Chapter 57
Evelyn’s POV
Kane is actually serious.
He hadn’t just been trying to put on a show in front of Alexander or simply spread rumors. We are actually going on a date.
So now I have to humor him. I’m standing in front of our bathroom mirror, doing some final touch ups on my makeup and making sure every hair is in place. It feels silly to put in all of this effort just for Kane, but this is bigger than just him.
This is the first time we’ll be going out in public together. We’re willingly going somewhere as husband and wife, and we’ll be seen by the general public. Therefore, I need to look the part of Luna to those who haven’t witnessed the last few weeks within the pack house.
I think I’ve done a good job. My hair is curled, my lips are painted a soft red, and I’m wearing a beautiful yet modest dress. At least I won’t embarrass Kane by appearing as some couch potato.
Sighing to myself as I realize I’m officially ready, I leave the bathroom and discover Kane is not in the bedroom. He’d been there before I’d started getting ready, so I assumed he would be waiting for me.
Confused, I grab my purse and head out of the bedroom, startling as I nearly run into a wolf waiting just outside the door.
“The Alpha asked me to escort you to the front,” the man informs me.
“Oh, uh…okay?” I reply awkwardly.
The man then leads me down the hall until we reach the entryway. He opens the door, revealing that Kane is waiting on the porch.
He looks handsome. His black hair is perfectly styled and his suit fits him just right. It’s unfair how someone so annoying can be so goodlooking.
“What’s going on?” I ask him as I join him on the porch. “Why did you want me to meet you out here?”
“I was asking the guards to bring my car around,” he tells me nonchalantly. He glances my way, seeming to hesitate, his eyes slowly taking me in. However, he turns away without saying anything.
“Wait,” I begin, realizing what he means. “You’re driving us?”
Usually he has another wolf drive him around. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen Kane behind the wheel. Plus, if we have a driver then that would mean he wouldn’t have to be completely alone with me.
“Yes,” Kane presses out slowly. “I figured it was only right.”
As one of the guards pulls up in Kane’s black Audi, my eyebrows lift high as I watch Kane go to the passenger side door and open it up. He gestures for me to enter.
I can’t even say anything as I move forward, humoring him once more as I slide into the car and he closes the door. Immediately, my heart rate jumps as I register his scent all over the leather interior. I have to take a few calming breaths as Kane comes around to his side.
As we drive, Kane and I don’t try to fill the silence. Soft music just plays from the radio, but neither of us make unnecessary conversation.

Once we pull up to the restaurant, it’s my mouth that falls open this time. I didn’t think Kane was going to bring me somewhere run down, but I hadn’t expected this.
We’re at Craft – one of the area’s best restaurants that takes months to get into. Not to mention it’s very expensive.
I turn to Kane as he pulls up in front of the valet stand.
“We’re eating here?” I ask, still shocked.
“Yes,” he says plainly, putting the car in park before he opens his door. As he comes around the car and opens my door, I still feel like I’m trying to get my head on straight. Perhaps that’s why I take his offered hand and allow him to help me out.
Once we enter the restaurant, the staff seems to straighten, ready to impress Kane as they quickly seat us. Water and wine is immediately brought to the table.
