ERYN

“Walking in, two over easy, side of bacon, and black coffee!” I slapped the ticket onto the spindle and wiped my hands on my apron.

Behind the grill, Hector grunted without looking up.

“Make it fast, table six is giving me the look. You know the one where they think I cooked the damn eggs myself.”

Yes, this is me. Now working as a waitress diner because one way or the other, I had to make ends meet.

Dad's hospital bills had already cut deep into my savings and there were moments I had contemplated calling Donovan, but no.

He had done enough already. I grabbed a paper towel and wiped the sweat off my face as I looked down at my watch.

10 minutes more and I would be done with my morning shift so I can go see dad as he was now admitted into the hospital permanently till he was done with his treatments.

“Hey Eryn, Table 2 needs extra syrup and a side of attitude. Guess which one they're getting first?” Marla called out and I snapped out of my thoughts, grabbing the bottle of

  • The Scarred Luna: Alpha's Unforgivable Mistake   Her Pain, Their Game.

    ERYN.It felt like walls that I was trying hard to build up and console myself after hearing all those words from a kid, just crumbled to the ground.I knew this was Saela's scheme.I knew she was trying hard to make me the villain even in the eyes of her son and the entire world, but why did that cut deep?“Mommy said you want me dead just like your son died.” I felt my entire body shudder. I was still recovering from that. Telling myself that it wasn't my fault.And then now what?,Now I hear that Torren wants to transfer his assets to her?I can't believe I was this much of a joke to him all this while.“Why…”“Eryn, calm down.” Vale remanded immediately and I pursed my lips, while the tears just streamed down.He must think I'm pathetic. I mean, who cries in front of their employer?And the way he was looking at me now.Maybe he wanted me to stop, maybe he was irritated but I couldn't stop myself.“He has no idea what he's doing! He doesn't have the slightest idea of who Saela is

  • The Scarred Luna: Alpha's Unforgivable Mistake   He Doesn't Deserve Her.

    RHYSARIO VALE “What are they doing here?” I muttered under my breath.My hands were in my pockets as I walked through the door and directly to my office.It was a constant war in my mind, trying to decide if it would be the right call for me to tell Eryn what I had just heard.Her ex husband, technically still her husband, was planning to stash away his money so she would be left with nothing.Quite an advice most expected from a mistress.I should probably tell her, she was my mate after all and it would be totally inconsiderate for me to just sit back and watch her get exploited.“Good day, Dr Vale.” Some of the interns greeted me while I walked past them and I just nodded.Alpha Torren, a total piece of shit. A scheming man like him didn't deserve someone like Eryn.I pushed the door to my office open, expecting to see Eryn behind her desk but what slammed me in the face was absolute silence.A file was open on the top of her table. I stared around immediately.If I remember corr

  • The Scarred Luna: Alpha's Unforgivable Mistake   Loyalty Isn't Free.

    TORRENI looked out the window while I pondered on what Saela had just said.As much as I didn't want her getting involved in my marriage, personal or business life, I couldn't avoid the truth that she was right in what she said.I had no idea what Eryn was planning.What if she was already looking for ways to sever the marriage completely so she could own half of the trust?She had repeated time without numbers that she didn't come back for the money but that was just absurd.And I couldn't believe it.Surely, she had something curling up her sleeves, even though I'm yet to know what.I leaned my head back on my seat rest and let my gaze fall naturally to Saela.She looked concerned, worried. Only if Eryn was just like this then maybe we could fix our marriage.But it was clear she didn't want that.After all, just days ago I had seen her with Dr Vale. Were they dating? Are they seeing each other?My mouth turned sour immediately as I let my mind drift to him.The way he held her the

  • The Scarred Luna: Alpha's Unforgivable Mistake   How To Steal A Fortune.

    SAELAHe didn't respond to me. No word. No confirmation, nothing.It was almost as if he didn't believe me or even something bigger. That only came to show how fast I was losing control.I needed to get more money from him, I really needed to.He stepped on the accelerator, the engine revved and then came to a stop. He stepped on it again and yet the same thing.“Are you out of gas?” I asked and he stared at the dashboard before shaking his head in negativity.“No. I don't think that's the problem. Probably something with the engine. Kael is on his way here with someone to check it out, we'll have to wait a bit.” I nodded immediately, playing with my fingers, trying to look for another medium to bring up the issue of more reimbursement.“How’s the divorce between you and Eryn going? I hear there's a probability she could get everything from you.” He immediately slammed his hand on the dashboard and pushed his hair back.“Saela—” His face turned rigid as he was about to scold me when I

  • The Scarred Luna: Alpha's Unforgivable Mistake   Pretty Lies.

    SAELAI gripped the hem of my skirt, trying to look casual, normal, like my heart wasn’t hammering against my ribs.This is all his fault.Rave needed to get lost. He was only still hanging around because he had money and a car. Honestly, if he wasn’t my backup plan, he’d be gone already.“He? He’s a pharmacist,” I blurted, maybe a little too fast. “I’ve been looking for a more affordable supplier for Asher’s medications. We ran into each other here. He just said hi.”I didn’t dare look at Torren directly, but I felt his gaze sweep between us. Rave gave him some weird smile, not helping, idiot.This was awkward as hell.“But… what are you doing here?” I asked, trying to sound curious, not desperate.Despite knowing exactly why he was here, my stomach dropped. I knew why he was here. My gut screamed it. He was here to see her. That woman.Fucking bitchy Eryn!“I… I came to see an associate that was admitted.” He muttered.Liar.His brows twitched, his lips stammered over the words. I

  • The Scarred Luna: Alpha's Unforgivable Mistake   Bait 2

    SAELA I stood right in the waiting room of the hospital, Asher's hands coiled around mine as he sucked on the popsicle I bought for him on our way here. I didn't usually let him have stuff like that but today? It was going to be a happy day for me so one time wouldn't hurt. “Asher? Do you remember everything I told you on the ride here?” I asked and he nodded in excitement. “Yes.” “Good.” I walked up to the receptionist immediately. “I'm looking for someone. I believe she is Dr Vale's assistant.” I muttered and the receptionist squinted her eyes at me, like she was trying to see through me or something before nodding. “Hold on one second.” She dialed a number on the telephone right beside her and pressed the receiver to her ears. “Dr Vale's assistant, Miss Eryn?” The receptionist asked and there was a little pause. “No, it's Doctor Vale that has been sought after. Someone is here to see you. Front desk.” She slammed back the receiver and turned to me. “She'll be right out soo
