[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
[Evelyn’s POV] Since that fateful morning when I had officially met Granda Wendy, I could easily say that things around the house had become a lot lighter. I had grown comfortable with most of the staff and they had become rather used to me being around. Granted it was a small portion of the pac
I read through her false smile almost immediately. “Alexander reached out to me to inform you that he’d like for you to go and meet him at the camps today.” My brows lifted in shock. “Really?” “Yep. He’s meeting with a few of the pack members to discuss some important matters, but he’s looking f
[Evelyn’s POV] What the actual hell is going on?! My heart was hammering in my chest, I was nearly certain that it was going to break through my rib cage. Alexander’s voice was sharp and tore through the air like a knife. I should have known that something was wrong from the moment I decided to
“Tell me,” Alexander said sternly. “Ask Nina.” Fiona’s features filled with panic. All the color, practically, drained from her face. “Alexander, I knew you were going to be busy here—you told me as much this morning before we both left the dining room.” He gave a curt nod, allowing me to cont
[Evelyn’s POV] For a brief moment, Alexander and I had fallen into a silent world of our own. Upon my showing him the necklace that once belonged to my mother, he’d become captivated with its same intricate detail and craftsmanship as the one that belonged to him. All the earlier tension between
[Evelyn’s POV] It truly took me a solid moment to realize what Alexander had just asked of me. Did he truly want me to see his soldiers? Did he mean it? Under normal, much less arranged circumstances, usually Alphas and their Lunas were allowed to attend the military review. It was a chance for
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
