“I will warn you for the last time, Evelyn. Watch your words,” James said in a menacing
“You do know that Stephanie is alive, right? Your mom called Andrew and let him know. They are
preparing a large welcome home slash engagement party for her and you. You do not have to settle for
second-best anymore.”
James let go of me and took several steps towards Evelyn. He looked like he was ready to attack her. However, Brady stepped in between them. Evelyn clung to Brady and started to cry once again.
James ordered Brady to move, but Brady refused.
“She is pregnant, James.”
“I am not going to hurt her, Brady. But I am also not willing to let her sit here and disrespect Lily without
consequences.
“Please calm down, James,” Brady pleaded.
Suddenly, Charlotte came up and slapped Brady across the face. Hard. The slap caught Brady off guard,
and he looked at Charlotte with hurt in his eyes.
“What was that for?” he asked her.
“Have you forgotten what Evelyn did to you? What she tried to do to Lily? She is not your mate anymore
and yet you are coddling her.”
“She is pregnant, Charlotte.”
“That did not stop you from fighting with her before. Why are you suddenly so worried about her feelings now?!?!?”
Brady looked completely stunned. He did not say anything.
“Why, Brady? Tell me? Hell, why even bother bringing me here if you were going to act like this towards your ex? If you still love her?”
“I DO NOT LOVE EVELYN ANYMORE!” Brady exclaimed.
He ran his hands through his hair.
“I did for a long time, okay, I admit that. Or at least I loved the idea of her. Even up until a few weeks ago I still loved her. BUT I DO NOT LOVE HER ANYMORE, CHARLOTTE! I don’t know when I stopped but I did.”
Charlotte continued to look at Brady accusingly. “Then why are you coddling her right now? Why are your standing between her and James? You know what she did!!!!”
“BECAUSE SHE IS STILL THE MOTHER OF MY SON! And no matter how evil she might be, I KNOW THAT SHE GENUINELY LOVES HIM! AND SHE IS PREGNANT! I AM NOT GOING TO PUNISH THE PUP FOR THE
MOTHER’S MISTAKES!!!!”
Evelyn looked at both of them as though she had been slapped. “Did you just call me evil? Say that I made
mistakes?”
Brady ignored her question, his eyes and attention focused completely on Charlotte. Charlotte stared right back at him, with an unreasonable expression on her face. I wondered whether she was having one.
of her doubt-snaps.
“Who are you?” Evelyn sneered at Charlotte. “Are you the replacement wh ore? Brady works faster than I
thought.’
“ENOUGH,” Dr. Hyder cut in. “Sit down, everyone.”
Evelyn went to sit next to Brady, but Charlotte sat down in the chair next to Brady before Evelyn could.
Evelyn ordered Charlotte to move, but Charlotte rolled her eyes and Dr. Hyder intervened, telling Evelyn
she needed to sit in the chair directly across from him.
“Has Evelyn always been like this?” I asked James in the link.
“You mean like a b&&ch with two personalities?”
“Yes.”
“With Andrew living in Canada, and me… well… you know the past six years, I have not had many opportunities to interact with her. But I have never liked her. I always got a weird vibe from her. Never saw her act like this though.”
“Please do not kill her,” I asked him.
“My ability to honor that request is solely dependent on Evelyn. That and whether Charlotte beats me to the punch.”
“Do you think Charlotte’s wolf is waking up? It would be really fast after a rejection.”
“I don’t know. Something is going on though. Charlotte’s wolf is either awake or waking up. She is acting awfully possessive over a one-night stand, and humans do not growl like that.”
