Luther's POV ‘‘Luther, we can't do this.’’ Her words kept ringing in my head for the next few seconds as I retracted from her.Her lips were pursed. ‘‘Why not?’’ I was forced to ask, since she didn't seem like she was ready to say something. “We have a lot to handle, this should be the least of them.’’ She mumbled, bringing her face to her fingers as she started playing with them. Why do I feel like this is just a payback for what I did to her the last time she tried?‘‘Lynn, don't do this.’’ My voice came more like pleas. “I'm worried.’’ She said the obvious. And if I didn't have an erection in my pants right now, I would have tried to hear what it was about.I cupped her face, lifting it gently to mine. ‘‘We would take care of everything together, I promise. Okay?’’ There was no doubts that the consuming assurance in my voice was enough to earn her approval. But like I had thought earlier, this was definitely a payback. She shook her head instead and dropped from the table,
~Three years later~I pull the drapes open and the sunlight penetrates beautifully into the plush living room through the glass, spreading light graciously around every corner, casting shadows on the tiles and sparkling ceramic table, making the glass ornaments twinkle. I can't help the lingering smile on my lips as I watch the beautiful horizons through the glass, the beauty of the blue sky was a whole view to take in. No doubt that my stay here in the penthouse had been the best in my whole life, just the kind of life I've always dreamt of. I never heard of penthouses in the pack, humans must be really lucky. Their world hadn't been too bad, they enjoyed fair weather here. But the privilege to move around freely is what made it even more fun to me. Sadly and also auspiciously, we will be returning back to the Red moon pack today– my kids and I.It's been three years already since I left the Red Moon pack. And like Luther had promised, he made sure to visit at least twice in a
Luther's POV “Hasten your steps, Kyra. I don't like that you keep giving them the wrong impression.’’ I snapped, already frustrated with her whole act. “Hey. Stop being too harsh on me for Pete’s sake, Luther.’’ She said softly, the sad look on her face added so much to the act. “Whatever, just move faster. I told you I have a place to go.’’ I answered, pushing the door open for her to walk out. “You really don't want to reconsider me, even a friend.’’ She smiled sadly.“Being friends with my ex doesn't speak well of me, Kyra. It can affect my relationship with my mate and even the castle workers, it's not a proper thing to do.’’ I replied, looking into my wrist watch. It's past 12:00pm already. I think Evelyn's flight was supposed to be around 10 or 11am, I should have called her by now. Kyra kept burdening me, I didn't get the chance to call and know when they arrive the airport. But they should be in the plane by now, probably landing soon. I should get my phone and leave fo
Luther's POV “I'm going to Alpha Devon, don't bother waiting too long for my return.’’ She stated coldly, sending cold chills through my spine. ‘‘Wh... at?’’ Was all I could utter as I stared at her cold face with shock obviously written all over my face. What has brought Devon into this? He should be the last person to know about her arrival back to this place. Is this why she insisted on coming back? To meet Devon? She must be kidding! She was definitely pulling my legs or trying to make out a reaction from me. Without any words to me, she made to walk out but I was quick to hold her back.‘‘You can't see Devon. What for?’’ I tried to remain calm, I should try to understand where all this is coming from first, maybe I was jumping to conclusions. “Why not? Huh? If you can sleep around and do all you like with Kyra then I can also do same with Devon.’’ She barked to my face, not minding the presence of the kids. “Stop speaking gibberish, I'm not cheating with Kyra.’’ I snapp
Evelyn's POV “Yes! I love him, okay? I love him much more than you. Are you okay now?’’ I spat to his face without minding the consequences or the damage it would cause. I watched his face freeze with shock and a scoff escaped my lips. I yanked his hands off me instantly, how dare he hold me like that?He was the one that made this so messy. I had always been loyal to him but he chose to cheat on me, I'm not going to give a listening ear this time. I was not letting him lie to me!‘‘You are kidding right? You are just saying things to hurt me. C'mon Evelyn…’’“Who said I'm trying to hurt you, I've just told you the damn truth.’’ I cut him off in annoyance. In the split of a second his arms were around me, holding me tightly to himself. “What the fuck is this, let me go Luther.’’ I struggled in his grip, but it seems he is hell-bent on staying as close. He didn't try to budge. “I know you're saying things to hurt me and it's working, okay? Just stop it already please. You can't l
