I checked the time and the clock had just hit 11 AM in the morning. Who dared to spoil my beauty sleep on Sunday. I just hope he or she has some valid reason for doing so. ¡°Eva!! Come to the packhouse as soon as possible. I have sent one of our drivers to pick you up from your address.¡±, My stepmother''s voice boomed from the other side of the phone. I abruptly jumped from the bed hearing her tensed voice. ¡°Is Mr. William alright?¡±, I asked, thinking about the worst-case scenario because she had called me for the first time in my entire life. I know I was angry with my father for leaving my mother for another she- wolf but that didn¡¯t mean I didn¡¯t care about him. I stopped ¡®Yeah! You read it right! I don¡¯t acknowledge my father as ¡®DAD¡¯ but by hisst name. I stopped calling him ¡®DAD¡¯ from the day my mother died.¡¯ ¡°He is but not for long. So, better hurry up!¡±, with those words the call ended from the other side. I quickly started packing a few of my clothes and ran toward the washroom to freshen up. ¡®Moon Goddess! Please keep him and everyone safe.¡¯, I prayed silently. *** After two hours Coming back to the pack where I was born after 17 years was really a nice feeling. Pack¡­the word sounds so foreign to me especially when there was no one there who liked a weak human. But I stopped feeling sad a long ago because I learned to be satisfied with my life. I¡¯m a Martial Art trainer and I am no longer dependent on Mr. William. Coming back to reality I took a look around, I could see that not many things had changed in these years. Still, I could see disgust and hatred in a few people¡¯s eyes. I enter Mr. William¡¯s house, a ce where I have some of my memories with my mother. My rtionship with Mr. William, his mate, and their daughter is far from good. My stepmother and half-sister hate me from the bottom of their heart and Mr. Williams calls me once a week to know about my well-being. It''s a different thing that I disconnect his call whenever my phone rings to hint him that I am still alive. The closer I was walking toward the hall, the louder I could hear the voice of a Man. I wondered what could be the reason behind it? ¡°...Such big deceit! From the beginning, I can see that your stupid daughter was not happy with the idea of marrying me, but I thought that she is taking her time to adjust to the sudden change in her life. I and my family trusted you and look what result we got! Do you think my and my family''s reputation is a joke to you? Do you have any idea that our reputation is going to be shattered after this incident? Everyone willugh at me by saying that I went to get with an Alpha daughter but got married to a weak human instead.¡±, He roared. ¡°...Who also happens to be an alpha¡¯s daughter.¡±, My step-mother said. I gasped after acknowledging this piece of information. Now, I realized why I was called on such short notice. I shook my head, thinking of all the ways to run away from here, that too ASAP. ¡°And she is already here.¡±, She added. Oh No! They might have sensed my presence. I tried to walk backward and felt my body getting hit by something hard. ¡®When did the walle to this ce?¡¯, I thought and looked behind me, only to find four guards standing there, folding their arms against their chest. I gulped my saliva nervously, knowing that now I could only walk toward the living room. The moment I stepped in, my eyesnded on a young man. No, not just handsome but deadly handsome. With his 6¡¯ feet height, broad shoulders, well-muscled chest, t stomach, and long legs he definitely has got a body to charm any girl and woman. His well-sculpted face, strong jawline, and sharp nose, and silky ck hair were enough to make anyone drool over him but what struck me the most were his brown eyes which were getting changed every moment. He looked at me and his eyes showed surprise. We would have continued with our staring session for god knows how long but we were distracted by Mr. William¡¯s voice. ¡°Eva, this is Alpha Daniel Grint of Stone Moon Pack and Alpha Daniel, she is my elder daughter, Evangeline.¡± I was now able topose myself. He also came out of his thoughts. When he heard my introduction he looked shocked. Well, that¡¯s nothing new. ¡®Everyone finds it shocking when theye to know that being an Alpha¡¯s daughter, I am still a human.¡¯ ¡°Fine! I will marry her.