Rejected And Betrayed: Chasing My Luna Back. 39. The phone call.
EVELYN"How dare you make those weak threats?" I snapped, "We all know it’s just talk, nothing but a lot of noise from that big mouth of hers!"I yanked off my earrings and carefully placed them in the jewelry box. My hands trembled slightly, not from fear, but from the weight of everything swirling in my head. As I stood there, my thoughts drifted to earlier today, picking Harriet up from school. She’d been quiet, her looking moody and refusing to talk to me, but I hadn’t found the time to ask what was wrong. I turned on my heel and made my way towards her room.The door creaked softly as I pushed it open. My breath hitched at the sight before me. Giovanni sat on the edge of the bed, her fingers brushing gently over Harriet’s tear-streaked face. Harriet’s eyes were red, swollen with the remnants of tears, and her fragile state hit me like a punch to the chest. My heart sank. Without a word, I crossed the room to her side."Hey," I said softly, crouching down beside her. "What’s going

EVELYN POV"You..." "Before you start cursing me out," he interrupted sharply, "I just wanted to let you know I'll be waiting for you at the construction site tomorrow. Call me when you get there my love, I can't wait to see your beautiful face" I cringed at his last words with my eyes closed. Before I could even respond, the line went dead. I stared at the phone in disbelief, my grip tightening around the phone. "How dare he hang up on me?" I muttered under my breath, A soft scoff came from beside me, pulling my attention. "Was that John?" He asked, raising an eyebrow knowingly. I turned to him, frowning. "How do you know?" He smirked, "The look on your face says it all. So, what did he want?" I rolled my eyes, crossing my arms tightly. "He told me to meet him at the construction site tomorrow. That dickhead! He won't stop bothering me with these calls." I sighed heavily, running my hands over my arms in a vain effort to shake him from my thoughts. But his words lin

EVELYN POV"Someone like you deserves someone far better than me, Alpha Giovanni," I murmured, my voice barely above a whisper. He scoffed,"That's why I want you Ms. Evelyn Matthew but it seems you are making things difficult" There was a silent between us as we made our way towards the last house of the owners of the farmland that had been ravaged by the rogues. The residents froze, their eyes going wide with surprise."Our great Alpha and the Pack Advisor are here!" a middle-aged woman exclaimed softly, as we sensed a relief in her voice. She quickly bowed her head, before gesturing toward the worn couch in the center of the room. "Please, sit down. You so beautiful in person Ms. Evelyn"She complemented as I smiled at her and then my eyes began scanning the house.The house was a modest duplex, one of many homes gifted to the members of the Pack. That alone was a proof to Alpha Giovanni’s generosity, an act of kindness that ensured every wolf had a place to call their own.The o

EVELYN POV"Hey! Speak to me with some respect, or I swear, you'll lose your damn job!" I snapped, my voice sharp and trembling with anger.My chest tightened as my heart pounded like a drum. My vision narrowed, locking onto her. How could she even suggest something like that? My kids? my kids would never do such a thing."Now," I demanded, my tone low but boiling, "explain to me, clearly, like a decent human being, what the hell is going on here. Because from what I’ve been told, my kids were harassed nearly assaulted by one of the students."She froze, blinking at me, her lips parting slightly as if she wanted to say something. But she didn’t. Her gaze lingered on me. I could tell she was just as furious, but right now, I didn’t care. I hadn’t come here expecting this. Not this kind of outrageous, gut-wrenching news.We stepped into her office, where the woman stood with her arms crossed over her chest. I glanced at her, then at the girl wiping tears from her eyes. I couldn’t make s

