“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] Once more the room fell silent. I wasn’t even sure Alexander knew what to say. Surely, he was as shocked as me. Between the two of us, I was certain we both thought that it was going to take a lot more than a single conversation for Wendy to feel so obliged to want to work togethe
Having spoken to one of the managers at the junkyard, the two of them were directed to a nearby mechanic shop. At first, neither of them understood the relevance of taking the trip over there. However, the old man was rather insistent on the matter.“Trust me,” he’d said. “The answers you’re looking
[Third-Person’s POV]Unlike her husband, Isabella was well aware of the situation that was unfolding in front of all of them. She didn’t know who this Michael character was, nor did she really care. But ever since Evelyn showed up and began derailing her plans to get rid of Edward, she’d been lookin
[Evelyn’s POV]“Are you sure you’ll be alright by yourself?” Wendy asked for the third time.I tried to put on the most realistic-looking smile I could muster.“I promise, I’ll be fine,” I told her. “Don’t worry about me, okay? I’ll be busy taking care of Edward and chances are that no one will even
Michael tried to hold back a spiteful sneer. Surely, they all knew that he’d be filling in for Alexander for a little while. That being the case, why weren’t they showing the proper consideration for his respected title?Well, it’s obvious that the first thing I’m going to need to do as Alpha is tea
[Third-Person’s POV]Michael was a man who felt like he’d just hit the lottery.The morning he was due to head to Kingston Manor, he did it with the most energy he’d felt in months. Hell, he was practically buzzing with eagerness. He couldn’t wait to step into his role as Alpha.Even if it was only
A gentle smile curved her lips. “I bet she had no belief that the two of you would have made your marriage work out in the end,” she said with a smug tugging at the corner of her mouth.“You can best believe that,” I said with a laugh. “No doubt, she had high hopes that I would end up miserable.”We
[Evelyn’s POV]A toxically venomous feeling seeped through me.Of course...Why hadn’t I considered it sooner? I guess part of me didn’t want to believe that people were capable of such horrible things. I knew it sounded naive but from my own experiences, nothing had ever excelled further than petty
[Third-Person’s POV]Alexander had diligently read over the messages he’d received from Wendy, updating him on the most recent events with Evelyn and her family. Aside from chuckling at the comments his grandmother gave regarding the uncouth behavior of his in-laws, Alexander was exceedingly worried
“Go on, dear,” Wendy waved me off. “I would like to chat more with your parents.”I wasn’t going to question the mischievous glint in the older woman’s eyes. I politely nodded my head and headed toward the far wing of the house....Right as I reached the door to my brother’s room, I stopped myself