¡±, He said, looking at me. Silence. No one said anything. Why would they? Isn¡¯t this the n they had made for me? I was not able to say anything for a while. I was stillprehending his sentence and the earlier conversation. Why did Aleena run away from her own wedding? She was getting married to her mate, right? Now, she is not here. I was chosen as her substitute. No way! I am not going to marry this Alpha or any. Instead, I want to fall in love with a human and stay away from these dogs who have no respect for humans. No doubt, he is marrying me for his benefit. Otherwise, who would want to marry a human just like that. He met me just now. He didn¡¯t know my name until a few minutes ago. Oh, yeah! He didn¡¯t want to marry me just like that but because to save his and his family reputation. How could he think something as ridiculous as this? Aleena is his mate, not me. Then howe he could think of marrying someone else who is not his mate? In between all this he not even once asked my opinion, just like my so-called family! Why would he even ask? After all, he wants to marry me only for the sake of his reputation but I¡¯m not going to listen to anyone. This is my life and no one can take this decision of mine without my consent. I¡¯m not a weak and dependent woman. I agree he had looked to die for but for me, I could see my future crystal clear. He would throw me out of his life once his mate would be back. ¡°But I don¡¯t want to marry you.¡±, I finally found my voice after thinking all the things in my mind. ¡°And I am leaving because there is NO marriage here.¡±, I added firmly. Daniel looked at me. To say he was shocked was an understatement. What did he expect? Does only an Alpha have the right to reject a human? Sorry but no sorry, I¡¯m not someone who is dying to marry an Alpha. I am not one of those girls who want to be Luna and will grab the opportunity of marrying an Alpha. I am the queen of my kingdom, the kingdom which I made for myself. I handle my things on my own, I don¡¯t want an Alpha for that. I¡¯m no damsel in distress. ¡°Are you refusing to marry me?¡±, His tone was unsteady. ¡°Yes, I am.¡± His eyes showed hurt. Maybe his ego was hurt that a weak human was rejecting him. Now, why am I feeling bad for hurting him? It¡¯s not like I¡¯m rejecting my mate? Mate? Could it be possible that he is my mate? No, that¡¯s not possible. If this had been so then he wouldn¡¯t have agreed to marry my sister in the first ce. Then why is there an uneasy feeling surrounding my heart, making me feel guilty? ¡°And do you know what will be the oue of your rejection?¡±, His tone came as a threatening one. He started walking toward me, staring at me all the while. ¡°I will destroy everything you love.¡±, He said, looking directly into my eyes. I shook my head and looked at him in disbelief. ¡°Are you ckmailing me?¡± ¡°As a matter of fact, YES. You are going to marry me today itself, so better go and dressen up to be myst-minute bride.¡± ¡°No way.¡±, I was about to leave but he held my hand and stopped me. His touch did something strange. I felt a spark run all over my body and felt tingling sensations. What the hell is that feeling? C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. I was sure he also felt the same because he was staring at me like I was an Alien but soon he came out of it and smirked. His eyes were now mischievous sparks. ¡°I don¡¯t like when people don¡¯t obey me.¡± ¡°And I don¡¯t like when people order me¡±, With that, I freed my hand from his grip and red at him. ¡°Fine then, the choice is all yours. If no marriage is going to happen today then obviously a war will be. You have ten minutes to decide what you want.¡±, He said to Mr. Williams, leaving from there with his four minions. . #TBC 2 2 Daniel¡¯s POV . I never believed in mates and mate bonds, nor had I thought that it would have such a great impact on me just after the first meeting. I was so mad and angry for everything that this family did to me and after all this, they had the guts to offer me to marry a human? Seriously? I was taking out my anger on them. That''s when I smelt a scent that made me weak for a while. I wanted to stop shouting at them and start looking for that scent but then my ego went against that decision of mine. I mind-linked my guards to make sure to bring everyone near to living instantly because both I and my wolf were feeling restless. He was pacing in me and desperately wanted to get free. He had sensed someone and it¡¯s the first time he was acting this way. Soon, the scent was getting stronger and it took me a second to control my urges. I was feeling desperate. I wanted something or someone. All I knew was that I wanted to see the person behind this smell. And that¡¯s when my eyesnded on her. Her perfect body, long hair, and pretty face could make anyone crazy. Her hair was tied in a messy bun Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. with a few curls over her face. They look so silky that I started having an urge to touch them. Her blue eyes showed so much innocence at the same time. The moment our eyes met¡­it realized something that should have been realized a lot sooner than this. ¡°Mate¡± My wolf shouted loudly in my mind. I was not sure how to react to it but one thing was sure that I was shocked beyond the statement. Finding my mate was thest thing in my mind. Not to forget, my mate was a weak human. ¡®You can¡¯t call her weak without knowing anything about her.