His Best Friend

While I Was Bleeding Out, He Lit Lanterns For Her

While I Was Bleeding Out, He Lit Lanterns For Her

Katie Oettgen
As I lay on the floor of our manor, bleeding out from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, I used my last ounce of strength to call my husband, Cole. I begged him for help, my vision blurring. But the only thing I heard was the clinking of champagne glasses and his mistress's giggle in the background. "Stop the drama, June," Cole snapped, his voice cold. "We're about to go on stage. Don't call again." He hung up, leaving me to die alone on the Persian rug while he accepted an award with another woman on his arm. I woke up in the hospital days later. My baby was gone. They had removed my fallopian tube. Cole finally arrived, smelling of expensive scotch and his mistress's perfume. He didn't hug me. He didn't cry. Instead, he leaned over my hospital bed, pressing his knee into the mattress until my fresh stitches tore open and bled. "You embarrassed me by calling an ambulance," he hissed. "My mistress, Alycia, says you're faking it. Clean yourself up." He left me bleeding again to go announce a $10 million donation to Alycia's "groundbreaking" medical research. I stared at the TV screen, numb. The research Alycia was taking credit for? It was mine. I wrote that patent years ago under a pseudonym. They thought I was just a poor, orphan housewife who needed Cole's money to survive. They had no idea I was actually a billionaire scientist hiding my identity. I pulled the IV needle out of my arm. A drop of blood fell onto the divorce papers I had been hiding. I didn't wipe it off. I signed my name right over it. Then I walked into the bank, reactivated my dormant account with $128 million, and bought the penthouse directly overlooking Cole's house. The mourning widow is dead. The avenger is born.

Evangeline’s POV

.

“Hello”, I picked the call, still yawning. 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 send one of the our driver 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 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 his last 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 more 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 place where I have some of my memories with my mother. My relation 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 a 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 with 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 reputation is a joke to you? Do you have any idea that our reputation is going to be shattered after this incident? Everyone will laugh 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 wall come to this place?’, 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 eyes landed on a young man. No, not just handsome but deadly handsome. With his 6’ feet height, broad shoulders, well-muscled chest, flat 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 black 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 to compose 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 they come to know that being an Alpha’s daughter, I am still a human.’

“Fine! I will marry her.”, He said, looking at me.

Silence.

Alpha's Last Minute Bride

sprachi12
Evangeline was blackmailed to marry a ruthless Alpha in replacement of her sister. Anything she hated in her life was the werewolves. She had seen her father leaving her mother for another she-wolf. Why? Because her mother was a human and so is she!! Though her father loved her a lot despite her being a human, she never forgave him for the things which he did to her mother and stayed away from pack and werewolves community. Little did she know that she had to marry an Alpha just because her sister ran away from her wedding at the last moment. Daniel Grint was the ruthless, heartless and fearless Alpha. He never believed in mate or mate bond because of the circumstances he faced in his life. But he had to marry a stupid alpha daughter to strengthen his pack. He hated that idea from the beginning but he agreed for the sake of his pack. He was finding himself hard to control his anger and frustration when he came to know that his stupid bride flew away before the wedding and he was offered a human as his last minute bride, who also happened to be an Alpha’s daughter and…..his mate.

The Rebel

Suzangill
"Lower your eyes mate" He said with a hint of warning in his tone. She didn't flinch under his cold fingers coiled around her neck, instead with a smirk on her bruised lips,she looks back at him. Daring to defy him. "Submit!" He growled at her this time, frustrated with her ability to infuriate him to the extent of forcing him to hurt her. "Many have tried mate" The word mate leaving her lips sounded more of a mockery, making his grip on her neck to tighten slightly. "I am not others Vera. I am your mate. Your superior. Submit this instant!" She again smiled, managing to roll her eyes at him. "You can try . But remember,you will never succeed in it" He could end her with just a little more pressure on her neck, having the fate as many others who have dared to defy him,but something in those eyes was stopping him. He wanted to extinguish that fire in them., to see them rolling over as he thrusted inside her, to see them begining him to continue as he denied her. He wanted her to submit.Badly. Completely to him in all respects. Body and soul both. To let him be her protector,her punisher, her dominant,her lover her mate. Her everything. But little did he knew that his mate was not an ordinary Luna who happily submits to her mate's whims and needs. She was who they all popularly call as "The rebel" The mysterious protector of good and savior of women. The man who gives justice to the inequality created by men. If only they knew he was a women instead. .................................................... "The day I submit to a man will be the last day of my life mate. Vera Red was born as a rebel, will live as a rebel and will also die as a Rebel. With or without a cause"

A Child for His Best Friend

A Child for His Best Friend

Rabbit
My fiancé, Eric Fletcher, wanted to have a child for his best female friend. That woman named Laurie Stephens believed in staying single, yet she wanted a descendant to carry on her genes. Eric chose to help her by putting our engagement on hold to honor his friendship. He tossed a "Sperm Donation and Joint Custody Agreement" in front of me, his tone cold and weary. "It's just about your insecurity, right? I added your name. All the property goes to you. Satisfied now? Sign it quick! Laurie's body couldn't wait for the optimal fertility window." I signed my name on the agreement calmly, then packed my sketchbooks without a word. Eric finally let out a sigh of relief, his face showing pure ease. He stepped closer to hug me, but I dodged away. "Once the child arrived and got on the birth certificate, we would marry right away. If you wanted, we could raise him together later. I would tell him you were a mom too." I tucked away that thin agreement and watched him indifferently as he started planning the nursery with excitement. He had no idea I had already arranged with his good buddy to get our marriage license next week.
