“Pick up your call!” I shouted, stabbing Giovanni’s number on the screen again. Nothing. The call wouldn’t go through.

“Are you seriously ignoring me? Pick up your damn phone!” I snapped, my voice rising with each word.

With a growl, I hurled the phone to the floor. It clattered against the tiles and slid under the table.

“Ahhhhhh!” I screamed, dragging both hands through my hair, tugging at the roots. My chest rose and fell in sharp bursts.

This couldn’t be real. I had planned everything, every detail perfect, every step designed to fall in my favor. And now John of all people was ruining it?

I grabbed my car keys and stormed out of the house, slipping into the driver’s seat and speeding off.

How the hell did they get the footage? Was it that snake, Andrew? But I deleted it, wiped my face clean from it. So how could they possibly have it?

When I reached the Nightshade Pack, I parked and stepped out of the car. Eyes turned toward me. Some people stared like I was a walking scand

  • Rejected And Betrayed: Chasing My Luna Back.   163. Guilty as hell.

    EVEYLNI didn’t understand what John was trying to do until he turned to Diane.“What nonsense,” Diane snapped.“Let me make this clear,” John said. “If you ever call a meeting like this again without telling me, I won’t overlook it next time.”He rose to his feet. Diane was shaking, her fists clenched, her chest rising and falling quickly. As John stepped forward, she suddenly spoke again.“I hope you all see the kind of man he is,” she said, voice trembling. “This is just a part of what I’ve been living through. And I’m still here. Still surviving.”She paused, wiping at her face. “We haven’t even talked about how… how he lets his mistress lay hands on me. Just because I can’t bear children.” Her voice broke. “Who knows what she did to me to make me this way?”She sank into her chair, crying softly. Around the table, the elders looked at her with pity. One sighed. Another shook his head. All six sat quietly, swayed by the sadness in her face. “Alpha John, we, the elders have come t

  • Rejected And Betrayed: Chasing My Luna Back.   162. The ring.

    EVEYLNThe next morning, I walked into the Silvermoon Pack’s meeting room, my heart thudding as I recalled the mysterious message last night about this meeting going to be held and I must participate in it. A group of elders sat before me, their faces drawn tight with anger. Their eyes followed my every move as I took the seat opposite them. John trailed in behind me and to my surprise, he sat beside me instead of taking his rightful place at the head of the table.“John…” I whispered, keeping my voice low.I knew he heard me, his slight pause gave it away but he didn’t look at me, didn’t move. I caught the flicker of shock in the elders’ eyes as they stared at him, clearly noticing the break in protocol. "I'm glad you're all here, listening to my complaints," Diane said as she settled into the chair beside where John should have been sitting, the Alpha's seat.An elder cleared his throat. "Alpha John, we all know that Alphas are entitled to more than one Luna. But Diane has shown t

    JOHN"Where are we going?" Solomon asked, his voice edged with curiosity as I paused by the car door and let out a slow sigh.I pulled open the back door and slid in without a word. A second later, he got into the driver’s seat, the engine rumbling to life as we pulled away from the curb."Turn left," I said quietly.Solomon shot me a glance in the rearview mirror, one brow raised, but he followed the direction without question. When I didn’t say anything else, he eased the car to a stop, waiting.He looked back again. "The hospital?" he asked.I didn’t answer. Instead, I pushed the door open and stepped out. I started walking, glancing over my shoulder to make sure Solomon was behind me. He was, but the confusion still clouded his face."Boss, has Diane recovered?" he asked hesitantly."Stop asking questions," I muttered.We reached Diane's room, and I turned to face him. His head was bowed, like he already knew what was coming."What's going on?" I asked, though my eyes said more t

  • Rejected And Betrayed: Chasing My Luna Back.   160. Suspicious.

    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

  • Rejected And Betrayed: Chasing My Luna Back.   158. Wasn't a coincidence?

    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. “
