Romaine slammed his hands down on the table with a loud crack, making the glasses shake and causing everyone around him to jump. He stood up quickly, his eyes full of anger and his chest rising and falling with each breath."How dare you bring that up?" he snarled. "Is this what we're talking about? Or do you think just because you are the mayor’s son, I won’t do something about it?"Evelyn froze, her breath catching in her throat. Her eyes widened as she processed his words. The mayor’s son? The shock hit her like a slap. So that’s why he gave the Pack’s responsibilities to John so quickly... He left the Pack to pursue a career in politics.Before she could think more about it, someone else snapped back with harsh words."Oh, is that how it is now? You are hurt right?" The voice was full of mockery. "If that’s the case, why bring her personal life into business? Coming from someone like you, an illegitimate child, you don’t even have the guts to make a point!"Romain’s fists clenched

Evelyn's hand trembled as she reached for his arm, fingers hovering just inches from his sleeve. Her breath hitched, but she held on, her grip weak, hoping to pull him back, hoping to stop the anger boiling inside him.John scoffed, shrugging off his suit jacket with a sharp tug. Without another word, he strode toward the door, his footsteps echoing through the empty hallway.Giovanni stepped closer, his brow furrowing as his gaze flicked between Evelyn’s cheek and her shaking body. "He didn’t hurt you, did he?" His voice was soft with concern etched on his face as Evelyn quickly shook her head, though she couldn’t understand why her gaze went to the spot where John had passed away..Giovanni and Evelyn sat across from each other in the quiet glow of Wollow Restaurant, located just outside the Nightshade Pack. Though it was outside the Pack, it was still owned by them. The soft murmur of conversation mixing with the clink of glasses filled the room. Evelyn’s gaze wandered to the nigh

DIANE“Well, I did my part. We were so close to getting rid of her… until your husband decided to step in,” he muttered, folding his hands on his chest spreading his legs apart."I mean, is he having an affair with her? Is that why he had to defend her in front of you?" His laced with curiosity, but then he added in a low disgusting voice. "Well, she does look prettier than you, though." His comment hit like a slap as my hands curled into fists at my sides. I didn’t need him to remind me of what I already knew. The memory of the meeting earlier today flashed vividly in my mind, the sting still fresh. I could remember it so clearly, John standing up for that wretched woman.I forced a smile, masking the hurt gnawing at me.“I was expecting better from you, Alpha Romain,” I said, my voice cold and sharp. My eyes lingered on his bruised face as I rose from the couch. I stood up with a serious expression on my face, refusing to let even the faintest smile slip through.“What? So you’re

EVEYLN "You just have to be careful and stay two steps ahead of them, Evelyn," Giovanni warned, his tone serious as I nodded my head."I wonder what they're plotting now. I expect something bigger soon." I stepped into the villa's corridor after our trip to the restaurant. We had stopped to shop, and my heart warmed as I glanced at the bag filled with clothes and shoes for Bea but I won't give her now, it would be a surprise. A smile crept onto my face.We had also picked up Harry's milk and medicines, along with some herbs from the Pack’s farm."Are you sure you don’t want me to take those off your hands?" Gio asked, eyeing the two heavy bags I was carrying. I sighed, glancing at the four bulging bags he carried. “I was going to ask you the same thing.”He nodded squinting his eyes, giving me a side eye as I sneered. Just as he reached for the door, I placed my hand on the handle too. Our fingers brushed, and as I looked up, our eyes meeting for a brief moment before I quickly pull

EVEYLN"Alright, Harry," he said, settling into the seat next to him. I narrowed my eyes at them, confused, my face scrunched in curiosity. He gently took the book from Harry’s hands, flipped through a few pages, then sighed and shook his head."But you do know," he said calmly. "that not all werewolves can be killed by wolfsbane, right? So, you're wrong."Harry frowned, his brows knitting together. "Then why did my teacher say that?" he asked."That's exactly why she gave you the assignment," he replied with a small smirk. "A wolfsbane plant can’t kill a Lycan...""What on earth are you teaching my son?" I snapped, striding over with Harriet in my arms. My voice cut through their conversation. Without hesitation, I snatched the papers from his hands.He raised an eyebrow at me, while I rolled my eyes. "Of course, wolfsbane can kill a Lycan," I said firmly, my voice rising slightly. "If it's mixed with its own blood, a hybrid's blood, and the plant itself."He let out a heavy sigh, p

EVEYLNMy eyes widened in surprise at her words. I glanced at John, then, without a second thought, hurried into the kitchen. "That's not love," I said gently, resting a hand on her back and giving it a soft tap, a small smile playing on my lips. "Have you eaten?" I asked, tilting my head.She nodded quickly, her eyes lighting up. "You're the only one who hasn't eaten, Mummy," she said, her voice innocent and sweet."Food's ready, Ms." John chimed in, his tone light as he untied his apron. I turned just in time to see him toss the apron onto the top of the fridge. With a sigh, I plucked it off, folded it neatly, and carried it to the cupboard in the storage room. "For your information," I called back over my shoulder, "we keep things organized here." “You know I could sue you for stalking me, right?” I snapped, glaring at him. He didn’t even flinch, his expression annoyingly calm. “I’m sure you bribed the security guards.” He scoffed and shook his head as he ignored me. “Come her

JOHNThe way he buzzes around her like an overeager fly, always sticking close, even with the kids, it makes my skin crawl. I can’t stand him. Every time he looks at her with that smug face and soft eyes, I get the overwhelming urge to rearrange it with my fist.And now, he has the audacity to ask that ridiculous question? Really? As if he doesn’t know I’m their father. The nerve of this guy. And that smirk—oh, I swear, if smirks were punchable offenses, he’d be unconscious already.I kept one eye on the window as I scrubbed the plate, making sure he was gone and Evelyn had come back inside."You’re gonna snap your neck, Alpha John. Relax, she’s not running away"Bea’s voice snapped me out of my intense window-monitoring. She stood across from me, grinning as she grabbed some fruit to slice. Then she strolled over to my side, reaching for a flat plate."Never thought I’d see an Alpha scrubbing dishes," she mused, avoiding my gaze as a playful smirk creeping across her face.I turned t

EVELYN"John's the one taking the kids, right?" Giovanni asked, glancing at me. I nodded slowly, knowing he wished he could go too. But the kids would love it if their dad joined them, they are already fond of John. Giovanni smiled, but I could see the longing in his eyes as we waited at the airport.Time dragged on, and I wondered who we were waiting for, I have already gotten like fifteen missed calls from John, with messages like 'where are you?', Like I'm with his lungs or something. Suddenly, I spotted an average height and slim woman putting on a black gown, rushing toward us, her suitcase bouncing at her side. My heart raced as I recognized her."Elena!" I shouted, throwing my arms wide."Eveyln! Oh my goddess you look so pretty!"She opened her arms to me, and we embraced tightly, grinning from ear to ear. It felt like ages since I last saw her even though it's about three years.Elena was Giovanni's sister. At first, she had been wary of me when I joined the pack, treating m

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

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
