Kian's pov I tried to look at her face but she immediately started staring at her bookshelf as if she had never noticed having it before, I guess I was a bit naive to think that it would all work out in one night, but I wasn't giving up yet, however, I didn't want to push her so far besides I have some business that I had to take care of.“I can leave this place if you want to, but as for your territory I'm going to have to stay for some time…”She finally turned around to face me and then she demanded to know why I still needed to stay longer if I was planning sneaking into her bedroom as a regular thing. She told me that last night was not going to repeat itself, that it was just a one-time affair. I chuckled a little bit. There was also another time she understood that she was in a one-time affair with me. But somehow life kept bringing us back over and over again, there was no way this would be happening unless we were destined to be with each other, so I was not going to worry
Kian's pov I knew that trying to trace down Hailey might turn out to be a pain in the butt but fortunately for me she was not making it very hard for herself to be found, I only had to ask a couple of questions until I was pointed straight at the woman with mysterious powers and I knew that it match the description of that witch perfectly. Calling her directly had been a waste of time because for some reason she had decided to stop answering all of my calls, she would just deliberately allow it to ring until it was over and then when I saw that it was a waste of my time I stopped doing it. I knew what she was trying to do, it wasn't really Haley unless there was some kind of twisted game wrapped up in everything she did. She was intentionally making it hard for me to find her while also living close at the same time. I wouldn't be surprised if the flamboyant show that she was throwing off using her abilities like a mere commodity was to draw me closer to her.As I gripped title to
Kian's pov The tone of her voice and the way she looked at me, the way she clicked her tongue it was obvious that the question was meant to irritate me and it did a little more than that. I clenched my fist and I closed my eyes taking in a generous gulp of air that would calm me down. Of course, she was still there but it felt like all of my efforts had gone into thin air the moment I opened my eyes and I saw her again. “Whatever business I have with my wife has nothing to do with you,” I watched as her face gradually lost color. It was one thing for her to call Evelyn my wife out of mercury and then it was another thing for me to claim it with my full chest. She began to scratch on the table in front of her. “Kian, did you hit your head on something during this time of your disappearance? Have you forgotten that she's just a tool for your revenge?”I leaned forward.“I'm the alpha and she's whatever I choose for her to be in my life, she is my wife…”Hailey looked as if she was m
Evelyn’s pov I took another look outside the window and I could feel my heart sinking even more. Why did I even think that he was going to come back? Why was I having that useless hope?I decided that I would just go to bed but it was hard to just ignore that he had actually come last night and all those things that happened really happened between the two of us, it made me feel as if I had given myself up again, that I had allowed myself to be puppeted by him once more.Throughout the day, he was the only thing on my mind. I could not get anything else in my mind and I had a meeting about some land disputes and I barely even listened to their conversation as I had to admit to myself that most of the time my father had to bring me back to reality, snapping his fingers lightly, tapping the table with his hands until I was jotted back into the same room with him but when he would ask me what was wrong I would have my head, put my hair back in place and tell him that everything was abso
Evelyn's pov I look at Kian with my hands planted on my hips and feeling that I had somehow made a triumphant decision with everything I said to him and he would definitely be scared and retreat from the whole decision of wanting to stay with me forever. I had uncovered his secret that he had tried so hard to hide from me and because of that, I seriously doubted that he would still stay and he would bring a stranger with all the complications I carried over to be his Luna. “Is that all you need me to do?” He asked and I was instantly speechless. I took a few steps back but he immediately took some forward to close the distance between us until we were standing the same way we were before and I wished he would just stay away from me because when he was far, at least it was easier for me to think but the closer he got to me, the harder it becomes for me to push him out of my mind and to block him from carrying out his manipulations as usual. “You can't actually be serious about that
Evelyn's pov I was taken aback by this but I did not allow it to completely reflect on my face so that he won't be able to read my emotions so easily.So then I remained calm pretending as if his words did not touch me at all but remained on the surface of my emotions and I asked him to explain what he meant when he said that things were different now. He came and with the gentlest of touch, he reached out for my hair, twisting it between his fingers as he admitted to me that he never thought he would Fall in love like this. I looked at him with my face completely painted with skepticism, maybe a little more than I felt but what I assumed he should see instead of somebody that was ready to jump into his arms with the sign of a little change. “You seem to throw the word love around a lot. You just think that the moment you say things like that I'm going to immediately be wrapped around your finger and not be able to think for myself anymore…”As he was still caressing my hair he to
Evelyn's pov As always I took my father to the living room where I hoped that we would have some privacy, and I told him that we needed it because it was going to be a very important and probably long discussion between the two of us and the last that we would have for some time. Just like I expected, my father looked worried and confused by the way I was. I sat next to him on the couch and reached out for his palm, squeezing it affectionately as he looked up at me, becoming even more confused. “My dear, is something wrong? Are you in some kind of trouble? Just know that your father can get you out of anything if you just tell me what it is. I'm sure that you couldn't have been that responsible for whatever happened…”The smile on my face twitched a little bit as my father more or less admitted that he was willing to support me with a crime and that really didn't sound so out of character for him since he loved me but it made me wonder just how much he had done in his life that he
Evelyn's pov His lips easily stretched from one side of his face to another when he spotted me heading towards the boundary he was waiting leaning against his car and swinging his keys when I arrived. I had taken a cab and when it had gotten close enough, I told the driver to stop and turn around then I was able to walk the rest of the distance. It was a pretty lonely road, so the chances of anybody else coming around were very low, meaning that I didn't have to worry about being caught here with him. “You actually came…” he said with his hand spread and his eyes were practically glowing with excitement as he pulled me into a hug. It took me a while, but I gradually returned his hug as naturally as I could after a brief moment of being so stiff like a statue and it took a while before he finally released me and then he opened the passenger door for me before going over to the driver seat. “I'm so glad that you decided to come with me, I promise you that things are going to be diff
