The Alpha Slipped Inside The Wrong Sister novel Chapter 70

Evie’s pov

The sky was dark now with a thousand stars scattered over it like pretty glitter. It was late. Maybe past eleven in the night.

I turn in my bed to look at the small clock on the nightstand. It was 11:45. So close to midnight.

Most wolves would be asleep by now seeing as a long day was ahead tomorrow. Tomorrow I am to start my first session training the silver blood warriors. Tomorrow-

I sighed and sit up, my eyes peering out the window. Serena stirs in the back of my mind. ‘You’re restless.’ She points out.

‘No shit captain obvious,’ I snapped. She barks out a laugh, not taking my tone seriously.

‘You still think of him.’ She taunts and I grit my teeth, throwing my legs over the bed.

‘I’ve told you to not speak about him!’ I snarl, wishing I could silence her but she’s a part of me.

‘I don’t have to,’ she utters. ‘He’s already in your head.”

She wasn’t wrong. Ryan has been taunting my mind and my body. I could feel my lips tingle at the thought of even touching him again.

I shook my head, frustrated and angry at myself.

I walked to the window and looked out into the woods. These very woods hold memories. Memories I wish to forget.

‘You’re thinking about the waterfall,’ Serena snorted and I let out a huff.

“I’m not,” I said out loud and opened the window. The cool air fanned against my face and I breathed it in. I let out a sigh. Even the cool air couldn’t help my racing thoughts.

‘Liar,’ she snorts.

I shoot her a mental glare and she laughs.

I needed to breathe. In here the room felt suffocating, as if the walls were closing around me. I looked at the trees and sniffed. I couldn’t catch any scent of anyone except for the patrolling wolves. But they were pretty far, close to the border.

‘You want to go to the waterfalls, don’t you?’ Serena’s tone is playful and I roll my eyes.

‘Shut it,’ I grumble and push myself through the window. The cool air hits me immediately, I needed to relax and what always brought me that feeling here was the waterfall…..or Ryan. But the last one wasn’t an option.

My bare feet land on the ground and I crouch instinctively as I scan the area. The night was quiet but the distinct sound of the patrolling wolves moving along the borders reached my ears.

They are far enough that they won’t hear me head to the waterfall.

‘I knew you were dying to go back to that waterfall,’ Serena teased and I nearly groan aloud. My own wolf was teasing me.

I straighten and look back at the pack house behind me, my window specifically. It would be easy to climb back in

there.

With a smirk, I rush into the forest before I can change my mind. The cool grass brushes against my feet as I sprint between the trees. The night air rushes past my face and for the first time all evening, I could finally

breathe.

The deeper I run, the stronger the scent of pine and moss becomes. Then I hear it. The waterfall.

The sound of rushing water echoes through the trees and grows louder the more I get closer. My pace slows slightly as the clearing finally reveals itself. It was just like I remembered.

A feeling of warmth spread in my chest as I gaze at the stream.

Three years ago, this was where-

Stop Evie, don’t let your mind stray there. It was in the past and I should leave it like that.

I step further into the clearing and the soft mist from the waterfall brushes against my skin lightly. I smile. I had missed this place.

Maybe a little too much.

I sighed and looked around the area. No signs of wolves anywhere close by. It was just me.

With a happy smile, I start to peel off my clothes. I place them on a dry rock on land and then before I could regret it, I jump right into the cold water.

The sudden rush made me come up for air in seconds but instead of a gasp leaving my throat, it was a giggle. If only Atlas could be here and enjoy this with me. He’d surely love it.

The thought of my son brought an ache to my chest. I had to train these wolves as quickly as possible so I could get back to my son. Being away from him was torture.

‘He’s strong,’ Serena whispered. ‘Just like you.’

She’s right. Atlas was strong for his age. Still, he needed his mother here with him. My baby was only three years old.

Trying to push my aching heart aside, I dive back into the water and just swim until my body gets used to the cold.

But then suddenly, Serena stirs in my being. ‘Evie.’

‘What?’ I question, stiffening as I sense she’s now alert.

I push my head up, gasping for air and then freeze when I hear a twig snap. I spin around swiftly and my heart jumps in my throat.

Ryan.

Ryan’s pov

Sweat drenched my skin as I tossed and turned in my bed. I couldn’t fucking sleep and it didn’t help that Apex wouldn’t stop stirring every time a memory pushed into our mind.

I winced, closing my eyes tightly before reopening them. I snapped my eyes to the window. It was dark out. I’ve been like this for hours. It didn’t help that earlier tonight, I could barely concentrate during the meeting with

Gavin about when training starts. My attention kept drifting.

Back to her……

Just thinking about her made something unsettling stir inside my chest. I sat up quickly and drag a hand through my hair roughly.

I needed air. I needed to fucking breathe.

I swung my legs over the side of the bed and stood. The cool wooden floor pressed against my bare feet as I pad toward the window, almost desperately to feel the chill of the night against my sweaty flesh.

The night air hit my face the second I slid the window open but it didn’t help cool me off. I needed to-

‘Run.’ Apex growled and I didn’t hesitate. I jump out of the window, landing on my bare feet and take off into the woods.

I’m not sure where I am heading but the sound of rushing water gets louder and louder the deeper I go into the woods. I am heading to the waterfall.

My steps slowed as the trees began to thin and reveal a waterfall. It’s the very same waterfall I’ve been going to for three years. I stumbled on it when I was on a run. I wasn’t sure why but this place drew me to it like a magnet.

But every single time I went for a dip in there, it felt like I was waiting for something or someone. And every single time I left, I left with a heavy heart.

Tonight felt different though. Tonight, I could feel it. I wasn’t sure what and how to put my finger on it but I could feel relief.

And as I stepped more into the opening and closer to the edge of the waterfall, I realized why. Because the second I see her emerging from the water, my wolf growls out a name.

‘Evie.’
