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

    Kian's pov Her eyes widened up like saucepans and her entire body was trembling like someone that had been thrown into a snowstorm without protection. The desperation was thickly and broadly written all over her face as if somebody had done it with a permanent marker. “Kian, what about my father?” She said, holding on to her last straw and desperately so as well, without any shred of shame to be found in her. SAe tried to approach me but I gave her another warning look with my eyes. I wouldn't hesitate to shove her away again if she was ready to break the boundaries that I had clearly set, so she remained close to the couch brushing her leg awkwardly against it. “What about your father?” I repeated, with my hands still crossed against each other but my emotions were not as unmoved as my face remained to be. While Hailey was a pest, I couldn't describe her father in the same way. In fact, it was the opposite. I actually respected the man a lot. “How do you think my father is going

    Hailey's pov I returned home with frustration and anger pouring out of every single pore in my body like sweat. Kian had practically thrown me out on my face because he said I shouldn't be around when his precious wife returned. Imagine the humiliation. Saying that I was baffled and flabbergasted was an understatement of the century. Before now, Kean had been so charming to me to the point that he was almost patronizing and now it's a made-up set he was. As I matched into the dining room of my home I was given an outlet for my anger when the main served some of the food immediately I shrieked. “Why is there lobster on this table?” I demanded from the maid and she looked at me blinking her stupid eyes rapidly with surprise and shock. Yes, I had specifically demanded for seafood to be added to my lunch but now I wanted somebody to vent my anger on and what's a better victim than her? She tried to speak through a wobbly voice that I had specially requested for seafood and immediatel

    Evelyn's pov “Are you sure that you're going to be okay? Trust me there's no pressure at all and I am not doubtful about your skills or anything but if you feel like you don't want to….”I allowed the hairbrush to swim across my hair again while staring at my vanity and the reflection of my husband sitting on the bedside as he was speaking to me as if I was about to go into a war when in reality it was nothing like that or at least it was far less threatening than a war. He was having a meeting with his special advisors and his Beta, and naturally as is Luna, I felt like I had to be there, this was partially because I wanted to contribute to the territory and also because I was beginning to feel more and more like a pampered doll rather than a person.Everyday I eat extravagant meals and not only that, the clothes that I wear are practically out of this world. It felt like every single one had been tailored just for me and while that was true and I was extremely flattered by it even

    Evelyn's pov The first thing that was discussed was the adjustment to the budget of the pack, areas that needed to be cut back, and areas that needed to be fueled with more finances. I tried to pitch in but the moment I peeled my lips open there were about five other voices to immediately drown it out.I would awkwardly fall into silence, I didn't want to appear rude and inconsiderate by talking over other people even though that was exactly what they were doing to me.The discussion continued for a while and I just prompted myself to keep quiet for that part of the meeting and observe what was going on, besides I had just moved into this territory, so I wasn't socialized enough to know what aspects required finances or not. I thought that at some point I would be invited to speak on a matter since it would come off aggressively if I tried to overpower an entire room, however even my husband didn't look at me while he was discussing, he was just thoroughly pressed on the meeting whi

    Evelyn's pov I couldn't believe that he actually recognized me and I wondered if he was just messing with me but when he said my name, I knew that he wasn't and I wasn't sure how to act around him. I had been holding myself together for when I would eventually leave the hospital then I could process my feelings but now after being separated for 5 years we had collided again, our lives in tangling even though I had done everything possible even traveling across the world to avoid it. “You look very well. I guess the choice that you made to leave wasn't a bad one since you appear to be doing very good for yourself,” the bitterness in his voice was clear and evident then I remembered that he didn't have any right to be angry or at least not at me. I planted my hands on my hips and told him that I couldn't stay with him anymore if he would never tell me the truth. All I asked well was some honesty, for him to respect me enough to tell me what was really going on in his mind and that

    Evelyn's pov Even though I knew that the park was just close by and we wouldn't have to go there, there was still a dreadful feeling in my chest, of running into Kian after so long. I never really gave him any explanation as to why I left, he must have returned back to the mansion confused and conflicted I don't know if the letter that I wrote for him would have been enough to satisfy his curiosity but I knew I couldn't stay and say those words, if not I would have never had the courage to leave at all. A tap on my shoulder brought me back to the present and I allowed a small smile on my face as I looked at my stepbrother, Kelvin, I had never imagined that he would become such a pillar in my life, somebody who was once a spineless puppets for his mother had matured into a responsible man and he had girls chasing him left and right but he told me that he was interested in only one person and one day he will confess his feelings to her. I had begged him to tell me who this per

