Daniel’s POV
.
When I returned back from the training, both I and my wolf couldn’t find Angel’s scent in the packhouse. My wolf was beyond restless but I tried to calm him down thinking he was getting worried for no reason. The look on my family members that they sensed my edginess.
I quickly walked toward my room to check on her and even feeling slightly angry with the fact that why she needed to disappear from the from all the time?
I checked all the surroundings impatiently but didn’t find her anywhere. My temper flared when I realize that she was really not here! How and why did Aunt let her go anywhere without my permission or without me?
“Where’s she?”, I asked Nora who was looking at me in confusion but instead of her, my mother replied.
“She went to the city because she had to collect some of her stuff from her apartment.”
I controlled my anger from busting like lava when I heard that.
“Didn’t you know her state? Why did you let her go?”, I yelled at her.
“In fact, I asked the same, Dan, when I came to know that she went out of the pack in her periods and that too without you by her side! What if someone attacks her or…”
“Emma, don’t speak like that.”, My father warned.
“I was just saying the possibilities. Dan should have kept her in his control but he didn’t. Now see what she did. She didn’t respect him or care for our family reputations. It’s not safe for any female to stay out of the house in their heat or periods. Because it attracts the other werewolves.”
“But Emma, she went to the city, not to some other packs and these things are quite normal over there.”
“It would be. But you should have explained the rules of our family because sooner or later, she has to get accommodated with it.”
“Moon Goddess! I’m so much done with this daily soap drama.”, Dad muttered and left from there. Even Nora and Stephan followed him, leaving me, my Aunt, and my so-called mother.
She was the reason behind every argument in the family.
I hate her so much.
“Dan, you should bring her back home right now.”, Aunt Emma suggested.
“But Emma, she’s not a kid, she can return home on her own.”
“Aunt Emma, please ask her to stay away from my life and my wife.”, I said those words to my mother in anger.
“You will spoil your relation with her if you will try to force your decision on her.”, She warned before speaking again. “I’m just trying to save you from doing something really very stupid.”
“I can handle my thing on my own. Don’t act like you care.”, I taunted before dialing Alpha Willam’s number to know the address of her apartment in the city.
And to my surprise, Alpha William told me that she visited their house in the morning first before leaving for the city. I was mad at her. I really was.
And I had my own reasons for doing so. I had thought to pamper her in these days because I had learned from someone that females get mood swings during these days.
Also, I wanted to go with her no matter whether she wanted to visit her parents’ house or her apartment to help her in shifting her stuff.
But then, she had to do everything on her own. Not to forget, she went out alone even after knowing that she was now the Luna of my pack.

Evangeline’s POV
.
I couldn’t believe this.
That woman tricked me with those fake papers just because she wanted to make sure that I wouldn’t run from the marriage just like Aleena.
Arghhh! It meant only one thing that someone knowingly tore those papers from my mom’s diary. But if it was not my stepmother then who it could be?
Her mate?
Well, I couldn’t say that confidently because I even confronted him in the morning and even he was clueless about it.
Then who would have torn those pages?
I sighed, knowing that my questions were not going to answer anytime soon.
When I reached my apartment, it was already locked from outside. So, I used my spare key to open it. I closed the door behind me and then walked inside our bedroom, I made sure to keep the door of the bedroom open because there was a problem with the lock of the door. Once it gets locked, it could be opened from outside only.
“You still didn’t get the lock repair, did you?”, I jumped directly on the conversation by dialing the number of my roommate.
“Oh, shoot! I totally forgot that. I’m sorry. But you can’t blame me for it. It’s all my boss’s fault. He asked me to come with him to Paris because of the business meeting and I couldn’t deny him. And all this happened on the same day on which you left for your home.”, She said in one breathe. “Now that you’re back, can you please get this fixed?”
“But…”
“You have no idea how I almost had missed my flight on the day when I had a flight to Paris. I got locked in that apartment in the morning. But then thanks to our neighbors who heard my voice when they were going out for their job and thanks to me who hadn’t locked the main door from inside, otherwise my boss would have kicked me out for not reaching the airport at the time.”
“Fine. Fine. I’m not interested in listening to all your story. Let me register the complaint to the maintenance office.”
“I love you so much. Uuuummmuuuaaahhh”,
“Yeah, yeah”, I muttered, rolling my eyes.
“I will be reaching there by tomorrow morning. See you there, babe!”, She added before disconnecting the call. I wanted to say that I wouldn’t be staying here by tomorrow morning but then she had already disconnected the call.
.
After an hour,
An unknown person, which I believe was sent from the Apartment Maintenance office visited my apartment to repair the lock of the door.
“How much time it will take?”
“Ma’am, this lock can’t be repaired. I will have to replace the lock of this door with the new one.”
“Fine then. Please fix this as soon as possible.”
“But I haven’t brought a new lock with me.”, He responded. “But I can get the lock from the market and will return within half an hour.”
I pressed my lips into a thin line before nodding my head. Once he left, I laid down on the bed, feeling tired.
‘I’m missing mate.’, Ivory commented.
‘Don’t worry, we will get back to him at the end of the day.’, I assured her, knowing that she was feeling sad.
‘Mate’, She howled loudly out of nowhere. Don’t tell me that she gets any sudden mental attacks. Before I could have asked something from her, Daniel’s scent hit hard. He was indeed here.
I walked toward the main door and I opened it to confirm my doubt. And yes, he was standing there, right in front of me. He had raised his hand toward the doorbell, maybe if I wouldn’t have open the door in the previous few seconds then he would have rung the bell until now.
He sniffed around and immediately the expression on his face changed.
“Who was with you?”, He asked, walking inside the apartment.
“Sorry?”, I asked in confusion, closing the door behind me.
“I can smell the perfume of some other man.” He said, gritting his teeth and following the scent. He ended up walking toward the bedroom. I was not a fool who couldn’t understand what he was asking even by that moment. I followed him to explain everything that happened here but before I could have gotten a chance to speak, he grabbed my neck, lifted me from the ground, and pushed me against the wall in anger.
‘WHAT THE HELL’
