The Lightning Wolf Chronicles (Evelyn and Nadia) novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171: Many Things Have Changed

Evelyn’s POV

I took a deep breath, facing Lucian’s request. This conversation was coming sooner or later.

“Fine,” I said, “just let me give her the keys first.”

I hopped out of the car and pulled the keys from my pocket, handing them to Sophia.

‘Drive carefully on this terrain,” I warned.

“I’ve driven before, you know,” she rolled her eyes.

‘Don’t let her drive!” Freya yelled from the window. “Orion, if you want to live, don’t let her near that wheel!”

Freya and I broke into laughter. Sophia was notoriously terrible behind the wheel despite all her training.

Orion silently took the keys from Sophia. “I’ll drive. I’d prefer to arrive in one piece.

I grabbed a jacket and blanket from the tactical vehicle and tossed them to Freya Try to sleep if you can. We’ve been up for almost two days straight.”

“Yes, boss,” she mock-saluted as I climbed back into the SUV next to Lucian.

“So why’d you need Orion gone?” I asked directly. “What can’t be said in front of him?”

“Can’t I just want some time with an old friend?” Lucian answered, his voice gentle.

“It’s just… things are different now.”

“A lot’s changed since you left, Tiny,” Magnus said from the driver’s seat. “We don hang out together like before. Everyone’s got their own responsibilities now, preparing for our official roles. He paused. “Will you tell us what really happened that night? Was it Acacia?”

“I don’t want to talk about that,” I turned to the window. ‘I’m trying to forget it. But I’m not the same person anymore.”

“We can see that,” Lucian said softly. “You seem stronger.”

I nudged his shoulder. “Thanks for the gear. It saved my life more than once. And the birthday gifts… didn’t think you guys would remember.”

“How could we forget? Magnus reached over and squeezed my hand. “You’ve always mattered to us. We just hoped we mattered enough to you for at least a text letting us know you were okay. We were near the training center several tim, but you only sent that formal letter.”

“You know I wasn’t allowed.

“That’s bullshit, Magnus s voice hardened. ‘If you really wanted to see us, Alpha ing Nathan would’ve made it happen. Commander Taric would’ve brought you himself.”

“Stop!” I snapped. “My whole life Ive been the weak one, the Beta’s daughter whe needed protection. People only noticed me because I was your friend. I needed to prove myself on my own!”

I took a breath to calm down. “Even if you don’t get it, I had to choose Sentinelining. It was hard, but I did it. I’ve been working my ass off to show what

I can do.”
