[Third-Person’s POV]Wendy Kington found it hard to believe that she had to do this very same jaunt to Alexander’s office, yet again. The last time she had made this same journey to the other side of the house was back when Alexander was struggling to grasp the idea of Michael being back in the pict
[Third-Person’s POV]How the hell could she have gone to see Isabella? Had she lost her mind? Alexander couldn’t begin to comprehend his wife’s way of thinking when it came to taking such rash action. He’d practically had to drag her out of the house when it came time to leave for that ridiculous
“Search everywhere,” he told them. “There’s no way that none of them aren’t around.”It didn't make sense. If the place was truly empty, then Evelyn would have realized that and returned right back to the manor. But according to Wendy and Nina, she’d been gone for hours.Alexander liked to think tha
[Third-Person’s POV]EVELYN!!Alexander wasn’t sure if his scream remained locked in his own mind or if it had been spoken out loud. Either way, he’d been knocked back against the nearest wall from the pure shock that stared him directly in the face.For a man like Alexander Kingston, carnage wasn’t
Damnit. He had a point. But something still had to be done. Every minute that passed felt like taking a risk all on its own.“Call Ian,” Alexander instructed. “Tell him to get here as soon as possible.”Ian was Alexander’s high-level healer and well-trusted friend of many years. When the car acciden
[Evelyn’s POV]Cold.That was the only thing I could process. I was cold. Freezing...Hollow.I felt as though I were a porcelain vase that suffered a deep, shattering crack in the base, causing me to lose everything I had inside. I was drained. Weak.Worst of all I kept slipping in and out of consci
Finding her wasn’t going to be a problem, he figured. The real question was what he was going to do with her once she was brought in...“Sir,” Oliver spoke up. “I just received a notification that Ian has arrived. I’m going to brief him on what’s happened and bring him down here.”He silently nodded
[Third-Person’s POV]Apart from the injuries beneath the face wrap, Evelyn had sustained numerous small lacerations around her upper and lower chest. A badly sprained wrists and a few broken fingers. Ian paid special attention to each injury while going about his best to have her patched up or splin
“Yes,” Henry said.My brows lifted. “Really?”His low chuckle caused my cheeks to flush. “Yes, Evelyn, I would happily testify.”“Thank you,” I said graciously. “The requests for the warrants are currently being written up as we speak. I’ll keep you posted about the court date when the time arrives.
[Evelyn’s POV]I had to admit, I was very glad that I had given the idea of training a second chance. It offered me a feeling I never thought I could experience. Control. Balance. A deeper sense of self-confidence.After Alexander had made that unexpected appearance at the training tent, and after h
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
