Rejected And Betrayed: Chasing My Luna Back. 140. Let it go.
EVEYLN The first thing I did that morning was rush to the hospital to see her. My chest tightened as I pushed open the door to her room, empty. The bed was made and she was gone.Panic bubbled in my throat, but then I saw it, a small folded note left on the table beside the bed. My fingers trembled as I picked it up."Thank you for risking your life to save me, Ms. I’ll escape and break everything. Please don’t come looking for me."She didn’t even sign her name. No clue, no hint of who she really was.Clearly, she didn’t want me to find her.Maybe John was right. Maybe I should just let it go. Honestly, I never would’ve imagined that a man as respected as Jude could raise someone like Darwin—a twisted, perverted and reckless son who preyed on young girls.But then again, she said her own parents sold her off to him. Maybe they knew exactly what kind of monster Darwin was. Maybe that’s why they handed her over without a second thought.What gets under my skin the most is knowing he

EVEYLN POV"I mean dead, sorry," he corrected quickly, bowing his head before grabbing his broom and sweeping the floor like he was desperate to disappear.At least now I had something, a clue.He was killed.Maybe I should just accept that. But still… why? Was it guilt? Had he taken his own life, haunted by what he’d done?I turned to John. “One of the workers said he was killed.”“By the person who sent him,” John said casually, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.My face twisted in confusion.What was he even talking about?“What are you saying, John? Where did you even get that from?” I asked, shaking my head in disbelief.John just gave a small smile as he pulled open the car door for me. I slid in, and he closed it gently behind me.A moment later, the engine roared to life, and we sped off.“Are you trying to say Elvis was paid to do that?” I pressed.“To frame me,” John said simply.I let out a shaky breath and slammed my back against the seat.It just kept gettin

EVEYLN John and I stood outside, the afternoon sun beating down on us. We had finished what we came for, and Amos had followed us out to say goodbye."It must have been traumatizing for you," I said gently, watching the way his shoulders sagged and his eyes seemed to hold too much pain.I hesitated, then asked, "By the way, how's your wife? Has she given birth yet?"He let out a shaky sigh, staring at the ground."She died," he said, voice barely above a whisper.My heart stumbled in my chest. "What?"He swallowed hard. "She... she died in the delivery room. The baby too."John and I exchanged a stunned look. Fuck."When was that?" I asked softly."Just last week, ma'am," he replied, his voice thin and tired.I placed a hand on his back, trying to offer some comfort. "You shouldn't overthink it, okay? Don't worry... I'll do my best."He shook his head slowly. "I don't want anything from you," he said. "All I want is for them to be punished. Keen's leg is already paralyzed, he can't w

EVELYNMy face turned pale the moment he asked John that question. I didn’t know why, but deep down, I felt he was talking about the girl we had rescued from the nightclub.I glanced around. The people in the restaurant were staring at us, frozen in fear. Some had already grabbed their things and bolted for the door, desperate to get away."You thought you were playing heroes, huh?" the man sneered. "But you had no idea where it would lead you."Suddenly, my phone buzzed in my pocket. I fumbled to pull it out, my hands shaky.It was a message from Giovanni: "Where are you? Come and meet me at the Pack now!" The man turned his eyes on me, especially after John stayed silent, offering only a smug smirk in return."This chick your girl?""Don't even think about laying a hand on her," John warned.The man only laughed, loud and mocking."Whoa, I'm so scared. If I fucked her right in front of you, you wouldn’t do a damn thing," he said, stepping closer.He grabbed a fistful of my hair, ya

EVEYLN"What do you mean, strip me of my rights?""Of course, Evelyn," he murmured, cutting me off before I could say more. He patted the empty spot beside him on the couch so that I will sit. Instead, I flopped down on the opposite side of the cushions as I sighed."You’re no longer a member of this Pack," he muttered. "I respect your choice. But if you want to keep your duties, you'll have to convince John to agree to merge the Packs into one."I let out a harsh scoff, leaning back with my arms crossed. "And why exactly do you think that's a good idea?""But you know it's impossible, right?" he said, leaning forward slightly. "If the elders of Nightshade Pack find out, they'll remove you themselves."As much as I hated to admit it, he was right. Deep down, I didn’t want to lose my high rank in the Pack. I could still remember how proud I was the day I earned it, the way my heart had swelled when I stood beside him during meetings, learning how everything worked."What do you want to

GIOVANNI.I stared at the photo in my hand, as I felt as if my breath was clogged inside my chest. I thought that stupid bitch had burned all the pictures. How the hell was this still here?"Where's the main picture?"Evelyn didn't answer. She just drew in a shaky breath and gently took the phone from my hand. I forced myself to stay still, my fingers itching to smash the damn thing against the floor. Thank the goddess I held back."I told you," I said. "She's dead. Isn't that enough?""Come on, Giovanni," she said, frustration flickering in her eyes. "Have I ever hidden anything from you? This isn't just about you, it’s about the Pack. You need a Luna."She hesitated as I stepped closer, my heart pounding in my ears. I was done holding this back."And what if I want you as my Luna?" I said, finally letting the words spill out. "What if I don't want anyone else?"I looked at her, willing for her to see it, to see how long I'd been holding this in, while she remained blind to how much

