Evelyn pov

As I stepped out of the shower, the only thing that was holding on to my chest tighter than the towel was the guilt that I was feeling deep down inside me. My husband was sitting by the window and his eyes immediately traveled over to me across the room when he saw me. He had already disposed of my blood-stained clothes. I couldn't find them anyway.

The steps I took were slow, but eventually, he waited for me to get to him by the window as he was tapping his fingers on the table in front of him as he rocked back and forward on the chair. When I finally reached him I found out my mouth was dry.

“He's doing okay, the doctors were able to stabilize him and he's going to be fine. He just has some few dislocations and a couple of cuts but he'll be fine,”

He said to me reassuringly and I felt like I finally released a breath that I had been holding back all this time. He stood up, brushing aside my slightly wet hair and he asked me how I was feeling. My head fell and I struggle

    Evelyn's pov 3 weeks passed and nothing happened duringg those 3 weeks. My husband was the only person that I could train with and I preferred to do it at night because everybody else was mostly asleep at that time.Since I was sparring with my husband and I was not hearing any side talk that was gossip about me, I was able to concentrate and that power was not able to break out of me again to hurt him which was something I was grateful for.So, after these 3 weeks passed without any incident, my husband suggested that maybe I should try going out again. I was surprised that the suggestion was coming from him and he told me that people often liked to spread rumors but after sometime they would find something else to talk about eventually and from what he had been hearing, the rumors about me had mostly more or less died and if I wanted to go out I was free to do so. “I don't know if that is such a good idea,” I was now the one objecting to it and his eyebrow shot with surprise. He

    Evelyn's pov “Ma’am I didn't damage your goods,” I said to the woman but she didn't believe a single word, coming out of my mouth, she was upset and angry then she took a closer look at my face. “Wait a minute, it's you, right?!” She hissed and the other woman that was pestering me announced loudly that I was the Luna and immediately several eyes were darting towards my direction. I wanted to find the nearest hole and somehow crawl into it without being noticed at all by all these people who were now whispering and mumbling around me, the pestering woman was still not satisfied yet. “So are you not even going to apologize to this woman over here that you threw away her sweet potato? If what she was selling was not going enough for you then why did you even bother to ask her anything?”She said, planting her hands on her hips and I looked at the woman who was selling the sweet potatoes, her own stars also announced that she was expecting an apology but I couldn't apologize for somet

    Evelyn's pov At that moment when the woman's screams filled my ear before I could even lift my hand, someone rushed forward standing between me and the woman and the person had actually shoved me.Suddenly, even though I couldn't see anything it was as if my body had been wrapped around with some thin invisible ropes and I could barely move, however, I could feel my anger beginning to slowly dissipate and when I looked forward to see who had shoved me, I couldn't believe my eyes.It was Hailey and she had her fingers in front of the woman's face as she was more or less loudly asking her how many she could see before dropping her fingers and looking at me with a stunned expression on her face.“I'm glad I was able to arrive here in time. I don't know what else you would have done if nobody wasn't here to stop you. Were you actually planning to hurt this innocent woman just because she called you out?”The invisible ropes around me seemed to be thinning out more until finally, I was ab

    Evelyn's pov The days slowly rolled by, I had come to the decision that anything I did, it was about to be criticized which was why I tried not to do anything. I was in my room most of the day and that was where I had my breakfast down to my supper. At first, my husband was always asking for me to come down and eat with him but at some point, he just stopped, he didn't make any request for me to come and eat with him and he seemed to be satisfied with me eating all by myself. In fact, it was hard for me to speak with him because he was always occupied. He said that he was still monitoring the investigation, not to mention running the pack at the same time and having to attend a lot of meetings. When night would come, he would complain about being exhausted and immediately shift over to Slumberland without asking me about my day or how things were going. I knew that things were not really moving for me and my life was mostly stagnant as I remained in this room every day but I was ho

    Evelyn's pov Kian had more or less reassured me that the disease was not going to spread but his prediction turned out to be completely wrong because in less than 2 weeks it appeared that we were in a state of emergency and people could not move around freely as they used to because the disease had spread out so much in a way that nobody had expected. Nobody knew how it came into the pack, nobody could even trace how it came about at all. It just appeared one day and started afflicting people, anybody that was infected was going to immediately develop green nauseous spots, and they would suffer high temperatures and difficulty in breathing as well, many of the hospitals were completely overrun with them and it was just getting worse everyday. I thought that Kian and I had become distant but turns out I was actually still enjoying a lot of his attention. I noticed that he was even avoiding me more than he had been doing before with the past and of course, on the few occasions that I

    Evelyn’s povIt was not an easy argument and I knew that he was not going to agree with me easily from the start, which was why I pressed on with it. When I saw that he kept resisting I decided to pull out my triumph card.“If you don't agree with me on this then there's no need for me to be here. I didn't get married to you and come all the way down here just so that I can be a trophy wife, so if you're not going to allow me to do anything, I might as well as go back to my father,”There was a deep silence between the two of us that stretched out for a long period of time sd if it was never going to end before he finally found his voice again in the conversation. “You are not leaving,” he said but even as he spoke, he sounded unsure of himself and that was exactly what I wanted because I was 100% serious with everything I told him.I showed him that I was definitely leaving if he was not going to change his mind about anything. I had already packed my bags and all I needed to hear f

    Kian's pov “She's just so stubborn,” I complained to my beta as he was downing his own glass of wine between the two of us. He dropped it and then after staring profoundly at the roof, dropped his eyes to the glass again to take another serving for himself. “Well, you already knew that when you married her and you brought her here, obviously you can't change her so it's either you accept her the way she is or you replace her with somebody else it's that simple really…”The idea of replacing Evelyn was leaving a very bitter taste in my mouth and that was what everybody was suggesting, but nowadays, I could not really place my feelings about her. Before it had been completely unquestionable, she was the only woman I saw that could be my Luna, however, I was beginning to wonder if I had trusted her into a position that was not meant for her in the first place.“So what do you think of her aa luna?” I asked him as he was done filling up his glass. In response, he just shrugged passivel

    Evelyn's pov “There are going to be some conditions, I hope you can understand that all of this is for your safety and it won't stop you from doing what you want to do…”I know that my husband was not just going to hand me what I wanted on a silver platter just like that and the next day he proved me right when he came into our bedroom with a wig and some personal protective gear as well as some other things as well along with a lot of instructions. “First of all, I think we can both agree that it will be more sensible if you get some training first. As a volunteer, you will not be taken without some basic medical knowledge,”I listened to him attentively. It sounded reasonable enough. Of course, I had to know basic surface knowledge in order to be anything other than a burden to other people.“What's the second?” I asked curiously and he took his time before he finally responded to this question holding out the wig.“You will have to hide your identity,” he added intensely and watc

    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
