Lost One's Vengeance

Episode 7

Ange's P.O.V

"Where?" I asked impulsively in no time, showing that I was not just curious to know where exactly he needed me to accompany him with, but surprised as well finding that among all he was asking me to join him, as my instantly widened eyes made it very clear to Trevor without any effort.

"Well, it is kind of a party though, where I want you to go along with me as my partner, if you do not mind. But, more than the party there is something else I am looking forward to tonight." Trevor replied while I saw how lots of worries filled his ever sparkling eyes in an instant, making them stern for the time being. I realised that tonight might be a very important night for him as he seemed concerned for some reason without any doubt.

"If you do not mind, may I ask you what is the thing that is bothering you, Trevor? Is everything alright? With the pack, or you?" I could not help my anxiety any further and ended up asking, even though I was not at all sure if he will choose to answer me or not, still I tried, cause I am always like this, I guess.

"Actually there is a lot of things going on with the whole world right now or you can say for the last one year. You might have not looked into all those little changes in our werewolves' world recently as you were going through your own problematic life on your own, so probably you do not know much, but our world is changing, Ange. Everything is different now, and I am worried about those changes, that is all." Trevor answered, trying to make me understand his concerns but the creases on his forehead did not reduce at all, as whatever he just told me increased his uneasiness even more with each passing time.

"I did not understand, Trevor. What happened last year?" I asked again, causing Trevor to turn his face only to look into my eyes finally, as his fully concerned eyes were wandering around nowhere but the void until now. But, soon he fixed his gaze on me just before he began with a deep sigh,

"Well, it is a long story, but I am not sure whether it is true or just a man-made story, cause just like others I have also heard about all those details from people. But tonight we all will get to know all about it, I guess." Trevor paused for a while, but even before he could continue, I could not hold back my curiosity and asked him in an instant,

"What is it, Trevor?" I did not know why, but my heart kept gaining pace without any reason right at this moment, which was indeed making me more than impatient, and at this moment all I wanted was for Trevor to keep saying the rest of whatever he got to say.

"Well, there is a new king now." Just when he uttered his words my heart skipped a beat, causing me to get more than confused for my reaction as such. No matter what, I just could not find any reason for me to react this way, even when my heart was not at all ready to listen to my mind at all.

Anyway,

"What King? What do you mean to say?" I asked in an instant.

"King of all the werewolves in the entire world of our supernatural existence. Yes, he is the King of all the alphas as well. Do you know what that means? That means, all the packs of each and every single werewolf around the whole world is now under his claws and is controlled only by him as the very Almighty. His words are like the ultimate verdict. And most of all, these changes started to occur over a very short span of a year only, which has definitely started showing its huge impacts from last year and not only that but even now, as I said, the world of us is changing, Ange. And, of course, I am worried as an alpha. I am worried for my dear ones.

Cause, if everything goes on like this way, we might have to lose the control over our own pack. Because, before it was just the alphas who used to own their individual packs and there was the council only to bound all of us by certain rules to balance the peace in the world of supernatural, but now you can say that the King is the almighty. His words are the last words, and we all must abide by his orders."

Trevor stopped and there was no denying of the fact that I was clearly seeing so much concern and adoration for me in those two beautiful eyes which was not at all same as he would feel for any fellow members of his pack. There was indeed something more to it as I can feel for sure. Cause the broad warm palm of his hand was saying all about his feelings towards me ever so loudly, which was already busy caressing my cheeks without any of our consciousness.

I shivered all of a sudden.

No, not because of Trevor, but for some mysterious reason as I knew about whom I was thinking right at the moment.

Yes, the king of kings.

I wondered how he is like and why only the mention of his existence was enough to make me shiver like never before. So, it was obvious that I got more than curious internally even when I decided not to show the newly raised massive tornado which had already started to make a havoc out of my heart.

"And he is coming tonight, am I right? You are going to the party to meet the King of kings. Isn't it?" I could not help but utter without thinking much as my mind was busy running to somewhere else in these moments.

