I sighed, rubbed my temples, and sent him off.Then Asher and I took a walk around the construction site. My heart was heavy.“…I don’t think I go to Storm Fang Pack with you,” I sighed.We were supposed to leave together tonight. He was going to formally introduce me to his council and pack members
Evelyn’s POVThe sound of shattering glass was like a bomb going off in my ears. Shards flew everywhere, and I jumped back with a scream. I barely caught a glimpse of someone running past the window.“What the hell happened?” Asher snapped.I wiped my face, wincing when my fingers brushed over a sti
I didn’t have time to push further. He suddenly yelled and lunged at me, headbutting me in the chest. I stumbled, and he took off into the darkness.“Damn it!”I cursed, slamming my fist against the ground, and went back to find Caleb and Isolde.The chaos had mostly died down. Harvey finally showed
Evelyn’s POVI rushed straight to the hospital where Tristan was. Those reporters wouldn’t stop tailing us. They even tried to block us with their cars, but luckily Isolde’s driving skills were on point, and we managed to shake them off just two blocks away from the hospital. I didn’t even bother
“There she is!”A reporter screamed. A group of them rushed over, surrounding me again.“Why are you running away? Is it because you feel guilty? Did you kill someone last night?”“Rumors say that Alpha Tristan divorced you because you abused his kid. Are you violent?”“Does Alpha Asher know about y
Evelyn’s POVIsolde insisted on heading back to the site to keep an eye on things. Dorian and the rest of his crew escorted me up to the hospital rooftop.“You said Asher’s plane lands in 40 minutes? Then aren’t we going to the airport?”Dorian answered calmly, “This hospital has a helipad on the ro
“But when your window got shattered, you lied.”I flinched.Yeah, I had no defense for that.“I just… I wanted to handle things myself this time. I thought you like an independent, strong woman. I guess I was just trying to be the type you appreciate,” I admitted quietly, lowering my head. “I didn’t
Evelyn’s POVI was still in a daze as I was escorted to the dressing room to get ready. My brain felt completely blank.I was about to go on Ora Spelman’s show. Five billion people would be watching me tonight.This was my chance to clear up all the misunderstandings, but what if—just what if—I sai
“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
