[Evelyn’s POV]Before I even had the chance to ask who it was my parents were choosing to give me away to, Isabella stepped forward with a wide grin on her face.“It's Young Alpha Alexander from the Moonstone Pack,” she said.My heart sank. Within seconds, the shock was beginning to sink in.I wasn’
[Evelyn’s POV]I hadn’t wanted to get out of bed that morning. The moment my eyes peeled open, I was instantly filled with horrible regret and an overwhelming sense of anxiety.This wasn’t how I was supposed to be feeling—Not on the day of my own wedding.I kept wondering if I had made the right cho
[Evelyn’s POV]When the cars pulled onto the Kingston Estate, my eyes were instantly drawn to the vast landscapes that surrounded the massive manor.The place was surrounded by gorgeous, tall pine trees that bordered the property like a natural wall of defense. I knew the Moonstone Pack was known fo
[Evelyn’s POV]For the first time in several years, I watched my father’s face break out into a look of pure fear.My father was never known for being a weak man. He had never been one to grovel or plead when mistakes were made. He had always worn a stern, unwavering stoic expression. Even during th

[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
