[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
[Evelyn’s POV] “It’s mandatory that I attend this event, correct?” I asked stiffly. I hadn’t meant to sound so hesitant or awkward; however, the words seemed to have fallen out of my mouth before I could get a chance to stop them. Oliver nodded his head. “Yes, madam,” he responded curtly. “Usu
[Evelyn’s POV]It wasn’t until I left Alexander’s side that I was finally able to breathe naturally. I hadn’t realized how much anxiety I’d been holding in since this morning until my chest opened up and my hands finally stopped shaking.Although it was pleasing that I was now recognized as the pack
[Evelyn’s POV]“Oh my God...How the hell am I going to do this?” I whispered to myself.As the date of the Luna Gathering dawned closer, my anxiety decided to return with worrisome vengeance. I tried to keep reminding myself that I wasn’t, necessarily, going to be alone this time. Alexander for one
[Evelyn’s POV]The personal fitting with Claire had gone off without any further issues. Once Alexander had left, much of the tension had gone with him.Claire offered me a kind, reassuring smile. “Don’t worry,” she said. “I’m going to make sure that you’re the best-looking Luna at that gathering.”
I’m not giving up. I have to find something that’s going to help me. My eyes were tired and I had no idea how long I’d been hauled in that part of the house. All I knew was that the sun had already set beneath the horizon and I was purely exhausted.My vision was becoming too blurry to focus and se
[Third-Person’s POV]Alexander couldn’t exactly put his feelings into words at that moment. As he gazed down at the delicate form of his Luna, he was struck with several conflicting emotions.He was still, somewhat, angry at her for being so neglectful toward her own needs. But that anger melded int
He left the library behind and headed back to the bedroom. Only once did Evelyn move. She gently stretched her muscles out before curling back into Alexander’s warm, secure embrace. A small smile threatened to curve the corner of his mouth.When they entered the room, he stopped. The Alpha was then
[Evelyn’s POV]My eyes nearly bugged out of my head as I stared back at Alexander gaping and at a loss for words.Was he being serious right now?! I hadn’t missed the glaring look in his eyes as I searched his face for any sort of indicator that he was joking. He wasn’t.A disturbing sensation of r
“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
