Chapter 71

Ever's POV Mila popped a grape into her mouth, chewed for barely two seconds, then her eyes widened. “Oh my God. This is heaven,” she said, taking another. “Compared to that stale bread and infested soup they serve back at the ranch.” Kia burst out laughing, and I couldn't help but join her as Mila immediately reached for another handful, stuffing a few grapes into the folds of her dress before looking around as though she had just committed a serious crime. “You're actually stealing them?” I asked, laughing. “Stealing?” Mila scoffed. “I'm securing provisions. And don't just stand there. Help! Get a bag or something.” Kia laughed harder, but before Mila could defend herself any further, she froze. I followed her gaze to Hannah, who was standing a short distance away, watching us with her eyes specifically on Mila. Mila slowly lowered her hand, sweating profusely as Hannah approached. On reaching us, she looked between the three of us before glancing at the grapes Mila h

Ever's POV My eyes caught Hagan, who was the first to come through the entrance and beside him, Rhaeya. The crowd erupted as she waved past them and towards the high table. Following behind was Zeke. He looked…different today. Replacing his usual cold and irritated demeanor was a warm one. His sister Aya was right beside him as they made their way to their seats at the table. And finally, the elders, all surrounded by guards and warriors on duty, followed. The crowd bowed as they passed, and once they reached their designated seats, the claps and cheers died down and everyone slowly straightened again. The music had stopped. The entire festival grounds had gone strangely quiet and the air became awkwardly tense. One of the elders looked around, clearly confused by the sudden silence. “Why has everyone stopped?” No one answered as everyone's gaze remained quietly fixated on the high table. Then Elder Owen stepped forward with a grin. “What are you all waiting for?” he je

Ever’s POV “What?” I stared at Hagan, seriously confused. “What do you mean? Why did I do what? What did I do?” “And now, you act oblivious?” His tone sharpened. “You've changed, Ever.” He let out, somewhat disappointed. “And I don't mean that in a good way.” Wha... ‘I’ changed? Really? His words were so laughable. “I know.” He told me. I almost laughed. “Know what, Hagan? You always think you know. But every single time you keep getting it wrong,” I told him mockingly. “You've revealed the news of Rhaeya's pregnancy, Ever.” Hagan said, his voice already edged with frustration. My jaw fell open. He? He knew? She was really pregnant. I hadn't guessed wrong. “Why did you do it? After all these years of being on my neck about making us public, why would you make things even harder instead of coming to me directly? Why tell everyone?” My eyes shot up to meet him as he asked. The question hurt more than I expected, especially because it confirmed the one fear I'd had

Chapter 74: Moon Festival IX Hagan's POV I stared at Roy without answering. His question was simple enough. What was I doing here, alone in the garden, with an Omega? Yet I found myself unable to give him an answer, my eyes drifting instead to Ever, who stood beside me with tears still staining her cheeks. Only minutes ago, she had looked at me with hope in her eyes when I told her I might have a way for us to come public. I could still see that look on her face, and it made this even harder. I could tell Roy everything right now. I could simply say she was my mate, that I had been keeping our relationship secret for three years, and that I intended to make her my official Luna. It would be the easiest thing to say. But unfortunately, It would also be the dumbest thing I could do. Politically, strategically, it would put us both in danger. And if word got out before I had a plan in place, that was a hole we were never crawling out of. I couldn't just throw everything away beca
