Emma’s POV
.
I had seen the attraction in Daniel’s eyes for Evangeline on day one, and I should have understood that already but this fact didn’t ring a bell that she could be his FUCKING mate.
Shit!
How could I miss that part?
I should have already guessed by observing her effect of her on Daniel. Not to forget Danieal’s instant liking toward a stranger.
How the hell did this all happen? This was never my plan.
Even after her untamed nature, Daniel didn’t want to leave her.
Though as for now, I had asked him to pretend in front of her, showing that he had changed, but I wasn’t sure for how long he could control from giving himself into her.
That’s the effect of Matebond.
That human had the power to wrap Daniel around her fingers just like that, whereas it took me more than years to finally gain his trust and keep him under control. Now, I’m scared that she would also amend his relationship with the other family members.
Moon Goddess! I didn’t want that to happen.
I didn’t know his problem with his mother because no matter how much I tried to see from him, he was stubborn and hotheaded to change that topic.
I wondered what his mother did which made him hate him this much?
And I also knew that his mother had no idea why her son hated her so much. But at the same time, I was scared that Evangeline would sooner or later know the reason behind it.
I had to keep them apart, but how?
My plan to keep that fool failed miserably because he was nowhere in my room when I woke up. He always used to stay in my room, by my side whenever I used to be sad, but today, he was not there. I used a witch’s potion to hide my scent and then walked toward his room to check on him whether he was there and closed my angrily, realizing what he was doing with his mate.
I didn’t get a single moment to spend time with my mate or my wolf because of him. I lost both of them because of him. And he had to pay for it.
He would pay for it.
I would never stay happily with his mate.
Never!
I felt someone’s presence behind me, but when I turned around, there was no one; shaking my head; I felt from there, but little did I know there was someone.

Evangeline’s POV
.
‘What was she doing outside our room?’ I thought when I found her shadow near the door. Thanks to my vampire speed, I requested to put some clothes on him, and when he walked toward the wardrobe to get his clothes, I used that moment to jump out of the balcony and enter the packhouse only to find Aunt Emma standing outside our room. She might have felt my presence but quickly ran away from there, back to my room before my husband figured out that I was not in the room.
As he had already turned around, wearing his boxer, and was looking for me. I halted my steps on the balcony, knowing that he would come here to look for me.
“Where were you?”, He asked, eyeing me suspiciously.
“You can already see.”, I said, shrugging my shoulders.
“Yeah! I can sense that, but you were not there just a moment before. Your smell had faded from the room as if you were not here for a few seconds.” He looked into my eyes, maybe searching for his answer, but he didn’t find any. “Maybe I’m overthinking.”, He muttered.
‘I don’t like this.’, Ivory commented. ‘We shouldn’t keep our mate in the dark. I don’t give a damn that he is arrogant or a jerk, but I don’t like hiding about us with me. It makes me feel like we are cheating on him.’
“By the way, what the hell you are doing here?”
“I…”
“Showing your ass to others.”, He asked, pulling me into his arms possessively. My eyes widened when he said so. Before I could say something, he picked me up in his arms, taking me to the room. He put me down on my feet before continuing, “Now, I need my shirt back.”
“Have you gone mad?” I asked, pulling his shirt closer to my heart.
‘Show him what you have hidden inside this baggy shirt.’, Ivory said, taking his side.
‘Really? Ivory?’, I scoff, on which she licked her paw and lowered her head, yawning lazily. Not to forget, totally ignoring my question.
“If asking my shirt back is madness, then yes, I’m mad.”, He smirked.
“Dan, I’m feeling sleepy.”
“It’s not that I’m not letting you sleep. Give me my favorite shirt back, and you can sleep.”
“Fine! Let me change first.” I said and walked toward the wardrobe, but he yanked me, pulling me close toward him. “What now?”
“I need my shirt, then you are allowed to walk toward the closet.”, He said casually.
This bastard.
But fine! Both can play.
I started opening the buttons of his shirt slowly, very slowly in fact, and then pulled it aside. And then, after taking it out from my body, I threw it on his face. His eyes hungrily traveled around my naked figure.
He pulled his shirt away from his face annoyingly and glared at me.
Serve you, right.
I knowingly swayed my hips a little more to tease him. I bit my lips, trying to control the smile forming on my lips, hearing him groaning. I wore my nightdress and then walked back to bed to sleep.
While he ran into the washroom, maybe to take a cold shower. I checked my phone to see any message from Diana, and yes, there was a voice message from her.
‘He is my mate, Eva!’, She chirped. She had sent this message half an hour ago.
‘Congratulation, Baby,’ I texted her back. Before closing my eyes, I recalled Aunt Emma’s activity!
‘Do I need to stay alert?’
‘I guess, YES.’
