[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
[Evelyn’s POV]My God, I couldn’t remember the last time I slept so soundly.I was so warm and felt so safe. For a moment, I thought I was back in my old room. Some of my limbs were still aching from the previous day’s events and I was in no mood to get up anytime soon.Slowly, I stretched my legs a
“What were you doing?” he grumbled.“S-Sorry,” I muttered. “It’s just...Your mask. I noticed it was sliding off your face.”Without a word, he reached up to readjust the mask’s position on his face. I was desperate to ward off the awkward silence that filled the space.“I, uh...Sorry if you didn’t s
[Evelyn’s POV] Alexander and I shared the same bewildered look with one another. Well, that was certainly one way to be greeted by someone you hardly knew...But even so, I had no idea what was meant by it. My brows curled in confusion. “Uh, I’m sorry. What—” “Would you care to clarify that q
[Evelyn’s POV]I really didn’t like the way the Alpha King was addressing Alexander. I knew the man was older, but there was truly no need for him to speak in such a condescending tone. Since I grew up with similar behavior from Isabella and Samantha, I knew that it all stemmed from insecurity. Kn
[Evelyn’s POV]It was strange seeing Alexander back in his wheelchair with his mask firmly secured on half of his face. He looked fierce and unquestionable. And that was exactly what we wanted.“You do realize that you’re coming with us, don’t you?” he questioned pointedly.My eyes nearly bugged out
[Third-Person’s POV]Alexander had been extremely wary of Evelyn for the remainder of the day.He’d overheard most if not all of her speech to Michael down in the holding cells. Upon her bumping into him because the lighting was so poor in that particular area of the house, her look of complete dism
[Evelyn’s POV]“Hello, Michael.”My voice echoed off the stone walls, causing the figure in front of me to go stiff. From where I was standing, Michael was currently hunched over on a small cot with his back facing me.I wasn’t sure what I expected when he began to move around and face me. From what
“I wasn't planning on it,” she said tightly. This time, he narrowed his eyes at her sudden assertive tone. “Two. I plan on being present while this conversation happens.”Evelyn raised a brow and gave a look that spurred on a new argument, but Alexander was quick to defuse the tension.“I will keep
[Third-Person’s POV]Alexander stared at his wife in utter shock.At first, he seriously thought he’d misheard Evelyn’s request. Then again, it wasn’t much of a request as it was a forward demand. Her stance remained unwavering as she waited for him to hand over the key to the one place in the house
[Evelyn’s POV]I tried to keep my anxiety down to a tolerable level as I followed closely behind Oliver. I couldn’t begin to imagine what the situation was that could possibly involve Edward. If everything was fine with his health and treatments, then what could possibly be so important that Alexand
“As soon as I got the motorcycle information, I sent out a few men around to search for it.”“Was it in a junkyard like the car was?” he asked.The Beta shook his head. “Shockingly enough, we traced it back to a local mechanic in town. He’s currently trying to restore it. We asked him if he knew any
[Third-Person’s POV]Alexander felt himself stuck at a crossroads of some sort.While he’d been patiently compiling all of the found evidence he intended to use against Michael in court, there was another issue that was due to rear its ugly head...Why hadn’t there been any public announcement over
