In The Loving Arms Of My Secret Alpha Chapter 25
Evelyn's povThere was a pit in my stomach as I was walking back to the meeting room, part of me didn't even want to show up again after the break I felt like I had already lost like I had let my father down…but Kian was encouraging me not with words but with his presence with his fingers wrapped in my own as we continue to walk towards the direction of the meeting room.Finally, we were seated again in our previous positions and soon every other member of the elder council including my stepmother, this time she brought her son Kelvin along and he looked like he was being frog marched into the place but I didn't bother to divide my attention to him.In the end, he was a little bit less than a puppet that was just being pulled at its strings by his mother and nothing else, it didn't look like he had many bright ideas in his head and just went ahead with whatever his mother suggested to him as for my stepmother she sat with such confidence her legs crossed and her shoulders held high wi

Chapter 26Evelyn's povThe final decision of the council members was like a bomb falling into the middle of the room and exploding right in my face the composure that I tried to keep with my expression immediately broke and my lips wobbled as I searched for the right word but found nothing while tears were burning in the back of my eyes.And with that, the meeting came to a close with me still fixed to my chair like a statue the members of the elders council avoided looking at me as they made their way out of the meeting room there was only my stepmother shooting me a dirty look while still pretentiously wiping her eyes with her handkerchief her son followed behind her seemingly dragging his feet his eyes passed me for a moment with his needless pity soon enough I was all alone.Or at least I would be if he could just leave too.I sat there for half an hour saying nothing at all, still keeping the same position from the moment when I heard that announcement. Finally, he squeezed my f

Chapter 27 Evelyn's pov"You are not alone…" he assured me in his deep and resonant voice and I didn't even realize when more tears started coming out of my eyes but this time it wasn't just purely out of sadness there was a feeling of relief that truly, I wasn't all alone.The next day I got a call from the hospital, and I would have gone there anyway even if I had not gotten that call initially. I planned to go by myself but then I remembered the conversation that I had with my contract husband at that point while I stood in the mirror brushing my hair and raising my eyebrows. How far could I really trust this man that I had only known for a couple of weeks?I allowed another stroke to pass through my hair as I remembered the council members that had immediately withdrawn their help and I had known some of those people since I was a child. There was no doubt about it that I would just have to trust him now more out of desperation than anything else.So I informed him that I was goi

Evelyn's povAs I saw my stepmother approaching I knew that the alteration that was about to go down could not happen so immediately I stood between her and my contract husband like a world wedding myself between them her face deepened in disapproval.But it was at that very moment that the doctor stepped out of his office and he looked at the three of us with surprise immediately my stepmother had to put on her mask of being a concerned wife who was simply pushed to the wall to make a choice of letting go of our husband she had her handkerchief at her eyes quicker than I could even blink and looking over to the doctor."Doctor I was hoping that I would be able to catch you, we need to discuss something very important,"Since she was finally out of our hair I looked at my contract husband and he seemed to be looking in her direction. His eyes hardened up but then I held his hand and his attention was immediately brought back to me again. Then I signed out for him that this was our cha

Evelyn POVArriving back in the pack house did not lighten the weight that was resting heavily on my chest, in fact, it only seemed to be intensified by the familiar surroundings that I had so many memories of my father seeming to play with me and I shook my head reminding myself once again that he was still alive and he was one of the strongest Men I knew he would definitely wake up from that hospital bed.Wouldn't he?Was I just being delusional because I couldn't accept letting go of my Father? Was there a chance that the last conversation we had with each other was really truly going to be the last one just thinking about it was enough to have hot tears bubbling up in my eyelids and I quickly had to wipe them away with the back of my hand watching Kian to see if he had noticed.He looked at me with a warm smile and didn't say anything, redness came up to my cheeks. All I had been trying to do since I met him was hide just how vulnerable I was but somehow he still managed to see m

Evelyn's pov“Princess Evelyn…" Jones, my lawyer, called my name as if he was waking up from a very deep and very unpleasant sleep. "I want to be honest with you…it's quite unfortunate…but there's not much that can be done…"He said to me and my heart sank deeper, this was the first time that I had been to his office since he arranged my court wedding and even though things had been tough I was hoping for some good news."Nothing at all?" I inquired rather desperately, leaning more on his table until I was almost resting my entire arm on it. His response was to shake his head sadly and look at me with his eyes dipped with pity and my stomach twisted as a dry smile cracked my lips.Even as a princess that I was, people were either looking down on me with pity or annoyance."... there's already the issue with your assets and if your husband is going to help, your father's bills might…" he kept talking and I watched his lips move but I wasn't catching on to anything that he was saying a

Evelyn's povI was not prepared for the amount of phone calls that my phone was going to be bombarded with after my announcement to Kian, he was calling me like his life depended on my response and then blasting me with concerned texts at the same vigor.He wanted to know where I was so that he would come and pick me up and we could talk but I bit my lip and hardened my heart to all of his attempts…I knew that if I were to agree to that he would immediately be able to convince me not to call off our contract marriage.As the taxi stopped at a red light, I thought about the more humiliating fact that I was just that miserable and lonely right now…and I didn't want to let him go…it was pathetic, I felt like a child who didn't want to let go of their parent's hand.But I couldn't keep holding on to him even when I knew that I was drowning and taking him down with me as well, that would be so selfish and cruel after all the good he has done.Eventually, I got down from the car and entered

Evelyn's pov While in the back of my mind, I still couldn't figure out who on earth this mysterious benefactor could be, in front of me was Kian.His face was unreadable and he tried to walk side by side with me but the feeling of his eyes roaming all over me quietly judging me was more than I could bear, how did he feel about the phone call? He definitely wasn't thrilled about it at all there wasn't a stray smile to be found on his face but he wasn't pouting or frowning either.I groaned deep inside of myself, I wanted to reach out and pluck out the thoughts in his head…desperately wanted to know just what was going through his mind, as we continued to walk together I realized that I could never truly read him.Whenever there was an emotion that was clearly reflected on his face, it was because he allowed me to see it…had permitted it but when his handsome face and sharp features would take a poker expression like this it was near impossible to read him, trying to read a tall brick

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
