All Chapters of Rejected And Betrayed: Chasing My Luna Back.: Chapter 261 - Chapter 270

"There’s another car,” Paulo said over the phone, his voice tight. “It arrived with Giovanni’s. I’m sending you the location now.”Evelyn’s phone buzzed in her hand. She didn’t waste a second, her foot slammed on the accelerator, and the car shot forward, tires screeching as they tore into the road.“We should take Micah to the hospital first,” John said, gripping the handle as the car sped up.“No.” Micah’s voice came out rough, strained, but firm. He pressed a hand against his bleeding side, his jaw clenched against the pain. “I’m not missing this.”Evelyn flicked her eyes to him through the rearview mirror. Blood soaked through his shirt, spreading fast, but his gaze burned with something stronger than the pain and rage.“He’s taken enough from me already,” Micah added, his breathing uneven. “I finish this today.”The distant wail of sirens cut through the air.Evelyn exhaled sharply. “Too late.”An ambulance swerved into view, blocking their path. Before the car fully stopped, par

Later that evening, John leaned against the cold railing of the rooftop, the city lights flickering below like restless stars. The wind pushed lightly against his shirt as he glanced sideways at Charles, who stood still, hands in his pockets, eyes fixed in the distance."Should I start with how your mayorship is going," John said, tilting his head, his voice edged with quiet curiosity, "or the part where Giovanni’s mother knows you?"Charles didn’t answer at first. His jaw tightened slightly, and he exhaled slowly, the breeze catching the strands of his hair as he stared ahead like he was somewhere else entirely."It’s a long story, John," Charles finally said, his voice low, almost reluctant.John straightened a little, folding his arms, his gaze sharpening. "Then start talking," he muttered, watching him closely.Charles shifted his weight, his fingers tapping once against the railing before going still again. He dragged a hand down his face, like he was trying to wipe away the past

Time was slipping fast for John and Eveyln. Bringing someone like Giovanni down wasn’t about rumors it needed hard, undeniable proof.Eveyln paced the room, her bare feet brushing against the cold floor, her eyes tired but refusing to close. The bed behind her remained untouched. She grabbed her phone again, dialing John, pressing it harder against her ear as if that would make him answer but the line rang out. Again.Frustration tightened in her chest. She exhaled sharply and turned back to the table, fingers trembling slightly as she sorted through the scattered files. Papers slid over each other, records of bribery, hidden transactions, signatures that shouldn’t exist. Then the autopsy report. Her hand paused on it, her jaw clenching. The truth about his former Luna wasn’t what he told the world. It was all there, written in cold, clinical detail.“Twenty-four hours…” she muttered under her breath.She dropped into the chair, dragging a pen across a sheet as she scribbled down poin

COUNCIL MEETING, D-DAY The council hall stood tall and imposing, the U-shaped arrangement of long tables already set. At the curved center, Eveyln stepped in, her heels clicking softly against the polished floor. She moved with quiet grace, her plain blue gown fitting neatly against her frame, thin straps resting on her shoulders. Her hair was pulled back into a sleek ponytail, her makeup was light with just a pink lipstick and a mascara. Her eyes lifted and landed on the front seat. The same seat. A faint scoff slipped past her lips before she could stop it. The memory hit just as fast, the way she and John had been humiliated right there. It lingered and refusing to fade. Her jaw tightened, but she forced herself forward. Last night’s announcement still weighed heavily in her chest. Nightshade Pack had officially cut ties with Silvermoon Pack. The news had spread like wildfire, leaving both her and John tense, their plans suddenly more fragile than before. She inhaled slowly

“What if it’s fabricated?” Giovanni’s voice rang out, sharply but the strain under his voice was starting to show. “Do you realize these accusations against me could also destroy BrightSun Pack?”A ripple moved through the hall.Jude adjusted the microphone slightly, his gaze still locked on him. “Are you threatening me now, Alpha Giovanni?”Giovanni’s jaw tightened. “No,” he replied, forcing calm into his tone. “I’m stating a fact.”“Exactly!”Another Alpha rose from his seat, backing him up as murmurs spread again, the room beginning to split, some leaning toward doubt, others watching closely, waiting for the next blow.“Even if he’s illegitimate why does that matter?” the Alpha continued, spreading his hands as he faced the room. “Look at what he’s done. He’s grown his Pack three times beyond its limits. Even his late father couldn’t achieve that. Giovanni built that with his own effort.”Murmurs of agreement rolled in.Chairs scraped.One Alpha stood.Then another.Support rose l
