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 My expectation of seeing him immediately pulled up in my chest and then I waited with my fingers finding their way into the bed sheet again and sinking in but however the expectations that I had were soon flushed through the drain when I realized that the person that just walked into the wardroom was not actually him but the doctor. I had never been so utterly disappointed before and I almost openly wanted to cry out when I saw the doctor but I had enough self-control to hold myself back from doing that and instead, I forced myself into his smile and a more orderly composure greeting the doctor who didn't return my smile. She didn't look like she was angry at me or anything in particular but she seemed to be deeply worried about something as she came to my side. She asked me the usual routine questions and I answered all of them but I noticed that her eyes were in touchingally avoiding me. She seemed to be looking at every other thing in the room except for me as if she

    Evelyn's pov When I arrived at the Packhouse everybody seemed to be too surprised to see me. It was almost as if they had thought that I had gone on some kind of long journey and then I realized that I had actually been missing yesterday since I didn't tell my husband to inform these people that I had actually gone into the woods and I had made sure that my whereabouts was as vague as possible to the servants it made me realize that maybe this was why they doctor didn't want to trust me so much and I had actually beginning to lose control.I was already aware of the influence that my stepmother was holding along with her ability to manipulate and control others this would obviously make people to agree with her and to side with her in situations that they shouldn't and of course, this was one of them but I didn't have time to start pointing fingers I wanted to know where my husband was and so the first guard that greeted me at the entrance of the Packhouse I immediately demanded for

    Evelyn's pov For a moment it looked as if the glass of wine that was in her hand was immediately about to fall and shatter out but she somehow managed to keep her grip on it and then she forced an unnatural smile on her face before placing the glass on the table next to it was the glass that also belonged to her lover my ex Alex who was also looking at me with surprise, his eyes incredibly wide but not wider than my stepmother.She was really hoping that her hard twisted plan had worked out and she would never have to lay eyes on me again. Maybe she thought that I would be so embarrassed and ashamed that I would not even dare to show my face.“Oh, Evelyn you're here.” She spread out her arms like a mother and then told me that she was so surprised that I had returned from my trip and she didn't expect me to return so quickly.We were the only ones in the living room so I told her to drop the act because it was making me sick.Before I would have her punished for what she had done I w

    Evelyn's pov He didn't look like he was about to comply to my demand anytime soon instead he turned around to my stepmother and seemed to signal her something with his eyes, she immediately got the information and she ran out of the room before I could grab her and I turned my anger over to Alex for allowing such a thing to happen. He could have just sat down there and continued to make himself like decoration which was all he was good for after all.He had thrown away everything we had just so that he could sleep with my stepmother so it wasn't as if shame or pride was something that mattered to him the only thing that mattered was getting his way, now that I think about it, it made him a really good match with my stepmother both of them were perverts who had no sense of shame at all and did not even understand the reason why they were supposed to feel shameful for all the things that they had done. Alex looked at me and I was about to go after Quinn but he held on to my wrist tight

    Evelyn's pov As I expected I found my stepmother in her bedroom trying to adjust. She pretended as if she didn't notice that I was in the same room as her and while her pretense almost seemed believable I was fully aware that she knew of my presence in the room with her and it was obvious from the way her shoulder taunts then after a while they seem to relax.I didn't want any time beating around the bush so I told her that I was here to discuss with her but however I had to keep a few distance the safe distance was obviously not for me but for her own sake because if I decided to get any closer to her then she was definitely going to regret it and she was going to wish that she had never met me at all.“What did you want to discuss?” She asked, pretending like she didn't know why I was here.I told her in a very strange voice right now that if she decided that she was going to keep on playing games with me I wouldn't just care about the consequences I would come over closing the dis

    Evelyn's pov He gave me a look as if what he had done and the reason for it was so incredibly obvious that it couldn't be overstated or even didn't need to be stated at all. That it was something that was supposed to be known like a universal fact but I wasn't really sure I had a few suspicions, of course, he always sees my step-family from day one and he found all of them deployable but I didn't think that he would go so far as to publicly beating up my step brother knowing his position.Even if it was something that I didn't respect I know that if his mother was able to pull all of the right strings then he would actually be able to get my birthright which was something that made him problematic enough and despite my own will next to see him as a member of the royal family it was something that I had to begrudgingly accept as a threat and something that had to be taken care of and I wonder if it was because of my absence that made him feel like there was nobody to hold him back so

    Evelyn's pov As I sat down looking at my contract husband I wondered what made him suddenly feel like he could trust me with this information but I decided that I was not going to press into it I was far too glad that he was willing to trust me at all considering this was something that he didn't find particularly pleasant and he wasn't even eager to share at all in the first place.So I was glad that he was even able to say anything to me at all, all the time that I had known him it felt as if he was wearing a mask on his face and because I didn't really care about him all that much and I was more concerned about my own problems I didn't press into it but the more time we have spent with each other I couldn't just say that I saw him as a complete stranger anymore he was beginning to get under my skin in different ways and now there was this Mate Bond that I had to also worry about as well so when he told me that he was willing to tell me about his past it was as if he was taking a

    Evelyn's pov I couldn't be able to measure my joy when my contract husband was finally released from that stinking home. Every moment that he spent there was adding to the stress but I already had and I regretted even agreeing to it at all. The worst part was that there was never a complaint that passed through his lips. I knew that I had provided a more considerable amount of comfort but I always expected that at some point he would blurt out to just how much he hated the place but he was controlled and graceful and he uttered nothing bad about it, of course, he was fully aware of the state of the dungeon.But despite all of this the only thing I was expecting was waiting until the moment when I had the keys to release him from that cell. On that very day, Kelvin had been discharged from the hospital and his mother celebrated. My belly tightened up a bit when I saw how she was decorating the Pack House but I decided that there was no need to enter another argument with her over that

    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
