Semua Bab Stuck Between Two Alphas: Bab 111 - Bab 120

Evelyn's povMy heart was still pounding hard inside my chest, it felt like it would burst out at any minute. I couldn't understand why Tyler was doing this, I could understand Christian's reasons but I thought of it as childish. Petty even, but Tyler? I couldn't understand his reasons. It made no sense. One thing was for sure, it wasn't about protection like he put it. It was about power and influence.“Tyler? Why are you doing this? This whole thing is unnecessary and uncalled for. Why?" I demanded, trying to hold back my frustration. My thoughts were scrambled and the eyes staring at me did nothing to water down the tension. He didn't answer me, he didn't even bother to look at me. He couldn't. Alicia stepped forward, walking past me out of nowhere and stopped right behind Tyler.“This doesn't need to escalate any further, Ty," she said rubbing her hands on her back. I knew very much that little move was only meant to piss me off, to show to me that at the end of the day she was L

Evelyn's POVTwigs snapped underfoot as the four betas assigned to investigate the rogue situation maneuvered through the woods, I lingered a few meters behind them, moving silently. I couldn't afford to be seen. I didn't know why I got this strange feeling inside of me but I decided to act on it.Just a few minutes ago, I managed to convince Beta Marc, he was reluctant but I had my ways of getting under people's skin, making them do things they wouldn't do. I had to get him off my back somehow.I quickly ducked behind a tree as I accidentally stepped on a twig, it snapped so loud that heads turned to my direction.“Did you hear that?" one of them asked.“It's probably just an animal, let's keep moving."They turned around and continued their mission. That was a close call. Just a few minutes ago, I was so keen on getting to the Archives. But now, here I am, in the middle of the woods, stalking a group of werewolves like a lost rogue because my curiosity got the best of me.What still

Evelyn’s POV“I’m sorry, did I startle you?” Tyler asked, raising both hands in mock surrender. He had appeared out of nowhere, his presence sudden and jarring. I watched him cautiously as he lowered his arms and took a casual glance around the bookshelves, as if he hadn’t just sent a jolt down my spine.“I thought I’d find you here,” he said, his gaze locking onto mine.The tension in the room spiked, thick and suffocating. I looked away quickly, pretending to be occupied as I dragged my finger across the dusty spine of a nearby book.“Why are you here?” I asked, keeping my voice low and even, trying to mask the flurry of emotions rising inside me.“So, I heard you went out into the woods,” he said, stepping closer, two strides, maybe three, until he stood directly in front of me.I could smell his cologne, crisp and musky. His breath was warm against my face, and for a stupid, fleeting second, all I could do was stare at his cherry-red lips.What the hell was he doing? Why stand so

Evelyn’s povShit. Shit. Shit.Why did I say that?I mean, seriously, what the hell is wrong with me?I kissed Tyler. Fine. That already fucked with my head enough. But now I just blurted it out to Christian like some child who tattled on herself.My brain short-circuited. My whole chest tightened as I watched his face. No rage. No yelling. Nothing.Just that one word “What?”I opened my mouth, but the words? They didn’t come out. They got stuck somewhere between my throat.“I… I didn’t mean for it to happen,” I finally managed. My voice cracked. “It just… it wasn’t supposed to happen.”He blinked again, slowly. “So why did it?”I hated how calm he sounded. Like he didn’t care. But that was the problem, he did care. He just buried it too fucking deep, like always.“I don’t know, okay?” I snapped, but it came out more like a plea than anger. “Can you not… can you just not do anything? Please. I can’t take this anymore. Your rivalry, this power play, this sick obsession with being bette

Evelyn’s povI had been everywhere.Bathroom, storage rooms, under the goddamn stairwell. I even checked the elevators like an idiot, thinking maybe she pressed something and got stuck somewhere but no, nothing.She was just gone.“Shit…” I muttered under my breath. I walked back to the reception. The doctor was waiting for me there, her brows pinched together like she already knew the answer.“She’s not anywhere,” I told her. “Not in the rooms, not outside, not in the waiting area. I checked.”“We’re doing everything we can,” she said calmly. “The guards have been alerted. We’ll find her.”Her tone was gentle but way too relaxed for what was happening, that girl was just in a damn coma hours ago, how the hell did she just… vanish?I leaned against the wall, pressing my palm to my chest.“Why would she run?” I asked out loud, not really expecting an answer. “Was she scared? Was someone after her? Or…”I stopped myself. I didn’t even want to say it, what if she was the threat?I hated
