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
[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
[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]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
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
[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
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
[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
[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
Oliver had specifically expressed the importance of releasing a follow-up statement that could not only save face but rebuke anything the King had to say in regard to Alexander’s character.While Alexander was busy working on his newest press release, I had taken up my time in the greenhouse. I’d su
[Third-Person’s POV]Fiona felt frantic. Her nerves were growing more and more strained and coiled by the second.No. No, surely, Caroline had to be wrong in her assumption that she would be so clumsy and foolish as to leave something so vital behind.That night has been a manic blur from start to e
