Asher’s eyes narrowed, his expression turning even colder, with a hint of disgust.“I hate being threatened.”“Not a threat. It’s clear you no longer trust your CFO to the point where I can’t even request a private conversation with you. There’s no point in me staying here.” She gave a bitter laugh.
Asher’s POV“Sending Evelyn out won’t change a damn thing.” My voice was cold, with a sharp edge of anger.Honestly, Helena insisting that Evelyn leave pissed me off. I knew Evelyn had trust issues. And it’s understandable after what her cheating ex-husband put her through. I’d been working hard to
If she were my mate, things would be so much easier.“Asher, let me help you,” Helena said, her voice trembling. “Your hand needs to be bandaged—”“Shut up!” I snapped, my eyes glowing red. “Say one more thing to come between Evelyn and me, and I’ll make sure you regret it.”Her eyes widened, fillin
Evelyn’s POV“God what are you doing? Stop it!” I screamed, rushing forward to pull Asher away.Sid staggered back, quickly caught by Caleb and Nora. “How dare you attack our Alpha!” Nora roared angrily.“I’d even kill him,” Asher growled, his voice cold and menacing.I felt his body tense, and I kn
My heart sank slightly.I hadn’t expected Helena to have such a deep connection to Asher. It did explain her audacity.“If we find evidence against her one day…”“She’ll pay for every bit of it.”It’s a shame we couldn’t hang that woman today. But knowing Asher was on my side was good enough for now
Evelyn’s POVOver the next few days, Tristan remained unconscious in the hospital. His injuries were severe, and the doctors said he wouldn’t be discharged anytime soon. Thankfully, with Asher and Sid, two powerful Alphas, staying in Blazewood Pack to help stabilize the situation, things hadn’t spir
Bitterness filled my chest. I hated this man, but he was a good father. Maybe if we’d had children of our own, things would’ve turned out differently.“The answer is no,” I said softly. “Even if you sent Leah away, I wouldn’t come back. We’re over.”Without another word, I walked out of his hospital
Evelyn’s POVThings have been so crazy lately that I even forgot it was time for my once-a-year heat. And what’s worse, this is the first time I’ve been in heat without a mate. My body’s getting hotter and hotter, like it’s on fire. Every inch of my skin felt like it’s being scorched. The heat ins
“I still think this is a horrible idea,” Dorian groaned as we got ready. “If people find out that the Alpha’s sister and the future Luna are involved in a crime like this…”“They will praise us for taking out the bad guy of the city,” I said as I cocked the gun and tested the sight. “Where’s Asher b
Evelyn’s POV“Weakness?” Dorian looked a little wary. “Why do you want to know that?”“Holland’s been causing me trouble, and I need to teach him a lesson. Are you going to help me or are you going to side with the elders?”Dorian hesitated, not answering right away. Haley nudged him hard on the sho
I was still debating with those 2 options when a car pulled into the garden and slowly drove up to me.It stopped in front of me, and when the window rolled down, I recognized a face I really didn’t expect to see here.“Well, well, well, check it out. Who is soaking like a drowned rat? The future Lu
Evelyn’s POVMaria gave me the address and left. A couple minutes later, Asher finished his visit at the cemetery and came down, so I told him all about my little chat with her.His face darkened almost immediately, “Maria overstepped. She’s just an elder. She’s not allowed to assign you tasks. I’ll
We stopped in front of two black headstones. The engraving read: Here lie Jane and Soth Montrose. Your courage and loyalty will never be forgotten.Asher stared at the gravestones for a long moment, then gently brushed the dust off them.“They were my parents’ guards,” he said quietly. “When I was j
Evelyn’s POVThe council chamber was dead silent. I knew the elders didn’t want to accept me as their Luna, but after Asher just demoted a senior member to omega, they also knew anyone who angered him wouldn’t have a good ending.“So? Cat got your tongue?” Asher pressed, his voice cold and sharp.Th
“Not at all. It just proves she’s a failure,” Dorian said flatly.“Exactly. And I’ve heard the stories—you throw your soldiers into danger without a plan, then replace the dead with fresh recruits. You traded their lives for that badge. How dare you even call it yours?!”Helena’s makeup ran in strea
Evelyn’s POV“…It was a close vote,” Holland said nervously. “But in the end, the council decided to let General Helena stay as a member of Storm Fang Pack.”He couldn’t even look Asher in the eye while saying it. The whole room was tense, with everyone avoiding Asher’s glare.How pathetic. I though
Helena shot her a disdainful look, “Bullshit. You’re just jealous of me, like Evelyn. You can’t stand that a woman like me has earned this level of respect, so the first chance you get, you try to drag me down. Pathetic bitches.”The female elder’s face turned red with anger. “Oh, so any criticism f
