Evelyn

Two days after the picnic, the pack house felt quieter than usual. Gaius was at his desk, engrossed in a stack of papers, while I sat by the window, sipping tea and letting the morning light ease my thoughts. For the first time in weeks, it felt like we were starting to rebuild the fragile threads of a normal life. That peace was shattered by a panicked knock at the front door.

“Alpha! Luna!” The voice was urgent, high-pitched, and unmistakable—it was Adam.

Gaius was already on his feet before I could react, his chair scraping loudly against the hardwood floor. I followed him into the hallway, my heart pounding. When Gaius opened the door, Adam and Lisa burst in, both pale and visibly shaken.

“Adam? Lisa?” Gaius’s tone was sharp, his Alpha presence commanding. “What’s going on?”

Lisa clutched Adam’s arm, her eyes wide with terror. “You… you need to see this,” she said, her voice trembling.

Adam didn’t waste a second. He pulled a tablet from his bag, his hands trembling as he tu

The cameras rolled, their lenses focusing on me, capturing every calculated detail of my expression.“Good evening, my brothers and sisters of the packs,” I began, my voice smooth and commanding, filling the room and, undoubtedly, countless homes across the territories. “Today marks the beginning of a new era—one of strength, order, and true leadership.”I allowed the silence to stretch, feeding off the weight of my words. The carefully orchestrated scene behind me—the subdued Council of Elders bound and gagged—spoke volumes without me needing to say more.“For too long,” I continued, pacing slowly, “the Council of Elders has failed us. They’ve pretended to stand for justice and unity, while secretly indulging in corruption and cowardice. They’ve betrayed the very packs they swore to protect.”I turned toward the camera, letting my gaze pierce through the screen. “But no more.”The feed switched to a

    Evelyn“Stay with me, Dad,” I cried low, my voice trembling as I leaned closer to him. My hands pressed a damp cloth against the wound in his chest, and the coppery scent of blood was thick in the air, mingling with the faint sting of antiseptic.His breathing was shallow, each rise and fall of his chest a battle. I couldn’t look away, couldn’t let go. My father was too strong, too stubborn to let a silver bullet take him down, but the fear that filled my chest told me otherwise.“Evelyn,” Gaius said softly, his voice cutting through the panic spiraling in my head. He placed a firm hand on my shoulder, grounding me. “Step back. Let Adam handle it.”“I can’t,” I rasped, my hands refusing to move. “He needs me. I need to—”“Evelyn,” Gaius interrupted, his tone steady but commanding. “Trust Adam.”I hesitated, my fingers clinging to the cloth as if letting go would mean losing my father. Finally, I nodded, my movements stiff as I stepped aside, my knees threatening to give out beneath me

Rumors spread in hushed conversations, whispers that carried the weight of panic. I could feel it everywhere—the unease, the doubt, the fear of what might come next.Gaius stood in the council room, his broad shoulders squared as he faced the pack elders and advisers. The light from the high windows cast long rays on his face, but his expression was unreadable, a mask of control.“Alpha,” one of the elders began, his voice thin and brittle with age. “We understand your position, but Cyrus’s forces grow stronger every day. Packs far more powerful than ours have already fallen under his control. We must… reconsider our options.”The room fell silent, everyone waiting for Gaius’s response. His green eyes burned with quiet fury as he turned to face the elder.“You mean surrender,” he said flatly, his tone leaving no room for misunderstanding.The elder shifted uncomfortab

  • My ex-Luna came back for revenge   My 'husband'.

    Evelyn's POVEmpty. I had woken up to another empty bed. I reached the spot where my 'husband' should have slept and it was cold as ice. His scent wasn't there. It was everywhere else, but not on the bed. He hadn't slept here last night. I lay still on the bed, staring up at the ceiling, trying to fight the tears that burned the corner of my eyes. This wasn't new. This wasn't the first time. You would think that after being married for eight months, I would be used to this by now. Used to being ignored, to being tortured and tormented emotionally by a man I had foolishly given my heart to. I rolled out of bed and trudged out of my room. I could hear the maids moving around the building, cleaning and chattering. "Luna." They bowed when I walked past them, downstairs. I was following a scent. The one scent that made my heart beat faster and blood rushing through my ears. I found him in the kitchen, naked down to the waist, holding up a frying pan. His dark hair was to