EVEYLN"Diane was here," Bea said, glancing at me as I raised my eyebrows."What?" I asked quickly, my heart skipping. "Did she hurt anyone? Is everyone okay?"Bea shook her head, her mouth twisting into a smirk. "No, nothing like that. She just showed up to throw around some stupid warning, telling me you should back off whatever you're planning. But don’t worry," she added, her voice firm, "I told her if she’s got something to say, she better say it to your face, not ours."A warm rush of gratitude filled me. I couldn't help but smile at Bea, wanting to pull her into a hug right then."She was fuming," Bea said with a chuckle, rolling her eyes. I chuckled. "You would've slapped the hell out of her." Once I finished my meal at the dining table, Harry pushed back his chair with a scrape. Without a word, he gathered both our plates and headed toward the kitchen."What? Hey, come back here!" I called after him."No, Mummy, let me do it," he said, flashing a proud grin full of tiny tee

DIANE"Hey, open the gate!" I shouted, pounding on the metal frame. My fist hit harder with each knock, my anger burned inside of me. Still, no response. Was she really just going to ignore me? Maybe I should just climb the fence..."Hey! If you're going to cause a scene, do it at your own house," My heart jolted. I spun around and there she was, arms crossed, eyes cold. Before I could think, my feet moved on their own. I stormed up to her and slapped her across the face.She barely flinched. Tossing her hair back like I hadn’t just hit her, she stared me down."Wow," I scoffed. "So you really want your half-dead son to rot in that hospital, huh?" "You see," I said, watching her fists clench at the mention of her son. "I don't give a damn what the card says. I was sent here to get it back. I don’t care if you have to dig through the dirt with your bare hands—just find it, hand it over, and go crawl back to your pathetic little life."God, this Mimi or whatever her fuckass name is, s

EVELYN I stayed hidden in at the side of the female restroom, holding my breath as he walked away. His eyes scanned the hallway left, then right but he never saw me. My heart pounded as I replayed the conversation I’d overheard. So that’s why he’s been so restless. The weight of the secret pressed down on me. It wasn’t just his burden, it was Mimi’s life at stake as I clenched my fists. Should I confront him? Or stay quiet?I had wanted to stay at the hospital until Mimi woke up, but John placed a hand on my shoulder.“She’ll be fine,” he said, his voice calm. “We’ll all come back when she wakes up. Harn will stay with her in the meantime.”The car ride back to the Pack was quiet. No one spoke a word until we arrived. As we stepped out, Andrew rushed toward us, his face pale.“B-Boss,” he stammered, breathless. “Giovanni is here to see you.”My eyes widened as I turned to John. He raised his eyebrows, calm as ever, while I shifted my gaze to Andrew.“Where is he?” I asked.Andrew til
Rejected And Betrayed: Chasing My Luna Back. 159. How could she have a son?
EVEYLNI stood stiffly, arms crossed tight over my chest, unable to bring myself to sit beside John on the bench. My eyes stayed fixed on the clinic door, silently begging it to open.Solomon paced nearby, his shoes tapping nervously against the floor. His chest rose and fell in shallow breaths, like he was holding something back. I’d never seen his face so tense, his brows knotted with a worry that seemed deeper than mine like he knew her in a way I didn’t.The door finally creaked open."She survived it," Harn said, stepping out with a grin stretching across his face."Just thank the goddess she was brought in early," Harn said. "It looks like she was rushed here right after she slit her wrist."I let out a long, shaky sigh. The weight of everything finally hit me.Solomon stepped forward, facing Harn with urgency in his eyes. "Please... can we see her?" he asked, voice barely above a whisper.I glanced at John. He only smirked, shook his head slightly, then got to his feet without

JOHN"Can I ask you something, Andrew?" I said, my voice low.He sat frozen, head bowed, shoulders trembling like he'd been caught in a storm. Drops of sweat trickled down his forehead."Is it true you've been sleeping with Diane?"His head snapped up. His eyes widened, lips parted, like the truth had sucker-punched him. Guilt danced in his expression as he hadn’t expected me to know, not about this. Not something that happened right under my roof.I'd overheard them last night, Diane hissing accusations at him, angry that he'd pulled away after she gave herself to him multiple times. The words were sharp, too sharp to ignore. My chest has felt tight since then. I couldn’t believe it. Andrew, my beta, my closest ally doing that to me?I exhaled slowly, placing my hands on the table to calm myself down.""I'm... sorry... I'm sorry, Alpha. Please, forgive me..." he choked out, collapsing to his knees.His hands trembled as they clutched the floor, his voice cracking under the weight of

