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
Kian's pov I grabbed another glass from an unsuspecting waiter that passed by swiping it from his tray and gulping it down in one single movement.“It looks like somebody's going really heavy tonight,” Hailey observed as she notched closer to me through the crowd with her own glass in hand that she was swaying from side to side in a disinterested manner. My eyes were locked on my nemesis, both of us were in the same hall, and all it would take was a couple of steps from me eliminating the distance between the two of us and then finally I could do what I had been yearning to for years but instead, I was slowly getting drunk on wine trying to hide myself in the crowd.Hailey had read my expression perfectly and she knew what was on my mind. She followed my eyes until it landed on Evelyn's father.“You know it's still not too late to take care of him…” She whispered in my ears as she stood on her tiptoes then leaned back with a wicked smile but I shook my head. “I've already been th
Evelyn's pov Words fail to describe just how happy I was when I was reunited with my Father. I had waited desperately for this moment, dreamt about it and now I could rest my head on his shoulder again. I could feel the strong embrace of his arms pulling me close into a deep hug that seemed to melt away all my worries. This was why I was not ready to tell him yet that his wife had been cheating on him even though I was itching to do so, but I was so afraid of a relapse that I wanted to wait even as I dragged on the last strings of my patience to see my pretentious stepmother throw her arms around him and her crocodile tears running down as she pretended to miss him more than life itself when she had been the one advocating for him to be taken off life support. Father seemed to enjoy his welcome back party but I noticed that after he disappeared with my husband and when he reappeared, he was acting rather strangely. When I approached him about this he just gave me a broad skin deep
Evelyn’s pov The scratching of my slippers alerted the two meals in the kitchen as their heads both snapped toward my direction at the same time. With a sigh of defeat, I revealed myself to both of them stepping into the kitchen.I searched my throat for the most appropriate words to say after stepping in on them just after eavesdropping on their conversation and I was lost, so I remained swinging from side to side with my hands clasped behind me and my eyes on my father. They staggered over to Alex for a moment out of curiosity. He had his jaw on the floor, and for my father, he didn't appear so surprised he slapped Alex on the shoulder and then urged me with a wave of his hand to join them.“Really?” I asked and he nodded with all but enough force to have his head dislocated from his body.I scratched my feet with every step scratching against the tiled floor, if my father noticed he definitely didn't point it out then finally I stood across from Alex who was avoiding my gaze, hi
Evelyn’s POVI sat at the bar, downing drinks and trying to forget about my problems. “Pour me another, please,” I said to the bartender. As the omega refilled my glass, I looked at my phone and sighed for the umpteenth time. Still no word from my boyfriend, Alex, and no news from my father’s doctor either.Just as I’d prayed the moon goddess would spare my mother and bring her back to me, I now prayed for my father’s life. Out of the blue, he’d slipped into a coma, and a month later, the doctors still had no answers. Meanwhile, I lost hope and my heart broke more with each passing day.The pack wasn’t faring well without their alpha, either. They needed a leader, and as my father’s only legitimate child, I would become the next alpha of my pack if he didn’t make it. I sighed again as I wondered if the pack would be better off with my stepbrother Kevin in the role. He was a male with a powerful wolf.Conversely, I was a female with no wolf. If that weren’t bad enough, an ugly scar tha
I stare from Quinn’s nonchalant face to Alex’s petrified face. “You ungrateful slime!” I yelled. I reached for the vase on the room’s front table and flung it at Alex’s head. He ducked, and the vase hit the wall behind him, shattering. That I missed made me even angrier.Quinn wore a smug smirk as I staggered a few steps into the room. I shook my head. It didn’t feel right. It felt like something more than a hangover, like I’d been drugged. Still, I wanted to pounce on these two traitors, so I pressed on, getting dizzier by the step.Quinn’s smirk grew evil as she saw me struggle to keep consciousness. She looked like a villain whose plan was falling into place perfectly. I saw it, the mischievous look in her eyes. It seemed like it had been her plan for Me to get drugged, and be brought here, so I could find her and Alex in Bed. “What can you do about it?” She asked Me and I scoffed, unable to believe the amount of shamelessness I was seeing in Quinn. Then ignored her, turning my
