View MoreEvelyn's POVSeth struggled to stand on his feet, but he almost dropped to the floor if I hadn't held him still. He cursed underneath his breath while I put an arm around his shoulder. “Should we start going?” I said loud enough for everyone to hear.I had no intention of staying even a second longer here. Especially with the eyes that were focused on me. “Watch your steps,” I growled at him when he kept losing his balance.“I'm trying!” He snapped at me, his face red.“You and your husband really have a good relationship, but don’t forget that you still owe me something.” the Alpha King's voice made me halt to look at him. His hands were crossed over his chest and a sarcastic smile played on his lips.“I understand that I owe…" I trailed off looking around and finding all eyes on me. They were patiently waiting for me to say something, I could see it in their eyes, the excitement to hear the side of the story and know what exactly I owe him.However, I was equally confused. What exac
Evelyn's POVI narrowed my eyes as I tried to read his body language and get exactly what he was thinking. “You're supposed to meet him yourself,” I pointed out as I reached for my drink, but he tightened his grip around it.I arched a brow while his lips twitched. “I know that already. I'm just asking you to meet with him and discuss the project with him. Besides that's why we came?” He replied, looking impatient as he hissed at me.Leaning back against the seat, he tucked a strand of hair behind my ears. “Alpha Raymond already emphasized that you're to meet with him and get his approval,” I looked at him curiously.What was he thinking? Was he going to back down already?“I know what I'm doing. Just meet with him and discuss the project with him. I believe you can handle that,” he pushed the drink towards me. “Just speak with him so we can leave here early,” he said.Eyeing him, I took the drink and gulped the whole content before standing up. I just had to meet him and discuss the
Evelyn's POV.As he glided through the hall, his chiseled features and piercing green eyes commanded attention. His sharp jawline, prominent cheekbones, and full lips crafted a masterpiece of masculine beauty.His tailored suit accentuated his broad shoulders and a lean physique, exuding confidence and power. Raven-black hair framed his face, perfectly styled.Yet, an icy demeanor tempered his captivating appearance. His eyes seemed to hold a thousand secrets, none of which he'd share.“My goodness, this is my first time seeing him in person. I knew he would be more charming than the rumor claimed.” Someone said in a daze.Despite the frosty exterior, women's eyes widened as he passed. Whispered sighs and stifled gasps filled the air. Heads turned, mesmerized by his majesty.A subtle smile played on his lips when he turned to his mother, but his eyes remained frozen, unreadable. He was a statue of perfection, unattainable and unyielding.As he walked, the room parted like a sea, peopl
Evelyn's POV“That's enough everyone, let's not forget the main reason we are here,” someone interrupted and everyone fell silent.The servant ushered us to the corner of the room and I couldn't be more grateful. Being in the midst of attention was the last thing I wanted. Especially not when my mother and step-sister were involved.I paused instinctively when Seth's phone rang in the hall, and he quickly reached for it in his pocket. “Yes, babe. I know, I already told you that I'll be coming early today. I'm still stuck with work but don't worry I'll be fast,” he strolled out of the hall to continue the conversation without turning to acknowledge my presence.Seeing how unsettled he looked; it was already clear who he was on the phone with. Veronica's insecurities were so obvious that I wondered how long she intended to keep up with that.Refocusing my attention on the beautiful hall, I ventured around the place.The grand hall, dubbed estate, was a masterpiece of architectural innov
Evelyn's POV“How long is this line going to take?” Seth growled behind me, but my gaze was focused on two figures. My mother– Luna of the Orion Pack and her biological daughter– Stella.Stella smiled back at my mother, Luna Naomi who smiled back at her, looking proud and satisfied. I tried to suppress the feeling that weighed on my chest, but it suddenly became suffocating. I couldn't remember the last time my mother ever smiled at me like that.“Greetings to the powerful lady of the Silver Universe, happy birthday. We'd like to present our gifts to you, your Grace,” Stella placed the gift in front of the Alpha King’s mother, who calmly accepted it. The whole place was filled with expensive gifts and there were still more coming from the guests.The Luna sat poised in the grand hall, surrounded by opulent furnishings and crystal chandeliers. Soft, golden light danced across her porcelain skin, highlighting her delicate features and radiant complexion.“It's an expensive jewelry made
Evelyn's POVSeth growled, his eyes searching mine for confirmation, but I kept a blank expression until he gave up. Taking off his shirt, he walked to the bathroom, dropping his clothes on the couch.I stared at the bathroom door in silence before keeping the phone down at the nightstand. The conversation with the enigmatic stranger made me feel weird, but I tried to push the thought aside while standing up to fix the air conditioning to the lowest temperature.Seth's parents could tolerate his behavior because he was the heir to the throne, but I couldn't say the same. The door to the bathroom opened and Seth stepped into the room with a towel wrapped around his waist.“You can stare for long, but I doubt that's appropriate given the situation we are in. It might give the impression that you want more from me which might make things more awkward,” he eyed me, an amusing smile gracing his lips.I rolled my eyes, wondering how dumb he must be to utter such nonsense without shame. My s
Evelyn's POV“You'll get to know his name in due time, but first you must gain his approval,” the sharp tone of Alpha Raymond resounded as he gave Seth a stern look.“How do I gain his approval if I know nothing about him? Shouldn't I at least get his name and why he's greatly respected?” Seth asked, his eyes beaming with pride.My gaze traveled to Luna Janet who wrinkled her nose in disgust. I had a feeling that she only tolerated him because he was her son and unfortunately the only heir to the throne.“He's the Alpha of the Silver Universe Pack, and he started ruling over the other Pack at a very young age. You see, unlike you, he had taken the throne as a teenager after his father's early demise,” Alpha Raymond continued, his eyes locked on his son.The deafening silence ensued until Luna Janet cleared her throat. “Seth, this Alpha isn't someone to be taken lightly. Although in his 30s, he already had much control over other packs at a very tender age. During the time that the Pac
Evelyn's POV"Sometimes I wonder what runs through that tiny brain of yours. What exactly did you see in that little fox?" Luna Janet glared at Seth.Seth shifted uncomfortably in his seat, sweat beading his hairline as he kept his gaze on the coral rug like it was something fascinating."I've told you several times, mum. Veronica is innocent, she's lovely and brilliant. You don't know that because you haven't been close to her enough to--" he started but she immediately cut him off with a scoff."I believe Evelyn's has more of an idea about the kind of person Veronica is. She's a snake and a distraction," she snapped."Mum, she's not a snake or a distraction," his voice was almost inaudible."Then explain why you performed very poorly in the Silver Universe Pack's heir training course. You didn't only disappoint me and your father but also the entire pack," her voice was laced with frustration and I could see disappointment in her eyes.My gaze moved between them, and it felt like th
Evelyn's POV"I'm truly sorry about this. I... I never thought that something like this would happen," she said with a trembling voice. Her eyes were getting wet with tears.My eyes almost zeroed at her, realizing that she wasn't actually apologizing but instead mocking me. I could tell very well what a real apology was. Her lips were slightly raised at the side and her eyes were unnecessarily wider than usual.If they were something I learnt during the years of being friends with her, it was that she could switch emotions as fast as a chameleon changes colors."How many months is it?" I asked next, ignoring her replies to my questions. The sound of the igniting engine beside me added to the tension as it served as a reminder that we were still at the airport.Her shoulders trembled again, her lips parted just the same time as a tear slid down her cheek. "It's been five months," she answered.I took in a deep breath as my gaze fell on the bump again. This had been so shocking even tho