EVEYLN“So, you’re telling me that…” Simone’s voice trailed off as we sat down in the lobby of the company.“Yes,” I said, settling into the chair beside him. “And don’t worry, I’m still going to keep working here.”Simone scoffed lightly, though there was a little of sadness in his eyes. “Of course you will. You think I’d just let you walk away from this place?”I gave him a faint smile. “As long as it’s for your kids and Giovanni doesn’t see a problem with it, then I’ll approve,” he added.I let out a quiet sigh. “I’ve noticed something, Simone.”He glanced over, curious. “What?”“Why don’t you come visit me at Silvermoon Pack?”He lifted his coffee cup, eyes avoiding mine. “Personal reasons,” he muttered before taking a sip.“I knew it,” I said, crossing my arms. “There’s no way you’d stay away this long unless something was wrong. The kids miss you, in case you didn’t realize.”Simone let out a soft chuckle. “I’m really glad Harry’s better. That little guy went through more than m

EVEYLNI was in the kitchen, making sandwiches, just enough for John, Vera, and me. Once I finished, I set them out on the table and took a seat with mine.Halfway through my sandwich, John walked in and sat across from me. I put my spoon down and looked at him.“Hey,” I said, nodding toward the phone on the counter. “Call Bea and tell Harry you’re busy.”John frowned and shook his head. “I don’t lie like you do,” he said flatly.I sneered but didn’t bother replying. He picked up his sandwich and took a bite, keeping his eyes on me.“You made these, didn’t you?” he asked, chewing.I rolled my eyes. “Whatever.”I was nearly done with mine, so I grabbed a glass of warm milk and drank it in one go. The glass hit the table with a loud thud. "“I didn’t eat last night because of you,” I said, crossing my arms.“And that’s my fault?” John pointed at himself, eyes wide.I nodded. “I was expecting you to bring the food to my room. What? Were you scared of your wife?”He let out a dry laugh. “

EVELYN What kind of meeting had that been? And why was everyone so fixated on John?I was just about to slide into the back seat when Solomon opened the door for me. Before I could get in, Darwin stepped forward, his hand catching the edge of the door.Solomon tensed, ready to shove him back, but I gave a quick shake of my head to stop him.Darwin flashed a smug grin.“What do you want?” I asked, crossing my arms and staring him down.He clutched his chest dramatically, like he was in pain. “That girl, ma’am. You’ve no idea how much it hurts not seeing her for nearly five days now.”My fingers twitched with the urge to slap him, but I settled for pressing a finger against his chest hard like that would change anything not knowing it would make him even more creepy.“It’s her life,” I said coldly. “And this is where you back off.”His smirk didn’t fade. “Or what?”I let out a sharp scoff. “She’s a child, Darwin. Don’t you have any shame?”Even as I spoke, I couldn’t figure out why I w

Giovanni’s voice rang out as he stood. Romain slowly turned his head toward him, confusion spread across his face.He stared at Giovanni like he couldn’t believe what he was hearing because why would Giovanni, of all people, be siding with John? After all, he had been the one to approach Romain with the very idea.Giovanni simply offered him a small smile.“Do you have a reason for your objection?” Romain asked, voice laced with suspicion.Giovanni nodded once, composed.John stared at him from across the room, brow furrowed. There was no trust in his expression, only confusion. The two of them were enemies. Why defend him now?“I understand the concern,” Giovanni began smoothly, addressing the council. “No one here wants to see the name of the New York City Council dragged through the mud. But removing an Alpha and stripping him of his voice and position, based on nothing but rumors? That’s not justice. That’s recklessness.”He let the words settle before continuing.“If we accuse hi

Gasps and murmurs rippled through the room at Alpha Romain’s announcement. No one had expected such a thing would be the first that he would say.Evelyn turned to John, eyes wide. He met her gaze.Of course, the first name that came to his mind was Giovanni.John had recently learned they’d been spending time together, Giovanni and Romain. It didn’t take much to guess what might have happened behind closed doors. Giovanni had influence, and Romain? Romain had a reputation for corruption. Bribe him, flatter him, and the man would hand over the moon if asked.“John…” Evelyn said softly, as her voice laced with concern.He sighed, and smiled at her like he was okay with it.“Not only because of the madness he just displayed tonight,” Alpha Romain continued, his tone dripping with disdain, “but there are rumors circulating which claim that he’s corrupt. That his Pack has grown weak.”A quiet stir passed through the hall, Evelyn scoffed under her breath, unable to hold it back.Coming fro

Evelyn took a deep breath and sank into the seat reserved for both her and John, right at the front, in the curved center of the U-shaped arrangement. It was a place meant for attention, and she felt every pair of eyes burning into her skin.“Wow, some couples can really be rude,” Darwin’s voice rang out again. “I was just greeting you both. What’s my offense now?”Neither John nor Evelyn gave him the satisfaction of a reply. She kept her gaze straight ahead, her jaw was clenched trying to ignore the weight of the stares she felt pressing on her from all directions.What she didn’t know was just how many of them, mostly men, were looking at her, whispering behind cupped hands and cocky grins.Until one voice cut through, loud and clear.“Is this the bitch from the nightclub?”“She’s the one? Damn... she’s gorgeous.”“She’s still a bitch,” another voice sneered. “If John hadn’t stepped in, we could’ve shared her that night.”Evelyn’s fists clenched at her sides. Her face turned toward
