LOGINEvelynWhen 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
“A brace!” I cheer enthusiastically. “That’s so much better than the cast.”I turn toward Alexander, grinning. He looks equally as happy for me. Then his look turns reverent.“This is what we do,” he tells me. “Our mate bond heals us, and I know it will heal our kingdom, too. That’s why we should ha

EvelynIt’s been an emotional two weeks.Every second that Alexander has been working, trying to protect lycans from the growing werewolf threat, I’ve spent making memories with Emma. We didn’t talk about the fact that it’s our last two weeks together before I escape. We just train and make music an
EvelynThere are four horses tied up outside Tomson’s house: Tomson’s, my dad’s, and two I don’t recognize. I pull off into the nearby forest a little ways out from the house, leaving my horse with Emma who only barely agrees to wait behind when I remind her that she’s not safe as a lycan in werewol
