My ex-Luna came back for revenge You are free.
Evelyn’s POVTHAT MAN!Not in a million years could I ever have thought that that man would end up being my mate. A second mate at that. And how weird could it be that the man ended up looking exactly like him - my dead mate. Archer Hartwood. Just as the name came to my mind, so did the memory of us together. Even though it was only for a short while, it was one I would not forget in a hurry. And I had thought that we would have a lots of time on our hand to create many more beautiful memories. And even as I tried my best to stop the memory that threatened to burst forth, it still came. That night when he had died. It had all looked like a dream to me when one minute we were laughing and chasing each other around, and the next minute, a scream had rented the air and all I saw when I went to the place the sound came from was the dead body of my mate, Archer. Somebody had thought it fun to take a knife through the heart of the man and had left him there in his agony to fend for
Last Updated : 2024-09-08My ex-Luna came back for revenge Freedom.
Evelyn’s POV“You are free.”Those words felt like a million and one dancing butterflies in my stomach because of how excited I got at hearing them. Might never seem like a huge feat to most people, but for someone like me who has always been bounded by people and the kind of situation I found myself in, they were a whole lots. But while it felt a whole lot of good to finally be free and have the freedom to do whatever I wanted with my life, I realized that I didn’t even have anything to begin the life with. Not even a change of clothes. Sheepishly, I looked at the man whom I could now refer to as my savior. “Would you like to come with me?” He asked, even as he mounted on his bike. I didn’t wait for any other invitation before I jumped on the bike and sat behind him. Before I could say jack, he ignited the bike and zoomed off on full speed. His guards, who accompanied us, all got into the four cars that were parked around and flagged us about, still trying to protect us. At that

Evelyn’s POV If embarrassment was a person, I was sure it would be me at that point. Worst of all, I couldn't even move to cover my nakedness or even turn around to protect my body. All I felt was being glued to a spot, not able to do anything at all. “Sorry.” I heard Alpha Gaius apologize in a small voice - a complete contrast to his usual masculine one - before he turned around to give me some privacy. The women with me took that advantage and quickly got my night dress up. Once they were sure I looked presentable, they gave me encouraging smiles and sped out of the room, leaving me alone with my new found mate. By the moon goddess. “Sorry about earlier. I thought you were done with the whole thing.” Alpha Gaius apologized the moment he turned around. He stared directly into my eyes, and I felt myself burning away in his brown eyes. I blushed like a teenage girl, and found that I couldn’t stop it even if I wanted to. My nipples contracted - my first sign of arousal. When I

Gaius’s POV. The tears that she had managed to stop before came back with full speed. They streamed down her soft cheeks, and I found myself feeling guilty for being the reason why she was like that. Not after I had promised myself that as long as I was breathing, she was never going to be sad again. Still, I was right in everything I did. I was right in my thoughts. She was supposed to belong to my brother. She would have, if the man was still alive. “Evelyn, listen to me…” I began but her head shaking broke me off. I wanted to keep mute as she had insinuated, but something in me kept pushing to explain to her. “Archer…” I began again, but again, I had to stop because of how much hurt was reflecting in her face. I knew exactly how she was feeling at the moment. It had come as a rude shock to me when I heard the news of the death of my only brother. The news had quickly reached me that he had been killed by an unknown person on the very first date he had with his mate.
Last Updated : 2024-09-11My ex-Luna came back for revenge The revelation.
Evelyn’s POV. I suddenly found myself back in the elevator, going up to the top of the floor to see my husband and announce to him about the baby we were going to have together. My wolf, Bree, was busy sharing in the excitement and the hope for what the future would bring for us with Alpha Cyrus now that there was a baby in the picture. Everything seemed to be going just fine. Until then!Halfway through the elevator ride, the elevator door suddenly opened. Before I could have time to react or even acknowledge the presence of the strange man who came in, I was knocked down with a hit in my stomach and the stranger was out of the elevator, leaving me bleeding and close to death. “No! Not my baby!” I screamed, swaying my hands in the air in the bid to protect my baby. I flew up from the floor and gasped for air while looking around. That was when I realized that what I just faced was a nightmare of the past. I was not in the past, but rather on the bed. I sighed and reached for th
Last Updated : 2024-09-12My ex-Luna came back for revenge The truth about Alpha Cyrus.
Evelyn’s POV. That idiot had killed my first mate!By the moon goddess!I was going to kill him and make sure that even his corpse would be left in the field or the mountains or wherever for vultures to feed on. How dare he!“And do you want to know why?” Alpha Gaius's voice trembled as he let out. “Just because Archer had sworn an oath that Cyrus was not going to commit all his atrocities. At least, not as long as Archer was breathing. Which was why the evil man killed him.” He explained. It was hard to comprehend the words. To think that I had always thought that my ex husband had been nothing but good and kind to everyone - except me - all these while, only to be dealt this news of his cruelty. How could a man with power think that the next best thing to do was kill another person just because the person was trying to stop them from committing evil?Was all that I knew of Cyrus a facade then? Was he worse than Rogues whom we had all been warned while growing to steer clear off

