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
Evelyn's pov Kian didn't seem to believe that his people would have any problem trying to swallow down the information that they were going to be having a complete stranger that they had never met before introduced as their Luna, maybe it was so hard for me to imagine because I could not even think of doing that on my own side, just popping up with a complete stranger that nobody knew anything about and as these thoughts started to run through my mind I realized that was exactly what I did. My people had expected Alex or that time because we were dating and we looked like the perfect match in person and on paper because why wouldn't we be if nobody else knew that he was shamelessly sleeping with my stepmother, of course, we would look like a great match together but then his brother had come and completely swept me of my feet. At first, it was not exactly love. I could say I was attracted to him at that point and really I was desperate. But as Kian stretched out his hand for me ope
Kian's povJust like how I had hoped and expected, the party for my new mate was successful. Many people came in attendance flooding into the mansion and of course, I could see some faces filled with shock and surprise. For many years I had claimed that Hailey was going to be the next Luna.But fortunately for me, she had added to her own downfall, if it wasn't for the fact that she was so desperate to oppress others and put them below her feet many people might have actually decided to support her but the only advantage that she had was her father and I would deal with him at a later time when he eventually found out about what was happening, but for now I was ready to pass in the beauty of being with my mate. As I looked at her soaking up the new attention that she was getting has the Luna of the most powerful park in the world, I couldn't help to admit that it was a great look on her and initially, at the beginning of the party, she had been a bit awkward and strange but as things
