EVELYN'S POV: The loud applause filled the grand hall as I finished my speech. I was filled with excitement and a bit of nervousness. I didn’t expect Simone to put me in the spotlight like this, else I would have at least prepared a speech. Winnie flashed me a thumbs up and a wink from the crowd, her eyes shining with pride, and I felt thankful for her support. As I made my way back to my seat, I saw Simone smiling warmly at me, and couldn’t help but return it with a small nod. He knew how uncomfortable I was with such public attention, but he insisted I be the one to unveil the DeepBlue project. I could only hope I didn’t disappoint him. Winnie and I found a quiet corner in the bar area, away from the bustling crowd. She handed me a glass of sparkling wine and we clinked them in a toast. “Cheers,” we said in unison, chuckling heartily. Winnie’s shimmering gown caught the light, and her hair was neatly pulled back in a high ponytail, highlighting her features. “I did

EVELYN POV:Beside Harry, Bea piqued with curiosity. "A solution? There's a solution to it? If that's the case then for your child's health you need to..." I immediately cut her off, snapping, "To what?" as I fixed Bea with an angry glare. She was surprised at the look because she obviously had never seen me look at someone like that. I knew exactly who Harry was talking about - that devil, Alpha John. He was the only one with that cursed condition of shifting at a young age, and he had passed it down to my son. I was so mad that he met him. I was so mad that he touched his hand. I was so mad that he even still existed.The very thought of my son being anywhere near Alpha John, the man who had once been my mate but treated me worse than a slave, made me shiver with anger.My hands flew up to my hair, fingers threading through the silky strands as I swiftly gathered it will into a tight ponytail, the ribbon securing it firmly. The familiar motion helped ground me, but my body still t

EVELYN POVI placed my hands on my chest, feeling a little pain there as I began coughing. My hands were shaking as I opened the computer and tried to connect it to the projector, but I couldn't."Is everything okay, Ms.?" one of the shareholders beside me asked. I gave a faint smile and nodded my head.My eyes drifted to John, who was still staring at me. I felt like throwing up as I could understand why I was feeling this way.But I had to focus, get things done quickly, and leave. I connected my computer to the projector and began presenting the diagram of the oil construction building, both its interior and exterior, through a slideshow."Looking at the layout, I have to say the architect did a great job with each offices and rooms. But what about the environmental impact? How will you ensure it’s safe for the environment?"One of the investors, and if I looked closely, it was Alpha Jude who asked me. I took a deep breath before answering."With the building's layout in every slid

EVELYN POV That's the most insane thing I've heard all day. His woman? I scoffed driving away and glancing back briefly. I don’t even want to know what he’s doing. That bastard needs to be taught a lesson before he tries calling me more stupid names.What’s my fate, Moon Goddess? Why is it that I can’t even have a peaceful comeback? He should have suffered more, it would have been so satisfying to watch him as he did. Pee! Pee! Pee!I slammed my hand on the steering wheel, hoping the gate guards would hear me. But no one came out. Just then, my phone started vibrating inside my black Birkin bag. I opened it, pulled out my phone, and checked the screen. The name that appeared was Winnie."How’s your day—" Before I could finish, she cut me off abruptly. "Come to the Pack clinic immediately! Why haven’t you been answering your calls?" she yelled, her voice filled with concern. "What’s going on?" I asked, alarmed, my curiosity growing as I quickly turned the steering wheel an

EVELYNNo, this doesn't make any sense!. There has to be a way for this to stop. Moon Goddess, please, I beg of you. What kind of cruel solution is this? Just thinking about it only makes me angrier."Please, he can't meet his father after everything he did to the mother of his children. How can we be sure the ritual will succeed? If he hates me, he will likely hate his children too, especially since his Luna already has a child for him, if I'm not mistaken."I spoke in a soft, sorrowful voice, and as I did, Harry's eyes slowly began to open. The grip on my hand loosened, and he used the back of his hand to rub his eyes. I took a sigh of relief with a small smile on my face."The temporary solution is that he has to stop school for a while and continue with the modern medication. That's the only way he can survive this illness."The pack witch bowed her head, turned, and began to leave. He will stop school for now, right? That’s not the problem, but there are no answers as to why he h

