The Lightning Wolf Chronicles (Evelyn and Nadia) novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49: We’ll See Each Other Again Soon

Evelyn’s POV

.(75),

Sunlight hit my face, dragging me out of sleep. The Sentinel selection was done, the threat handled for now time to say goodbye to our

guests.

I woke up early to find the boys crashed in my room again. After yesterday’s panic attack, they seemed even more glued to my side. I tried

sneaking out of bed without waking anyone.

“Going somewhere?” Orion’s voice made me jump. He was sitting by the window, obviously hadn’t slept.

“King Nathan and the others are leaving today. Want to see them off.”

He stood up. “I’ll come with you.”

“Ori…”

“Don’t argue.” He cut me off. “At least let me walk you down.”

The others started stirring, and when they heard about the royal departure, everyone decided to tag along.

The main hall was already packed. King Nathan and Queen Selena were saying their goodbyes to Alpha Adam and Luna Isabella while

royal guards handled final prep.

“Evelyn!” Prince Alistair spotted me and walked over. “Thought I might miss you.”

“Your Highness.” I gave a small bow.

‘Cut the formal crap.” He grinned. “After these past few days, I think we’re friends, right?”

I smiled back. “Sure, Alistair.”

He pulled out his phone. “Wanna exchange numbers? I’m really interested in those combat techniques we talked about.”

I was surprised but got my phone out. Behind me, someone coughed clearly annoyed. Didn’t need to turn around to know who.

”

“Oh, and don’t forget about summer training,” Alistair suddenly remembered, turning to the boys. “Usually starts in July, but this year might be earlier. My father’s still working out timing with the other Alphas.”

“Summer training?” I looked at them confused.

“Learning and networking stuff,” Magnus explained, but his tone was stiff. All future leaders from different packs go to the royal territory

for training.”

“Oh.” I nodded, but felt this weird sense of loss.

‘This year should be interesting, Alistair continued, eyes flashing. “After all, so many unexpected things have happened.”

Taric walked over. The tall Sentinel still looked stone-faced, but something seemed softer when he looked at me.

“Little one,’ he said simply.

“Sentinel Taric. I craned my neck up at him.

–

He was quiet for a moment, then unexpectedly crouched down to eye level. “You’re special remember that. Whatever anyone says, don’t

doubt yourself.”

I was stunned. First time he’d spoken to me so gently.

“Also,” he pulled out his phone, “just call me Taric. If His Highness got your number, can’t let him beat me.”

I stared for a second, then burst out laughing. So the serious Sentinel had this side too.

After we exchanged contacts, he waved and went back to his group.

“Hey,” Alistair’s voice pulled me back. “Don’t look like that. It’s not goodbye forever – we’ll see each other again soon.”

“Yeah.” I managed a smile.

King Nathan and Queen Selena came over. The Queen hugged me gently. “Take care of yourself, dear. Can’t wait to see how much you’ve

grown next time.”

King Nathan patted my shoulder. “Your potential’s limitless – don’t waste it.”

The goodbyes went fast. I stood at the entrance watching the convoy disappear. Alistair waved from his car window until I couldn’t see

them anymore.

“Finally, Lucian muttered beside me.

“Don’t be such a brat.” I shoved him lightly. “Alistair’s a good guy.”

“Too good, Magnus said meaningfully.

I rolled my eyes and turned to go back inside. Unfortunately, Acacia appeared in the main hall like a bad rash, wearing her trademark fake

smile.

What a touching farewell, she said sweetly. Looks like little Evelyn’s got quite the fan club.

Do you need something, Acacia?” I didn’t have energy for her crap.

“Oh, nothing.” She acted casual. “Just curious how you manage to get so much attention. After all…” She looked me up and down. “You’re

really nothing special.”

“If you don’t need anything, move,” Elliot stepped in front of me.

Acacia’s eyes lit up with malice. “Speaking of which, I heard some interesting rumors. About someone sneaking into a certain mysterious

man’s room late at night…”

I frowned. “What?”

“Oh my, you don’t know what everyone’s saying?” She acted shocked. “The whole pack house is buzzing – saying you’ve got some secret

boyfriend. I mean, how else could a girl be close to so many boys but not belong to any of them? Unless…”

She paused dramatically. “Unless she’s already taken. And apparently this mystery guy’s got serious status, which explains why everyone

treats you so special.”

“You’re full of shit!” Nadia snapped.

‘I’m just repeating what I heard.” Acacia shrugged innocently. “How else could a girl move onto that floor, have all these amazing boys around her? Without connections, what else could explain it? Everyone’s wondering what methods you used.”

“Enough!” Orion’s voice was ice cold.

But Acacia had done her damage. She smiled smugly and walked away, leaving us all pissed off.

“Don’t listen to her garbage,” Milo said. “Everyone knows she’s stirring up trouble.”

But I knew once rumors started, they were hard to kill. Acacia always knew how to hurt people in the worst ways.

‘I’ll handle this,” Magnus said coldly.

‘Don’t bother.” I stopped him. “Let her talk. I don’t care.”