    Evelyn's pov The day I made a decision to leave the pack, to leave him, I knew that I could never return back or at least I never intended to and now 5 months had passed it felt like 5 years. Everyday my heart was aching for me to return back but I knew that he would have some kind of convenient explanation or he would deny being part of the council at all but it made so much sense that I was not going to allow him to deceive me anymore. It was not an easy decision to come to and I had no idea where I would even go, all I knew was that I had to leave, now was when I got an unexpected call from my stepbrother Kelvin. He had never reached out to me before, so I was surprised to get his call that night. I contemplated answering it or not, then I decided not to because whatever he had to say, I doubted that I had the Patience to even listen to him but just as I was about to cut the call, my fingers slid in the wrong direction and I answered it by accident.His concerned voice came thro

    Kian's pov “It's been a pleasure doing business with you,” I said with a confident smile as my fingers gripped that of my newest associate. The contract that I had just closed down would end both of us millions and that satisfaction was almost enough to make up for the 3 days that I had spent away from my mate.Well almost…I had already booked a flight and I would be pulling her into my arms once again in less than 3 hours or so, so with an expectant smile on my face, I checked out of the hotel that I had been staying for the past 3 days and made my way to the airport, my eyes were glued shut throughout the entire flight and everything seem to blur until finally, I was driving into my mansion through the gates. A maid came to take my briefcase and I easily handed it to her asking her if she knew where my mate was. Her face suddenly paled up, and then she started shaking a little bit, her lips obviously trembling as she visibly battled to get out her words saying that she had no ide

    Evelyn's pov The search for my father's killer went on for months, it started with days and then it dragged out into weeks until months passed and yet there was nothing. It was almost as though they appeared out of thin air and after committing that heinous act disappeared like dust in the wind. I mourned for my father until my heart wanted to bleed right out of my chest. My only consolation was my husband who was there for me during this difficult time, promising me with all of his heart that he would find my father's killer but despite all of his efforts, nothing came out of it. One dead end was just followed up by another one. Eventually, after catching him looking through the little evidence that could be found at night barely allowing himself to sleep I had to call it quits but he was stubborn about letting go insisting that if he just kept looking he would find the killers. On one of such night, I caught him in his office after waking up in bed and finding that his ow

    Evelyn's POV When I woke up the next morning, the first thing I got was an urgent text from my father's personal investigator urging me to reach out to him as soon as possible. My heart quickly found its way to my throat. I had a nightmare and it involved my father and now this? Calming my racing heart, I took a few breaths and then made the call and on the second ring, he picked up and his voice was low. It was always sort of monotone but now there was something beneath it that made a pit my stomach grow even deeper. “Is something wrong?” I couldn't help asking and his voice was a few decibels as he dropped the bombshell that left the room spinning around for several seconds until I spoke again in a response. “You must be joking…” I said, my voice coated in denial. “You can't be serious, please tell me that you are joking right now…” “I'm sorry you have my condolences…” I wasn't able to listen to his next words because the phone fell from my trembling hands, and if I h

    John's pov “This has to be a joke…” I said for the millionth time throwing a folder back to my desk. My personal private investigator looked at me with a source of resignation on his face and he told me that he was confident of his findings.I looked at the folder again like a bomb that was about to explode cautiously touching it and I opened it up. The first thing I saw randomly was a picture of a boy and standing next to him was the familiar feminine face that made me close the folder once again, my chest burning up. It couldn't be, it just couldn't be… “Alpha John…” My private investigator was about to speak but I held up my hand. I needed a moment to digest this so I dismissed him, leaving me alone with all the evidence that brings back memories from the past, memories that I thought I had long buried. And along with it came intense guilt, just as I was battling with this, Quinn appeared in my office with a cheap smile on her face but right now I needed to be alone. When she g

    Evelyn's POV I looked down at my wristwatch for the millions of times and a heavy breath left me as I tilted my head up and groaned afterwards. I was hoping that this flight would make me get to my father faster but instead it ended up getting delayed because of an incoming storm.So I was left with no other choice, I had to Lodge into a hotel for the night, I would be coming back the next day to quickly catch my flight it was already too late to consider going on the road anymore and I would still end up wasting the same amount of time anyways, so I might as well just get on a flight. At least, I wouldn't have to worry about traffic or anything. When I was settled with my baggage I lay down on the bed with my shoes. I feel like a bigger traitor than those two shameless people for not telling him this. How was he even going to react when he knew that I had been keeping these secrets for so long now? I squeezed my fingers together until it pulled into a fist and I was agitated just

    John's pov My wife stayed in the basement longer than I expected. I thought that after a couple of hours, she would come out but it was only the next morning that I was able to convince her. I brought some food for her, an omelet and some bacon because she had also refused to eat anything from the previous day. Then, standing at the entrance of the basement, I knocked to get her attention. “Quinn, don't you think that this is unnecessary?” I asked her “Both of us are adults so we can discuss this as adults..” “I don't want to discuss anything…” she cried out. “Just tell me that I can go, that you don't need me anymore, and have my bags packed for me so that I can leave immediately. I have dedicated so many years of my precious life to you and you won't even trust me I don't want to talk about it,” I looked down at the plate of food. “You haven't had anything to eat since last night. Are you really planning to starve yourself to death?” There was silence for a while before sh