¡¯, My wolf defended her. And here it goes, my wolf has already be a love-sick puppy after finding out our mate. That¡¯s why I hate mate bond, it makes a lion behave like a kitten. And above all choosing a human mate was like falling for themb, that too being a Lion. Damn it. My breathing was hard and my chest puffed up and down as I continued to stare at her. . I have had a trust issue from the very beginning. That¡¯s why I had appointed one of my spies in the Alpha Williams¡¯s pack to keep me updated about all the things which were going on there. I never want to marry anyone, mate or not but then as an Alpha, I need to strengthen my pack and for that my aunt came up with the n of marrying another Alpha¡¯s daughter. I refused at first but then she made me swear her life and I was kind of forced to marry that stupid she-wolf, Aleena, who is the younger sister of my¡­mate, a fact that I learned a few minutes ago. I had made it clear to Aleena to not keep any expectations from me by writing her a letter because I didn¡¯t find it important to meet her, after knowing how annoying and irritating she was. I also exined in the letter that she would get money and all the stuff but she wouldn¡¯t have any right to my life. And today, my spy informed me in the morning about what all happened, I became furious. Not just because of that stupid Alpha daughter but because someone tried to cheat me and my family by tormenting our family status. And no one dares to mess with Daniel Grint. I have a status to maintain and my so-called bride running away on the day of the wedding was still a big thing. Though I was internally relieved to get freed from all this marriage thing, still I needed to teach this family a lesson. But all my ns to teach them a lesson changed after spotting my mate. I found her looking at me adoringly. Well, I had a body to die for so I didn¡¯t me her but unlike other girls, she was not looking downwards but was looking into my eyes like she was able to read all my thoughts by looking in them. I was still dumbfounded. When I got to know that she was the elder daughter of this family, I was shocked again. I remembered them telling me about the fact that they had an elder daughter but never did they mention her being a human. Moreover even they would have I never paid any attention to it as I was not interested in this stuff. Never in my dreams had I thought that she could be my MATE. My wolf was asking me to say ¡®YES¡¯ for the wedding, for his sake but I didn''t want to lie to him. I was going to say yes because I even wanted her to make MINE. That¡¯s when I agreed to the marriage without talking with her about it. I knew that I should have asked her and talked with her about it but then my EGO came in front of that thinking and I went along with my ego. I thought that she would happily agree because I was sure that she was attracted to me. Her eyes said it all and I am THE ALPHA DANIEL GRINT. I have everything that any girl looks for in their mate, looks, fame, money. What else does a girl need in her mate? No girl in her right state of mind could reject me but her NO was a big shock for me. My wolf whimpered thinking that she rejected us. I asked her again to confirm but she said those words again. I was hurt and when she saw my eyes her face softened. ¡®How can this girl make me feel weak? I¡¯m known among the strongest Alphas in the entire world but her denial made me feel sad and my wolf whimpered in no time? But no one can say NO to me. She has to say marry me, either willing or unwilling because there is no way I am letting her go. As the idea of her in the arms of someone else doesn¡¯t settle well in my mind.¡¯ That¡¯s why I threatened her and a part of me knew that this would work. I left from there giving her the time of 10 minutes but the entire time, my ears were on their conversation. ¡°You don¡¯t have to say YES for this marriage, Princess. I will face the consequences of the deed which Aleena did.¡±, Alpha Williams said. ¡°Oh! Just shut up!¡±, I heard the sound of Luna Catherine. ¡°Eva, Alpha Daniel will destroy everything you love, which includes all the memories of your mother as well which you have with you in this pack. Do you want that to happen? Also, I apologize for everything that I and Aleen did to you but please say YES to this marriage. Because I can agree that maybe your father was never a good mate for your mother but you can¡¯t deny the fact that he was always there for you whether you wanted him or not. So, it¡¯s your time to fulfill the duty of a daughter.