[Third-Person’s POV]Evelyn felt her heart drop for a split second, believing she had overstepped some kind of boundary. She found herself following an impulse she didn't know she had. She knew she cared for Alexander but only to the furthest extent he would allow.After all, the two of them had lit
“How is your husband?” “How is your new pack?”“Oh my, you look incredible! Are those new clothes?”Yes, as part of my departure, I made sure that I was dressed like the noblewoman I was made to appear as. With Alexander’s instructive voice in the back of my mind, I moved forward with confidence an
[Evelyn’s POV]“It’s good to see that you’ve finally come into yourself...I take it that you and Alexander were able to make the marriage work.”My hands curled into tight fists as a wave of anger coursed through me. It was almost enough to make me throw away all the etiquette lessons I spent countl
[Evelyn’s POV]Who the fuck does he think he is?!It had taken all the self-restraint in my body to not tear Liam apart. There was so much that needed to be said but why bother?Had I stuck around to hear more of his ridiculous remarks about Alexander and our relationship, I would have surely lost m
[Third-Person’s POV]For what it was worth in the end, Fiona was glad to be back at Kingston Hall. Having been temporarily exiled from Alexander’s pack came with a lot more negative repercussions than she would have imagined.Word had gotten out about her acts against Evelyn and many of the other pa
[Evelyn’s POV]I honestly couldn’t believe how popular the tea mixture had become. When I think about how it all started out, by giving some of it to Alexander’s Grandmother to help her feel better, I never imagined that it would have led to such a booming success.I was glad that I was helping ever
[Third-Person’s POV]After Oliver had informed the staff of what they needed to do, he insisted on joining Alexander on his venture outside toward the greenhouse. The feeling he initially had in his stomach had not let up once. At times like this, he truly felt like the wheelchair was purposely slow
Not that he needed to provide some kind of excuse for himself, but this was purely medical what was happening. He needed to get her out of her sweat-soaked clothes and into the steaming bath so that her body temperature would rise back to its normal level.Once everyone else left, Alexander got to w
“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
