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

    JOHN “John, stop!” Evelyn’s voice cut through the storm in my head, grabbing my arm just before I landed a punch on Andrew.I’d heard everything.The pack witch... sick? I’d picked it up through the AirPods Evelyn and I were wearing.I could barely believe it. No signs that something was going on with the old lady. And Andrew knew. He’d known all along.No wonder he didn’t beg or fight when I demoted him to dungeon guard. The guilt must’ve weighed more than the shame. He’d done far worse than I ever imagined.Fury still burning under my skin, I turned and stormed into the guest room. My eyes locked on Diane as she made a call, completely unaware.I waited silent and patient for just the right moment.Then I stepped forward and snatched the phone from her hand, pressing it to my ear before she could react.“Long time no see, Benjamin Carlson,” I said. “Or should I call you... Beta Carlo?”Diane turned, and I watched the shock bloom across her face. Her mouth dropped open, her eyes wid

    DIANEI smiled, knowing that with Charles, what I wanted could actually be achieved.“It just... amuses me,” He said, folding my arms, “how a woman ended up with that project.”He raised an eyebrow, waiting.“I mean, she’s not just any woman. She’s pretty. Charming. Smart. All of it.”He nodded slowly, and I could tell, he agreed. Of course he did. What man wouldn’t? And honestly, I didn’t even know why I was listing her qualities like that. Maybe I had already accepted defeat... just like that.I reached into my bag to check the time but my phone wasn’t there. I frowned, digging deeper, then stood up and dipped my head politely.“I’ll be right back.”He gave a small nod. “You might not find me here when you return, but I’ll meet you at Nacro Pack.”“Alright.”I turned and headed toward the mansion, the sharp clicks of my heels echoing off the tiled floor. I checked the dining table first, then the living room. Nothing. Why did I even forget it?I was just about to step into the hall

    DIANE“Before you leave, won’t you have one last cup of tea with me?”The voice came from my left. I turned and saw him walking toward me, a smirk tugging at his lips. He slipped his hands into his pockets like he had all the time in the world.I let out a quiet sigh and dropped my luggage on the floor. I wasn’t in the mood for tea or anything, really. I just wanted to go, like they all seemed to want me to.But a few minutes later, we were sitting in the lounge, steaming cups between us. I could feel his eyes on me, watching too closely.“So, you’re just going to leave like that?” he asked, like I was making a selfish choice. Just like Mr. Charles, always assuming things are simple, like his son does.I looked down at my tea. “All the evidence points to me,” I said quietly. “It’s not like I have a choice.” “If Benjamin had taken that project, you wouldn’t be here stressing yourself,” he said, shaking his head like it was all so obvious.I scoffed, knowing exactly what he was implyin

  • Rejected And Betrayed: Chasing My Luna Back.   182. Very sensitive.

    EVEYLN"Why aren’t you saying anything, Alpha John?" one of the elders asked, narrowing his eyes. "You know this could spark a huge controversy if anyone from our pack sees this video or saw her at this place."John scoffed, then slowly raised the phone in his hand, studying the screen with a blank expression. My heart sank. The weight of the moment pressed down on me like a storm cloud. Just like that, my day was ruined—shattered beyond repair."Have you all even taken a moment to watch this properly?" John asked, his voice cold. "I’m honestly disappointed in every single one of you.""This is a very sensitive topic," another elder muttered. "And... It looks recent.""Of course it’s recent," Diane chimed in, arms folded smugly. "She was there just last month. I was trying to cover for her, actually."Wow. Listen to her,playing the hero now, like she hadn’t just thrown me under a bus in front of everyone.But something wasn’t adding up. How did she get that video?I was sure there wer

  • Rejected And Betrayed: Chasing My Luna Back.   181. Judging her.

    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.
