[Third-Person’s POV]Alexander felt himself stuck at a crossroads of some sort.While he’d been patiently compiling all of the found evidence he intended to use against Michael in court, there was another issue that was due to rear its ugly head...Why hadn’t there been any public announcement over
“As soon as I got the motorcycle information, I sent out a few men around to search for it.”“Was it in a junkyard like the car was?” he asked.The Beta shook his head. “Shockingly enough, we traced it back to a local mechanic in town. He’s currently trying to restore it. We asked him if he knew any
[Evelyn’s POV]I tried to keep my anxiety down to a tolerable level as I followed closely behind Oliver. I couldn’t begin to imagine what the situation was that could possibly involve Edward. If everything was fine with his health and treatments, then what could possibly be so important that Alexand
[Third-Person’s POV]Alexander stared at his wife in utter shock.At first, he seriously thought he’d misheard Evelyn’s request. Then again, it wasn’t much of a request as it was a forward demand. Her stance remained unwavering as she waited for him to hand over the key to the one place in the house
“I wasn't planning on it,” she said tightly. This time, he narrowed his eyes at her sudden assertive tone. “Two. I plan on being present while this conversation happens.”Evelyn raised a brow and gave a look that spurred on a new argument, but Alexander was quick to defuse the tension.“I will keep
[Evelyn’s POV]“Hello, Michael.”My voice echoed off the stone walls, causing the figure in front of me to go stiff. From where I was standing, Michael was currently hunched over on a small cot with his back facing me.I wasn’t sure what I expected when he began to move around and face me. From what
[Third-Person’s POV]Alexander had been extremely wary of Evelyn for the remainder of the day.He’d overheard most if not all of her speech to Michael down in the holding cells. Upon her bumping into him because the lighting was so poor in that particular area of the house, her look of complete dism
[Evelyn’s POV]It was strange seeing Alexander back in his wheelchair with his mask firmly secured on half of his face. He looked fierce and unquestionable. And that was exactly what we wanted.“You do realize that you’re coming with us, don’t you?” he questioned pointedly.My eyes nearly bugged out
“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
