All Chapters of WOLFMAN- Jake & Evelyn: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Chapter 11EvelynI expected my father to say something more, but he didn’t. He is standing there like a statue, his eyes burning with unspoken rage, his mouth clamped shut. I am the one to break the silence with a desperate plea.“Dad, please tell me. Tell me what I need to know. I don’t understand.”I begged him to explain why he was so angry, but he didn't add a single word to his statement. Instead, he simply stood there and stared at me, as if waiting for me to understand on my own. When I don’t seem to get the message, he stands up and leaves the room. After a moment, he returns and examines the area with a stern gaze. Unsure of what he is looking for, I observe him in complete silence. What in the world is going on?“Dad..?” His erratic behavior is creeping me out. This is not the father I know and love. But it feels like his anger is not directed fully towards me. I glance around the room and the others seem to have locked their gaze on my father, or Mr. Black, as they would c

Chapter 13EvelynEverything about Jake seems so intense — from the way he walks to the way he looks at me. His gestures and movements make it seem as if he's holding onto something fragile. Though I'm not in love with him, I must admit I find him attractive. It's strange that my dad would let him stay at our home; it’s almost like having a babysitter around. His reaction to my ex texting was peculiar too — it was like he was concerned or something. There’s a lot going on that I don't understand yet; even my mom knows something, but she’s not even here.Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room shifts and I can’t catch my breath. Something has sucked all the oxygen out of the air, replacing it with a thick, noxious poison. My chest is tight and I'm gasping for air, but I can’t seem to take in enough. I'm losing consciousness as my vision narrows, and eventually I fall to the ground. My mind slips into a realm of nothingness.The last thing I see is a figure looming over me.The room shift

Chapter 15EvelynWhy is everyone deceiving me? Do I not deserve to know the truth? That was the question that had been plaguing my thoughts for hours. She had asked herself this question countless times, but it remained unanswered.The solution to the problem was unknown to her. But who actually had the answer?Why was she not worthy of knowing the truth? She was stuck in the shadows of their games, an outsider to the laughter shared between them.Is it alright for them to laugh behind my back? Maybe I am not smart enough. Maybe I'm foolish and insignificant.Her heart ached with the injustice of it all.She may not know the truth yet, but she would find it. And she would make sure no one ever deceived her again.A heavy wave of unworthiness washes over my heart. I can't comprehend why anyone would be so hurtful when I have done nothing to deserve such treatment. I have heard too many lies.Following what had happened, I scurried inside, securing the door before sprinting up the stai

Chapter 17Evelyn“W-what do you want?” I clench my jaw, trying to keep my voice from quivering and I'm boiling with rage at Jake and the others. I fear talking to Jake. Angry and disappointed, he lied to me. But simultaneously, I’m confused. Why have I been threatened like this? What have I done to deserve this treatment?I didn’t think Jake would still be at the cottage, but the others must have gone. I quickly glance around the perimeter but couldn’t see any other of his family. The look on his face is unfamiliar; it almost looks as if he regrets his actions. Why? For the lies, for the broken trust?I’m overwhelmed by a feeling of being lost. I can't make sense of this.“W-what. What do you want?” I ask once again. My voice trembles as I speak.His expression is peculiar. Is he sorry? For the deception, for going behind my back?He doesn’t answer.I don't know him well, yet the emotions swirling inside me are overwhelming. I'm sure I can sense the sorrow in his eyes. But it's too l

Chapter 19EvelynI can't believe what I'm seeing. I must be dreaming. Eric is sitting in my house, and I never thought he could find me. My heart leapt into my throat, and I thought I might faint. He was here—in my house—which was over ten hours away from my last residence. It simply couldn't be true.We stood there for a moment, neither of us daring to speak. The tension thick between us. He looked the same, but still didn’t. His normally bright blue shining eyes were dull with some feeling beyond them I couldn’t decipher. His expression was almost regretful. It must have been a trick of the light; this man showed no remorse. How could somebody act so callously?I stared in disbelief as he stood in my kitchen, like he had been there forever. He looked the same, though maybe a bit flushed, as if he had run here. My brain couldn't process all of this right since I was noticing so many extra details; his hair was slightly mussed, his shirt creased from his journey, his hands shaking ev
