Chapter 108

Evelyn's POV The study's waiting area looked exactly like I remembered it. It was spacious and nicely decorated with black leather couches. My light blue throw pillows were still on the sofa, a painful reminder of my old life here. The coffee table was covered with pastries and fruit, all arranged perfectly. "The butler remembered what you like," Calvin said, pushing the tray toward me. "Try some." The Bloodbane Pack's pastry chef was famous, and I hadn't eaten anything this good since I left this house. Still, I sat down and purposely ignored the food. "Get to the point, Calvin." He sat in the armchair across from me. "Clara is pregnant." My head shot up. "And you want me to leave her alone because of that?" Calvin started to speak, but I cut him off before he could finish. "Are you protecting her because the baby is innocent, or because it's yours?" I asked, each word sharp and cutting. The tension grew thick between us. Calvin closed his eyes and took a deep breath before answering.
