Evangeline's POV
4 and a half years ago...
.
.

I hate this!
This whole maid attire is humiliating!
I round the corner and almost get knocked over. I gasp and freak out as the tray I was holding fell to the floor. Not sure who it was, I hurried down and started picking the stuff up and putting it back on the tray in a hurry. I look up real quick and notice it to be Fang.
Fuck. I've gotta move fast now.
"Prince James! Please forgive me I didn't mean-"
"It's alright Ms...?" He asks cutting me off.
"Evangeline." I say looking at the floor feigning shame.
"Quite alright. Carry on." He says dismissing me.
I finish piling the stuff on the tray and scurry as quickly away as I can.
Shit. I wasted too much time.
I made it to Fangs bedroom chambers after asking another maid who directed me here.
I knock on the door.
"Go away!" I hear who I assume is Lady Midnight sob out.
I push the door open and I snicker at the sight before me.
This is who I have to take to Slymethius? Some 15 year old brat? Shadow better pay me ten times more than we bargained for this!
Also, why's the creep Chen so obsessed with this chick? I grit my teeth.
"You tired of being cooped up yet princess?" I say already exhausted from the bullshit.
She pulls the blanket back from her face and I see a young girl with black hair and steel blue eyes that are red rimmed.
She's obviously been crying.
She has small features but high and defined cheekbones.
What is she? I've only seen cheekbones like that on faeries but she doesn't seem to have any wings. She's extremely pale and has fangs like a vampire.
I'm going to assume she's only adapting to where she is. She looks scared and doesn't seem to hold much confidence in herself.
Getting her where I need will be a piece of cake.
"Yes." I hear her say softly and absentmindedly.
I walk toward her with a predatory stance and smile at her.
She lightly gasps noticing my teeth and nails so I smirk at her.
"Atta girl." I say holding eye contact with her while she stares at me with curiosity.
She's beautiful.
I pull the covers off and notice she's only in undergarments and another smirk crosses my face as I watch her blush in embarrassment.
"No pajamas?" I say teasing her by raising an eyebrow.
"I...I do.." She stutters freaking out and I start laughing.
"Relax. It just makes my job easier." I hand her some weighted Slymethian clothes and she starts getting dressed. Once she was done I grab her arm and she winced.
I internally roll my eyes before raising both my arms to the sky and start chanting in Latin.
It started to thunder outside and the room itself started to fog up with smoke.
This is too loud and time is of the essence if I'm gonna get both of us out of here.
I opened my eyes for a moment and looked around as the electric blue static started to ebb and form a large portal in the middle of the room.
Welp, it's now or never.
I think before I push her into the portal.
She screams and puts her arms in front of her face protectively and she disappears into Slymethius.
The door slams open and standing there fuming is Fang.
Dammit; times up!
I run and jump into the portal and relief floods through me until I'm yanked backwards out of the portal.
I'm aggressively held by my wrists by Fang.
"Where the fuck was she sent?!" He snarled out.
Yea; no, I'm out.
My hands go through his and I shrink down to my natural size and zip out before he registers what happens.
I'm gonna die. This is the end. I had one job and I fucked up.
Uuugh!
I make my way back to the Shadows place.
"Shadow we have a problem!" I yell out once I enter.
"What the hell are you doing here? You're supposed to escort Midnight to the rebellion in Slymethius!" He says frustration clouding his features.
"Don't you think I know that asshole?! Your fuck boy brother yanked me out of the portal! I had a destination for her to land in once we both made it through but now it's going to spit her out in some random location!" I scream at him.
"Also I don't appreciate being grabbed or having to wear this stupid maid outfit!" I state stomping my foot to the ground like a brat.
Shadow pinches the bridge of his nose and heavily sighs.
"I'll deal with my brother when he comes here just go find her and report her location to me ok?! Now get the fuck out of my house!" He says gritting his teeth.
"What about my money?!" I yell as he starts pushing me out the door.
"You'll get your cut when you finish your fuckin job!"
With that, the door was slammed shut in my face.
I let out a frustrated screech and flitted off to find Lady Midnight.
***
"I found her location. A storekeeper informed me of her being at his shop. She's being watched by his apprentice right now. Any moves you want me to make?"
"No. I'll be there shortly once I finish up with Fang. He's bustin balls with what we did."
I roll my eyes at the mental image.
This girl...
Why are we risking our lives for her?
She was sent away for a reason! She's not supposed to come back so why are we relying on some child to save us?!
I need to do my own research about Lady Midnight. Something about her reminds me of someone but I can't put my finger on it.
.
.
.
I went to Aris place.
I had to clear my mind but I wasn't allowed to talk about her to him. He thinks she's dead but I know otherwise.
I'm pushed against his bedroom wall and I purr out in pleasure as he rams into me.
I've been having this on and off relationship with Ari for what feels like forever. I come over here and we have our fun. I know he just uses me for his sexual urges and I don't complain cause truth be told I caught feelings. I fear if I say anything he won't want me the way I want him. In the end, he always leaves when she comes around. I'm always gonna be his booty call so to speak. Nothing more...
He grabs my hair and yanks it back; a moan spills from my mouth. He holds my head and hair hostage against his chest as he reaches his climax.
He pulls out; turns me around and rests his head between my breasts panting heavily. I smile at him lovingly and before I can wrap my arms around his neck; he pins them above my head and looks at me with intensity.
I get turned on again at the action of him shoving his face into my neck and inhaling as if his life depends on it. He pulls back and looks at me again; his eyes flash purple.
"So...she's alive. How long have you known?" He queried still holding my hands.
"I don't know what you're talking about." I smoothly lie to him.
Again he inhales at my neck and humorously chuckles.
"The moment you walked in that door I smelled my Luna on you. It's intoxicating, to say the least." He says kissing at my collarbone.
I'm filled with disgust and rage.
"You asshole! Did you just use me cause I smelled like that girl!?" I cried out trying to get free from his hold.
He smirks at me and I glare at him.
"I always use you for your body. Did you really think I loved you? Did you think we were gonna be a thing one day!?" He says laughing humorlessly.
I start to cry at the humiliation and rejection.
"Yes! I did! I don't know why I ever wasted my time on someone like you! I hate you! I hate you!" I close my eyes and scream out.
I hate that girl!
It's because of her that I'll never get him.
I'll never be the one he loves.
I ram my leg up and knee him in his jewels; he lets go and falls down.
"I will never be yours and I see that now. I won't ever waste my time on you again!" I vow stomping out of his house.
I fly home with tears clouding my vision.
As soon as I make it home I flop on the bed and cry my eyes out.
Men are scum!
.
.

I look at the stick in my hand.
Pregnant.
That son of a bitch got me pregnant!
I cried for weeks over a man that doesn't want me and now I have his child in me.
I cry again because now I don't know what to do.
Should I tell him or keep him in the dark?
I put my head in my hands and bawl my eyes out even more.
"Don't worry my child. We don't need him." I say trying to convince myself of this lie.
