[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
[Third-Person’s POV]There were many people around that dining room table who held their own amount of disdain toward the couple, or even Evelyn specifically. But the only person who truly earned Evelyn’s rage was Isabella.She glared down at the woman with a newly found hatred that had her hands it
[Evelyn’s POV]I should have known that Isabella was going to pull something like this. Under normal circumstances, when neither one of our families was out to get us, this whole occasion would have made complete sense. If the situation was normal and decent, an engagement party amongst family would
[Third-Person’s POV]Alexander wasn’t sure what he could do to properly ease Evelyn’s nerves. Granted, it wasn’t for lack of trying. He’d offered on several occasions that she lay back on either the bed or a couch and let him sink down between her luscious thighs.He’d never grow tired of the way sh
[Evelyn’s POV]Alexander nodded his head. “That’s because Gregory wasn’t anticipating that we would actually be able to provide any real evidence. No doubt he was already aware of the issues that were going on between Michael and me, he probably thought that I was doing all of this purely out of spi
I was trapped.A small, antagonizing smile played on his lips. “You’ve got quite the dirty mouth on you,” he whispered.My mouth twisted into a knowing smile.“Perhaps, you’re rubbing off on me,” I commented.He let out a deep hum of approval from his chest. “Be very careful what you say, sweetheart
[Evelyn’s POV]“You’re really going to make me head to the dining room?” I asked weakly.My voice felt strained. Actually, my entire body felt like it was seconds away from slipping to the ground.Sex on the table in the library seemed like a lovely idea at the time. However, the moment the last of
Good God. The mere thought of someone ever having her like this was unthinkable. But how else would she have known to move and perform like that?This spurred his anger and he demanded to get his answers. Alexander formed a tight grip on her hair and smoothly yanked her head back until she relinquis
[Third-Person’s POV]This wasn’t how Alexander imagined his evening to play out...But, it wasn’t as though he was upset.Shocked...A bit hesitant...But deeply, deeply aroused.He’d envisioned seeing Evelyn, his own beautiful Luna, down on her knees in front of him a multitude of times. And each time
With a wave of her hand, Nina made her way back to Wendy’s wing of the house. I took my chance and, practically, dove head-first into the library and closed the door behind me. The adrenaline calmly wore off as I roamed through the numerous shelves in search of the topic that’s been harrowing my tho
