Evelyn’s POV

“Hold up – you two spent all that time together and never talked about how old you are? Mark that us a glance through the rearview mirror.

Freya sighed. “When you’re just trying to survive each day, age isn’t exactly top of mind.”

“Seventeen,” I said with a shrug. Had my birthday right before getting captured.

‘Seventeen?” Freya’s eyes widened. “That makes Brandon even more disgusting! And you were already in college?

The car pulled up to the castle’s side entrance. Freya pressed her face against the window, taking in the view. “Wow, it’s amazing,”

I yanked the door open and pulled Freya out. “Come on! Aria’s probably upstairs with Luna Selena waiting for us.” I couldn’t wait to see Alistair and Rowas properly – I’d barely been conscious during the rescue.

“Someone’s eager, Mark teased, trailing behind us. Wonder who you’re so excited to see?”

“Knock it off,” I said, heading for the elevator. “I haven’t seen them in almost a month. Why is this thing so damn slow?

‘Chill. They’re just as anxious to see you.”

The elevator doors finally opened and I rushed toward Luna Selena’s suite. The moment I saw her, my eyes welled up. Without thinking, I ran into her arms.

“My child,” she whispered, holding me tight. “You had us all so worried.”

‘I missed you too. My voice cracked a little. “Didn’t realize how much until now.

“Are you really okay?” She held me at arm’s length, studying my face. “I hear you brought back someone special

I turned to see Freya hovering awkwardly at the doorway. ‘Come meet Luna Selena.

“Sorry,” Freya said quietly. “Mark just dropped me off and left. Didn’t know if I should barge in.”

Smart man,” Luna Selena smiled. “He knows better than to get caught in our girl talk.”

Luna Selene, this is Freya, daughter of the Crescent City Pack Alpha.”

Freya looked down as I mentioned her title. I got it having lost her pack, she probably felt she didn’t deserve the title anymore.

Luna Selena took Freya’s hand gently. I’ve heard about your courage from Alpha King Nathan. If you need help finding your people, just ask. You’re part of our family now

“Evie!” Ana burst out of the bathroom and slammed into me. Could you please getting hurt? The medical ward’s gonna name a bed after you at this

rate!”

“She’s back!” Nadia charged in from behind, tackling me until we all tumbled on ballistic. Thank god they didn’t know you were captured they would ve lost it

the carpet. When I beard about your mission, the guys nearly went

pletely.”

“Missed you too,” I laughed, trying to untangle myself. But you’re crushing me. This position sucks.”

Nadia pulled me up but kept an arm around my shoulders. “Freya’s working behind the scenes with Cyrus tonight, but you both need to look the part. Check out these options. She glanced at Freya. “If you hate any of them, just say so. Evelyn always complains about fancy clothes, but we always win that battle.”

‘I’m sure they’re fine, Freya said softly, touching a dark evening dress.

“Seriously, speak up,’ I nudged her. “They won’t be offended. Otherwise, you migh end up in some hideous bright blue leather nightmare.”

Freya’s nose wrinkled. ‘Um, that sounds…”

‘While we don’t currently stock bright blue leather,’ Luna Selena laughed, we could probably find some if that’s your preference. Just be honest if you don’t like something. No point being uncomfortable all night.”

The next hour flew by in a whirlwind of makeup, hair styling, and outfit selections.

After everything I’d been through, these social events didn’t scare me anymore. Tonight was semi-formal, and while I wasn’t clear on all the details, our job was to protect Alistair and Rowan. Apparently, some women had shifted their attention from Alistair to Rowan recently. Luna Selena explained this while Aria and I doubled over laughing.

“You should’ve seen these women pivot from Alistair straight to Rowan, Aria wheezed. ‘Poor guy was dodging grabby hands all night like he was in some kind of obstacle course. And Alistair that jerk just stood there trying not to crack up. I finally had to step in and remind those vultures that Rowan was on

duty.”