Gaius’s POVI could see it in her eyes. The depth of disappointment she had in her ex husband. Tinted with the disappointment was grieve for herself and maybe some guilt. I knew she was overwhelmed by everything that had been going on. While it seemed a little cruel that I was dumbing everything on her, I knew that it was something that was necessary. Not only would it help her to take her stand seriously, but it would also help her to kill whatever feeling she might still have left for the man. “I am so sorry. For everything each of you had gone through in the hands of that monster.” She said after about a minute or two of silence. Lisa and Adam nodded their heads to show that they heard her. “Evelyn,” I called to get her attention. She raised her head to look at me. “Like I said, there is a fourth associate. They were supposed to be a part of this meeting but they couldn’t make it here tonight. When the time is right, you will meet them,” I explained to her. She nodded her he

Evelyn’s POVMy father had something that could bring down Alpha Cyrus?I couldn’t help but wonder exactly what that could be. Apart from them meeting at the meetings for Alphas, I was not sure I had ever seen them together again. Still, I knew that I couldn’t rule out the possibility especially when I knew quite well that both my ex husband and my father were cunning men. They were both so bad that I couldn’t and wouldn’t be able to tell which one of them was worse than the other. My heart thumped in excitement as I wondered what exactly my father had against Cyrus. And if he did have something against the man, why?Why had he deemed it fit enough to keep a record against the man?“Evelyn?” A hand shook me slightly, bringing me back to the present. “Are you here?” I looked up to see that it was Alpha Gaius and he had a worried look on his face. “Sorry about that,” I apologized to him. “What were you saying?” I asked with a small smile that didn’t quite reach my eyes. “Adam was as