¡± ¡°Stop ckmailing her, Cat. I didn¡¯t do anything for her with the expectation of asking such a big favor from her.¡±, Alpha Williams said and after a while both started arguing like an animal. While they kept arguing I smelt the scent of my mate getting stronger. It means she wasing toward me. ¡°I agree to marry you.¡±, She said while her face avoiding any emotion. ¡°You are really agreeing to the marriage?¡±, I asked again because I couldn¡¯t believe my ears. ¡°Yes.¡±, She replied with her voice low. I nodded my head, giving her a normal expression but deep down both I and my wolf were dancing and jumping in joy. I was thanking Aleena for running away. ¡°Great. I hope¡­¡±, She started leaving from there without listening to what I was going to say. I held her wrist and yanked her toward me. ¡°I hate when someone neglects me and doesn¡¯t listen to me.¡±, I whispered angrily. I knew I was hurting her, but I still couldn¡¯t control my anger when I felt neglected by her. ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk, Daniel. I am going to be your mate, your equal, not your ve so better learn to behave properly.¡±, She hissed and used all her strength to push me away. And I was surprised, seeing her sessful. Her eyes were full of tears but she didn¡¯t let them fall down from her eyes and was ring at me. She rubbed her hand and tried to leave from there again. ¡°You are not allowed to go out until our wedding.¡± ¡°Why?¡± ¡°What if you run away? When your younger sister can betray me then how can I believe you that you will keep your words?¡±, I spatted back. She tapped her foot on the floor while gritting her teeth. ¡°Fine.¡±, She said angrily and walked inside the house. ¡®You made her mad.¡¯, My wolf said in a sad tone. ¡®I can¡¯t help it. I can¡¯t trust her, at least not without knowing her.¡¯, I exined in which he didn¡¯t say anything in return. *** Alpha Williams¡¯ POV . I knocked on the door and it was open to my surprise, as I entered, I saw Eva holding her mother¡¯s photo frame in her hand. ¡°Eva!¡±, I called her name to gain her attention. ¡°Yes, Mr. Williams¡±, She answered, looking toward me. My heart ached after listening to her formal greeting. I just hoped to hear ¡®DAD¡¯ from her mouth someday. ¡°Princess, you don¡¯t have to do it. I know how much you hate our n and now you are going to marry the one.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk about anything on this topic.¡±, She said, cing her mother¡¯s photo frame at its ce. ¡°Here.¡±, I said, forwarding her mother¡¯s diary to her which ra asked me to hand over to Eva in case she decides to stay in the pack. I had no idea what she had left for our daughter in it. ¡°What¡¯s this?¡±, She asked, taking the diary from my hand. ¡°It¡¯s mom''s handwriting.¡±, She added, checking a few of its pages. ¡°Your mother asked me to give it to you when the right timees. And I think it¡¯s the right time.¡± ¡°Do you know what she had written in it?¡± ¡°No. I didn¡¯t read anything.¡± She nodded her head and whispered ¡°Thank you¡± in a low tone. ¡°Can you tell me why Aleena ran away from her own wedding leaving her mate?¡±, She asked. I was about to clear her confusion about Alpha Daniel not being Aleena¡¯s mate, that¡¯s when I felt Alpha Daniel¡¯s presence near the room. I turned around and saw him standing at the door. ¡°If you don¡¯t mind Alpha Williams, then can I speak to her in private?¡±, He asked, to which my eyes widened. When did he start taking permission? I looked at Eva and she nodded. So, I left her room. . #TBC 3 3 Evangeline¡¯s POV . He came in and sat across me and then he did something unthinkable. ¡°I am sorry.¡±, He said in a low tone. Barely audible. ¡°Pardon, please! I can¡¯t hear you properly.¡± ¡°I am very well aware that you heard me.¡±, He said in his old arrogant tone. ¡°And I am not going to repeat myself.¡±, He added. ¡°Whatever¡±, I muttered and was about to walk out but stopped by him, blocking my way. ¡°What now?¡±, I asked, getting slightly irritated. ¡°Don¡¯t you dare to run from this wedding just like your sister.¡±, He ordered. Who is he to order me? ¡°Listen Mr. Arrogant, I am not your ve who will follow your order meekly.¡±, I spat. ¡°I know you¡¯re not. But you will have to follow my orders.¡±, He growled and took a step forward while I moved backward. This continued until my back hit the wall. He ced both of his hands on either side of the wall so that I couldn¡¯t move. I could feel his hot and minty breath and tried to act as bold as I could. ¡°You are going to my wife. So, better behave like one from now on.¡±, He said while his right hand moved the har that covered my face behind my ear. ¡°Exactly. Your wife, not your mate. I am going to be just your wife whom you will easily kick out of your life after finding your mate just like you werewolves do.