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
[Third-Person POV]There was no mistaking that Evelyn’s comment had caught Alexander completely off guard.The alpha quickly adjusted his wheelchair, turning himself back around until he was facing her directly. His brows were raised while he kept his gaze firmly locked on her. He tried to keep his
[Evelyn’s POV]He’s standing!I felt the heavy weight of Alexander glaring at me from across the room, but my eyes were still glued to how his body was positioned.I casually glanced around the room, hoping to find an explanation for the questions that were piling up in my mind.How the hell was he
It seemed like Alexander was determined to pull me from my thoughts; and, in a way, I was thankful for it. No doubt I could have spent the next hour alone simply trying to understand how any of it was possible.Nevertheless, I snagged the blanket off the far end of the bed and quickly draped it over
It was a legit option, although I was going to have a hell of a time explaining myself as to how I knew about the hidden side of his face. That would mean admitting that I had basically snuck into his office.I don’t want him to think that I purposely invaded his private space; nor do I want him to
[Evelyn’s POV]There was no way that I was seeing what my eyes were showing me. It wasn’t possible.I felt awkward enough going to Alexander’s office, knowing that I wasn’t normally permitted to be there. And it wasn’t as though I had ever asked about it in the past, but I knew by then Alexander's o
“I don’t believe that you’re overstepping in the slightest. In fact, I’m glad that you’re taking Alexander’s well-being into your own hands. It’s been made clear that he doesn’t seem to put much care into himself, recently. I am glad he has you to do that for him at the moment,” she explained.“I ju
[Evelyn’s POV]Good girl.I shouldn’t have read into it...I should have just ignored it and claimed it as a passing comment that held no serious meaning.Alexander probably had no idea what he even said. It probably meant nothing to him and I’m just making it out to be more than it is. But, goddamn
“Listen to me. You were doing amazingly. What happened wasn’t your fault, it was something that was out of your control,” he explained. “Even if by some rare chance that you were to fall in front of a room full of people, you’d be amazed by how many of them would show their concern.”“Yeah, or decid
[Evelyn’s POV]The laughter had somehow taken a majority of the tension out of the room along with the painful strain that was tearing through my legs and feet. I shifted my weight back onto my heels and leaned against the wall for better support.When Alexander finally managed to collect himself. H
My heart dropped into my stomach. I had no doubt that he had ways of finding out what he wanted to know. But what I couldn’t seem to understand was why he was pressing the matter so much.“Can’t we just move on and accept the idea that I’m doing this so I can better blend in with others?” I asked.“
[Evelyn’s POV]“Now, remember. When you’re sitting at a table, such as this, and there’s currently nothing being served, you are going to keep your shoulders straight and your head leveled on your shoulders,” Alexander explained.I gave it a try and almost instantly felt an uncomfortable twinge in m
[Third-Person’s POV]Alexander watched the unsettling emotions fall over Evelyn as she stared back at him—mainly at the tall pair of heels he’d been holding up for her.Jesus Christ. One would have thought that he was holding her at gunpoint yet again.Alexander had always been somewhat aware of Eve
