Chapter 128
Kane’s POV
What the hell was wrong with her?? How could she not see how reckless her behavior was?
If something had happened to her, everything would have fallen apart!
The very air had become unbreathable from the amount of tension that filled the room. The sheer fact that Evelyn had the nerve to be angry with me was damn nearly hysterical. To say I was furious was fucking understatement.
Yet, witnessing her own rage spurred this feeling within me. A heated intensity that was quick to cloud my judgment. Was it my wolf?
My gaze unconsciously dropped from Evelyn’s searing eyes to her lips, where I felt the unfounded urge to capture her mouth with my own. I knew fairly well that I shouldn’t-and for numerous reasons.
Our relationship was purely contractual. The only time we needed to show any form of physical intimacy was if we were around others. However, the impulse was there, nonetheless.
I should have known that Evelyn would have pulled something as insane as this. Sneaking into the restricted section in the medical ward-yep, it was the exact thing she would do.
As exhausted as I was, I felt the sudden absence of Evelyn. I blindly reached over to her side of the bed to check for her. Gone.
My eyes shot open, and I scrambled to switch the light back on. I frantically searched the room for Evelyn, but she was nowhere to be found. On the contrary, I had a gruelling feeling that I knew exactly where she was.
A sudden wave of indisputable anger came rushing to the surface. My wolf was the driving factor behind it. It was like fire beneath the skin.
And now…Now that same heat that roared to life in my rib cage began to travel lower. I felt the gentle press of Evelyn’s hands against my chest.
“You are going to be the death of me,” I muttered. “You’ll end up driving me into sheer insanity.”
I was still fighting for my clarity. Between the soft expression on her face and the way her hair fanned out around her, I couldn’t tear my eyes away.
So, fucking beautiful, my wolf hummed.
My whole body went stiff. This sudden thought came out of nowhere. I couldn’t bring myself to deny it. Why bother lying when clearly my own subconscious knew it was true?
God help me. It was becoming more and more difficult to deny this shift that was occurring between us. Things were changing, and I wasn’t prepared to deal with the repercussions.
It was as though I felt things on a deeper level than before. The worry that washed over me when I discovered Evelyn wasn’t safe beside me had me contemplating murder. I’d nearly surrendered my entire control to my wolf all for the sake of tracking her down.
Evelyn’s soft blue eyes searched my face. I was beginning to see the cracks of guilt creeping through her features.
“I’m sorry,” she said. She’d spoken so quietly, I nearly missed it. “I needed to know what was going on with the new rogues. I needed to see it for myself.”
Most of my anger had flizzled out by that point, yet my voice came out ragged.

“What you did was reckless,” I said accusingly. Anger aside, my curiosity was piqued by what Evelyn could have potentially discovered in those short minutes.
I rolled onto my side while still keeping my gaze locked on her. “Alright, tell me,” I demanded tightly. “What exactly did you discover?”
Evelyn propped herself up on her arms and failed to hide her delight as she spoke. “Even in their comatose state, I’m still able to help heal them.”
My brows lifted into my hair. I could hardly believe it. “Are you serious?”
She nodded her head. “Let me preface by saying that Diana clued me in on some of the rouges’ symptoms upon their arrival. I’m still shocked by the fact that all of their monitors claim to show zero brain activity, yet their heart rates and blood pressure are higher than humanly possible.”
I let out a deflated breath and rubbed my eyes. “As of now, no one has been able to come forth with any possible explanation for their erratic behavior.”
