Evelyn's pov“I don't know what is wrong with you but I don't want you to get any closer to me. I don't want you to prove that you are loyal or anything like that because I don't want somebody like you around me. You told me to give up on my father in the first place!” I said and tried to push off the doctor but I found myself feeling incredibly weak. It was as if my muscles were like butter and refused to do what I wanted them to. It was so frustrating to say the very least and I wanted them to just move so that I could stop this man but he seemed pressed to prove himself. He was getting angry about the moment and I could see the veins that were beginning to pop up in his head. It made me even more infuriated. He was not the one who was supposed to be angry right now I was the one that was supposed to be going through the moments of grief trying to properly mourn my father and put myself together but here he was trying to intercept himself claiming that he was loyal. My father ha
Kian's pov It was a good thing that I decided to bring Hailey with me at this moment because if not I would have lost the opportunity to get my ultimate revenge because of some idiots that were sporting dreams that were far bigger than him and it was obvious. When I told her that I wanted her to treat Evelyn's father she couldn't believe her ears. Me of all people would definitely want him dead so she must be definitely surprised that I wanted to use her skills as a witch to be able to heal him at least for the meantime. I explained that if I allowed him to die on that hospital bed it would be too much of a mercy, it would be too much of a kindness, something that I was not going to afford him because he never gave it to me. Instead of that I was going to make sure he suffered. I was going to make sure he suffered in the worst way possible so that he would look around and see how he lost everything one after the other and then he would be helpless wondering why all of it was happ
Chapter 79 Evelyn pov At that moment I began to feel very embarrassed as Kian was explaining everything to me. It became clear that his relationship with Hailey was really nothing more than a friendship and I was the one that had exaggerated it in my mind. It made me feel like I needed to find the closest hole possible and just crawl into it and stay there for 100 years or so.“I hope that you can forgive me but the truth is that both of you just look so close to each other that anybody will think that both of you are in a relationship,”When I said this to him, I was also trying to push away the image of the doctor out of my mind I noticed that he appeared to have an unreadable expression on his face for a while the expression they don't last for long and after a while he told me that I was just overthinking and the truth was that just like he had told me before the only thing that was existing between the two of them was friendship and literally nothing else and I should not exagg
Evelyn pov Even though I was trying to make it look as if I was not totally excited by the reality that my father was about to wake up deep down inside I was bubbling up with so much dry I didn't even know how to hold myself anymore it was wonderful it was out of my mind to think that my father was going to wake up at first it had seen like something that would happen during the week when he fell into coma. The news had come from the hospital that my father was in coma and I didn't even take it too seriously at first after all my father was the alpha he was the strongest man that I knew that was the words not kept echoing in my mind over and over again so naturally I didn't think that there was any reason to worry I expected that within the week the hospital will call me just to tell me that my father had recovered and of course he was feeling much better and he would return home. So the days had developed into weeks and the next thing I knew it was not a simple incident that
Evelyn's pov We were always training in the woods and that was the way we did it every single time now that Hailey was coming along with us there was no difference at all the only difference was that Kian was not talking at all. I noticed that he was not even saying a single word. It was almost as if he had lost his voice except for once in a while when he would make some kind of comment about the road and after that, he was quiet again like a mouse.I could not understand why his attitude towards his friend had suddenly changed out of the blue. The first day she came around it was almost as if he could not even imagine taking his hands off of her but after he noticed that there was such a confusion between the two of us he decided that he was going to keep his distance from her. I understood that and I tried not to feel guilty about it but I also felt like I had to fix their friendship or else I would be guilty of something so terrible.“So you guys drive all the way to the pack boun
Kian's pov “Your little wife is quite dramatic,” that was the comment that Hailey made as Evelyn was marching back to the car and you could see the steam that was shooting out of her ears. She was upset and I didn't need a seer to tell me that.Hailey crossed her hands together and then she was staring straight at me.“I don't get It, if she wants combat training so much then you should just give it to her, it's no big deal. I seriously doubt that she would be able to handle it anyways so she'll just collapse and give up,” she said quite confidently as she untangled her fingers and moved them to her hips then she squinted her eyes suspiciously. “Don't tell me that you are beginning to feel sorry for her for what is coming? Something so intense that a couple of sessions of combat training is not going to prepare her for it,”I could see the excitement that was bubbling in Hailey's eyes as she spoke. She thrived off violence so I could understand that the past couple of days she must h
Evelyn’s pov More than anything else I just wish that she would stop asking all these questions. What I wanted this morning was to be able to relax. I'm not in for her to be bothering me with a million and one questions. At least she could allow me to have some peace of mind. We were enemies but that didn't mean that we had to be on each other's toes every single moment of the day. I much prefer when we were just ignoring each other.At least that way I didn't have to deal with being interactive with her, even in a way that was as simple as this she made me disgusted. Just seeing her alone made me feel as if I wanted to throw up and it was not an exaggeration at all not in the slightest yet for some reason it appeared as if she couldn't see it or rather she refused to see it or she saw it and he intentionally ignored it just as a way to mock me because that was just far too amusing for her.I wish I could understand her twisted amusement but I couldn't and in a way, I preferred that
Evelyn’s pov He was looking slightly disgruntled and thin beneath the hospital gown, his built cheeks had sunk in considerably and his eyes had dark circles running across them, and his bed had grown to the extent of practically begging for grooming. But I didn't see any of that. Instead, I saw his strong smile that traveled across his pale face, his smile that had carried me through many storms and now it carried my feet to him. I threw my arms around him and despite a light groan he hugged me back, I pulled back apologetically wiping off the tears with the back of my hand. “Father it's really you…” I said as I touched his sunken with my adoring hands, next to him was Hailey explaining that he said he wanted to go to the washroom to clean up before I would arrive, a blush ran up my neck as I realized that Kian was probably just stalling me so that my father would have the chance to do exactly that.I turned around for a brief second to give him an apologetic look but he just cha
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
