Chapter Nineteen: The Beast Within
The air was thick with tension. The sky above, a patchwork of swirling clouds, mirrored the storm that raged in Evelyn's heart. Every day, she felt herself growing stronger and powerful as the days go by, yet the more she trained, the more she was confronted with the truth of her power—the truth of the bloodline that flowed through her veins. It was a constant reminder that she wasn't just any runaway bride; she was a force that could change the course of everything.
But as the days turned into weeks, the weight of the situation seemed unbearable and pressing. Alaric was still absent. She had not received a single word from him, and while the others claimed that he was handling matters with the other packs, Evelyn knew in her heart that something was wrong and she had know what it is. She couldn't shake the feeling that Alaric was in serious danger—or worse, that he had fallen into Darius's hands and trackers.
