In The Loving Arms Of My Secret Alpha Chapter 30
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 watched him as he stretched his hand in front of the table and kept his eyes on me at the same time then with an almost nonchalant shrug he told me that I should know more about that than him since the person was my friend after all. I drew back a little while my fingers were being placed on the table and I fiddled with them nervously.As I did so I admitted to him that I had no idea who this person could possibly be so far everybody that I had reached out to for assistance during this tough time would tell me that they were also going through a similarly rough patch, every single one of them. If there was anything that this troubled time had taught me to understand, it was that people were quick to desert you when they saw that they might not benefit from being on your side.I was still struck by the fact that the entire elder council had betrayed me and my father like that. With little to no hesitation they sat on their chairs and with the most robotic logic told me

Evelyn's povIn the following weeks, my relationship with Kian was developing, or at least that was what I wanted people to believe when they laid eyes on us. He had moved fully into my chambers and he had made no move towards my bed, resigning himself to one of the couches in my bedroom that did a really insufficient Job in taking all of his tall frame and most nights he had to fold himself up.The discomfort was obvious on his handsome face but he made no sort of complaint. He easily settled there every night after wishing me sweet dreams. I was rather baffled, he was much taller than me and the couch could barely contain me either if I lay down. Although it managed to do so in the end the struggle was obvious, I was worried with the way he folded up every night like a folding card in a gambling game.Finally, one night I couldn't bear it any longer, he had been struggling for like half an hour trying to find the least uncomfortable position and I couldn't turn a blind eye anymore.
In The Loving Arms Of My Secret Alpha Chapter 35
Evelyn's povMy body stilled so perfectly against him like a statue as he whispered the name of another woman in my ears, I was still until I couldn't bear it the next moment and slipped out of his hold with a sudden jerking movement that had me sitting in an instant.This seemed to wipe off remnants of the slumber from his face in an instant because he sat up as well first placing an elbow on the bed before pulling both his arms to his side and sitting upright. "What's wrong?" He asked as if it was not already blatantly obvious, had he not heard himself?I pursed my lips together, here I was thinking with the way he held me that we had shared something intimate and special beyond our contract…but I was a fool to think that…to even want to think that at all in the first place."Evelyn…come on…" his fingers reached up midair moving in a direction that I guess was gently aimed to touch my cheek but the hard, uninviting look on my face promptly stopped him with a perplexed look on his f

Evelyn's povThe suddenness of his question threw me off guard and I was quietly observing him in tense silence until I responded."Why the sudden interest in my marital life, Kelvin?"I asked him and he drew back in a seat as if he had not expected me to whip back at him so sharply then he fiddled with his cutlery for a second before he responded he was looking at his food as if he was waiting for it to tell him what he was supposed to say."Well…I don't want to poke nose or anything…you look really satisfied so I don't know if what Alex told me is even true…"I felt my muscles immediately tense up when he said that, despite all the time we had spent together, Kian had managed to keep me from his past. Naturally, I was curious but I was often too strapped down by the problems I had in my present to really keep pressing into it."Kelvin, if you want to say something you can go ahead and just spit it out…" I said taking a dry bite of my food"... but I'm going to be honest with you, I'

Evenlyn's pov"We're here," Kelvin announced quietly as he turned off the engine to his car. We had driven close to the border of the pack, as always the road was lonely and void of any other vehicles."This is where he will be meeting her?" I asked, clicking off my seat belt and reaching for the door. He stayed quiet for a moment before he responded."Emm yes…no…actually we have to go into the woods,"He said slightly above a whisper and as I shut the door of the car, I gave him a questioning look."In the woods?" I repeated, walking over to his side and not hiding the skeptical tone in my voice. The words seemed lost in his throat for a second before he found it with a rapid session of nods."Yes…I'm sure of it, you'll see it with your own eyes.." he reassured me looking into the woods, my gaze went there too then I asked him without looking at him."I still don't understand why you're doing this…there doesn't seem to be anything for you to gain from this…" I said quietly and calmly

In The Loving Arms Of My Secret Alpha Chapter 191 The End
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
In The Loving Arms Of My Secret Alpha Chapter 186
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
