All Chapters of Marked By My Fiance's Alpha Uncle: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

EVELINE A frustrated groan tore from her throat as she rolled onto her back, staring up into the dark room. Her thighs clenched tightly together, but it did nothing to stop the hollow ache pulsing between her legs. It was maddening. Every breath she took carried a faint, lingering trace of him from the pillows, from the room, from the very air of the villa. Touch yourself, her wolf whispered, restless and completely shameless. You know what you want. Imagine his hands. “No,” Eveline muttered into the empty space. She squeezed her eyes shut, trying to force herself to sleep. But the darkness only sharpened the memory. His voice in the basement, low and rough against her ear. His broad palm hooking into her skirt, pulling her flush against his hard chest. The way his eyes had flashed amber, ready to devour her right there against the metal table. Her hips shifted against the mattress of their own accord. A shudder ran through her, and before she could stop herself, her right han

EVELINE.Eveline turned over on the bed. The warmth of Lucian’s chest was still lingering against her skin, the duvet tucked securely around her shoulders right where he had left it. She sat up slowly. Her wolf was entirely placid inside her chest, quiet and satisfied.Eveline pulled the fabric higher, a sharp knot of irritation tightening in her stomach at how effortlessly she had surrendered to him in the dark. The door to the room opened.Lucian stepped inside, already dressed in a charcoal suit and white shirt, his jacket unbuttoned. He carried a hot mug of coffee in one hand and a folded gray sweater in the other.He walked straight to the bed and sat on the edge of the mattress. “Drink this before it gets cold.”Eveline looked away, keeping the sheet gathered tightly to her chin. “I can get my own coffee.”Lucian set the mug on the nightstand, a faint trace of amusement touching his mouth. He leaned forward, resting a hand on the mattress beside her hip, close enough that his w

EVELINE.There was a brief pause on the other end of the line, followed by the muffled sound of keys rattling.“What is happening, Evie?” Tammy asked, her voice instantly sharp with concern. “You sound like you can barely breathe.”Eveline leaned her forehead against the stairwell, keeping her voice low so it wouldn't echo up to the floors above. “Daddy is getting discharged on Friday. Lucian cleared his vitals this morning. An old contact from the shop is driving up from Vale to take him home.”“Okay,” Tammy said slowly. “Isn't that a good thing? Your dad is okay.”“He wants me to stay here in the city for the internship,” Eveline whispered, her knuckles turning white. “He thinks everything is fine. But the only reason I was staying at the villa was to take care of him during his recovery. Now that he's leaving, Lucian says our deal isn't done. He reshuffled the entire hospital schedule today just to move my rotation. Everyone on the floor is staring at me, and Maeve is looking for

EVELINE. Eveline moved straight to her bedroom. She shut the door, and backed up against the wood. Her chest rose and fell in short, uneven gasps. For a fraction of a second out in the driveway, when his mouth had hovered over hers, her body had leaned toward him so hard she had almost captured his lips in hers. She turned on the bedside lamp, walked to the closet, and pulled out an empty tote from the top shelf.It was Thursday morning already. The clock on her nightstand read 12:18 AM.Her dad was leaving in thirty-six hours or less.She worked in complete silence, opening drawers and taking only what was strictly hers. Three sets of hospital scrubs. Her medical licensing paperwork. Two changes of plain clothes. Her spare shoes. She left behind the other things Lucian had gotten for her including the sweaters folded in the dresser.She zipped the bag, slid it under the base of the bed where the hanging duvet hid it from view, and walked into the bathroom to wash her face.When she

EVELINE.The pediatric unit had been surprisingly quiet all morning.Eveline finished her work with Dr. Alvarez without a single hitch. When Maeve had made her routine pass through the floor at ten o'clock, she hadn't dumped a single extra folder on Eveline’s desk. She had simply signed the unit roster and left without saying a word.By twelve-thirty, Eveline walked out to the bench by the staff terrace during her lunch break. She pulled out her phone and dialed Tammy.Tammy picked up on the first ring. After Eveline quickly summarized the morning’s mess with Damon showing up, Lucian stepping in, and Maeve’s unusual silence, Tammy let out a long sigh before speaking.“Well, at least the doctor id one thing right by kicking Damon into where he belongs,” Tammy said. “That bastard deserves so much bad luck. But Eveline, be careful. If Maeve isn't barking right now, it means something is up her sleeve. She doesn't look like the type to just randomly decide to walk away from causing harm t
