Chapter 102 - Evelyn

I see the Alpha watching me, and I find his gaze almost clumsy. Like he is not used to the company of she-wolves, though I imagine after losing his mate, combined with the many years of battle he has enforced, this was not out of the realms of possibility. Was that why he was so struck with me?

“Alpha Blake, please, I would like to know now, what your reasoning was for wishing to see me.” I say nervously. “After all, you went to quite the effort to arrange what you did to see me.”

I see the corner of his mouth twitch, as if he was fighting a smile. Did he find me amusing? Or was it simply that he enjoyed seeing me feel uncomfortable? “That I did Evelyn, that I did.” He sighs. “Probably not what you expect of an old fool like me.”

“I did not say that, but I think I should be allowed the respect of an explanation.” I add bravely, knowing I am already incredibly lucky I am not locked up inside of a dungeon of his being tortured to within an inch of my life.
