Rejected And Betrayed: Chasing My Luna Back. 86. Diane POV.
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"I have a good news," Winnie said, her voice trembling slightly. She hesitated, fidgeting with the hem of her jacket.I turned to her, raising an eyebrow. "More good news? Sounds great to me," I said with a small smile, trying to match her excitement.Her smile grew, but instead of replying, she slipped off her brown jacket. Turning her back to me, she let it drop to the floor, revealing something I never expected.My breath caught. My eyes widened, and I clapped a hand over my mouth as I jumped to my feet.There, on her shoulder blade, was a mark—one I recognized instantly.I stammered, my voice shaky. "Alpha Reuben?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper as she nodded enthusiastically. Her happiness was contagious, I couldn’t help but feel happy for her too. She was already his mate; their bond was sealed.I sank back into my chair, still trying to process everything, while she sat beside me. Her expression softened as she began to explain.“It all started when he saved m

JOHNThe doctor’s words had crushed me. I had gone in hoping for good news, expecting to hear that she was getting better. But instead, I was left struggling to process what he had just told me. By the time I got back to her room, I still didn’t know how to break the news. So, I waited and let the doctor do it himself.As soon as he spoke, her reaction was instant. She gasped, covering her mouth as tears streamed down her face. Harriet blinked rapidly, her own eyes filled with tears. She tried to speak but couldn’t get a word out. The silence was unbearable. My hands clenched into fists, anger burning inside me. I knew exactly who was responsible, Diane and her accomplices. And I had to act fast. I needed proof to expose her for what she had done.The doctor’s voice cut through the silence.“But don’t worry,” he said gently, giving a small, reassuring smile. “With time, she might regain her speech. She won’t be mute forever.”He glanced at us before adding, “She can go home today. And

JOHN“At first, he looked scared when he tried to push us,” he began, his voice steady but laced with bitterness. “I was the one who fought back before he fell to the ground.”“So, he was paid to do it?” I asked, leaning in.He nodded slowly, confirming my suspicion.Of course, someone had paid him. But who? Diane, right? She was the only one ruthless enough to pull something like this off. Her motive was clear—make Evelyn lose the project so it could be handed over to her brother, the same brother who had been desperately fighting for it before.Wait… Diane’s brother. Benjamin.Where the hell is that guy?I placed my hands firmly on the car, my thoughts racing, when Andrew cleared his throat, snapping me back to reality.“So, should we head to the construction site?” Andrew asked, glancing at me. I nodded. “Yes.” We climbed into the car and zoomed off. The ride was quiet, almost too quiet, as if the weight of the situation hung over both of us. When we arrived, I wasted no time a

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
