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
Luther's POV I sauntered aimlessly along the porch, just trying to stave off the thoughts of Evelyn from my mind.I should not care and I shouldn't be thinking about how she felt. But I am anyway, not like I was a saint either.It was all her fault! How dare she lie to me? She could have told me still. I would have understood her, I would have still kept her because I loved her. How dare she give me high hopes on having my own children only for it all to come crashing down at once? It was just too much to take in. I shouldn't be feeling so guilty, it was her fault. Or maybe we were now even. She lied to me and I slept with Kyra, it shouldn't be that hard right?Besides, if she had told me about it then I would never have been in that grill with that little witch and ended up in bed with her. I was drunk, Evelyn wasn't when she lied to my face. She was not fucking drunk! I shouldn't feel guilty, half the whole mistake is her fault!! She caused it. Negotiating things with Devon w
Luther's POV I felt my whole body freeze at once, I couldn't move a hand. Not until I noticed her head turn slowly to me with a loud gasp. I turned sharply to face her immediately. Her eyes were widened in disbelief. I could see the burning hurt in her heavy eyes, she didn't need to say anything. She was physically trembling from her shock and surprise. ‘‘You... you were with her... last… last night. Weren't… y... you?’’ She stuttered, clinging tightly onto her dress with her knuckles so white already. ‘‘N…No, Lynn. I… its… it’s not the way you…’’ A breathless gasp dropped from her mouth as she turned away, hurrying off before I could complete my statement. ‘‘Lynn…’’ I called out, but she ran into the building at once, gasping into her hands. “Damn it!’’ I cursed, banging my fist on the rails.The phone resumed ringing again and I snatched it sharply from the wooden stool. ‘‘Finally! I thought you…’’‘‘Stupid bitch! I don't remember saying it was okay for you to call whenever y
Evelyn's POV I put up my hair in a messy bun, it had become too full for me to hold it up in a neat ponytail on my own. Releasing an exhale, I picked the hair scrunchie on the dressing table and slipped my hair into it before walking out. I bumped into Ember by the door. ‘‘Hey.’’ I called out in relief, exhaling sharply. “I'm sorry, my lady. I thought I should know if you would like to have your meal now.’’ She smiled warmly. ‘‘Ah, I see. I'm still not hungry yet though, where is Merit?’’ I cleared my throat. “She is in the kitchen. She asked me to come check on you.’’ She replied softly. She seems nice, I can't say much for sweet yet. But I'll say she's pretty calm and innocent. I think I like her. “Alright Ember, I'm doing fine for now.’’ I smiled back at her. ‘‘Do let me know if you need anything at all my lady, I'll always be...’’ Her statement was cut short by the sound of a ringing phone. “Excuse me, my lady.’’ She smiled and I nodded. She dug out the phone from her po
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
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
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

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
