Kian's pov My father finally pulled my mother's hand out of the pot of boiling water but it was not because he felt sorry for her, maybe it was because he just wanted her to be able to understand what he was saying without the pain of the boiling water getting in between it. He asked her in an extremely mocking tone if she knew how he got the information she told him that she didn't know and he got even angry he told her that he was going to put her head back in the pot of boiling water if she didn't suggest something smart quickly but she insisted that she had no idea how he was able to get this information. At this point in time my father look like he was ready to blow a gasket then all of a sudden he's wicked eyes came over to me and he smiled a cracked smile that would make anybody shiver he told my mother that if she didn't find out and the corner of her mind somehow how he had been able to get that information he was going to make sure that she is spoke with any means nece
Kian's pov I had only attempted to see my mother two times after my father left because I was too scared of going there when he was still around and I thought that he would have released her sooner but he intentionally kept that place knowing that she was suffering and miserable and not only that she was also dehydrated and hungry but I guess that was the whole point of the punishment to make her miserable so why would he stop it if that was what he intended for her in the first place? However to admit that both visits that are made to my mother were quite unsuccessful to say the very least the moment she realized that I was the other person against the heavy locks that kept inside the basement she told me to leave I wanted to stay with her to speak with her even if it was through the door but she insisted that I had to leave that she didn't want me here she screamed you to all the energy that she had inside of her which was not quite much and I didn't want to stress her out.
Evelyn's pov “My mother was no longer around but I definitely was, so he didn't hesitate in pouring out all his anger on me even if I was still just a small child…he made me do so many tedious chores that I thought I would eventually die from them,”Nobody could listen to all of these and say that they were not touched at all and definitely I was touched by this. Nobody could hear about all of this misery and still say that they were not moved at all, that nothing at all pushed a string in their heart but I could not show just how much it had touched me, however, some parts of me were obviously broken and he could see it unfortunately. He told me more about the abuse of his father and how eventually it had LED up to him finally banishing him from the pack, his father was saying that he was getting stronger and stronger everyday and he knew that one day he would be able to challenge him and take the position of the Alpha, with his brother, he didn't have such a problem and even if hi
Evelyn's pov It was a very long night for me and I doubted that I really got any kind of sleep or anything worthwhile that could be called sleep because I was thinking about the past. I was thinking about how I had been so oblivious to the way my father reacted, the way he completely gave up on the conversation that he wanted to have with me. At the mention of that night, he sounded so horrified.Maybe there was another incident that had happened but none of it would have been his fault. Why was he not happy that night? Why did he look so guilty? Why was he so pressed to be alone by all means? Obviously, it was not an attack by the enemy because my father would come back looking very tired but that was the only night when things were different. That was the only night when he was looking so bad I could not even understand it or comprehend it at all and my mother never spoke about it. She kept it covered up as his Luna. It was also important for her to make sure that his image was as
Evelyn’s pov Kian looked so shattered when I told him what I had planned out. I had not expected that reaction from him, it almost made me feel like he actually cared but I knew that he was just acting. Maybe he was just holding on to this little straw of hope that I was going to run back into his arms, especially after the story that he had told me. While I was emotionally moved, I told him that I still wasn't going to betray anybody from my home. Definitely not for his sake. Now he looked so crushed he was trying to move around in his chair and I reminded him that they were still a dagger that was dangerously close to his chest and this made him calm down but just a little bit. I could see that he was about to get riled up again at any second.“Why won't you just come with me? For your sake, I would try to forget about this, all of this…”I couldn't believe it, he was really pulling out everything he had to deceive me but I told myself that I could not allow my heart to sway my d
Kian's pov My heart skipped a couple of beats and an awkward smile forced its way across my face as I leaned forward, tipping the chair so much that it was almost resting on only its front legs. “Evelyn, you can't be serious…look, I know you're upset with me right now and you have every right to be about that…but you can't really...you mustn’t…”I tried to string my words together but failed miserably, nothing I was saying seemed to get through to her.“Is this because you don't believe what I told you?” I said, lowering my voice, she shook her head and she was once again looking directly at me, “It is precisely because I'm believing you, that is why I'm letting you go. From what it looks like, both of us are just victims of very unfortunate circumstances…there's no need for us to be punished for the past when we have a future but unfortunately, that future will not be the two of us together…” I was stubborn and desperate with the chair still precariously resting on its front legs,
Evelyn’s povI leaned against my car for a moment and my chest rose as I took a huge gulp of air, my eyes straight passed the trees to the cabin again.“If it hurts so much, then why are you not running back to that cabin?” Alice my wolf asked in a whimper, I raked my fingers through my hair and bit down on my bottom lip.“You know I can't do that, Alice…” I responded regretfully. “Why not?!” She cried out desperately “... He's already proven to you that he's not the bad guy... when you even think about it long enough he's the victim here, isn't he?” I grunted, “...that's why I'm letting him go, this is this is the only way to protect him at least for now,”I grabbed the door of my car, got into the driver's seat, and slammed it shut. Alice didn't say anything more but continued to whimper in pain until I had to shut her out. Honestly, I don't remember driving home, with my last memory being of my wobbly hands resting on the steering wheel and weakly turning the ignition on, I happ
Evelyn’s pov There was no response, I stood at his door with my question hanging in the air until I contemplated just leaving him for the night…I doubted if I was even ready for that conversation anyway.However, my feet were desperately planted to the ground. I needed to know the truth or at least hear from his side or I would lose my mind, so I called out again and there was still no response.Fortunately for me, his door was left open, perhaps he had just forgotten to lock it or something whatever the reason was I took advantage of it by gently opening the door and walking in.When I stepped in I understood why he had not responded all the while, he was lying down on his bed fast asleep, but he had not even bothered to cover himself with his duvet so I went over and helped him to do so gently pulling it up to his shoulders without waking him.I stared at his face as he slept, his expression looked troubled, was he having a nightmare? It Was very heavy. I just missed when everythi
