[Third-Person’s POV]This was a far cry from how Evelyn appeared this morning.She looked as pale as a phantom.Her eyes were slightly pink and puffy from either crying or having been around a lot of dust. Or both.There was a noticeable tremble in her hands as she held them close to her. What truly
[Evelyn’s POV]I felt my heartbeat drumming frantically in my ears. It seemed like all the blood that was circulating in my body dropped to the floor as I became enwrapt in an icy cold blanket of realization.I almost didn’t believe Alexander. Because there was no way—not a single chance on earth—th
Michael was actually being kept inside of the house.A painful surge of emotion broke in my chest. I leaned back into Alexander’s chest but I turned away from him. Buried my face into the sheets and focused on settling my erratic heart rate.“Evelyn,” he started with a sense of urgency.“How could y
[Third-Person’s POV]Poor Alexander was certain he was going to give himself emotional whiplash. He’d gone from true panic over Evelyn’s panic attack that rendered her literally unconscious to now having every ounce of heat in his body directed to one specific place.His pants grew increasingly tigh
Much to her surprise and slight displeasure, he got up from the bed and made his way across the room. He placed himself down in one of the large Queen-Anne-style chairs. Evelyn’s brows furrowed.He crooked a finger toward her to come closer. Without a thought, she slid off the mattress and came to s
[Third-Person’s POV]“Are you hungover? You know the doctor informed you well in advance that you weren’t to drink while pregnant,” Leonard threw at his unhinged wife.He stared blankly at his wife as though she had finally lost her mind. Which wasn’t an uncommon occurrence in their home; however, t
As if that wasn’t hindering her mind enough, there was also no sign of whether or not her little trick on Evelyn actually panned out. On top of Alexander somehow disappearing, so did Evelyn and Michael. Not that she was thrilled about her annoying Stepdaughter showing up in the first place, but it w
[Third-Person’s POV]Alexander felt himself stuck at a crossroads of some sort.While he’d been patiently compiling all of the found evidence he intended to use against Michael in court, there was another issue that was due to rear its ugly head...Why hadn’t there been any public announcement over
“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
[Evelyn’s POV]“You want to train me?” I asked dubiously.God, even repeating that out loud sounded insane. I stared back at the two soldiers with a puzzled look, not knowing what to say in return.Nevertheless, they both nodded their heads and gave me expected looks.“Many of us back at the camp th
It made exiting in the Kingston Pack almost impossible. What was worse was that I seriously felt like I was neglecting my responsibilities as Luna.A few days had gone by since I nearly clawed out Samantha’s face. I had no idea what became of her or Liam since I walked out of that meeting. I should
[Eveny’s POV]I left the drawing room without sparing any of them a second glance.It was with a mixture of unbridled anger and my own sense of shame that I tore myself away. I needed to leave.I needed to get away from Samantha and Liam before I could do anything else. My emotions were scattered an
I can’t have her hating herself even more. Even if Samantha is deserving of such consequences. “Doing this to Samantha isn’t going to change anything,” he said calmly. “This isn’t who you are—”Evelyn’s lips pulled back in a sneer. “Maybe you don’t know who I am,” she bit out.Her words felt like t
[Third-Person’s POV]To say Alexander was shocked was a complete understatement.He had a hard enough time trying to wrap his mind around Evelyn wearing his mask piece. It became instantly clear that this had been the reason why she had called for Oliver before. Were the scars truly that horrible th
[Evelyn’s POV]I didn’t give Samantha a chance to respond to my question before I acted.Just the mere sight of that bitch having the gall to cackle and smile in front of me was enough to set me off. My hands had been itching to tear her to shreds the moment I set my eyes on her.I was thankful my w
[Third-Person’s POV]Samantha was at a loss for words.Her heart rate had escalated so intensely, that she could hear the blood flowing in her ears. There was no doubt that she looked guilty as ever. Her hands were beginning to sweat under the heavy set glare from the hulking Alpha that stood over h
He’d downed the small glass of bourbon and was shortly notified of Samantha’s arrival.He groaned. “Fine. Have them wait in the drawing room, I’ll be right there.”Alexander made his way back to his office where he was met with a startled-looking Oliver. A large part of him was still irritated about