¡±, I hissed, pushing him away. I saw him opening his mouth to say something but he decided against it. He stared at me for a while before leaving my room. I ced my hand over my heart which was pounding loudly. I was trying hard to keep myself calm but couldn¡¯t. Why was that so? I was mad at him for his arrogant behavior, still, I couldn¡¯t stay mad at him. I knew it might sound clingy but I felt I had known him for years. As if there were some bonds between us. Okay! Now cut the crap! It was going too far. I ran my eyes back to my bed where my mom¡¯s diary was. I walked toward my bed and picked the diary. I softly touch it, with a small smile on my face. After all, this diary had memories of my mother''s memories. I opened the first page and could see my name in her handwriting ¡®For my princess, Evangeline¡¯. ¡®Dear Eva, If you are reading this then I believe either you are getting married to some werewolf or you have decided to stay in the pack. And I can guess, the answer will be the first one, most probably. I always knew that you can¡¯t stay away from your destiny and I hate to tell you that your destiny belongs here, between the werewolves.¡¯ I furrowed my eyebrow, after reading that sentence, wondering why mom would have written that? ¡®Don¡¯t get confused, my child. There are so many things that I want to share with you but I can¡¯t, at least not at this phase because you are too small to understand things but now that you are reading this diary, I am sure that you are a grown-up woman. First of all, I want you to forgive your father for the things he did to me because I knew he didn¡¯t ditch me intentionally. We both were forced into the marriage for the sake of our packs but we had cleared the fact to one another at the very beginning that one will not stop the other if he or she finds their mates. So, I would have done the same which your father had done if¡­.if I would have found my mate again.¡¯ ¡®Again? What does she mean by that?¡¯, I wondered. I touched the paper where my mom had written this and by touching it, I could tell that she was crying while writing this. ¡®I have never shared this with anyone before but with this diary that I had found my mate.¡¯ I gasped when I read that. I was clearly not expecting that to read this fact. ¡®...But he was killed in a rogue attack. My wolf couldn¡¯t bear the loss of her mate and even she left me along with him.¡¯, I re-read everything twice or say thrice. ¡®My wolf?¡¯ Original from N?velDrama.Org. ¡®Does that mean that mom was not a human but a werewolf?¡¯ ¡®Oh, My God!¡¯ ¡®Why didn¡¯t she share this with anyone before?¡¯, A lot of questions started filling in my mind but I had no answer to those questions until now. That¡¯s why I started reading what else was written in the diary. ¡®All this happened before my wedding with your father. I wanted to share this with him but by the time I could have gottenfortable with him, he had already found his mate and by that time, he was not just my husband. So, I never got a chance to share this with him. You are a very special child, Eva. That¡¯s the reason, I kept you away from the packs and the werewolves when you were a kid and one incident made you hate them, which worked in my benefit for that period but now I want to clear this. Everyone including you might consider yourself as human but I am sure you won¡¯t be¡­¡¯ My eyes widened when I read that. It means I have lived all my life in a lie. I turned the page to read more but found the next few pages had been torn and thereafter the pages were empty. ¡®What the hell!!¡¯, I muttered in frustration. I picked the diary in anger and walked outside my room to talk with Mr. William. Correction, not ¡®Talk but ask¡¯ about the missing pages. ¡°Are you going to talk with my mate about this?¡±, I heard the annoying voice of my stepmother the moment I stepped out of my room. I looked at her first and then toward her hand where she was pointing and found a few papers. ¡°It belongs to me.¡±, I said and stepped forward to take those papers from them but she pulled her hand away. ¡°I know but I will give it to you after the marriage.¡± ¡°But¡­But I have already agreed for the marriage.¡±. I tried to reason out to get those papers as soon as possible because I was desperate to read what else was written in those papers. ¡°You have AGREED for the marriage just like my daughter but you can run away from it just like her. So, get inside and now you wille out of your room only at the time of the marriage.¡±, Saying this, she pushed me inside my room and locked it from outside. I wanted to bang the door and shout loudly but I knew it was of no use. It¡¯s her pack and her orders would be followed here. Also now that I had already decided to marry that Arrogant Alpha. I would ask for those pages after the marriage. ¡®A little patience would cause no harm, right?