EVEYLN "Do you think there’s any chance he knows it was me?"I asked.John glanced at me, just as unsure. "He didn’t touch you, did he?"I hesitated."Let’s just get out of here," I said quickly, brushing past his question. "I’m alive, that’s what matters. You should be smiling, not scowling."He didn’t smile.I rolled my eyes as we continued down the quiet path so the guards won't see us, putting distance between us and the palace. We’d parked far away to avoid suspicion.Once inside the car, we didn’t say a word. We just drove.A few minutes later, we were in John’s office. The computer hummed to life as we waited for it to boot up. He sat across from me, eyes flicking up.His expression turned very serious."When I ask if you’re okay," he bellowed. "I expect the truth."I followed his gaze, his eyes locked on the faint red marks on my neck.I shifted in my seat. "Relax, it was just Tonya."He didn’t believe me. But before he could push, I looked at the screen."Let’s just see what
Rejected And Betrayed: Chasing My Luna Back. 187. Run.
EVELYNI ducked behind the door just in time, heart pounding in my chest.Tonya stepped inside, not yet noticing me. She was dressed in nothing but a bra and panties, her bare feet soft against the carpet. I didn’t want to judge because hell, I’d probably dress the same way if I were at my boyfriend’s house. Still, seeing it made me feel... awkward. Like I’d stepped into a moment I wasn’t meant to witness.She turned around and our eyes met.I'm sure she just followed her instinct.Her mouth flew open, a scream ready to escape.I couldn’t let it.I moved fast, closing the distance between us in a flash. My hand shot out and struck the side of her neck really hard. Her body went limp almost instantly, her scream dying in her throat.I caught her before she hit the floor and carefully laid her on the bed.No time to feel guilty, I had to leave here.I glanced at Tonya lying unconscious on the bed. She looked so innocent with her doe eyes. But I knew better.She’d ignored Giovanni’s moth

EVEYLNI pressed my back against the cool stone wall of the palace, hidden in the shadows where the light couldn't reach. My fingers tugged at the edge of my mask, adjusting it for the third time as it still itches against my skin. Everything I wore was black, from my boots to the gloves on my hands, blending me into the night like a shadow with a heartbeat.A voice echoed softly in my mind, threaded with worry."Evelyn, please come back. Let me go instead. I have a bad feeling about this."I sighed and rolled my eyes, even though he couldn’t see me."That’s not a bad feeling, you’re just being dramatic," I replied, sending the thought back. "Relax. It’s not like I want to get caught."I whispered in a low voice, my eyes scanning the darkness around me. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I heard him sigh."Have you checked on the pack witch?" I asked."Yeah," he replied. "I took her to the doctor. Turns out she was being poisoned, slowly with wolfsbane."A sharp breath escaped my lips.

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
