Rejected And Betrayed: Chasing My Luna Back. 27. Whose child is this?
EVELYN POVDiane turned her attention to him, her face lighting up as she stretched her arms wide and pulled him into a warm hug. Then, without hesitation, she kissed him slow and deliberate, for what felt like five whole seconds.I couldn’t help but roll my eyes. The whole thing was giving me major secondhand embarrassment.When they finally pulled apart, he glanced my way. His smile faltered, confusion flickering across his face, before he turned back to Diane."Is this... the one you were talking about?" he asked, his tone cautious, almost unsure.Her hands were still wrapped tightly around his waist as she gave a small nod. But then, slowly, he started peeling her hands off, his eyebrows pulling together in confusion.“Yes, baby... she was causing trouble here,” she murmured, her voice trembling. “To the point that... she even slapped me.” Her head drooped, as if she was on the verge of tears. I shook my head and let out a long sigh, staring at her. What could I even say to her?.

EVELYN POV "Who's that kid in your arms?" John asked, his tone sharp, eyes narrowing as he scanned us with a squeezed forehead.I swallowed hard, rolling my eyes. "None of your business," I shot back at him. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got better things to do."Turning on my heel, I started walking away, but I could feel his gaze burning into my back. Harry, completely unaware of what was going on, piped up, his voice bright. "Handsome uncle, what's your name?"His innocent question seemed to trigger something in John. Before I could take more than a few steps, he closed the gap between us in a few fast strides. He grabbed my arm, his grip firm. "Don't walk away when I'm talking to you," he growled, his voice low and demanding.I spun around, jerking my arm free with a sharp tug. My eyes locked with his as I hissed, "Respect yourself John and the woman waiting for you inside the supermarket. Like you should be very much ashamed of your...""My name's John, little boy. What's you

ALPHA GIOVANNI“A spy?” Evelyn’s voice was a mix of surprise and curiosity.We stood on the rooftop, the moonlight casting a soft glow over the Pack members’ houses below. Their windows twinkled like stars. I glanced at Evelyn, the night wind gently lifting her hair. “Not just that,” I replied, my gaze drifting toward the dark woods. “There’s been trouble with some strange creatures tearing through our farmland. I wanted you to check it out, but I canceled the assignment. I was worried something bad might happen.”I met her bright blue eyes, and a rush of memories flooded back—rescuing her from the woods five years ago. She had captured my heart that day, and even now, standing beside her, I felt the same pull. Evelyn nodded, a sigh escaping her lips. "Then we have to do something about it. I could round up the other Pack workers to check which farms were damaged.""You're right, but we managed to catch one of them," I replied.Her eyes sparkled with excitement. "That's a good start

EVELYN POV “Mom, what’s this?” Harry's eyes widened as he pointed at the laptop screen in front of us. He was sitting on my lap, his tiny fingers almost touching the image of a tall oil construction building that I had just opened.“It’s an oil building, sweetheart,” I replied, smiling gently. “But even if I tried to explain, you might not get it just yet.”“What’s an oil building?” he asked, curiosity lighting up his face.I sighed softly, scrolling down to show him more of the image. “It’s a place where workers help make oil. It’s all about oil production,” I explained, hoping to make it clearer for him.Harry pouted, his eyes glued to the screen as I closed the image. Suddenly, my office door swung open.“Uncle!” he shouted, jumping off my lap, his face lighting up with a big smile. He dashed toward Simone, who spread his arms wide, grinning.“My boy!” Simone exclaimed, wrapping Harry in a warm hug and lifting him high into the air.“Uncle, your white hair is getting so much! The

EVELYN POVHarry's hands cupped his cheeks as John flashed a wide, almost smug grin. I hadn't seen John smile like that before, but honestly, I didn’t care. It only disgusted me that he dared to call himself a "dad." That title should be earned, not thrown around."Harry, come here. Let’s go." I said with a cheerful voice but he shook his head."No, let Mr. Handsome carry me today," Harry replied, his words laced with admiration as he glanced up at John.I clenched my fists, my stomach knotting. Harry kept going on about John's "perfect" features—his eyebrows, his smile, everything. I could feel my anger bubbling up as I rolled my eyes and started walking toward the workers."Ma'am?"One of the workers, his eyes lighting up when he saw me approach, immediately bowed his head."Welcome, ma'am. I’m Elvis, the senior worker here. I’m sure you came to look around with your husband."My smile faltered, and I pulled my hand back from his outstretched one as my gaze flicked to John, still st

EVELYN POV "No, I'm not!" John snapped with confidence shown in his voice and face.I shook my head, disgust crawling up my throat. My stomach twisted in knots as I felt like throwing a saliva on his face. "Leave my mummy alone! Don't hurt her! You're not my Mr. Handsome anymore!" Harry screamed, his little hands thrusting out the car window. His face tightened with determination as he leaned forward, as if trying to shove John away with nothing but his strength.John flinched, his confidence faltering. His grip on me loosened, and for a moment, I saw him crack—his toughness breaking down in the face of Harry’s fierce innocence.I didn’t waste a second. I shoved John off me with all the strength I had left, barely pausing before I scrambled into the car."Drive," I barked at the driver, and without a second thought, the car lurched forward, leaving John standing in the dust."Mummy, are you okay?" Harry’s voice was soft, trembling, his small eyes searching my face as if looking for

ALPHA JOHN "Thornfield School?" I asked Beta Andrew, my voice sharp with curiosity. He nodded, a solemn expression on his face. "That's where her two kids go." We stepped out of the car, the crisp air brushing against my skin as I tilted my head slightly to the left, trying to piece his words together. "What do you mean by two kids?" I asked, narrowing my eyes. "She has another one?" Andrew hesitated, his gaze flickering to the ground before meeting mine. "No, Alpha. They're twins—a boy and a girl. Harry and Harriet." My steps faltered, a jolt of realization crashing into me. My fists clenched tightly at my sides, my knuckles whitening. She gave birth to twins. Twins... for Giovanni? "How dare she?" I spat, my voice trembling with rage. "How dare she spread her legs for Giovanni? Why would she do that?" The words tasted bitter on my tongue, but the pain in my chest was worse. It clawed at me . The emptiness I’d been carrying didn’t just linger—it grew heavier, sharper

JOHN POV"I would have come to your place, but you honored my pack by visiting. It's a little concerning, but I’m grateful," I said, forcing a smile.I couldn’t help but notice how he looked. Sharp jawline, green eyes, and his shoulder-length hair pulled back into a neat ponytail. Sure, he was handsome, but that was all he had, right? He wasn't even better than me. How dare Evelyn cheat on me with him?He glanced around, admiring the walls lined with paintings and towering statues. "I love your pack's museum," His voice trailed off as he studied the massive Moon Goddess statues. They were crafted from the rarest materials—rose gold, silver, and gold gleaming under the light. Surrounding her were the sculptures of her descendants, wolves' heads, and other intricate relics that spoke of ancient times. "Nothing entertaining here," I muttered."Wrong," he countered, his eyes flicking to mine. With a casual shrug, he adjusted the brown jacket draped over his suit and pants, his black leat

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
Rejected And Betrayed: Chasing My Luna Back. 154. Annual Council Meeting (iv)
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
