Chapter 56
Evelyn’s POV
I slammed the door shut and leaned on it. My heart was pounding so hard against my chest, but above all, I felt extremely angry. How dare he question my honesty? I even tried to explain to him, and yet he was so fast to rush to conclusions.
I went straight to my bed and fell hard on it.
There were benefits of being mated, for one your room will be elevated to something worthwhile. I realized just how long I hadn’t slept in here. I had spent the nights with Damon, locked in his arms, or pinned beneath him, or above him.
My face suddenly felt so hot as I recalled our intimate actions. My chest tightened.
Damn, fighting does have its own disadvantages. I still can’t believe that I am going to sleep without my mate. This was just like the nights before our mating ceremony, were you feel your mate, desire your mate, and yet you can’t as much as go near to your mate until after the ceremony.
I growled, picking up a pillow and screaming into it. No matter how much I want to be nested in his embrace, I won’t. I am angry with him.
The room was clean thanks to the cleaners who did a good job even in my absence, but the sleep refused to come. I tossed and turned in bed until i slowly drifted.
The knock came again, harder than the last time. I jerked up, fully awake. So, it wasn’t a dream? Someone was indeed knocking on my door.
I ranked my hand through my hair and gently got out of bed. My eyes were a bit too weak, and I still can’t get myself to move properly yet, I was that sleepy. But I somehow managed to get to the door without falling on my face.
“For a moment I wondered if you were dead.” Lily’s voice was unmistakable as she pushed her way past me. “What happened, why are you still sleeping this late?”
I yawned and stretched. “I couldn’t sleep last night. What time is it?”
Lily gave me a one over. “It’s twelve pm dummy, you overslept for someone who is travelling to a far pack.”
My eyes widened in surprise. I slept till 12, Jesus.
“You need to dress up now. Your mate sent me to fetch you. Care to tell me why you are sleeping here tonight?” She was already rummuring through my things.
Gosh, I didn’t even remember to pack. “We fought.” I said blankly as I headed for a bath. I was going to see him, move to a new place where I knew only him. I wouldn’t even get to see Lily and Lucien again.
My throat suddenly felt too dry, and my heart tightened. I turned on the shower, hoping it will wash away the sadness that suddenly began to grip me.
“Hey, get out of there. We don’t have all day.” Lily’s voice called out from my room. The sound of her voice filled me up with so many emotions that I couldn’t quite explain, I felt terrible.
I obeyed her anyway, pulling a robe over my body as I headed out of the bathroom. She seemed so focused picking out clothes for me.
“Alpha Damon already bought more clothing for you, he asked if you will want to buy anything else. Well, that was hours ago technically.” She said with an eye roll, that was instantly backed up with a smile.
I stood there staring at her. “He did?” I don’t know how to feel about that, but I guess it is for good anyway.
“Of course, he did. Now sit let’s dress you up. We don’t want to keep our dearest Alpha mate waiting.” She was being sarcastic, but it worked, because I found my lips curving into a smile.
She gave me a dress which I put on immediately, and she helped me zip It up. “So will you tell me what happened?” She asked casually, handing me my underwear.
I shrugged, putting it on. “What can I say, Seth happened.”
Lily’s face turned cold instantly. “That son of a bitch, did he try to touch you again, I swear I will break off his hands if he lays a finger on you.”
I couldn’t help but giggle. It was still amusing how fearlessly she sounded right now. Even though she was a weaker wolf, she was talking about breaking Seth’s fingers.
“He is still your Alpha’s son.” I reminded her, as I sat down on the dressing chair while she got ready to do my makeup.
She rolled her eyes. “I wish he would just die. But seriously, what happened? What did he do?” She asked as he began to touch up my face. She had said it countless times that I had a flawless face, but yet she insisted on doing my makeup for this trip. Who am I to refuse?
I smiled at her. “He did it again, saying he wanted me back and stuff like that. Damon walked in on us and misunderstood.”
She sighed. “I think its normal. Did he apologize?”
I nodded. “Yeah, but I don’t think he trusts me enough.”
Lily smiled as she came to stand before me. “Eve, trust is a big word. You might be mates, but you are just meeting out. Again, any man who doesn’t get jealous when your mate is around you, doesn’t love you. Yeah, you are ready now. You look so beautiful.”
I could hear the excitement in her voice. I stared back at the image of myself from the mirror, and I smiled. “Yeah, the makeup is nice.”
I stood up to face her, for the first time the emotions began to wear off on me. Who was going to force me to do my makeup on important events, and tell me all the most recent gist? My eyes wailed up with tears.
“I will miss you?” The tear was almost falling now.
Lily’s face brightened. “Oh that’s so sweet. Wait, you are not allowed to cry, you are going to spoil the makeup. I am coming with you anyway, so why cry.”
My eyes widened. “Really?”
