[Evelyn’s POV] Since that fateful morning when I had officially met Granda Wendy, I could easily say that things around the house had become a lot lighter. I had grown comfortable with most of the staff and they had become rather used to me being around. Granted it was a small portion of the pac
I read through her false smile almost immediately. “Alexander reached out to me to inform you that he’d like for you to go and meet him at the camps today.” My brows lifted in shock. “Really?” “Yep. He’s meeting with a few of the pack members to discuss some important matters, but he’s looking f
[Evelyn’s POV] What the actual hell is going on?! My heart was hammering in my chest, I was nearly certain that it was going to break through my rib cage. Alexander’s voice was sharp and tore through the air like a knife. I should have known that something was wrong from the moment I decided to
“Tell me,” Alexander said sternly. “Ask Nina.” Fiona’s features filled with panic. All the color, practically, drained from her face. “Alexander, I knew you were going to be busy here—you told me as much this morning before we both left the dining room.” He gave a curt nod, allowing me to cont
[Evelyn’s POV] For a brief moment, Alexander and I had fallen into a silent world of our own. Upon my showing him the necklace that once belonged to my mother, he’d become captivated with its same intricate detail and craftsmanship as the one that belonged to him. All the earlier tension between
[Evelyn’s POV] It truly took me a solid moment to realize what Alexander had just asked of me. Did he truly want me to see his soldiers? Did he mean it? Under normal, much less arranged circumstances, usually Alphas and their Lunas were allowed to attend the military review. It was a chance for
[Evelyn’s POV] “It’s mandatory that I attend this event, correct?” I asked stiffly. I hadn’t meant to sound so hesitant or awkward; however, the words seemed to have fallen out of my mouth before I could get a chance to stop them. Oliver nodded his head. “Yes, madam,” he responded curtly. “Usu
[Evelyn’s POV]It wasn’t until I left Alexander’s side that I was finally able to breathe naturally. I hadn’t realized how much anxiety I’d been holding in since this morning until my chest opened up and my hands finally stopped shaking.Although it was pleasing that I was now recognized as the pack
“Yes,” Henry said.My brows lifted. “Really?”His low chuckle caused my cheeks to flush. “Yes, Evelyn, I would happily testify.”“Thank you,” I said graciously. “The requests for the warrants are currently being written up as we speak. I’ll keep you posted about the court date when the time arrives.
[Evelyn’s POV]I had to admit, I was very glad that I had given the idea of training a second chance. It offered me a feeling I never thought I could experience. Control. Balance. A deeper sense of self-confidence.After Alexander had made that unexpected appearance at the training tent, and after h
As time went on, Evelyn was beginning to feel irritably restless and exhausted. Alexander, on the other hand, felt the arousal in his lower abdomen grow stronger.When he had her by the waist, he couldn’t keep himself from pressing his nose into the inner curve of her neck. She smelt of sweat and fl
[Third-Person’s POV]Evelyn knew that look Alexander had on his face all too well. She’d become an expert in knowing what his interests were. For some reason, he really seemed to enjoy watching her more lethal side come out. It wasn’t until more recently, that Evelyn even realized that she had that
[Third-Person’s POV]Alexander was more than glad to know that Evelyn’s training had only managed to progress from that point on. Between hearing her own personal recounts of her sessions as well as checking in with either Erik or Thomas, he was satisfied.With one less thing pressing on his mind, A
Instead of helping him up, I actually reached down and snagged one of his ankles and, with all my strength, dragged me across the room. I heard the faint chuckles of Erik and Alexander as they watched this entire scene unfold.I’m sure it looked utterly ridiculous. Thomas was more than twice the siz
[Evelyn’s POV]I glanced at the mat on the floor but didn’t move an inch.I took a deep breath and slowly let it out. “Alexander, wherever it is that you’re planning, I’m not sure—”“Will you please just trust me?” he prompted.I clenched my jaw and, against my better judgment, moved over to the mat
That same, familiar pair of hands that had a high tendency to hold me close at night, came to wrap around my waist. My head tilted to the side as Alexander gathered most of my hair onto one of my shoulders.It was hard to believe that there was once a time when he and I weren’t like this. The though
[Evelyn’s POV]I really tried not to let the whole matter bother me. I was fairly sure that I wasn’t the only person to exist that wasn’t trainable. Still, I felt horrible knowing that I had wasted Erik and Thomas’ time.Every muscle and joint in my body was aching and for what? I couldn’t even say