    Evelyn's POV "C-Clara," I stuttered when the couple did not stop their obscene act. "What... What's the meaning of this?" She ignored me for a while and I grew angry. "Clara, stop this right now!" She sighed, tossed me a scathing look before disentangling from her lover. Naked, she climbed off the bed and strutted toward me. The last time I had seen her, her skin had been so pale and white. Now she looked so vibrant, it was confusing. "I thought you were sick. I thought you had the disease," I whispered, backing away with each step she took toward me. "Oh, please." She scoffed. "May the goddess forbid. I am hale and hearty as you can see." Roman approached the room then. He shoved me aside, causing me to fall to the ground while he laughed cruelly. "The gig is up, Clara?" "I got tired." She shrugged while I looked on in disbelief. "For how long was I supposed to pretend to be sick? She already married the Alpha in my place, so what's the point?" I gaspe

  • My ex-Luna came back for revenge   Threats.

    Evelyn's POV My heart beat faster as I reread the text. Run? What did that mean? Was it Raven? Was she trying to threaten me into leaving Cyrus? "No," I shook my head, sniffing. "He's mine! Cyrus is mine!" I sent him a series of texts, demanding where he was and reminding him that he was supposed to have dinner with me. I got nothing in response, so I waited. By ten that night, my husband walked in, reeking of Raven's scent. "You're late," I sniffed, not moving an inch from where I was. He ignored me, ready to walk upstairs. "I made dinner." "It's late," he replied gruffly. "I had dinner already.” "With Raven," I spat, and heard him growl. I could hear the maids creeping out of their rooms, probably ready to witness another one of the many scenes of us arguing. "It's late, wife. If you're not eating, then go to bed.”"My name is Evelyn!" I yelled, rising from my chair and storming over to him. "And I am your Luna. Your wife. Not that crazy woman!" He stopped in h

    Evelyn's POV When I woke up, it was in a ward room. I was surrounded by the relieved faces of doctors and nurses. For a minute, I wondered why I was back in the hospital. Then, it dawned on me. I hastily tried to sit up, clutching my belly. "My baby," I croaked. "Please tell me nothing happened..." The doctor's relieved expression slowly shifted into a grim look. "I apologize, Luna Evelyn." He spoke, and my stomach dropped. "By the time you were rushed here, you had lost the baby." My body trembled. I closed my eyes, leaning back into the bed, trying not to break down. "Did my husband bring me here?"There was silence. I didn't have to open my eyes to know that they were staring awkwardly at each other. Their silence meant one thing. Cyrus hadn't known I had bled all over his elevator. At least not yet. "I would like to be alone," I murmured, turning my back to the doctor and nurses. I didn't make a sound but hot tears slipped down my face as I cried. I had lost m

    Evelyn's POV "Let go of me!" I screamed as the soldiers lifted me in both arms and carted me out of my home. "Let go this instant! Cyrus! Cyrus, you can't be serious!" I looked over my shoulders as I was being dragged away from my home. A maid had a sad look on her face as she closed the front door. The soldiers shoved me into a car and drove while I screamed. They arrived at the pack prison and left me down to the dungeon. A place kept for hardened criminals and dangerous people. It reeked of dirt and blood and sweat. I could hear the hollering of the prisoners as I got led through a small hallway down to a prison at the end. I had stopped screaming. What was the point? No one could save me. I had been rejected by my family, treated as dirt, and used as a pawn over and over. And then I yearned for the love of a cruel man who treated me like a prisoner. Because of his lover. "I'm sorry, Luna." One of the guards mumbled in apology as he opened the jail gate. I wal

  • My ex-Luna came back for revenge   It's over.

