Chapter 0026
[Evelyn’s POV]
What the actual hell is going on?!
My heart was hammering in my chest, I was nearly certain that it was going to break through my rib cage. Alexander’s voice was sharp and tore through the air like a knife. I should have known that something was wrong from the moment I decided to follow Fiona out here.
Alexander would never have allowed me to come here. This had to have been all of Fiona’s doing. But why?
When I saw the whites of Alexander’s eyes, I felt as if my life in his pack was coming to an abrupt halt. His
s gaze landed on me before noticing that Fiona was even standing there. His brows were pulled together in confusion while glancing around the room.
“Look what Evelyn did,” Fiona said accusingly. “I told her to be careful because that box means so much to you, but she wouldn’t listen.”
Is she being serious?!
When he noticed the box Fiona had so brutishly thrown onto the ground that the look of confusion to that of anger. He snapped his head back to shoot me an accusatory look.
I parted my lips to speak but she jumped at the opportunity to make the situation ten times worse.

“It’s a good thing that you came when you did, Alexander,” she hummed. “I was just trying to tell Evelyn that shouldn’t be here, but she was rather insistent.”
“What?” I hissed. I gaped at her in sheer disbelief. “That’s not-”
“My God, she was practically rummaging through all of your private rooms and even carelessly knocked over that box there,” Fiona added breathlessly.
Alexander was deeply furious and instantly moved over to pick up the box from the floor. Based on the way he was clutching the box close to him, whatever was in that box had to have been the man’s most prized possession.
I wasn’t immediately able to see what was inside of the box All I knew was that Alexander was hesitant to open it, probably fearing for its current state.
Oh, please. Whatever is in that box, please don’t let it be broken.
His features softened with undoubtable worry. Whatever it was it had to have held great sentimental value to him.
His tone was filled with venom as he spoke. “What was your reasoning for entering these secret rooms in the first place?” he asked, tightly.
His Beta, Oliver, pulled out that same gun he once pointed in my back and aimed it right at me. I didn’t have time to muffle my sharp intake of breath.
Jesus Christ. This was a fucking setup.
I should have known that this whole thing was a damn trap. I should have never openly believed anything Fiona had said. The girl was a goddamn bully and a snake.
Fiona’s e eyes widened in shock over Alexander’s way of handling things. But her surprise swiftly resolved to a more passive disposition. She remained silent and watchful, probably eagerly awaiting for Oliver to pull the trigger.

I was finding it rather difficult to find the right words to say I had been placed Into such a compromising, sketchy situation, that I really wasn’t sure how it was going to end. It wasn’t as though Fiona was the one who spoke to the guards, insisting that I be let in.
That sneaky sociopath tricked me into introducing myself to most of the guards and making them believe that I was the one who demanded to be let in.
“Fiona told me that you wanted me to come here,” I said plainly.
She scoffed in defense and tried to appear innocent by folding her shoulders inward.
“Oh, that’s ridiculous. Everyone knows that these areas are off limits,” she contended.
“If that was true then why are you here?” I asked back. “Why would you drag me all the way out here, claiming that Alexander had asked for me to be here?”
No one spoke.
Fiona quickly shook her head in denial. “It’s not true.”
I took a solid step forward, feeling my own anger and desperation to save my own life coursing through me.
“It is true!” I declared. “And you wanna know how I can prove it?”
