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
Evelyn's POV ~Two days laterI ruffled my kids' hair proudly, their cuteness was something I would never stop being proud of. “You both can go on and wait for me.’’ I said, and they ran out of the room together. I shook my head with a smile as I watched them, they definitely took their habits from me. I looked into my gold wristwatch, we still had about ten minutes before our ride arrived. We were going shopping for some more clothes today, mostly because of the birthday celebration we got invited to. I need a nice dress to look outstanding in the party. It's a Luna’s birthday celebration so every noble person was invited, considering the friendly nature of her Alpha. Sabrina had promised to get a whole collection of styles for me to choose which of them suits me. The door pulled open and as if my thoughts had called her, Sabrina walked in with smiles on her pretty face as usual. I was so jealous of Xandre right now, he's got a beauty for a mate. No wonder he's so crazy abou
Luther's POV I almost turned to look into my wristwatch again when I heard their footsteps from the stairs already. A long breath left my lips as I turned to watch the doorway. It was Sabrina and Evelyn, Xandre left with the kids already. And they are probably drenched with sweat in the car, waiting for us.‘‘Took you both long enough.’’ I rolled my eyes once they came to sight. “You should compliment the Luna’s dress instead, Alpha Luther.’’ Sabrina spoke with her usual smile on her face, as she assisted Evelyn in walking for whatever reason. As if she had woven a spell with her mouth, my eyes trailed Evelyn's dress. It was a royal blue lacey dress, embedded with diamond stones. But it's outstanding style is what I immediately noticed.“Now I see why it took you both forever dressing up.’’ I uttered with my eyes still on her, and my gaze caught her glaring eyes. ‘‘Don't get me wrong, I'm saying it's.… lustrious!’’ I demonstrated with my arms. I resolved to go to her. Sabrina k
Kyra’s POV I folded the paper in a piece, slipping it into its envelope carefully. I couldn't help the lingering smile on my lips, butterflies balled up in my belly. It's been years already since I've been trying to get the piece from Devon. I was finally able to get it when I went to him a few days ago. I'll show it to Luther and make him see how much of a fool Evelyn has been making out of him. Those children haven't been his all these while. He has been dumb for too long already, falling for her silly little tricks. After shoving the DNA test results to his face today, he wouldn't have the chance to run from the truth anymore. I'll destroy their union, I'll make him mine again. She stole him from me with fake claims, I'll destroy her plans.Devon had gotten the results. But he couldn't get the chance to prove it to Luther since they destroyed their bond already. So it's been useless. Well not anymore I guess. I shoved the envelope into my bag, pulling my car door open to
Kyra’s POV I watched quietly as he kept pouring several shots down his throat. I had tried consoling him, but he chose to take comfort from the same bottle of vodka he had rejected earlier.He filled up another shot glass. I couldn't ignore his wobbly hands as he tried to direct the rim of the bottle to the vodka shot glass.‘‘Luther you've had enough already.’’ I tried to stop him, but he shot me a murderous glare. One that seemed to contain a mixture of anger and pain.‘‘You can't keep doing this.’’ I uttered ruefully, watching as he poured the content down his throat again.I bit my lips, battling between regret and contentment within myself. I didn't think he was going to react like this. He was a mess already.‘‘You wanted me to drink, didn't you?’’ He said with a deep voice, looking so flushed on his both cheeks.He was totally canned!“Not like this. You are almost gone.’’ I forced myself not to yell at his face.“I'm not drunk, I'm totally conscious of my actions.” He snap
Evelyn's POV I gently pulled my hand away from Carlos once I was sure that he was fast asleep. I shoved my legs to the floor, turning down the bedside lamp. I looked over at my sleeping kids once more before rising on my feet. I walked out of the room, carefully shutting the door behind me. I can't afford waking them. ‘‘My Luna!’’ Sabrina appeared behind me, leaving me startled. ‘‘Sabrina!’’ I called out, holding my chest. She let out a light giggle. ‘‘I'm sorry, Luna. Xandre seeks your presence in the Alpha's office.’’ She reported. She had insisted on addressing me as her Luna instead, I didn't fight it.‘‘Is he back yet? The Alpha.’’ I questioned quietly as I started for the office. I already knew the answer to my question, but I just thought I should ask still.‘‘No, my Luna.’’ She murmured, following behind me. I had asked her that same question more than five times tonight. I didn't say any more words until we got to the office. As much as I tried to brace myself that he wo
Evelyn's POV I sat still on the chair with my gaze lingering on the huge coffee brown office table leisurely. Xandre had been doing well with his talking even though he didn't know it helped to take my thoughts away from his report to me earlier. My mind wouldn't stop coming up with different typical reasons why Luther would go to the Blood Moon pack. Or why he would not get annoyed after receiving the reports of the fatal turmoil from the clinic. Did he somehow find out the truth? The same truth I had been burying over and over? Snap off it, Evelyn! He could not possibly have found out, he probably just wanted to play a deuce with Devon. It can't be anything more. ‘‘But I really never thought you didn't get to see him before he left, I would have told filled him in on how much you were worried about him and stuff.’’These lines of Xandre’s caught my hearing, it seemed to be the only thing he has said without the sound of a joke in it. He won't stop joking around, not when we no
Dear Readers,As I sit down to pen this final note, I am overwhelmed with emotions. The journey we embarked on together, through the pages of "Mated to the Cruel Alpha; His Rejected Omega Mate," has been nothing short of extraordinary.

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
