Evelyn POV
As soon as we step out of the office, Xavier tries to wrap his arm around me, but I pull away. I feel like I did five years ago when everything fell apart. This is my punishment for abandoning Charles. I gave up everything for this man, and he is keeping things from me. "Evie, please" he says, but my steps don't falter as we make our way through the pack house to our new wing. I step inside and move to sit in a large chair in the corner, so he can't sit next to me.
I place my hand on my bump, needing to remind myself to try and breath if not for me than for my pup. I can't lose her. Losing Olivia breaks me more every day. Hell, Connor hasn't stopped seeing me as a mother, but our relationship has suffered because of my choices. I look up into the eyes of the man I have loved
