But, there again, it was also meant to end a whole lot differently than it had.“Imagine my surprise when I, and the entire courtroom, was shown video evidence of your idiot son screaming at that mechanic to have the brakes taken out of the car,” the King slithered venomously. “There was absolutely
[Evelyn’s POV]A few days had passed since the trial and things weren’t exactly settling back to normal. Once the formal statements had been released from both the King and Alexander, every news outlet in the region was dying to get a personal interview out of either one of them.Alexander made it a
Of course, naturally, I never envisioned marrying a man who possessed ambitions of going against the actual Alpha King.Maybe, I should begin looking into some current political systems when I have a chance. While I finished reading through the bullshit statement, Oliver lightly cleared his throat
[Third-Person’s POV]Marital life for Samantha was not going the way she’d hoped and anticipated.Her husband refused to even be in the same room as her, believing that she couldn’t be trusted to even share a meal together. Ever since the aphrodisiac mishap, Samantha had been the sole partner in the
[Third-Person’s POV]Much like Samantha and Michael’s personal situations of misery, Fiona had also taken a harsh tumble from grace.Her position in society had practically crumbled to nothing after the whole ordeal of having tampered with Evelyn’s tea mixture. Although Alexander had been decent eno
Everyone in the room went still.“What do you mean?” Fiona asked.Isabella curled her brow and smirked. “The only reason why Evelyn married Alexander is because of the money the Alpha King had paid Leonard and me. We told her that the only way we were going to be able to continue her brother’s treat
[Evelyn’s POV]“Oh! Evelyn, which shade of white were you thinking for the wedding dress?” Claire asked with jovial excitement.My eyes widened. “Wedding dress?” I questioned. “You’re not designing a whole new dress, are you? You know the first one was stunning. I couldn’t imagine wearing anything d
With a wave of her hand, Nina made her way back to Wendy’s wing of the house. I took my chance and, practically, dove head-first into the library and closed the door behind me. The adrenaline calmly wore off as I roamed through the numerous shelves in search of the topic that’s been harrowing my tho
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
