, I asked through gritted teeth, “I’m dehydrated. Instead of letting me rehydrate properly, you want me to drink this? Are you trying to kill me?” Amy was upset. “Don’t be ridiculous! Ben doesn’t work out daily like you do. He can’t handle this heat. Wasn’t it right to give him the electrolyte water? Besides, urine can hydrate you, too! Don’t be picky at a time like this.” Seeing how unreasonable she was being, I sent a distress signal with my location just before losing consciousness. [Severely dehydrated, near death. Expedition mission suspended. Request immediate rescue. Also reporting a robber in the team. Notify the police immediately.]

His fingers slid into my hair, tugging just enough to tilt my head back and expose my throat to him. “We shouldn’t be doing this, Mr. Turner,” I breathed, my voice breaking on a gasp as he found a sensitive spot just beneath my ear and sucked lightly. His growl was low and primal, vibrating through my skin as he pressed his body against mine. I felt every hard line of him, his heat bleeding through my clothes. “Why not?” he murmured, his voice rough with restrained need. I swallowed hard. “You’re… you’re my ex-fiancé’s father.” He paused. For a moment, everything stilled… his breath against my throat, the air between us, even the rain outside seemed to hesitate. Then he lifted his head, and our eyes locked. His were a stormy blue, intense and unwavering. “No one has to know, Catherine,” he said quietly, his voice was like a dark promise wrapped in silk. Then he leaned in with his lips brushing the shell of my ear. “I can be your dirty secret.” A shiver ripped down my spine. His words settled deep in my gut, awakening something dangerous. I bit my lip. Every cell in my body screamed for me to walk away but I didn’t. Instead, I gripped the front of his shirt, pulled him down, and kissed him hard. Desperately. He rumbled low in his chest, kissing me back with equal hunger, his hands roaming my body like he already knew every curve. When he finally broke the kiss, I was breathless. Then he dropped to his knees between my legs, with his eyes darker now. “I’m going to show you the world,” he said. “If you’d let me.”

"Mohon maaf, Pak. Apa bapak sudah menikah?" tanya salah seorang guru perempuan. Aira yang mendengar pertanyaan tersebut langsung menunduk dan tersenyum. "Belum," jawab Evan santai. Jleb! Hati Aira terasanyeri seketika, tiba-tiba saja matanya mengandung air dan tangannya mengepal kuat, napasnya mulai tidak teratur, tidak ingin memperkeruh suasana, Aira berniat untuk keluar dari ruangan rapat. Disisi lain, Evan yang melihat Aira keluar hanya bisa diam. Sampai rapat selesai Evan tampak tidak fokus, dan hampir semua pertanyaan Tio yang menjawab dan Farra, ia tidak sadar kalo Aira tidak balik lagi. Setelah rapat selesai, Evan langsung keluar. *** Evan berjalan mendekati Aira, tapi sebelum masuk Evan menutup pintu kelas. Aira yang melihat Evan datang langsung berdiri. "Ngapain?" tanya Aira datar. "Lu marah?" Evan balik bertanya membuat Aira memicingkan matanya. "Nggak ada yang perlu dimarahin," lanjut Aira lalu ia melangkah ingin keluar dari kelas. Tanpa mambuang waktu Evan langsung menarik tangan Aira dan menghimpitnya ke dinding. "Gua tau lu pasti marah dengan pengakuan gua tadi," lanjut Evan, ntah kenapa kata-kata Evan tersebut membuat mata Aira kembali mengembun, ia memalingkan wajahnya. "Lepasin gua," ucap Aira, tapi Evan malah mempersempit jarak mereka. "Gua bilang lepasin, nggak ada yang perlu dipermasalahkan, jalani hidup lu biar gua jalani hidup gua sendiri!" suara Aira mulai meninggi. Ntah kepada saat Evan dekat dengan Aira, ia selalu hilang kendali. Evan malah menarik tengkuk Aira dan menciumnya. Aira yang melihat itu langsung menangis dan berusaha mendorong dada Evan, setelah sadar Evan melepas Aira.