EVELYN POV"Nice to meet you again, Evelyn," he said, extending his hand for a handshake. I hesitated for a moment before shaking it, watching as he stood up from his chair."We’ll have this conversation later, Mr. Andrew," Simone said, her tone firm. He nodded and walked out of the office."I'm sure you're familiar with him, Evelyn. That's Alpha John's Beta, Andrew.""What's he doing here?" I blurted out, struggling to keep my anger in check."I invited him over after we scheduled the appointment. Since they're now one of our core business partners and we'll be working together, I’ll need to start meeting with them regularly." He stood up, slipping his glasses off and holding them loosely in one hand. His eyes locked on mine as he placed both hands firmly on my shoulders. "Evelyn, remember you're not the kind of person who lives in fear anymore. You can overcome any obstacle in your way. Have you forgotten everything I’ve taught you?" He searched my eyes, his gaze steady and pro

EVELYN POV“Are you serious right now? This is why you came back?” I raised an eyebrow, my voice dripping with disbelief as he let out a heavy sigh.“You’re the only Luna most of us recognize. Some of our pack members really miss you…” he started, his tone earnest.Before he could finish, laughter bubbled up from me. I didn’t know why it struck me as so funny, but it did. I could see right through him, he was sent by Alpha John. The desperation in his voice was obvious, as if he was trying hard to win favor with the Alpha.“Stop wasting your time. I don’t believe you, and even if it’s true, I don’t care. Just leave, before the guards throw you out!” I warned, my voice sharp as I turned away from him. He remained seated, ignoring my command.I picked up my phone, scrolling through the company’s website, when the waiter approached, placing a meal on the table.“Congratulations, ma’am! You’re such a role model,” he said in a low voice, his curly hair bouncing as he smiled. I returned his

Her soft hands pounced on my cheeks. I furrowed my eyebrows, but the pain Vanished within a second. Without a word, she swept her hands over my chest, pushing me away from the car door. She opened it, started the engine, and drove off.The sleek BMW roared to life. As she drove off, the smoky exhaust and wind from the car swept over my face, leaving me rooted in place."Alpha," Beta Andrew said, his voice low as he approached from behind. "She’s not the same Evelyn we used to know. She’s changed completely. With the way speaks to me and everything."I clenched my jaw, staring after the trail of dust and smoke."Let’s go," I said, my tone cold and firm.Where’s the lie? She wasn’t the timid woman we used to know. She dared to talk back to me, her voice steady, sharp, and defiant. She didn’t just look me in the eyes, she held my gaze, challenging me without fear. And then… she slapped me. She actually slapped me.The old Evelyn would never have done that. She would’ve never raised her v

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

ANNUAL COUNCIL MEETING DAY"Are you okay? Diane is supposed to go, not me," Evelyn said as she stepped into her room, blocking the doorway just as John was about to follow. She shut the door behind her, leaving him outside.The meeting was only a few hours away, and she still couldn’t believe he’d asked her to come instead of Diane."I can't take her," John said from the hallway, his voice firm. "It’s you I want there."Evelyn hesitated, her hand lingering on the doorknob. "Are you sure your mum will be okay with that?" she asked.He gave a dry scoff in reply.She turned toward the wardrobe and pulled it open. A black gown with silver stones swayed gently on its hanger, catching the light. She stared at it, frozen for a moment. When she turned around, John was smiling through the narrow gap in the doorway.“Enough playing hard to get,” he said with a grin. “Come with me.”"John..." she started, her voice barely above a whisper.But he didn’t let her finish. “I’ll be back in an hour.”

EVEYLNHonestly, I didn’t expect Renai to say that. A few people in the crowd nodded slowly, their eyes narrowing with thought, while others glanced around, unsure which side to take.John wasn’t here, probably busy getting ready for the Annual Meeting.“Don’t worry,” Renai said, tapping my shoulder gently. “Everything’s under control. I’ll hand over the flash drive to the elders so they can make the final call.”A few hours later, I stood in the mansion’s hallway, the silence pressing in like a weight. I wiped at my cheeks, trying to calm my breath as I took a deep breathe. The sting in my chest wasn’t from the tears, it was from the truth. I couldn't believe that I'm leaving with the lady who almost killed my daughter, it just broke me thinking about it.“Evelyn…”Andrew’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts as he appeared at the end of the hallway. I quickly wiped my face and forced a smile.“It’s okay to cry,” he said, walking toward me. His voice was gentle. “Don’t hold it in. Wh
