Daniel’s POV
.
“No, I will sleep on the couch. You should use the bed as it’s your room.”, She argued back.
Not again.
Why should she have to argue with me all the time? Why couldn’t she listen to me?
But then again, I hate to admit it, her nature for some reason turned me on. I never liked weak and submissive people. The beast inside me, loved her feisty side and wanted her just as much as I did.
“I mean OUR room.”, She corrected herself after a while.
After hearing OUR from her, I relaxed a little, thinking at least she considered my room as her as well.
“No. You should use the bed after all you are tired.”, I tried to reason with her.
“And so you are. I am not the only one who got married today! Besides, that couch is so small for you. You won’t fit in.”, She made me realize something which I hadn’t thought about. And I must say, she was right.
But my big ego couldn’t let her WIN in this argument.
“What do you mean by ‘I won’t fit in’?”, I questioned her even though I knew she was talking about my height and my big figure. Also, I just loved talking to her. I didn’t know whether she knew this or not but her voice was so melodious.
“Why do you have to pick a fight with me all the time?”, She asked angrily. “Can’t you understand one simple thing that I didn’t want to offend you, it’s just your tall body won’t fit on that small couch.”, She added. “But guess what! There is no use of talking to you because you are not going to listen to me. I am stupid who was getting worried for you.”, She huffed and sat on the bed.
I was amused listening to her words. Even though she was angry, she looked so cute in it. It showed that she cared for me and my heart swelled up with joy. I knew she was right but I also knew that she wouldn’t be able to sleep comfortably on the couch and I could never let my angel feel any discomfort.
“Don’t worry about me, I can sleep in all the unusual places. I am habitual to it but humans like you are not. So, now don’t argue and just sleep.”
I saw her opening her mouth to say something but then she closed it without saying anything. Maybe she got the idea that no matter what she would say, I wouldn’t listen to her. She glared at me.
“You’re impossible.”, She said before sleeping.
‘I don’t want to lose her, Daniel.’
‘Me neither.’
‘Still you’re fighting with her like a kid. And you also made her upset.’
‘If this is so then I will surprise her with something special.’, I answered him. By that time, I had already planned what I would do for her tomorrow.
After some time, I saw her sleeping peacefully but sleep was far away from my eyes. I kept staring at her without blinking.
She looked so beautiful with open hair, pink lips, long eyelashes, just like an angel.
The moment my eyes landed on her for the first time, I knew I was screwed up.
I knew this girl would either be the death of me or bring me to life.

After an hour, I left my room silently without disturbing her sleep for the training. I wanted to skip today’s training but I couldn’t ignore my Alpha duties. I returned back after 3 hours of training and saw that my angel was still sleeping.
‘It seemed like she was really tired.’
‘Hmm.’, I agreed with my wolf and walked inside the washroom to take a bath. I came downstairs after getting dressed and everyone looked at me in surprise. I already knew why?
“Where is Evangeline?”, My aunt asked.
“Aunt…”, I started speaking hesitantly.
“Don’t tell me that she’s still sleeping?”, She said, raising her eyebrow. I didn’t say anything about it because that’s the truth.
“Isn’t it obvious that she would be sleeping after a sleepless night yesterday.”, My father teased me and my eyes widened in shock.
Though nothing happened between us and they could smell that as well but my cheeks turned pink with embarrassment which I tried to hide. “Dad, I didn’t see you after my wedding. Where were you?”
“I went to attend one of your meetings without telling you because I was afraid that you might leave your wedding for your work. After all, we already know that you were not interested in this marriage.”
Yes, I would have done the same if I would have been married to someone else except my angel.
“You guys can continue the topic of the work later. For now, wake her up, Daniel. You are always too strict and never allow anyone to sleep beyond the time. For you, things need to be done at their time.”, She said, reminding me of my rule.
“But Aunt, she must be really tired with everything.”, I tried to reason with her, not knowing how to tell my Aunt to let her sleep.
“So do you. But you are here after training for continuous three hours, right?”, She reasoned.
“Leave it, Emma. She’s not a werewolf like us. Let her sleep.”, My father solved the problem much to the delight of me.
Aunt was clearly unhappy but she didn’t say anything once her brother announced his decision. I went to our room to check whether she was awake after having my breakfast.
Nope!
It looked like she was definitely not a morning person.

Emma’s POV
.
I couldn’t believe this.
He was defending her that too within a day after after with her. I had chosen Aleena for him because she was a fool and stupid, which could never make her place in Daniel’s heart. But all my plans failed when that idiot ran away and Evangeline came into his life.
‘I don’t know more about her but I can tell that she is something and she had her effect on Daniel. Not to mention, she doesn’t look stupid like her sister. I am not sure yet but I feel like Daniel already started liking her even though she is nothing but a human. I can see that in his eyes even though he had maintained a cold look from outside. The way he kept looking at her during the wedding, his eyes showed love and happiness for which he had longed for years.
And I wouldn’t let him live happily, no matter whatever I would have to do to accomplish my task.
He robbed my happiness and how could I let him be happy?’
I have to do something before things get out of my hand.
