Lahat ng Kabanata ng Seven Years A Lie: The Lycan Princess Returns : Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

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

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

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

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

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?&
