Chapter 198
Kane’s POV
For the first time in a while, I truly felt like I had entered into a state of peace. Things with Evelyn and her developing Alpha persistently kept me on my toes, yes, but it wasn’t anything that I couldn’t handle.
The corner of my lip lifted upward from the simple thought of having witnessed her newly developed strength.
She’s going to be a force to be reckoned with, that’s for sure.
Both Evelyn and I had slipped back into a normal routine. She-back in either the lab or in the medical ward. Her care for others knew no bounds. Whereas I was back in my home office, skimming through paperwork and all incoming messages.
I was still somewhat surprised by how much attention we were receiving from outside packs in other northern territories. I suppose if all had gone to hell during the battle, and the rogues weren’t able to be stopped, they would have surely spread their destruction to other places.
Nevertheless, I just knew that all this growing attention was only going to amount to having to take part in some sort of public viewing. Ugh…
Speaking of which, my stomach churned the moment I got to the last letter in the pile. It was a letter from the king.
Gods only knew what the hell the man wanted now.
Begrudgingly, I tore into the envelope and pulled out the message.
Alpha Kane,
I expect all to be well between you and our dear Evelyn…
Already, I wasn’t keen on this letter. My brows drew together in disgruntled tension as I read on.
…Just as we previously anticipated, the interests of the general public are very intrigued by your and Evelyn’s striking teamwork and captivating marriage. Of course, they’re waiting for some sort of public statement from the two of you sooner rather than later.
And granted, I understand that the two of you are in the midst of still recovering; however, there is only so much I am able to do to hold off the public’s growing interest…
“Where the fuck is he going with this?” I questioned myself.
….If you’re not willing to make consistent public appearances, then might I suggest you consider implementing a new phase within your marriage? You said so much yourself the last time we spoke that you’re interested in starting a family of your own.
If people knew that you were trying for an heir, then the general public would be more than

understanding toward your need for privacy.
Do keep me updated on your decision when it comes to this.
Your King.
I let the letter fall to the desk while I slumped back in my chair, utterly baffled over this man’s sheer audacity.
“What the actual fuck?” I growled under my breath.
Who the hell was he to demand that Evelyn and I start trying for a child? Was it really any of his goddamned business to determine when something so significant was to happen?
The corner of my mouth pulled into a vicious sneer. There again, none of this should have come as a surprise to me. That old man always found a way to manipulate the situation to his own advantage.
The king was gluttonous for control. And once more, I felt like nothing more than a puppet on his strings. This was to be expected from him. He was the whole reason why this marriage had been orchestrated
all along…
I let out a long sigh, and I rubbed a hand over my tired eyes. The thing was, I wasn’t against the idea of having a baby with Evelyn. In the beginning, the mere idea was out of the question. But over time, our marriage…Somehow, it became real.
That being said, I felt overwhelmingly guilty and abashed for the way our first encounter took place. For everything that Evelyn had done to become a real part of this pack, she deserved a real wedding.
