“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

EVELYNMy heart stuttered, my breath hitching as an icy grip tightened around my chest. My fists clenched at my sides, nails biting into my palms as I dragged in a shaky breath, deliberately avoiding his piercing gaze. “What the heck are you talking about? You should leave, John. It’s obvious she doesn’t want you here,” Reuben bellowed looking at him like he wants to throw a fist at his face. “I’m waiting for my answer, Evelyn,” John interrupted with a firm voice. His eyes never left me.“I… I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I stammered, my voice barely above a whisper. My throat tightened as tears threatened to spill, but I swallowed hard, determined not to break down in front of him. “Wait.” Reuben tilted his head, his voice dripping with disbelief as he turned to John. “Are you trying to say that Harry and Harriet are your kids?” John let out a heavy sigh. “This,” he said, raising the paper in his hand. "is the evidence to prove they are my biological children. Evelyn

EVELYNI slapped my hands over my mouth, breathing quickly and shallowly. My chest tightened as disbelief took over. I gripped the edge of the table, trying to stay still as my legs wobbled beneath me. A bitter scoff escaped my lips."So... So that means he deceived me?" I whispered, my voice shaking."He just wanted the information, Evelyn," he muttered. "And now he has it. I’m honestly shocked. No wonder, whenever I asked about the father of your kids, you always said he was dead. Why didn’t you tell me? Didn’t you trust me?"He crossed his arms tightly over his chest, staring at me with disappointment. I shook my head, unable to meet his eyes."It’s not like that, Reuben," I said quickly. "I just wanted to keep it from certain people… to protect my kids from finding out.""Oh! So that means I'm a blabbermouth?" he replied, raising an eyebrow.I shot him a sharp side-eye with a small chuckle. We both knew the truth, but I wasn’t ready to admit it."Now that you know," I said, my voi

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
