[Evelyn’s POV]“I don’t want you anyway near Michael, going forward,” Alexander said sternly.His voice cut through the serene silence I’d been working in since early that morning.I was certain that the moment Micheal had left, the house itself was finally able to relax. Unfortunately, Alexander’s
[Evelyn’s POV]Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea.I wasn’t too certain how my reaching out to Wendy was going to turn out. I mean, she was Alexander’s grandmother, after all. It would have made sense if she were to side with him once I got through explaining what was happening between him and me.T
But only Alexander was the Alpha of the family. I merely figured that because like every firstborn son of an Alpha would likely inherit the title, given it was their birthright.“I can see the wheels turning in your head, dear,” Wendy chuckled. “Yes, Alexander, having been the legitimate Kingston He
[Evelyn’s POV]I felt like I was sitting on the edge of my seat, waiting for Wendy to continue. This. This was the main reason why I had come to speak with her.Out of everyone in the house, she was the one who was supposed to know Alexander the best. Well, there was also Oliver...However, I highly
[Third-Person’s POV]Alexander knew that he had inherited his lethal death glare from his grandmother. It was a look that could have been trademarked because when it was used everyone in the general vicinity knew that it meant things were about to go down.It wasn’t often that Alexander was on the r
No. So, why had I treated her like she was one of my guards? That pained, devastated look she’d given him back then was burned into the side of his brain. She looked so confused and so hurt.“Alexander, do you mean to tell me that you’re still unable to open up about your feelings? Even to your own
[Evelyn’s POV]I’d truly hoped that coming to the market would have allowed some of the stress to disappear. I was in my happy place, after all.Unfortunately, because of all the things Wendy and I had covered, I ended up slipping into an ongoing train of thought that led me down several rabbit hole
Apparently, Michael was dangerous—potentially dangerous. Yet, he never showed any signs of hostility or malice toward me. That should have been questionable in itself.As uneasy as I was, I needed to keep a cool demeanor. “Michael, hello,” I greeted.“I’d ask what brings you here, but I sort of have
“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
