Evelyn's pov

There had been very few times in our contract marriage that I had managed to make Kian completely speechless and I guess I could add this to the list. I stepped in and my inhibitions lowered because of my curiosity as I asked him who was on the other side of the line and he remained in that post perfectly, not moving a single inch so much that you would confuse him for an artistically sculpted statue if you walked into the bedroom eventually. The steady breathing of his chest is also something that he was able to do without feeling like an athlete falling down on the track only to quickly get back up on their feet again and resume the race.

I don't know what was more troubling, as the fact that he did it in the snap of a finger most times making me question my own sanity and if I had misread his expressions or the fact that he felt he needed to do it in front of me and that's brought a bundle of other questions running through my mind.

    Kian's povWhen I first heard about the princess I thought that she would be somebody completely gullible and easy to deceive and I had done everything to make myself a strong pillar in her life yet despite all of this I could still sense the skepticism that came from her.And she was right not to completely trust me, while I had to admit that it somehow earned her my admiration. At the same time, it was also quite frustrating.However, things are moving smoothly now. She had barely noticed my side when she came into the room, so I prompted her to get some sleep. "I don't know if I really need to sleep…" she said even though she adjusted on the bed and was looking at me. It was almost as if she was half expecting me to join her there, at that point she bit her lip and told me that she was sorry for pressing so much that I had worked hard arranging a surprise for her, and yet she had ruined it. "Like I said before, it's not really a big deal this is just an arrangement so there's no

    Kian's pov I saw an invisible crack of fear across his mask of strength and I had it to give him credit for not immediately holding up. The brother I knew before would have immediately melted with fear at a sight like that, I will tell it in the back of my mind and continued to look at him intensely until I saw him swallow a huge lump spit down his throat with much effort you could see his Adam's apple popping as he did it then he throws his head to decide, his breathing becoming slightly faster."Why did it have to be her? Of all women you can easily have your pick and with a snap of your finger they are already crawling to your feet so why did you have to pick her?" I leaned against the kitchen counter again, studying him with code speculative eyes then I told him that the real question was why it bothered him so much. Why does it seem to get his knickers in a wrap that I was going after such an electrical bachelorette? He snapped his head to me again gathering up The shambles of

    Evelyn's povA few days passed and I was still keeping it a secret that I had finally shifted, nobody had ever really expected it, and I had been branded a failure for most of my life because of it.I didn't want people to suddenly switch up because I had a wolf now so I have decided that the blessed decision was to keep it under the wraps for now. The only person who knew about it was Kian, so after all that time I admitted to him that I had been unable to shift since that encounter in the woods."Not even once?" He said worriedly rolling on his side in bed, it was nighttime and quiet but I feared that all of the courage would immediately evaporate from my body if I kept postponing it like this day after day, so I decided that I was just going to fix it head on whether or not it made me uncomfortable.I was actually expecting him to look at me judgmentally which I have gotten used to. Growing up, people would often look at me only hiding their disgust very thinly, even when I was jus

    Evelyn's povI shoved the last bag into the back of the car as my eyes scanned around observing the garage. It was still the early hours of Dawn. We would train until it was almost morning and then at the first pic of sunlight we would be returning back to the pack house.My heart was pounding hard with anticipation. This was something that I had hoped for from a very young age. Something that I felt like I was going to be denied for the rest of my life but somehow in the most unlikely of circumstances it had actually pressed out of me and that was the only thing that smoothed out the soul memory that I had of that day.I didn't realize that I was spacing out until I felt a warm grip on my shoulder and it startled me for a second but I quickly calmed down and looked into his eyes, said nothing then we did this for a while until I felt like I was obligated to say something anything at all he saved me from that by inviting me to take my seat on the front. Before I go ahead to the front

    Evelyn's pov "Can we take a break now?" I said with a desperate sigh, I sank into a comfortable rock behind me as my feet were wobbling like jelly and sweat was dripping down my face.I expected that Kian would be gentle with my training but I couldn't have been any further from the truth. As soon as we got into the woods he had me jogging, I realized he was more familiar with the boundary than I had anticipated, and until our running both felt like the equivalent of 5 miles before he finally decided that I could rest for about a second or two. I don't think it's even a rest but rather a moment for me to catch my breath."Are you already tired?" He asked as he squatted down to meet me at eye level.It took a while to meet his eyes."I'm not used to this kind of intense exercise," I admitted in a breathy voice, adjusting on the rock.He cocked his left eyebrow."Didn't your father train you?" He said, his voice carrying an undertone of disbelief, I shook my head."My father told me th

    Evelyn's pov So I fished out the phone and a grave voice followed after it was the doctor, he told me that I should rush over that my father was having a relapse, immediately I turned around I tried to force the words out of my mouth and because of that I found my mouth open and yet no words were coming out. Finally, I found my voice and I told him that we had to go to the hospital immediately. He raised one of his eyebrows curiously, then he asked me if there was something wrong with my Dad.I wanted to say something again but the words were stuck in my throat so he just helped me on my waist and we started heading out of the woods. There were some clothes in the booth of the car obviously we didn't want to return back stinking of sweat.As we were heading towards the hospital and I fiddled with my fingers, I began to wonder why my father had to suffer like this. He was a good man and yet bad things kept happening to him no matter how hard I tried.I could feel Kian's gaze on my fa

    Evelyn's povWhen we arrived back in the Packhouse I told Kian that I had to go and meet my stepmother he was surprised by this he told me that every time I met her or we crossed parts we always seemed to get into very nasty arguments but there was no need for me to waste my energy on somebody like that. I knew that the hospital would probably call us to ask her about her opinion and they also told her about the condition of My Father."I just want to put her in place before she starts getting any more funny ideas,"I knew that she was still urgently and desperately searching for any way under the Sun that she could use and twist up in order to have my father forcefully taken off life support so warning her like this was necessary even though it was tiring. Before I went over to her room I thanked Kian for standing up for me in the hospital. It wasn't as if I was not capable of standing up for myself but just the feeling that there was somebody there and I was not all alone was a reli

    Evelyn's povThere was an unfamiliar woman that I had not come across before but she seemed to be quite comfortable strolling around my bedroom. At first, she didn't notice me and I walked closer to her and broke my presence to her by asking her who she was looking for. She looked at me as if I was the one intruding into somebody else's bedroom so I asked her who she was and what exactly she was doing in my bedroom."This might be a little strange but somebody asked me to come here and wait for him and that's really how it is, I can't explain more than that…"I was just completely stunned by the woman in front of me. She was comfortable and didn't seem to have one single issue with making herself so comfortable in somebody's bedroom. I stayed still just staring at her. I just stayed and rubbed my cheeks to check if this was some kind of dream because I had never met someone with so much audacity in my life it was a lot to see Finally, my contract husband arrived and I was hoping 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

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?

    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.