"Yes. Not just me, but all the alphas of this whole region has to be present at tonight's party as per the royal summon. And I am planning to propose a treaty during our meeting. Cause, no matter what, I will never allow my pack to be mistreated by some unworthy ruler if he is one such. And I will not let anyone put a single finger on you as well, Ange, at any cost. I promise, I will protect you till my last breath." His voice started getting deeper as his eyes held some other kind of emotions in them without much of his realisation. As if he wanted to say something more, but he was also trying hard to hold those words back, keeping them safe at the bottom of his heart, away from anyone's knowledge, even from me.

But little did he knew, that each and every single second right now had already started to betray him as nothing was able to stay hidden from my eyes anymore. Even so, I could clearly see how Trevor feels for me, just as I have always wished to happen, though secretly, but somehow something strange was holding me back hard, and was saying to me ever so loudly not to give in to this moment, no matter how much I was willing to do.

"I know." It was all I could say for now, as I was really struggling with all those different emotions that I was having right now, quite mysteriously.

And just when I said those words, a soft peck of lips touched my forehead in no time, in order to assure me that there was nothing for me to worry about, when someone like him was there beside me, always.

But even when I wanted to but I could not tell him what kind of anxiety I kept feeling inside me, cause it was utterly unfamiliar to me as well.

So, for now, I decided to stay quiet until tonight's party.

"I have to go to work now." I said as soon as I took a step back from Trevor.

"And about Eva, you do not have to look after her today, cause I know you are going to be busy the whole day. So, I am taking her with me. Do not worry. Okay?" I said further without giving Trevor any time to object.

And this time he did not argue and let me go.

After taking leave from Alpha Trevor from the morning training session, I went back to my house with Eva only to get busy to get ready for my work, as soon as possible.

Even when I tried to divert my mind from whatever I heard this morning and focused on my day, somewhere from deep inside my heart I knew very well that tonight something is going to happen for sure.

And all I have to do is to wait.

But little did I knew that I was going to encounter something strange even before I could anticipate, even before tonight's party, when I was expecting something like that to happen the least, for which I was not at all ready.

You must be wondering what I am talking about? Right?

Well,

Let me tell you exactly what happened.

So,

I was at the cafe for which I was assigned as the manager by one of Trevor's friends because of his recommendation and I was working during the hour as the rush was increasing at that time, leaving me very little time to keep an attentive eye on my daughter Eva, who was busy playing on her own.

As I knew that the workers of the cafe are very friendly and likes Eva to be around them, so I let her play alone cause I knew that they will watch Eva for me, if I went busy.

So, shaking my mind off all my worries, I got to work.

Hours kept passing like seconds, within the blinks of an eye, and I had no time to look around.

All of a sudden, only a sound of something falling on the ground made my mind alert in an instant, amidst my busy day, and caused me to look around with a lot of concern, only to find that it was no one but Eva who was lying on the floor, and was trying to get up.

Seeing Eva like this my heart ached as I found myself somehow guilty of leaving her on her own when she does not even know how to walk properly.

At this moment, I understood how it feels to be a single mother, but even when I realised all these, I was helpless.

"Momma..." Those innocent eyes of my one-year-old daughter welled up right after she fell on the ground, as she was trying to walk on her own, attempting to come to me.

I had to leave her alone to play by herself, cause I needed to work for the sake of living, as there was no one to look after both of us. Though she was always a strong pup from her birth, still how can I ever forget that she is just one year old who needed the love and care the most.

Yes, she is like the apple of my eye.

I was about to go to her to lift her up from the floor to give a warm hug, so that she becomes happy once again, but it seemed I could not.

Cause even before I could hold her, two muscular hands lifted my daughter up only to hold her tight close to his chest, carefully. She was looking so tiny in his arms, but the most important question was that who is he?

He seemed familiar somehow, but I am sure that I have never seen him before.

"Momma...Dadda?" Eva, my little daughter babbled, all of a sudden.

"No. No. He is not. Come here." I stretched my hands to take Eva back, but the man did not let me.

Instead, he chose to say something strange,

"I thought I have lost you, Emm. Both of you."

"I am sorry, but you might have mistaken, I am not Emm. I am Ange."
