Evelyn's pov

The 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

    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

    Evelyn's pov I grit my teeth with pain and my insides turn with disgust as I look at the man holding me, he looked like he was middle-aged with a sore scar that ran across his face but that was not as skin crawling as the feeling of his hand gripping my wrist his fingers wrapped around harder as steel.With my blood boiling I demanded for him to let go of me and he just laughed just then I heard somebody clapping and then a familiar figure walked into my view with a smile that was far too big for her face to carry."Isn't this rather pitiful?" She said to me as she stopped clapping and brought her hand to her side still looking absolutely delighted just then I noticed the other rogues that had surrounded me coming out of the bushes and my heart began to cave in even more."Quinn…" I said, the warning tone in my voice was clear I couldn't understand what was happening right now but I had a good feeling that I should have listened to my instincts in the first place and that was how I e

    Evelyn's povHate, revulsion, and spite ran through my veins hot and hard at that moment…this had been a trap from the start and for some dumb reason I was far too dumb to see it…to tell myself that it was slapping me in the face.I carried my burning eyes from one rogue to another, my skin crawling as I did so, they all smelled like rotting flesh…but their abominable body odor was the least of my problems right now...My eyes widened as the rogue battled off his belt with a triumphant groan and I was on the verge of throwing up as he started pulling down his pants."Aren't you going to say anything princess? Maybe if you beg me and my men might take it easy on you…"He said with a snarky grin, my face twisted up."You won't get away if you do this…none of you will…" I said as boldly as I could in a situation like this…I was completely surrounded and they were seven to one, none of it to my favor and I didn't need anyone to tell me that each of them was a sadistic killer if I attempte

    Evelyn's povWhen I woke up it took a while for the blurriness that covered my vision like a fishnet to finally disappear and at that point when it did my memories were slowly coming back to me.How I had been lured here by Kelvin who was being puppeted by his mother as always and then how they had left me with those rogues… afterward…I…I.. that's when my memory started getting hazy again and I wasn't sure If I had simply dreamt up the rest that was until I got up exploring this unfamiliar part of the forest and walked into a path with a rotting body with flies hovering over it.I shuddered, almost throwing up at the mere sight alone and pressing my palm against a tree to keep my already wobbly and fatigued body from collapsing.So...I did that?"We did," the voice from yesterday came back again and I almost leaped up from my feet but I held back the urge born from shock and kept my composure."Who are you?" I asked the voice as I moved away from the body but I would run into a couple

    Evelyn's povI didn't force myself to say anything else and just allowed my body to relax in his warm arms, Then when I finally relaxed a little bit his scent filtered into my senses. I had smelt him before like other times but there was something different about him now "something" that was so alluring I wanted to my nose into his chest but right now I could barely even move so I just remained in his arms like that until we finally got out of the woods and he placed me in the back of the car so that I would be able to stretch out my aching limbs.Even though I was more than relieved to see him I was also confused. How did he find me? I didn't tell anybody where I was going and I tried to make my exit with Kelvin as unnoticeable as possible, but somehow he had easily found me though it had taken some time I was surprised but as my mouth opened up I struggled to find the right words to say, to ask, to ease my mind from the tension then there was a scent that was also distracting me.He

    Evelyn's pov “Come on princess, we just want to have a little fun with you. Why are you trying to make it so difficult for us? You think you are too good for us?!”That night I had a terrible nightmare it brought me back into that Forest again completely helpless and being chased down by those rogue wolves. They were not giving up at all even as I ran so quickly that leaves trickled into my flesh and script against my skin but I was not going to allow him to take advantage of me but before I knew it, I lost my balance tripping over a rock and then landing square on my face. I scrambled up to my feet but right when I had done so, it was already too late. I was surrounded left and right. The leader of the rogues had a self-satisfied smile on his face as if he couldn't be any happier and then he came down his palm ready with a heavy slap that went across my cheeks leaving the imprints of his filthy fingers on my face and then he spattered me for thinking that I could actually escape th

    Evelyn's pov The words escaped my mouth before I could even think of holding them back and by the time they were already out I had to face the consequences of them it wasn't as if he was going to strangle me for saying such a thing but I had never expected it, the shock passed through both of our faces as we stared at each other for the longest time in silence and then he broke it with an awkward cough. “You have to be mistaken…” he said in a tone that I couldn't recognize in his voice at all. Despite what I just said, he was still holding me gently but I noticed that there was a stiffness now in his movements as he tried to nudge me towards the bed but I refused to lie down as my body remained stubbornly upright.I had already said it and for some reason, I was also being prompted through the courage to move on with it to continue to press on because I couldn't deny this feeling. It had been described to me in a million different ways while growing up. They told you that when you

    Evelyn's pov I don't know how I was even able to eventually force myself to sleep. Maybe because I could not bear to turn around and to see that look in his eyes. I don't even know how to describe it. I wouldn't say that he was absolutely disgusted but he didn't look particularly pleased. It was as if the night could have turned out any other way for him and it just happened to dive into the worst possible scenario. My fingers had buried themselves into the bed sheet until I was afraid that they would tear red through the fabric and I had to relax more out of tiredness than the willingness to sleep. I had fallen into slumber again. Nobody got to choose their mate. That was something that I learned at a very young age; it was something that would come to you like a tsunami. A full force that was so powerful and so overwhelming that it would completely take over your world before you even realized it and it would have you spinning out of control there was no way that you could possibl

    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.
