[Third-Person’s POV]Poor Oliver looked as though he was going to have a heart attack. The moment he’d admitted to what had been uncovered, he realized that he and his boss weren’t the only ones in the room. Standing off to the side, was a rather distraught-looking Evelyn.Oh God, he thought. Had he
Alexander let out a sigh and held a look of serious conflict in his eyes.[Evelyn’s POV]While I was glad I took the opportunity to clear the air with Oliver, I now needed to address the major issues at hand. I was truly enthusiastic and grateful that Alexander was taking all of what we discussed ea
[Evelyn’s POV]“Now, I want you to remember this, alright? Anything that I say and do—none of it is true,” Alexander said to me.He’d taken my hands into his and held me close. I felt the inexplicable heat course through my body as he brushed the pads of his thumbs over my blush-stained cheeks.“All
He curled a brow and kept his stoic resolve in place. “I’m not lifting the travel ban on you,” he said pointedly.I narrowed my eyes and spoke with clear indignation. “I would be literally going from one house to another. Think of it as trading one prison for another,” I hissed.Alexander’s lip curl
[Third-Person’s POV]Alexander thought it was going to be sick. It was bad enough he had to witness Michael practically fawning over Evelyn from the side. But he truly thought that he had hurt her just before she’d stormed out of the office.He kept making it a point to tell her that none of what he
[Evelyn’s POV]My Evelyn, I hope that when you are reading this you are safely on your way back to your family’s pack. You needed to know, from me, that I could not be more impressed and proud of the act you were able to display back at my office. You make me realize just how devoted and committed
...I hope that whatever is going on with your brother can be mended. It’s not as though I’m looking for you to rush through things, but it’s important that you know I’ll be thinking of you constantly while you’re gone. ...Needless to say, I’m not happy with the way things ended between us when you
[Evelyn’s POV]Wendy was kind enough to make sure I looked put back together by the time the car pulled up to the house. What I noticed immediately was that, unlike the last time I paid my family a visit, I wasn’t greeted at the door by anyone other than the staff.This time, however, both Leonard a
“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