    EvelynThe warmth of the water washed over my skin, steam curling in the air like a beautiful cloud. Gaius stood behind me, his strong arms wrapped around my waist, his hands tight over my abdomen as though he were afraid to let go. His touch was gentle.“I missed you,” he murmured, his lips brushing the curve of my shoulder.I placed my head back against his chest, closing my eyes and letting the warmth sink into my tired muscles. “You’re here now,” I whispered, my voice soft but steady. “That’s all that matters.”The shower wasn’t just about washing away the dirt and exhaustion of the past few days—it was about cleansing the weight of everything that had tried to break us. After a while, Gaius reached for the towel, wrapping it around me with care before taking one for himself. I caught his gaze in the mirror as we dried off, his eyes softer than I’d seen them in weeks.“You’re staring,” I teased, the corners of my lips twitching into a faint smile.“Can you blame me?” he replied,

    GauisThe cold mountain wind hit my face as I stood with my warriors, the night covering us in shadows. Below, the faint glimmer of lights from Cyrus’s hidden fortress flickered like the embers of a dying fire. But this wasn’t a fire meant to be snuffed out—it was a storm waiting to ignite.“Alpha Gaius,” Adam said, his voice low as he crouched beside me. “The scouts confirm the defenses are active. Tripwires, motion sensors, and patrols at every entrance.”I nodded, my jaw tightening. “Exactly what we expected. They’ll be waiting for a full-scale assault.”“And we’ll give it to them,” Adam said, a grim smile tugging at his lips.I turned, my eyes scanning the group of Alphas who had come to stand with me. Their faces were stern, their resolve palpable. They’d brought warriors, supplies, and most importantly, the strength of their alliances. This wasn’t just my fight—it was ours.“Listen up,” I said, my voice cutting through the tense air. “Cyrus thinks his walls will protect him, b

    Gauis“Double the perimeter guard,” I barked, my voice cutting through the tense air. “I don’t want a single rogue slipping through.”“Yes, Alpha,” the head of the watch replied, bowing sharply before rushing off to relay my orders.The night was cold, but the heat of the impending ambush roiled through my veins like fire. I stood on the balcony overlooking the coalition meeting grounds, every muscle in my body taut as I scanned the dark forest beyond. The knowledge of Cyrus’s planned attack weighed heavily on me, each passing moment feeding the tension simmering in my chest.The rogues were coming—I was sure of it.Adam, approached swiftly, his steps purposeful. “The scouts have reported activity on the eastern ridge,” he said, his voice low. “Movement consistent with rogue patterns. They’ll be here soon.”I nodded, my gaze still fixed on the tree line. “Good. Let them come.”Adam hesitated for a moment before speaking again. “Do you think Clara was telling the truth?

    EvelynThe tension in the air was heavy as Clara was dragged into the packhouse, her wrists bound and her head held high despite the murmurs of the guards surrounding her. My wolf stirred uneasily as I watched her approach, her face pale but determined, her lips pressed into a firm line."Put her there," Gaius ordered, his voice a low growl. He pointed to the chair in the center of the room, his eyes blazing with fury. The guards shoved Clara down, and she didn’t resist, though her sharp gaze immediately sought me out."Evelyn," she said, her voice trembling but defiant. "I didn’t kill your child. You have to believe me."My chest tightened at her words, and for a moment, the memory of the pain—the devastating loss—threatened to overwhelm me. I clenched my fists, willing myself to stay calm. “Why would I believe anything you say?” I replied, my tone colder than I felt.“I didn’t do it,” Clara repeated, her voice rising slightly as if the constant insistence could make it true.“Liar,”

The sharp crack echoed through the dimly lit chamber, and every man in the room went tensed as though they feared the next blow would land on them.Kellan, the wiry scout who had earned a reputation for always knowing too much and saying too little, cleared his throat nervously. "Alpha Cyrus, the CCTV footage confirms it. Gaius infiltrated the facility."I turned my gaze to the screen on the wall, where the grainy footage played in a maddening loop. There he was—Gaius, his movements swift and confident, the ledger clutched in his hand as he slipped into the shadows like a damn thief.“Gaius,” I muttered, my wolf snarling beneath my skin. “Of course, it’s Gaius.”The men around the table exchanged uneasy glances, their silence only erupting the fire in my chest. My wolf paced restlessly, urging me to act, to strike back before Gaius could use what he had stolen.Tobias, my second-in-command, finally fou
