GIOVANNI"Sweet brother," Elena called out, her voice light and teasing as her footsteps echoed down the stone hallway. I rolled my eyes, muttering under my breath. How did she always know where to find me, even down here in the dungeon?The air was thick with the stench of decay, heavy and suffocating. Elena wrinkled her nose, waving a hand in front of her face. "Ugh, this place still smells dead bodies" she said with a sharp tone of disgust. "Why can’t anyone clean this dungeon properly? Don't you guys dispose fucking bodies?"She snapped at the nearby guards, her voice echoing off the damp walls. They didn’t, react nor flinch, expressionless as always and that's the main reason they are dungeon guards, heartless and would leave you to anyone here to die because once you enter here, you are already considered a dead person except, moon goddess pardons your life. With a frustrated huff, she planted her hands on her hips like a queen scolding her servants. She looked like she had eit

EVEYLNI saw his red eyes slowly fade, returning to their green color. "Look, Eveyln you have to listen to me, you child will be in danger..."Stepping closer, I gently took his hands in mine. Then, I gave the driver a small nod, silently dismissing him. He bowed respectfully and walked out of the hallway, leaving us alone, meanwhile Carlo stood outside as we entered inside the room.He sat stiffly in the chair by Harriet’s bed, while I settled on the edge of the mattress, the blankets crumpling beneath me.Taking a deep breath, I began explaining everything, what had happened to Harriet and Harry, and how John was involved. I could sense his doubt immediately I mentioned John."Where is John now?" he asked, his voice tense and distrustful. His sharp gaze locked onto me, full of suspicion.I sighed, my shoulders slumping under the weight of it all. "He's... handling this issue" I murmured. "And you believe that?""He said he'd be right back and asked me to look after Harriet," I add

JOHN“Mira, sweetheart, are you sure you didn’t see anyone take Harry from the classroom?” Diane asked gently, crouching to Mira’s level.The little girl kept her head down and slowly shook it without looking up.I couldn’t stop myself. Desperation crept into my voice. “Are you sure? Was it a teacher? Did you see her? I know it was a woman…”“Alpha John,” Aria interrupted firmly, reaching for Mira’s trembling hand. “I understand how badly you want to find the person responsible, but please, she’s just a child. Pressuring her won’t help. She’s already told you everything she knows.” she paused then continued. "so please it's either you enjoy or meal or...""Or I leave" I pushed my chair back with a loud screech. “Well, I’m leaving.” I rolled my eyes and stomped out of the house, slamming the door behind me. Light but hurried footsteps followed close behind. It had to be Diane.This whole trip had been a waste of time. I should have gone with Andrew to track down the list of buyers for

DIANE "Your man and his ex-wife are getting cozy inside," Aria texted. I stared at the message and scoffed, acting like it didn’t bother me. But deep down, it did. No matter how much I tried to ignore it, the words stung. In the restroom, I turned on the faucet and rinsed my hands, scrubbing off the sticky chocolate as it almost makes me wanna throw up. It clung to my skin, just like the bitterness of that text. I grabbed a napkin and dried my hands quickly. My phone buzzed again, but I ignored it. Instead, I pressed the call button and held the phone to my ear. "Heo Chino," I said, my voice low but firm. "Take the kid to the basement at Nacro Pack. Don’t worry, Aria will keep them distracted. Just make sure John doesn’t notice." I hung up without waiting for a reply and slipped the phone into my bag. My heels clicked against the floor as I left the restroom, each step matching the rhythm of my thoughts. Near the classroom door, I paused and glanced inside. Harriet sat a

EVEYLN The moment Bea called to say Harry was back, I didn’t waste a second. My heart raced as I rushed out. I didn’t care about the details or his condition, my son was home, and that was all that mattered. But I couldn’t shake the confusion. How had this happened?Without thinking, I texted John, my hands shaking. Only after I sent it did I remember he had mentioned handling with something at home. I shouldn’t have bothered him. Regret settled in my chest.Chino wasn’t outside, but I knew he was already in the car, waiting to take me to the villa.When we arrived, panic hit me the moment I saw my car parked out front. John was here. My legs moved before my thoughts, and I rushed inside.The air in the parlor was heavy with tension. Then I saw him, my son. My breath caught, my eyes widening in surprise as I placed my hands on my mouth."Evelyn..." A voice broke the silence, pulling me back.I didn’t need to turn to know it was John. His hand settled firmly on my shoulder, grounding

EVEYLN"Ouch!" I flinched as the ointment stung my wounded face. His hand was steady but firm as he carefully guided the cotton wool, holding it between the silver blades of scissors."Sorry," he murmured, his voice soft, almost a whisper. "I'll be gentle." His touch lightened as he dabbed around the sore skin. For a moment, he paused, and our eyes met—his gaze on mine, searching. I held my breath. The room felt still, as if everything had stopped."He's asleep, ma'am," Bea's voice suddenly broke the silence, snapping me out of the moment.Startled, I turned to her, blinking away my daze. She stood in the doorway, glancing between us. Heat rushed to my cheeks as I quickly looked down, breaking the stare. "Make sure the AC isn’t too high. Just keep it at medium, that should help him cool off," John muttered. She nodded slightly before turning and leaving the room."He’s going to start hurting innocent people, Evelyn. Please, agree to take him to the Silvermoon Pack," John urged, his t

EVEYLNThe alarm blared loudly, snapping me awake. I stretched and yawned, feeling a dull ache in my head, I must have stayed up too late. Sunlight streamed through the window, but something else caught my attention, a familiar scent.John.Where's that moron?I sat up quickly and rushed to the bathroom, but he wasn’t there. My room looked surprisingly neat, even though I remembered it being a mess last night. I had knocked over an ointment bottle and stumbled into John. But now, the bottle was gone. Instead, it was neatly placed in the first aid box.Did John clean up, or was it Bea?After freshening up, I walked into the parlour. The room was silent and empty—there was no one in sight. Curious, I made my way to Harry's room.I pushed the door open and found him sitting cross-legged on the bed, gripping a game controller. Beside him, John leaned against the headboard, laughing as the game played on the screen. A smile tugged at my lips, and a wave of relief washed over me. Harry was

EVEYLN"Slow down.... Evelyn," John called as he hurried after me."He's in the dungeon right now, with my warriors," he added, as he sighed.I skidded to a halt, spinning to face him. The weight of betrayal hit me like a punch, tightening my chest but it must have hurt John more than me. It must have shown on my face. John, of all people, should have known better, chino worked for him."How did this happen?" I demanded, my voice cracking. "Who was he working with? How could he do this... to a kid?"John flinched, his eyes darkened with guilt. "He confessed," he admitted quietly, looking down like the words were too heavy to meet my gaze. "It was Diane... and another woman he couldn’t name. But... there was also a man.""What?" My voice rose, disbelief flooding every syllable.Diane. Of course, she was behind this. But now there were two more, two people working with her? My hands clenched into fists, shaking with anger. How many did it take to try and ruin me? And for what?For nothi

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
