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
[Evelyn’s POV]I should have just gone to bed.My body felt heavy and my feet were killing me. Yet the thought of going back to that damn bedroom which I pointlessly shared with a man who doesn’t want to have any part of me in his life, made me grimace with displeasure.Yes, I was tired—both physica
[Third-Person’s POV]Where the hell was she now?As Alexander finished up in the bathroom, he came out with the firm assumption to find Evelyn in her bed with one of her books tucked in her lap. But the woman was nowhere to be found.The Alpha couldn’t make any sense of why Evelyn would be out, poss
[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