¡¯, I asked myself but didn¡¯t get any response in return. ¡®Is it possible that I could be a werewolf? But I am already 23 years old. A werewolf shifts at their 18th birthday. Or maybe just because my mother¡¯s wolf had left her before my birth, turning her into a human, even I could be a human?¡¯ I kept thinking about all the possibilities. I didn¡¯t realize that it was evening already until I heard the door of my room getting opened and a few unfamiliar faces walked into my room with the wedding gown and the make-up. I couldn¡¯t believe that this was really happening. After an hour of work, with all said and done I finally got ready for my wedding. It sounded so strange because it was something beyond my wildest imagination. When I came back after 17 years I had no idea that I would be an Alpha¡¯s Last Minute Bride. . #TBC 4 4 Daniel¡¯s POV . I couldn¡¯t express my happiness when I lifted my gaze from the floor and felt a rush of emotion swirl straight to my heart as my mate made her way down the aisle all dressed up in a pretty white wedding gown. The wedding gown they had chosen for her was perfect for her figure, it left me wondering whether they had already nned this all incident or they had nned her marriage to someone else who was not me. I felt instant rage at that thought. ¡®Okay, fine! Don¡¯t spoil our mood by thinking all those stupid thoughts.¡¯, My wolf suggested. ¡°Our mate looks so beautiful in her wedding gown.¡¯, He added and I couldn¡¯t help myself from agreeing with him. I tried to hide any more emotions from my face as Evangeline reached near me. ¡®Her name is too long. How about we call her ¡®Angel¡¯?¡¯, ¡®Not bad. I liked it.¡¯ ¡®Our mate, Our angel¡¯, He said and the whole time my eyes were on her. Her hands-on her father shook and her eyes were on the ground. Not once did she look my way. Well, what else could I expect from a bride who was ckmailed to marry? Her father didn¡¯t look happy as he let go of her hands so that she could stand opposite to me. Nor her stepmother. Talking about my family, even they didn¡¯t look happy at all. Why? Because half of them had thought that I was getting married to a weak human just for the sake of the pack. While others were feeling sorry for my mate because they knew what kind of person I was! Angel? On the other hand, I couldn¡¯t figure out what she was thinking or feeling and she was the one I actually wanted to know about. Did any part of her want this wedding to happen? And should it matter to me? ¡°Please hold her hands.¡±, The father ordered. Angel forwarded her hands toward me and I didn¡¯t waste any single second to hold it. The spark ran all around my body when her small warm hand sped around mine. I knew even she could feel the same but just because I was an Alpha, the feeling was ten times stronger than any human. As the ceremony started, my wolf started dancing in joy because this time he was ready for the wedding unlike yesterday, he was actually happy today. ¡°I do¡± ¡°I do¡± And with those two words, I finally got my mate, my mate as my wife now. It sounds so good. ¡°I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride!¡± My body was excited and felt over the moon after hearing this. Kiss the bride! I want to kiss her senselessly but observe her difort. I was not sure whether it was a good idea or not. She wasn¡¯t looking directly at me as if she was avoiding my eyes for some reason. I hated that. I wanted her to look at me just like I was looking at her. My eyes fell on her pretty pink lips and I had a deep urge to im it as soon as possible. I lifted her veil and lifted her chin to make her look at me but she had already closed her eyes. Nope! This is not happening! If I am going to kiss her then she must look into my eyes. ¡°Open your eyes, Evangeline.¡± Her entire body went still at my demand and slowly she opened her blue eyes, deep and clear as the ocean. And just like the ocean, her eyes were silent as well as dangerous at the same time. Without further warning, I gripped her waist with my other hand and crashed my lips to her. I could feel that she was not prepared for it, that¡¯s why I quickly pulled away from her. Also, my other reason to pull away from her was that I didn¡¯t want anyone to feel that I was into her since the very first day and she was my mate. ¡°You may mark your Luna, Alpha Daniel.¡±, I heard the father saying at which the excitement level of my wolf increased and my pack members howled in happiness. But the excitement of my wolf died when we both smelt fear, fear of our mate. By looking at her, anyone could tell that she was standing confidently without any fear but the truth was far away from reality. I clenched my jaw, angry that the first thing I thought about was stopping her difort and fear. ¡®I want to mark her at this very moment but¡­.we have to give her some time.