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
[Third-Person’s POV]Alexander wasn’t going to lie. He was fairly annoyed and slightly hurt.He wasn’t used to people giving him questionable looks or rather looks of suspicion. Any decision he’d ever made was met with immediate, trusting obedience. Amongst gaining countless pieces of land and expan
[Third-Person's POV]What the fuck is wrong with me? Why can’t I just focus on what needs to get done? Alexander had been staring at the same godforsaken pile of papers for over an hour. Not a single one was read or signed. He hadn’t felt this useless since his initial breakup with Rena. For Christ
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
