[Third-Person’s POV]Michael was seething.He was certain that fate was nothing but a cruel, cold bitch with a dark sense of humor.He knew rushing out of the dining room in such a brutish manner was not the best look for him. But as his patience and self-restraint were slipping away quicker by the
[Evelyn’s POV]“I don’t want you anyway near Michael, going forward,” Alexander said sternly.His voice cut through the serene silence I’d been working in since early that morning.I was certain that the moment Micheal had left, the house itself was finally able to relax. Unfortunately, Alexander’s
[Evelyn’s POV]Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea.I wasn’t too certain how my reaching out to Wendy was going to turn out. I mean, she was Alexander’s grandmother, after all. It would have made sense if she were to side with him once I got through explaining what was happening between him and me.T
But only Alexander was the Alpha of the family. I merely figured that because like every firstborn son of an Alpha would likely inherit the title, given it was their birthright.“I can see the wheels turning in your head, dear,” Wendy chuckled. “Yes, Alexander, having been the legitimate Kingston He
[Evelyn’s POV]I felt like I was sitting on the edge of my seat, waiting for Wendy to continue. This. This was the main reason why I had come to speak with her.Out of everyone in the house, she was the one who was supposed to know Alexander the best. Well, there was also Oliver...However, I highly
[Third-Person’s POV]Alexander knew that he had inherited his lethal death glare from his grandmother. It was a look that could have been trademarked because when it was used everyone in the general vicinity knew that it meant things were about to go down.It wasn’t often that Alexander was on the r
No. So, why had I treated her like she was one of my guards? That pained, devastated look she’d given him back then was burned into the side of his brain. She looked so confused and so hurt.“Alexander, do you mean to tell me that you’re still unable to open up about your feelings? Even to your own
[Evelyn’s POV]I’d truly hoped that coming to the market would have allowed some of the stress to disappear. I was in my happy place, after all.Unfortunately, because of all the things Wendy and I had covered, I ended up slipping into an ongoing train of thought that led me down several rabbit hole
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