¡¯ ¡®I was going to say the same.¡¯, I said and we nodded together in an understanding way. After all, our mate had faced a lot of things in one single day. ¡°I am not going to mark her.¡±, I announced, making everyone silent. ¡®At least, not now.¡¯ I wanted to add that but my big ego didn¡¯t let me say that. ¡°Get all your belongings from your room. We will be leaving for our home in half an hour.¡±, I said to her with a poker face on which my wolf was scolding me. ¡®You could have said those words with love.¡¯ ¡®Whatever.¡¯ *** The time of half an hour was about to end and at that moment I realized that something was wrong. Angel¡¯s scent wasn¡¯t as strong as it was half an hour ago. But that couldn¡¯t be right, she couldn¡¯t have run away from here just after our marriage. Even my wolf started getting restless. ¡°Daniel, I wanted to talk about your bride. Why did you..¡±, My Aunt stopped asking me that question when she observed my expression. ¡°What happened, son?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sure.¡±, I answered as both I and my wolf were trying to focus on her scent. ¡°By the way, you were saying something, Aunt?¡± ¡°Was it necessary to marry a human?¡± ¡°Yes it was for¡­our family reputation.¡±, I answered her. I could feel she wanted to ask some more Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. questions but I was already on my way to her room, looking for her. Thest thing I remembered, I had asked her to collect her things from her room. My heart was racing as I climbed the steps two at a time. The closer I got, the more worried I became. If she was in there, I should be able to hear her, or at least her scent would hit me a lot stronger than before. None of that was happening. I mmed the door open in a rush and scanned the room. ¡®You could have opened the door calmly. Now observing your anger and behavior, everyone will get to know that our angel is not here.¡¯, My wolf tried to calm my anger. ¡®NOT A WORD. NOT A SINGLE WORD.¡¯ ¡°Evangeline?¡±, I called her name and stormed into the washroom when I didn¡¯t hear her answer my call. I looked around and found a rope, made up of curtains and bedsheets thrown out of the window. I checked that the rope was almost touching the ground. Immediately the understanding and the calm wolf was long gone, he started fuming in anger just like me. My fist tightened at my sides and I held back on punching the wall. ¡®She shouldn¡¯t have run away from us.¡¯, He muttered in anger and I didn¡¯t waste a single second jumping from her window. I sniffed in the air and realized in which direction our mate had left. ¡®Bad move, angel¡¯, I smirked before morphing into the big silver wolf and running in the direction of our mate, following her scent. . #TBC 5 5 Evangeline¡¯s POV . I couldn¡¯t cry on my fate anymore after all I got married to an arrogant and heartless Alpha. I wonder what his problem was. One moment, I could find him looking at me with an unknown expression which I couldn¡¯t name yet but at the same time, he looked like he didn¡¯t give a damn about this marriage and had nothing to do with me Well, why would he? He wanted to marry my sister and got married to me instead. He ordered me to look at him and without warning, he gripped my waist and crushed his lips to mine. I was not prepared for the rush of emotions that jammed my heart. I couldn¡¯t understand the reason for my sudden emotions for him. I gripped his ck suit, trying to hold myself from falling to the floor. And just like he kissed me before I could have prepared myself, he pulled away from me so quickly that I was left to think that I was a gue from which he wanted to stay away as much as possible. But his eyes said otherwise. When he mentioned that he was not going to mark me. I felt a slight pain in my heart which I again couldn¡¯t decipher why? I was already prepared for this, didn¡¯t I? He would obviously mark his mate, not me, right? ¡°Get all your belongings from your room. We will be leaving for our home in half an hour.¡±, Though he again sounded arrogant but I liked the fact that he mentioned ¡®OUR HOME¡¯. His home was mine now. I quickly walked inside the home to get those pages from my stepmother which she had said that she would handover to me but I could find her. ¡°Luna Evangeline¡±, I started that Omega in confusion when he called me with that name. It took me a while to realize that I was now married to an Alpha, and that made me Luna. ¡°Your mother asked me to give this to you.¡± I nodded my head, taking the paper which she had in her hand. ¡°Meet me near the Lake Side. Make sure you shoulde alone and no one should see you.