Evelyn's POV As we pulled up at the parking lot, I couldn't help staring around in a fit of doubt about my actual location. It was definitely worth doubting. I knew it was bound to change but I didn't expect not to recognize anything in the Bloodmoon castle. Ever since I walked out through the secret door that night, I never again found myself in the walls of the pack nor did I ever have the thought of returning here again. It had been four years already, the change shouldn't be too surprising to me I guess. I only wished Devon's personality also changed for the better like every other thing in the castle. The tiled walls, marble stones floors and the eminent paintings. Approaching the entrance with my guards behind me, we met a man by the doorway. Things may have changed drastically here but I would never forget the way to the entrance, I doubt that I would also forget the way to Devon's chambers, unless for sure he had changed his dwelling during the years. ‘‘Greetings ma'
Alpha Devon's POVI watched her keenly, making sure I left no traces of an expression on my face. A blank look would go down well in this situation, I won't want to make it easy for her to read my feelings.As much as I'm madly curious about what reason has prompted her visit, I managed to keep my cool and behave nonchalantly about the whole ordeal.She lifted her face to me. I knew she had been gathering the courage to do so all these while. Seems she finally gathered enough, considering the firm look on her face.“I want to settle things out with you. The Blood moon and the Red moon packs were supposed to be one.’’ She started.I had had the feeling that this was what she had come to talk about. Sadly, I was not ready to listen to this, but I won't end it just here. I maintained a straight face, just staring at her without a single word leaving my lips.She cleared her throat and looked around for nothing in particular. I knew I was making her uncomfortable, but that was just what I
Evelyn's POV A scoff escaped my lips for the countless time this evening, as we swerved into the castle compound. I was feeling too suffocated already, I just wanted to get the hell down from this car. I should have known that Devon was a real-ass jerk, nothing was bound to change that fact.Here I was, thinking we could have a conversation reasonably, like mature adults that we are. But he went on speaking gibberish, it feels like I even made the whole thing worse again.Maybe I shouldn't have gone to him like Luther had warned. I dropped out of the car hastily, making my way into the building when I sighted Xandre, and beside him was Luther. He rushed to me immediately, the wrinkled angry face was almost impossible to ignore. ‘‘Where did you disappear off to Evelyn?’’ His scowl deepened. But there is no time for all this. As much as I care so much about how he must be feeling right now– considering the fact that they must have been looking for me since I didn't fill anyone in
Dear Readers,As I sit down to pen this final note, I am overwhelmed with emotions.

Evelyn's POV After what felt like years of darkness I fling my eyelids open sharply to meet a blurry white surface. I blinked my lids repeatedly to clear my view when I heard a voice. Or should I say voices?I felt a warm sensation on my forehead, I traced the direction it came to see… Luther? Bloody yes! He was the one. On seeing this, my vision cleared up immediately. “Hey.’’ He called softly. I tried to sit up abruptly, but a striking pain hit my abdomen, earning a whimper from me.‘‘Fuck! Easy, you still need some rest.’’ He grabbed me carefully, helping me sit up. That was when I noticed a shadow on my left side through my peripherals. I almost jumped down from my position when my gaze caught Devon’s. “Hey.’’ His voice was so soft, it sounded weird. “What are you… what happened?’’ I faced Luther and eyed Devon again.“You're recovering,” Luther spoke, and everything came rushing into my memory. The immense coughing, the blood, my screams.“My children! Where are my childr
Evelyn's POV “Then should I get you water, my lady?” Merit came again, she was never going to get tired I guess. I ignored her yet again. She has been convincing me to eat something, but I wouldn't even respond to her.She sighed and finally left. I laid my head on the dining table, looking at nothing in particular. I felt empty. I felt dejected. My life became like a burden to me. I feel so sick and I don't know exactly what is wrong with me. Worse is nobody cares, or Luther doesn't care. He never came to see me, he doesn't ask after me. He hates me now. Even I hate myself. My children were the only pillar I clung onto. Their love was enough to keep me alive and waiting for Luther's forgiveness. I'm sure the pack members hate me now, probably excluding my maids though. I lifted myself wearily, dragging myself to the bed. I reached for my phone and stared at Luther's number, but a knock came on the door. The person came in when I wouldn't respond, and my eyes almost popped out
Alpha Devon's POV A genuine smile lingered uncontrollably on my lips. It was the first time in four years that I felt genuinely happy. The thoughts of having some tiny little feet pattering the floor sent a hearty chuckle off my lips. “We're here, Alpha.’’ My driver announced, turning the engine off. A fresh wind hit my face as I stepped out. I started my way briskly into the building. What could possibly go wrong now? I would be having my children soon! ‘‘Hey.’’ A familiar voice called out. It had better be my ears malfunctioning. “Finally. I've been waiting for you.’’ She came to view from the waiting room, and it wasn't my ears.A deep sigh escaped my lips. Turns out something could actually go wrong. My smiles dissipated.“Why are you here, Kyra?” “Why do you guys always ask me that silly question?’’ She said as she rolled her eyes. “There is no room for you here. You once misused your privilege, you can't have it again.’’ I continued my way inwards. “We both know that b
