[Third-Person’s POV]Alexander had diligently read over the messages he’d received from Wendy, updating him on the most recent events with Evelyn and her family. Aside from chuckling at the comments his grandmother gave regarding the uncouth behavior of his in-laws, Alexander was exceedingly worried
[Evelyn’s POV]A toxically venomous feeling seeped through me.Of course...Why hadn’t I considered it sooner? I guess part of me didn’t want to believe that people were capable of such horrible things. I knew it sounded naive but from my own experiences, nothing had ever excelled further than petty
A gentle smile curved her lips. “I bet she had no belief that the two of you would have made your marriage work out in the end,” she said with a smug tugging at the corner of her mouth.“You can best believe that,” I said with a laugh. “No doubt, she had high hopes that I would end up miserable.”We
[Third-Person’s POV]Michael was a man who felt like he’d just hit the lottery.The morning he was due to head to Kingston Manor, he did it with the most energy he’d felt in months. Hell, he was practically buzzing with eagerness. He couldn’t wait to step into his role as Alpha.Even if it was only
Michael tried to hold back a spiteful sneer. Surely, they all knew that he’d be filling in for Alexander for a little while. That being the case, why weren’t they showing the proper consideration for his respected title?Well, it’s obvious that the first thing I’m going to need to do as Alpha is tea
[Evelyn’s POV]“Are you sure you’ll be alright by yourself?” Wendy asked for the third time.I tried to put on the most realistic-looking smile I could muster.“I promise, I’ll be fine,” I told her. “Don’t worry about me, okay? I’ll be busy taking care of Edward and chances are that no one will even
[Third-Person’s POV]Unlike her husband, Isabella was well aware of the situation that was unfolding in front of all of them. She didn’t know who this Michael character was, nor did she really care. But ever since Evelyn showed up and began derailing her plans to get rid of Edward, she’d been lookin
Having spoken to one of the managers at the junkyard, the two of them were directed to a nearby mechanic shop. At first, neither of them understood the relevance of taking the trip over there. However, the old man was rather insistent on the matter.“Trust me,” he’d said. “The answers you’re looking
“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
