Chapter 31

Alexander’s POV “You really don’t think I should question him?” I asked Ragnar while moving on the treadmill. Didn’t feel keen on heading to the woods this morning after spending the whole night roaming around the place because I couldn’t sleep. “What exactly will you question him for? They weren’t doing anything wrong.” Ragnar retorted. “Still, she was practically in his arms.” I sucked my teeth, increasing the speed. “Stop imagining things.” He retorted and went quiet. Evelyn is really playing with me. I can feel my soul leaving my body in rage just seeing her so close to Marcus. For a moment it looked like they were professing love to each other. I know Marcus wouldn’t dare to do something like that to

Chapter 32

Alexander’s POV If audacity were a person, it would have to be the Lycan Prince. When Marcus told me he was on his way, I wanted to take it as a misunderstanding. But Cassian Voss arrived right on time for dinner. Wanting to suck up to him, my mother insisted that he eat with us, but he gave a condition to only eat if the kingdom envoy was also present. Forcing me, my mum, Scarlett, and Evelyn to eat with him at the same table. The crown is the only reason I think him worthy enough of a reception. When I offered for him to sit at the head of the table, he insisted on sitting next to Evelyn and I was a second away from punching him in the face. I hate how close they appear. To make things worse, he keeps mumbling something just to her ears alone and she giggles in response. Evelyn is a married she-wolf. How does he not have any decency? This is my h

Chapter 33

Evelyn’s POV “Fuck! I was this close to clawing his stupid face out! How the hell did you fall for a man like that?” Cassian growled, clenching and unclenching his fist repeatedly. His wolf kept snarling restlessly. And I am just glad that he was able to keep his irritation in check and not make things worse. I already have too much that I am dealing with. “Why did you come here without telling me first?” I asked the question that I have been trying to get a response to for the past five minutes since we entered his car to talk. Can’t afford to have anyone eavesdrop on our conversation “If not for the love and respect I have for you. Today would have marked his end.” He continued, still fuming. I shut my eyes tightly, trying to

Chapter 34

Evelyn’s POV“Are you alright, my lady? Do you need me to get you some medicine? You don’t look good.” Mira bent over me, her eyes searching my face eagerly. I let out a light exhale, forcing my tired body to sit up. “I think I just need to sleep a little more, Mira. You don’t have to worry about me.” She didn’t seem convinced. “You are barely in bed at this time of the day. It’s past breakfast and you are still not getting up. Your face is puffed. I think you need a doctor.” I shook my head stubbornly. “Trust me, Mira. All I need is some rest. You can get me some chamomile tea. I would be fine with that.” “Are you sure?” “Yes.” “What do I tell anyone who comes to look for you?” “Tell them I will be working from home today. I don’t think anyone will come visiting.” “Alright, my lady. I will get you the tea.” She mumbled, hurrying out of the room. I let out a stifled groan as I rubbed at my aching head. My night was tough; it felt as if hellgate had opened a branch close to my

Chapter 35

Alexander’s POV“She can’t stay here, Alex.” Mum blurted as she barged into the study. I groaned inwardly, rubbing at the side of my head. “What is it, mum?” It’s too early; I almost added. She paced the room back and forth, snarling. Then she paused abruptly, glaring at me. “Do you have any idea the insult I just received from that bitch called Evelyn?” “Mum, language please. Why are you talking about Evelyn?” “I went to warn her to stop dragging our name in the mud with her concubine and she practically hurled every insult heard to the ear at me without blinking.” “Evelyn insulted you?” I questioned in disbelief. Mum flared her nose. “You think I am lying?” “No, mum. I….” “That’s it. She has gotten too ahead of herself and has to leave! Send her away or there will be a repeat of yesterday’s event. She will make the royal court think less of us. We don’t need her around, Alex.” I cursed under my breath already exhausted. I have heard complaints about Evelyn more than I can e

Chapter 36

Evelyn’s POV “I heard you weren’t feeling well yesterday, how are you now? I didn’t think you would make today’s meeting.” Marcus uttered in concern with a small smile on his face. I mirrored his expression. “I am better now, thank you. It was just a mild exhaustion. So these are the reports right?” I asked, staring down at the files in front of me. “What exactly is this about?” “Yeah, so let me give you the briefings before the Alpha arrives. Two months ago, we noticed something strange about the abrupt retirement of an advisor in charge of intelligence. It was at the same time we heard that some rogues might be infiltrating the pack.” He paused for effect, when I didn’t interrupt, he kept talking. “We probably wouldn’t have suspected any

Chapter 37

Evelyn’s POV Adrenaline pumped through me as I increased the treadmill speed. I don’t know how long I have been on it. But with the way my bones are stiff, I bet it’s been over an hour. I am not about to get off it just yet. I am still quite stunned at how my day has gone. It appears Marcus underestimated the tons of silver in that damn house. It was over a thousand five hundred kilograms of silver. That is enough to wipe out a small pack. If such silver could be found in such an open space. It tells how deep the corruption in this pack runs. And it will only take a moment before it blows over the entire kingdom. It is clear now why my father insisted that I be the one to investigate the case. I can bet my life would be at stake from now on. Toying with the bees' hive is never advisable. They sting like crazy. I can feel myself being wa

Chapter 38

Alexander’s POV “What do you plan to do with this?” Ragnar inquired, he sounded amused. I sniffed, twirling the phone between my fingers. Evelyn had left her phone in her haste to walk away from me. It’s as if we can no longer be together in a space without going off on each other. The phone excited me a little; having a reason to talk to her aside from the meetings. At the same time, I am pissed at her brazen attitude. How is she not bothered that she ruined our marriage by sleeping with someone else? Yet, I can’t think of myself letting her go. Evelyn is my wife and nothing will change that. I am sure by the time this assignment of hers is done, she will be calmer. Taking a deep breath, I reached for my shirt and held the phone. She has to talk to me tonight whether she likes it or not. I had caught her scent when I was walking past the

Chapter 39

Chapter 39Evelyn’s POVMy phone! I can’t believe this! I grabbed a fistful of my hair, parading the room back and forth while I thought of the best way to approach Alex to get it. When I realized I wasn’t with the phone last night as I returned to my room. I hurried back to the gym in the hope of finding it, but it wasn’t there. Ran around to ask the guards and maids cleaning the gym if they saw it. No one did. I eventually used Mira’s phone to call, and, interestingly, it was answered by him. I hung up immediately when I heard his voice. Isn't that rude? Why will he hold onto my phone knowing fully well that I would be in search of it? What game is he playing at? I groaned in frustration, biting on my nail desperately before plopping into the bed in frustration. Or I might be imagining things. What if the phone got stolen and I just thought Alexander had it? I gasped at the possibility. Ruffling my hair like a maniac. That would be deadly. Important files and images are stored on

Chapter 40

Alexander’s POV I couldn’t resist the smile that plastered my face. For a split second, life felt good all over again. Just Evelyn and I in our own world with nothing else to worry about. But she didn’t seem to fall for the trick. It’s not as if I made us fall intentionally. Still, it was a nice moment to have. Chuckling at the reminder of her delighted expression when she held the phone, I pushed the door of the room open to get changed. My clothes are stained with grass. It’s quite interesting that I was eager to confront her about the text the Lycan prince sent to her last night. But the minute I laid eyes on her, all I wanted t