EVELYN POV I couldn't understand why this was happening, why she was accusing my daughter without any real evidence. The only thing she pointed to was the mark on the middle of her head.“Mummy, please... I really love this school. I don’t want to leave,” my daughter whispered loudly as she rested her head on my shoulder.Her words hit me hard. It was the only thing keeping me from pulling them out of that awful school. How could anyone love a place like this? But I couldn’t bear to see my child upset. I was the kind of mother who would do anything to make my kids happy, whatever it took.And let me tell you, my dearest child won’t be the one facing the Anti-Bullying Committee. Oh no. I’ll make sure her child does instead. That evening, I found myself at Mr. Simone’s exclusive bar, the kind of place reserved for only the most select guests. The dim lighting cast a warm glow over the polished mahogany counters, and the low soft music filled the room. I had dragged Winnie, my ever-lo

EVELYNEverything felt like it was spiraling out of control, and I couldn’t take it anymore. I turned, ready to flee the suffocating space of the bathroom, but his hand shot out and grabbed me. A sharp wave of disgust rippled through me, his touch making my skin crawl. My fists clenched at my sides, breaking his bones didn’t seem like such a bad idea right now.“Get your hands off me!” I snapped, twisting in his grip, but his arm wrapped tighter around my waist, pinning me in place. I struggled, yanking at his hand, but he wouldn’t let go.His breath brushed against my ear, sending an unwelcome shiver down my spine. “Do you know how much it healed me to know you recognized my perfume scent?” he murmured, his voice low and honeyed, almost seductive. But I stood my ground to to fall for it even though the alcohol was betraying me."Why weren't you at the construction site, Ms. Xavier?" he asked, his smirk curling into something devilish. The sound of that awful name made my stomach chur

EVELYN POV I stood outside her window, the cold night air brushing against my skin. My eyes softened as I watched her, curled up and fast asleep, like a porcelain doll. The moonlight danced across her peaceful face, and for a moment, I forgot to breathe. She was perfect, my future Luna. How I wished I could step inside, just to be closer. But I couldn’t. The door was locked, and Bea, the one person I trusted to help me, was nowhere to be found. Even she was asleep. I clenched my fists. "How could she ignore my calls?" I muttered under my breath, after everything I paid her to handle this, she knows I’d show up tonight. She knows how important this is to me.My gaze flickered back to her, guilt creeping into my chest. She looked so fragile, so innocent, and yet here I was, standing outside like a thief in the shadows. I let out a shaky breath. Of course, she’s tired, I whispered to myself, the words heavy with regret. After what I did at the bar…I ran a hand through my hair, the mem

JOHN POV The words hit me like a lightening struck. My grip on the phone tightened, my knuckles turning white. My mind raced, Evelyn’s face flashing before me again—her smile, her laugh, her everything. And also the twins... Most especially Harry because I spent some time with him but there isn't any resemblance between us or was it because I didn't care enough to check very well?My kids? My kids? The weight of it settled in my chest, pulling me under. I couldn’t breathe, placing my hands on my chest."Don't worry, I would still verify if this is true Alpha John, just leave it to me"My eyes widened as Andrew’s words playing in my mind. It felt like someone had punched the breath out of me. "Was it not the same lady you called barren? How the could they be your kids John?" Zae muttered in my mind as he hissed, though I don't know if he was angry or disappointed at me because he wasn't in support of all things Ill things I did to Evelyn.My chest tightened, my jaw slackened, and fo

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

DIANEI sped into the pack, tires screeching as the palace came into view. A crowd had formed near the side wing, Renai's side. Something was wrong. Slamming the car door behind me, I stepped out. All eyes turned in my direction. I didn't know who had made the call, but the tension here told me everything I needed to know, this was serious. "What’s going on here?" I demanded. Clusters of women stood together, murmuring. A few turned to glance at me; others simply rolled their eyes and looked away.Fuck!That reaction could only mean one thing, bad news.“I have proof they’re the Alpha’s children,” I recognized that voice pretty well it was Evelyn as she stood in front of the crowd. Her voice began trembling. “The Moon Goddess gave me twins,a boy and a girl. He’s at school right now, and my daughter…” Her voice broke. She wiped at her tears, head bowed. “She’s mute now.”“Was she born that way?” a woman asked.My heart thudded in my chest as Evelyn slowly lifted her head. She was ab
