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
But Wendy’s fuming anger wasn’t over yet.She glanced in the direction of Isabella and Samantha. She eyed them up and down as if to study them. Tilting her head toward me she gently inquired.“You’re family, I presume?”“Yes, my Stepmother, Isabella, and my Stepsister, Samantha,” I told her.The two
[Evelyn’s POV]For what it was worth, I appreciated Wendy trying to salvage whatever dignity I still had left at that point. Honestly, the moment I found out that Alexander wasn’t going to be able to attend, I should have found an excuse myself not to show up to this mess of a gathering.Having save
Alexander hadn’t realized how quickly the business would have taken him. He felt sort of bad for telling Evelyn to attend the event without him, even though he knew she was in good hands.Better still, he’s made the decision to be there when the car came around to pick them up for the event.“I’m su
[Evelyn’s POV]The second the car pulled away from the event hall, I felt Alexander’s hold on me lessened tremendously. He even went as far as to ease an inch away and glance out the window beside him, making me feel all the more self-conscious.Alexander had never touched me in that kind of a way.
[Third-Person’s POV]Well, it wasn’t the best Luna gathering but it was certainly a memorable one.The atmosphere drastically shifted once Alexander had shown up to escort Evelyn and Wendy home. By that point, it was the early evening and many of the other attendees began heading home as well.Carol
Isabella perked up instantly. “Oh, that’s a wonderful idea. That way we can have our own private conversations without any inconvenient interruptions.”“Agreed. There are many topics which could be discussed. Such as the right and proper way a Luna is meant to conduct herself in public,” Caroline re
It wasn’t long before I felt a dreadful feeling of someone watching from within the shadows of the room. My heart slammed violently against my rib cage as I dared to glance over my shoulder. I squinted my eyes and saw the frightening sight of someone emerging from the darkness.Isabella.I fought ba
[Evelyn’s POV]I couldn’t fathom how Michael managed to see through Alexander’s plan, much less how he managed to find me here.It felt as though I was being backed further into a corner with nowhere to turn to. It was bad enough that I had to consistently watch out for Isabella, why on earth was I
Having spoken to one of the managers at the junkyard, the two of them were directed to a nearby mechanic shop. At first, neither of them understood the relevance of taking the trip over there. However, the old man was rather insistent on the matter.“Trust me,” he’d said. “The answers you’re looking
[Third-Person’s POV]Unlike her husband, Isabella was well aware of the situation that was unfolding in front of all of them. She didn’t know who this Michael character was, nor did she really care. But ever since Evelyn showed up and began derailing her plans to get rid of Edward, she’d been lookin
[Evelyn’s POV]“Are you sure you’ll be alright by yourself?” Wendy asked for the third time.I tried to put on the most realistic-looking smile I could muster.“I promise, I’ll be fine,” I told her. “Don’t worry about me, okay? I’ll be busy taking care of Edward and chances are that no one will even
Michael tried to hold back a spiteful sneer. Surely, they all knew that he’d be filling in for Alexander for a little while. That being the case, why weren’t they showing the proper consideration for his respected title?Well, it’s obvious that the first thing I’m going to need to do as Alpha is tea
[Third-Person’s POV]Michael was a man who felt like he’d just hit the lottery.The morning he was due to head to Kingston Manor, he did it with the most energy he’d felt in months. Hell, he was practically buzzing with eagerness. He couldn’t wait to step into his role as Alpha.Even if it was only
A gentle smile curved her lips. “I bet she had no belief that the two of you would have made your marriage work out in the end,” she said with a smug tugging at the corner of her mouth.“You can best believe that,” I said with a laugh. “No doubt, she had high hopes that I would end up miserable.”We
[Evelyn’s POV]A toxically venomous feeling seeped through me.Of course...Why hadn’t I considered it sooner? I guess part of me didn’t want to believe that people were capable of such horrible things. I knew it sounded naive but from my own experiences, nothing had ever excelled further than petty