Evelyn's POV Trailing my eyes on him from his face to his feet, I knew at this moment that I both hated and dreaded this man in front of me. He was my doom! I looked away from him with a silent sigh, trying to gather up my nerves that were depleted first. “Greetings to you too, Devon.’’ I managed to produce a firm tone, even as my insides were crashing down already. Every word that left his lips, there was no way anyone around wouldn't read the meaning of it.‘‘What now? Wonder Woman in action?’’ He jeered. Somehow, I never get to miss his nasty smirks.“Cut to the chase, Devon. Why are you here?’’ I took a sharp breath, blotting up my true feelings behind an unaffected facade. “You know, Evelyn, that's one thing about you. You're so adept at gauging up your emotions. But I suppose Luther has been too foolish to decipher them, too consumed by his selfish desires to recognize your true nature! But well what does it matter now?" His previously furrowed expression transformed into
Evelyn's POV My heavy eyelids paved the way to a rather confined view, despite how much I widened them. It had become a mundanity every morning I awake, after my anticlimactic date with Luther three days ago. I sat up on my bed. Shoving my bedding aside, I went to the bathroom. Did my morning routine and retired back to bed. That is how it has been every morning for the last few days too. Nothing changed. Luther hasn't tried to come to see me, which means he was still really mad at me.I barely left my room, even if it was certain Luther never brought anyone in on the discovery. If my instincts still function correctly, then I guess the incredible knowledge was just limited to myself and the two colluding brothers. I spend the whole of my days in my room. I no longer see the kids often, except for sure they ask after me and are brought to see me. But they haven't since yesterday, and it bothered me.Sabrina isn't an exemption, except that I never approved of her visits. She had
Luther's POV My gaze didn't waver, I made sure to concentrate my attention on her and capture her every expression. She looked lost and confused. She was probably trying to think fast. But as I had plotted, she was caught off guard. She couldn't gather up an excuse quickly. My gaze on her made it even worse for her blink an eye freely, let alone come up with a believable lie. She slowly faced me when she eventually got the nerves to. ‘‘What truth? I mean…why is no one… drinking?’’ She stuttered, despite how much she tried to compose herself. “You know why. Spill!’’ I replied flatly, though my gaze on her said otherwise. She must be questioning herself inwardly, wondering if I found out about her grave secret already. But she's a champ at hiding her emotions, it was a little difficult trying to gauge her thoughts. Her shaky lips parted again, the curiosity to hear what it would say soared within me. But my hopes were shattered by the noise from the server’s entrance, quickly qu
Luther's POV She looked up to me slowly, and though I couldn't really see the look in her eyes through the dim light, I could tell solely that she had nothing but suspicion in them. Her question confirmed it all. I knew she was going to ask, she wasn't so dull. But I was not ready to disclose anything to her yet, I would make her wait and see for herself. ‘‘Luther…’’‘‘Now how are we going to find out if you don't get your round booty on a seat?’’ Devon cake at her, interrupting her speech and snatching my gaze to himself. “Language, Devon.’’ I came at him. I don't appreciate using such flirty words for my mate, it doesn't sit well with me. “Really? Whatever!’’ He rolled his eyes. ‘‘Lynn, sit, we have a lot to talk about.’’ I returned my gaze to her. I didn't know what was going on with her but I'm pretty sure fear was among them. “You wanted us to restore our brother bond right?’’ I started saying again, trying to ease the sudden tension in her.Even if I knew there was stil
Evelyn's POV I stepped out of the bathtub and went for my face towel, burying my face in it. I wiped my face before tying a larger towel around my chest. I stepped out of the bathroom to see Ember by my dressing table. I couldn't figure out what exactly she was onto by the table. She turned to me and a broad smile crawled onto her face. “C'mon, Luna.’’ She beckoned to me.A silent sigh escaped my lips as I started my way towards her. I still haven't been able to ask her anything. What if it happens to be related to her personal affairs or it has to do with her family life? Different thoughts keep haunting me, I couldn't ask her about it yet. Maybe if it happens again in my presence, then I will ask her. I sat in front of the mirror and she started blow drying my hair. “My lady, you've got a beautiful head of hair.’’ I heard her say and my gaze traveled to her in the mirror. She was smiling as usual as she focused on the hair.“Merit said it wasn't like this sometimes ago.’’ Sh
