[Third-Person’s POV]Alexander had been extremely wary of Evelyn for the remainder of the day.He’d overheard most if not all of her speech to Michael down in the holding cells. Upon her bumping into him because the lighting was so poor in that particular area of the house, her look of complete dism
[Evelyn’s POV]It was strange seeing Alexander back in his wheelchair with his mask firmly secured on half of his face. He looked fierce and unquestionable. And that was exactly what we wanted.“You do realize that you’re coming with us, don’t you?” he questioned pointedly.My eyes nearly bugged out
[Evelyn’s POV]I really didn’t like the way the Alpha King was addressing Alexander. I knew the man was older, but there was truly no need for him to speak in such a condescending tone. Since I grew up with similar behavior from Isabella and Samantha, I knew that it all stemmed from insecurity. Kn
[Third-Person’s POV]The very second the verdict had been announced, Alexander felt the pressure that was pressing on his shoulders finally release.They’d done it.Michael had been given his sentence and was currently in the process of being taken back through the side doors. Unlike before, the man
Alexander cleared his throat. “That is enough questioning for today,” he announced. “I will be releasing a full statement of today’s event which will be released sometime in the upcoming days.”From there, all three of them got into the car and made their way off to the house.Alexander slid into th
[Evelyn’s POV]Soaking in the bath helped a little.I mean, at the very least, it took the ache out of my muscles and rolled over some of the anxiety I’d stored away from earlier. I just wished it had the ability to ease my ever-shifting emotions as well.My point in telling Alexander my feelings wa
His brows furrowed. “It’s very possible. Are you worried that you may not be strong enough to deal with them as they come?” he asked lightly.“I don’t know. Maybe I’m just worried about potentially losing everything in the process,” I said. “Tell me what’s going to happen when this story about the c
[Evelyn’s POV]“Wait, what?!”Had he really said what I thought I heard?Did Alexander seriously just throw that wild card topic out at a time like this??For Christ’s sake, the man was literally lying between my legs with his face pressed between my thighs! His tongue was still stealing and wiping
As time went on, Evelyn was beginning to feel irritably restless and exhausted. Alexander, on the other hand, felt the arousal in his lower abdomen grow stronger.When he had her by the waist, he couldn’t keep himself from pressing his nose into the inner curve of her neck. She smelt of sweat and fl
[Third-Person’s POV]Evelyn knew that look Alexander had on his face all too well. She’d become an expert in knowing what his interests were. For some reason, he really seemed to enjoy watching her more lethal side come out. It wasn’t until more recently, that Evelyn even realized that she had that
[Third-Person’s POV]Alexander was more than glad to know that Evelyn’s training had only managed to progress from that point on. Between hearing her own personal recounts of her sessions as well as checking in with either Erik or Thomas, he was satisfied.With one less thing pressing on his mind, A
Instead of helping him up, I actually reached down and snagged one of his ankles and, with all my strength, dragged me across the room. I heard the faint chuckles of Erik and Alexander as they watched this entire scene unfold.I’m sure it looked utterly ridiculous. Thomas was more than twice the siz
[Evelyn’s POV]I glanced at the mat on the floor but didn’t move an inch.I took a deep breath and slowly let it out. “Alexander, wherever it is that you’re planning, I’m not sure—”“Will you please just trust me?” he prompted.I clenched my jaw and, against my better judgment, moved over to the mat
That same, familiar pair of hands that had a high tendency to hold me close at night, came to wrap around my waist. My head tilted to the side as Alexander gathered most of my hair onto one of my shoulders.It was hard to believe that there was once a time when he and I weren’t like this. The though
[Evelyn’s POV]I really tried not to let the whole matter bother me. I was fairly sure that I wasn’t the only person to exist that wasn’t trainable. Still, I felt horrible knowing that I had wasted Erik and Thomas’ time.Every muscle and joint in my body was aching and for what? I couldn’t even say
“Believe me, although you got a little wobbly at the end there, it’s good to see that you still have that fire in you?”I turned back to glance at him with a questionable look. “Fire?”The two shared a knowing look with each other. “We, uh, heard about what happened with your Stepsister.”“Word alwa
[Third-Person’s POV]Evelyn had lost count of the number of times her curled fist connected with the hanging punching bag. The first few times were fine, having been shown the proper form. However, after the tenth time, she was really beginning to feel the burn in various parts of her body. Her join