GaiusThe morning after the explosions, I stood in my study, pacing. My phone lay on the desk, taunting me. The council of elders needed to be informed about the attacks on Cyrus’s factories, but I knew they wouldn’t make it easy. The council liked to sit in their plush chairs and argue while the rest of us did the real work of keeping order.Still, this was too big to ignore. I needed answers, and the council had resources I couldn’t access alone.I grabbed the phone and dialed the private number that connected me to their offices. The line rang longer than I liked before a stern, familiar voice answered.“Alpha Gaius,” Elder Rowan greeted, his tone as neutral as ever. “To what do we owe this early call?”“Cyrus’s factories,” I said bluntly. “They were destroyed last night. All of them.”A pause. I could practically hear the gears turning in Rowan’s head. “We heard reports of explosions,” he admitted. “But we assumed it was a local issue. You’re saying this was coordinated?”“Yes,”
My ex-Luna came back for revenge Worry... unease...
EvelynRaven lay on the couch, looking pale and broken.Her chest rising and falling in uneven, shallow breaths. Blood stained her clothe and streaked her face, and I couldn’t look at her without feeling a strange mix of emotions. Hatred and anger , all deep inside me, reminders of the damage she’d caused in the past, but they were overshadowed by something else now. Worry. Unease.The medics rushed in with their kits, their faces set in grim determination. I stepped back, giving them room to work. Gaius stayed nearby, his sharp eyes watching every movement as if willing Raven to survive by force.“She’s critical,” one of the medics muttered to the other as they worked quickly. “Her wounds are deep, and she’s lost a lot of blood. We’ll do what we can, but it’s not looking good.”Gaius’s jaw clenched at their words. “Do everything,” he said firmly. “Whatever it takes.”“We’ll try, Alpha,” the medic replied, though her tone was far from reassuring.I stood frozen a few steps away
My ex-Luna came back for revenge It wasn't mine.
EvelynThe house was too quiet. It wasn’t the kind of peaceful silence that brought comfort, but the heavy one that makes it hard to breathe. I sat on the edge of the bed, clutching my phone in one hand and staring at the number saved on the screen.It wasn’t mine.It was hers. The number I had blocked.I had written out the number, instinctually. Before Gaius had deleted it from my block history.A simple scrap of paper with a hastily scrawled number, one I clearly hadn’t intended for him to see.It felt like a secret, like another piece of his life he’d chosen to keep from me.I hated how much it bothered me. After everything we’d been through together, I shouldn’t have been second-guessing his intentions. But the thought of him leaving me out, of him choosing to meet with her, his ex-mate, was more painful than I wanted to admit.My fingers hovered over the phone, indecisive. The logical part of me said to let it go, to trust Gaius. But my heart wasn’t so easily silenced. If
My ex-Luna came back for revenge Just like that.
GaiusThe pack house was quiet when I entered, except for the soft glow of the lamps. The scent of lavender—Evelyn’s favorite—lingered in the air, mingling with the faint aroma of freshly baked bread. It was the smell of home, of safety, but tonight it felt stifling.I dropped my coat on the back of a chair, running a hand through my hair as I tried to push aside the weight of the day. The tension with Raven, the danger of Cyrus’s growing power—it all churned in my mind like a storm I couldn’t outrun.Evelyn’s soft footsteps reached my ears before I saw her. She appeared from the hallway, her face lighting up immediately she saw me. But the happiness was short-lived. Her eyes scanned my face, her expression shifting to concern.“You’re late,” she said softly, stepping closer. Her hands brushed against my arms, her touch grounding me for a moment. “How did it go? Did you meet them?”I hesitated, the words feeling stuck in my throat. I hated lying to her, but I couldn’t figure
My ex-Luna came back for revenge Anger and frustration.
GaiusRaven walked beside me looking tensed. She moved with caution.She had remained quiet for a while, and I found it difficult to read her expression. I finally broke the silence, my voice sharp. “What were you thinking back there, Raven? Going after her at like that? That could’ve gone very wrong.”Raven stopped abruptly, turning to face me. “What was I thinking?” she snapped, her eyes glaring at me.“What were you thinking, Gaius? Dragging us into some stranger’s trap without any solid plan? And I’m the reckless one?”“You didn’t have to make it worse,” I shot back, stepping closer. “ Attacking her like that—what did you think that was going to accomplish?”Raven clenched her hands into fists, and she scoffed, her voice filled with sarcasm. “Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize we were supposed to politely play along with her little game while she fed us with riddles. We don’t have time for this, Gaius. Every second we waste, Cyrus gets stronger.”“And every second you act witho
My ex-Luna came back for revenge What now?
Evelyn sat across me in the study, her eyes were filled with worry. The faint glow of light from the lamp on the desk, reflected on her face making the tension in her expression even more obvious. She shifted uncomfortably in her seat, clasping and unclasping her hands.“I need to tell you something,” she began, her voice hesitant.I set the papers I had been reviewing aside and turned my full attention to her.“What is it?”“There’s been… messages,” she said, she sounded worried. “Someone’s been texting me.”I furrowed my brows at her words. “Who?” I asked.“I don’t know,” she admitted. “It’s an unknown number. But they’re saying things about Cyrus—about his weaknesses. They claim to know something that could destroy him.”My wolf stirred uneasily inside me, and I leaned forward. “What exactly did the message say?” I asked, my tone sharp.“ They said that Cyrus isn’t as invincible as he wants everyone to think. That he has fears, and vulnerabilities aswell. They want to meet me
My ex-Luna came back for revenge I'll deal with it.
oEvelynEverything felt strained—our pack, our leadership, even my relationship with Gaius. We were trying to hold everyone together, but cracks were forming, and fear was seeping through.By the time evening arrived, I felt as if I hadn’t taken a proper breath all day. Gaius had spent most of the afternoon in the training grounds, working with the enforcers to boost their morale. I stayed in our room, trying to plan ways to calm the pack’s growing unrest.As I sat by the window, staring out at the dimming sky, my phone buzzed on the nightstand. I sighed, reaching for it, expecting to see a message from Lisa or Zack. Instead, my stomach flipped when I saw the screen light up with an unknown number.I hesitated. My finger hovered over the notification before I finally opened the message.“Cyrus isn’t as untouchable as he wants you to believe. He has fears, weaknesses. If you want to know the one way to bring him down, contact me.”I read the words over and over, my chest tighteni
My ex-Luna came back for revenge They are scared.
EvelynThe news of Cyrus’s latest attack had spread like wildfire, leaving fear and uncertainty in the minds of everyone.I stood near the large window in our study, staring out at the pack grounds. People were gathered in small groups, their hushed voices and wary glances betraying their fear. I could feel their doubts, their growing mistrust, and it stung more than I wanted to admit.Gaius sat at the desk behind me, his head resting in his hands. His normally strong, and commanding presence seemed dimmed, burden by the pack’s safety.“They’re scared,” I said quietly, not turning to face him. “I can feel it. Their fear is everywhere.”Gaius lifted his head, his green eyes meeting mine. “And they’re turning that fear into blame,” he said, his voice heavy. “They don’t think we can protect them anymore.”I sighed, crossing my arms over my chest. “We’ve faced worse before, Gaius. They know what Cyrus is capable of, but we’ve always fought back.”“This time feels different,” he mu
My ex-Luna came back for revenge You doubted me?
CyrusThe photograph of my father lay on the desk before me. It's edge was worn and the image slightly faded, but his eyes still seemed to pierce through me as they always had.“You doubted me, didn’t you?” I muttered, leaning back in my chair.“You thought I’d never amount to anything more than a disappointment.”I picked up the photo, running my gloved fingers along the frayed edges. His expression was as cold and unforgiving even in death as it had been in life. My lips twisted into a sharp smile.“But look at me now,” I said softly, my tone almost mocking. “I’ve surpassed even your wildest dreams. A world where the strong rule unchallenged, where no council, no laws, no Alphas can stand in the way—that’s what you always wanted. And I’ve made it a reality.”The smile faded as my wolfs growl rumbled low in my chest, the sound filling the silence of the room. “All that’s left are the two thorns in my side. Gaius and Evelyn.”Their names rolled off my tongue like a curse. They h
