[Evelyn’s POV]The personal fitting with Claire had gone off without any further issues. Once Alexander had left, much of the tension had gone with him.Claire offered me a kind, reassuring smile. “Don’t worry,” she said. “I’m going to make sure that you’re the best-looking Luna at that gathering.”
I’m not giving up. I have to find something that’s going to help me. My eyes were tired and I had no idea how long I’d been hauled in that part of the house. All I knew was that the sun had already set beneath the horizon and I was purely exhausted.My vision was becoming too blurry to focus and se
[Third-Person’s POV]Alexander couldn’t exactly put his feelings into words at that moment. As he gazed down at the delicate form of his Luna, he was struck with several conflicting emotions.He was still, somewhat, angry at her for being so neglectful toward her own needs. But that anger melded int
He left the library behind and headed back to the bedroom. Only once did Evelyn move. She gently stretched her muscles out before curling back into Alexander’s warm, secure embrace. A small smile threatened to curve the corner of his mouth.When they entered the room, he stopped. The Alpha was then
[Evelyn’s POV]Let’s just get this nonsense over with.It was the day of the Luna gathering and I had absolutely no desire to even get out of bed. Of course, Alexander was already up and gone by the time my eyes fully opened. It was times like this where I could really use a few words of support.I
She beamed under the praise and turned to reach into one of the smaller trunks. “Just one last thing and then you’ll be perfect.”My bottom lip trembled in shock as I beheld the large emerald stone attached to a silver chain. She circled around me to properly adjust the necklace around my neck. Afte
[Evelyn’s POV]No. No. No. No, this can not be happening. I had somehow managed to get through the dressing process of this whole ordeal and actually convinced myself that everything was going to be okay. I was being draped in jewels that, no doubt, cost more than a luxury home. I was wearing a dre
[Third-Person’s POV]As it would seem, Evelyn wasn’t the only Luna who was facing ongoing doubts and troubles within her new pack. Her Stepsister, Samantha, was currently facing her own list of personal issues that she would have never foreseen.This was not supposed to happen. This wasn’t the life
“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
