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
[Evelyn’s POV]No. No. No. No, this can not be happening. I had somehow managed to get through the dressing process of this whole ordeal and actually convinced myself that everything was going to be okay. I was being draped in jewels that, no doubt, cost more than a luxury home. I was wearing a dre
[Third-Person’s POV]As it would seem, Evelyn wasn’t the only Luna who was facing ongoing doubts and troubles within her new pack. Her Stepsister, Samantha, was currently facing her own list of personal issues that she would have never foreseen.This was not supposed to happen. This wasn’t the life
There were hardly any staff and the house was significantly smaller than the one she grew up in.When Samantha had tried to buy a few dresses for the upcoming event season, her new relatives were quick to shut down the transactions and knot-pick at her for going overboard with her spending.Needless
[Evelyn’s POV]I could do this...I could do this...Please let me be able to do this.The moment the car pulled up to the front of the venue, I felt my heart slip into my stomach. My nerves were so on edge that I was practically vibrating. The driver opened the door and allowed me to gracefully get o
[Evelyn’s POV]For a brief moment, I seriously thought I may have been hallucinating...Or, at least, I was hoping I was.Alexander had power—that much was obvious. But, unfortunately, that power did not extend past the royal family. This was after all a Luna gathering that was being held by the prin
It was a rather bold assumption for me to make; however, if I was wrong, she wouldn’t have wasted any time showing off her ring or gloating about her new marriage to Liam. Instead, my rowdy and obnoxious Stepsister was choosing to be, intentionally, quiet.As easy as it would have been for me to qu
[Third-Person’s POV]Evelyn tore her eyes from Caroline’s stunned expression to find that Isabella and Samantha wore similar looks. Clearly, the woman wasn’t used to being spoken to in such a direct and mildly rude manner. However, I wasn’t going to simply stand there and have the woman talk down to
[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
