[Third-Person POV]On the way back to the study, Alexander’s Beta, Oliver, was pushing his wheelchair while a teasing smile played on his mouth. Now that the two of them were alone, they were free to share each other’s thoughts and opinions on current affairs.And after the various unforeseen events
It was why he’d purposely scared off the first two Lunas that were set up with him. It was easier to have them reject the King’s proposal than him.But he was quick to discover that Evelyn was different. Alexander couldn’t stomach the way her family had been treating her, and on the day of her own w
[Evelyn’s POV]“Come help me with a massage.”I bit the inside of my cheek to keep my mouth from falling open. I had no idea where I was allowed to look. My cheeks continued to profusely flush the longer I stood in the doorway of the bathroom.Alexander was completely and utterly naked and I had no
I steeled my emotions and proceeded to place my hands on his shoulders. Pressing the pads of my thumbs into his back in a constant rotation, I began massaging him.Alexander let out an appreciative groan that caused my stomach to flip several times. His head fell forward and he flexed his muscles. A
[Third-Person POV]Alexander watched with heavy amusement as Evelyn scurried from the bathroom. He would have been lying if he had claimed that he hadn’t stolen another glance at the woman before she jumped to put her dress back on.His new Luna was truly becoming an interesting addition to his life
[Evelyn’s POV]If I was thankful for anything that had gone on in the last couple of hours, it was how quickly Nina and I had become friends. I felt beyond lucky to have someone who was willing to speak to me on normal terms and even go as far as to inform me of relevant, important matters.Nina had
[Evelyn’s POV]Wait a minute...If by some chance Alexander was listening in on what was going on downstairs in the living room, then that surely meant that I was being placed in another goddamn test.The mere thought had me seething.What was the point? Was this him trying to make me back out of th
“All because I come from a small pack doesn’t make me useless,” I hissed. I then turned to Caroline with an equal look of dismay. “What makes you think that I married Alexander to climb the social ladder? Is this really your opinion?”Neither one of them dared to interrupt me as I went on.“True str
Alexander was absolutely marveled by her determination. He let out a tortured groan the second she tried to shift her hips. “Good girl,” he praised.Evelyn’s expression was a mix of sweet, sweet agony and pleasure. “So d-deep,” she gasped.“That’s right. Now, you’re going to slowly lift up and let y
[Third-Person’s POV]At that given moment, Alexander was certain that he would agree to anything Evelyn wanted. He’d missed her deeply and had gone far too long without having this connection between them.He needed her the way that a person needed food and water to survive. He hadn’t purposely inte
[Evelyn’s POV]Every muscle in my body had gone still. Not a single breath of air passed through my lungs as I stared back at Alexander in awe.My voice was too low for even myself to hear. “What...? You...You love me?”The air thickened around us, making me feel as though I’d just stepped into an o
[Evelyn’s POV]My eyes nearly bugged out of my head as I stared back at Alexander gaping and at a loss for words.Was he being serious right now?! I hadn’t missed the glaring look in his eyes as I searched his face for any sort of indicator that he was joking. He wasn’t.A disturbing sensation of r
“What the fuck?” he hissed under his breath.For what it was worth, Evelyn hadn’t removed her mask for him. Nonetheless, it stung to think she almost had.Alexander did not like the way this guy was looking at Evelyn. He seriously couldn’t tell if the man was flirting with Evelyn or if he was just b
[Third-Person’s POV]Alexander spent the majority of the morning reading through all the findings the lab had uncovered from the fingerprints that had been collected from the scene back at Silverwood.Fiona’s prints were, indeed, caught and captured on the handle of the blade that was left behind. I
[Evelyn’s POV]Fucking what?!!I almost spat my tea clear across the patio. I snapped my hand over my mouth and proceeded to fall into a manic coughing fit. Henry’s eyes widened in concern.He sat up in his chair and reached across the table to rest a worried hand on my shoulder. “Are you alright?
“Evelyn, Doctor Cawfield is here.”“Thank you,” I said. “Will you please escort him to the back patio area? I’ll be there momentarily.”She nodded her head and disappeared.I carefully picked up the tray and headed out toward the back end of the manor. I did my best to steady my nerves, not having a
[Evelyn’s POV]I was a nervous wreck.No matter how hard I tried to calm my nerves, I couldn’t seem to relax for longer than a few minutes.When I reached out to Edward’s Doctor, I wasn’t entirely sure what I was expecting from our call. I knew it had something to obviously do with Edward’s erratic
