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 POVBrother?I had to clench my fists to hold myself back from leaping out of my chair."You're Alpha Johnson’s son?" Sid asked through gritted teeth. His whole body was tensed, clearly on edge.The blonde man gave us a cold, uninterested look, as if we were nothing but some roaches, unwort
"STOP!" Helena screamed.The golden-brown giant wolf ignored the guns, snarling at Claude under the wreckage. Just as the wolf was about to bite down, I cried out, "Sid—WAIT!"I staggered to my feet, my face burning with pain, blood filling my mouth. But the physical pain didn’t matter—it was the hu
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
“Finding seats,” I said, scanning the room.The venue was filled with round tables, each marked with name cards. We needed to find us a place to sit. Standing around when the ceremony started would make us far too conspicuous.I moved cautiously, looking for an opportunity to swap out a couple of na
Evelyn's POVHe recognized me.I froze for a few seconds, then slowly turned to face him. His face darkened, coldly glaring at me without a word."So, what now?" I asked with a hint of mockery. "Are you going to tell everyone I'm here, or just have security throw me out?""Both options sound good to
"That is irrelevant. Just tell me what you think."He hesitated again, falling into silence. I scoffed, all the fleeting sympathy I’d felt evaporating."You want both of us, don’t you? Who do you think you are? The king? Or the fucking god? Stay the fuck away from me, or I’ll tell Leah that her husb
Selene’s POV“What?! You’re telling me the Alpha left? With Lady Eva?”I shot up from my seat, eyes blazing at the servant who brought me this horrific news. I was one second away from clawing his throat out.“Y-Yes, Luna… that’s what I was told…”“Why? WHY?! I’m his Luna! No matter where he goes, I
“Alpha Asher!” I hissed. “My son is right here. What the hell is wrong with you?!”“Sorry,” he chuckled. But clearly he didn’t mean it one bit.Thankfully, Lucian stirred awake just then, rubbing his eyes—and saving me from further humiliation.Not long after, the plane landed in the valley.Asher c
Evelyn’s POVI didn’t sleep a wink that night.At the crack of dawn, I was already at the airport, waiting for Asher. When he finally showed up, the plane was about to take off—and he was holding Lucian in his arms.I immediately rushed over and called my son’s name. Lucian squirmed out of Asher’s g
“I will,” I bit out. Because Lucian was still with him—and I had no choice.“I’ll be waiting for your answer. You have until tomorrow.”He finally stepped aside, giving me space to leave. But his eyes never left me—not even for a second. They followed me all the way out like a hunter tracking his pr
Evelyn’s POVMy entire body froze.I didn’t see it coming—not at all. I had no time to dodge, no time to hide my face. In that instant, everything just… stopped. He was staring at me, wide-eyed, locked in place.And I had absolutely no idea how to explain this.How do you explain that someone who’s
“Lady Eva,” he stood as I reached him, a cold smile on his lips. “Finally.”I shook his hand.The moment our fingers touched, a jolt shot through me.Just like the first time we met.But that was a lifetime ago. Too much had happened since then. There was no going back.“Alpha Asher,” I said, trying
Evelyn’s POVMy brain stopped working. I couldn’t move.Because Asher was standing just a few steps away… staring straight at me.He hadn’t changed much. Still looked like a damn god—tall, powerful, drop-dead gorgeous. But the softness was gone. That warmth he used to carry in his eyes, the way he u
The kid stuck out his tongue at her. “Yeah? Well, at least I almost got you. I saw it in the scope. You’re slow and clumsy as hell—if he hadn’t pulled you down, you’d be toast.”“You filthy little rat,” Selene cursed and turned to me, her face twisted with anger. “Honey, I know you’re trying to figu
Asher’s POVFor a three or four-year-old kid, he was surprisingly fast—and I was even more shocked to realize… he already had a wolf. At that age? Was that even possible?Still, experience matters. He was reckless, no real strategy. It didn’t take much for me to catch him before he could get away.“
