[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]Let’s just get this nonsense over with.It was the day of the Luna gathering and I had absolutely no desire to even get out of bed. Of course, Alexander was already up and gone by the time my eyes fully opened. It was times like this where I could really use a few words of support.I
She beamed under the praise and turned to reach into one of the smaller trunks. “Just one last thing and then you’ll be perfect.”My bottom lip trembled in shock as I beheld the large emerald stone attached to a silver chain. She circled around me to properly adjust the necklace around my neck. Afte
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