¡± What the fuck! ¡®What is she nning at this moment? Mr. Arrogant has given me just half an hour. How in the hell could I manage meeting her near the Lake and get all my belongings in just half an hour?¡¯ *** The moment the moonlight touched my skin, I felt like something happened to my skin. I gently rubbed my hands and ran toward the forest as fast as I could but I immediately stopped when I saw white hairs growing out of my hands, out of nowhere. I stopped running and touched my hands again. What kind of sick joke was this? I tried to pull those white hairs like furr from my hand but I felt pain while doing so! It seemed like those were the parts of my body but how could that be possible, I had had waxing a few days before. ¡°Aaahhhh¡±, I copsed on the ground suffering from an excruciating pain that erupted from my stomach, radiating toward my whole body. I watched the color of my nails getting changed from the shed of white and pink to ck. Also, my body started getting covered with those white furs more densely than before. ¡°Is it possible that I¡¯m shifting?¡±, I asked myself but didn¡¯t receive any answer in return. I felt bones start to crack and start to realign themselves. I wanted to cry and shout loudly but I couldn¡¯t, because by that time, I had lost my voice, all I could do was whimper in pain. I closed my eyes and kept whimpering until the pain subsided. After a few minutes, I heard an excited female voice. ¡°Hello, Open your eyes!!¡± I did what I was told and found no one around. My eyes widened as I saw my toes, which were no longer human toes but furry paws. I took a 360-degree turn only to see my tail! I heard someone giggling. I quickly stopped my stupid activity and got conscious. ¡®Well, you can me me! It does not happen every day. I mean turning into a wolf from a human.¡¯ ¡®Yeah, that¡¯s right.¡¯, I heard that voice again. ¡®Who¡¯s here?¡¯, I asked but my voice didn¡¯te out like a human. I felt stupid to ask that question. ¡®I can still hear you, Eva. Because I am a part of you. I don¡¯t want to confuse you more. Long story, short, I am Ivory, your lycan.¡¯, With that, I saw a big wolf starting appearing in my mind whose furs were as white as milk. ¡®Lycan?¡¯ ¡®You don¡¯t know anything about wolves and their history, do you?¡¯ I couldn¡¯t help but negatively shake my head. ¡®Fine, then! I will exin¡­.MATE¡¯, She shouted in excitement, changing the topic which she was saying before. ¡®Mate? I mean our Mate?¡¯ ¡®Yes! I hope you know about Mate and Mate bond.¡¯ ¡®I do! I mean, not much but I know that is the person who is sent by Moon Goddess for you, who is meant to love and cherish you.¡¯ ¡®Perfect. Now, think about your human form. We have to meet our mate.¡¯, I first smiled at the idea of having a mate but then realization hit me like a truck. ¡®But¡­but I¡­I am already married to someone else who¡¯s my sister¡¯s mate.¡¯, I said in a panic. ¡®You gotta be kidding me.¡¯, My Lycan gave me a disbelief look ¡°Please leave from here. I don¡¯t want to meet our mate. I don¡¯t want to be someone who cheats on someone just because he or she finds his or her mate because I know how this mate bond works. ¡®But¡­¡¯ ¡®Please Ivory. Let''s go from here before he¡¯s here.¡¯, I pleaded, when I smelt an amazing smell of sandalwood andvender,ing close to me. Original from N?velDrama.Org. ¡®Fine!!¡¯, She agreed to me unwillingly and started running from there. Then I noticed my senses heightened 10 times more and could run as fast as a vampire. My sad mood was uplifted when the wind brushed through my fur as I ran. This feeling was amazing. Ivory took another way to reach my home and just like she directed I was shifted back to my human form, and I still had my wedding gown on. ¡®Perks of an Alpha Lycan¡¯, she said in my mind. ¡°What are the other perks of Alpha Lycan?¡¯, I asked her, when I was climbing up to reach my room. ¡®No one can sense my presence until I want them to feel it.¡¯, She said proudly. ¡®By the way, are you sure this is your room because I can still smell our mate?¡¯ ¡®Me too. But I don¡¯t think he cane here. Only limited people are allowed to enter my room and I don¡¯t think our mate will try to risk his life by trespassing in our pack without Alpha¡¯s permission.¡¯, I answered, more like I exined to myself. I finally entered my room and sighed in relief with the thought that I didn¡¯t get caught by anyone but my happiness didn¡¯tst long, when I saw Daniel, sitting on my bed and ring at me. Oh boy! ¡®MATE¡¯, Ivory howled in happiness and joy. ¡®Are you sure? Because he¡¯s my sister''s mate and he''s the person whom I¡¯m married to.¡¯ Ivory immediately became silent, considering what I just said while I gulped nervously when I saw him walking toward me in anger. ¡®This is not good.¡¯ . #TBC The Novel will be updated first on this website.
