Evelyn’s POV“Helena!” I blurt out.The person walking into the waiting room wasn’t Asher, but a tall, beautiful woman, flanked by a group of female soldiers.Helena.I watched her approach, confusion and disbelief swirling in my mind.What was she doing here? Where was Asher? Why would Asher send h
I clenched my teeth and locked eyes with her, icy fury rising in my chest.Stay calm. Don’t let her get to you.“A waste of time? I don’t think so. You are here yourself, and that proves its value,” I shot back, calling her bluff.Her smile turned to a scowl.“You once said your board would never ap

Evelyn’s POVThe next morning, I woke up early to get ready. I slipped into the white silk gown I had brought specifically for the groundbreaking ceremony. The strapless neckline showed off my collarbones, and the high-low hem—short in the front and trailing like butterfly wings in the back—added a

But with Selene, there’s nothing. She didn’t feel a damn thing.“Wait. What’s going on?” Cyrus asked with a raised brow. “I don’t understand. Was the rejection successful or not?”I stood up so quickly that my chair screeched. “No. There’s no need for a fucking rejection. Because they aren’t mates i
Evelyn’s POVMy heart nearly stopped when I received a mindlink from Evangeline.“Mommy come and get us in the forest. We caught a bad guy!”I almost jumped out of my chair. What bad guy?My adrenaline flooding my veins as Cyrus and I sprinted toward the forest. We bumped into Asher and my mother on
