[Evelyn’s POV]Today my boyfriend, Liam, will finally propose to me in front of my father.He didn’t inform me in advance, but it was already widely discussed amongst the servants for a whole week. If he wanted it to be a surprise, then I was more than prepared to act like it was one.But I wasn’t s
[Evelyn’s POV]Before I even had the chance to ask who it was my parents were choosing to give me away to, Isabella stepped forward with a wide grin on her face.“It's Young Alpha Alexander from the Moonstone Pack,” she said.My heart sank. Within seconds, the shock was beginning to sink in.I wasn’
[Evelyn’s POV]I hadn’t wanted to get out of bed that morning. The moment my eyes peeled open, I was instantly filled with horrible regret and an overwhelming sense of anxiety.This wasn’t how I was supposed to be feeling—Not on the day of my own wedding.I kept wondering if I had made the right cho
[Evelyn’s POV]When the cars pulled onto the Kingston Estate, my eyes were instantly drawn to the vast landscapes that surrounded the massive manor.The place was surrounded by gorgeous, tall pine trees that bordered the property like a natural wall of defense. I knew the Moonstone Pack was known fo
[Evelyn’s POV]For the first time in several years, I watched my father’s face break out into a look of pure fear.My father was never known for being a weak man. He had never been one to grovel or plead when mistakes were made. He had always worn a stern, unwavering stoic expression. Even during th
[Evelyn’s POV]Ever since I made the hasty, bold decision to kiss Alexander, he’d been eyeing me with a complex expression.Even though the priest had declared us husband and wife, and that it was his right to kiss and embrace his Luna, Alexander remained unfazed and unmoving. It made me feel incred
Within seconds, I felt something hard pressing into my back. I glanced over my shoulder to find Alexander’s Beta holding a gun to my spine. Every muscle in my body went stiff as stone as I slowly turned back to face him.“What is this?” I asked, shakily.“Keep your eyes on me and answer carefully,”

[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
