He looks up then, making sure his words had their intended effect. Our gazes meet, and
EvelynWhen I wake up the next morning, I want to cry at the sight of Alexander sleeping peacefully next to me. Any amount of time spent thinking I might never see him again is too much, and I’m still just so relieved I didn’t die falling off that cliff.That Lucas didn’t kill me for trying to escap

EvelynOn the day I’m supposed to meet my dad, one week after Alpha Jackson’s visit where he secretly passed me the note, Emma joins breakfast with me and Alexander, uninvited and interrupting our flirtation. She pouts about not getting any time with me and complains that Alexander is being selfish
EvelynI confided in Emma after Alexander left to investigate the guards who were killed. It’s too dangerous with the rebel werewolves targeting me to use Alexander’s absence to escape, so I was stuck sitting in his room, worrying for his safety.Emma assured me he would be okay, but I could tell sh
AlexanderMarcel is terrified.I do my best to block out his thoughts, though it’s nearly as taxing to actively not pay attention to his thoughts as it is to have them swirling in my brain.
