LOGIN“It’s okay,” I say, trying to reassure him with a smile he knows is false. If he couldn’t already read it on my face, I know he can feel my unease through our bond. It’s so hard for me to lie here still.Doing nothing.“Maybe you could try talking to her?” Alexander suggests.I glance at her face, w
EvelynI want to be sitting in the empty chair next to Emma’s bed. Dr. Zorinski told me to stay horizontal in my bed, and I nodded, completely intending to ignore her instructions once she was out of the room.But she knows me too well.“Evelyn,” she said, “listen to me. You and your baby are safe,
EvelynThe restraint that Alexander displayed in wolf form was monumental.I rushed out of the tent when his roars approached, and I watched as he tore through the temporary camp. I watched as he sent tents flying—but didn’t touch a single werewolf.Lucas grabbed me and started to run, but the snarl

EvelynI stand with my heart threatening to beat clear out of my chest as Alexander looks me over with those penetrating blue eyes. I feel so exposed beneath his gaze that I half expect him to find the truth hiding in the folds of my mind.Yet he clearly believed me based on the punishment that he d
EvelynI’m so relieved when one of the ministers proposes my expulsion. I work hard to hide my excitement that I’ll finally be able to leave the palace and return to my family.So it comes as quite a shock when the punishment the king lands on instead is having me clean the grand ballroom.In fact,
Evelyn“Stay where you are.”Alexander’s voice sounds different than usual, and I freeze at the commanding tone. Most of the words out of his mouth are commanding, but this…I recognize it from a few encounters I’ve had before. Almost as if his voice isn’t merely coming from where he’s standing behi
