EVEYLN"Are you sure you want me to sign the papers?" she asked, one eyebrow arched as she looked at John.John scoffed, not even sparing her a glance. He leaned back in his seat, eyes distant, like her words weren’t worth his breath."If I sign them, your life will be chaos. Are you ready for that?"Von slammed his palms on the table, making the glasses rattle. "Are you seriously threatening the Alpha?" he growled. "It's good you're finally showing your true colors..."She didn’t flinch. Her eyes flicked to him with a cold edge. "John knows exactly what I mean. And you should probably keep your mouth shut."My jaw dropped. She just disrespected an elder like it was nothing. That wasn’t bold, it was reckless.A wave of gasps rolled through the hall. Von looked ready to explode, but the elder beside him laid a firm hand on his shoulder and pushed him gently back into his seat."So John, what do you think?" she asked, her gaze fixed on him.What’s her angle now? Does she have something
DIANE "I'm having second thoughts here. Are you sure she's going to get it?" I asked, my voice laced with doubt.I took a slow sip of my wine, the glass cool in my hand as I watched him glance at his watch."At least she still has time to change her mind," he muttered.I raised an eyebrow, then gave him a look. "No way you just said that," I said, rolling my eyes."It would ruin her," Benjamin said. "Everyone would be talking. She’d have to hide her face, unless she wants to be stoned in the streets."He added the last part with a sarcastic chuckle, but I didn’t laugh. I let out a quiet sigh, the weight in my chest still heavy. It didn’t feel like enough."I want more than that," I said, my tone tightening. "I want her to stay the hell away from John. And I want John to understand, he has no other choice but to be with me."Benjamin didn’t respond right away. Instead, he pulled out a file from one of the messy stacks on the table and placed it in front of me. Curious, I looked at it.
JOHN“I… I don’t know what you’re talking about.”“Sure,” he scoffed. “Go ahead and deny it. Then I’ll show Evelyn the proof, the paper you signed, promising you’d never cause trouble and that you’d always be on our side.”My hand hit the table hard. The loud crack surprised me. My heart raced, pounding like an alarm. Cold sweat broke out on my skin, even though it wasn’t cold.He was right. Damn, he was right.But that was back then. Before I really knew who Evelyn was. When I first heard a woman would lead the DeepBlue project, I laughed at the idea. I had no idea it was her until the Nightshade Pack’s 300th anniversary celebration. That’s when everything changed. Damn... why is it that just when things start going smoothly, something comes along to crush it?"So don’t even think about taking Diane off the throne," Lucas warned, voice cold. "With that evidence, I could ruin you for life. You’re not even worthy of my daughter. It was all just transactional and you know that."I clen
JOHN"I don't know if I can still keep you as my driver," I said quietly, eyes fixed on Solomon, whose head hung low in shame.I shifted my gaze to the other side. "And I don't know if I can keep you as my..."I let out a long sigh looking at Andrew."...Beta.""I'll accept whatever punishment you give me," Andrew said firmly.I rolled my eyes. "You’ll be demoted to dungeon guard duty. I’ll start looking for a replacement. I was considering Solomon for Beta, but..."I shook my head, dismissing the thought. Not anymore.Turning away, I called out to one of my warriors coming inside the palace. "How's it going there?"Ezra looked up and gave a small smile. "Smoothly. I found out Carlo is staying at the Narco Pack. But don’t worry, I didn’t tell Giovanni I was watching Carlo."I stopped in my tracks, disbelief creeping into my voice. "What? What’s he doing there?"Ezra’s brow furrowed. "Not sure yet, but someone from that pack might be helping him."Ezra continued. "I overheard Alpha Rom
EVEYLN"Nothing's here," I said, scanning the computer."Then leave. Now,"I let out a slow sigh and turned to walk away. Just as I reached the door, it creaked open, and Elena stepped in. My heart dropped like a stone.Her eyes raked over me from head to toe. "And what exactly are you doing here?" she asked.I rolled my eyes and tried to step past her, but she blocked my way."You came to seduce him, didn’t you?" she accused, her tone dripping with disdain.My eyes narrowed. "Is that really all your mind can come up with?"She scoffed. "Well, it’s what you’ve always done, isn’t it?"Before I could reply, footsteps echoed down the hallway. A soft voice called out, “Let’s go, he’s not in the parlour either.”An older woman entered the room. One glance told me she was their mother as I recognized her from the video. I lowered my head in a respectful bow.To my surprise, she offered me a gentle smile. "Are you the Evelyn?" she asked gently.I lifted my head and glanced at Elena, wonderi
EVEYLN“It's surprising to see you here,” Giovanni asked, his voice low and amused.I froze in the doorway, watching Tonya pull his dick out of her mouth. She smirked and looked straight at me, then rolled her eyes like I was the one interrupting.“Sorry for the disturbance…” I muttered about to leave...“No, she was just leaving,” Giovanni said sharply, not even glancing at her.Tonya let out a small laugh as she grabbed her bra. She put it on slowly as she pecked him on his cheek and then brushed past me, purposely bumping my shoulder. I didn’t react, I just scoffed and kept my eyes on him.I walked over and sat in the chair across from his desk. The scent of expensive cologne hung in the air, and the blinds made stripes of light on the polished wood.“Hey, be careful, okay?” John’s voice echoed in my head as he mind linked me.I didn’t respond. I just kept looking at Giovanni, who was now smiling at me like nothing had happened. “Have you finally come to your senses?” Giovanni ask
