Eve #2 Novels & Stories

I began working. I was going to serve King Kane the food and drinks. I walked up to him with the tray containing his plate of food and a glass of juice... I could physically feel the fear in my body as a result of the way he was gazing at me. My whole body was throbbing... I had to maintain control to prevent falling with the tray. I raised my eyebrows as I drew nearer; he continued to look at me, but I quickly broke eye contact. 'What have you done wrong, Evelyn?' was echoing loudly in my head while my heart was beating so quickly. 'Are you poorly dressed? Why is he looking at you as if you have done something wrong?'

Outside, the cool morning breeze swept through the compound. The moment Eli spotted Adrian standing beside the vehicle, her face lit up instantly. “Daddy!” She sprinted toward him at full speed, nearly crashing into his legs as he caught her effortlessly in his arms. Adrian smiled softly and kissed her forehead. Meanwhile, Evelyn froze the moment her eyes landed on the vehicle parked before the mansion. Her lips parted slightly in shock. “Is that…” She couldn’t even finish the sentence. The massive armored vehicle gleamed beneath the morning sunlight like a beast built for war.

“You see all of it, don’t you?” Eva’s head tilted slightly, not in answer, but in acknowledgment. Her gaze traced the flow of data, noting the tiny dots that moved across the city maps, the time stamps on messages, the subtle gradient shifts in temperature readings from remote facilities. Even at two years old, she recognized the rhythm, the cause and effect. The world didn’t need to be explained if she could map it herself. The chime of a notification drew her attention next. A message from her father: a calendar invite for a meeting at the foundation headquarters. Vivienne tapped it open, and the screen showed rows of names, charts, and notes.

“Duelist Ra’ventrii is the winner! She has confirmed the 69th Seed of the Fourth Tier! Amazing! Who knew she would be able to climb this high?! Definitely not the ones holding all those colorfully-worded signs, that’s for sure!” ~ Some time later, Eva stepped out into the streets beyond the Viper Pit. She didn’t bother to take off her armor, but instead threw a black robe loosely over her body, and kept her helmet retracted. She took a good long inhale, then breathed it back out happily. “I love this smell,” she said. “You hated it not long ago,” replied Alevos. He, along with the rest of Team Ra’ventrii walked up beside her. They too wore jovial smiles. They had earned a great deal and had

“So far, we’re thinking of having the ceremony in the late afternoon, then do pictures, a cocktail hour, and then the reception.” “That’ll be really nice.” “We hope so. If only the weather would be nice then, right?” “It can snow in March,” Owen says. “Everything is inside, so we should be fine,” Dean finally speaks for the first time. “I saw the new renovations to the venue on their website,” I say. “It’s so pretty.” “It’s like a fairytale!” Kara agrees. “I forgot to ask you, Quinn,” Mom says and turns the burner off. “Is Jamie coming to the reveal tomorrow?”

The vessel turned toward open water, cutting through waves that glowed faintly with bioluminescent streaks, electrical traces, pale blue light born from the sea itself. Wind battered against the railing, carrying salt and promise. Behind the lurch of motion, Evelyn steadied herself and said almost to the dark, “If he’s really protecting me, he’ll understand what comes next.” Her words vanished into the wind before either man could answer. *** Hours later, while both Evelyn and Adrian dozed in uneasy half‑sleep, Luca typed quietly at a secondary terminal. He opened the secured inbox linked to the E.H‑Ψ network. There was a message waiting already queued, marked Read Receipt Only.

A few feet away, Jay was already waiting. The farther I walked from Nathan, the more aware I became of the distance growing between us. Aleu stirred uneasily. “Our mate.” I swallowed. I know. The feeling wasn’t overwhelming. Not unbearable. But it felt wrong. Like a piece of me had been left behind in the parking lot. “This isn’t how it should be,” Aleu muttered. “We should be with our mate.” She continued. “I know.” I replied. “He is our mate. Our Alpha. And we are his Luna, the two of us shouldn’t be apart.” She said.

“Miss Eve Lane, I’m calling from the ticketing office to inform you that your flight has been canceled.” Eve grew paler. She wanted to elope after the money was transferred and had already booked her flight. It seemed that just like Drake, Eve didn’t trust him either. “Why? Is there a problem with the airline?” If there was a problem, she didn’t mind rescheduling it. She only needed to do a few adjustments.

WARNING! THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS SOME VIOLENT SCENES. EVE'S POV:- TWELVE WEEKS LATER:- I heard a knock on my bedroom door. "Come in." I replied and the door opened. Ryan came in and bowed his head as always. "My mistress, we are ready to go. Tonight, you can perform the ritual. The area is cleared now." He informed me and I nodded my head. Bowing his head again in front of me, he stepped out of the room. I looked at myself in the mirror. I was missing Master Adrian. He was somehow my strength. Taking a deep breath, I nodded my head at myself and walked towards the door.

"Is Daniel sure about the no sex thing?" I nodded and giggled. " Cleo don't do that ." "What?" " what you just did . I am going through a lot of emotions right now. " " Tell me?"
