Chapter 21

Evelyn’s POVI woke up groggy. Took me three cups of coffee to come alive. And all of this is Alexander’s fault. Showing up here last night startled me. For a split second, I thought we were about to have some kind of reconciliation. But the minute he opened his mouth, the imaginary glass came crashing down. He is still sulking, choosing to believe the nonsense he and Scarlett are feeding themselves that I cheated. I won’t be doing anyone a favor by trying to debunk the rumor. The fact that he could not respond to my question. I am guessing Scarlett is the lucky girl who would own his heart. Something tightened in my lower belly. Thinking about it makes me mad. I really have to focus on what matters the most. None of them is worthy of my time. I have too much work already piled up for me to attend to. This morning I would be heading to the training ground to audit the warriors. It is important to know if they are fit and training right just in case the time would come for their ski

Chapter 22

Evelyn’s POV“Stop that! My darling prefers meat to vegetables. Don’t pile up his plate unnecessarily.” Scarlett uttered loudly, slapping the hand of the poor maid dishing the Alpha’s plate. She has been acting like the nuisance that she is since we sat down. Calling Alexander sweet titles loud enough for anyone with ears to listen in. I really have no idea what goes on in her head. She is so shallow-minded. One would think being a fiancée to an Alpha is the utmost achievement just encountering her. It is obvious I am the target of the whole thing. But I definitely do not have her to blame except for my fate. I don’t know whose idea it is to schedule a lunch for the pack elders and me. When the message got delivered to me, I was hoping I would have a day or two to prepare myself. But I was told it had to be today. Since they had skipped the usual welcome that I was meant to receive when I arrived. I thought that would no longer be possible. However, one glance at Alex with his eyes

Chapter 23

Evelyn’s POVA light gasp escaped my lips as I leaned against the wall in the corridor trying to catch my breath. That was a bit tough. I do not like to talk back at people just to avoid conflict. But it couldn't be helped in that room with Scarlett throwing her weight around and the elders trying to demean my ability. I couldn’t just sit still and allow that to happen. If I let it slide, they will try it again and I might not be able to give them the desired response. Still, that didn’t stop my heart from racing as it would jump out of its cage. I should commend myself for keeping a straight face. I had every reason to turn into a puddle right there. My phone rang all of a sudden making me jolt. Sighing, I reached for it in my pocket and smiled at the caller ID as I answered it. “Hey, girl.” Liona squealed in excitement at the other end. “How are you, Liora?” “Oops. Did I call at the wrong time?”“No, it's perfect timing. I feel like I am losing my mind.” There was a slight mov

Chapter 24

Alexander’s POV“Let go of me!” Scarlett screeched when we entered the room. I dropped her hand, flaring my nose. “What was that all about?” Her eyes turned red. “I can ask you the same question, Alex. Why would you drag me away from there when you were supposed to rebuke that stupid girl for her actions?” “What actions? What did she do wrong?” I couldn’t help but throw the question. “What! Are you asking me that question when you saw how she acted towards the council elders? Throwing her weight around like she owns this place. A kingdom envoy my foot! I bet she slept her way through to get the position. But I will not stand aside and let someone with no ounce of integrity push my people and me around.” I ran a hand through my hair, biting down on my tongue. “Listen, Scarlett. Evelyn is not your problem. There is no need to worry yourself about her or get in her face. I am the one she has to deal with. I get that you might be displeased with her presence, but that doesn’t make yo

Chapter 25

Evelyn’s POV A stifled groan escaped my lips as I kicked the air, throwing punches at the bag. Sweat dripped down my arms and neck, I could feel exhaustion slipping in, but that didn’t stop me. I needed something to blow off steam. My day was a pile of hot mess. From the damn lunch meeting that almost made me lose my home training an Scarlett's bratty behavior. To find more mind-boggling discrepancies in the record files. People around here have been moving with an audacity that has me stunned. Alexander of all people shouldn’t be found in this situation. He would practically give his life up for the pack if asked to. Despite all his dedication, such rot has been happening in his face and he doesn’t seem to have any idea just how far it goes. I am on the verge of losing my mind. And the people around me are not making it any easier. Maybe I sho

Chapter 26

Evelyn’s POV My night was awful. I couldn’t get a wink of sleep and I woke up cranky. Not even Mira’s sweetness could make me feel slightly better. The breakfast tasted bland in my mouth, leaving me to just lean into coffee instead. I haven’t been sleeping well since I arrived here. I find myself feeling restless every time. It’s as if eyes are watching me even when my room door is bolted. Last night the thought was heavier, I kept glancing at the door as if I feared that someone might barge in and have my neck in hand. My back and forth with Alexander didn’t help either. I hate that I have so much to do at the office and I am obligated to be there. But one thing is certain, anyone who chooses to act foolishly in my face today will have to bear the heat. I don’t plan to play nice. I reached for the phone to call the records of

Chapter 27

Evelyn’s POV “What did you find?” I asked Gerald, my trusted IT expert. I had put him on a video call. He scratched his head with eyes focused on the screen. “Evelyn, whoever did this did a good job. The metadata has been stripped to hide tracks.” When he noticed my confusion, he sniffed. “In plain English, someone has been manipulating the data by modifying dates after it has been created and there are weird jumps in version numbers of the products. And as you suspected, the numbers that had looked like coordinates are in fact specific dates where the data modification happened.” I raked my finger through my hair, confused. “Gerald, I don’t know what you are talking about. I am really lost.” “This is a lost cause, Evelyn. You will have to hire a whole team of ex

Chapter 28

Alexander’s POV “It’s just as I pointed out in the document you have in hand,” Evelyn replied blankly to my question. I sucked my teeth, “Changing personnel is not a day thing to do. You are requesting this because you doubt the guards at the border are doing their job. I am duly convinced that they are doing their job properly.” She scoffed lightly and it triggered me. I am still pissed at the way she confidently shunned me a few days ago. I try to forget it, but the words won’t stop echoing in my head. “Did you just scoff?” I queried. Evelyn nodded firmly, “Yes, I did. Because I don’t expect you to even say something like that. More than anyone you shouldn’t trust the people who have held down the records and borde

Chapter 29

Evelyn’s POV “I didn’t think you would come. Thank you for taking the time out to help.” I said to Marcus. He chortled, “I am doing what is expected of me. There is no need to thank me.” “It is important to do so. Many folks don’t want to work with me. They owe their loyalty to the Alpha and his fiancée. Seeing you walk next to me ready to hear what I have to say is a relaxing moment compared to what I have had to deal with these past few weeks.” I admitted. When Marcus showed up at my office door this morning after I received the approved personnel change email, I was shocked. I didn’t think Alex would be considerate enough to have someone assist me. He was quite displeased by my request. Marcus cleared his throat, standing st

Chapter 30

Evelyn’s POV “Evelyn!” I hear Marcus blurt out behind me, grabbing my hand before I could topple down the stairs. “Come on, I have got you.” He mumbled, holding me close to him. From the corner of my eye, I noticed a shadow disappear up the stairs. I pointed at the stairs that led to the upper chambers. “I think the person who pushed me just ran off,” I said. Marcus stretched his neck out still holding onto my hand firmly. “I don’t think there is anyone there.” “Y..you didn’t see anyone behind me just now?” He looked behind him, “No one. I was just coming out of the hall when I saw you staggering forward. Are you okay though? I hope I didn’t arrive too late?&
