Evelyn

I 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

    EveThe man let out a laugh.Not the kind that followed a joke. Not one that spilled from joy or sarcasm. It was light, hollow, drawn out for a full minute, if not longer. Long enough that I exchanged a glance with Christian, eyebrows raised. Neither of us smiled. It didn’t sit right.It didn’t belong here.When the man finally stopped, he looked straight at Christian and pointed a long, pale finger at him.“Wow,” he said, his lips curling just slightly. “You’re very perceptive.”Christian’s voice dropped lower. “Who sent that invitation?” His arms crossed tightly, shoulders stiff. “I want to speak to the person responsible.”The man didn’t miss a beat. “You already are.”Silence.My brows furrowed as I looked between them.He motioned casually toward the chairs. “Come on. Let’s sit down. Talk like civilized people.”Neither of us moved.Christian’s jaw flexed once. “No one told me shit about a therapy session. Or you.”The man shrugged. “Therapy’s just a word, Alpha. This...” he gest

    EvelynChristian didn’t say anything as he walked around the car and opened the passenger side door for me. And maybe it shouldn’t have made me feel anything, but it did. I felt like one of those women in those overly dramatized movies. The ones with ridiculous closets, overpriced handbags, and cold billionaire husbands who somehow managed to do the smallest gestures that made your stomach flutter.I slipped into the car, smoothing the fabric of my dress as I sat. He closed the door behind me with a soft click, then circled back to the driver’s seat. The engine purred to life, and we rolled out of the driveway in silence.The ride was quiet.Too quiet.The windows were down slightly, letting in the soft whistle of the wind and the faint scent of the nearby pine trees. Christian kept his eyes on the road, one hand gripping the wheel, the other resting on the gearshift. His jaw was set, and the light from the setting sun played across his features, casting golden shadows over his cheekb

    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
