[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
Alexander and Caroline were practically gaping at my unexpected intel on the situation. Wendy called out for one of the staff members. “Find Katherine. Bring her here.” According to Grandma Wendy, Katherine was responsible for revising the ledger. If anyone was able to make sense of the transact
“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
It took every ounce of his self-restraint to not barrel down the hall and bust through her door. God only knows what would happen if he so much as dared to do that. Even if his intentions were solely to ensure her wellbeing, he couldn’t risk upsetting her.He’d spent the last couple of days held up
[Evelyn’s POV]I sat back in my chair and let out a long breath.It felt like my stomach had suddenly filled with lead. I could have easily guessed that Oliver would have wanted to bring up the topic of Alexander. After all, he was the Alpha’s right-hand man. No doubt, he’d been the one to deal with
“If anyone is looking for me, I’m going to be in the library for most of the day,” I said to him. “When you get a chance, could you pass on the number of Edward’s doctor to me, please?”Oliver nodded his head and smiled. “Of course.”...Why hadn’t I thought of it sooner? Surely, there had to alread
[Evelyn’s POV]“You want to train me?” I asked dubiously.God, even repeating that out loud sounded insane. I stared back at the two soldiers with a puzzled look, not knowing what to say in return.Nevertheless, they both nodded their heads and gave me expected looks.“Many of us back at the camp th
