ANMELDENThere’s no hiding it now. I think I’m about to see just how far I can push Alexander’s understanding.“I was there,” I nearly whisper.“You were where?” Alexander asks a little more forcefully. I can feel my wolf within wanting to submit as his tone shifts.“Outside Tomson Murray’s home.”Alexander
EvelynAfter sending Emma back in and wishing her luck in her next game of Spackle against my mom, I walk slowly to Alexander’s room. Our room.I don’t yet know how I feel about him offering for me to move back into my old room if I want to. I mean, I know I appreciate the offer. It makes me feel li

AlexanderI don’t know what to say, but I have an increasingly burning feeling that I have to see Evelyn. Sophia can’t be my mate. She’s… vile.Selene opens up her fist to reveal Emily’s ring. Except it’s not the same ring anymore.“Where’s Emily’s ring?” I snap.“This is Emily’s ring.”“No, it’s no
