Evelyn

(Christians Blackwood's penthouse, Nevada)

No.

No. No. No.

Absolutely the fuck not.

I pressed my back against the wall, staring at the marble-tiled floor like it had personally offended me. The soft hum of the penthouse, air-conditioning, distant traffic, the rhythmic tick of a minimalistic clock, only made the pounding of my heart feel louder. Like it wanted to jump out of my chest and expose the feelings I was trying to bury six feet under.

I wasn’t falling for Christian Blackwood. I couldn’t be. That’d be insane. Wrong. Reckless.

“I’m just hormonal,” I whispered to myself, almost like a prayer. “Pregnancy hormones. That’s all it is.”

But deep down, I knew I was lying to myself. Hormones didn’t explain the flutter in my chest every time he looked at me with that wolfish smirk. They didn’t explain why I remembered the feel of his lips like a vivid fucking tattoo burned into my soul. Or the way my knees wobbled like a newborn deer every time he stood too close.

    EvelynI turned off the faucet. The silence in the bathroom was deafening now, just the slow drip-drip of water off my elbows as I stood motionless. The fog on the mirror had grown thick, like a white veil, and I wiped it away with the side of my hand.My reflection stared back, eyes darker than before. Not from the lighting.From the truth.From the sorrow I now understood better.I wrapped a towel around myself and stepped out of the shower, but my mind never left that little boy who had to grow up too fast, who learned early that no one was coming to save him.That boy became Christian Blackwood.And for some reason, the thought made my heart ache more than I expected.--By the time I finally stepped out of the shower, the bathroom felt like a sauna, thick with steam clinging to the mirror and the walls. My skin was flushed, both from the heat and… well, not just the heat.I grabbed the soft towel hanging off the rack and wrapped it around my dripping hair, squeezing it gently, le

    EvelynChristian had been quiet for a little too long. He sat there on the edge of my bed, elbows on his knees, hands clasped in front of him like he was bracing for a war that hadn’t even begun. The silence was thick, but not heavy. It was... strange. Not the usual kind that came with tension or anger. More like the kind you get after ripping off a bandage and staring at the wound underneath, raw and healing.Then he let out a breath. Not just any breath, one of those exaggerated, dramatic exhales that rattled through the chest like he was trying to shake off every feeling in his body. And then, as if that wasn’t theatrical enough, he blew a damn raspberry.I blinked, staring at him.“Oh no,” I said, eyes narrowing. “I want the other Christian back. This one sucks.”His expression didn’t change, not one bit. Stone-faced. The man might as well have been carved from marble.“You’re ignoring me?” I asked, pretending to be scandalized.Still nothing.I grinned and nudged him lightly with

    Evelyn’s POVI didn’t expect to feel anything for him. Not sympathy. Not guilt. And definitely not the ache blooming somewhere in my chest as I watched Christian sit there, staring blankly at the nursery wall like he wasn’t really seeing it.But I did. I felt sorry for him.He looked… human.No smug smirk. No cold dominance in his tone. No clever insult waiting to sting me. Just a man sitting in the quiet of a room he built for children that never came.I shifted my weight awkwardly, unsure of what to do with my hands or with myself. Should I say something? Comfort him? Hug him?God, no. Hugging Christian Blackwood was a one-way ticket to emotional disaster, and knowing my overactive imagination, the second my arms wrapped around that broad, muscled torso, I’d probably forget who I was. My intrusive thoughts would spiral into places I was desperately trying to avoid.Still, it didn’t feel right to just stand there like a statue while he drowned silently in his thoughts.So instead, I

    Evelyn’s POVChristian stepped forward without saying another word, brushing past me like I was a ghost floating in his hallway instead of a six-weeks-pregnant she-wolf caught in the middle of a thousand emotions. He didn’t speak, didn’t explain, didn’t even look at me. He simply walked to the photo and lifted it from its place on the wall with a quiet reverence that made my throat tighten.He stared at it for a beat too long.Then, with a slow sigh, he raised the edge of his black sleeve and gently wiped the thin layer of dust from the glass, his movements oddly tender, like he was brushing the hair away from someone’s face.I felt it in my gut, whoever this woman was, she mattered.And that alone… it made something ugly crawl beneath my ribs.He didn’t linger. After he was satisfied with how clean the glass was, he placed the photo carefully back on its hook, aligning it perfectly before stepping back.Then he turned toward the door, clearly ready to walk out like nothing had happen

    EvelynA full nursery.And not just some half-assed arrangement either. It was perfect. Immaculate. Soft white walls with a delicate gray trim. A crib made of dark wood with a pale cream canopy draped overhead like a fairytale tent. A plush rocking chair sat in the corner, facing a huge window that let in just enough light to paint the floor gold. Shelves lined one wall, already stocked with picture books, tiny toys, and stuffed animals so soft I wanted to cry.And on the far wall… a framed drawing. Simple. Childlike.A wolf. A baby. A full moon.It was like the universe paused around me, holding its breath.I didn’t even realize I was touching my belly until I looked down. My hand was resting there, gentle, protective.My brain scrambled for explanations. Christian never said anything about this. This wasn’t some spur-of-the-moment thing. This room had been planned. Thought out. Loved into existence.And the lavender?It was coming from a small diffuser on a side table beside the cri
