Rejected And Betrayed: Chasing My Luna Back. 56. Risky.
JOHN POV."Wow, Mr. Handsome, you’re even better looking in person!" Harriet exclaimed, her eyes sparkling as she leaned forward, resting her chin on her hand. A playful grin spread across her face, and she threw in a quick wink . "Harry’s been telling me all about you, but I have to say, you’re way cuter in real life."I sighed inwardly. Gosh, these kids."Marry me, Mr. Handsome," she added, clasping her hands together as if pleading. The corner of my lips twitched, and a small smile broke my lips.We were at Costco Restaurant, where I had managed to reserve a cozy table for four in the VIP section immediately I got the messy coming from Harry. As I looked at Harry and Harriet, I couldn’t help but grin. The joy of the moment seemed to wrap around me like a warm blanket."This is risky, Alpha John. I really don’t want to do this. If Ms. Evelyn catches me, I’m done for," Bea muttered nervously, her voice barely above a whisper. I scooped a small portion of the lemon soup and brought

DIANE POV "What?" I gasped, my voice trembling as the word escaped me. My knees buckled, and I clung to the edge of the table to keep myself upright so that I won't fall. A cold, sharp ache pierced my chest, leaving me breathless. The phone slipped from my hand, tumbling toward the floor. Before it hit the ground, Aria snatched it up."They're his biological kids!" I blurted as I scoffed in disbelief.I froze, my eyes fixed on the DNA report spread out on the table. My stomach twisted in knots, and tears burned at the edges of my eyes. The lines of text blurred, but I couldn’t look away. My hands shook as I fumbled to call the doctor who had performed the test. I needed to hear it from him. I needed to know if what I was seeing was real. "Jeez, Diane, I told you these are legit! But no, you'd rather call the doctor to confirm," Aria voiced as she stepped closer and reached out to me, trying to grab my hand. "Look, let's just leave the hospital. Staying here doesn’t make any sense.

“Mummy, what are you making for dinner?” Harriet asked, bouncing on her legs. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity as she watched her mother stir the pot on the stove.“Mashed rice and vegetables,” Evelyn replied with a warm smile, gently ruffling Harriet’s hair.“Can I help?” Harriet's small voice chimed.Evelyn shook her head, her hands still busy. “No, sweetheart. Go watch a movie with your brother, Harry. I’ll call you when it’s ready, okay?”Harriet frowned but didn’t argue. Instead, she turned and padded over to the cabinet. Climbing onto a tall stool, she reached for a knife to cut some leaves. “Harriet, wait!” Evelyn’s voice rang out, gently, stopping her in her tracks. “Come on, you’ll hurt yourself; it’s sharp!” Evelyn warned, glancing at the knife in her daughter’s hands.“Is it so wrong for me to help you in the kitchen, Mum?” Harriet asked, her eyes wide with surprise.Evelyn shook her head, taken aback by the question. She quickly took the knife and placed it on the high s

EVELYN POVA strange heat spread under my skin, blurring my vision. My fingers trembled as sharp claws started to push through, scraping against my nails. Panic squeezed at my chest.“No, no…” I whispered, my voice shaking. “It can’t be Moon Goddess Day. Not today.”I stumbled, my legs giving way as I fought against the shift. The dining room seemed miles away, each step a battle against the wolf trying to take control. My wolf, Vivi, growled inside me, her presence growing stronger.“Ahh!” I cried out, clutching my sides, desperate to hold her back. My breath came in ragged gasps. “Vivi, please! Not now!”Her pull was raging inside of me, no matter how hard I tried it wasn't going to work and I need to save my kids and atleast lock them inside the room. I collapsed to my knees, nails scraping the floor as my claws fully emerged. My body trembled violently, caught in the struggle between human and wolf.This was the cruel reality of Moon Goddess Day. For most Alphas, it was a brief sh

"Who are you, and what the heck are you doing here?" Giovanni demanded with his voice sounding breathless.He lay sprawled on the ground, panting heavily, his body fully shifted back into human form. His gaze locked onto Evelyn, draped naked across a man's lap. Sand and streaks of blood clung to their skin. Giovanni blinked rapidly, his vision sharpening and when he finally saw the man's face, his stomach twisted. It was John. His expression darkened instantly, his brows knitting into a deep frown.John’s arms tightened protectively around Evelyn as he crouched behind the cover of a tree, his eyes darting toward the woods. He was trying to shield her, making sure he was alert, watching for the wolves still prowling nearby. The growls and snapping claws echoed in the distance. Giovanni dragged himself closer, his jaw clenched as his eyes bore into John. "Get your hands off her," he growled with a low voice.John’s head snapped towards Giovanni, his face hardening. "She's hurt," he sna

EVELYN My fists clenched as soon as I saw John standing at my front door, acting too relaxed, like he owned the place.Without thinking, I walked toward him, ready to push him out of my space. But then I noticed Giovanni standing in the hallway. His jaw was tight, his eyes reddened, like someone had stopped him from coming inside."Evelyn," Gio said with a calm voice as his eyes darted towards me coming outside.John turned at the sound, giving me a smug smile that made my blood boil."Get out of my house," I snapped, my voice sharp. "If you don’t leave now, I’ll call the guards to throw you out. You have no right to be here. How dare you think of stepping foot into his house?"John didn’t move, though his smile faded a bit. I barely looked at him before turning to Gio. My voice softened just a little. "Let’s go inside," I said, turning my back towards the door."It's okay," Gio said softly, his voice gentle as he stepped back. "I just wanted to check if you and the kids are doing fi

Her words sent a chill through me, but I kept my face neutral, not wanting to worry her more. Inside, though, my heart was racing.But I can't help but wonder, why didn’t Bea say anything to me? Was she planning to tell me later, or... did she not notice it because she was shifting then? My chest tightens as I wrestle with these thoughts. Gosh, this is driving me crazy. My eyes flick over to John, who’s sitting across from me. I notice him tilting his head slightly, his brow furrowed in that way he does when he’s deep in thought. It’s like I can almost see the gears turning in his mind, each click making me more anxious. He breaks the silence with a calm voice "That’s called imbalance shifting." I blink, trying to process his words, but before I can respond, Harriet adds, "Mummy said the same thing. She also said he’s a special wolf." I notice John's eyes widen. My own hand trembles slightly as I reach for the spoon, bringing it up to my mouth. But as I lift it, I realize i

EVELYNI scoffed. If it wasn’t Giovanni, then… who? I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the red skirt and suit I had put on. The sharp lines of the outfit hugged me perfectly, making me look confident. I pulled my hair back into a neat ponytail, with the strands falling neatly into place, and finished with a bold layer of red lipstick. My jewelry—earrings, bracelets, and a necklace shone softly under the light. Polished. Composed. Exactly how I needed to look."Have you forgotten that you were injured last night? You must’ve gotten the scents mixed up," I said to Vivi as I grabbed my black bag from the table."I guess so," she murmured in my mind.I brushing off the nagging thought as I stepped out of my room. My heels clicked against the floor as I walked swiftly down the hallway, but my mind drifted to Harry. Without thinking, my pace quickened. When I reached his door, I turned the knob and pushed it open without hesitation. There he was, already awake, sitting comfortably

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

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

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

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
