“How has she been?” I asked Mira, the maid assigned to Evelyn.
Mira gulped heavily, her eyes looking everywhere but me. I couldn’t even find it in myself to tell her to relax. “She has been busy with work, Alph
Evelyn’s POV“Hell no!” Alex blurted when I explained my idea to him.“Why not?” I blinked in surprise. I didn’t even think he would try to argue that with me.He ruffled his hair a couple of times before pacing the dimly lit space back and forth. “It is too risky. How do we move something as huge as that into the packhouse without anyone knowing? Also don’t you think we can be accused wrongly if things go south?”“I am quite stunned by how worried you are about being found out rather than letting a criminal who want
Evelyn’s POV“Gerald!” I ran into his arms in excitement and he lifted me off the ground twirling me around. I gasped for breath when he eventually put me down. “Oh my goodness! I can’t believe you are here.”“Well, someone had to come save your drowning ass.” He joked.I punched him lightly on the shoulder. “Don’t get ahead of yourself. How was the journey? I hope you all are settled?”“Yeah, we did our best.”&l
Alexander’s POV“How has she been?” I asked Mira, the maid assigned to Evelyn.Mira gulped heavily, her eyes looking everywhere but me. I couldn’t even find it in myself to tell her to relax. “She has been busy with work, Alpha.”“That’s all? No complaints of being sick or anything like that?”“Not at all. She is quite strong.”I sighed, rubbing the side of my head. “Alright, you can go. Wait…” I called bac
Evelyn’s POV“Put her down!” Alex snarled at Peter.Scarlett let out a shrilled cry, collapsing against Alex. “Evelyn is at it again. She is throwing her weight around and harassing me. Including the poor guards that are still hurting.” She wailed.“What?” He blurted stomping towards me. I sat still not moving a muscle as he got closer. “Evelyn what is this about? You said you were going to investigate the site. Why are you here?”I inhaled deeply, “I needed to ask some questions after the site inspection.”
Evelyn’s POV“I will need to speak to those guards to give a detailed account of what happened during the attack. Someone must have noticed something.” I said to Peter just as we were returning from the site inspection.He bobbed his head in response, “Do you intend to speak to everyone at once or should we split?”“No, I want to speak to each one of them. That way I can get their different opinions. Who knows if their testaments might differ?”“You are right, my lady,” Peter replied, pausing abruptly.
Alexander’s POV“A new squad?” I blurted in surprise.Evelyn nodded with a serious expression. “Yes.”“People that nobody knows?” Marcus chipped in.She bobbed her head firmly. “Exactly. We will carry out our investigation among the three of us, but we have to note that it is not easy to do something like this all alone. We need ears everywhere and if they are guards that are already known here it might be hard to get the one who would stay true to the mission. We need men whose personality is subtle but intimidating at the same time.
Evelyn’s POVI have never really headed a strategic meeting before. Back at home, during my training, I act as an observer in the meeting halls. Just listening in, watching Cassian and my father control the room. Everyone is forced to listen. But the situation is different, I am expected to be the
Evelyn’s POV “Are you okay?” Cassian asked quietly, his voice cutting through the stunned silence of the hall as his silver eyes searched my face.I drew a steady breath, the adrenaline still thrumming in my veins. “Yes,” I said, my tone calm and certain. “I’m fine.”Cassian nodded once, then turn
Evelyn’s POVScarlett recovered from the shattered glass quickly, her shock twisting into a venomous smile as the hall's attention settled on us."Well," she said, voice loud enough to carry, "look who decided to play dress-up. Still clinging to delusions of grandeur, Evelyn?"I didn't flinch. "And
Evelyn’s POVIn six months, I had compressed what most heirs took a year—or longer—to master.I had trained day and night, including strategy sessions, patrols and grueling sparring matches that left my muscles aching. But it was worth the effort, because I had transformed. I was no longer the qu
