Evelyn's pov "I'm sorry Princess Evelyn but we've done everything we can for your fathe-" "No...no!" I screamed passionately at the top of my voice looking at every single face in the room with white walls around hoping for one simple sympathetic face but there was none. The only one that was looking at me was my stepmother with the broadest smile on her face masked as a sad frown.She walked towards me as though she was barely holding herself from skipping instead. "I already told you that there was nothing you could do Evelyn…" "NO…! Stay away, you witch!"With only the signal of her eyes, some burly guards came and grabbed me, drawing me away as the image of my father's bed grew smaller and my screams grew louder until I tore my eyelids open to find myself in bed soaked with sweat.It had all been a nightmare…I thought to myself wearily thinking about the meeting that would happen in just a couple of hours…the meeting to decide my father's fate…"Evelyn!" I had not even notice

Evelyn's pov"Coffee?" Kian said suggestively as he pushed over a small cup of coffee to my side looking at me with concern painted over his face and his handsome features.I accepted it slowly to the point that the movement was far too deliberate but that was the least of my concerns right now and I slowly slipped it between my lips and took its content without really tasting it.The meeting room was empty now except for both him and I because the elders and that witch who called herself my stepmother had stepped out for a break. I knew that they were now having a meeting amongst themselves to make the real decision and whatever they were going to do when they came back was going to be while the decision had already been made behind those doors. "This has to be some kind of joke!" I filmed angrily banging my face against the hardwood and table because I got nobody but it was happening right now and my contract husband watched me. I could feel his eyes crawling over my entire body in

Evelyn's povThere was a pit in my stomach as I was walking back to the meeting room, part of me didn't even want to show up again after the break I felt like I had already lost like I had let my father down…but Kian was encouraging me not with words but with his presence with his fingers wrapped in my own as we continue to walk towards the direction of the meeting room.Finally, we were seated again in our previous positions and soon every other member of the elder council including my stepmother, this time she brought her son Kelvin along and he looked like he was being frog marched into the place but I didn't bother to divide my attention to him.In the end, he was a little bit less than a puppet that was just being pulled at its strings by his mother and nothing else, it didn't look like he had many bright ideas in his head and just went ahead with whatever his mother suggested to him as for my stepmother she sat with such confidence her legs crossed and her shoulders held high wi

Chapter 27 Evelyn's pov"You are not alone…" he assured me in his deep and resonant voice and I didn't even realize when more tears started coming out of my eyes but this time it wasn't just purely out of sadness there was a feeling of relief that truly, I wasn't all alone.The next day I got a call from the hospital, and I would have gone there anyway even if I had not gotten that call initially. I planned to go by myself but then I remembered the conversation that I had with my contract husband at that point while I stood in the mirror brushing my hair and raising my eyebrows. How far could I really trust this man that I had only known for a couple of weeks?I allowed another stroke to pass through my hair as I remembered the council members that had immediately withdrawn their help and I had known some of those people since I was a child. There was no doubt about it that I would just have to trust him now more out of desperation than anything else.So I informed him that I was goi

Evelyn POVArriving back in the pack house did not lighten the weight that was resting heavily on my chest, in fact, it only seemed to be intensified by the familiar surroundings that I had so many memories of my father seeming to play with me and I shook my head reminding myself once again that he was still alive and he was one of the strongest Men I knew he would definitely wake up from that hospital bed.Wouldn't he?Was I just being delusional because I couldn't accept letting go of my Father? Was there a chance that the last conversation we had with each other was really truly going to be the last one just thinking about it was enough to have hot tears bubbling up in my eyelids and I quickly had to wipe them away with the back of my hand watching Kian to see if he had noticed.He looked at me with a warm smile and didn't say anything, redness came up to my cheeks. All I had been trying to do since I met him was hide just how vulnerable I was but somehow he still managed to see m
