[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
Samantha laughed in agreement. “Yeah, she’s a Luna that prefers to wear sweatpants and tank tops, and would rather go barefoot all the time.”She and Isabella broke out into giggles, while Caroline chose to watch the whole encounter from the side.Naturally, Evelyn felt uneasy with all the insults f
[Evelyn’s POV]My heart was slamming frantically in my chest. As the room grew louder in muffled whispers and obvious stares in my direction, all the blood in my body began rushing to my ears.Everything Fiona was throwing at me felt like taking one hurtful punch after another. I’d never been the ma
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
