Hey everyone!
Before you read this chapter, please know it's not one of my best and I'm pretty unimpressed with it. Please don't judge me!
Hope you still enjoy it- and yes I know its really short, but in all honesty its just a filler chapter really.
Please continue to show your support for Eve, you amazing people!
I love you all.
Love Rose x
"Fucks sake Eve, you took your bloody time didn't you." Alpha Stone groans, his lips moving against the nape of my neck, sending tingles throughout my body.
I smile, just reveling in the comfort of being in his arms, his chiseled body hard against mine, his warmth surrounding me.
I pulled away slightly, still in his arms, just enough to look him in the eyes.
"You knew I would come back?" I ask my eyebrows furrowed.
"When I left, I was sure you would be back but then when you didn't, I'll be honest Eve you had me scared out of my mind."
"You're the one that left." I whisper, laying my head back onto his shoulder. I felt his hands tighten around me.
"Believe me, the moment I got back I had a mind to go back, throw you over my shoulders and bring you back with me, whether you wanted it or not."
The words left my mouth before I could stop them,? "So why didn't you?"
Alpha Stones the one that pulls away this time, he tries hard to conceal the surprise in his eyes.
"I had enough of forcing you into decisions. I wanted you to decide for yourself this time."
"That's not fair though," I reply, locking my eyes with his, "you forced me into choosing you or my family."
Alpha Stone smirks, the action making my heart pound faster. I was sure he could hear the change in my heart rate because his smirk just widened.
"You're so bloody infuriating," he mutters burying his face back into my neck, "you always have to have the last word."
I can't help but laugh.

My parents didn't stay.
In fact it was only after, Alpha Stone had brought be up to my room and laid me on the bed that I realised I had completely forgotten about my parents.
"My parents!" I exclaim, sitting up suddenly.
Alpha Stone raises an eyebrow.
"Oh so now you think about them?"
I look at him in confusion. "What do you mean?" I ask.
"They left the moment they saw me." Alpha Stone explains and I can't help the sinking feeling in my chest.
"I don't think your father's a huge fan of me." He adds with a humourless smile.
I wrap my arms around my body as I watched him sit down on the bed, the mattress dipping under his weight. I can see it in his eyes, the fact that my father doesn't like him makes him unsettled.
"I'm sorry" I whisper, not knowing what else to say.
His attention turns back to me, his eyes trained on my face. There's an expression on his face that I haven't seen before.
Regret.
"No Eve- I'm sorry." He looks away and runs a hand through his dark hair, "I screwed this all up. I hurt you and pushed you away and-" He stops mid sentence, too many emotions crowding his face, yet no words strong enough to express them.
"I'm just sorry." he finally settles on, his sincerity so strong in those three words than anything else he would have ever said.
I reach over, my hands intertwining with his. I realise this time I'm the one initiating all the physical contact.
"So am I." I whisper, when his eyes look up from out intertwined fingers to my face.
"Shall we start fresh- a clean slate?" I ask and a smile blossoms on his gorgeous face. Not a smirk, not a half hearted grin, but a proper teeth
showing, cheek splitting smile which makes my heart thump so abnormally I wonder if I'm having a heart attack.
"I would like that," he replies, "I would really really like that."

I was annoyed. Like super annoyed.
I had practically risked my life, succumbing to indescribable pain to make my way back to him and he had left me alone, telling me how I needed to sleep.
I rolled around in my bed, feeling uncomfortable. Now that I was within walking range to him, the pain and mental anguish had all disappeared, but it was now replaced with yearning. I was beyond embarrassed to admit it, but i was yearning for him.
I wanted to be held like he did before. To be in his strong, muscly arms, against his rock hard che-
Oh get a bloody grip Eve!
I sit up, throwing the comforter off my body, feeling all hot and bothered.
What had he said before?
That he wouldn't leave me. That he would throw me over his shoulders and bring me back with him- yeah right. The bloody idiot could talk the talk but hasn't been able to walk the bloody walk yet.
I jump out of bed and start to pace around the bed. Why was I so desperate for the man? Only a few weeks ago I couldn't stand him and now I couldn't stop thinking about him.
I suddenly remember Carla's words and they play in my mind.
'-sooner or later you will be madly and completely in love with the guy and you honey, you'll have no control over it.'
Is this what she was talking about? Surely I hadn't already fallen for him?
I pondered the thought for a few moments and finally decided while no, I hadn't fallen for the Alpha Stone, I had definitely fallen for his body.
The same body I was desperately thinking about. The same body I wanted to be snuggled up next to.
Please Eve, I beg myself, don't you dare, I threaten myself as I reach for my door handle and push it open. I could practically feel the mate bond pull me closer towards Alpha Stones room.
God Eve, have some dignity!
My own warnings falls on empty ears and I end up taking delicate steps towards the room at the other end of the corridor.
The moment my small hands wrap around his door handle, I could hardly hear anything over the erratic pounding of my own heart in my ears.
Last chanc-
I pushed the door open and stepped in, not even allowing my conscience to encourage me to reconsider my actions.
The man in question who was making me act in deranged ways was already sat on the edge of his bed, his eyes dark with hidden intentions as I closed the door gently behind me. I could see his fingers fisted into his bedsheets beside him.
"Eve." He growled lowly, there was a clear warning in his eyes.
But I ignored it. Of course I did- in fact I practically kicked it to the side with no regard when the next few words slipped from my mouth.
"Zac," I whispered, my voice unintentionally husky, "please can i sleep with you?"
Oh good god! What is Eve up to?
